The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Human brat, what has the wood puppet race ever done to you?

Why did you break into our sacred area? What exactly do you want?"

one of the governing gods of the wood puppet race shouted at Austin sternly.

The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were all there, staring at Austin with their piercing green eyes.

They were so exasperated by the thought that even though all of them worked together, they were still not a match for Austin.

They had already tried attacking him using their physical strength, mind power, and even the law of life, but none of them worked

out.

The three most powerful talents of the wood puppet race were rendered useless before Austin. He was just too powerful for them.

Therefore, at this point, the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were at a loss and didn't know what else to do.

"All | want is to see the maternal tree of your race. Givewhat | want and all of this shall stop.

| don't mean to harm you in any way. | just want to confirm something,"

Austin said with a straight face.

"No freaking way!

The maternal tree is the most sacred existence for the wood puppet race!

No outsider is allowed in its presence!

Now, get the hell out of here!"

one of the governing gods roared in anger.

"I don't think you understand your position here. | won't leave until | see the maternal tree and that's final,"

Austin retorted as his gaze swept across the governing gods.

"Gnome, let's go."

With a wave of Austin's hand, a force of space and tlifted the gnup. Then, they ignored the governing gods and headed

for the maternal tree.

With his incredible bodily movement skill, Austin moved at a very rapid rate. With just a single step, he disappeared and

reappeared at a void in the distance.

"Stop it, brat!"

"What are you doing? Stop him!"

The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race all turned pale at the sight of Austin's astonishing speed.

Boom! Boom!

In a flash, numerous green energy columns flew across the sky and dashed towards Austin's back.

However, without turning his head, Austin swung his sword backward to block all the attacks that were hurled towards him.

"What the hell? How could such a terrifying young human suddenly appear and wreak havoc everywhere?"

The eight governing gods were extremely anxious and upset.

"The fact remains that we must defend the maternal tree with all our might, even at the cost of our lives!"

With that, the eight governing gods moved out and chased after Austin.

Boom! Boom!

They began taking out their heavy weaponry with ferocious power. They let their weapons roar as they smashed them towards

Austin one after another.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the stime, streaks of invisible mind power darted and attacked Austin's body.

Then, a large amount of law of life turned into green rivers that gushed violently towards Austin.

However, Austin's bodily movement skill was just too brilliant. His pacing was very unpredictable that he was able to keep his

distance all the time. In fact, almost half of his pursuers were unable to target him.

Thus, Austin easily managed to suppress all the attacks thrown at him.

After his earlier clash with the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race, Austin had basically figured their moves, making it

easier for him to deal with them.

"Didn't you hear us? Stop!"

Although the eight governing gods were fuming in anger, they couldn't do anything to stop Austin at all.

A few moments later, a huge continent suddenly appeared in the distance.

It was floating in the void and was shrouded in a heavy green mist.

Streaks of pure law of life were condensed into chains that crisscrossed and hovered in the void.

It could be seen that numerous members of the wood puppet race lived on this continent. At first glance, it seemed as if the

continent was filled with densely packed green ants because of their relatively small sizes.

Then, at the center of the continent stood an eye-catching and towering tree.

Its height was unimaginable. It just went straight into the depths of the void, making it hard to tell where the top of the tree

actually extended to.

In fact, the huge tree almost covered the entire continent.

Moreover, streaks of the law of life circled around the huge tree, like countless green ribbons.

If one examined closely, he would find that countless green fruits hung in the dense branches of the colossal tree, giving off a

strong sense of life.

Crack!

With crisp sounds, sof these green fruits fell off the branches and transformed into wood puppets before touching the ground.

This was how the members of the wood puppet race cinto life.

"Needless to say, this must be the maternal tree,"

the gnsaid, fascinated by what he witnessed.

"You're right. This is beyond amazing."

As Austin stared at the massive tree that towered into the depths of the void, he couldn't help but feel awed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon after, the eight governing gods had finally caught up with them.

"Everyone, move out and protect the maternal tree!"

The eight governing gods called for their fellow wood puppets and ordered them to defend their maternal tree.

Soon enough, countless members of the wood puppet race rushed out and surrounded the huge tree.

All the wood puppets who resided on this continent were actually powerful cultivators. Each of them possessed strong fighting

power and couldn't be underestimated.

Like a colony of ants, a large number of wood puppets lined up and formed layers just to prevent Austin from advancing further.

"Human brat, this is as far as you can go. If you want to get to the maternal tree, you can only do so over our dead bodies!"

one of the governing gods roared as he glared at Austin.

"That's right. We will protect the maternal tree with our lives!"

The other members also expressed their solidarity.

"We swear to protect the maternal tree no matter what!"

After a while, all the members of the wood puppet race cried in unison. Their roars were deafening and almost made the space

tremble.

The scene was very frightening and it indeed felt that the wood puppet race would go crazy just to secure the maternal tree.

"Hey, brat. What are you going to do now?

It seems like you have provoked everyone here," the gnsaid, confounded by the sudden turn of events.

"What? It's going to be okay. There's no need to freak out,"

Austin said with a faint smile. There was no hint of fear or panic on his face.

"Well, yeah. I've seen how you fought them. Of course, I'm not afraid."

After witnessing how Austin toyed with several governing gods earlier, the gnfinally realized where Austin's confidence was

coming from.

"Listen. | don't want to hurt you nor do something that would hurt the maternal tree.

So I'm warning you to not forceto attack you,"

Austin said this directly to the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race.

"Then, leave now.

Otherwise, we will not hesitate to fight you to the death.

We won't let you go near the maternal tree. Get that through your head," the eight governing gods responded as they stood in the

front row, facing Austin.

The maternal tree was very sacred and important to all the members of the wood puppet race.

It was only natural for them to risk their lives for it since this was where they obtained their lives.

Once something bad happened to it, their whole race would lose its foundation.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Do not test my patience. You know that the consequences would be too much for each and

every one of you to bear,"

Austin warned in a low voice.

Then, as he spoke, he released his spiritual sense to perceive and examine the maternal tree.

"What is this?"

He clearly saw that the huge tree seemed to have a vital consciousness of life.

"Don't threaten us, brat! You better get out of here before things get messy!"

The eight governing gods stepped forward, showing their determination to protect the maternal tree with all their might.

"You're not that smart, aren't you?

Fine. Don't blfor what's about to happen. You've brought this to yourselves,"

Austin sighed and eventually prepared to make his move.

Since he actually had no enmity towards them, he didn't want to hurt them needlessly.

However, he was pushed to a situation where he had no choice but to force them to move aside.

"Set up the array! We're going to eliminate the enemy!"

the eight governing gods roared in unison.

Immediately after, countless members of the wood puppet race began to set up enormous arrays.

Most of these arrays utilized the principle of the law of life.

One after another, big arrays overlapped and surrounded the maternal tree. Each one emitted strong defensive power.

In just a short while, it was inevitable that a fierce battle would break out.
