The Supreme God of Martial Arts

All the crystals they saw in that place were actually the ruling crystals.

The biggest one among them was ten meters tall. It was cubic in shape with a black foot embedded it. The foot was almost eight

meters long.

The black foot was in the shape of a human being's foot. But it definitely was not human foot as it was too large in size. And it was

pure black like carbon.

The large, black foot was covered with dense hair which was as thick and long as an adult's finger. The appearance of that foot

terrified people.

The miners stared at the large foot in that ruling crystal. They were stunned and petrified as well. The atmosphere was extremely

weird inside the mining well and everyone felt profoundly scared in that eerie place.

"These are all special ruling crystals. I'd say they are special top-grade ruling crystals!

One piece of a special ruling crystal is almost as precious at ten thousand ordinary ruling crystals!

| have been working here in the mine for so many years, but this is the first t| got lucky to see so many ruling crystals at one

place!"

A miner sighed as he kept staring at the shining ruling crystals in the mine. Probably he was in his forties.

‘Special ruling crystal? That's strange."

Hearing the miners’ discussion, Austin also realized something. He didn't actually think that there was anything such as special

ruling crystals that existed. But now he was convinced of their existence.

Compared to Austin, the miners knew more about the ruling crystals. It was obvious as they had been working with those crystals

for such a long time.

"Look! There is something in that piece of ruling crystal!"

Another miner who had been walking ahead of all exclaimed suddenly, out of terror.

He was absolutely right. In sof the other ruling crystals, there was something sealed inside. These things were all weird and

looked quite terrifying.

One piece of the ruling crystal contained something like a monkey's paw. The difference was that it was quite bigger than an

average monkey's paw.

It was like a steel hook, with dense black hair on it. It had black and scary auras radiated from it. Although the paw was sealed

inside the ruling crystal, people could still sense the powerful aura clearly.

"There are a monkey's foot, head, body and paws. Oh, gosh! It definitely is one monkey. It looks like its body had been split and

sealed in different pieces of ruling crystals!"

A bold miner stepped forward holding the torch in his hand. He moved the torch across so he could see the body parts enclosed in

the crystals.

Soon the other people followed the first miner and made the space becbright with their torches. On doing so, they found that

there were totally five or six pieces of ruling crystals that had the different parts of a monkey sealed inside. There were limbs, body

and head. All these parts could be joined to a complete monkey.

The weird monkey surely had been huge, reaching dozens of meters high with dense and black hair all over his body. It had a very

cruel and horrible face.

The people were more surprised when they saw that it had a pair of wings too. The wings were at least one meter long and black in

color like the rest of the body parts.

"Oh, gosh! | remember now. It is believed to be the flying demonic monkey!

| remember | was told about it when | was just a kid. Several elder members of my family were miners. My grandfather's

grandfather had also worked in the Northern Mine District. He also had cacross such an inauspicious thing.

After that, my grandfather's grandfather fell sick and stayed in bed for a few years. He ended up dying in that state for he never

recovered.

According to him, there were many things which were far too dangerous and we miners should not even see them. They were

either cursed or filled with evil energy. If we discover or release the unknown living things sealed in the crystals, we will surely be

dead!"

An aged miner said, trembling with fear. He was so frightened that his legs seemed to go weak and could not support his body

anymore. In the end, he buckled and got down on his knees. He kowtowed to the ruling crystals that had the body parts of the

strange monkey.

"Mr. Monkey, please do not kill us. Please forgive us, Mr. Monkey!" he pleaded.

As the aged miner held a position of high reputation among the miners, the other miners listened to his words carefully. He was old

and had worked in the mining area for a longer tthan other miners. So, it was quite evident that he knew much more about

such things than the rest of them.

Seeing the actions of the older miner, nearly one hundred miners, who were present there, started to get down on their knees.

They too kowtowed to those ruling crystals.

Of course Austin was not among them! He felt that the monkey and the giant human foot probably belonged to sspecial race

which existed in ancient times. And for sreason unknown to them, the monkey was sealed inside the ruling crystals.

Suddenly, Austin felt his heart tighten.

He found that the ruling crystal which had the monkey's head suddenly blinked once.

At that instant, Austin was terrified and his hair on his body was literally standing on its end. It was a hair-raising feeling that filled

him.

'What was that?

Is it possible that the weird monkey is still alive? How can that happen? It's not possible as the body of the weird monkey had been

cut into pieces and kept in separate crystals!" he wondered.

"Look! This piece of ruling crystal with the monkey paw seems to have a crack. Yes, it has broken a little. And it looks like there is

black fog in it!

So, does it mean that the black fog we saw a moment ago was from the broken ruling crystal?"

One of the miners was examining the things carefully and had found sclue.

Everybody turned their eyes to that piece of ruling crystal. It was true! The piece of ruling crystal containing the monkey's paw was

really broken.

A little bit of the flesh of the monkey was exposed in the air through that crack. It had becdry with black fog around it. Now

those people understood from where the black fog which had erupted moments ago came. It had leaked from the ruling crystal

which had the crack.

'What is this dreadful thing? Only a little flesh is exposed in the air and it has produced such scary aura and so much black fog!

It seems like even a cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm cannot bear it! It's really beyond imagination!"

Austin was frightened and started analyzing the situation in his mind.

"Look! The other piece of ruling crystal with the monkey's hand in it seems to be slowly cracking too. No! Watch out! The black fog

is being released from it!"

a miner uttered as his eyes widened out of fear. He stared at another ruling crystal which had the monkey's paw sealed in it.

"Run everybody! Run quickly!"

Austin shouted loudly when he suddenly realized that the bad situation was going out of hands and worsening further.

Most of the miners were ordinary people who did not practice martial art skills. So, if they got in contact with even a little bit of the

black fog, they would certainly die.

Immediately, the miners used their presence of mind and started to escape like a flock of birds fluttering away on hearing the

gunshot. They were trying hard to run to the exit of the well to rush out safely.

But Austin did not run with the miners. On the contrary, he stayed in the place and stared at the special ruling crystals.

There were many special ruling crystals in the mine. A few pieces contained the giant foot and about five or six pieces had the

flying demonic monkey's body parts sealed in them. The rest of the ruling crystals did not have anything inside. There were at

least hundreds of special ruling crystals that were empty.

Having reached the place with such valuable crystals Austin did not want to leave empty-handed. He wanted to take a few special

ruling crystals.

So, Austin waved his sleeves and gave off a gentle vital energy force, which flew in the direction of the mine. In a split second, the

special ruling crystals that contained nothing had been put into his Space Ring.

All of a sudden, something weird happened.

When Austin was putting those ruling crystals into his Space Ring, the closed eyes on the head of the flying demonic monkey,

which was sealed in one of the ruling crystals, opened and stared at Austin.

He glared at Austin as if he knew that the latter had taken sof its precious belongings.

A powerful aura along with terrifying spiritual pressure filled the whole mine. It was so strong that Austin could barely breathe.

It made Austin realize that the head of the monkey was conscious! It was alive!

It gave Austin the creeps to see such a thing happening right in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, it made the courageous and brave Austin fearful. He could feel that he was in great danger.

It also made Austin feel that he was not qualified or strong enough to fight with the monkey.

As those thoughts whirled in his mind, Austin did not want to stay there for even a second. Without any further delay, he started

the bodily movement skill he had worked out by himself. He wanted to rush out of the mine as quickly as he could.
