"I need to get out of here," Austin murmured as he squinted his eyes.
Austin dared not waste any more time, and went deeper in the Sword Treasure-house in a flash. He was aware that every second
counted in this situation.
His demonic avatar caught up with Austin in a split second, and immediately entered his body.
The two demon semi-emperors from the demon race were engulfed with fear. They suddenly started shaking uncontrollably.
Without a second thought, they ran away like cowards.
In the next instant, loud explosions suddenly erupted out of nowhere.
Multiple streaks of sword aura slammed at the area where Austin and the two demons had once stood.
The sword auras were frighteningly powerful and varied in size. Swere as big as a human's thumb, while others were the size
of a door. Sof them were indigo in color, while the other sword auras were bright and golden. Despite of their differences, each
sword aura was so lethal and was packed with so much power.
The streaks of sword aura were blindingly bright, and were accompanied by the crackling sounds which could be heard from miles
away.
In a blink of an eye, the ground turned into a total mess. Rocks and debris were scattered everywhere and there were multiple
holes on the ground, as if bombs suddenly blew off in the area.
At this moment, Austin was several kilometers away. What just happened definitely shook him to the core and left him gaping at
the area where he once stood. He was relieved that he sensed what was about to happen, which gave him the opportunity to
escape.
'It was a good thing that | was able to run instantly with the use of my bodily movement skill, or else | would have been dead
already.
It turns out fighting is not allowed here in the Sword Treasure-house, and anyone who defies this rule will be attacked by the sword
aura.
That must be the Sword Emperor's voice, ' Austin thought to himself.
Austin kept moving onwards, delving deeper into the Sword Treasure-house.
The two demon semi-emperors from the demon race were also relieved that they had ran away, or they would have been blown to
bits by the sword aura.
"Humph! Looks like we can't do as we please in this place.
If we want to kill Austin, we have to wait until he has left this God-forsaken house. We really don't have any other choice.
Well, since we can't take any action here, we should at least look for the treasures that the Sword Emperor had left behind," one of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe two demons suggested.
The two of them rushed forward and went deeper into the Sword Treasure-house.
Along the way, Austin had seen many grand palaces and buildings that were deserted. However, he was unable to find anything
valuable at all.
All he found were scommon elixirs and magic treasures, nothing really exciting.
And since Austin was already quite wealthy, those items meant nothing to him. They all seemed like useless objects for someone
like him.
‘Seriously? Sword Emperor askedto cin here just for the useless crap?’
Austin thought angrily, as he rolled his eyes.
Meanwhile, a white light suddenly popped up above the desert outside of the Sword Treasure-house.
Then a middle-aged man in white appeared and released an overwhelming sword aura.
It was none other than Baldwin.
"Master, you're finally here," two young men greeted him and drew closer towards him.
One of them wore yellow clothes, and the other wore something in indigo.
Baldwin was so excited that he suddenly burst out in sheer laughter. He was so ecstatic.
"The door has finally opened," Baldwin gushed, his gaze transfixed on the entrance of the Sword Treasure-house. It was as if he still
couldn't believe what he saw.
But soon, the smile disappeared from his face and was replaced with a frown.
"What the hell is going on? There are people inside," he said with a scowl. His eyes squinted as he continued to stare at the house.
Baldwin detected the sign of people with the use of his spiritual sense.
"Have you seen anyone enter?"
Baldwin shouted angrily as he turned towards his disciples.
"Master, the doors were already wide open when we arrived.
We have been here the entire time, and have not seen any living soul cand go," the young man in indigo replied cautiously.
He was already shaking with fear.
"Humph! Well, someone did enter that manor.
Looks like that person was the one who opened the door and went inside.
| didn't expect that there would be somebody else other than Sword Emperor who can open the door. This person must have known
the treasures hidden within and are after them.
But, | don't really care who he is. Everything in this residence will be mine anyway.
Anyone who dares to get in my way will die," Baldwin said icily, as he gazed at the manor.
Baldwin's eyes were quite sharp, as if they could pierce through people's heart.
"Cwith me," he snapped at the two disciples.
The very instant Baldwin finished his sentence, he immediately dashed into the Sword Treasure-house with his disciples. He looked
like a flash of lighting because of the speed at which he moved.
The three of them successfully got through the door without being attacked by the sword aura at all.
Meanwhile, in the Sword Treasure-house, Austin suddenly entered another palace.
He searched every nook and cranny but was only able to find a dozen holy weapons, and nothing else.
Since Austin even had primeval magic treasures at hand, these holy weapons were not something precious for him at all.
Despite that fact, he still hid these magic treasures and kept them safe.
Since he considered useless, he intended to give them to his subordinates who needed it the most.
‘Looks like Sword Emperor didn't leave any rare treasure in here, ' he sighed and was slightly discouraged with his whole search.
He was starting to think that all his efforts were in vain.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin realized that he was already quite far away from the entrance. 'Perhaps it wouldn't take long
before | reach the yard wall, ' he thought.
Because of this, Austin almost gave up and doubted that he might actually find samazing treasure in the manor. There wasn't
much area left to cover and search after all.
"Well whatever happens, I'll just consider this as a visit to his house. After all, he is like a master to me,"
Austin murmured, as he tried to comfort himself.
'What the hell?’
Austin suddenly stopped in his tracks, and as he raised his head, his eyes were fixated upon an object.
A cliff suddenly cinto his view.

The cliff was high up into the clouds. It was so high that its peak wasn't even visible at all.
Austin hadn't felt this cliff's presence when he used his spiritual sense before, which meant it simply appeared out of nowhere. He
was so intrigued by it, that he knew quite well he wouldn't be able to move forward if he didn't search it first.
It was obvious that he still had a long way to go even after he got through the cliff.
And who knows, maybe he would be able to discover something hidden behind the cliff.
Due to the cliff, Austin had to stop in his tracks.
He studied the cliff carefully. His eyes swept up and down the large land mass.
Eventually, Austin discovered two words etched on the cliff. It read: Trialing Corridor For Swordsmanship.
Besides that, he also observed fourteen caves on the cliff.
Each cave was about more than two meters high and over a meter wide.
And amazingly, streaks of sword aura gushed out from them like water squirting out.
Each cave looked dangerous, which frightened anyone who dared enter them.
"Trialing Corridor?
Are these caves meant for swordsmen?" Austin muttered, as carefully surveyed the caves one-by-one in front of him.
It was the first tthat he had seen anything like it.
Austin then saw swords written above the entrance of the cave.
From the left to right, the sign above the entrance of the first cave read ‘Level One Sword Potential’.
The sign above the exit of the second cave read 'Level Two Sword Potential’.
The sign above the exit of the tenth cave read 'Level Ten Sword Potential.
The sign above the entrance of the eleventh cave read 'Level One Sword Domain’.
The characters above the exits of the last three caves were 'Level Two Sword Domain’, ‘Level Third Sword Domain’ and 'Level Four
Sword Domain’.
‘Sword potential? Sword domain?
Letsee.’
A thought suddenly crossed Austin's mind.
