A few rounds in and Austin was hit by the black and white stick.
The force of it threw him into the air, smashing part of his body in the process.
He chose to face Chace alone, without the help of his demonic avatar. He wanted to test his own strength.
Now he knew that he was still no match to Chace.
It only took several strikes to wound him.
But at least, Austin’ injuries were only superficial.
He used his Phoenix Nirvana skill, and bright flames burst from his body. They licked at his wounds and healed them instantly.
Allin all, he had sustained a dozen wounds from the fight. The most serious one was when his body was smashed and strewn to
the air. But thanks to his Phoenix Nirvana Skill, he survived all of them.
"Boy, what secret technique did you use to heal yourself?" Chace asked.
He seemed shocked by it.
The Phoenix Nirvana Skill was a legacy of Peterson the Taoist Ancestor. It was considered one of the most brilliant techniques in the
Immortal World. Its magic was powerful.
It was said that as long as the spiritual soul was intact, anyone who mastered the skill could cback to life even if his body were
destroyed.
Austin's body and soul had grown much solid by now.
Therefore, he could quickly recover from all his wounds using the Phoenix Nirvana Skill.
"I'm impressed.
You have achieved this much strength and power despite your young age.
In fact, you are stronger than most talents | have ever encountered.
It is truly remarkable,"
Chace praised, generously.
"Sir, you seem to be a good person.
Meanwhile, the leader of the underworld let his men slaughter the innocent and plunder their corpses. He is ruthless.
But still, you take his side. Why?"
Austin asked.
His words seemed to have caught Chace off guard.
Chace sighed and shook his head.
"lI don't think you will ever understand."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn his head, Austin was weak and young. Such personal matters wouldn't concern him.
But Austin carried on with his questions.
"Sir, do you know the plEarth?
Did you cfrom there? Have you ever been there at all?"
These were the questions that Austin longed to ask Chace.
The expression on Chace's face changed immediately. He glared daggers at Austin.
"Earth!
"How do you know the Earth? Tellthe truth!"
He stepped towards Austin. His body radiated such immense energy.
Crack! Crack!
The ground beneath them began to crumble.
At that moment, it was clear that Chace intended to take Austin's life.
However, such reaction gave Austin hope.
'He acts like this because he knows the Earth, ' he thought eagerly.
"You see, | cfrom the Earth. It is my home.
So | have deep feelings for that place,"
Austin answered.
He just wanted to know how much Chace knew about Earth.
"Are you saying that it is your home?" Chace asked, curiously.
He seemed to be finally calming down.
"I don't care how you knew Earth or why you askedabout it.
But from now on, you better stop with the questions.
It will do you no good.
For your own sake.
On the other hand, | chose to work for the underworld because of one thing, but it is useless trying to explain that to you.
Just know that underworld is far more powerful than you can imagine. If you value your life, | advise you to stay away from it."
As soon he said this, Chace turned around and walked away.
But Austin would not have this.
"Sir, the leader of the underworld plan to destroy this universe.
| cannot just stand by and let that happen. | am part of this universe, and | will never let them do whatever they want with it."
Chace only shook his head.
"Do whatever you want," he said before disappearing into the distance.
Austin stared at the direction where Chace had left.
"Chace... he seems to be facing his own difficulties."
Austin could not help but ponder on the other man's words.
He could tell that Chace was not evil in nature so it was pointless to hold a grudge against him.
Moreover, Chance didn't seem to have any intentions of killing him from the start.
Austin could feel his hesitation.
After his encounter with Chace, Austin continued to travel into the chaotic void. After an hour, he returned to the Real Space.
Meanwhile, back in the Black Hell City of the Tomb Star Cluster...
The masters of the underworld arrived and were ready to report to Ervin.
"Prince Ervin, we have searched everywhere and we still found no trace of the intruder.
It's possible that he is adept with spatial power and could have entered the chaotic void.
But when we went there, we still found nothing."
Ervin was livid.
"Who the hell is this invader?
How dare he stir up trouble in my place?" he bellowed.
"Prince Ervin, I've already guessed who it is.
| have reasons to believe that it is Austin, since the Evil Shadow King and Damon were also gone missing.
They were supposedly sent to the Corpse Refining Palace to be made into our soldiers.
But there were reports of someone breaking in. The next thing, our two hostages and Mr. Ma were gone.
| think that whoever broke in, he was targeting the two hostages,"
a man in a black robe voiced out his suspicions.
"You have a point."
Ervin nodded his head thoughtfully in agreement.
"Anyway, we have a way to find out the truth,"
Ervin said with a vicious sneer.
"Cwith me, all of you."
Ervin made his way to the corner of the city.
Dozens of men in black followed closely behind him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey cupon an ancient altar.
Anyone near it could feel the thick corpse miasma covering it. They recoiled from it.
"We shall give sacrifice to activate this altar. Only then will it show us what really happened today in the city.
And it will reveal to us the invader's face."
Ervin sat cross-legged on the altar.
The rest of the men followed suit.
"Let's get started," Ervin said.
All his veins suddenly burst open. Black blood spurted out of them like a fountain, dripping down on the altar.
Like him, the others began sacrificing their blood as well.
The Black Hell City was a priceless treasure of the underworld. It couldn't be activated casually by just anyone for it needed
people's blood essence before it could be used.
After a while, the Black Hell City began to shake vigorously. A burst of energy flew out of it.
It was finally awake. Its dark light soared high into the sky.
"Show me!"
Ervin shouted as he made several hand gestures and sent his energy into the alter.
In an instant, images appeared above the Black Hell City.
They showed what had happened earlier that day.
There was a young man who infiltrated their ranks disguised as one of their corpse soldiers. He had followed the horde into the
city.
The young man was, of course, Austin.
His face was shown clearly across the sky.
