Soon after, Austin had finally entered the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
Looking at the ruined cosmos in front of him, Austin felt his heart crumble.
Its space barrier had been thoroughly destroyed. All the stars and worlds inside the cosmos were decimated, and the pieces were
all floating in the void.
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense and desperately searched for any sign of life.
However, no one was left behind. There was nothing but rubbles and ruins.
There was not a single person to be found. All the people that he cared about vanished.
Even the chaotic world tree disappeared.
Only a deafening silence and nothingness remained.
"What the hell is going on?"
Austin couldn't help but roar towards the sky.
Everything he saw was so cruel. He landed on one of the pieces of rubble and knelt on it. He placed his palms on his face as he
trembled.
"This can't be. | must find out what happened!"
Austin yelled in desperation in the vast space.
He then traveled through different universes among the three thousand big and small universes to assess the situation.
Almost all the universes suffered the sfate as the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
Eventually, Austin reached the edge of the three thousand big and small universes.
There, Austin found a small broken continent.
He was kind of surprised that there were actually creatures living on the continent.
At the stime, he felt a glimmer of hope in this baffling situation.
Austin hurriedly landed on the continent and approached an old man to ask squestions.
"There's nothing left here. The three thousand big and small universes were completely destroyed!
One thousand years ago, Hackett and Elliot returned to this place with the gods of darkness and the creatures of the isolated alien
spaces.
Soon after, the gods of light also arrived.
A horrifying battle between divine gods took place.
As a result, the three thousand big and small universes were utterly destroyed!

Divine gods were killed left and right.
Even when they died, their divine bodies caused explosions that demolished stars and worlds!"
The old man's words pierced deeply into Austin's heart.
'One thousand years? That's how much tpassed while | was in meditation!
A divine war between gods, huh? No wonder everything was broken to pieces..." Austin thought to himself.
"But what about the Fallen Immortal Cosmos? Were people from there able to escape before everything was destroyed?"
Austin asked the old man with high hopes.
"No, they didn't.
A vast majority of creatures in all the universes were not able to escape.
It was said that the gods of darkness actually aimed at the Fallen Immortal Cosmos and killed them all out of spite.
In fact, the Fallen Immortal Cosmos was one of the first to be destroyed.
It was too sudden that nobody managed to escape!"
the old man sighed. His face showed horror as he remembered what happened.
Hearing all this, Austin felt a hellish amount of despair and indignation.
"You shouldn't ask any more questions. Everything was destroyed. That's all you need to know.
It might be better for you to leave this place already,"
the old man said while he shook his head. He slowly walked away with a walking stick on his right hand.
Austin was left there, heartbroken.
"No! No way! This couldn't be true. | don't believe it!
Austin was in disarray. His clothes were tattered and his long gray hair was in a mess. His eyes turned red as if blood would come
out with his tears.
"What's the point of surviving and living alone if you're all dead?!"
Austin wailed and roared.
Tears fell on his face as he was consumed by misery.
"That's right. The people and their homes that you desired to protect with your life were now gone. What's the point of living?"
Suddenly, the old man turned around and stared at Austin with a pitiful look.
"Then, how about going to hell and reuniting with them?"
A murderous intent suddenly surged out from the old man's eyes.
‘What? This is not an ordinary old man!"
At this moment, Austin quickly felt a sense of grave danger.
Whoosh!
The old man suddenly attacked Austin. His overwhelming aura gushed out and pressed towards Austin like a raging tidal wave.
The old man's walking stick rushed forward towards Austin's head. It was enveloped with a fierce and malevolent aura.
In the nick of time, Austin regained his consciousness. His eyes opened in the real world.
Everything that was happening until now was just an illusion.
Austin was experiencing the trial of the Internal Demon Tribulation.
One thousand years didn't pass, and the three thousand big and small universes were still safe.
Everything was just made up by the will of suprenlightenment. It was Austin's test.
However, Austin was a little too late to wake up
A terrifying being invaded Austin's test as he was trying to break through the Internal Demon Tribulation.
While Austin was trapped in the illusion, this being sneaked in and tried to kill him.
Whoosh!
As the walking stick was fast approaching in real life, Austin didn't have the tto block the attack. In the moment of desperation,
he threw a punch. With it, sharp sword radiance spurted out from his fist to block the walking stick coming at him.
Crash!
The walking stick shattered the sword radiance and directly hit Austin's body. The impact was so devastating that Austin's body
was severely crushed into a puddle of blood.
"Ha-ha! What did | tell you, boy? You won't be able to break through the Heavenly Doom and beca god on my watch!"
A burst of sinister laughter rang out in the entire chaotic void.
The old man with a walking stick turned into a pale man, standing in a huge coffin.
The nine Nether Pictures for Deceiving Heaven were floating and spinning above his head as black mists gushed out and
surrounded him.
It was also because of the nine Nether Pictures for Deceiving Heaven that he had the chance to sneak into Austin's Internal Demon
without being noticed. With that, he had successfully delivered a direct assault that destroyed Austin's body.
It was the perfect chance to bring him down.
After Austin's body was broken, even his spiritual soul had taken ample damage.

The destructive energy from the old man continued to chase his soul and tried to completely destroy it.
"Shon you, you coward!"
Peterson, Morphy, Jarvis, Andreas and his other companions were all furious as they witnessed what happened to Austin.
They all rushed over and unleashed their tremendous aura.
"Ha-ha! You're late old-timers!
Austin, | welcyou to your death!"
The divine gods who were also opposed to Austin felt elated. They wasted no tand joined the fray to prevent Peterson and the
others from saving Austin.
A fierce battle immediately broke out.
"I'm sorry, boy. Your body could have been refined into one of my corpse slaves, but | broke it accidentally.
Ha-ha! What a pity!
Well, to compensate for that, I'll be sure to not waste your spiritual soul.
| will refine it into my corpse lamp!
From now on, your soul will beca part of my corpse lamp. Your energy will serve it well. Isn't it great?"
the man standing in the coffin talked down to Austin's soul in a mocking tone.
"Take him in now!"
Then, he pointed at the nine Nether Pictures for Deceiving Heaven above his head.
Strong power immediately burst out and tried to absorb Austin's spiritual soul.
At the smoment, the spiritual tree and spiritual dragon emerged from Austin's soul.
They unleashed domineering spiritual soul energy that protected Austin's soul.
Even the Reincarnation Token and Layne's Ruler suddenly appeared. They transformed into countless streaks of light, protecting
Austin's soul and carrying it into the void.
"No! No! No!
Don't let him escape!" the man shouted as he saw that the nine Nether Pictures for Deceiving Heaven were losing their grip upon
Austin's soul. With the overwhelming power displayed by the Reincarnation Token, it shook off the forces that were trying to pull
Austin's soul.
Immediately after, Austin's soul was completely freed and instantly vanished into the void.
Never did he expect that Austin was still able to escape in such a hopeless situation. "Austin, you son of a bitch!"
