The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Each demonic bee possessed a head resembles that of a human. They were littered in various colors, and roughly about the size of

an adult dog.

They all had human-like faces, complete with a nose, an ear, a mouth and two eyes.

They even had long unkempt hair. They could make your hair raise in fright at the first glance.

Their level of strength was at par to that of the level-four demonic beasts.

Despite all this information, Austin was going to have to experience it for himself.

Nearly tens of thousands of human head demonic bees, like an avalanche, instantly covered the whole of the bamboo forest,

including Austin and the gnome.

"Humph! You disgusting bees!"

Austin sneered.

A vital energy force burst forth from his body.

Whoosh!

Powerful shock waves are formed wherever the vital energy force went. The demonic bees died instantly as soon as they got

covered by it. They all exploded tically.

With just a snap of a finger, the avalanche of bees were obliterated, down the very last one, by the powerful shock waves.

The power of a level-four demonic beast was equal to the cultivation base of a human warrior.

So for Austin who possesses the cultivation base of Astral Realm, a power too compelling compared to that of the bees,

exterminating them was effortless.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Austin and the gntransformed into two beams of light. They continued searching among the seemingly boundless bamboo

forest.

A few moments later.

"Watch it!"

Austin was in the lead, when he cto a sudden stop.

He had perceived something unusual with his spiritual sense. His face instantly contorted into a frown.

Upon Austin's warning, the gnalso stopped all his movements.

"What the hell are these bugs? It's kind of weird."

Austin's face was getting more grim. He looked farther into the bamboo forest trying to make out what was beyond.

"Master, it is the Invisible Illusory Bugs!"

Violet emerged from the Illusion Bead, excitement evident in her voice.

She could always communicate with Austin telepathically.

Oh?

Invisible Illusory Bug?

Both Austin and the gnwere surprised at Violet's announcement.

They both gawked at Violet, trying to perceive anything from their confusion.

"Master, it's the Invisible Illusory Bug, a bizarre bug.

The power of a fully-grown Invisible Illusory Bug is at par to that of a tribulation beast.

Aside from that, it has two unsettling features.

First, they are practically invisible because of their completely transparent form. They couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

They cannot be perceived with the spiritual sense, either. Even those with powerful spiritual senses are still having a hard time

dealing with these bugs when fully-grown.

Second, it has an inborn ability to play a trick of illusion. It has a special breath that can make a warrior hallucinate upon release.

Violet explained.

"It's awesome!"

Austin and the gnlooked around the bamboo forest. They squinted their eyes and stared at one specific spot.

They couldn't make of anything at all. The place was completely transparent and couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

Despite the fact that they couldn't see, Austin and the gncould perceive this place through their spiritual senses. They felt

that there were over a dozen little finger-sized transparent bugs suspended in the air.

They were extremely difficult to seek out.

Had it not been for the fact that Austin's spiritual sense was very strong, Austin would had passed through them without notice.

The demonic powers of these bugs were on the slevel as that of a beast master.

At Austin and the gnome's level, it was nothing.

However, these Invisible Illusory Bugs were extremely difficult to spot. They would be at loss with what to do if they were attacked

in surprise.

With this in mind, Austin had no certainty of success.

"Tut-tut, these Invisible Illusory Bugs are really magical!"

Austin commended.

"Indeed!"

Violet agreed and walked towards these Invisible Illusory Bugs.

"Violet, what are you doing?"

Austin did a double take.

He saw Violet walk up to the Invisible Illusory Bugs. She suddenly stood still as she approached.

From what he could make with the events, Violet seemed to be communicating with these Invisible Illusory Bugs.

Then she carefully reached out her two palms to scoop the Invisible Illusory Bugs.

Austin and the gnwatched in awe.

They saw these formidable bugs creep slowly into the hands of Violet.

Violet cupped her hands and scooped up these bugs, smilingly and proudly walking up to Austin and the gnome.

"Violet, why do they seem so tame?"

Austin asked as he was still racking his brain for answers as to what was going on.

"They are born illusion-minded as | am. | can communicate with them.

| told them | had an Illusion Bead.

The Illusion Bead is a very suitable place for these bugs to cultivate.

| told them that they are allowed to cultivate inside the bead. They can hardly wait.

They'll be very useful once they're fully grown and I'll use them against any enemies that cmy way!"

Violet beamed as she transformed into a pink beam of light. Together with these bugs, she slipped into the Illusion Bead.

"Oh, so itis!"

Austin and the gninterjected, as puzzle pieces fit together in their heads.

Then, Austin and the gncontinued to scour through the bamboo forest.

Two hours later, they arrived at a certain place in the bamboo forest.

"On the left,"

the gnordered, as if spotting something.

He turned left and moved quickly towards the bamboo forest.

Austin activated his clairvoyance and his spiritual sense. He followed closely behind the gnome.

"The Three-life Spiritual Wood!"

Austin was jubilant, a large smile plastered on his face.

He performed his Thunderbolt Movement Skill and caught up with the gnin no time.

Half an hour later, Austin and the gnarrived at a clearing in the bamboo forest.

Austin was panting heavily. He was eyeing the narrow space a little farther up the footpath.

There situated a small yellow tree about 50 centimeters in height.

It was a very peculiar tree. It had only six twigs and three leaves!

And it glowed different shades of yellow.

Austin took a closer look at the strange tree.

Upon observation, he noticed that there were six tiny doors in it.

It turned out that there was one for each of the six twigs.

All the six tiny doors were open. Thick smoke was seen billowing from inside. The doors seemed like a passageway to unknown

places.

On the three leaves, illusory pictures flashed before their eyes.

They saw numerous newborn babies and dying old men in these pictures. The thwas all about the birth and the death.

"It turns out that what Angus had said was true!"

Austin stared at the pictures. He was exhilarated.

The Three-life Spiritual Wood was indeed a magical spiritual wood.

It had rich cultural connotations.

Each of the six twigs symbolized six paths of reincarnation.

The three leaves symbolized man's three lives -- in this life, in previous incarnation and in afterlife.

Austin was initially skeptic about what Angus said.

He thought that it was nothing but an ordinary spiritual wood.

Austin was not convinced until he had seen the illusory pictures with his own eyes.
