The Supreme God of Martial Arts

At this point, Austin had already successfully returned to the Five Elements City.

With Elder Sharp at the helm of the FlHoly Land's headquarters, he was sure that no one would dare stir up any kind of trouble

there.

The three elders and four stewards, on the other hand, took care of the daily, mundane affairs that kept the FlHoly Land alive.

Everything was going well. Now, all they needed to do was to expand their territory and to recruit more disciples.

Earth Hermit had already left the headquarters of the FlHoly Land.

According to him, he was going to find a quiet and secluded place in order to cultivate alone and in peace. He was planning on

reaching higher realms.

Over the past year, he had helped Elder Sharp in repairing the Sect-protecting Array of the FlHoly Land. During that period, he

learned a lot about ancient arrays.

Also, with the help and guidance from Elder Sharp, he was about to make a breakthrough.

The moment Austin returned to the Five Elements City, he began to cultivate in seclusion.

In the castellan mansion, a piece of dust was in the corner of his secret room.

This dust was Austin's City model.

Austin sat silently, cross-legged in the middle of a deserted street in his City model. His eyes were closed, and he was focused on

running the Golden Sun Scripture.

Streaks of golden light were coming out of his body, effectively making him look like skind of a deity.

In his elixir field, the Fire Stela was busy refining one of the natural vessels of dragon energy.

A strong spiritual energy was continuously gushing out of the said natural vessel, flowing through all the energy meridians that

could be found on Austin's body.

Austin had four other natural vessels of dragon energy inside of him.

After ten days of strenuous cultivation, a low rumble suddenly manifested from Austin's body.

Apparently, immense amounts of golden vital energy was flowing through his energy meridians.

Because of this, all of his energy meridians were expanding rapidly.

"A sign of a breakthrough..." Austin whispered to himself, smiling.

"Brat," a disembodied voice echoed in Austin's Soul Sea. It was the FlEmperor's. "Based on my observations, it's clear that

you'll be going through the Thunderstroke Doom as go to your next breakthrough.

So you better start getting out of your City model and find a place far from any civilization to stage your breakthrough.

Because if you don't..." the voice trailed off, making his reminder ominous.

"No one knows what will happen next."

"Really?" Austin asked, not fully comprehending what had just been said to him.

"Do you really think that | might experience the Thunderstroke Doom this time?"

The possibility of that happening stunned him.

"Yes," the FlEmperor answered firmly. "The rules of heaven and earth here are different from those in the PrMartial World.

In the Divine Continent, only cultivators who have reached or are already above the Divine Bridge Realm could go through the

Thunderstroke Doom when they make breakthroughs.

It's not common—well, it's impossible—for Divine Bridge Realm cultivators to experience the Thunderstroke Doom when they reach

higher realms.

Only those at the Divine Bridge Realm who are specializing in practicing the cultivation methods and martial skills of thunder would

go through that," he explained carefully.

"But you know, when cultivators reach the Minor-perfection Realm, Thunderstroke Doom would surely appear when they make

breakthroughs.

Considering how skilled and powerful you are, | figured that you'll experience the Thunderstroke Doom when you make a

breakthrough,"

he resignedly concluded.

"l see,"

Austin whispered as he nodded in understanding.

‘Since he used to be at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm in the Divine Continent, he must know more about cultivation

than | do, ' Austin thought.

"Well then, thank you for the warning. I'll find myself a nice place outside the City model to break through," Austin said.

Not intending to waste any more time, Austin immediately teleported himself out of his City model and left the Five Elements City.

It was nighttime. The moon was high in the sky, and it was illuminating everything on the ground.

The sky was clear, and the stars were all shining brightly. It was a beautiful night.

Austin was using his bodily movement skill and was travelling towards one direction at full speed. After half an hour, he arrived at

the foot of a cluster of mountains. He was already a few hundred miles away from the Five Elements City.

He then rushed into the depths of the mountains to find a place to continue his cultivation.

After a few moments, he was able to find a place. He settled down, and proceeded to do what he needed to do.

Boom!

There were loud sounds coming from Austin's body, and he was already emitting a golden light that was illuminating everything

that was around him. The light was so strong that it would blind anyone or anything that would stare at him.

Then, above Austin's head, thick dark clouds were starting to gather.

Soon enough, flashes of lightning could be seen appearing within the said clouds. It was as if a small thunderstorm was brewing

above Austin.

This whole scenacontinued for a few minutes, then suddenly...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Powerful bolts of lightning started roaring above Austin, threatening to hit him at any moment.

Slowly, Austin raised his head to look what was happening above him.

"This feels so familiar.

The energy of thunder and lightning..."

Austin murmured, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

He couldn't help but stare at the dark clouds above him. One would be scared upon seeing such phenomena, but he just felt at

home.

Howl!

A ferocious beast in his elixir field cout of his body.

It was none other than the thunder unicorn.

For him, the thunder unicorn seemed a bit weak now.

However, he knew that this entity's talent was to swallow thunder and lightning.

Even though the dark clouds above him and its thunder presented a clear and present danger for anyone at that moment, it

wouldn't matter to the thunder unicorn. It wouldn't be affected.

Everything had a weakness.

The thunder unicorn that appeared was quickly preoccupied with the dark clouds above Austin. It seemed to be excited about it.

After a few moments, it soared to the sky and began to excitedly swallow the thick lightning coming at it.

Once in a while, the thunder unicorn would miss bolts of lightning and it would fall dangerously close to Austin. Fortunately, he was

able to smash them into smithereens easily.

Finally, about half an hour later, the dark clouds above Austin had disappeared.

Along with that was the lightning.

"I've finally reached the medium stage of Minor-perfection Realm!"

Austin shouted as he stood up and threw his hands in the air.

Howl!

The thunder unicorn also returned to Austin's elixir field.

Right after everything was settled down, he started his bodily movement skill and journeyed back to the Five Elements City.

As he was travelling, beams of sword-light illuminated the dark skies.

"This light... It is from the Divine Sword Cliff!"

Austin exclaimed, his tone mirroring his extrexcitement.

With that, he immediately tweaked his bodily movement skill and instead headed towards the Divine Sword Cliff.

A few moments later, Austin found himself on the huge cliff.

The sword light burst out from the signs left by the sword on the cliff and went straight into the sky.

Each beam of sword light was extremely powerful and contained sword intent.

Austin was sure that they could destroy anything in this world.

After observing the behaviors of the sword light for a few minutes, Austin found himself realizing that their direction, trajectory,

and speed were following sset rules.

Several beams of sword light worked together and locked down an area in order to block it. He was sure that no living thing would

be able to survive in that area.

Then, it dawned on him.

"It's a sword array!" he exclaimed, surprised and excited. He could not help but be shocked by what he had just discovered.

For a normal person, everything that was happening was random and chaotic. But for him, it all made sense.

Five beams of sword light soared into the sky at the stime.

Each sword light was of a different color.

The five beams of sword light contained different energies, and they gathered together to beca more powerful force. As they

did that, they created distorted realities. 'A proof of their power, ' Austin thought.

To him, these sword lights perfectly explain what true swordsmanship was.

Austin was totally immersed thinking about the sword light.

"What? What's going on?"

As Austin concentrated all his attention on sword light, the lower bottom of the cliff began to light up. The flashing was making up

figures, but he couldn't understand what they were.

Austin turned to look at the spot where these flashes were occurring.

There, words start to becmore and more prominent. Slowly, Austin was able to read what it was saying:

"lI am here to study the sword skills. | have finally completed the Dominant Spiritual Sense Swordsmanship. After | mastered this

sword skill, | also had made great progress in my swordsmanship! I'm the Sword Emperor from the PrMartial World!"

Austin's eyes widened in astonishment.

"The Sword Emperor of the PrMartial World?" he whispered.
