The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin ordered the five corpse demons to surround Buck, the new Sect Leader, and the two vice Sect Leaders of the Ghost Sect.

These three leaders were both surprised and scared by the unexpected move.

"That's impossible! How could you possibly control them? Tell us!" Buck was shell shocked. He looked at the five corpse demons with disbelief written on his face.

The two vice Sect Leaders stared at the corpse demons blankly. Their spiritual sense cultivation base wasn't high enough yet, so they had not been confident in controlling the corpse demons using the Corpse Controlling Spell from the very beginning. Instead, they had just been trying to control the five corpse demons. They wondered, 'How could this young man have gained control over all five of these corpse demons in such a short period?'. This was totally unbelievable! They had been interrupted in the middle of their attempt at controlling the corpse demons with the Corpse Controlling Spell. None of them had expected the young man who had popped up in front of them, much less that he was able to control the corpse demons so easily.

"He killed our former Sect Leader? ... How did he...

Is he...

Buck, could this young man be Austin?" the tall and thin vice Sect Leader asked aghast.

"Austin!" The other two leaders instantly thought of the sperson too. Terrified and concerned they both shifted their attention to Austin too.

These three leaders had been in the base camp of the Ghost Sect when the principle force of the Mysterious Sky Empire had attacked the Imperial Capital City, so they hadn't personally witnessed their former Sect Leader being killed by Austin.

However, the Ghost Sect disciples and the Mysterious Sky Empire soldiers who had narrowly escaped from the battlefield had told them about Austin. They had said that a young man of terrible powers had reversed the tide of the battle and was responsible for their losses. Because they were both impressed and afraid of Austin, they had mentioned his nmany times.

So the three new leaders of the Ghost Sect had heard about the former Sect Leader's death at the hands of a young man called Austin.

Now Austin's words reminded them of who he was.

"Austin?! It's you! Oh my God!" The three leaders were so shocked, it was as if they had just been struck by lightning. A deep fear arose within them.

The previous Sect Leader had been a cultivator of the Imperial Realm, and was infinitely superior to them in cultivation base. If this young man had possessed the abilities to kill him, then surely he would be able to destroy the three of them like crushing three ants! Thinking about this, they began to tremble visibly.

They exchanged glances, and saw the horror reflected in each other's eyes.

"Yes. I'm Austin.

I'm very interested in these corpse demons. I'll be taking them back with me.

As for you...I'm going to send you to your former Sect Leader," Austin said with a mocking smile. Then he gave an order and the five corpse demons attacked at the stime. After several rounds, accompanied by miserable shrieks, the three leaders of the Ghost Sect were torn limb from limb by the ferocious corpse demons.

Each corpse demon had the adeptness of an Imperial Realm cultivator, so it was a piece of cake for them to kill mere Sky Realm cultivators.

Austin found three Space Rings among the remains of the dead men, which contained a wealth of cultivation riches and resources inside.

He also found three body bags had been in their possession.

After stuffing the five corpse demons into the body bags, Austin glued his eyes on the small, black liquid filled pool.

He detected an evil and foul smell emanating from the bottom of the pool. Although he had never been afraid of evil powers, Austin's heart thumped faster as he stared into the unknown.

He released his spiritual sense power and probed towards the bottom of the pool. Beneath there seemed to be an endless abyss where a continuous tide of eerie liquid and air ebbed from out of nowhere.

The ominous gasses seemed to be denser than what the corpse miasma in the cellar had been. Austin had a suspicion that the constant stream of the putrid air was the source of the corpse miasma in the cellar.

'The source of the corpse miasma is in the depths of this pool. No wonder the corpse miasma is so strong here in the cellar, ' Austin thought. Then he continued to probe the depth of the pool with his spiritual sense power.

However, to his surprise, it failed to probe to the very bottom of the pool.

'With my current spiritual sense power, | had previously been able to probe over a range of 46, 000 meters at least. Buy why can't | sense the bottom of this small pool? How deep is it exactly?’ he wondered mystified.

Suddenly, his face turned pale as he staggered and almost fell. He felt as if a strange force had suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool from a distant and unknown place and wiped out most of his spiritual sense power. He felt utterly drained by the contact with the unearthly presence! Due to his spiritual sense power being so severely impaired, the energy flow in Austin's body was suddenly disrupted. He felt the blood in his body surge and soon, several rivulets of blood trickled over the corners of his lips, and he coughed convulsively for a moment.

After eliminating his spiritual sense power which had been fully extended down the depths of the pool, the strange force didn't seem to stop, but instead began to rise up towards the surface.

Since it could so easily eliminate his spiritual sense power, Austin knew that the strange force was extremely powerful. He was terrified, as he realized that with his current energy drain, he was very liked to be killed by it! So he curbed his curiosity and withdrew his searching probe from the strange force. Then he flashed away from the corpse cellar at an incredible speed by using his bodily movement skill.

Only once he had exited from the cellar, did the sense of danger recede from his mind. Though it left him with a great uneasiness.

Since he had gotten the five corpse demons, his purpose for coming to the headquarters of the Ghost Sect had been satisfied.

Austin didn't want to linger in this strange place any longer, so he continued to travel along using the bodily movement skill and left the Ghost Mountain.

He knew that the sudden death of the three new leaders would be a heavy blow to the Ghost Sect.

It would be unlikely, if not impossible, for the sect to recover within a short time.

Maybe the sect would disappear forever from the Mysterious Sky Empire. Certainly, this was Austin's hope.

After leaving the Ghost Sect, Austin embarked upon his new journey.

There were three powerful holy kingdoms on the South Continent of the PrMartial World: Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, Elite Holy Kingdom and Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom.

In addition to these powerful holy kingdoms, there were still a number of unexplored empires of different competences. There were also at least several hundred or maybe about a thousand smaller countries like the Violet Orchid Empire.

Although the Mysterious Sky Empire was a little stronger than the Violet Orchid Empire, they could be grouped in the scategory.

After leaving the Mysterious Sky Empire, Austin purchased a map of the South Continent of the PrMartial World. During the following months, he visited a dozen small countries along the routes indicated on the map. On his travels, Austin had a lot of fun and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains while observing different local customs and unusual practices of these countries.

Meanwhile, he didn't neglect his studies and practiced cultivating with a staunch dedication.

He never stopped practicing the Golden Sun Scripture, and every day, at a set time, he would strengthen what he had already learned.

However, it was hard work. Even for a cultivator who had reached a high vital energy level it was a struggle to achieve a breakthrough in the cultivation of the Golden Sun Scripture.

Austin knew that over the past year, he had progressed at an incredible speed from the Energy Gathering Realm to the Sky Realm.

The coin had two sides though. The advantage this brought was that his competence had increased rapidly.

But because he had consumed so much energy in speeding up his cultivation, his vital energy might not prove strong enough, and this might in fact impact the cultivation level which he might reach in the future.

So Austin wasn't overly eager to make a breakthrough for now. He planned to first focus on improving his vital energy quality and strengthening his cultivation base.

He was willing to wait patiently until he was ready to make a breakthrough in the future.
