It was not until the old man withdrew his hand that Austin felt a sense of relief as he regained his breath. He quickly got up and
gasped heavily, catching air.
"You are too powerful, sir. | was about to explode back there because of the pressure you exuded!"
Austin panted. He clutched his chest, his heart beating loud and fast from the previous experience. The mere thought of what had
just happened left a lingering fear in him. He thought he could die at any moment.
"Hahaha!
Don't fret, young man. You're quite exceptional. It's unusual for anyone to hold on for such a long tunder my pressure. If it
reassures you, | can guarantee you that only a few young people like you exist in the Absolute Space Sea,"
the old man comforted before he burst into wild laugher. He seemed to be pleased with Austin's performance.
"Hmm, interesting. Lethave a try. | want to see how long this young man can hold under my pressure,"
the third elder offered as he stepped forward, itching to test Austin's capacity.
"Sir, wait! Let me—"
Austin blurted out. He was yet to fully recover from the last one and he was now about to be subjected to another powerful
pressure.
Before he could even process what was about to happen, the old man had already stretched out one of his fingers and pointed it in
front of Austin's eyebrows, ignoring the young man's protests.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A horrifying spiritual energy swiftly rushed out of the elder's finger. The pressure poured into Austin's Soul Sea.
As a result, it started trembling violently—equivalent to an earthquake with a high magnitude.
Austin's spiritual soul was on high alert, considering that a foreign energy invaded his Soul Sea.
The secret weapons in his Soul Sea worked hard to resist the invasion, serving as boosters to his spiritual soul. Together, they
fought against the spiritual energy coming from the elder's finger.
As his Soul Sea was being attacked violently, Austin started feeling uncomfortable. His whole body was trembling terribly, and his
face turned pale, with sweat dripping down all over his body.
The force kept on pouring into his body with each passing second. As it did, Austin felt that his spiritual soul and Soul Sea faltering
in the unwelcpresence—it was too intense! Cracks started to appear in them, as if they were about to explode anytime.
However, Austin knew that the old man had no intentions to kill him. He was just testing how long Austin could endure.
Therefore, Austin gritted his teeth and tried hard to hold on despite his body's outcries.

He unleashed all his spiritual energy to fight back.
He even added his mind power to the mix just to resist the spiritual energy.
The longer he held on, the more Austin felt distressed and weakened. At one point, he even felt like he was about to lose
consciousness. He was getting dizzy.
If things went on like this, he was sure that his Soul Sea and spiritual soul might explode.
After a long time,
the moment before Austin was about to collapse, the old man suddenly withdrew his finger and took back his spiritual energy.
Austin instantly collapsed on the ground.
As he relaxed his physique, he felt like he unloaded the burden of carrying millions of pounds.
He kept panting, catching his breath.
"You are indeed powerful, young man.
The spiritual energy | exerted just now was intense. Even a level-nine governing god would have shattered into pieces under such
pressure. But you actually can withstand it for such a long time. | have to say that you are really outstanding,"
the old man remarked happily as he gave Austin a nod of approval. Apparently, he was quite satisfied with his performance, too.
By now, all three elders had tested Austin one after another, and all of them were pleased with his endurance and his power.
"I didn't expect that we would have such an excellent successor like you in the reincarnation race,"
one of the elders commented, looking very gratified.
"You guys did great, too. Each one of you is a rare young talent. Now that we have so many talented successors like you, it will be
much more hopeful for the reincarnation race to rise again in the future,"
another elder commended as he looked at the leader of the Reincarnation Palace, Tanya, and the rest of their group.
He knew that these young people were all successors of the reincarnation race. He had to give credit to others’ hard work, too,
since Austin was not the only successor their race had. After all, all of them did promising performances—it was right and just to
compliment them.
"Thank you, sir! Austin is the best and strongest among us all,"
Tanya humbly replied. Although she was grateful, she understood what the old man was trying to do by acknowledging them.
However, as a level-headed woman that she was, she did not feel jealous at all.
"That's right, sir.
Austin is the leader of our group.
Throughout the twe've been together, he guided us in our exploration in the Absolute Space Sea.
We can't deny that he is indeed better than us,"
the leader of the Reincarnation Palace chimed in.
"We agree.
Austin is indeed very powerful. I'm sincerely convinced,"
Diego remarked as well.
The others nodded in agreement.
These people had long been earnestly persuaded with Austin's leadership. They trusted him from the bottom of their hearts.
Austin was with them during their most trying times and thanks to his power and quick wit, they were able to escape tight
situations each time. A recent example would include their experience in the Ninth Floor, where he killed a myriad of
Bartholomew's warriors, which shocked the entire Absolute Space Sea.
"Ha-ha-ha!
This is good; having a great team spirit would serve you well.
You are all outstanding successors of the reincarnation race!"
another old man boomed before he laughed out loud. He was very delighted with the successors.
"And you, Old Lady Meng.
| didn't expect you to have left a remnant soul and stayed here,"
one of the elders stated, his gaze fixed upon Austin.
Then, with an outstretched hand, he swiftly grabbed Old Lady Meng in Austin's Soul Sea.
Immediately, Old Lady Meng was forced to cout and reappear.
"Yes, sirs. It's me. | did not expect to see you here. | am very happy to know that the Lords of Reincarnation are here,"
she said as she bowed to the three elders respectfully.
"What?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
They are the Lords of Reincarnation? | can't believe it!"
Austin and the others were both surprised and excited—all of their eyes visibly lit up. They could not believe what Old Lady Meng
addressed the elders.
The Lords of Reincarnation were the most powerful and the most revered personas of their race—they were legendary. Back then,
they led the members of the reincarnation race to dominate the entire Absolute Space Sea, which made their names known.
Everyone in the Absolute Space Sea was familiar with their reputation.
If the three old men in front of their eyes were really the three Lords of Reincarnation, then the strongest warriors of the
reincarnation race were still alive!
That meant one thing—the rise of the reincarnation race was getting more and more feasible!
"Old Lady Meng, on slevel, you are right, but there's something amiss,"
one of the elders despondently sighed.
Hearing the old man's words, Austin and the others halted in their tracks, unsure with the elder's statement.
"The three of us are just remnant souls.
Our real bodies have long disappeared.
Even we have no idea where they are or if they are still alive,"
the old man continued.
'What? How could that be?
These three elders are just remnant souls?!
They are so powerful!
Even without a physical body, their power is overwhelmingly strong!
Just imagine how powerful they could be if they were in their real bodies!"
Austin and the others had the sthought in their minds. All of them were too surprised to utter another word when they heard
this information.
Their mere remnant souls had the ability to defeat Austin. It was too just terrifying.
No wonder the three Lords of Reincarnation were able to lead their race to dominate the Absolute Space Sea and becthe
number one force. Their strength was simply terrifying enough to guarantee their success.
Austin, the chaotic sky-devouring beast, the leader of the Reincarnation Palace, and others all thought of this—the power the
reincarnation race held during its peak.
