The Supreme God of Martial Arts

There were too many skeletons around. If he wanted to so much as take a single step around this place, he would have to step on

them, or stay completely still. There was no third option.

But it wasn't all that bad; various kinds of magic treasures and weapons were also scattered everywhere on the ground. No, wait,

they were worthless now!

Too much thad gone by since the weapons had been taken care of. Now, they had lost their spiritual energy and rusted. They

were just worthless metal scraps and when he tried to pick one up, it turned into powder at his touch.

"This looks like an ancient battlefield!"

Brady, as ancient a man as he was, was still shocked by this horrific scene.

So many creatures had died here that the skeletons were scattered all over the ground. After so many years, the resentment of the

dead still didn't dissipate, turning into terrible evil energy and flooding over this area.

Thump, thump...

Just as Austin and Brady were gazing at the ancient battlefield around them in shock, a huge bang rang out from the very depths

of the palace, making their hearts skip several beats at once.

"Is someone still alive in here?"

Both Austin and Brady were shocked.

Thump... Thump...

Yet, the ssound echoed again, like a drum was beating hard far away from them. The strangest thing was that the sound was

incredibly dull, and somehow made their blood accelerate every time. It emanated a sort of pressure that could, somehow, put

pressure right on your blood vessels.

"I have a strange feeling that it sounds like the heartbeat of a powerful creature. Am | delusional or what?"

Austin remarked with surprise and doubt in his voice.

'If it really is the heartbeat of screature, then it must be scary and humongous in size!" he thought

Driven by curiosity, Austin and Brady began searching for the place where the sound seemed to be coming from. They were both

excited and afraid of what they would find.

After searching for an hour, they seemed to be getting close as the sound was much clearer now.

Austin released all of his physical strength to protect his heart.

And Brady also released ssort of secret technique to seal off his body from external interference.

Even so, each tthe two heard the thumping sound, their hearts still beat wildly in response. Whatever this thing was, it was

remarkable.

A moment later, they stopped dead in their tracks, shocked by the scene in front of them.

A five-colored sacrificial altar was floating in the air ahead of them, as if suspended by magic.

On the altar were nine tall stone pillars. Each of these pillars had metallic chains thicker than a bucket wrapped around it, with

each of them larger than an average cupboard.

These chains extended all the way to the center of the altar and had been used to lock up a pitch-black large heart.

It was easily as large as a house, and much scarier and gruesthan a ghost.

A tremendous amount of thick evil energy was lingering around it.

A giant heart trapped by nine huge chains! Now they had really seen all!

Both Austin and Brady were shocked by this scene and becspeechless.

As if that weren't enough, the altar was piled with thousands of skeletons, the pile of which had turned into a mountain. The bones

were of humans, beasts, demon races, birds, and whatnot!

Thump, thump, thump...

Somehow, even after being separated from its body, the heart was still alive and constantly beating.

"Ho, ho...

This is a sight for ages! Two little creatures broke in here. Interesting! Very interesting! Ho, ho..."

Just as Austin and Brady were trying to recover from their astonishment and disbelief, they suddenly heard a burst of weird

laughter emanating from the pitch-black heart.

"This heart is alive indeed!"

Austin and Brady exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Luckily, it seemed like the heart was completely locked up by the nine red chains around it and couldn't leave the altar, so the two

didn't turn around and run away.

"You two little guys, cup to the altar at once!"

The voice sounded again.

At the stime, a fierce wind, as malicious as a sharp, invisible blade, and as dangerous as the heart in front of them, suddenly

blew towards the duo.

Under Austin's command, his demonic avatar rushed out and stood in front of him, releasing a monstrous aura to block the wind.

"What?

You human brat, how did you cto possess so much evil energy? Who are you?

Answerright now, or | will kill you!"

The voice from the heart suddenly turned harsh, with endless killing intention in the very tone of speech.

"Humph! If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it already.

But you ugly dirty heart, are confined to the altar, and can't leave it at all. So, you are just bluffing!"

Austin answered grumpily.

"Shut up!

You little ants! How dare you behave so rudely in front of me!

| can very easily kill thousands of opponents like you!"

The huge pitch-black heart becfurious. Its voice had now turned into a furious roar.

"You know what? I'll kill you two right now! You'll be a lesson for the ages!"

The sound of the heart suddenly beccold and murderous.

The next moment, an abrupt whooshing sound rang out.

Pitch-black knives suddenly appeared in the air above the altar.

Each of them was exuding powerful spiritual sense pressure.

They somehow seemed to be made up of spiritual sense energy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The knives tore through space and cat Austin and Brady in a flash.

"Careful, master! The energy in the knives is too terrible!"

Brady warned Austin.

However, the latter was calm. Inside his Soul Sea, a rustling sound was heard. Then the leaves of the spiritual tree in his Soul Sea

began to fall from the branch, appearing in front of him somehow. They hovered like a shield and began cutting off the knives’

path.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

One by one, there were several violent collisions.

At the same, the leaves were also beginning to refine the spiritual energy contained in the knives.

"The spiritual tree!

Oh my God! You are only a human being and have somehow landed yourself a spiritual tree! Very well done indeed.

Seems like god is helpingtoday! I'll make a deal with you!

Send that spiritual tree up here immediately and | will spare your life!"

the heart roared with great joy.

"Hah! You wish! You can pretend all you like, but if you could kill me, why would you utter so much nonsense beforehand?

You would have taken the tree away immediately! Since you didn't, it means you can't.

Why should | send it to you?"

Austin sneered.

All at once, the heart becsilent.

Actually, what Austin said was true.

Although it screamed rather ferociously, and could extend a lot of pressure, it could not leave the altar since it was sealed to the

place.

Frankly, it knew of no way it could kill Austin.

"Alright, boy, if you givethat spiritual tree, I'll help you make a fortune.

| hid all of my plunder and treasures under the altar.

| can give you anything you want."

The heart tried to strike a bargain with Austin.

"Haha, you are so naive. The spiritual tree is invaluable. If you want smoney in exchange for my spiritual tree, you are just

daydreaming!"

Austin sneered.
