The Supreme God of Martial Arts

In the tchamber, Austin sat still and cross-legged.

He was focused on perfecting the Golden Sun Scripture.

Austin had been practicing this formula ever since he reached the level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

However, he still had not yet cultivated it to its full potential.

Enhancing the legendary Golden Sun Scripture was really an arduous journey for someone who was preparing to master it.

"I hope | can successfully break through and reach the sect ancestor level..."

Austin cleared his mind and started to meditate profoundly. He soon fell into a holistic state of trance.

Twent by as slow as molasses.

In a blink of an eye, decades had passed.

Although thirty years had gone inside the tchamber, only a day had moved onward in the outside world.

In the Celestial Palace, Austin had battled with the leader of the Sword Palace, the man in purple from the Divine Sect, and the

three martial arts masters from the underworld. All of them were considered dangerous, first-class warriors.

During Austin's encounters with these men, he used the power of faith, a special external force only known to some.

Although Austin didn't have the power with him now, he had obtained sufficient fighting skills from such aggressive engagements

with many people.

Badly wounding his opponents whom everyone regarded as forceful warriors had always fed his confidence for his fighting abilities.

Austin had a special perspective of the world that was akin to the masters' advanced points of view, which held him in good stead

during certain hostilities.

This was also advantageous to him in improving his cultivation base.

Meanwhile, Caroline, Ivy, Sue, Violet, the gnome, and the eight holy trees were waiting outside the tchamber.

They knew that Austin had made up his mind to strive for the breakthrough towards the sect ancestor level.

This was important to Austin, and to both the Immortal End World and the Immortal End Alliance.

At the stime, the Eight Stone Saints were also attempting to make headway in eight other secluded rooms.

These Eight Stone Saints had acquired a great amount of dragon essence, which would significantly help them for their own

breakthroughs.

Like Austin, every one of the Eight Stone Saints had reached the peak stage of Immortal Saint Realm.

They were one stretch away from attaining the sect ancestor level.

Similar to Austin, the Eight Stone Saints were also improving their vital energy quality in isolation in order to level up.

A century had gone by...

Boom! All of a sudden, a deafening noise reverberated out of nowhere.

At the stime, the interior of the tchamber had turned into a sea of golden fire. Blazing flames billowed like a wild beast,

spreading with desperate momentum.

In the middle of the sea of fire, a huge sun hovered like a magnanimous ball floating on the sea surface. It emitted terrifying and

sizzling hot streaks of fire!

Austin was already at one of the topmost levels at that time; by then, the nine sun-like golden balls representing the nine stages of

the Golden Sun Scripture had been integrated into one.

At last, only one golden ball was left. Condensing nine golden balls into one was the second part of cultivating the Golden Sun

Scripture.

Austin was now surrounded by burning golden flames indistinguishable from the god of fire.

Throughout the years, Austin had seen many times the opportunity of a breakthrough.

However, during such a critical moment, Austin felt anxious and uneasy. He started to feel overwhelmed with his own thoughts of

doubt.

The sect ancestor level was the highest across this entire universe.

In order to reach this level, one must set aside all the negative energy and train his thoughts, spirit, and body to its purest state.

Austin realized that to get to the sect ancestor level, perhaps the most important thing was to get rid of all the distractions that

plagued his mind and clear his head once and for all.

Another hundred years had passed...

Austin had not moved a muscle, and had still sat with his legs crossed at the ankles and his knees bent outwards.

In the tchamber, Austin was absorbed in nothingness. He had not thought and felt a trifle at all, like a state of emptiness had

dominated him completely.

However, Austin's mental pilgrimage was not without its troubles of the normal human mind. Sometimes, he was lost in various

fancies and conjectures. Recalling things from the past was a regular expenditure; at times, he felt melancholy filled his heart, and

other times he was ecstatic for no particular reason. Austin had experienced all the spectrum of human emotion during his

century-long meditation.

This was the first obstacle that Austin had to face to fully realize his breakthrough and reach the sect ancestor level. It was known

as the Internal Demon.

If Austin had neglected all of his feelings and sentiments, he would not had completed this stage at all. He would had been hurt

both psychologically and physically; in its worst case, Austin would had died with every bit of his cultivation gone with the wind.

The Internal Demon was intentionally meant for the cultivator to feel all his or her emotions, and not disregard every human

feeling by force.

Austin suddenly began to understand all his feelings at once. He was trying his best to overchis Internal Demon and dispel all

kinds of obsessive desires as much as possible. Austin knew he must let go all of his grievances and infatuations whether it was

fueled by impulse or passion.

Bang!

A loud clamor caused Austin's body to tremble intensely. A tremendous amount of energy brewed and seethed in his body. With a

resonant voice, he immediately shouted, "Extinguish the Internal Demon for the peace of my heart!"

At that very instant, all his obsessive sentiments were expelled from his mind. They transformed into dark shadows of terrifying

shapes and imprinted themselves in the void. For a while, the silhouettes circled around their former master as if they were

unwilling to leave him.

In the end, however, all the lurking shadows vanished and disappeared in the void.

Despite everything he had gone through, Austin still had not moved an inch. He was in absolute tranquility and hushed solitude.

Suddenly, a vital energy force in his body began to surge. It rose tically like a fast-paced gushing river.

All of the world's laws of order started to emerge and materialize without stopping. They clustered in circles around in the void and

shrouded Austin in the center.

"Be wary, Austin. You need to pass three tests in order to break through to the sect ancestor level. The first test is the Internal

Demon, which you have passed successfully.

The second test is the Ten Thousand Slaughter. This will be the judgment that the law of order between the heaven and earth

would impose upon you.

The final test will be known as the Thunderstroke Doom, during which various horror-stricken beasts made of thunder and lightning

would appear and attack you viciously.

All the three tests are indeed petrifying, with each one of them more horrific than the previous one. If you are able to go through all

of them, then you can reach the breakthrough.

However, if you fail, death will cknocking at your door without hesitation."

Austin suddenly heard those words from Corey and Faran in his Soul Sea.

They had once followed Peterson the Taoist Ancestor for a long time, so they knew a lot of things. Thus, they warned Austin of the

upcoming danger in which Austin would face eventually.

"l understand."

Austin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the warning.

However, he did not let it get into him, so he focused and continued his practice.

Without notice, the calm air began to stir all of a sudden.

Countless iron chains fell over from the sky in silence. They hung around Austin and tied him tightly. The next thing he knew, he

was swiftly lifted into the air.

Swoosh!

With a piercing noise, colorful lights burst out as if a bomb of fireworks had exploded. All the iron chains stiffened like sharp spears,

and instantaneously spiked through Austin's body.

Austin knew that the second trial had begun. Only those who possessed worthy talent and determination would be qualified to

undergo the so-called Ten Thousand Slaughter. Many cultivators who were not venerable enough would not had reached this stage

easily. They must be tested and tortured endlessly before reaching the sect ancestor level. Those who were not capable of

enduring such pain would not be able to survive this hellish test.

Blood had spurted and shoot out from Austin's body like a broken pipe. He felt the most burning and sharpest pain all throughout

his body, his mind, and even in his heart.

Austin let out a god-awful howl.

Then, he exercised all of his law power to summon numerous powerful chains of rule from inside his body. They reached for the

epic iron chains from the heaven and earth, and attacked them with brute force! In an instant, all the iron chains flung out.

Flames of golden light swept over the iron chains as well. Finally, they burnt and melted the chains without mercy.

The confrontation had lasted for a few months until all the iron chains were extinguished.

This meant that Austin had survived the second test.

Austin was quick on the trigger with the law power and had a profound cultivation base in this subject. Therefore, this knack gave

him an advantage in overcoming the months-long test.

Bang! Another chilling noise echoed from the dark.

Shortly after Austin had gone through the second test, a glaring lightning bolt flashed immediately between the heaven and earth.

A galaxy of gigantic thunderbolt suddenly dropped from the sky and rushed over to smash Austin!

The Thunderstroke Doom had begun!

The three tests were dreadful, and each one of them was more soul-crushing and macabre than the previous ones. However, the

final challenge was the most bloodcurdling one of them all.

If Austin survived the third and final test, he would reach a higher level and beca sect ancestor level cultivator in this

universe, one of the most powerful martial arts masters ever existed.

However, if he failed, he would perish from the face of the earth.

"Con! Lethave it! I'm ready for you!"

Austin raised his head and gazed upon the sky. Rumbling thunderbolts began to configure in the sky. His eyes were filled with a

strong and determined desire to fight!
