The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1228

"Rumble!"

Austin glanced at the grey cocoon when he heard the thunder.

Thick, dark grey clouds with ragged edges glimmered a brilliant silver as several colossal thunderbolts fell from the sky. As the lightning settled, darkness extended over tens of thousands of miles.

The sky lit up again as more lightning descended from the heavens. Austin's forehead furrowed with concern as the number of lightning bolts increased from a few to several, to dozens and then tens of hundreds. They tore through the heaven and earth as they hurtled toward the grey cocoon.

At the same time, the grey cocoon exuded enormous amounts of evil energy that swiftly rose toward the sky to counter the thunderbolts.

The roaring and swirling dense evil energy split the falling thunderbolts.

"The Thunderstroke Doom has finally started!"

Austin was excited when he saw the Thunderstroke Doom, a form of the trial of heaven and earth that cultivators who intended to reach the Primal Holy Realm and beyond were bound to withstand.

"Rumble!"

Next, blazing silver bolts of lightning cascaded like heavy rainfall in such a wild and destructive way that it seemed to ruin everything in this world.

One after another, lofty peaks on the vast mountain range below the thunderbolts crumbled into stone and dust.

The dense ancient forest ignited, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an endless sea of fire.

Austin's eyes widened when he witnessed the destructive power of the Thunderstroke Doom. Anxious, he glanced at the grey cocoon. A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he saw that it was still hovering mid-air and enduring the lightning barrage.

The terrifying grey evil energy, visible to the naked eye, transformed into endless grey mist and surrounded the grey cocoon.

"The queen will withstand the Thunderstroke Doom, right?"

Austin asked Priest Callum through his spiritual sense as he continued to stare at the grey cocoon. Watching the grey cocoon levitate precariously in the sea of thunderbolts, chilled Austin to the bone.

"Ha-ha. Please don't worry about it. The queen is recovering her real power. She has overcome a similar Thunderstroke Doom before. I am sure that she will endure this time as well.

As long as no one disturbs her, everything will be fine,"

Priest Callum calmly replied to Austin through his spiritual sense.

"So it is."

Relief filled Austin after he heard Priest Callum's explanation.

Just as the queen was breaking through the Thunderstroke Doom, Austin's adversaries returned to Heavenly Emperor City.

Disheartened, six strong cultivators at the Primal Holy Realm led the troops sent by the powerful sects and clans back to the midtown area of Heavenly Emperor City.

Every cultivator was filled with a sense of dismay.

They were rather reluctant to accept the result of the combat today.

Twelve strong cultivators at the Primal Holy Realm, dozens of cultivators at the Heaven Realm, and four to five thousand cultivators of average abilities failed to vanquish Austin. It was beyond their expectation that he would kill so many of their comrades.

If the news of their defeat spread, Austin would become a sensation in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, and perhaps, even in the whole South Continent of the Prime Martial World.

As for the defeated cultivators, they were bound to be the laughing stock of the whole Prime Martial World. The thought that their failure would pave the way for Austin's fame, which filled them with a sense of embarrassment and humiliation.

"Return to your bases. Report today's combat result to your headquarters and wait for further orders,"

a cultivator at the premium stage of Primal Holy Realm said in low spirits to the crowd. Then he exerted his bodily movement skill and headed for the base of his sect.

The other cultivators remained silent as they moved toward their sect bases or clan bases in Heavenly Emperor City.

Meanwhile, an overwhelmingly awe-inspiring aura surged in the horizon in the northern part of the city.

In the blink of an eye, flying human shadows that exuded tremendous vital energy force arrived in Heavenly Emperor City.

"Attention, everybody! That bastard, Austin, is right here in Heavenly Emperor City.

Blockade the city right away! Search everywhere for Austin and arrest him as soon as possible!"

A voice fell from the sky like fierce thunderbolts being discharged from the Nine Heavens. The whole city shuddered under the deafening sound.

A few prominent cultivators arrived in the city with a sudden "whoosh".

These cultivators spread in all directions across the city. As they hovered in the sky, their daunting aura shrouded the entire Heavenly Emperor City.

However, an odd silence followed their command.

Surprisingly, all other cultivators across Heavenly Emperor City glanced at the sky speechlessly.

No one spoke.

Deathly silence encased the whole city. If a needle had been dropped in that moment, the sound would have echoed throughout Heavenly Emperor City.

A few cultivators, who stood on the ground, tried very hard to suppress their laughter.
