"Fall back! Get out of here right now!"
The order was bellowed at the troops of the Yaksha Palace and Sword Palace. They were all terrified to the core.
Their leaders knew that they had to retreat or else they could all get killed.
"Ha-ha! So now you're running from me? Do you think you can just do anything you want?"
Austin sneered.
At this moment, Austin's demonic avatar leaped forward to block the exit of the fleeing sect ancestor level cultivators. It towered before them like a gigantic devil from hell, preventing everybody from escaping.
All the top cultivators readied themselves for a fight.
"We will kill you, Devil Ancestor Thanos, even if it means it would cost our lives!" one of them shouted as he charged forward.
A mocking smile crossed the demonic avatar's face.
"Do you think you have any chances of killing me?"
When the demon spoke, it was actually Austin who was talking since this demon was only the corpse of Thanos controlled by Austin.
The demonic avatar stretched out its hands to create an endless black void in a form of a crack. Out from it rushed out a sea of corpses and skeletons piled up high as mountains. The entire area was filled with blood as they crawled out of the crack. One by one they arranged themselves like an army, ready to fight their enemies at command.
They only had to wait for one command. "Attack!"
Everyone from the Yaksha Palace and Sword Palace knew how terrifyingly invincible Devil Ancestor Thanos was. No one would be able to escape his wrath. But that didn't stop them from executing the most powerful martial arts skills they had and greeting his attacks head on.
In the end, their attempts were futile and they were all slaughtered by the demonic avatar.
"All the masters of the Yaksha Palace and Sword Palace are dead!"
"They are all powerful and legendary figures in their own rights, and yet they were killed easily. Is this true?"
Fear descended upon everyone who had witnessed the massacre.
The powers displayed by Austin and his demonic avatar were unbelievably dangerous.
Meanwhile, from hundreds of miles away, the leader of the Yaksha Palace sensed that something had gone wrong in the battle. His face distorted from extreme rage.
His face turned pale as if all blood was drained off him. His breath also shortened.
Austin had shattered his body several times in their recent battle. Up until now, a terrible power still kept consuming his body, threatening to destroy it.
"Austin, you bastard!
I swear I'll have my revenge and you'll never get any peace until then!"
He cursed, gritting his teeth in frustration.
He fell deep in thought for a moment, before reaching to a decision. He would ask the leaders of the Heavenly Palace, Star Island and Sky Phoenix Kingdom for their aid in dealing with Austin, once and for all.
"Austin now has the Taoist robe and it has granted him tremendous power of faith. As long as he is still inside the Celestial Palace, he will be undefeated.
In addition, Devil Ancestor Thanos has now joined him in his fight.
He won't be an easy man to kill."
After a while, the leader of the Yaksha Palace received their replies. None of them showed any inclinations of wanting to join forces to deal with Austin.
"Gentlemen, will you allow Austin to keep the Taoist robe? If you let the bastard get away with this, he can summon and take advantage of the power of faith. It will make him unstoppable then.
If that happens, who can defeat him? Nobody!
How can you let that little thief get away with this? Can you bear that he will dominate and rule our lands in the future?"
The leader of the Yaksha Palace was indignant, desperate to make them see sense.
"You misunderstood me.
Killing Austin while he is inside the Celestial Palace will be difficult for us.
We can only kill him after he leaves the palace.
I asked Mr. Campbell for advice.
