"You eight holy trees?"
Austin shook his head.
The eight holy trees might be powerful, but they were still no match for cultivators such as the leader of the Sword Palace and the leader of the Yaksha Palace.
After all, they were the top masters of this universe.
"Trust us, young man.
We eight brothers will protect you from harm so you don't have to worry."
Sherman was obviously trying to reassure him. It could sense that Austin was worried.
Austin pursed his lips and said nothing.
It seemed like Sherman was exactly like the supreme holy tree who always bragged.
The ship continued to sail across the sea of stars, heading towards the other side of it.
"It is said that the sea of stars came from nine drops of Celestial Star Water."
Austin looked out at the vast sea before them. He marveled.
All things in the world had their own magic. Even nine drops of Celestial Star Water could turn into a vast ocean.
"The Celestial Star Water is indeed a grand sight to behold!" the supreme holy tree exclaimed.
It climbed down to the side of the ship to admire the water below. Unknowingly, its mouth was drooling.
Austin approached the supreme holy tree and asked, "What's so special about the Celestial Star Water?"
"That would be a long story to tell. But it's enough to say that it has a lot of wonderful properties.
Just know that one drop of the Celestial Star Water is as heavy as a thousand stars.
If there are nine drops in this sea, then that means the sea weighs the same as nine thousand stars.
You can imagine how much power it contains and how dangerous one's attack could be if he refines it."
The supreme holy tree looked serious as it said this.
"I see what you mean.
And you are right."
Austin nodded his head in agreement.
It was known that a star was equivalent to a world.
This meant that one drop of the Celestial Star Water also weighed a thousand worlds!
How terribly heavy it must be.
Even sect ancestors wouldn't be able to stand against it.
If Austin were to collect all nine drops of the Celestial Star Water from the sea of stars, refine them and melt them into his palms, he might be able to destroy a universe with just one punch.
Austin's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Don't even think about it, boy.
The old bastard had created this sea. How can you even think of taking some of it for yourself with your pathetic strength?
If it could be done so easily, I would have done it long ago."
The supreme holy tree frowned.
Just then, they heard a voice crying out.
"Argh! Run away quickly!"
Screams rang out around them. A few boats were already turning the tail and retreating.
A giant head that seemed to reach a height of a thousand meters was chasing them with murderous intent.
It moved so fast that it caught up with the ships in just a blink of an eye.
"Let's all join forces and smash this head!"
a master on one of the ships shouted.
Together, everyone began hurling different attacks at the head.
But they didn't expect it to open its mouth and swallow all their attacks in just one gulp. Its red tongue sprang out as quick as lightning to wrap around a ship, pulled it back into its mouth and ate it.
This frightened the remaining people on the ships so they decided to flee as fast as they could.
But in the end, the head still caught them and gobbled them all up.
The sight sent shivers down Austin's spine. He immediately steered the boat in a different direction to avoid the carnage up ahead.
"We shouldn't run away! We must sail ahead and face it!"
Sherman said to Austin.
"What? Are you serious?!
That head looks scary, and I doubt that we can actually defeat it!"
Austin protested.
"Why should we fight it?
