The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 489

Gathering before the palace, the young cultivators sent by royalty seemed to be discussing something.

"Austin, what are they waiting for? Why don't they just get in there?"

Maria whispered to Austin out of curiosity after watching them for a while. To avoid prying eyes, Maria stood too close to Austin while she talked. Her breath smelled as fresh as orchids, causing a pleasant feeling to ripple over Austin's body.

"The palace is surrounded by a special array. Look carefully and you will see the faint layer of an energy ray," Austin replied to her in a low voice.

Once they had reached the top of the mountain, Austin sensed that the palace was safeguarded with a special and secure cover, probably due to some kind of a protection array.

Cautiously approaching it, Austin judged that the protection array was a mysterious one with a profoundly long history. However, as time passed, its power had gradually decreased. Now, probably only ten percent of it was left.

Even so, destroying the protection array was not so straightforward.

Austin explained this to Maria.

Dewey, Iris and Anna were right beside them, listening to the conversation, so they got to understand the dilemma as well.

They turned to the palace and perceived a very thin layer of energy ray encircling it.

Also blocked by the array, the group of young men was trying to work out a plan.

After some moments of deliberation, they started to move. It seemed that they wanted to break into the array straightaway, using sheer force.

The young man in front was the first to take action. Dressed in a golden robe, his long hair was spread out across his shoulder. Suddenly, beams of golden light appeared around his feed, gathering into the shape of a spear.

He stamped his foot and the spear started to tremble violently. Shafts of brilliant golden light speedily merged together on the point of the spear. Within seconds, the spear had grown to an enormous size—to about forty meters—before it dashed out like lightning.

Zing!

The spear blasted its way to the protection array.

Austin was stunned by the formidable attack.

'His vital energy force is ruthless!

Is he at the Sky Realm? He certainly could be!"

Austin was stupefied and thought to himself. He didn't expect the young man to belong to the Sky Realm.

Dewey, Maria, Iris and Anna were all at the Earth Realm. With limited cultivation bases, they could feel the extraordinarily strong motion of the vital energy force, but they couldn't tell the specific base of the young man in the golden robe.

As Austin stood rooted to the ground in surprise, the spear composed of the violent vital energy force collided against the cover around the palace, causing ripples on its surface.

Nevertheless, thin as the layer looked, it was surprisingly solid—something Austin had not expected.

Except for a slight tremble, the cover remained solid as ever as it weathered the attack of the Sky Realm cultivator.

After a while, another young man wearing light yellow robes joined his companion.

He looked to be calm and tranquil, his hands folded behind him.

Gradually, waves of blue vital energy molded together above him before they attacked the protection array around the palace consecutively. As they darted ahead, the blue waves pierced through the sky and exploded over the land.

Boom!

The blue waves of vital energy pounded the cover repeatedly and all of a sudden, the ripples on the surface spread and expanded. Its golden light started to dim.

Austin was awestruck once again. This young man was also at the Sky Realm!

Unbelievable!

The realization that the two cultivators were at the Sky Realm had taken him aback. With a serious expression on the face, he pondered over the course of action before him even as his hands clenched into tight fists.

The situation was rapidly going out of his control.

After learning of the existence of the Emperor Library from Angus, he thought he was the only one who knew of its secret.

In his mind, he just needed to get inside the palace and search for a few of the high-level skill manuals.

However, in the wake of arriving to the Mysterious Nether World, he realized that the young cultivators sent over by the royalty were all too aware of the secret as well.

Even so, Austin didn't consider them to be a threat. It was acceptable to him if they wanted to fight for a share of the treasure.

But now, he had found out that there were two cultivators at the Sky Realm among the lot.

It made the situation a lot more unpredictable.

Considering that Austin had defeated several cultivators of the royalty, the two cultivators at the Sky Realm would certainly trouble Austin once they figured out that he was in their vicinity.

Austin was confident in his skills and experience in fighting. Even rivals at the premium stage of the Mysterious Realm were of no concern to him.

However, faced with two masters of the Sky Realm, the odds were not in his favor.
