The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 730

Since the gnome was about to break through to a higher level, Austin knew he shouldn't be stingy or try to save crystals.

Compared to humans, it was much more difficult for demonic beasts and diabolic beasts to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, and that meant that they had to pay much more attention, effort and time on it. Of course, Austin wouldn't hesitate to show his support at such a critical moment.

Gritting his teeth, Austin took out almost half of the superior vital energy crystals he possessed, a number of elixirs, medicinal materials and even several pieces of divine vital energy crystals from the Space Ring, and sent them into the Illusion Bead.

"You can use as much as you need. If these are not enough, just let me know,"

Austin said. He seemed to be very generous with his actions. However, internally he was very reluctant, and he felt his heart bleeding.

Violet knew how he felt. She couldn't help but laugh in the Illusion Bead, covering her mouth with her hand so as not to offend him.

"Master, this city seems very bizarre, and the three castellans have already reached the Master Realm, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."

Since Violet could communicate with Austin telepathically, she could also read his mind and understand their current predicament.

"The four people in their discussion have just said that there is an invisible force that prevents people from reaching the edge of the city. This is the main reason why the cultivators are trapped in this city and can't leave.

I guess the city's edge is protected by some elaborate magical array or barrier.

Violet, you have an inborn ability and are good at using illusion, so you should be more sensitive to magic arrays as compared to the rest of us. When I finish cultivating by taking advantage of the souls, we can try to make a break at the city edge. Maybe we can break through the magical arrays.

It's a good opportunity for me to cultivate using the souls in the city."

After discussing with Violet, Austin continued to practice the Soul-transforming Skill and improve his Soul Sea.

Austin was focused and with the complete immersion of his body and mind and he slowly fell into the realm of cultivation and felt his body and mind unify. He entered a sort of trance and experienced a clarity of mind.

The dark and glittering spiritual sense chain in Austin's Soul Sea became thicker and longer, and the spiritual sense power it released was stronger. Wherever it went, the souls fled, shrieking in horror, like they had seen snakes and scorpions.

Some souls even tried to escape from the grey mist. However, the mist was like a yoke which suppressed them like an invisible force. They were trapped and they couldn't leave from the area covered by the mist.

Meanwhile, the range that the spiritual sense chain could reach was slowly expanding. In the beginning, when Austin had just started cultivating the Soul-transforming Skill, the spiritual sense chain could barely reach a distance of several dozen meters, so it was only able to bind the souls that were near him.

After several days of cultivation, Austin had absorbed a great deal of spiritual sense energy from the souls, and now his spiritual sense power had increased exponentially. Moreover, he had gained insightful knowledge about the Soul-transforming Skill and could use it more skillful. Thus, his skill power was much stronger than when he had earlier gotten there.

Obviously, Austin had gone beyond the elementary stage and reached a higher level in the Soul-transforming Skill cultivation, surpassing the beginning stage where he previously was.

The spiritual sense chain released from his Soul Sea had not only increased by five or six times in size but was also able to reach a distance of about 30 meters.

With continuous practice, the spiritual sense chain kept on increasing in both its size and the distance it could reach. The improvement sped up Austin's progress in extracting and purifying the souls.

One hour, two hours, more time passed…

Austin sat in the middle of the street, immersed in his cultivation, like an old monk in a trance.

From the outset, in the mist which covered the whole street, a number of souls rushed towards Austin one after the other. It seemed as if they wanted to rob Austin's flesh body.

However, as he extracted and purified more souls, the spiritual sense chain grew into a thickness bigger than an adult's arm and emanated more spiritual sense power which scared away most of the souls, especially since it was whistling and flying around Austin.

Eventually, all the souls screamed and fled. In their view, Austin had become the most ferocious demon. However, since the spiritual sense chain moved so fast, none of the souls within 30 meters around Austin were able to escape.

Whenever all the souls within 30 meters around him were extracted and purified, Austin simply moved to another place and continued the extracting and purifying process. No matter how hard they tried, the souls would be restrained and confined within the area covered by the grey mist.
