Austin's spiritual sense slowly crept towards the statue of the Sword Emperor which was right in front of him.
But the very instant that his spiritual sense touched the statue, he felt a strange magical energy fluctuation which rippled around the statue.
And then suddenly, thousands of colorful lights burst from the statue. They were like fireworks, both beautiful and magnificent. The entire statue was enveloped by the bright lights as if they were dancing all over it. They might look pretty, but each ray was in fact a thin streak of sword aura. These streaks were closely intertwined and created a brilliant light screen!
Austin then felt that his spiritual sense was scattered by the colorful sword aura streaks like dust in the air. And he was unable to gather them together again as if the particles' movements were restricted.
Despite of this, Austin was not worried at all. He felt that the streaks of sword aura were not a threat towards his spiritual sense.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that his spiritual sense was quite powerful. If he had been any other weak cultivator, his spiritual soul would have been destroyed the very moment his spiritual sense came into contact with the streaks of sword aura.
Although Austin had some confidence with his abilities which helped him survive the ordeal, he was still frightened and shocked by the streaks of sword aura dancing about.
He intently studied the screen created by the thousands of streaks of sword aura which cloaked the entire statue. After making sure that the streaks of thin sword aura were harmless towards his spiritual sense, he then released it once more and carefully inched closer towards the statue.
And this time, Austin made sure to increase the power of his spiritual sense as compared to the first one he released.
After a few seconds, his spiritual sense finally broke through the screen made up of the streaks of sword aura, and successfully infiltrated the statue.
But out of the blue something unexpected happened!
As soon as his spiritual sense penetrated the inner layer of the statue, a colorful flash dashed against his spiritual sense and was heading straight towards his mind in an unprecedented speed. It was obviously after his Soul Sea.
He was momentarily shocked and a wave of fear hit him hard, but he persistently gathered all his spiritual sense in a blink of an eye in his Soul Sea and formed a thick barricade in order to block the colorful flash from entering further.
But sadly, his effort was in vain.
The colorful flash broke through his Soul Sea as if his barricade was nothing but a piece of paper which was easily torn apart. It wasn't even enough to slow it down for a few minutes.
Numerous streaks of sword aura began flooding in his Soul Sea. He clearly felt his spiritual soul suffering wave after wave of slight prickles. It was a torturous feeling akin to being pricked by thousands of sharp needles over and over again.
He had previously compressed two streaks of Spiritual Sword Aura in his spiritual sense after he practiced the Flame Swordsmanship. Those two streaks of Spiritual Sword Aura were converted into two shiny sharp swords which were as white as snow, and had stayed in his Soul Sea ever since.
But amidst the ongoing onslaught, the two snow-white swords were nowhere in sight. They were actually whining and cowering, as they stayed hidden in the corner. It seemed like the intruder was too powerful for them to handle, which explained why they were having cold feet.
Suddenly, the colorful flash transformed into a tiny man. He was no bigger than a man's thumb. Austin just then recognized the man. He was none other than the Sword Emperor himself. He had already passed away, but a shred of his spiritual sense remained because of his power and will, which then changed into a tiny version of himself!
