Chapter 4389 The Coffin


    "What? Enter the ancestral coffin?!"


    The other governing gods of the Xi''men n were shocked at hearing the suggestion. It seemed like a


    drastic measure.


    In fact, the ancestral coffin was such a revered and powerful artifact that only the senior members of


    the Xi''men n knew about its existence.


    "That''s right.


    Look, who are we kidding? Everyone here knows that we are no match for Austin, at least for the time


    being. If we continue fighting like this, we''ll only lose more battles and more people.


    I have a feeling that it would be better for us to retreat for now.


    We must stay alive for now. As for our revenge, we''ll always have a chance to do that once we be


    strong enough, but only if we survive today.


    The Xi''men n is not strong enough to defeat Austin yet.


    We must unite with the other forces, and might even need the de Cosmos on our side,"


    the leader said in a thoughtful voice.


    A few moments earlier, he had been so furious that he wanted to kill Austin at first nce.


    However, he''d calmed down now, which was giving him a clearer perspective of their situation.


    He was well aware of the situation they were trapped in.


    Austin''s disy of strength had been terrifying.


    The entire Xi''men n was no match for him at all.


    If they continued to fight, they would only bring death and disgrace upon their n.


    The leader''s first priority at the moment was to prevent the Xi''men n from total destruction at the


    hands of Austin.


    "I agree with you, leader.


    Facing Austin is a frightening prospect. We don''t stand a chance of winning him, at least not at the


    moment.


    There is no point fighting him if it means giving all our lives needlessly.


    We should preserve the strength and members of our n first. That should always be the priority!"


    A reclusive elder nodded in agreement.


    "If that is the case, I am in too."


    Several other senior members agreed as well.


    Then, the leader gave a telepathic order.


    "Gather the main members of the n. Get ready to enter the ancestral coffin!"


    Then he added in a warning tone, "Move together!


    We can''t afford a chance for Austin to attack any of us in seclusion!"


    It was true. Someone moving all by himself would be a prime target. They needed to stay together right


    now.


    As soon as the order was given, the eight governing gods of the Xi''men n formed a battle formation


    to protect each other as they proceeded towards their destination. Together, they retreated slowly.


    "Oh?


    Now you''re all trying to escape? Hah!"


    Austin sneered.


    "That''s enough, Austin! You''ve gone far enough already!"


    one of the governing gods roared in an aggrieved tone.


    Hearing Austin say that they were running away was a shameful prospect.


    Such an allegation was a huge insult to the entire n.


    They almost couldn''t bear the insult.


    "Hold your anger! We can''t afford a continued fight,"


    the leader gravely reminded him.


    The senior members of the n knew that their situation was rather glum. Being forced to retreat and


    then being called out on that was shameful to say the least.


    However, they had no options but to endure this added insulting injury.


    Gradually, the senior members of the n left gloomily, forced to defend itself from time to time.


    Outside, the army of the Xi''men n also gathered quickly. Austin then noticed that they were headed


    for a part of space where the chaotic mist was surging violently.


    The eight governing gods of the Xi''men n had surrounded the army and were leading it to that


    direction.


    "What the hell?"


    Austin was a little surprised when he noticed the strange phenomenon. He released his spiritual sense


    to check their intended location.


    His shock and surprise knew no bounds when he discovered that his spiritual sense was unable to


    perceive the space and time at that spot.


    There was a strangew in the chaotic mist over there which prevented anyone from sensing its


    details.


    Austin''s spiritual sense had grown extremely powerful over the years.


    It wouldn''t be wrong to say that it was a stronger sense than most ordinary governing gods had.


    But even with such a powerful spiritual sense, he was unable to detect what was going on inside that


    mist.


    Not only that, but Austin also noticed that there was a frightening energy fluctuation in that strange


    space.


    It looked like something deeply terrible and powerful was hidden inside it.

    ''Is there a more powerful master in the Xi''men n who hasn''t shown up yet?''


    Austin wondered to himself. He had to admit that he was a little frightened when he looked at that


    undetectable ce.


    The Xi''men n''s reputation as one of the oldest and most ancient ns in history was truly earned. In


    addition to its variety of experience, there were several governing gods in its ranks. This meant that


    they were incredibly powerful. So, Austin was slightly scared when he thought there was a more


    powerful master yet to arrive.


    However, his fears were waid. Soon, the eight governing gods of the Xi''men n led their main


    force into that strange space.


    Austin didn''t ughter them along the way.


    Although the job would have been incredibly easy, he decided against it.


    After all, he was not a bloodthirsty monster.


    "Well, I''d like to see if there is really a terrible master in this n who''s yet to show up!"


    Austin had always been brave. Determined, he activated his bodily movement skill and headed for the


    strange space as well.


    By that time, the senior members of the Xi''men n had already retreated inside along with the main


    forces.


    "Austin, you bastard! You keep up your shenanigans no matter what, don''t you?


    This is unforgivable!


    Just wait and see! We''ll be back for our revenge!"


    the leader of the Xi''men n roared through gritted teeth.


    "Cool. I''ll wait for you. Come and fight me when you have the courage!"


    Austin replied in a domineering manner.


    He was close to catching up with the n now.


    "Come on! You want revenge? Then why don''t youe and get it?"


    Austin sneered and taunted them further.


    Boom!


    The moment he set foot into the strange space, he released the great cosmos force in his body to


    ensure his safety. An intense pressure burst into the sky and the space shook slightly.


    "You know what? Even if you want to escape today, I am not going to let you! Your task won''t be so


    easy with me on your tail!"


    Austin''s voice was filled with arrogance.


    "Ha-ha, Austin! You can''ty a finger on us today!"


    The leaderughed wildly. Austin was surprised when he heard that.


    Just now, the entire n had been retreating.


    But after entering this space, the leader had suddenly be so confident!


    "Oh?"


    Austin grew vignt when he sensed this sudden change in the leader''s demeanor.


    "Enter the coffin!"


    the leader shouted to his men.


    Following his order, the people of the Xi''men n stepped backwards simultaneously.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The strange space began to shake violently.


    "No way! You aren''t escaping today!"


    Austin shouted and took a step forward, shing out with his long sword. Hundreds of millions of bright


    sword radiances shot forward like a peacock opening its feathers.


    Each of these sword radiances was powerful enough to cut through the universe and block space-time


    continuum.


    Themon people of the Xi''men n were scared out of their wits when they saw the iing


    attack.


    They knew that except for the eight governing gods, no one else could withstand Austin''s attacks.


    Arge number of people were going to die within seconds.


    As they closed their eyes in anticipation of the doom toe, there was arge explosion and the void


    began to shake.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A huge coffin lid appeared behind them.


    It was engraved with dense and mysterious textures and emitting a terrifying pressure.


    Every second, it was releasing mysterious runes into the air.


    ng! ng! ng!


    The lid blocked every single streak of sword-light Austin had released, and a series of clear metallic


    sounds burst out.


    Austin was even more surprised to discover that the lid remained a hundred percent intact after


    defending against his sword-lights.


    "That''s awesome!


    What the hell is that?"


    Austin was a little confused when he saw this.


    "Alright, let''s try it again!"


    Determined, Austin waved his long sword and shed at the lid again.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    This time, he also added the horrifying great cosmos force to the long sword attack which made it


    incredibly bright, as if it had been ignited.


    Like a vast sea, the sword radiance drowned the strange space in dazzling brilliance.


    Space and time were torn apart as the attack continued toe.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The lid of the coffin spun around rapidly and blocked the attacks once again.


    ng! ng! ng!


    There was a series of metallic ngs as the lid stopped spinning and all of Austin''s sword radiances


    were dissipated.


    By that time, the people of the Xi''men n had already disappeared into the chaotic mist.


    "What?


    What was that?"


    Austin activated his omnipotent vision skill and investigated the chaotic mist in front of him. He then


    saw was a huge shadow.
