Chapter 1296 The Semi-emperor Realm
After Baldwin, Colin and the other masters left, Austin walked to Godwin''s side.
"Master!" he greeted, bowing down before the elder.
"You have created a lot of trouble, you brat!" Godwin responded with a smile.
Though heined, he didn''t sound like he was angry.
Austin shed an embarrassed smile at him.
"What?
Don''t tell me that Austin is your disciple, Godwin. Is he?" Julius and Peter eximed in shock.
They were gaping at the elder and the young man before them.
Godwin burst outughing.
"Yes. He is my disciple. Do you have any problem with that?" he questioned them.
"I was wondering why you came here to save this brat. Now it makes sense. I didn''t think that you''d be
his master.
Boy, if we knew you''re Godwin''s disciple, we wouldn''t havee here to get ourselves in trouble. We
came because we were worried that you might be killed by Baldwin,"
Julius shared his concerns.
"Thank you for your concern.
If you hadn''t made it here in time, I would have surely been in a lot of trouble.
And undeniably, you helped me out in the Nonuple Islesst time too. I owe you a lot," Austin
responded.
He bowed to Julius and Peter to express his gratitude.
He felt he was much obliged to the two elders.
''I had nothing to do with these two elders, but they came to my rescue more than once.
They even came here to stop Baldwin from hurting me, '' Austin thought.
"Hmm! You''re not an ungrateful boy,"
Peterplimented Austin.
"Would you mind telling us what''s going on between you and that demon who fought Baldwin?
I''m quite curious."
Julius told Austin what was on his mind.
Godwin and Peter too settled their inquisitive eyes on Austin.
Austin had put away that demonic avatar.
But Julius, Peter and Godwin had seen it already.
Besides, the news about Austin staying with a mysterious demon had spread about widely in a few
days.
"Technically speaking, the demon is dead. What you saw is only his corpse.
Yet, it is under my control and is not conscious anymore,"
Austin exined with a smile.
Cultivators always had their own secrets, and there was no need for them to share everything with
other people. So Austin had no n to tell them all about his adventure in detail. They knew what they
needed to know, and that was quite enough.
"Is that so?"
The three elders were amazed by Austin''s words.
By what they had seen, it was clear that the demonic avatar had terrifying power.
"Are you saying, you can manipte that spooky demon so easily?
Does it mean that it is your puppet?"
Peter asked as his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hmm, pretty much like that!"
Austin confirmed with a nod.
"Boy, you''re so lucky. If I were to fight that demon, I would lose terribly.
And you can control it!
Even if we hadn''te here, Baldwin wouldn''t have been able to hurt you,"
Julius said.
Godwin and Peter nodded in agreement.
The three elders didn''t ask any more questions about the demonic avatar.
Every cultivator had his special experiences and secrets.
Therefore, even masters preferred not to stick their noses into their disciples'' business all the time.

There were only a few things in which they intervened.
"What are you going to do with these people, boy?"
Godwin asked, pointing at the cultivators who were standing behind Austin.
"I n to build my own army and tackle the demon race,"
Austin replied candidly.
"Great! Though you''ve left the Southern Alliances Army, you can still contribute in the fight against the
demons.
All right then! I should return to the headquarters now.
Just go for it, my boy!" Godwin said.
With a wave of his hand, he was ready to leave.
"Please wait a moment, master.
Can you tell me what is Baldwin''s real cultivation base?
I have sensed that he is at the premium stage of Holy Realm, but I feel that he is more powerful than
the cultivators of that level,"
Austin blurted out, letting the others know about his doubt.
"He is at the Semi-emperor Realm.
It is a special realm.
He had reached the premium stage of Holy Realm for like two hundred years.
So, he is far stronger than other cultivators at the premium stage of Holy Realm. His real strength is
close to those at the Emperor Realm.
But he hasn''t reached the Emperor Realm yet.
So, he is at the Semi-emperor Realm,"
Godwin borated on it further.
His exnation helped to dispel Austin''s perplexity.
Austin had never heard about the Semi-emperor Realm earlier.
"The fact is that Baldwin hadn''t used his full strength when he thrust his sword at you.
I figured out that he disyed just eighty percent of his real strength,"
Godwin added.
Austin was quite surprised when he heard that.
''Well, that means Baldwin didn''t use his full strength when he tried to kill me.
If he hadunched an all-out attack on me, perhaps my demonic avatar would barely have been able to
withstand it It makes sense now.
Annihtor the Demon Emperor''s dead body is powerful because its formidable demonic energy is still
inside it.
But its biggest weakness is that it can''t exhibit any martial skills.
Besides, I''m still not that good at controlling it.
So, I can''t maximize its power, '' he reflected.
Austin spected that his demonic avatar could only disy about fifty percent of the power Annihtor
the Demon Emperor had before his death, while it was under his control.
He decided to learn more about the demonic skills and use the demonic avatar to fight for him.
He surmised that if he did so, then his demonic avatar would eventually be as powerful as Annihtor
the Demon Emperor used to be.
"We''ve got to go!" Godwin said to Austin.
He quickly left the Trinary Star City with Julius and Peter.
"What are we going to do, Commander Austin?"
rk inquired as he drew closer to Austin.
"We''ll carry out the n we had thought of.
Let''s go and take over the Crescent Kingdom.
Trinary Star City is no longer our stronghold. There is no need for us to stay here any longer.
Go and inform our men to pack up their things. We''ll head for that country in two hours,"
Austin shared his n after thinking seriously for a while.
"Copy that, sir!"
rk quickly left to pass on Austin''s order to the other cultivators.
Two hours had passed.
All the cultivators gathered above the Trinary Star City.
There were now about sixty thousand people, including the cultivators who just quit the Southern
Alliances Army, the people of the Heaven Pavilion Sect and the members of the evil shadow race.
Austin sent all of them into the City model except the queen after filling them with his n.
Then he got onto the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot with the queen. They headed towards the Crescent
Kingdom.
Austin had sent several strong members of the evil shadow race to the Crescent Kingdom earlier. They
had been sent to gather information.
They hade back with many details. So, he knew the current situation in the Crescent Kingdom.
After Austin and the people left, the Trinary Star City became an empty city.
But Austin had an intuition that the Southern Alliances Army would send a troop there to take over that
city soon.
