Chapter 1324 What A Cultivation Frenzy! (Part One)
Austin was now caught in a bitter fight with a human-shaped figure formed by the powerful sword aura
in the corridor.
The figure was in top shape, almost exceeding level ten sword potential. It could release a sword aura
that was far more powerful than any of its kind that Austin had encountered before.
Austin was nearly pinned to the ground as he kept retreating to regain his bnce and avoid the
figure''s relentless attacks. He deflected strikes from above, evaded lunges, and parried wide swings
from the opponent. Nevertheless, the figure continued its assault on Austin and eventuallynded a hit
on Austin''s side.
Streams of blood spurted out from his body, leaving a trail of crimson marks sttered on the ground.
His body had been riddled with wounds that caused his blood to leak out like a punctured water pouch
whose holes were delivered by the enemy''s needle-like precision with a sword.
Luckily, Austin brought enough Magic Sea Water. He would drink a bit of the healing elixir every chance
he got, and all the wounds inflicted by the enemy slowly started to heal once they bled out.
With the help of the healing elixir, Austin held his ground for another two hours. Then suddenly,
something happened midway into the battle.
He felt that his aura was changing—growing; his depleted mana had restored, and his eyes glimmered.
He knew what was going on with his body. "Does this mean that I''ve reached...the sword domain?"
Once he realized it, he saw that it was now his sword aura that flooded the corridor. His densely
packed stream of misty sword aura was evolving into a peculiar shape right at the moment. As he felt
with his heart, he discovered that his sword aura was now operating ording to thews of heaven
and nature, and even thew of time and space.
His sword aura was more refined. Although Austin couldn''t name it, he was sure that they were forming
a strong domain along some mysterious track. In fact, the domain they created had covered over ten
miles already, and all the space within it seemed to be totally under its control.
Some part of him knew that he didn''t need to move his own body to deliver attacks within his domain.
He calmed his mind and imagined the image of a hundred swords; numerous sharp and quick sword
auras were generated and crushed anything and everything within the domain in a matter of seconds.
Austin was sure that he had leveled up to the sword domain. "This is definitely going to leave the sword
potential in the dust," he couldn''t help but exim.
He focused his mind on feeling the domain his sword aura had sessfully created. It was like he was
controlling it in seamless harmony, and he had ventured into a whole new world.
Snap!
Just then, he heard a low thud in the corridor.
He looked down, and saw something lying on the ground beside him.
It was his reward. Austin wondered what it could be.
Now that he had defeated the figure formed by sword aura, he turned his attention to the object in front
of him.
It was a shiny bronze badge.
There were some long and thin shes on it. When Austin inspected it further, he realized that those
were images of some needle-like swords.
To find out more about it, he unleashed a surge of gentle vital energy force and carefully picked it up.
The moment his hand touched the badge, a piece of information about this treasure appeared in his
Soul Sea.
It turned out that this was a defensive magic treasure, whose name was Sword-aura Fortress.
This magic treasure was strong enough to protect its user from any Holy Realm masters'' attacks, and
even a full force strike from a warrior at premium stage of Holy Realm.
But sadly, it could only protect its user for ten instances.
After that, it would be an ordinary badge. A very typical consumable treasure indeed. This meant
that Austin had no choice but to use it sparingly.
Nheless, this proved to be a fruitful trial, so he couldn''t expect more. He stashed the badge into his
Space Ring, and walked out of the Trialing Corridor for the level ten sword potential.
Whoosh! With everyone outside watching, Austin got back to the mountain wall outside the corridor,
looking very satisfied and rxed.
"You''ve got to be kidding me!"
Austin was weed with doubt and shock. Baldwin and the two demon semi-emperors all stared at
him in bewilderment.
''Don''t tell me that this suckling has reached the sword domain!'' Austin couldn''t read minds, but he
knew that it was exactly what everyone was thinking.
Austin was no mere child, albeit he was just a little over twenty years of age; butpared to all the
masters in the area, it was as if he was a kid in their eyes.
Yet he became the first one of them to have sessfully passed the trial, and leveled up to the sword
domain that everyone so deeply desired.
This was rather hard to swallow for them, and would be beyond any sane person''s belief. They bet that
others would think they''ve made up the whole story.
In particr, Baldwin had reacted violently. After all, he had been a noted sword master at the level ten
sword potential for hundreds of years, during which he ceased to make any progress no matter how
much effort he had put into training.
But now, he was told that a young boy, who was much less experienced than himself, had gained what
he longed for. Baldwin was devastated, there was no way to exin what happened.

Of course, none of them knew that Austin had the help of the Sword Emperor''s life''s understanding and
achievements on swordsmanship, which was already stored in Austin''s Soul Sea when he found the
legacy of the Sword Emperor. Besides, the Magic Sea Water had ensured his quick recovery and
sustained his life, enabling him to keep fighting all the way through the end of the corridor without
fearing for his life. That was the reason he could fight at his best.
