Chapter 2753 The Sword God Array
Both sides went all out as the battle raged. Neither side would let up on the ferocity of their attacks on
the other.
The white power of faith and the sword-light collided again and again with violent force, illuminating the
sky. The ensuing burst of energy was almost enough to break heaven and earth.
Finally, Austin was able to gain the upper hand with the tremendous might of his power of faith.
Austin''s fly whisk erged, until turning into a rod as thick as a mountain. He swung it heavily at the
leader of the Sword Pce. The violent strike crushed almost half of his body, with only a small part of
it remaining intact.
"Sword God Array!"
The leader of the Sword Pce managed to scream, through his pain.
On thismand, the forces of the Sword Pce assembled immediately, each person forming

mysterious patterns with their hand movements. With every pattern, their swords trembled and glowed
with light. Suddenly, each sword emitted a dazzling column of light, shooting up into the sky. The lights
sharpened and interwove to form the image of the Sword God.
The Sword God, made up of the tens of thousands of the sharpest sword-light, radiated power. He held
a gigantic sword in his hand, which he started swinging at Austin at lightning speed.
As this ensued, the leader of the Sword Pce turned into a ray of light and sped away into the
distance.
This was his n of escape: to deploy the Sword God Array to distract Austin and run away while the
Catching the retreat at the corner of his eye, Austin barked out a sarcasticugh. "That''s right.
Scamper away like a rat. That''s the only thing you''re good at!"
Austin called out wryly.
He was raring to give chase, but the Sword God was in his way. He had to deal with this little problem
first.
Austin felt no fear in the face of such a powerful array. He swung his fly whisk at the Sword God,
parrying the onught of its gigantic sword.
Their weapons collided with a deafening ng.
"That''s a pretty impressive array!"
Austin admitted begrudgingly.
After a few more evenly matched shes, Austin''s fly whisk was finally able to knock back the colossal
sword in the Sword God''s hand. He took this opportunity to rush forward and deliver a violent punch.
As his fist made contact, the image of the Sword God shattered instantly into pieces.
"Run!"
As the Sword God Array disintegrated, so did the fighting spirit of the Sword Pce troops. The forces
fell into immediate disarray, soldiers screaming in terror and scattering in various directions in panic.
"And you think I''ll let you go that easily?" Austin murmured at the sight, chuckling darkly.
He waved his fly whisk ruthlessly at the direction of the escaping mobs. The weapon shot a lethal burst
of energy in whatever direction it swung, ughtering everyone in its path.
The hateful grudge between the Immortal End World and the Sword Pce had grown so deep that it
never urred to Austin to show any mercy to these people.
"Austin, how did you be this powerful?"
Back at the pool, the Eight Stone Saints stared wide-eyed at Austin with awe and with some
trepidation, as if he were some kind of monster. Austin''stest disy of strength stunned them to the
core.
Austin exined to them the powers of the Taoist robe he was wearing.
"So that''s the secret. What an incredible weapon!"
the Eight Stone Saints said, gazing at the robe with admiration.
After this chat, the Eight Stone Saints took extreme care collecting the dragon essence in the pool
before walking out of the array deployed around it.
The array set up around the pool was one of special magic. Once activated, it barred entry to anyone
outside, but allowed those inside to exit with ease.
The Eight Stone Saints resumed their conversation with Austin as they walked out. "I have a feeling I''ll
have a breakthrough real soon.
I need to find a quiet environment in which to make it,"
Conor pronounced with an excited grin.
"We feel the same way!"
the other seven Stone Saints proimed.
"What, is that because of the dragon essence?
To think you just bathed in it for a short while, and now all of you are about to level up!"
Austin responded, amazed at the dragon essence''s effects.
Like Austin, the Eight Stone Saints were already at the peak stage of the Immortal Saint Realm in
strength.
Were they to make any further progress on their prowess, they would reach the sect ancestor level.
Austin decided to send the Eight Stone Saints to the ve Tower post-haste, so they could start
cultivating in a peaceful environment.
Exiting the stone cave, Austin wasted no time gathering all the warriors of the Immortal End Alliance
and those from the abyss demon race. He was nning to leave the Celestial Pce soon.
"Leader Austin, bad news!"
A powerful-looking warrior surrounded by hazy shadows of dragons and elephants was rushing over to
Austin, looking desperate.
Based on the shadows around him, Austin surmised he was a member of the hybrid titan race, one of
Damon''s underlings.
"Why, what happened?"
Austin asked warily, suddenly ovee by a feeling of foreboding.
"It appears our leader has been taken away!"
the man reported in an urgent tone.
Before Austin could reply, he spotted another shadow-cloaked person hurrying over.
It was an advanced cultivator from the evil shadow race.
"Master Austin, the Evil Shadow King has been captured!"
he shouted frantically to Austin as he came nearer.
"Alright, calm down. Tell me what happened..."
Austin felt his blood starting to run cold. If both Damon and the Evil Shadow King had been captured,
he was certain it was all because of him.
Suddenly, the air in the horizon started to stir.
From it, a ray of ck light shot toward Austin like dark lightning.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin determined it was a jade slip in flight.
Austin waved his arm, releasing a forceful stream of vital energy. It froze the jade slip and activated it in
midair.
The jade slip shattered, releasing an immense aura of death that started to cascade down in clouds.
The clouds condensed into a human-shaped ck shadow. For a moment, the face of the figure was
unclear, shrouded in darkness.
"People from the underworld!"
Austin eximed as recognition finally dawned on him.
It was one of the two advanced cultivators from the underworld.
"Greetings, Austin. I havee to inform you that both Damon and the Evil Shadow King are in our
custody.
If you want to save them, bring us the Taoist robe that can gather the power of faith and the eight
chaotic immortal trees. You can exchange them for your friends.
Otherwise, the next time you see them, we will have turned them into our minions. They will serve us
and die for the glory of the underworld,"
the ck-robed messenger pronounced, in a cold voice.
With thest word, the figure burst back into clouds of deathly aura, which soon dissipated.
Austin didn''t bother to give chase. He knew the figure was just a cloud of spiritual energy sent to deliver
a message.
"Damn it!"
Austin gritted his teeth, his eyes shing with murderous rage.
Austin regarded both Damon and the Evil Shadow King with utmost importance.
Both of them were great masters at the sect ancestor level, and were staunch protectors of the
Immortal End World.
Austin knew he was especially bound by loyalty and duty to save them; especially the Evil Shadow
King, who was his father-inw.
In that moment, Austin decided to assemble the people of the Evil Shadow World and the Ancient
Celestial World, keeping them close.
Without the leadership of the Evil Shadow King and of Damon, their people might be targeted by
malicious opportunistic forces. Austin vowed to protect these people to the best of his abilities.
"We''ll discuss this after our departure. Gather everyone and prepare to leave."
Austin waved his hand and gave the order, leading the troops to the entrance of the Celestial Pce.
None of them could have expected what happened next.
"Time to send all the outsiders away,"
the spiritual soul mark of Peterson the Taoist Ancestor in the majestic underground pce murmured to
himself.
His hands moved, drawing a mysterious pattern in front of him beforeunching it away.
Suddenly, the entire expanse of the Celestial Pce started shaking violently.
The skies and the ground swayed. The people caught in the temblor felt like the entire world was
spinning around them. Then one after another, they started disappearing into thin air, teleported away.
The next moment, everyone found themselves already standing outside the gates of the Celestial
Pce.
