Chapter 2895 Yield Your Spiritual Soul Orb
Who else would it be if not the leader of the Heavenly Pce?
"Greetings," Austin said tly.
"How are you doing this fine day?"
"I''m doing quite well," the leader of the Heavenly Pce the reply in an even, careful tone.
"I thank you for your concern.
I do wonder, however, what brings you here?"
His bow was low and humble. He was obviously trying to earn favor.
He might be a renowned cultivator, but he was fully aware that Austin had already surpassed him both
in strength and reputation.
He knew that his reign was over, and Austin had effectively taken his ce.
"Now," Austin began, casting a meaningful nce at the elder man.
"You have been keeping a rather low profile recently.
I haven''t even had the honor or the opportunity to meet you in person."
"Leader Austin, I understand what you are saying.
As a matter of fact, it was my intention to go to the Immortal End World to offer apologies and pay my
respects.
I hesitated on ount of the numerous offenses I havemitted. I was afraid that I will not be
pardoned.
But now that you are here before me, I will no longer avoid the acknowledgment of my transgressions.
Please forgive me, Leader Austin, and grant me punishment as you deem fit."
The leader of the Heavenly Pce knew the true purpose of this visit.
They had faced each other many times in the past.
He knew that Austin would not let him go easily.
As the young man grew in strength and power, many top masters who had altercations with him had
chosen toy low. The leader of the Heavenly Pce was among them.
They remained in their own headquarters and refused to make appearances in public.
They recognized the fact that Austin had be the ruler of the universe, and there was no changing
that.
They also knew the grim reality that Austin would one daye and get even with them one by one.
As a result, the top masters, including the leader of the Heavenly Pce, owner of the Star Ind and
the emperor of the Sky Phoenix Kingdom, were living their livesden with apprehension and
underlying panic.
And now it hade to this. Austin had finallye to the Heavenly Pce.
The leader of the Heavenly Pce knew there was no use in trying to escape the fate that was about
to befall him, so he surrendered himself to the young man''s whim.
He dared not raise a fight.
The entire universe knew of the battle where Austin had defeated over a hundred masters at the sect
ancestor level with a single move.
The moment he heard news of it was the moment the Heavenly Pce leader epted the truth that
he was no longer a match for Austin.
"Let me see," Austin said slowly.
He was sporting a cold, emotionless look, as if dealing with the leader of the Heavenly Pce was
nothing but a trifle.
The leader, on the other hand, was gripped with unease and a vague sense of danger.
An eerie silence fell between the men.
''It would seem that I meet my demise today, '' the leader thought to himself, fearful but resigned.
He had, after all, relentlessly hunted Austin down countless times in the past.
He held no hopes that his life would be spared.
"Leader Austin, I havemitted grave crimes," the leader finally said.
"If you intend to kill me, then I shall not resist.
But I ask you to please spare those who are under mymand.
They are innocent, and were only following orders."
"I certainly did not expect you to be so considerate of your men," Austin said nonchntly, his hands
sped behind his back. "But when did I ever say that I would kill you?"
"Leader Austin, what are you saying?!" the leader of the Heavenly Pce asked with ill-concealed
relief.
"I have once remarked not so long ago, that the universe needs peace, not strife," Austin spoke, his
face maintaining the nk expression he had since the beginning.
"So, I will let you live.
But I am worried, as one would obviously expect, that you might betray me.
My doubts can only be ayed when you give me your spiritual soul orb.
Do not worry. I will not enve you.
Consider this your coteral, for your promise to me."
The leader of the Heavenly Pce was appalled at what he was hearing.
But soon enough he made a choice
"I have no objections to serving you, Leader Austin," he spoke slowly, a vein popping in his jaw with the
severity of his words. "I am willing to hand over my spiritual soul orb to you."
With the current level of his strength, the extraction of his spiritual soul orb would be no easy task for
anyone besides himself.
If anyone attempted to obtain it with violence, his spiritual soul would explode and destroy itself. This
was an effective way masters at his level to protect themselves from being enved against their will.
And thus, the leader of the Heavenly Pce relinquished his own spiritual soul orb to Austin.
"With this, our past grudges are no more,"
Austin said as he took the orb from its master''s hands.
The leader of the Heavenly Pce got down on one knee to express his fealty.
"Leader Austin, from today onwards, I serve under yourmand."
Such were the ways of the world of martial arts. The strong ruled.
The leader of the Heavenly Pce was the strongest in this universe in the past, but Austin had
surpassed his strength and power.
It was only right for him to swear loyalty to the younger man. "We will speak more of thister," Austin
said abruptly.
"For now I need you to gather some people here."
Austin cited a list of the top-notch masters, including the emperor of the Sky Phoenix Kingdom and the
owner of the Star Ind.
"As youmand."
The leader of the Heavenly Pce immediately set forth to carry out his orders.
Sure enough, the following day, a dozen people were in attendance to Austin.
They presented themselves and bowed low.
These were once the best cultivators in the universe.
And yet, in front of the young man, a wary restlessness consumed them.
Only the leader of the Heavenly Pce was looking at ease, and he was standing on one side of
Austin.
On his other side stood the leader of the Sword Pce, the chief of the heaven crow race, and the
leader of the Yaksha Pce.
They were all making it abundantly clear that they now served Austin.
Assuming a casual stance and an unconcerned look on his face, Austin gazed at the former best
masters of the universe.
With his current standing, he felt neither need norpulsion to show them much respect.
The air began to feel heavy.
"Leader Austin, I am aware what I must do." The owner of the Star Ind stepped forward and bowed
to Austin.
Out of all the masters, he bore the biggest grudge, and so he was quite worried that his life might not
be spared.
Hence, he took the initiative to speak first and offer his submission.
When the leader of the Heavenly Pce came to get him, he was told that the only way to secure his
survival was to surrender his spiritual soul orb to Austin, and bow to his orders.
To his immense relief, Austin nodded his assent.
The owner of the Star Ind spared no moment in handing over his spiritual soul orb.
All at once, before Austin could even say anything, all the other masters rushed forward to surrender

their spiritual soul orbs as well.
"Good," Austin announced, once the rituals were over.
He looked at the masters with satisfaction.
"I will not make you my servants.
You are all equal to me in identity,"
he stated with emphasis.
"I need you to work together to maintain the peace of the universe."
"Leader Austin, we understand," the masters proimed.
"From now on, we will look to you no matter what happens!"
Austin''s only response was a nod, then he turned and left the room without another word.
He felt quite reassured after having secured the promise from these top masters.
Now he fully intended to focus on his cultivation and get ready for his next adventure.
