Chapter 2988 Under Siege
By this time, Austin was already thousands of miles away from the star where he had acquired the
spiritual dragon. Standing on the head of the dragon, he looked around and found a nearby abandoned
star cluster that was on the verge of the universe.
"Let''s stop here. It''s a perfect ce to conduct my training."
Austin then ordered the spiritual dragon to enter the star cluster.
ording to Morse, Austin had been able to fully control the spiritual dragon, but he needed to refine it
further.
The moment that he sessfully refined the spiritual dragon, it would be integrated into his spiritual
soul energy.
By that time, his spiritual soul energy would increase sharply and he could then use the spiritual dragon
to its maximum potential.
In addition to refining the spiritual dragon, Austin also nned to hone the Puppet Strings and learn the
other secrets skills possessed by the spiritual race.
Since Morse was an exceptional master of the spiritual race and had mastered several powerful secret
techniques of their race, Austin thought that he would be a suitable teacher.
Regarding the second trial in the Primordial Road, Austin believed that he could dy the hunting of
members of the spiritual race until he managed to refine the spiritual dragon. Once he managed to
refine it, ying enough spirits to pass the test would only be a piece of cake.
As Austin found a nice and quiet ce in the deserted star cluster, he got into the Space Ship and
asked the Heavenly Majestic Pot to set up the Track-hiding Array to make the ship invisible and to
prevent others from finding the ship through the spiritual sense.
The gnome also performed the Space-isting Skill to cut off the space where the ship was from its
surroundings.
Just to be safe, Austin even asked Darby to perform an inherited secret skill of the Tomber race using
the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor. This technique would enable him to stop others from detecting the
space where Austin was through their spiritual senses.
With the spiritualw that further weakened the effects and powers of these skills, it would be almost
impossible for outsiders to search for Austin.
Austin started his training and began to refine the spiritual dragon.
Since Austin was controlling the spiritual dragon through the spiritual tree, the refining process would
not take a lot of time.
Hundreds of millions of miles away, the where Austin had escaped from started to quiet down.
The aristocrat of the spiritual race finally calmed down.
However, from the outpour of his rage, countless innocent lives were erased in the universe in just a
matter of minutes.
What lingered on the was air filled with a strong smell of blood, and heaps of bones and flesh
scattered everywhere.
At that moment, the survivors on theid still on the ground and didn''t dare to move at all.
"Thank goodness! It seems like his anger has finally dissipated. We''re still going to live another day!"
Every creature felt relieved when they noticed that the aristocrat stopped spewing out horrifying
spiritual soul energy.
They knew that whenever the aristocrat was enraged, countless weaker creatures would definitely get
in trouble and could even end up losing their lives.
"Humph! It took me a very long time and cost me numerous precious natural resources to cultivate that
spiritual dragon.
No one can take it away from me!
That idiot doesn''t know that the dragon has my spiritual soul mark on it.
I will be able to find it unless it is not in this universe.
Just you wait and see. I will track you down and make you regret pulling off this stupid stunt of yours!"
the aristocrat eximed.
After that, he finally calmed down.
He sat with legs crossed and floated in space.
Streaks of spiritual sense energy soon rushed out of his head and swiftly spread out.
With his supreme level, he scanned the entire universe through his spiritual sense.
However, thanks to the brilliant skills set up by Austin''spanions, their location was very well-
hidden. It also helped that they were pretty far from the aristocrat as they were at the edge of the
universe.
As a result, the aristocrat failed in locating Austin.
"Damn it! You''re pretty good at hide-and-seek, huh? Don''t even think that you can get away from me!"
the aristocrat said while gritting his teeth, with face turning red in fury.
Two days had passed, and still, not a single trace could be found.
This time, he spat out more original blood essence.
His face turned very pale after that.
"Soul-locating Skill!" he said in a low roaring voice.
Then he recited mysterious spells and pointed at the space in front of him.
The original blood essence he just spurted out had divided into thousands of strands and each turned
into human-like miniatures with shining eyes.
The little people quickly dispersed and disappeared into the void.
After using the Soul-locating Skill, the aristocrat has severely weakened. He hurriedly took out and
consumed a lot of precious natural resources to replenish his strength.
Meanwhile, a horde of participants pursued the trial.
As the trial went on, many participants were killed by spirits and vice-versa.
The fierce battle between the cultivators and the members of the spiritual race took ce everywhere
in the universe.
Little by little, the participants got to know more about their enemies. They learned their weaknesses
and how they could easily deal with them.
As a result, they began to gain the upper hand against the members of the spiritual race.
Since the mainw governing the universe was the spiritualw, the cultivators took advantage of
enhancing their spiritual soul energy.
The vast majority of the participants had realized this fact and began to work on their spiritual soul
energy.
Many of them had acquired arge number of spiritual crystals, which when sessfully refined, they
would sharply increase the quality of their spiritual soul energy.
Overall, the trial involved a lot of danger and opportunities alike for the participants.
When a whole lot of cultivators already passed the second test by ughtering enough number of
spirits, they didn''t leave the world immediately. Instead, they searched for a secluded ce where they
could take advantage of the spiritualw governing the universe to cultivate their spiritual soul energy.
On the other hand, some participants chose to leave as soon as they got the required number of
points.
After all, the universe was a very risky ce. There was always a high chance of bumping into powerful
masters of the spiritual race that would put them in great danger.
Atst, the day came when the aristocrat opened his eyes after meditating for a long while.
"Ha-ha! I finally found the sneaky mouse!
So a human brat with a low cultivation base was the one responsible for all this?!
However, this human boy seems to have a priceless treasure rted to the spiritual soul.
I think this treasure would be very useful to me.
If I can get a hold of it, I might rise and defeat all the other aristocrats in the universe! When that
happens, I would climb up high and be the second strongest next to our supreme grandmaster.
Ha-ha! This is a blessing in disguise!
Now, I''m going to take back the spiritual dragon.
Plus, I will also take the priceless treasures possessed by that human brat!"
the aristocrat shouted in excitement.
The human-like miniatures he created emerged from the void and returned to his head to be a
part of his spiritual soul energy.
He quickly stood up and wasted no time—he rushed towards the edge of the universe.
As he darted towards Austin''s location, he ordered all his subordinates through his mind to set out and
secretly follow him to his destination.

The following day, the star cluster where Austin was hiding had beenpletely surrounded by
countless members of the spiritual race and their ves.
"Master! I have bad news!
We''re under siege! The spirits are here headed by a mighty aristocrat!"
Morse reported to Austin the second he noticed their enemies.
