This was not surprising, all things considered.
The spiritual dragon, after all, was extremely dear to that nobleman.
He considered it the pinnacle aplishment of his life.
Naturally, he would rally all of his strongest men to get it back, and here they were now, practically
blocking the whole star cluster.
They settled in and made themselvesfortable. Then the nobleman set off to stalk his prey.
Meanwhile, on a secluded part of the star cluster, Austin sat cross-legged and silent, cultivating in
peace.
The air around him stirred in a sudden disturbance.
With his eyes closed, he didn''t see arge gray shadow skulking in the vast, deserted sky. The
nobleman was approaching him.
The shadow stopped just in front of Austin, looming and crowding up his space.
"Hey boy," he sneered, "stop hiding ande out."
Austin opened his eyes immediately and stood up in a single sharp motion.
Morse and Darby stood at attention. They had been silently guarding Austin all this time, while Violet
and the others were back in the ve Tower, each cultivating in seclusion.
Austin had equally distributed the many spiritual crystals he had amassed earlier, and instructed them
to improve their spiritual souls as soon as possible.
"Master, you''ve finally finished your cultivation!"
Morse was particrly excited.
"Master, have you refined the spiritual dragon? Have you?"
"Yes," Austin calmly replied as he stepped out of the tiny enclosed space he was upying. "Let''s go
and have a look at it."
He cast a brief nce on the sky, where the huge gray shadow was slowly dissipating, before leading
the way.
Morse and Darby promptly followed him.
They teleported back to the clearing, and found themselves surrounded by the nobleman''s troops.
"So it is you who stole my spiritual dragon!" The nobleman''s eyes were burning with murderous intent,
locked on Austin.
Austin, on the other hand, only looked around him undaunted.
"Yes, I did take that beast and refined it," he replied casually.
This being the case, Austin had acquired many advantages.
With the significant leap in his spiritual soul energy levels, he was quite confident that he could defeat
this nobleman from the spiritual race. The nobleman snorted, "Ha! You expect me to believe that you''re
telling the truth?
It is no small feat to refine the spiritual dragon, especially for someone like you, given your cultivation
base!"
But then his mocking tone turned somber once he had a sense of Austin''s spiritual soul energy.
"Well, what do we have here? It seems like you have a rather extraordinary treasure in your
possession."
As he was trying to wrap his head around this discovery, another thought crossed his mind.
His indignation turned to delight. He could take full advantage of this situation he was thrust upon.
"This is excellent! So what if you have the spiritual dragon now? It wouldn''t matter soon enough.
I will be taking back what is mine, along with all the other priceless items you have."
He shed a cruel grin at Austin, then paused as he remembered something else. "By the way," he
asked, sping his hands behind his back, "where is my son?" Austin replied with cold indifference.
"You mean, one of my ves?"
Using his spiritual sense, he summoned the governor of the spiritual capital.
"Master." The man appeared instantly, bowing to Austin to pay his respects.
It was none other than the nobleman''s son. Something within the older man seemed to finally snap.
"What the hell is this! What is going on here? What have you done to my son?" he spat at Austin.
"No son of mine will call some human bastard his master. This must be some trick you''re trying to pull
on me!"
As far as the nobleman knew – as far as anyone of their race knew – only they spiritual race were
capable of controlling other races.
The opposite ever happening had never been heard of.
No other creature had ever been capable of enving those of the spiritual race. "Could this possibly
be... Is this because of the treasure you have that is rted to the spiritual soul?
That sted thing appears to be more powerful than I initially thought.
Ha-ha! How thrilling! I am excited to find out what other powerful treasures you are hiding!"
He stretched out his hand to make a grab for Austin, which thetter easily dodged. The still
outstretched hand released tremendous energy then, turning the air hot and heavy like the depths of
boiling sea.
"Bastard,e here!"
As the nobleman yelled, countless lightning bolts streaked through the sky.
The force of endless spiritualw power transformed into a hundred thousand miles wide ck clouds
and came to Austin.
To an observer, it was as if an angry and vindictive god wasing for Austin to mete his punishment.
"Well, if you want to have a fight so badly," Austin called out, "then a fight I shall give you!"
He wasn''t the least bit intimidated by the older man''s disy of strength.
On the contrary, he was itching to test his own against the nobleman''s, especially now that he was
done refining the spiritual dragon.
Bang!
A nineyered crimson pagoda burst forth from Austin''s Soul Sea and pressed forward, leaving a trail
of crackling spiritual soul energy in its wake.
It was one of the secret skills of the spiritual race, the Spirit-pressing Tower.
"Humph!"
The noblemannded a single blow on the crimson pagoda, and it shattered into pieces.
As he did, a blinding beam of white light shone forth from the explosion, its energy tangling itself with
the spiritualw.
Bang!
The intertwined energy spun on itself, forming a violent hurricane that moved aimlessly around the
space, its unpredictable turbulence shaking the entire star cluster. It finally moved away from where
they were all gathered, and dissolved into the distance.
As the dust settled, the spirits and the ves began to understand what just urred.
"Were my eyes deceiving me? That human brat was actually able to hold his own against our lord!"
The realization left them shocked and speechless.
This was unprecedented, unimaginable even.
In all their lives, they saw this nobleman as if he were a god, an undefeatable being who possessed
immeasurable strength.
He was a terrifying existence who held the universe in the palm of his hand.
And out of nowhere came this mundane-looking human guy. Not only did he draw forces against the
nobleman, but he also proved himself to be a worthy opponent of equal, possibly greater power. "This
is rather exhrating, I must say!" Austin couldn''t temper his confidence.
To him, the oue of this showdown was already decided. "Let''s do another round!"
Taking the initiative to attack first this time, he unleashed the Omnipotent Lightness.
"You''re dead, you human scum!"
The nobleman''s face darkened with rage.
He knew the secret to Austin''s overwhelming spiritual soul energy. It was because he had refined the
spiritual dragon.
He had now surpassed the nobleman at great lengths.
No matter, the nobleman still had an advantage over Austin.
He was a cultivator who had practiced an abundance of secret skills from the spiritual race – he had far
richerbat experience.
There was no way Austin could keep up with him in that aspect.
Boom!
Austin was using the secret skills he had just recently learned.
Waves of energy rushed over the surface like raging waves.
The two went on fighting for a while, their powerful attacks canceling each other out every time. Until...
Bang!
One of the nobleman''s punchesnded on Austin, and he was thrown a few yards back.
The nobleman reveled in this momentary victory.
"Ha-ha! What do you say now, boy?
Even if you did refine the spiritual dragon and used its power, you''re still no match for me! I''ll be
sending you to hell now."
He wasughing rambunctiously as he strode over to where Austiny.
''Fuck this, '' Austin thought to himself as he slowly came to his senses.
That blowback there managed to jar him somehow. ''Forget it. I''m just going to have to finish this as
soon as possible.
If we continue with all this ruckus, we might attract the attention of the other nobles from their race.
They''ll gang up on me and that''s going to be a real pain in the ass.
But even worse than that, we might wake the real powerful one. Rumored to possess an even more
terrifying strength than anyone currently in existence, he lies hidden and asleep.
If that one is awoken, it wouldn''t be just me, but the rest of the participants who will have to deal with
the consequences.''
As a matter of fact, in the violent battle just now, he could feel more than one powerful spiritual sense
thrumming from different corners of the universe.
It was safe to assume that the bearers of these spiritual senses were none other than the other nobles
from the spiritual race.
Just as he was getting back on his feet, the nobleman''s voice rang out again.
"Here, brat, have a taste of the inherited secret method of our race, the Puppet Strings!" This was
followed by wild and cruelughter, and then...
Swoosh!
Thick crimson ropes darted towards Austin in a heavy downpour, prating his mind and trespassing
into his Soul Sea.
The strings thrashed around, as if searching for something, before lunging at Austin''s spiritual soul.
Before the ropes could tangle themselves around it, the spiritual tree appeared, blocking their path with
its massive trunk.
Then the spiritual dragon roared and pounced on the strings, devouring them all at once.
At that same moment, Austin and Darby simultaneously opened the Eyes of the Ghostdom Ancestor,
and charged at the nobleman.
Before they could even reach him, the spiritual dragon shot out of Austin''s Soul Sea and swiftly outran
them. It made a beeline for the nobleman.
"Die!" Austin cried,unching his fiercest attack yet. He had thebined strengths of the spiritual
dragon, the spiritual tree, and two Eyes of the Ghostdom Ancestor. His power engulfed the enemy.
When the energy of his attack fizzled out to itsst sparks, it was greeted by the sight of the
nobleman''s body crumpled on the ground, bloody wounds and marks running along his limbs.
Austin came closer and watched as the nobleman struggled to breathe.
"Die!" And with that, the spiritual dragon and the spiritual tree moved forth into the dying man''s Soul
Sea, and shattered his spiritual soul.
