The Supreme God

The atmosphere crackled with energy as the air thickened with mist from the presence of magic and formidable power. With the sudden increase of potent energy around him, Austin slightly shivered but held his ground as he raised his head to look up at the arrival of nine distinct figures who had hovered above him. Straightening his posture and exhaling deeply, Austin schooled his expression into one of seriousness.

Gathering his wits about him, Austin intently focused on the energy fluctuation coming in waves out of the drifting cultivators. Without having to concentrate harder, he had felt their immense potential to destroy by utilizing high-level magic. Gritting his teeth, he estimated that two out of nine were at the primary level of Sky Realm, while four of their members had reached the medium level of Sky Realm. Moreover, three of them had attained the status of the Sky Realm's high level.

Anyone with even an ounce of power in the Violet Orchid Empire knew and understood that directly facing any of them could not just result in loss, but in death. The group of nine figures who hovered ominously was a threat to everyone in that particular moment.

The two men beside him, Graham and Bruce, were just as astonished as the other cultivators of the Empire. The surprise and slight panic from the two were evident in their postures, as well as the fact that they kept nervously switching their gaze from the group and to Austin. Clenching his fist tightly, Austin realized that even two of the ones with the lowest level in the assemblage were much stronger and more powerful than Graham and Bruce, and they were both at the same primary level of Sky Realm.

If worse comes to worst and they ended up battling, Graham and Bruce would not have stood a chance against the two members from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom even if they were supposed to be ranked at the same level. 'And who was going to fight the other seven?' Austin thought and grimaced at the images in his head of a sea filled with the crumpled bodies of his friends and the triumphant yet merciless eyes of the group staring down at him.

"Is this the true power and spirit possessed by the young generation of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom?"

Murmuring to himself, Austin scanned his eyes among the regal forms of the group which radiated authority and confidence.
