The Supreme God

In the Ethereal World, lightning rained down heavily on Austin, who was near the eye of the Sword Cosmos.

He stood still, calm and composed, his hands behind his back. He seemed unbothered, not dodging any of the strikes thrashing at him.

He was only a premium-grade genuine divine god, but he was already far stronger than any ordinary governing god.

The Thunderstroke Doom was a force on par with an attack of a semi-governing god, and still could not harm him in the slightest.

An hour later,

the dark clouds dispersed and the lightning faded away along with them.

"That's it. I'm a semi-governing god now," Austin murmured softly, no one around to hear but himself.

He was satisfied with the end result.

Ascending to a higher vital energy realm hadn't done much for improving his strength this time.

But he had made a breakthrough after over ten years of cultivation. He was pleased with how his efforts had turned out.

More importantly,

he had successfully absorbed and refined oceans of great cosmos force in the eye of the Sword Cosmos.

The great cosmos force had made up about ninety percent of his energy structure,

which meant that most of the energy inside him was the great cosmos force.

This had increased his fighting power exponentially.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin! You've made a breakthrough! I can feel it!"

"Master, you have finally achieved another breakthrough in your cultivation base. I am so happy for you!"

Ellis, Warner and Emmet all had congratulatory words for Austin as they approached him together.

"Thank you!"

Austin replied, nodding in appreciation.

The three of them then took turns filling Austin in on what had been going in the Sword Cosmos over the last decade.

Of the four former major forces, some had cut themselves off from the outside world while some had kept a low profile or even gone off the grid altogether.

The Curry Sword Sect had been developing well in their position as the head of the Sword Cosmos.

Pretty much the entire universe obeyed its orders and lived by their rule.

It seemed, at least on the surface, like no one dared go against their commands.

"Master, as far as we know, the army of the Blade Cosmos have been inactive for the past ten years,"

Emmet revealed.

"I see,"

Austin said with a sinister smirk.

He had already decided he would make a move against the army of the Blade Cosmos stationed in the Sword Cosmos soon.
