The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Just as Isis was busy fussing over this strange young man's rude and infuriating behavior, a middle-aged man, clad in silver, and

approaching them quickly, caught her attention. Hold on, something was wrong!

She was taken aback.

'It's a Heavenly Grotto Realm master, ' she exclaimed inwardly, recognizing the face being one of her foes.

The next moment, she immediately understood what was going on and figured out that the young man was actually trying to help

her escape.

However, Austin's speed surprised her.

She could tell that he was at the medium stage of Minor-perfection Realm, but even so, he was much faster than she would expect

such a cultivator to be.

For now, however, the twasn't right to ask questions. Isis chose to be silent and allowed the young man to take her hand and

lead her into the depths of the desert.

After a while, the middle-aged man in silver was stopped by a woman at the Heavenly Grotto Realm, who was from the Moon

Palace. The two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle.

The three cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm were enraged to watch Isis escape and see that they could do nothing to catch

her. "Go get that bitch.

She might have got that treasure," one of them shouted at the others.

Immediately, about a hundred cultivators at the Major and Minor perfection Realms began chasing after Austin and Isis.

"And no need to let that guy go. Kill him too! He should have stayed out of this in the first place," the middle-aged man in silver

roared out from behind them.

He had seen how Austin had cto Isis' rescue like sfreaking knight. The anger had clouded his judgment and he had

immediately ordered an assassination, without stopping to consider what he might be interfering with.

On the other hand, Austin was busy trying to confuse his pursuers and leading Isis deeper into the desert. Pretty soon, he managed

to outrun them and saw no one after looking back. Finally, the duo were able to slow down and get srest.

This was possible only thanks to Austin's highly powerful bodily movement skill. Without that, they might still have been running

with the cultivators hard at their tail. Or perhaps they'd be dead by now.

As for those cultivators, even though they had been chasing the duo for quite a while now, they could no longer spot even a hair of

Austin or Isis. Their targets were now invisible to them. Even their spiritual senses failed to locate them.

Despite that, Austin didn't lower his guard. After stopping for a while, he grabbed her hand once again and dragged Isis deeper still

into the desert.

He was afraid that the three Heavenly Grotto Realm masters who were chasing after them might catch up anytsoon since their

speeds were also quite high and they could reach this place if they tried.

He could feel that the middle-aged man in silver had a terrible aura around him that spoke of his frightening fighting powers. Most

probably, he was much stronger than most masters of the Heavenly Grotto Realm.

However, even after an hour had passed, they saw and heard no trace of their pursuers.

Now Isis was getting agitated. Seeing that Austin was still holding her hand and had no intention of letting go, she couldn't help it.

She arched her eyebrows and complained. "We don't need to be in a hurry anymore. We've shaken them off for now,"

she told Austin in a sullen voice as she tried to remove her hand from his grip.

"No. We need to continue moving. The three Heavenly Grotto Realm masters can easily spot us if they get close enough. Their

spiritual senses are highly developed,"

Austin replied, without stopping in his tracks.

Isis made several attempts to free herself from his grasp, but they were all in vain. And Austin himself was too preoccupied to

notice.

"Hey! Listen! You can let go of my hand now!"

"Oh! Right!"

Austin finally understood and noticed her attempts and with an awkward smile, he released her soft hand.

However, it was more like a smirk from Isis’ point of view.

'He must have done this on purpose!’ she thought, casting him an angry stare.

Slowing down, they continued to delve deeper into the desert at a brisk pace.

Although they found no signs of the three Heavenly Grotto Realm masters, they still had to stay vigilant since there were more

than a hundred cultivators at the Major and Minor perfection Realms still on the lookout for them.

The desert they were in seemed endless, and easily had an area of at least a hundred thousand square miles. They noticed that

the sky, the sand, and even the air itself were as red as blood in color. They stopped dead in their tracks.

This was no illusion. Their eyes were not playing any tricks on them; they could tell since the smell of blood soon filled their noses.

It was as if they had walked into a slaughterhouse.

Fear started to consthem. What was this place?

Cold sweat started to trickle down their faces. They had literally walked into their own graveyard and had no one to blbut their

own selves. If they were killed, there was no telling what would happen to their corpses.

"It's said that this desert was dyed red by the blood of ancient immortals who fell here. This place is enveloped with blood mist all

year round and this fog hasn't disappeared since the ancient times,"

Isis explained to Austin in a soft whisper.

She was a principal disciple of the Moon Palace and was going to be the new Holy Daughter. With her knowledge, intellect, and

beauty, she had also won the favors of the senior members of her sect.

That was why, before she had entered the Fallen Immortal World, the reclusive elders of the Moon Palace had shared ssecrets

about the place with her. Hence, it was no surprise she had a knowledge of this desert.

"The Immortal Burial City is said to be located right in the center of this desert.

If we want to get there, we'll have to travel at least halfway across this forsaken place.

The journey is full of danger and not for novices and amateurs. It is said that even a Heavenly Grotto Realm master can find his

death in here.

Needless to say, we must be extremely cautious and careful,"

Isis told Austin.

Together, they journeyed deeper into the desert.

After a day's journey, another serious problem suddenly hit them.

They got lost!

All around them, they only saw red sand. There was not a single tree or marking in sight.

Ssort of foul and ferocious force made it difficult for them to perceive their surroundings through their spiritual senses. They

slowly got confused and had no idea how to leave the desert.

Realizing that they had gotten hopelessly lost Austin decided to start leaving smarks.

However, even that idea was fruitless. They soon reached the place they had been at just now

That way, forty eight hours passed and they still couldn't find a way out of the desert.

"Steward Paula had a map of this place with her. If | knew that we would get lost in here, | would have asked for a copy,"

Isis remarked, looking frustrated.

Steward Paula was one of the three women who had reached the Heavenly Grotto Realm in the Moon Palace. Austin had met her

once earlier.

However, regret was the least of their problems.

No sooner had those words cout of Isis’ mouth, that a blood-curdling growl was heard from a distance.

A ferocious creature appeared in the distance. It was staring at Austin and Isis with its blood-thirsty eyes.

It was humanoid in appearance, but over seven meters tall and a foul smell similar to decomposed meat spread out from him.

Whoosh!

It suddenly rushed towards Austin at a lightning fast speed. The next instant, it halted right in front of him and extended its sharp

claws, each of them at least a foot in length and similar to iron hooks.

Austin, however, stood completely still. He stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist, making it so tight that his

knuckles turned white.

Since he had practiced the first five stages of Immortal Body Refining Formula earlier on, his body was now as hard as a powerful,

high-grade magic treasure.

Before the creature could react, the collision between Austin's fist and its claws was heard.

A large bang echoed and the ground shook for a second.

The creature faltered and drew back a few steps. It then let out a pained but angry roar.

For smoments, it stayed there, its foul smell reaching their noses and its sharp eyes staring intensely at Austin. They were full

of rage and a murderous will.
