The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Since the gnwas about to break through to a higher level, Austin knew he shouldn't be stingy or try to save crystals.

Compared to humans, it was much more difficult for demonic beasts and diabolic beasts to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, and that meant that they had to pay much more attention, effort and ton it. Of course, Austin wouldn't hesitate to show his support at such a critical moment.

Gritting his teeth, Austin took out almost half of the superior vital energy crystals he possessed, a number of elixirs, medicinal materials and even several pieces of divine vital energy crystals from the Space Ring, and sent them into the Illusion Bead.

"You can use as much as you need. If these are not enough, just letknow," Austin said. He seemed to be very generous with his actions. However, internally he was very reluctant, and he felt his heart bleeding.

Violet knew how he felt. She couldn't help but laugh in the Illusion Bead, covering her mouth with her hand so as not to offend him.

"Master, this city seems very bizarre, and the three castellans have already reached the Master Realm, so we'd better leave as soon as possible." Since Violet could communicate with Austin telepathically, she could also read his mind and understand their current predicament.

"The four people in their discussion have just said that there is an invisible force that prevents people from reaching the edge of the city. This is the main reason why the cultivators are trapped in this city and can't leave.

| guess the city's edge is protected by selaborate magical array or barrier.

Violet, you have an inborn ability and are good at using illusion, so you should be more sensitive to magic arrays as compared to the rest of us. When | finish cultivating by taking advantage of the souls, we can try to make a break at the city edge. Maybe we can break through the magical arrays.

It's a good opportunity forto cultivate using the souls in the city." After discussing with Violet, Austin continued to practice the Soul-transforming Skill and improve his Soul Sea.

Austin was focused and with the complete immersion of his body and mind and he slowly fell into the realm of cultivation and felt his body and mind unify. He entered a sort of trance and experienced a clarity of mind.

The dark and glittering spiritual sense chain in Austin's Soul Sea becthicker and longer, and the spiritual sense power it released was stronger. Wherever it went, the souls fled, shrieking in horror, like they had seen snakes and scorpions.

Ssouls even tried to escape from the grey mist. However, the mist was like a yoke which suppressed them like an invisible force. They were trapped and they couldn't leave from the area covered by the mist.

Meanwhile, the range that the spiritual sense chain could reach was slowly expanding. In the beginning, when Austin had just started cultivating the Soul-transforming Skill, the spiritual sense chain could barely reach a distance of several dozen meters, so it was only able to bind the souls that were near him.

After several days of cultivation, Austin had absorbed a great deal of spiritual sense energy from the souls, and now his spiritual sense power had increased exponentially. Moreover, he had gained insightful knowledge about the Soul-transforming Skill and could use it more skillful. Thus, his skill power was much stronger than when he had earlier gotten there.

Obviously, Austin had gone beyond the elementary stage and reached a higher level in the Soul-transforming Skill cultivation, surpassing the beginning stage where he previously was.

The spiritual sense chain released from his Soul Sea had not only increased by five or six times in size but was also able to reach a distance of about 30 meters.

With continuous practice, the spiritual sense chain kept on increasing in both its size and the distance it could reach. The improvement sped up Austin's progress in extracting and purifying the souls.

One hour, two hours, more tpassed...

Austin sat in the middle of the street, immersed in his cultivation, like an old monk in a trance.

From the outset, in the mist which covered the whole street, a number of souls rushed towards Austin one after the other. It seemed as if they wanted to rob Austin's flesh body.

However, as he extracted and purified more souls, the spiritual sense chain grew into a thickness bigger than an adult's arm and emanated more spiritual sense power which scared away most of the souls, especially since it was whistling and flying around Austin.

Eventually, all the souls screamed and fled. In their view, Austin had becthe most ferocious demon. However, since the spiritual sense chain moved so fast, none of the souls within 30 meters around Austin were able to escape.

Whenever all the souls within 30 meters around him were extracted and purified, Austin simply moved to another place and continued the extracting and purifying process. No matter how hard they tried, the souls would be restrained and confined within the area covered by the grey mist.

Several hours later, most of the souls that Austin had trapped were extracted and purified.

More and more spiritual sense energy coming from the extracted and purified souls merged into Austin's Soul Sea.

When they had accumulated to a greater extent, Austin could feel that his spiritual sense power had increased steadily little by little.

He seemed to have developed a magical sixth sense and felt his spiritual sense power growing gradually as if he was sharpening a knife on a millstone.

At that moment, Austin's attention was totally focused on his Soul Sea.

With the increase of his spiritual sense power in his Soul Sea, Austin felt that his spiritual awareness had becmore acute, and the perception of his Soul Sea had also becclearer.

At that moment, his Soul Sea was pure and clean. It had no blemish or shadow cast over it and it looked like clouds floating in the blue sky on a shiny day. His Soul Sea was filled with a pleasing aura, as refreshing as the smell of flowers.

He was more sensitive not only to his Soul Sea but also to the minute changes in his body was going through.

Ssubtle changes could be felt within his body like an increase in his heartbeat, blood circulation, cell division and production, pore contraction, changes in body temperature and enhanced responsiveness within the gut and a low pain threshold. All these could be reflected in Austin's mind, and as clear as observing his palm prints.

Austin suddenly realized that the enhancement of his spiritual sense power not only allowed him to better perceive the outside world but also improved his ability to perceive his own internal.

Just then, Austin suddenly found the spiritual souls in his Soul Sea were also changing gradually.

In the process of becoming more materialized they emitted a glittering and translucent glow like a jade. The light formed a soft halo which was the glow of the spiritual sense power emanated from the spiritual souls when the spiritual sense power reached a certain level.

What was more peculiar was that the spiritual souls were still growing tall! Austin was very excited about the changes happening in his Soul Sea.

Finally, the grey fog that was covering the street cleared, and all the souls had disappeared.

Austin heaved a sigh of relief. Then he stood up and released his spiritual sense power.

He was pleasantly surprised to realize that he could reach a scope of 1, 500 meters in the city! Austin used his spiritual sense power to carefully explore the area within 1, 500 meters and quickly determined the position of several other masses of soul-consuming fog.

He then led Tessa and the other two girls towards the area where the soul-consuming fog masses were located.

Austin knew that the three girls couldn't go anywhere without him. Besides, the numerous soul-consuming fog which was constantly moving within the city was a great threat to them, so he had to take them with him.

After a short while, Austin found the soul-consuming fog he had probed. He threw out the yellow array flag and summoned the soul-consuming fog masses to the sstreet. Then he began to extract and purify the spiritual sense energy from the souls covered in the grey mist.

About four hours later, all the souls were extracted and purified and cleared from the area.

Austin tried again and found that the range his spiritual sense power could probe had increased to 2, 000 meters! Now that Austin had tasted the benefit of refining the souls, he changed to another place and began to look for new targets. After a short while, he found several other masses of soul-consuming fog. He collected them together and continued to extract and purify them.

There was a lot of soul-consuming fog that occupied the city.

Therefore, after extracting and purifying the current batch of souls, Austin immediately found snew soul-consuming fog masses.

A new round of extracting and purifying began...
