The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The City Guardian was already at the brink of death when Austin rescued him. And at that moment, he stood beside the four Master Realm cultivators and simply stared speechless at Austin.

"Castellan, did that guy just save me?" the City Guardian asked softly in a low but surprised voice. He was still conflicted whether he would feel gratitude or anger towards Austin after he saved him.

A tide of change silently swept through the crowd. Everyone, including the four Master Realm cultivators, slowly turned their attention and stared in utter amazement and disbelief at Austin.

This young man was definitely special as compared to the ordinary cultivators.

How else could you explain a cultivator who had only a cultivation base at the medium stage of Sky Realm yet was able to do something like this? "The young man's spiritual sense is extremely strong! It's even stronger than mine!" Jake said, his voice filled with excitement and awe.

"Maybe he can save us from this situation." A few Imperial Realm cultivators started exclaiming, as if they saw Austin as their savior.

Despite the fact that what they were thinking sounded ridiculous. After all, why would an Imperial Realm master take such a risk and entrust his life to a meager medium stage of Sky Realm cultivator who was still wet behind his ears.

However, being stuck in a dire situation, their desperation to survive was more important than their prides. Any glimmer of hope was very much welcomed, and they would latch on to it no matter how crazy it might be.

Desperate times, called for desperate measure after all. Even a drowning man would hold on to a small twig, if it meant survival.

"We should leave this altar at once. Staying here any longer would impair our spiritual senses, to the point that we might lose 40% of our maximum strength.

This is the only way for us to escape from this place and survive." These cultivators had already stayed on the altar for so long, hence, their vital energy and spiritual sense were being depleted excessively.

But delaying their stay further was actually advantageous for Jim.

So Austin immediately activated his spiritual sense and began sending out messages to every cultivator present via the Soul Sea.

Twas against them, so they must act quickly.

"Young man, we also want to leave the altar more than you know. But there are countless magic arrays around the altar, and it is impossible to get out." Jake replied honestly and sternly. He also sent a message back to Austin's Soul Sea using his spiritual sense.

Although his message was direct to the point, politeness was still evident in his use of words.

"You don't have to worry about that. All you need to do is to follow the right direction and escape as fast as you possibly can.

Speed is everything here. | will remove the magic arrays for you so that you can escape." Austin answered, confidence and the desire to help was written all over his face.

After hearing the conviction in Austin's voice, Jake didn't even think twice and immediately relayed the message to the rest of the forty cultivators via spiritual sense which contained a detailed explanation of the plan.

"Hum, still trying to think of a way out of here huh? You people just don't give up. You'll realize that all your hopes are futile when you finally face the reality of your situation, ' Jim thought, as he observed them. Because of his strong perception with his spiritual sense, it was child's play for him to notice what the people were planning to do.

Jim wasn't really expecting this much obstacles in his great sacrifice array.

Moreover, he had already spent so much spiritual sense energy in order to maintain the magic array arrays and the multiple attacks on the altar.

Deep inside, he was already getting more and more impatient and annoyed with the situation.

Driven by impatience, he suddenly transferred a huge amount of spiritual sense energy on the stone pillar underneath him once more.

His energy was immediately transmitted, and becanother barrage of attacks on the altar.

The grayish-white fog rolled like a storm above the altar where hundreds of ghosts began pouring out over the crowd. Dark chains emerged afterwards, thick as a human arm, which whizzed forth to attack them.

"Gnome! Get ready to send these people out of the altar." Austin quickly delivered a message to Gnusing his spiritual sense. They were running out of tand things were getting way out of hand already.

In a blink of an eye, Austin appeared beside a group of cultivators. He then summoned a spiritual sense chain from within his Soul Sea, which was even thicker compared to the dark chains attacking them.

The spiritual sense chain trembled slightly and emerged from Austin's Soul Sea.

The chain jingled in the air for a few seconds before it suddenly sprung forth and captured all the ghosts around them, which dragged them back within the depths of Austin's Soul Sea.

This technique was known as the Soul-transforming Skill! Once the ghosts entered Austin's Soul Sea, a refining process occurred with the help of his spiritual sense. This process would then convert the ghosts into his spiritual sense power.

Thanks to this skill, Austin was able to sweep up all of the ghosts around them.

Then a slight spatial pulsation suddenly appeared beside the crowd.

The gnwhich disappeared a while ago suddenly popped up out of nowhere.

He quickly stretched out his gray claw and scratched the air in front of him making a small slit space. Then a phantom claw appeared from the slit, and suddenly struck the dark chains that surrounded the cultivators.

A cold glimmer emanated from the sharp hook at the end of the gnome's claw.

Using his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that the claw was actually formed from the gnome's beast soul energy. It was like an extension of his soul energy.

Dang dang dang...

After a series of crisp crashing sounds, the dark chains around the cultivators were sliced in half by the claw. They fell on the altar floor, and exploded one-by-one, turning into numerous dark fragments of spiritual sense. It was like a dark fireworks show really.

"Run out now!" Jake was both surprised and delighted when he saw this.

He took the lead and flashed out of the altar in lightning speed.

Then all of them followed Jake and moved their bodies simultaneously. Everyone activated their fastest bodily movement skills and sped away from the altar as fast as they could.

As they flee, everyone used their spiritual sense as a shield in order to protect their Soul Sea tightly.

When Jim witnessed this, he grunted angrily and immediately pointed his hand towards the fleeing group, and sent a series of spiritual sense messages.

At the edge of the altar, various illusions constantly appeared and tried to invade the Soul Sea of all the cultivators. They were like persistent germs trying to invade the body of their host.

The non-stop barrage of multiple illusions was too much to bear despite of their high cultivation levels.

In a few seconds, more than a dozen premium stage of Imperial Realm cultivators whose spiritual sense powers were slightly lower compared to the rest had been conquered by the illusions in their Soul Sea.

All of a sudden, they found themselves trapped inside a world created by illusion.

Each cultivator was imprisoned in a different world of fantasy, producing different reactions from each of them. Scried, laughed, panicked, or was terrified about something. Swho had lewd minds, started hugging and kissing the air around them.

It was total chaos. ...

Moreover, several other cultivators suddenly changed their course and flew back towards the altar, despite the fact that they kept on saying in a loud voice, "Hurry up! Run, get out of this horrible place quickly..." It was as if they have gone crazy or blindly confused.

The rest of the cultivators, who were not affected by the illusions, stopped fleeing and stood shocked and frightened as they witnessed the chaotic scene unfold before their very eyes. In fear of experiencing what their comrades were going through, they constantly kept the illusions at bay from entering their Soul Sea.

When Austin saw the situation, he immediately activated his mind, and a powerful spiritual sense surged out like a tornado, blowing through the cultivators in order to drive away the illusions.

The gndecided to help as well, and quickly raised his claw forward. Then a huge claw shaped object created using the beast soul energy flew and pummeled the illusions in front of the helpless cultivators.

Crack! The cultivators who were imprisoned within the illusions suddenly heard a series of voices ringing in their Soul Sea.

Then the illusions instantly faded away, like snow melting under the intense heat of the sun.

While the rest of the cultivators who were fighting off the illusions instantaneously felt the strong pressure caused by the forceful illusions decreasing away.

Although the spiritual sense power of Austin and the gnwere technically no match against Jim's, and were not capable of fighting him in a one-on-one battle, however, they were still able to destroy the magic arrays using their combined strength.

Because two was still better than one.

Freed from the nasty illusions, all of the cultivators joyfully sped up and ran even faster.

Fueled by their renewed hope of surviving the ordeal, all of them unexpectedly tapped into their infinite potentials and was able to run at a speed which was faster than their usual one.

"How dare you!" At this moment, Jim, who growled furiously out of rage, finally left his position and rushed towards the fleeing cultivators in order to chase them down himself.

Now, it had been very regretful in Jim's heart.

He regretted being hasty and impatient. He should have had waited patiently until the very end of the sacrifice before luring Austin into the Illusory Palace. This predicament would have been avoided if it hadn't been for his stupid mistake.
