The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 4412

Countless great masters sensed the aura of the old man from afar.

Some of the elders who had been living in seclusion for years were awakened by his presence too.

After years of penance, they walked out of their secret chambers, gazing at the old man in the distance.

The whole of Sword Cosmos trembled slightly due to the tremendous power of the aura.

An abnormal amount of spiritual senses were aimed at this old man,

and Austin was all but forgotten.

As they tried to perceive the old man, the masters' faces turned pale with fear.

When their spiritual senses had almost reached the old man, they were immediately repelled by a powerful force.

The old man was enveloped in a layer of faint runes, which isolated and protected him from any intrusions.

Even the governing gods couldn't perceive him.

'Master Rumble?'

Austin overheard the discussions in the Sword Cosmos and became more curious about the old man in front of him.

If this man and Master Sword were from the same generation, then there was no doubt that he was of very high status.

"I'm flattered, sir,"

Austin replied in a humble tone.

He could tell that the old man was being friendly towards him.

Austin could be overbearing and rude to his enemies, but he was polite to those who deserved it.

This old man demanded respect, and Austin was more than happy to oblige.

"Young man, I never flatter anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Given your talent, you will reach the ultimate stage one day and become a legend who will be remembered eternally,"

the old man said. His voice was calm and his words carried so much weight.

'The ultimate stage?'

Despite his peaceful tone, his words caused a wave of sensation among the eavesdroppers.

Every governing god in the vicinity heard the old man's words very clearly.

The ultimate stage—they knew what that meant.

There was not a single governing god who didn't understand the meaning of those words.

It was their final goal to reach that stage; however, it was just too difficult to attain.

Since the beginning of the Sword Cosmos, there had never been a single cultivator who could reach that ultimate stage.

But here might be an exception—Austin.

If anyone could reach the ultimate stage, it was him, which made every governing god envious of him.

But they regretfully had to admit that he was indeed an unprecedented genius.

If this old man was the real Rumble, then his words could not be taken lightly.

"Is Austin really qualified to reach the ultimate stage?"

They were unwilling to accept it, even though it was the mere truth.

Austin kept his eyes on the old man. He decided to tread carefully.

The old man had an unfathomable aura, and it was impossible to tell how powerful he really was. There were no energy or law fluctuation around him.

He looked more like an ordinary old man who had never cultivated in his life.

But that was just how truly strong masters were. The bountiful power only served to make him seem humbler than ordinary masters.

Needless to say, Austin was a little overwhelmed by the presence. He really didn't imagine running into such a powerful master out of nowhere.

He had never even heard of such a strong master till this day. He quickly figured that the old man could have been in seclusion for a long time, indifferent about the affairs of the cosmos.

So, no one knew of his existence.

'No matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger,'

Austin thought.

"Sir, is there anything you need from me?" he asked cautiously.

The old man smiled in response.

"Well, nothing much. I was just curious about you. You are a brilliant young man,"

he said, beaming.

Austin wanted to open his mouth to answer, but couldn't find the right words. He was surprised by the old man's unexpected reply.

Since he remained clueless, the old man spoke again.

"There is no doubt that your fighting power has surpassed most of the governing gods, but there is a problem."

"Problem? Please sir, advise me,"
