When Austin concluded his spiel, he summoned thousands of puppet strings from his Soul Sea. They were thrown in all directions!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The crimson silk strings were like a heavy downpour―each one of them had a certain gravity around them.
Austin was after the divine gods of the four major forces and their affiliated forces.
The divine gods sustained a lot of damage by the array. Their energy and vitality were now significantly weakened.
Hence, they found it hard to defend themselves.
They still did their best to resist the red strings capturing them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The silken threads entered the divine gods' Soul Seas and enveloped their spiritual souls.
There was a struggle―their faces contorting in pain, bodies writhing in resistance, and anger from their autonomy being taken away. However, their attempts to fight back were futile. Once they were fully restrained, their expressions calmed down.
"Master!"
The newly-subdued divine gods bowed in unison.
"How dare you!"
"What kind of sinister skill did you use, huh? How could you do this to our sect?!"
"It seems that he has used some kind of vicious secret skill to control their spiritual souls!"
The governing gods of the four major forces were thunderstruck. They had never encountered anything like it before. Seeing the divine gods of their respective sects kowtow before Austin repulsed them heavily.
"Austin has so many tricks up his sleeve!"
The five sword spirits guffawed. Watching the whole scene unfold amused them.
Of course, this elated them since they were not fond of the four major forces. It was about time someone put a stop to their tyranny.
Therefore, they merely let Austin have his way with the divine gods he tamed.
"Ha-ha! Do you think this is the last of it?" Austin mocked as he chuckled insultingly. Then, he glared at his enemies with deathly piercing eyes.
"This is just the beginning. There's more to come."
His voice was low and cold, sending chills down the spines of the governing gods.
More puppet strings were thrown out and drilled into the Soul Seas of their sect members.
"Retreat!"
"Run! Run as fast as you can!"
The scene was in a shambles. Clueless about how to deal with Austin's mysterious skill, they were left with no other choice but to recede. Dozens of governing gods scrambled to safety.
Then, once they escaped,
everything went quiet. There was nothing but the rhythmic hum of the wind's breeze.
None of them stayed long enough to deal with Austin's power.
Only the divine gods who had been subdued as slaves remained.
Just like that, Austin had defeated the four primary forces in the Divine Sword Mountain.
With news this big, it was immediately a sensation all over the Sword Cosmos.
Creatures from all over were talking about it non-stop.
For the longest time, sword cultivators in the Sword Cosmos recognized the Divine Sword Mountain as the epitome of sacrosanctity.
It was their spiritual sustenance.
This information that the four major forces attacked the Divine Sword Mountain
made many sword cultivators dissatisfied with them.
Once they heard the news of their defeat, they were overjoyed.
Meanwhile,
on the Divine Sword Mountain.
"Well done, Austin.
You've done an incredible feat. Your contribution to overthrowing these wicked forces is remarkable."
The five sword spirits spoke highly of Austin.
"Austin, it seems that you have made a breakthrough not only in your level, but also in your swordsmanship. You have reached a very high level,"
the old man in yellow remarked when he perceived Austin's aura.
"Yes, I have noticed that, as well. I made some progress in my swordsmanship,"
Austin replied.
Since he began improving his skill,
his capacity had greatly sky-rocketed. Adding up the previous engagements from the major sects he encountered, Austin had definitely enhanced.
In terms of his swordsmanship, he was now on par with those governing gods in the Sword Cosmos.
In fact, the world of swordsmanship inside his body was already tangible and had evolved into an actual world.
It was no longer illusory.
Austin could feel that this world of swordsmanship had greatly increased his combat effectiveness.
