Austin quickly realized that the old man in front of him was just an avatar.
Humphrey's real body was nowhere to be found.
A moment earlier, Austin had used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Sea of Chaos, but the only being he could find was the one in front of him.
"Austin, you're finally here."
Humphrey sneered, slowly standing up on the star.
"No need to try so hard. You will not find my real body anywhere. The day it comes back will be your last day,"
Humphrey said with a ferocious grin.
"You will never rule the Sea of Chaos as long as I am here.
When your real body comes back, it will be your last day,"
Austin replied calmly.
Without uttering another word,
Austin activated his mind power.
In the next instant, a mind sword pierced through Humphrey's chest,
catching him by complete surprise.
"How could this be possible?" the old man screamed in horror.
"Your grasp on mind power has increased this far so quickly! How did this happen?"
"Why, Humphrey? Are you afraid of me?"
Austin asked with a sneer.
"Ha! Are you joking? Why should I be afraid of you?
The day my real body comes back, I will shred you to pieces. Enjoy the last few good moments of your life, Austin!"
The old man burst into laughter before exploding without leaving any trace.
Austin couldn't sense his presence anymore. "I guess his real body is hidden somewhere to cultivate in seclusion,"
he murmured to himself.
He checked everywhere in the Sea of Chaos, but found no trace.
Humphrey seemed to have completely disappeared from the space.
'Hm. He has left the Sea of Chaos. But where did he go?' he wondered.
'Wherever he went, I'm sure that he will come back soon.
When he does return in his true body, he would definitely be stronger.
I have to admit that he is the most powerful opponent I have ever met in my life,'
Austin thought to himself with a bitter smile.
After some futile effort,
he gave up looking for Humphrey and walked around the Sea of Chaos aimlessly.
But soon, he sensed a universe community with a heavy evil aura.
He believed it to be the famous Demon City.
Before Humphrey ruled the Sea of Chaos, the demon race used to be one of the super forces that demanded respect and fear.
"To think that the powerful demon race ended up like this."
Austin walked towards the universe community.
The Demon City was destroyed and desolate, no longer as prosperous as in the past.
Austin continued to walk into the depth of the ruined Demon City.
He stopped in front of a void ahead of him and gazed right into it.
There was nothing but a faint evil aura pervading the void.
With his hands behind the back, Austin stared deep into the void. His eyebrows knitted into a tight frown.
"The demon race is, as it is said, a formidable super force with a long history and profound foundation.
I'm surprised that even Humphrey couldn't see through this. It's very impressive,"
Austin said, laughing out loud.
Still, there was no movement inside the void. No response.
It was like a well without limit; everything was dark and quiet.
'The demon race had been keeping their real power under wraps.
They have seven governing gods! That number indeed makes a race quite formidable even in the supreme universe.'
Austin couldn't help but marvel at their true power.
'So, it's highly likely that the other super forces are also hiding their true strength!'
he thought at the same time.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here?"
one of the seven governing gods asked, looking at Austin with mixed emotions.
After all, the demon race did hold a grudge against Austin.
They had fought several times in the past.
Austin's sudden appearance made them a little anxious. They didn't know what his real purpose was.
Not very long ago, Austin fought several battles with Humphrey.
These governing gods had been secretly observing them every time the two fought.
They knew that Austin was much stronger than all of them put together.
If he wished, he could annihilate the entire demon race. So, they couldn't make any uncalculated moves.
This man was capable of hurting Humphrey; his strength was beyond their imagination.
"Mr. Lin, I know there have been many misunderstandings between us in the past. We may have offended you many times.
We do owe you an apology,
and the demon race has no wish to treat you like an enemy.
We are also willing to compensate you for any trouble.
Just please spare us this time!"
said one of the governing gods as he stepped forward with cupped hands.
"Please spare us, Mr. Lin!"
the other governing gods also repeated in unison.
