COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD, VOLUME 2 - Season 8 Episode 10

It was just as they had expected. Under the mountain, there were superior vital energy crystals.

“Violet, gnome, come out to collect the vital energy crystals,”

Austin called out. Violet and the gnome immediately jumped out from the Illusion Bead.

Violet and the gnome were demonic beasts who had good speed. They acted extremely quickly, not being a bit slower than Austin.

Once they were out, Violet and the gnome began to pick up the superior vital energy crystals that were scattered everywhere.

Suddenly, the gnome paused. It then pointed towards Austin’s right side.

“The gnome is asking you to dig the ground on your right.”

Violet understood and explained to Austin what the gnome meant by its gestures.

Hearing that, Austin became very excited. The gnome was very sensitive to the natural resources which contained abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so he thought that the direction in which it had pointed might be the place the divine vital energy crystals were buried.

Like a furious humanoid beast, Austin threw a number of punches, each weighing 400, 000 pounds towards the direction in which the gnome had pointed.

Whenever a punch landed, the ground cracked and left a path of several meters wide before him.

After repeating the same thing for a dozen times, he sensed a strong spiritual energy.

Austin looked carefully and saw purple mist slowly rise from the path. Under the purple mist were scattered more than twenty crystals which were of the size of a fist.

He could feel that the density and the purity of the spiritual energy present in those crystals had reached an incredible degree.

Compared to those crystals, the spiritual energy contained in the superior vital energy crystals was nothing at all.

“These must be the divine vital energy crystals!”
Austin and Violet cried out in unison.

The gnome was equally excited. It stared at the divine vital energy crystals, and kept jumping up and down.

But something caught Austin by surprise. The crystals were laid out in circular shape like a ring.

In the middle of the circle stood a human statue. Austin couldn’t tell what material it was made of.

It seemed to be an emperor’s statue. It was a man in white with a sword slung at his side. The man was tall and strong, and he looked very mighty. The expression and demeanor were so vivid that he looked like a real person.

The Sword Emperor had the demeanor of a transcendent being, which made Austin feel that he would fly away from the mortal world, any time.

“How can this be?”

Both Austin and Violet were surprised.

In the beginning, Austin had thought that these divine vital energy crystals had naturally formed there.

But after observing their distribution, it was obvious they had been laid out there by someone.

Austin and Violet exchanged glances, confused.

As he had taken all the efforts to be there, Austin was not willing to give up the divine vital energy crystals.

After a moments of hesitation, he gathered up his courage and walked towards them.

He quickly collected all the crystals. Now only the human statue was left in its place.

“Huh?”

Austin sensed an abnormal energy emanate from the statue the moment he picked up the last divine vital energy crystal. It was a wisp of will!

It lingered around the statue. It seemed to have infinite sentimentality and couldn’t bear to leave.

Suddenly, the air around the statue whirled, like the waves of water. It made the surroundings look like an illusion.

“Phew!”

A beam of bright light was emitted from above the statue. It transformed into the shadow of a man whose back was turned towards them. The shadow then rose up in the air, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked thoughtful.

His mighty aura was like that of an emperor. It seemed to be able to shake the world and pierce the sky.

“What is happening here?” Austin’s mind suddenly went blank and his heart started pounding in his chest.

He looked at the shadow of the man in shock. Violet gasped too.

The gnome was so scared that it immediately rushed into the Illusion Bead to hide.

Austin and Violet’s eyes were filled with awe. They felt so much respect for the man that they were willing to bow down and worship him even though they didn’t even knew him. There was an enigmatic aura around him.

Austin was able to have a glimpse of the man’s appearance. He looked mighty and valiant with a square chin, thick beard and big eyes. Apart from the majestic demeanor, he had an air of grace and nobility. It was beyond words to describe him.

The man suddenly looked up and spoke with an indignant tone, “I have completely comprehended the natural law of the Prime Martial World and reached the Emperor Realm.
In the Prime Martial World, nobody can be at par with me.

However, in the vast space of the universe, the Prime Martial World is so small. Although I have reached the pinnacle of cultivation in the Prime Martial World, it is nothing at all compared to the countless space and worlds which are part of the great universe.

There is no end to martial arts attainment. Since I have reached the Emperor Realm in the little Prime Martial World, I will break the space barrier of the Prime Martial World and go to a higher level in the space world.

I have been cultivating swordsmanship for long. So before I leave, I have put all my understanding of swordsmanship into the stone statue of the Sword Emperor. I hope someone who happens to visit this place in future gets it.
Regard it as my last contribution and present for the Prime Martial World.”

The voice echoed in the air with a piercing power.

Austin and Violet couldn’t stop trembling and were about to kneel down to prostrate before the Sword Emperor.

Their consciousness and bodies seemed out of control in front of that man, and they felt themselves as humble as two ants.

“God! It is nothing but a wisp of will! Nobody knows how long ago the Sword Emperor had left the mortal world, so it is really incredible that the will he left is still so strong!” Austin suddenly thought of something.

‘Wait! What was that! He said that he had reached the highest level of swordsmanship in the Prime Martial World… that means…. he had already reached the Overload level. It is the highest Imperial Stage of swordsmanship cultivation!

Besides, the Imperial Stage is the most powerful in the Prime Martial World. When a cultivator reaches this level, he is certainly be able to break the space barrier.

He said that he had put all his swordsmanship cultivation base into the Sword Emperor statue, then if I get this statue, I can get the lifelong swordsmanship cultivation base of the Sword Emperor!’

Austin’s heart thumped wildly.

The shadow of the man repeated what he had said, “I have put all my understanding of swordsmanship into the stone statue of the Sword Emperor. I hope someone who happens visit this place in the future gets it. Just regard it as my last contribution to the Prime Martial World.

Alas, I wonder if I will ever have the chance to come back to the Prime Martial World again.”

After repeating the last sentence several times, the shadow suddenly unsheathed his sword.
