The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Suddenly...

"Look out! There's a terrible snowstorm approaching from ahead!"

Anakin cried out to Austin.

He immediately looked up and saw the cold winds howling before him, ripping the space to pieces with terrible ice energy. All while thick hail crashed down from the sky, and a large number of blocks of ice cut through like razor sharp knives.

The storm was horrific and stretched across a truly vast area.

"Remember, Austin, you can't fly through these snowstorms. You're going to have to walk through. The bodies of us ice source beasts are hard and stoic, and we're good at controlling ice energy and ice law. As long as my brother and I are careful, we have nothing to be afraid of in these storms. However, your human body is relatively weak. You need to be extra careful. Don't worry; we'll still be here to protect you where we can,”

Anakin said seriously, making sure Austin understood the gravity of what they faced.

"Thank you very much,”

Austin replied, nodding to show his gratitude.

"Do the two of you really think this human boy can help you break that ancient array?

He looks so weak, like he might die before he even gets there.

Well... Um... Don't be angry. It's just a joke..." the water source beast behind them mocked, before quickly back-peddling on his words.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the anger flashing on both brothers’ faces. He shuddered with fear and shut his mouth right away.

The four of them had already made their way into the snowstorm as they were talking.

Austin immediately felt an overwhelming energy pushing against him.

Every block of hail was bigger than a hill, raining down from the sky and not stopping. He was surrounded by numerous sharp blocks of ice and a whirring icy wind.

He felt under great pressure.

He felt that even ordinary gods of chaos from the outside world would be crippled for sure, if not killed by a snowstorm like this.

He wasted no time in summoning a large amount of sacred fire to cover his body in fierce flames. It was so powerful that it immediately blocked off the ice energy, hail, ice blocks and cold wind around him.

With the sacred fire's protection, Austin felt a lot more relaxed.

He was confident in his physical body's ability as well.

It had after all been thoroughly refined, and possessed an amazing recovery ability.

"Austin, that sacred fire of yours is absolutely incredible!"

Anakin praised.

"What's this? You're just a governing god, human boy. The power of the sacred fire should be too much for you. How are you able to control it?

From what I know, even the gods of chaos on the outside would not dare approach such a sacred fire too easily. How did you manage to get it?"

The water source beast behind them was stunned by the blazing sacred fire all over Austin's body. Austin simply smiled at him and offered no more.

The beast possessed a strength similar to the two brothers. He was finding it quite easy to walk through the snowstorm as well.

His body was made entirely of sea water. The hail, ice blocks, and cold wind could not hurt the sea when they struck it. The most they could do was raise a huge wave out of it.

"It appears the water source beast race also possesses a considerable defensive ability.

He's in the form of water and so can't take any damage even if he's hurt.

Killing him must be really difficult,”

Austin marveled to himself as he looked at the water source beast.

Austin, Anakin, Cayden and the water source beast had been walking for more than half a month before they finally made it safely through the terrible snowstorm.

When they emerged out the other side, Austin found himself atop a vast plateau.

The ground beneath him was covered in ice even thicker than before, and contained more powerful ice energy.

The moment they stepped out there, the temperature dropped sharply, lower than anywhere else. His body may have been covered with a layer of sacred fire, but Austin still felt a stabbing of coldness coming through and could not help but shiver.

With his current strength, the cold energy here was still capable of penetrating through and chilling his bones. It was a terrifying place to be sure.

"Austin, there are many ice wolves living on this plateau. They're not that powerful as individuals and so like to move in packs. It's quite often that you'll find them in groups of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, gathered together and looking for food.

They eat everything. If they come across something living, no matter what it is, they will swarm it and eat it. We must be vigilant and keep our wits about us.

If we encounter the ice wolves, the first thing we should do is run as fast as we can.

Do not fight them, or that'll be the end of us.

They get all crazed when they're fighting.

We usually do not provoke them because of this,”

Anakin explained gravely.

Cayden and the water source beast were also serious now, looking here and there on high alert. The hairs on the back of Austin's neck stood up and tingled when Anakin spoke

These ice wolves must be real pests to deal with if the three powerful beasts in front of him looked so afraid now.

"That's enough talk.

We should be quiet and try not to disturb those nut-jobs.

It would take a lot of time and energy if we were to battle them.

Every time I've crossed paths with them, I was injured and even left on the brink of death once. I would really like to never see them again,”

said the water source beast in a low voice.

Everyone moved as light and nimbly as possible, keeping a low profile and making their way across the plateau.

They did not encounter anything in the first few days.

Gradually, the water source beast's and the brothers’ nerves were eased.

"We're quite fortunate to not have met those horrible wolves. Everything went smoothly I think," the water source beast remarked happily.

"Yes indeed, not being discovered by those ice wolves is a happy thing.”

Both Anakin and Cayden nodded their agreement.

"We'll be through this plateau before long,"

Anakin revealed with a pleased smile.

Austin let out a sigh of relief when he heard that.

However, just then.

Whoop! Whoop!

All of a sudden, shrill howls rang out from behind them, filling the air with echoes of displeasure. "Damn it! That's the sound of the ice wolves!

Looks like they've found us.

Guys, run, fast!" yelled the water source beast to his companions.

He was clearly startled and rattled.

Crash!

His watery body darted ahead at an astonishing speed, moving from one spot to another in the blink of an eye.
