The Supreme God

By condensing the three-layered golden pagoda, power exuded from Austin.
Steward Meng impulsively nodded admiring Austin's three-layered golden pagoda as he felt the pressure exerted in the air
around them.
"Well, this skill carries a terrific force, making it very impressive. I am guessing it takes an enormous amount of vital energy,
doesn't it? It looks like the vital energy in your golden pagoda is all pure masculine energy. Nine is an extremely masculine
number, so it is supposed to be a nine-layered golden pagoda when you practice this skill at the Great Achievement Stage.
But yours only has three layers. This means you've only mastered the first move of this skill. Unfortunately, your aggressive
martial skill and vigorous vital energy will fail to fend off my attack, since you haven't even begun on the second step, or the third
where maybe I, with serious injuries, couldn't have done anything in front of a mighty cultivator like you. What a pity! You'll never
get a chance to practice the next two moves."
Steward Meng talked as if he were the shoo-in of the two of them. His certain tone lacing his words irked Austin to no end. He
then took out a dark red pill, ingested it, and secretly used his vital energy to heal his injuries.
Austin's sharp eyes sparkled in anger and his lips curled into a faint sneer.
"What!? You think I won't get a chance to practice my second step?"
The moment these words were spoken, the three-layered golden pagoda slightly trembled, and a light golden vital energy
engulfed the entire structure. And then, in an instant, the fourth layer of the pagoda appeared.
Steward Meng's jaw dropped. When he blinked to see exactly what was happening to the pagoda, a fifth and a sixth layer were
already taking shape. Finally, a six-layered golden pagoda gently stood in Austin's palm. At the same time, a wave of
tremendous vital energy fluctuations quietly rippled out from him.
Austin was nothing less than pleased. A hint of a satisfied smile played on his lips and his eyes sparkled with a triumphant look
all the while he felt the strong force that came from the six-layered golden pagoda.
After he could condense the sixth layer of the pagoda, Austin had not used the second step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning
Skill in combat yet. But this now felt the right moment for it. Moreover, with his cultivation base being the premium stage of Earth
Realm, Austin's execution of this move could be more powerful than ever.

Steward Meng was the least happy. Annoyance flashed through his eyes for he could feel the overbearing power of Austin's
pagoda.
"What?! I can't believe you've mastered the second step. But that won't make any difference to me. It will only help you struggle
a little longer."
"Stop with your nonsense! Are you stalling for time? You have taken a pill to heal yourself, haven't you?" Austin snapped
sarcastically.
Austin took in a deep breath to calm himself down. Once his mind was clear and focused, his hand shook lightly and then with a
jerk the six-layered golden pagoda flew into the air.
Whoosh!
A whopping domineering aura burst forth in front of them. The aura symbolized Austin's great prowess and expertise in the
Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. It not only had imposing power, but also contained great momentum.
"Bombard him!"
Austin's shout was the command the pagoda had been waiting for. It was like an animal with its ears all pricked up waiting to
hear his master give an order. The six-layered golden pagoda shot right above them leaving a blazing trail behind. Like a
meteorite or a thunderbolt, it dashed through the sky and hurtled with great speed towards Steward Meng.
The atmosphere around vibrated with its crushing pressure as it bolted down with fierce and majestic momentum!
Skywards, the firmament was streaked in a rainbow of colors making one think that perhaps the pagoda was tearing up the vault
of heaven!
"How dare you!"
Up till now, in his fight with Austin, Steward Meng had been enjoying a winning streak, which made him believe that defeating
Austin would be a piece of cake.
When Austin suddenly displayed such a powerful martial skill, that was consuming a great amount of the vital energy force,
Steward Meng thought him to be reckless but still redoubtable.

Steward Meng's dark herbal pot suddenly emitted a strong black light. The beam of darkness first clouded the light coming from
the pagoda and then shrouded everything into dense darkness.
It turned out that the herbal pot had blasted into the sky to collide with the six-layered golden pagoda.
A brief moment later.
Boom!
The whole world, including the space, light, air, and all the plants around, seemed to tremble a little. Then, layers of visible
impacts rippled from the center of the collision with extreme speed and spread in every direction possible. For a moment the
sand and stones flew as if spewed out by a tornado. The plants snapped in two and dropped on the ground like broken corpses.
Just within minutes, the ground was pockmarked with holes that were somewhere half a meter to a meter deep.
The golden pagoda and the dark herbal pot were locked in deadly combat!
And they were neck and neck.
The two weapons then retreated a few meters.
"Haha, wonderful!" Austin gave a hearty laugh.
"Humph! What's so great about the cultivator of the Mysterious Realm? That Cloud Cave has no owner. It doesn't belong to the
Medicine Sect. You can come in. So can I. You keep attacking me. Do you think you can beat me?"
Through his fight with Steward Meng, Austin realized a crucial piece of information. Although Steward Meng's cultivation base
had reached the Mysterious Realm, which was superior to Austin's, Austin too had upped his current strength to a level that
might contest fairly with someone of Steward Meng's caliber. Considering that Steward Meng now was injured, Austin might still
have a chance to defeat an unwounded cultivator who was on Steward Meng's level.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that he had little advantage in the battle, Steward Meng couldn't help feeling frustrated and deep anxiety.
In a fit of rage, he began to act recklessly, regardless of his injuries. He manipulated the herbal pot to repeatedly and incessantly
attack the pagoda.

On the other side, Austin kept on urging his six-layered golden pagoda to attack his enemy. Since breaking through to the Earth
Realm, Austin had been able to release the vital energy from his body into the air.
In the Energy Gathering Realm, when he launched the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill to fight the enemy, he was required to
hold the golden pagoda in his hands. But now that he had upgraded his caliber, his pagoda could be flying in the sky and he
could maneuver it just as easily by applying his mind to it.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ...
The center of the battle between the golden pagoda and the black herbal pot suddenly exploded with a loud sonorous sound. It
felt as if the mountains had quivered into landslides and volcanoes were erupting. It was like the surrounding atmosphere was
torn asunder!
By now, the two sides had attacked each other a dozen times. And at last, the six-layered golden pagoda started to tire, running
out energy. And again, in an explosion, it burst into a cloud of golden particles that vanished into thin air.
