Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 597 - 048: Destiny or Coincidence?

In the void, Austin was about to leave, but suddenly paused to think.

His hand stretched out, like the giant hand of a Divine reaching down from the sky, enveloping the space where the dark shadow had appeared.

Crash!

Amidst the sound of clear water flowing turbulently, Austin's massive hand twisted the air, his immense Spiritual Sense traversing the fierce storm, searching every corner of the void.

The projection of that mysterious Venerable had already dissipated, but Austin was exceptionally keen about that lingering aura which seemed somewhat familiar.

Perhaps, among the relics of those who attacked him earlier, some clues about that identity might be found.

However,

After a meticulous search, nothing was discovered.

When that unknown Venerable projected his image across an unknown vast distance, the surrounding void was shattered into dust, and the belongings of those already reduced to ashes were also crushed.

Then Austin erased the projection, unleashing a tempest that swept through that space like a tide.

Under such relentless force, the relics carried by those individuals were completely obliterated, leaving no trace of residue behind.

"Strange, who exactly is the enemy? Ever since arriving in this world, I shouldn't have provoked any hostile forces..."

With nothing to gain,

Austin halted his actions, standing quietly in the void, pondering silently.

After a long time, he still couldn't find the answer.

He could only suppress it temporarily.

His gaze shifted back,

To see the newly opened dimensional space below, which was now trembling and swaying due to the previous conflict, like wobbling mirrors, rippling with light and breaking into void cracks in some places.

"What a pity..."

This place could have been an excellent retreat for Cultivation, but now, having attracted such a formidable enemy, he couldn't stay here for the time being.

A Venerable being already stood at the pinnacle of this world, and he was not yet their match.

Although he didn't know why the other party crossed the Endless Space to descend, a bond of cause and animosity was inevitably formed between them.

"Hmph! This grudge will surely be settled in the future!"

Even if he unleashed all his powers, Austin genuinely feared the other party, but unfortunately, this was a mutually destructive method. Using powers not belonging to this world, he would face severe rejection from the world and ultimately have to rely on the Boundary-breaking Stone to leave.

The wise man understands when to withdraw,

Retreat temporarily.

Austin broke through space and disappeared completely.

At this moment,

In the place where the dimensional space was previously broken, the dense Spiritual Qi began to permeate from the void, spreading into the surrounding mountains, with clouds appearing and layer after layer encapsulating them.

In addition, with the leakage of the Power of Space, mysterious and unpredictable void cracks appeared unpredictably, tearing objects apart, forming a vast, dangerous zone.

In the years to come,

This place might become abandoned by intelligent beings due to the density of Spiritual Qi and the dangerous spatial characteristics, gradually transforming into a Secret Realm filled with Spirit Medicine, where Spiritual Qi condenses into raindrops and mist.

Moreover, within that space on the verge of collapse.

The area once served as Austin's Cultivation field, there might remain Sword Intent of the Time Power, potentially inscribing the scenes of Austin practicing Swordsmanship, which could manifest at special times. If someone with fate manages to traverse the mountainous dangers and enter this space, they might gain enormous benefits from Austin's remnants.

At the same time, during Austin's practice, powerful Sword Intent left nearly unhealable scars within the space.

These scars retained remnants of Reincarnation, Time, and Space's power.

If one could comprehend the power within these void scars, they would surely gain significantly.

Perhaps, Austin's temporary retreat might become a place of enlightenment and opportunity for young prodigies, allowing them to reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts in the future.

However, this all seems to be of little relevance to Austin.

...

In the Endless Chaotic Void, Austin traversed through the currents of chaos, lights flashing to form a stream of radiance, with external sights appearing like scenarios fast-forwarded thousands of times, flashing through the radiant channel.

This is the projection of external sights, captured when traversing space.

Austin sat cross-legged in the void,

A mass of clear qi beneath him transformed into a cloud carpet, carrying him swiftly forward.

The destination of this journey was Cloud Continent.

It's the place where the Celestial Secret Sacred Land, which once suppressed the entire Northern Land, had descended, hidden for millennia, waiting for the right time to reveal itself again.

Austin intended to head to Cloud Continent first to see if he could gain an advantage.

But there were still several years before that great change, so there was no rush. It was an opportunity to gather some fortunes along the way, enhance his Realm, and leave some legacy opportunities along the journey, gathering the prodigies of the local world to help him comprehend that elusive Space-Time Power. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

However,

Amidst the chaotic currents, Austin, sitting on the clear qi, slightly furrowed his brow.

Earlier, the appearance of that Venerable-level expert made Austin feel a faint sense of familiarity.

Now, he finally realized.

It's the Celestial Secret, it's destiny.

For some reason, an elusive bit of Celestial Secret Destiny Power seemed to entwine that Venerable and himself.

"Before, that young man mentioned Holy Medicine, said to be among the Tier Four Spirit Medicines of the heaven and earth, with those above the Celestial Tier being Holy Medicine, beneficial even to Venerable-level beings. Did that kid mistake me for a Holy Medicine turned from Cultivation?"

This wasn't entirely wrong.

This form was rooted in a weed, but once Austin possessed it, it reversed its Innate origin, leaping significantly in its life layer through Cultivation.

Now his main body could generate an astounding life force.

So calling it a Holy Medicine wasn't an exaggeration.

"When I chose that mountain and that ordinary Sword Grass to possess, was it merely coincidence or destiny?"

At this moment, a question spontaneously arose in Austin's mind.

Like the question he pondered when leaving Sanshui County.

After drifting to Sanshui County, the Sect Leader of the Plum Blossom Sect, Zhuge Minghai's master, calculated the Sect's prosperity at the cost of his life, thus moving the Gate of Truth's base back to the Ancestral Hall. Was it all coincidence or destiny?

His eyes became extremely profound.

Just after possessing a body to be reborn, he was discovered by a nearby young man, eventually incurring a Venerable enemy?

Could it really be such a coincidence?
