The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 2712

Dennis knew, though he was not altogether sure, that Devil Ancestor Thanos would heed Austin's commands. This gamble to still confront the pair would be Dennis' undoing.

It was unthinkable, almost entirely ridiculous, that the almighty lord of the Evil Abyss World, who once joined the glorious battle against the leader of the Heavenly Palace, would heed the words of a youngster like Austin. It was unthinkable, but Dennis finally understood that it was the truth.

"It's too late for mercy,"

Austin said with a faint, cruel smile.

With these words, the demonic avatar closed its massive fist. Doing so, it closed over Dennis' spiritual soul, sealing it and putting it away.

It was strange that Austin did not grant Dennis the mercy of a swift death like the kind that befell his followers. Austin of course, had a reason for it. Dennis' skills with the sword were fascinating, and Austin found himself entranced by Dennis' movement and grace while wielding his weapon.

He intended to interrogate Dennis later, hoping to know more about his unparalleled swordsmanship.

Now, the battlefield was stained with blood belonging to an army that was once considered one of the best in the universe. The Yaksha Palace army was entirely and thoroughly erased from the world.

The news traveled fast, and all those who heard it trembled from the shock that an army of that caliber had been obliterated so quickly and so effectively. What occurred on that day was unbelievable.

The shock from the battle's outcome even reached the members of the Immortal End Alliance who, despite being ready to face the Yaksha Palace army, were all dumbfounded by the events of the battle.

The Immortal End Alliance's gathered forces were ready to see the battle and fight the Yaksha Palace army to the bitter end. Who wouldn't, after seeing them approach, bring an incredibly powerful aura and pressure as they came?

And yet, who could have guessed that only Asa and Austin would be present at the battle from its very beginning to its definitive conclusion?

The other members of the Immortal End Alliance, all geared up and ready for the battle of their lives stood aside and watched as the chaos unfolded and ended like a warm summer breeze. They didn't even need to enter into battle at any point.

Once the Devil Ancestor Thanos arrived on the battlefield, the entire army of the Yaksha Palace was completely annihilated.

"We... we won..."

Master Kevin, Zenith, the soldiers and the Eight Stone Saints along with other cultivators from the Immortal End World looked around in disbelief at the bloodstained battlefield and at one another. They had been expecting to be in battle, to be facing the tremendous forces of the Yaksha Palace army, but now they were faced only with surprise and confusion from the battle's outcome.

Silhouetted against the night sky and the stars, seemingly unaffected by others' confusion and excitement, stood Austin.

"Since when did this young kid start to get along with the Devil Ancestor Thanos? And how are they this much in sync with one another? It's incredible,"

The Evil Shadow King, Damon, and Elroy, whose power were on par with powerful sect ancestors howled in mirth. They had no inkling at all as to what occurred, but they found humor in the situation, at least.

Everyone recognized Devil Ancestor Thanos. He was at the pinnacle of the universe's rankings, after all.

The question on everyone's mind was: How did such a powerful force connect with Austin?

Upon hearing the news on the day, many old ones walked out of their places of seclusion where they had cultivated for ages. They stared into the distance, in the direction of the Evil Abyss World, with worried expressions and a hint of excitement and fear in their eyes.

"Another unexpected factor has appeared in the universe.

This signals that an era of universal unrest will follow."

Old ones who had lived in seclusion for an untold number of ages used secret techniques to calculate and to foresee the events of the future. At last, they shook their heads and sighed in defeat.

Once, Devil Ancestor Thanos was a powerful master who attempted to fight the Heavenly Palace in pursuit of glory several eras past.

Now his return to the universe attracted the attention of everyone -- all great forces, every clan, and every world now turned in anticipation of what he would do next.

"Starting today, the Evil Abyss World and the Immortal End World are off-limits! You are not allowed to engage or provoke them in any fashion! Remember that! We cannot afford to draw their ire, now that we know that the human boy Austin and Devil Ancestor Thanos are allies."

Generals across the land, from all the major forces of the whole universe, gave this mandate to their troops and members.

And all of this went according to Austin's plan. He knew of the effect Thanos' arrival would have on the universe and Austin understood that he could put Thanos' unbearable power to good use. Now, the Immortal End World was safer and their position in the universe rose because of the Devil Ancestor's involvement.

This was the reason Austin had asked his demonic avatar to take the form and pretend to be Devil Ancestor Thanos.
