"Yes. What you've heard is true.
I fought against Austin and he hurt me very badly, but I'm healed now,"
Cain replied, gritting his teeth as he thought about the battle.
"One day, when the opportunity presents itself, I will get my revenge!"
he continued in a booming voice.
"I also heard that Austin has a lot of avatars training in different space seas in the Absolute Space Sea. It's very weird. He must be practicing a strange cultivation method,"
one of the wizards added, looking off into the distance like he was deep in thought.
"That's right.
He is practicing a strange cultivation method. We still haven't figured out what it is,"
Cain replied.
"Hmm... That sounds like it has something to do with a very rare treasure that is spoken about in the legends,"
another wizard chimed in, scratching his chin.
"What is it?"
asked the other wizards.
"The fruit of supreme enlightenment.
It is a very rare treasure. Has any of you heard about it before?"
the wizard asked.
"What? The fruit of supreme enlightenment?"
It was clear that they all had heard the legends. Shock was etched into all of their faces and some of their jaws had dropped.
"That is a priceless treasure. After one eats it, he or she can create eight-one avatars. Each one of the avatars is an independent being and has different personalities, hobbies, and talents.
They leave their real self and cultivate on their own. At some point, they will merge back into their real self, and everything they experienced will be shared between them.
The fruit of supreme enlightenment is sought after by level-ten governing gods that crave breaking through and becoming gods of chaos.
If a level-ten governing god can manage to obtain it, the probability of him breaking through and becoming a god of chaos is increased by absorbent amounts,"
Cain explained.
A few seconds later, a frown covered his face.
"Damn it!
Austin is a level-ten governing god.
He must have obtained the fruit of supreme enlightenment and used it to create all of his avatars that are cultivating in different space seas.
He is not using a strange cultivation method. He's preparing to break through to a god of chaos!"
Cain yelled in surprise.
"Yes!
He must be!"
The other wizards nodded in agreement, although none of them liked the idea of Austin becoming a god of chaos.
"Austin is only a level-ten governing god now, but his strength is way more advanced than it should be.
If he breaks through and becomes a god of chaos, how high will his strength go?
He will wreak havoc on our darkness race!"
one of the wizards remarked.
"You are right.
We can't let him break through and become a god of chaos.
Otherwise, it will take us forever to deal with him,"
Cain said. His frown had deepened, creating dark shadows all over his face.
"Okay. Before we panic, let's all deduce if Austin is breaking through to a god of chaos,"
Cain suggested.
"Yes. Let's do it right now."
The others nodded in agreement and closed their eyes straight away, preparing to deduce.
Then, under Cain's lead, all of the wizards tried to find Austin and see what he was up to.
They made complicated hand gestures that resembled an intricate dance. Black runes rose from their bodies until several of them had seeped into the space. After a while, they sensed Austin's presence, despite him being far away.
Cain reported.
"What?
Austin has the fruit of supreme enlightenment?
Can you confirm this?"
The news was one of the last things the three Lords of Darkness and the four senior leaders from the Time Chamber Sect were expecting Cain to say. They stared at him with wide eyes.
Because they were all top masters in the Absolute Space Sea, they knew about the fruit of supreme enlightenment.
"As far as I know, the fruit of supreme enlightenment only exists in the Frigid Continent. Has Austin ever been there?
No, I don't think he has. The Frigid Continent is so dangerous that I can't even go in it.
Austin's strength is too low. He wouldn't enter it.
Did you make a mistake?"
one of the senior leaders from the Time Chamber Sect asked.
"No, we didn't.
There is no other explanation. Austin must have obtained the fruit of supreme enlightenment, and eaten it. That was how he created so many avatars to cultivate in different space seas.
Now, he is cultivating in seclusion to try and break through to a god of chaos,"
Cain explained in a serious voice.
"Cain is the most powerful wizard in our darkness race. If he sounds this sure, it must be true. There's no reason to doubt his words,"
the first Lord of Darkness said.
"I can't believe that Austin made it out of the Frigid Continent alive and obtained the fruit of supreme enlightenment.
It's incredible!"
one of the senior leaders from the Time Chamber Sect exclaimed.
"Yes. It's unbelievable that he got out of the Frigid Continent alive.
Austin is very lucky,"
the first Lord of Darkness echoed.
