The Supreme God

Sensing the unidentified object in the elixir field of his body, Austin tried to use his vital energy to expel it, though he was hesitant
and afraid. If the plan backfired, his own vital energy could be damaged.
"Bzzz..."
Whatever it was, it got stimulated from the energy and purred in a low voice, slowly getting aroused.
Then suddenly, it began to absorb the vital energy from Austin's elixir field with a frantic power that he was unable to resist. It
was almost as if there was a magical suction in place.
The suction grew stronger by the second as that thing kept absorbing his vital energy. In just a short while, it had completely
swallowed the vital energy that Austin had feverishly, much like a whale devouring its prey.
Austin was deeply shocked and scared. He resisted as hard as he could and tried to avoid the suction with all of his willpower,
but what he did was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The scariest thing was that in just a moment, Austin had found that all of his vital energy had been sucked out of him by that
thing in side of him. Now, that thing looked strange, with no definite shape, and glowing with a bright light.
Austin regretted wasting his vital energy in his desperation and felt like crying.
He blamed himself deeply for having bothered that damn thing with his vital energy. It was a risk and it hadn't paid off.
It had taken him great efforts to get back to the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. But now, all of his vital energy had been
snatched from him in one sudden moment. Did he have to start over again?
The very thought of this was unimaginable and Austin could not help feeling a little desperate.
"No! I am never going to give in. I am going to get rid of this thing."
Without a second's delay or hesitation, he took out an earth spirit fruit, thrust it into his mouth and swallowed frantically.
Just as the fruit went down his throat, it released a large amount of vital energy into his veins, energizing him, albeit for an
instant.
The object in his elixir field immediately sensed the vital energy and it created another strong suction.

In an instant, the vital energy of the earth spirit fruit was forced towards the elixir field and absorbed by that strange thing once
again.
Having no alternative, and getting more and more frantic by the minute, he put another earth spirit fruit into his mouth without
hesitation.
But it amounted to the same thing once more. The vital energy was immediately absorbed by that damned thing.
Then he continued to take the third earth spirit fruit...
The fourth earth spirit fruit...
Then the next one. He had already taken five.
Then the sixth earth spirit fruit...
Finally, when he had stuffed the seventh earth spirit fruit down his throat, the released vital energy poured into his veins, gurgled
around and finally fell into the elixir field where it stayed this time and was not absorbed by the thing.
Not until then did he recover and regain his strength. The sudden scare had almost made him breathless and it took a few
seconds for his breathing to go back to normal.
Austin heaved a long sigh of relief when he felt re-energized once more. Thankfully, he didn't have to start all over again.
Using his inward vision, he chanced a glance at that thing with fear as if it were something horrible. He was afraid to provoke it
again.
What the hell was inside his body and why was it eating vital energy! Was it a parasite?
If he did not drive it out of his body here and now, then what if some accident happened in the future? That thing would eat all of
his energy and not let him recover.
The whole affair was much like a bomb had been buried in his body. No one knew when it would suddenly explode. So right now,
the biggest problem was, how could he get it out of his body? Austin was at a loss. He really wanted to cry at that moment.
"Haha! Providence willed it that I should escape death. I really have the luck of the devil."

Suddenly, a peal of laughter rang out from inside Austin's body. The laughter was full of excitement and the tone with which it
was uttered expelled a sense of arrogance.
"Who are you? How did you get inside of me?"
Austin asked, turning pale with fear.
Looking inside of himself with his spiritual sense, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the glistening white mass in his elixir field.
What was it? Was it a bird? Was it an insect?
No wait! When he looked closely, it turned out to be just a little monkey, only about the size of a walnut. Yet Austin was scared
anyway because it had still eaten all his vital energy.
Although the monkey was small in size, the red aura that he gave off made him look extremely powerful.
Hearing Austin's question, the monkey responded pretentiously, "It was really unexpected that such a nidering thing as the earth
spirit fruit would save my life at this key moment. Otherwise, all I had was a snowball's chance in hell!"
'Is the earth spirit fruit a nidering thing?' Austin thought to himself when he heard what the little monkey had said.
The tone of the little monkey deeply stunned Austin. It was arrogant beyond imagination.
He had not expected that the earth spirit fruit, which had taken his life's worth of fight to gather, would become a low thing in his
mouth.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you in my body?"
Austin asked again.
"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that you are a lucky person because your pathetic shell of a body is
going to be dedicated for me now. I am going to kill you and take over it! And just remember that today is the most important day
of your life. Today, pathetic human, is the day that you serve a purpose greater than any other!"
The little monkey told him in a defiant manner.
Hearing this, Austin had a premonition of impending doom.
What did he mean "serve a purpose"?

"Get out of my body right now you parasite, or you're going to regret ever being born," Austin snapped furiously even though
fears loomed large in his mind.
He found the whole thing so strange and couldn't figure out why there was suddenly a little monkey inside his elixir field. But
since it had eaten his vital energy, it was dangerous and needed to be taught a lesson.
"And who is going to make me regret? You? Huh! Let me see how you do me any mischief. You are merely at the sixth level of
Energy Gathering Realm and I can kill you as easily as an ant. I tell you, I used to be able to kill 100 thousand people like you
with one breath.
Although my cultivation base has been reduced to Earth Realm, you are not in the position to say no when you are in front of me.
From now on, you'll do exactly what I tell you to.
You know, I had made my decision to kill you there and then when I saw you. But keeping in mind that you saved my life, I
decided to talk to you first and then send you to the next world. But it turns out that even when you bring a cow to the hall, she
will run to the byre! All you are showing is arrogance!"
The little monkey replied, with his hands clasped behind his back, sending out a defiant message that Austin was his slave now.
However, Austin was in no mood for chit-chatting with the monkey at the moment. He was burning in anxiety. Deciding that the
monkey had uttered enough nonsense, he thundered, "Son of a bitch! Get out of my body!"
He murmured a formula, arousing the vital energy in his elixir field to flood toward the little monkey, hoping that the overload
would draw him out.
However, the little monkey turned a blind eye to the surge of vital energy, for it had no effect at all when it lashed on the little
monkey.
"Haha! Ignorant boy. I am only a piece of spiritual soul right now and it is useless to try to hurt me with vital energy.
But in any case, since you're in such a hurry, I'll be a kindhearted person and send you to your death as soon as possible."
As soon as the little monkey finished his words, he disappeared from the elixir field with a glint of red light, and re-appeared the
very next moment in Austin's Soul Sea.

Looking around, the little monkey was surprised to find that the Soul Sea of this man was extremely vast, quite unlike a usual
cultivator at level six of energy gathering realm.
'This is unbelievable, ' the monkey told himself in disbelief.
"Get out!"
With a furious roar, Austin's spiritual soul also appeared in his Soul Sea, pouncing on the little monkey violently. He had half a
mind to wring its neck there and then but was curious too.
Therefore, he hit the little monkey's spiritual soul heavily with a punch and threw him far way at once.
"This is impossible! How could your spiritual sense be so strong!"
the little monkey exclaimed. His voice was full of panic now as if something terrible had happened and he no longer looked like
the arrogant bastard as before.
He had just behaved in a defiant way, talking as proudly as a cock.
Now, however, he was suddenly showing a picture of confusion and nervousness.
The truth was, although the little monkey used to be very powerful some time ago and there were very few people indeed who
could match him in strength and spirit throughout the whole Prime Martial World, right now, at that moment, his strength was only
at the level of Earth Realm
while the spiritual sense of Austin was surprisingly, at the level of the Mysterious Realm. Austin had already been able to release
his spiritual sense and his strength was clearly superior to the little monkey who was only a remainder of a lost spiritual soul.
In fact, the little monkey was the same great ape who had fought fiercely with the other three monsters in the depths of the
Grand Desolation Mountain. During that fight, he had been almost overpowered and had to resort to a forbidden martial art at the
expense of his blood essence in order to finally escape the pursuit of other monsters. This, however, had cost him.
His body was destroyed, leaving only his spiritual soul behind and he would have been obliterated very soon.
Even his spiritual soul had almost fallen into oblivion. But fortunately, the six earth spirit fruits which Austin had consumed after
being taken by him had saved his life in time.

What was ironic was that even though the original remainder of his soul would have vanished between the Earth and the
Heavens if Austin had not saved him, he was still hell-bent on getting rid of Austin until just now.
