The news of Billy’s return to the country was known only to a few people at Ether Mountain.
So, many were naturally surprised to see Billy appear here.
“Aspen, are you okay?” Billy approached Aspen Kelly shortly after.
“Thank you, Master Billy!” Aspen Kelly bowed and replied, “I’m fine. Master Billy, please go help the others!”
As she spoke, waves of shock surged in her heart, not because of Billy’s appearance, but because of his skills!
With just one strike, he killed a first-rank Holy Realm cultivator!
Even though Donte Fuller was injured, he should still be able to unleash the power of a ninth-rank Sacred Realm, right?
And yet, he was cut down so easily?
If she remembered correctly, when they last met over a year ago, Billy hadn’t even broken through to the Divine Realm!
And now, he had reached the mid-stage of the Sacred Realm!
Truly worthy of being the young master of Ether Mountain. His growth speed could be called astounding!
Not only her, but Dubhe beside her also showed an equally astonished expression on his face.
He had a feeling that he might not have been able to withstand Billy’s strike even in his prime state!
It hadn’t been that long since they last met, yet Billy had been far stronger than he expected.
At that moment, a loud noise reached Billy’s ears.
He saw Sebastian Fennimore being sent flying by Elias Delaney’s ultimate move, leaving behind an arc-shaped trail of blood.
“Master Billy, Elder Sebastian is the former sect master of Phoenix Divine Palace. He was invited by the peak master to come to Ether Mountain. Please go help him!” Aspen Kelly shouted loudly.
“Phoenix Divine Palace?” Billy paused for a moment.
In his mind, Aunt Edie’s figure appeared. Without a doubt, this person should be Aunt Edie’s grandfather!
“Yes!” Dubhe chimed in, “Master Billy, don’t hesitate. Take action!”
“Alright!” Billy responded and quickly moved forward. He shouted to Dubhe at the same time.
“Dubhe, help Aspen seal her cultivation and prevent her from using Chi power recklessly. I’ll heal her later!”
He had examined Aspen Kelly’s condition earlier and knew that she had used a secret technique.
“Understood!” Dubhe replied loudly.
At the same time, Elias Delaney launched another fierce attack towards Sebastian Fennimore.
Billy’s eyes narrowed, and a blood-red arc-shaped blade blocked Elias Delaney’s assault.
“Who are you?” Elias Delaney turned his head to look at Billy and asked in a deep voice.
“Hmm?” Sebastian Fennimore also looked over and then his eyes lit up. “Are you Lord Dragon?”
“Elder Sebastian, just call me Billy Boy!” Billy smiled and responded.
“Haha, it’s really you!” Sebastian Fennimore wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed heartily. “A hero emerges in his youth. The boy chosen by the old master is truly extraordinary!”
“Elder Sebastian, your praise is too much!” Billy smiled again. “Elder Sebastian, please go help Megrez Sims. Leave this to me!”
“He is a first-rank Holy Realm cultivator. Are you confident?” Sebastian Fennimore continued to ask.
“He is injured, so it shouldn’t be a problem!” Billy responded.
“Alright!” Sebastian Fennimore didn’t insist any further and turned around to rush towards Megrez Sims.
At the same time, Shep Ravenwood was battling two seventh-rank Sacred Realm disciples from Blood Sect not far away.
When Shep Ravenwood saw Billy at that moment, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Although Billy hadn’t called him grandfather yet, in his heart, he had already recognized Billy as his grandson and was always proud of him!
“Who are you?” Elias Delaney looked at Billy and asked in a deep voice.
“The one who will take your life!” Billy coldly replied.
“You arrogant brat!” Elias Delaney glanced at Billy and continued, “You’re wet behind the ears but dare to speak so boldly. You…”
Before he could finish speaking, an arc-shaped blade had already slashed in front of him.
“You’re seeking death!” Elias Delaney furrowed his brows and raised his hand to block it.
In the next moment, Billy’s wrist continued to rotate, and the fury blade created a powerful net of attacks that enveloped Elias Delaney.
Elias Delaney furrowed his brows tightly and raised his hand to unleash waves of energy to block the attacks. A muffled sound echoed in the air.
Just as he was about to catch his breath, Billy had retracted the fury blade and tapped his hand towards Elias Delaney.
The Celestial Black Finger instantly formed, surging with energy like a raging tide and displaying a magnificent aura.
“Celestial Black Finger?!” Elias Delaney’s pupils contracted in shock.
Clearly, he recognized this as the unique skill of Star Studded Sect from years ago.
As soon as he spoke, he quickly activated his full strength to defend against it.
Boom!
A deafening sound reverberated through the air. The void trembled as waves of energy surged.
At the same time, Elias Delaney spewed out a mouthful of blood and was pushed back hundreds of meters. His face turned pale, and his aura became chaotic.
Although he was a first-rank Holy Realm cultivator, he had already sustained many injuries during his battle with Sebastian Fennimore. His Chi power had also been depleted significantly.
Even though he had absorbed some essence from Rode earlier and had partially recovered his Chi power, under the premise that he wasn’t fully prepared, it wasn’t easy for him to withstand Billy’s ultimate move.
After that strike, his combat power dropped to less than eighty percent.
“Who are you? How do you know ‘Celestial Black Finger’?” Elias Delaney slightly calmed down and asked while showing a hint of fear in his eyes.
In his current condition, if he were to face another strike like the one before from Billy, he would definitely be heavily injured.
“Go ask the King of Hell!” Billy replied coldly and then struck out with a palm wind once again.
“You brat, I will make sure you suffer!” Elias Delaney roared angrily as he dodged to the side.
Then, his eyes narrowed as he grabbed with both hands to the sides.
Immediately after that, he saw dozens of Ether Mountain elders and members from Blood and Devil Sects who were fighting around them being pulled by a powerful force.
Even if they tried to resist with all their strength, it was futile. Their bodies were immobilized as if they were acupunctured.
“Lord Dragon, he wants to absorb their essence. Take action quickly and don’t let him succeed!” Shep Ravenwood shouted loudly from nearby.
“Don’t worry, he won’t succeed!” Billy replied loudly.
There was no need for Shep Ravenwood’s reminder; he naturally knew Elias Delaney’s intentions.
Without any hesitation, Billy opened his hands wide and activated Dragon Soaring Skies directly.
In an instant, the entire void was stirred up by nine divine dragons. Fierce winds howled, and lightning flickered.
“Go to hell!” In just a blink of an eye, after Nine Dragons Unite, Billy said in a deep voice.
The phantom dragon carried earth-shattering energy as it surged forward directly towards Elias Delaney.
Even before Billy launched his attack, Elias Delaney felt a terrifying aura of death enveloping him.
So he no longer cared about absorbing others’ essence and quickly let go of his hands to activate his strongest move to meet it head-on.
A thunderous sound spread through the void.
The dozen or so Ether Mountain elders and members from Blood and Devil Sects were sent flying hundreds of meters away. They crashed onto the ground and spewed out large mouthfuls of blood.
