As soon as the words were spoken, Cole West swiftly moved towards Billy. He reached out, intending to immobilize Billy and extract the Nine Dragons Cauldron from his body. However, things did not go as he had planned. He suddenly found himself in an unknown realm and realized that his cultivation had been suppressed to the first-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm.
“What is this place?” Cole West frowned, feeling a sense of unease.
“Heavenly Xuan Space!” Billy replied after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“What?!” Cole West’s pupils contracted. “The Heavenly Xuan Array Compass is with you?”
“Of course,” Billy said, tossing two Chi Condensing Pills into his mouth.
“Perfect!” Cole West’s eyes narrowed. “If I kill you, both the Nine Dragons Cauldron and the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass will be mine!”
“Let’s see if you have the strength for that!” Billy shrugged.
“I’ll show you right now!” Cole West charged at Billy, knowing he needed to end the fight quickly while Billy was still injured. If he waited for Billy to recover, he would be the one to die.
Billy didn’t waste any more words and unleashed a Heavenly Fury Slash. Their attacks collided, sending Billy flying seven or eight hundred meters back, blood gushing from his mouth. His previous injuries had reduced his combat power to the second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, and a single Heavenly Fury Slash could only match a late-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm, unable to withstand Cole West’s attack.
After knocking Billy away, Cole West didn’t relent and sent waves of energy surging towards him. This time, Billy didn’t engage head-on but retreated quickly. He needed time to recover his strength.
“Let’s see where you can run!” Cole West shouted, raising his hand to form a barrier to trap Billy. To his surprise, he found that he couldn’t form a barrier within the Heavenly Xuan Space. Without wasting time, he continued to chase after Billy.
“Billy, I just remembered, I can help you recover your strength faster now!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
“Really? Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Billy twitched his mouth and said, “Let’s try it!”
“Alright!” Purple Spirit responded.
As expected, with Purple Spirit’s help, Billy’s recovery speed far surpassed that of the Chi Condensing Pills. Within a few breaths, he had already advanced a level.
“Not bad!” Billy couldn’t help but praise, surprised by Purple Spirit’s ability.
“I discovered recently that my source energy can directly convert into your Chi power,” Purple Spirit explained. “It must be because I’ve been in your body for so long that our energies have merged.”
“Great!” Billy replied again.
After stabilizing himself, he turned to face the approaching Cole West. “Goodbye!”
With those words, he gripped his blade and slashed out. Phantom Blade Technique! With Purple Spirit’s assistance, his power had nearly recovered to the third-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm and could be boosted to the fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm with his bloodline power. A single phantom blade was enough to instantly kill a first-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm expert!
Without any suspense, after the blade light passed, Cole West’s head flew into the sky. The sect master of Frost Palace, an eighth-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm expert, had fallen!
After dealing with Cole West, Billy took a moment to catch his breath before heading towards Mitchell Monroe’s location. Mitchell Monroe and Jedidiah West were both severely injured from their battle, with their combat power reduced to sixty or seventy percent. With Billy joining them, it only took three rounds before a blade light flashed past Jedidiah West’s waist, splitting his body in two.
Five minutes later, the battle ended with all high-level combatants of Frost Palace dead. Billy then explained the situation with the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass to Mitchell Monroe and Samuel. They were shocked but finally understood why Billy had been so confident in defeating Cole West.
With Billy’s skills and the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, even opponents at the early stage of Entering Ancestry Realm wouldn’t pose a threat!
A few minutes later, the four of them landed in the courtyard of Frost Palace. News of Cole West and Jedidiah West’s deaths had already spread, throwing the courtyard into chaos as many people fled like scattered birds and beasts. With both sect masters and all high-level combatants dead, Frost Palace was finished; staying would only mean certain death.
“Grand Elder, Elder Samuel, take action!” Billy looked at Mitchell Monroe and Samuel. “Anyone above Entering Dao Realm in this courtyard should have their cultivation abolished!”
“Understood!” The two nodded and dispersed.
At that moment, a wave of energy surged towards Billy from a mid-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm man. “Get lost!” Billy’s eyes narrowed as he casually swept out with his palm.
With a loud crash, the man was sent flying several hundred meters before crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. As he struggled to get up, Billy flicked his fingers, sending several strands of energy into the man’s body, sealing his cultivation completely.
“Where are the two women you captured from City of the Unclaimed?” Billy walked up to the man and asked.
“What… what women?” The man’s eyes flickered with confusion.
Crack! Before he could finish speaking, Billy stomped down, shattering the man’s right knee.
“Ah…” The man screamed in pain. “In… in Sky Cold Palace…”
“Sky Cold Palace?” Billy frowned slightly. “Where is that?”
“Sky Cold Palace is where the old sect master is in seclusion…” The man replied.
“Why were Opal and Amber taken there?” Harleen frowned as well.
“The old sect master is injured… those two women have special physiques and bloodlines that can help him heal…” The man explained.
“What condition are Opal and Amber in now?” Harleen’s face turned pale upon hearing this.
“I… I don’t know…” The man shook his head.
“Where is Sky Cold Palace?” Billy’s expression darkened as killing intent surged around him.
“At the mountain peak!” The man pointed towards the back mountain.
“Lead the way!” Billy grabbed the man and flew towards the mountain peak with Harleen following closely behind.
At the snowy mountain peak stood an ice cave covering nearly ten thousand square meters. In the center of the cave was a circular ice pillar about four or five meters in diameter, where Opal and Amber sat back-to-back. Both were sealed in place with only their heads free to move, their faces showing signs of pain.
In four directions around the ice pillar stood four other ice pillars, each with a black-robed elder sitting cross-legged on top. All four elders had their hands extended forward, continuously channeling Chi power into Opal and Amber’s bodies.
“It’s almost done,” one elder said as he lowered his hands, followed by the other three stopping as well.
“I’ll go fetch the old sect master,” said the elder as he stood up and left.
