“You think you can fight whenever you want and stop whenever you want? Do you really believe the world belongs to your Heaven Alliance?” Billy couldn’t help but retort.
“I’m warning you, if you dare to kill me, no matter where you run, as long as you’re in this universe, Heaven Alliance won’t let you go!” Neil Armstrong shouted as he fled.
“I’ll be waiting!” Billy responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed out with his blade.
Heaven Killer!
“You deserve to die!” Sensing the intense danger, Neil Armstrong yelled.
The blade’s light flashed, and a head flew into the sky, blood gushing like a fountain!
However, in the next moment, something surprising happened. As Neil Armstrong’s headless body fell from mid-air, a shadowy figure identical to him emerged from his body.
“What does this mean?” Billy was stunned.
It was his first time encountering such a situation!
Even with his head cut off, the soul could still survive?!
“What… what kind of blade is that?” Neil Armstrong’s soul trembled as he spoke. “Why can it even harm my soul?”
“Billy, that’s his soul form. Don’t let him escape!” Purple Spirit’s voice came through; she had already slain her two opponents.
At the same time, Bradyn Harmon shouted, “Mr. Billy, act quickly! Don’t let his soul escape; otherwise, he can easily revive!”
As they spoke, Neil Armstrong’s soul had already fled several kilometers away.
“Understood!” Billy responded and chased after him.
His blade, modified by Tommy, was perfect for slaying souls.
A regular blade might cut the flesh but would struggle to harm the soul. Even if it had some effect, it would be minimal.
“Billy, don’t use your blade!” Just as Billy was about to strike, Purple Spirit’s voice rang out again.
“Don’t waste such a good soul; summon Dark Puppet!”
“Right!” Hearing Purple Spirit’s suggestion, Billy’s eyes lit up, and he quickly summoned Dark Puppet.
As Purple Spirit mentioned, a soul of this level was an excellent supplement for Dark Puppet!
In the next moment, Dark Puppet shot out like a black lightning bolt, moving at incredible speed and unaffected by ‘Skybinder.’
Typically, when a person’s soul exists independently of their body, its combat power is about sixty to seventy percent of its full strength.
Neil Armstrong’s combat power had already dropped significantly before Billy decapitated him, so his soul’s combat power was at most at the early Prime Source Realm level.
Moreover, under the influence of ‘Skybinder,’ it was even weaker!
“What is this thing?!” Neil Armstrong’s soul shouted as he fled.
It was his first time seeing Dark Puppet and had no idea what it was!
Although he didn’t recognize it, he had a bad feeling that this thing was not friendly.
Before he could finish speaking, Dark Puppet had closed the distance to within a few hundred meters and punched out.
Neil Armstrong’s soul wanted to dodge but couldn’t in time and could only raise his hand to block.
With a loud bang, Neil Armstrong was sent flying backward, appearing weaker by several degrees.
To his horror, before he could stabilize himself, Dark Puppet was already in front of him again.
Then there was no more!
Dark Puppet opened its mouth and inhaled forcefully, sucking Neil Armstrong’s soul directly into its body!
Soul extinguished!
In his final moments, he truly regretted it!
If he had known Billy was so monstrous, he would never have provoked him. Now, not only did he fail to obtain the Nine Dragons Cauldron, but he also vanished entirely from this universe!
He truly hated it!
Soon after, an immensely powerful aura erupted from Dark Puppet’s body, its form trembling uncontrollably.
“Billy, put Dark Puppet away. It seems to have eaten too much and needs time to digest!” Purple Spirit shouted.
Why did it feel like Purple Spirit? Always overeating!
“Billy, are you okay?” Purple Spirit asked as she approached.
“I’m fine!” Billy replied after wiping the blood from his mouth.
“Good. I’ll continue my seclusion then!” Purple Spirit said before merging back into Billy’s body.
Soon after, Casey and the Harmon family members arrived through the air.
“Mr. Billy is indeed a rare genius; truly admirable!” Bradyn Harmon couldn’t help but praise Billy.
The other members of the Harmon family were equally shocked.
Neil Armstrong could separate his body and soul, indicating a Returning Source Realm cultivation level. Yet Billy, only at the mid-Supreme Ancestry Realm level, managed to annihilate both his body and soul!
Who would believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?!
This gave them more confidence; following Billy might indeed be the hope for the Harmon family!
“Elder Bradyn, why could his soul separate from his body?” Casey asked Bradyn Harmon.
“You’ve just come from a mid-tier star domain, so you might not know,” Bradyn Harmon explained. “Once one’s cultivation reaches the Returning Source Realm or higher, they can separate their soul from their body.”
“In other words, a Returning Source Realm expert only truly falls when both their body and soul are destroyed.”
“Otherwise, their soul can take over another body or even reconstruct their own.”
“They can reconstruct their own body?” Everyone was stunned.
“Yes!” Bradyn Harmon nodded. “The higher one’s cultivation level, the faster they can reconstruct their body!”
“So for experts above the Returning Source Realm, losing an arm or leg is no big deal because it will regrow quickly.”
“It’s said that at a certain level, one can regrow an arm within a few breaths.”
Truly eye-opening!
“Elder Bradyn, does that mean experts above the Returning Source Realm can achieve immortality?” Soul Chaser asked after some thought.
“No,” Bradyn Harmon smiled and shook his head. “Because even souls degrade over time; it’s just that higher cultivation slows this process.”
“Alright,” Soul Chaser replied.
“Where is Stout?” Billy looked around and asked.
“Over there!” Judge pointed to the ground below where Stout was happily collecting storage rings.
“Heaven Alliance seems quite wealthy!” Stout said as he approached them while wiping his mouth.
“Boss, let’s take down more Heaven Alliance members in the future; they have lots of high-level treasures!”
Billy then led everyone into the teleportation channel.
A few hours later, they arrived at Demonic Clan.
“Have we arrived?”
Jennifer greeted them with Travis Clarke and Philip Clarke by her side.
Billy had already informed Jennifer about the Harmon family yesterday, so they weren’t surprised.
“Sorry for the trouble!” Billy responded with a smile.
“Bradyn Harmon greets Miss Jennifer!” Bradyn Harmon stepped forward and bowed deeply to Jennifer.
He humbled himself greatly!
After all, in every aspect, the Harmon family was far inferior to Demonic Clan!
Although Billy said they were here to form an alliance with Demonic Clan, Bradyn knew well that they were seeking Demonic Clan’s protection. He had to position himself correctly!
“No need for formalities!” Jennifer waved her hand. “Since you’ve agreed to ally with us Demonic Clan, we’re family now. No need to be so reserved!”
“Thank you, Miss Jennifer!” Bradyn Harmon bowed again.
“Show them to their quarters.” After a few more exchanges, Jennifer instructed Philip Clarke.
“Understood!” Philip Clarke nodded and led the Harmon family members towards the valley behind them through the air.
“I heard Aarav Callahan was killed by you?” Jennifer then turned to Billy and asked.
