“I really dislike people who don’t keep their word!” Billy replied coldly.
As he spoke, he didn’t hold back. Gripping his wild blade, he formed the ‘Heaven Killer’ and slashed out.
The Thunder Blade was unstoppable. The bell and cauldron shattered with a roar, unable to resist. The blade’s light continued its path, flashing before the elder’s eyes in an instant.
“Watch out!” Bronson shouted.
At the same time, he raised his hand towards the direction of the blade’s light. The void twisted instantly, causing the blade’s light to pause slightly before the first-rank Supreme Source Realm elder.
However, in the next second, the blade’s light tore through the void, flashing past the elder’s throat. Blood spurted out.
Immediately, a soul body shot into the air as the physical body fell freely to the ground.
“You seek death!” Bronson roared angrily, attacking Billy.
He shouted loudly, “What are you waiting for? Attack! Kill them all!”
With his command, the others charged towards Harleen and her group.
“Kill!” Opal shouted, gripping her sword as she faced an eighth-rank Returning Source Realm elder.
Harleen and Casey also sprang into action, each engaging their opponents.
Meanwhile, a shadow darted from Billy and quickly rushed towards the first-rank Supreme Source Realm soul body.
It was Dark Puppet!
“Hmm?” Bronson was startled and shouted, “Darwin, run!”
Although he didn’t know what Dark Puppet was, the elder named Darwin was only a soul now, with greatly diminished strength. Staying would be dangerous.
As he shouted, the elder’s soul quickly retreated.
Dark Puppet wouldn’t let him escape easily, chasing after him with speed far surpassing his own.
“Stay!” Bronson said in a deep voice, raising his hand to attack Dark Puppet.
But before he could form a seal, he sensed a deadly aura approaching-it was Billy’s slash.
Without time to think, he quickly raised his hand to block it.
After a loud clash, both Billy and Bronson were thrown back a thousand meters.
Although Billy had slashed casually, his current strength made even a casual slash powerful enough to contend with late-stage Returning Source Realm. Bronson’s hasty defense resulted in a draw.
“I’m not willing!” As Bronson stabilized himself, the elder named Darwin screamed in agony.
Before he could finish his sentence, his soul was absorbed by Dark Puppet.
“Damn it!” Bronson roared in fury, turning to Billy with rage. “You will die!”
His eyes narrowed as an extreme cold aura burst from him.
In the next moment, all the water vapor within a kilometer condensed into a long spear.
The spear tore through the void, rapidly flashing towards Billy with chilling intent.
“You should have cherished the chance I gave you earlier. Too bad!” Billy’s voice reached Bronson’s ears.
As he spoke, Billy charged towards the spear, forming ‘Heaven Killer’.
The blade light shattered the spear instantly into countless ice shards. Bronson was thrown back one or two thousand meters, spitting blood.
Despair filled him as the weakened blade light slashed at him again.
Without much surprise, the blade light flashed past his neck. A head flew into the air with a look of shock on its face.
The soul body shot up but didn’t get far before Dark Puppet caught up.
“Spare me! I’ll tell you whatever you want to know…” Bronson shouted desperately.
“Sorry, too late!” Billy replied.
He ignored Bronson and called out to Opal nearby, “Opal, leave one alive!”
“Got it!” Opal responded loudly.
She had been fighting an eighth-rank Returning Source Realm elder and had almost won.
With her bloodline power activated, her cultivation could rise to third-rank Returning Source Realm. Using her trump card, she could defeat an eighth-rank Returning Source Realm opponent.
The elder’s strength had dropped significantly, leaving him barely able to defend himself.
In the next moment, a sword light flashed past the elder’s shoulder, severing an arm.
The elder groaned and was thrown back a thousand meters, his breath weak and face pale.
Before he could catch his breath, Opal caught up and struck him with her palm, sending him flying again.
Unable to hold on any longer, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
The battle ended after three to five minutes. Except for the elder whose arm Opal severed, everyone else was killed.
Dark Puppet and Stout gained the most. Dark Puppet absorbed the souls of two Supreme Source Realm experts, greatly enhancing his strength.
Stout collected their storage rings. Being from Upper Realm, their rings contained many valuable items that made Stout drool.
“You have guts to kill people from Yama King’s Palace. None of you will live…” The one-armed elder shouted at Billy and his group approaching him.
“Will you answer my questions directly or suffer first?” Billy asked calmly.
“What do you want to know?” The elder took a deep breath. He knew the consequences of being stubborn.
“Has something happened in Upper Realm recently?” Billy asked.
“In what aspect?” The elder responded with a question.
“You know about the trouble in Lower Realm. Heaven Alliance must know too. Why haven’t they sent anyone down?” Billy asked.
“I don’t know specifics, but something must have happened. Recently, Heaven Alliance experts have rarely been seen outside,” the elder replied.
“Do you know where Heaven Alliance headquarters is?” Billy asked.
“No,” the elder shook his head.
“Do you know about Heaven Alliance’s top experts?” Azure Dragon asked.
“No,” the elder shook his head again. “Their top experts and headquarters are unknown to outsiders.”
“But you know about Universe Palace?” Harleen asked.
“Yes,” the elder nodded.
“Has something happened there recently?” Harleen pressed on.
“Yes,” the elder nodded again. “Although I don’t know specifics, it’s certain that they have both internal and external troubles.”
“Where do the external troubles come from?” Billy frowned slightly and asked.
“I don’t know,” the elder shook his head. “Yama King’s Palace doesn’t deal with matters at their level.”
“In Upper Realm, which forces are stronger than Universe Palace?” White Tiger asked.
“As far as I know, except for Heaven Alliance, no other force can surpass Universe Palace if they use their trump cards,” the elder replied. “Of course, this is based on my knowledge and may not be entirely accurate.”
“Give me Universe Palace’s location!” Billy demanded again.
“I don’t know,” the elder shook his head again. “Many powerful forces in Upper Realm don’t reveal their headquarters’ locations. Most people don’t deliberately seek them out.”
After speaking, he seemed to remember something and looked at Billy. “If you want information, you can ask in Decadent City.”
“Decadent City?” Billy paused slightly. “A city in Upper Realm?”
