Jennifer led Billy and the others towards the exit.
Soon, they returned to the surface of the palace ruins in Demonic City.
“Ma’ma, what has happened outside during this time?” Casey asked Jennifer.
“The Hallowed Court and Heaven Alliance have gone to war!” Jennifer replied. “The entire Upper Realm has been dragged into the conflict, with various factions choosing sides. For the past two months, there has been chaos everywhere.”
“What is the current situation? Which side has the advantage?” Casey pressed.
“It’s evenly matched!” Jennifer continued. “There are two factions that have not yet joined the war. Both Hallowed Court and Heaven Alliance are trying to win them over. Their allegiance could directly influence the outcome.”
“Which two factions?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“Universe Palace and Heaven’s Tea House!” Jamal Clarke answered.
“Do you know the current situation of Universe Palace?” Harleen asked them.
“We only have a rough idea,” Jennifer responded. “The head of the Schroeder family has fallen, and Universe Palace has split. Miss Sanaa and her father’s branch remain neutral, while the other branch has allied with Heaven Alliance.”
“However, Heaven Alliance hasn’t given up on Miss Sanaa’s branch and is still watching them. The Hallowed Court is said to have sent people to contact them, so they are under a lot of pressure.”
“Ma’ma, is there any way to contact Miss Sanaa?” Billy asked.
“I’ve already found out the location of Universe Palace!” Jennifer replied.
“Really?” Billy and the others’ eyes lit up.
“Yes,” Jennifer nodded. “But it’s quite a distance from here. We need to return to Decadent City first, then use a teleportation channel to reach the nearest city to them, and then take a starship.”
“Let’s head back to Decadent City immediately!” Billy said.
“Alright!” everyone nodded.
“By the way, take these ten high-grade Mixing Essence Pills. They should be useful to you.” Billy took out ten Mixing Essence Pills from his storage ring and handed them to the two.
“High-grade Mixing Essence Pills?” Jennifer and Jamal Clarke were both surprised.
“These are personally refined by Boss, with a purity of ninety-nine percent!” Stout added.
“Ninety-nine percent?” Jamal Clarke exclaimed in disbelief.
Even with his knowledge and experience, he had never heard of anyone refining pills with such high purity!
Jennifer was also surprised but not by the purity of the pills. She knew Billy had the Yin-yang Infinite Furnace and a very special bloodline. He had already refined low-grade Mixing Essence Pills with ninety-nine percent purity some time ago. She was astonished that Billy had the formula for high-grade Mixing Essence Pills!
“Yes,” Billy smiled again.
“You really surprise me!” Jennifer paused before saying, “Ten pills are too many; two will suffice…”
“Just take them, I have more,” Billy interrupted her. “Give some to the elders when you see them next time!”
“Alright then, thank you!” Jennifer accepted them.
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Jamal Clarke bowed simultaneously.
“You’re welcome!” Billy responded with a smile.
After everyone entered the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space, White Feather carried Billy swiftly towards Decadent City.
A few hours later, White Feather arrived in the void several kilometers away from Decadent City.
At that moment, a loud noise came from a few kilometers away, followed by a figure in white robes being blasted three or four kilometers away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Not far from him, an old man stabilized himself after retreating a kilometer.
“Billy, should we go take a look?” White Feather asked.
“Yes,” Billy replied.
He vaguely felt that both figures seemed familiar but wasn’t sure due to the distance.
Soon, White Feather approached the white-robed elder, and Billy recognized him immediately.
It was Conor Stark, the Grand Elder of Heaven’s Tea House whom he had met before!
And the other person was also familiar-Kieran, the High King of Heaven Alliance!
“Mr. Billy?” Conor Stark exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing Billy. “You’re back in Decadent City?”
“Yes,” Billy nodded as he rose into the air from White Feather. “Elder Samuel, rest for a while and leave him to me!”
“Mr. Billy, he’s at the eighth-rank Supreme Source Realm. Be careful…” Conor Stark hesitated before speaking.
“No problem!” Billy interrupted him. “We’ll talk later!”
With that, he flew towards Kieran.
“Billy, should I intervene?” White Feather asked.
“No need! You rest for now!” Billy responded loudly as he walked forward.
“It’s you?” Kieran’s eyes flashed with coldness upon recognizing Billy. “You’ve come just in time; I was planning to seek you out!”
He hadn’t gotten over what happened last time!
Back then, he was worried that Billy would destroy his Heaven Alliance branch. Now, with no concerns holding him back, he was determined to kill Billy for revenge!
“Make your move!” Billy said calmly. “I’ll give you one chance to strike!”
“Ignorant child!” Kieran sneered coldly. “I’ll drive you in despair!”
As he spoke, an extremely violent aura erupted from him as his figure vanished from sight.
In an instant, he formed a rapidly spinning mark with his hand and hurled it towards Billy. The mark tore through the void as it approached.
“Is this all you’ve got?” Billy retorted as he gripped his blade and met the attack head-on.
A loud explosion ensued as the mark shattered, and both Billy and Kieran retreated a kilometer without sustaining significant injuries.
Kieran had underestimated Billy and only used seventy to eighty percent of his power.
Meanwhile, with his bloodline power activated, Billy’s cultivation could rise to the eighth-rank Returning Source Realm. Even without using Heaven Killer, he could withstand Kieran’s attack.
“I really underestimated you!” Kieran narrowed his eyes slightly after stabilizing himself.
“This is your last chance. If you don’t use your trump card now, you won’t get another opportunity!” Billy replied calmly.
“Let’s see what you’re relying on then!” Kieran retorted once more.
With that, his aura surged again.
In no time, fierce winds howled and lightning flashed within a radius of several kilometers.
A massive hand materialized in the void, surrounded by thunderbolts and obscuring the sky.
“Die!”
Kieran shouted as he brought down the hand like a small mountain towards Billy. The void roared and churned with immense force.
“Mr. Billy, be careful!” Conor Stark’s face changed slightly as he sensed the power of this attack from afar.
“It’s too weak!” Billy’s voice rang out as he formed ‘Heaven Killer’ and slashed out with his blade.
A deafening explosion followed as the giant hand shattered and the void collapsed simultaneously.
To Kieran’s horror, Billy’s blade light pierced through his attack and continued towards him.
“How is this possible…” Kieran’s pupils shrank to pinpoints as a dense aura of death enveloped him.
He wanted to dodge but it was too late.
The blade light sliced through his neck, sending his head flying into the sky…
