At first, Calvin Ponce was furious when he saw Alfonso Ponce running away with the Nine Dragons Cauldron. He thought he must catch Alfonso Ponce.
But after calming down, he realized something was wrong!
Not to mention that Alfonso Ponce had followed him for so many years and was unlikely to betray him for a treasure.
Moreover, Alfonso Ponce’s entire family was still in The Hallowed Court. It was improbable that he would risk the lives of nearly a hundred of his descendants for a treasure. It doesn’t make sense!
“You had so many people attacking me to take the cauldron. Could I not hand it over? Should I keep the cauldron and lose my life?” Billy shrugged in response.
“Before I knew your strength, I thought you might have handed over the Nine Dragons Cauldron out of fear of being attacked by everyone,” Calvin Ponce said, looking at Billy.
“But now, do you think I still believe that?”
“With your combat power, none of those outside could withstand a single blow from you. How could you be forced to hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron?”
“I’m just curious about what you did to the High Priest to make him react that way!”
“Want to know?” Billy smiled faintly. “Take my final move, and I’ll tell you the answer!”
“Alright!” Calvin Ponce responded. “Let’s not waste any more time. One last move to decide the winner!”
As he spoke, a tremendous aura erupted from him, causing ripples throughout the space.
Billy felt the surrounding void begin to twist and then experienced a suffocating sensation.
In an instant, black lightning surrounded Calvin Ponce, and within moments, he was completely enveloped in it.
The next moment, Billy sensed the surrounding void being sliced apart, revealing numerous cracks.
If not for his strong physical body, he felt he would have been cut into pieces.
Even so, his skin already bore several blood lines, with blood spurting out.
Without hesitation, Billy leaped a thousand meters away and activated his ultimate move.
Demonic Tribulation!
Soon, the Demon Spirit appeared, holding a black scythe.
As the Demon Spirit appeared, Calvin Ponce also moved!
He was now wrapped in countless bolts of lightning, forming a massive sphere that surged towards Billy like a meteorite.
Wherever it passed, the void shattered!
“Cackle…” The Demon Spirit let out a raspy sound as it swung its scythe, sending out countless cold rays.
In the next moment, the black lightning was sliced into segments and floated into the air.
Then, the Demon Spirit’s body merged into the spherical lightning…
A deafening explosion echoed through the void, and a terrifying shockwave sent Billy flying five or six kilometers away, spitting blood into the air.
At the same time, Calvin Ponce floated away like a leaf, with all the black lightning and the Demon Spirit dissipating into nothingness.
The space returned to calm, and the oppressive aura vanished.
Billy took two healing pills and flew towards Calvin Ponce.
Calvin Ponce was covered in dozens of knife wounds, his body drenched in blood, with fresh blood continuously flowing from his mouth. His face was pale, and his breath was weak.
Clearly, taking on ‘Demonic Tribulation’ head-on had brought him to the brink of death.
“What… what kind of technique is that…” Calvin Ponce managed to say a few words when he saw Billy.
His face was filled with shock; he never expected Billy to have such a powerful trump card!
“Have you heard of the Demonic Clan?” Billy asked calmly.
“Demonic Clan?” Calvin Ponce responded again. “That move just now… was it ‘Demonic Tribulation’ from the Demonic Clan?”
Although he had never seen ‘Demonic Tribulation’ in person before, he had heard of this ultimate skill from the Demonic Clan. He just didn’t expect it to be so powerful.
“Bingo!” Billy shrugged.
After a brief pause, he continued.
“Didn’t you want to know why your High Priest suddenly ran away? I’ll tell you now!”
“The Nine Dragons Cauldron never left my control. I let it enter his body just to control him!”
“As expected!” Calvin Ponce said with difficulty. “You took him away to prevent him from restraining Miss Sanaa…”
“You’re not too stupid!” Billy replied indifferently.
Calvin Ponce spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from mid-air as his soul ascended.
“Any last words?” Billy asked calmly as he looked at Calvin Ponce’s soul.
“Aren’t you being too arrogant?” The soul glanced at Billy.
“If I’m not mistaken, using ‘Demonic Tribulation’ consumes a lot of your true energy, right?”
“You can’t use your full power again in a short time, and you’re also injured.”
“Even though my physical body is gone, you can’t contend with my soul…”
Before he finished speaking, a dark figure shot out from Billy’s body.
It was Dark Puppet!
“What is that?” Calvin Ponce’s soul was stunned and instinctively struck out with a palm.
Dark Puppet didn’t retreat or use any tricks; it simply collided directly.
With a muffled sound, Calvin Ponce’s soul was sent flying seven or eight kilometers away, becoming even weaker.
His soul had already been severely injured by ‘Demon Spirit,’ making him no match for Dark Puppet.
The most despairing part was that before he could see what Dark Puppet was clearly, he felt a powerful suction pulling him into an abyss.
“I can’t affect it!” A roar echoed through Heavenly Xuan Space.
Then everything returned to calm!
The Hallowed Court Hall Lord officially disappeared from this star domain without leaving a trace!
This seemed somewhat cruel!
The Hallowed Court had stayed outside Boundary River for so long and had finally destroyed Heaven Alliance to enter this star domain officially.
They had hoped that after a year or two, once The Hallowed Court became the true master of this seventh-tier star domain, they could spend a few more years strengthening The Hallowed Court.
In time, they might even send people to explore an eighth-tier star domain!
But now, everything ended before it even began!
In hindsight, they might as well have stayed outside Boundary River; at least they could have preserved The Hallowed Court!
Human greed is insatiable and can lead to trouble!
Billy adjusted his breath and then withdrew Heavenly Xuan Space. Calvin Ponce’s body fell onto the stage center.
The battle outside had also ended.
Except for the soul suspended by Sanaa’s sword in mid-air, everyone else from The Hallowed Court had perished without exception.
“Hall Lord…”
Seeing Calvin Ponce’s body, the soul in mid-air cried out in grief.
