“Have you heard of Heaven’s Scourge?” the white-haired elder asked.
“Heaven’s Scourge?” Billy paused and then shook his head. “Never heard of it!”
He truly had never heard of Heaven’s Scourge.
“What you saw earlier was the scene of Heaven’s Scourge about to descend!” the white-haired elder continued.
“When Heaven’s Scourge descends, no living being can survive. This universe will become a true Death Realm, empty except for cosmic debris!”
“In the face of disaster, everyone is on edge, and even plants and trees are alarmed. This is true not only for humans but for all living beings,” the white-haired elder spoke again.
“All living beings want to stockpile enough resources before Heaven’s Scourge arrives to resist it.”
“This idea is not only naive but also laughable. If Heaven’s Scourge truly descends, how could they possibly resist it?”
“In the face of Heaven’s Scourge, all living beings are as insignificant as dust…”
“You mean that Heaven’s Scourge will descend upon our universe?” Billy frowned slightly.
“Yes!” the white-haired elder nodded.
“When?” Billy frowned again.
“The timing is uncertain!” the white-haired elder shook his head.
“Because the so-called Heaven’s Scourge is caused by the selfish behavior of all living beings. Without greed, there would be no Heaven’s Scourge!”
“So, the greater the greed, the sooner Heaven’s Scourge will arrive!”
“As they say, one brings about their own destruction!”
“Why are you telling me this?” Billy paused before asking, “Or rather, what does this have to do with me?”
“Every living being in this universe is related to this matter!” the white-haired elder responded. “Haven’t you heard that when the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact?”
“Alright!” Billy shrugged.
The elder was indeed not wrong!
“Of course, compared to other billions of living beings, you’re related to this matter more closely!” the white-haired elder spoke again.
“What do you mean?” Billy was taken aback once more.
“You’ll understand when you reach the ninth-tier star domain!” the white-haired elder responded. “For now, I’ll tell you this much. Saying more might put too much pressure on you!”
“I left this soul imprint here to wait for you because I have a set of blade techniques to teach you!” the white-haired elder said again.
“Blade techniques?” Billy was surprised.
“Yes!” the white-haired elder nodded. “Lend me your blade!”
After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a wave of spiritual power swept out.
The next moment, to Billy’s surprise, the Blood Shadow Blade he kept in his storage ring flew out and landed in the white-haired elder’s hand.
“I’ll show you the power of this slash first!” the white-haired elder said, gripping the blade and slashing towards the void.
There were no tricks, just a very ordinary slash!
However, at the moment he struck, the sky instantly darkened, and the entire void was filled with an overwhelming pressure. Even Billy couldn’t help but shiver.
The next moment, a crack hundreds of kilometers long appeared in the void, with dark matter seeping out from it.
Moreover, unlike what Billy had seen before, this crack did not heal under the law of heaven and earth.
This slash seemed to have bypassed the law of heaven and earth, leaving the void unrepaired for a long time.
At the same time, Billy could hear faint roars and screams coming from within the crack. Though they sounded distant, he was certain he wasn’t mistaken.
“Do you know where that slash was aimed?” the white-haired elder asked Billy.
“What do you mean?” Billy was taken aback.
“Have you heard of Flame Hall?” the white-haired elder asked again.
“Flame Hall?” Billy was taken aback once more. “I’ve heard of it!”
After a slight pause, he tentatively asked, “You wouldn’t tell me that your slash just now was aimed at Flame Hall, would you?”
After saying that, he found his own question ridiculous. How could that be possible?
“I’ve long disliked them. A bunch of scoundrels who bully the weak and oppress others while being insatiably greedy!” The white-haired elder nodded in response.
Hearing this, Billy almost choked on his own saliva.
“You… you’re serious?” After finally catching his breath, Billy asked.
“Do I look like I’m joking with you?” the white-haired elder retorted.
Billy couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his face full of shock.
He had previously learned about Flame Hall’s location. Although it wasn’t particularly far from here, it was at least several million miles away.
The elder’s slash had directly spanned millions of miles?!
This… “Don’t be too surprised. When you reach the ninth-tier star domain, you’ll understand that such power is not uncommon,” the white-haired elder continued.
“A true expert can penetrate several star domains with a single slash!”
“It’s similar to someone being able to tear through space directly!” the white-haired elder added.
“Alright!” Billy took a deep breath and replied.
“Of course, with your current cultivation level, you’re far from reaching that height. Don’t think too much about it for now,” the white-haired elder said.
“I’ll pass on the blade techniques to you. Spend the next month here practicing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
“In my estimation, if you can truly comprehend this slash and practice it to Minor Ascension Realm, with your current cultivation level, you’ll be able to kill opponents in the early to mid stages of Controlled Kun Realm!”
“However, because your cultivation level is too low, your true energy will be completely drained after one slash!”
“So unless absolutely necessary, don’t use it!”
After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly again, and a stream of information entered Billy’s mind through his forehead.
“Thank you, sir!” Billy bowed to the elder after roughly reading through the information.
Although he didn’t know who the elder was or why he had sought him out,
he could tell that the elder had no ill intentions towards him.
Moreover, Miss Fairy had sent him here, so it definitely wouldn’t harm him. Even though he wasn’t familiar with Fairy, he trusted Sanaa!
“Familiarize yourself with the blade techniques first. Then I’ll demonstrate and break down the movements for you,” the white-haired elder responded.
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
Time rewound a few minutes earlier.
In Flame Hall’s sect courtyard, inside a palace hall, over a dozen members of Flame Hall’s Elder Council were seated.
Seated at the head was Flame Hall’s sect master Davin Baker, his face dark with anger and killing intent radiating from him.
He had been in seclusion for some time and had just emerged today, only to learn that his son had been killed in the seventh-tier star domain.
In his rage upon hearing this news, he had directly blasted a Flame Hall disciple who reported it into a blood mist.
“Sect Master, please restrain your grief!” an elder said to Davin Baker.
“Great Elder, are you sure Billy has come to the eighth-tier star domain?” Davin Baker turned to an old man on his left and asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, Sect Master,” the Great Elder nodded.
“After arriving in the eighth-tier star domain, he destroyed three branches of Zenith Sect and had a conflict with Zenith Sect in Endless City two days ago, killing many of their people.”
“If nothing unexpected happens, he should still be in Endless City now!”
“Very well!” Davin Baker said coldly.
“Notify everyone to keep an eye on him. I’m heading to Endless City! He dared to kill my son; I will grind his bones to dust!”
“Understood!” The Great Elder nodded and took out a sound transmission stone from his body.
“Hmm?!”
At that moment, Davin Baker frowned and quickly flashed towards the door.
The other elders also sensed an overwhelming killing intent and hurriedly followed without hesitation…
