“Forget it, Demonic Ghost is not easy to deal with, let’s not complicate things!” Fairy responded.
“Alright!” Sanaa shrugged.
Then, everyone descended to the ground, followed by Death Sovereign and a few members of the Demon Guard Squad.
As soon as they landed, Stout pulled Judge and Soul Chaser to start working.
While collecting storage rings, he clicked his tongue, “Wow, we’re rich now, who knew the Nightshade Clan was so wealthy!”
“Have you made up your mind?” Fairy then looked at Death Sovereign and asked.
“I am willing to submit!” Death Sovereign took a deep breath and bowed.
For her, there was no other choice unless she was willing to face complete annihilation.
“Where is the Skyward Talisman?” Sanaa asked.
“In the clan leader’s storage ring!” Death Sovereign pointed to the two halves of a body not far away.
“Miss Sanaa, what is the Skyward Talisman? It sounds cool, but what does it do exactly?” Azure Dragon asked.
Harleen and Casey also looked at Sanaa, clearly hearing about the Skyward Talisman for the first time.
“Do you want to go to the ninth-tier star domain?” Sanaa asked with a faint smile.
“Miss Sanaa, do you mean the Skyward Talisman is a pass to the ninth-tier star domain?” Azure Fang asked.
“Sort of!” Sanaa nodded and explained.
“There are three ways to go from the eighth-tier star domain to the ninth-tier star domain: one is to tear through the void directly, the second is through a wormhole, and the third is via Heaven’s Ladder.”
“You can forget about tearing through the void directly; probably only the one inside the Nine Dragons Cauldron has that power.”
“Miss Sanaa, isn’t there a teleportation channel to the ninth-tier star domain?” Ivy asked.
“No!” Sanaa shook her head and added, “You can think of Heaven’s Ladder as a form of teleportation channel.”
“Got it!” Ivy pondered and continued to ask, “What about the wormhole? Is it dangerous?”
“Don’t even think about the wormhole!” Fairy interjected, “The danger inside is so great that even I might not come out alive!”
“Moreover, there’s another risk with wormholes; you might end up in a parallel universe and never be able to return.”
“So exaggerated?” Casey and the others couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Miss Fairy, is Heaven’s Ladder guarded, requiring a pass? Or does it need the Skyward Talisman to open some teleportation channel?” Harleen asked.
“Both!” Fairy replied.
“First, you need to show the Skyward Talisman to the guardian of Heaven’s Ladder to qualify to step on it. Once at the teleportation platform, you need the Skyward Talisman to open the channel.”
Hearing this, everyone finally understood.
“Stout, bring over his storage ring!” Sanaa pointed to the Nightshade Clan leader’s corpse and shouted.
“Got it!” Stout replied and quickly ran over to pick up the storage ring and examined it.
Immediately, he drooled, “Wow! Did he pack the entire Nightshade Clan’s treasury into this storage ring?”
“Miss Sanaa, there are too many things in here; I don’t know which one is the Skyward Talisman. Can you check?” Stout handed over the storage ring.
Sanaa scanned the storage ring with her mental power and took out a semi-transparent object.
It looked like a compass but its material was unclear. It was covered with dense talismans and exuded an ancient aura.
“Miss Sanaa, is this the Skyward Talisman?” Casey asked, “Is it rare?”
“The Skyward Talisman is issued by the ninth-tier star domain every few hundred to nearly a thousand years!” Sanaa nodded in response.
“Before this, most of the Skyward Talismans in the eighth-tier star domain had already been used. The one from Nightshade Clan remained because it was sealed here.”
“I see!” Billy finally understood why they had to come to Nightshade Clan for the Skyward Talisman.
“Miss Sanaa, how many people can one Skyward Talisman take at a time?” Casey asked.
“A maximum of one hundred people!” Fairy answered for Sanaa and then looked at Death Sovereign again, “Besides Demonic Ghost, how many Nightshade Clan members are there?”
“Around ten thousand!” Death Sovereign replied.
“Those people are your responsibility. Stay in Shadowfen Depths until you have purged their demonic nature!” Fairy instructed again.
“Understood!” Death Sovereign bowed in response.
“Let’s go!” Fairy then led everyone into the air.
A few hours later, they emerged from the stone tablet at the entrance of Shadowfen Depths.
Fairy and Sanaa reinforced the seal at the entrance so that Death Sovereign and her clan wouldn’t be able to leave for a thousand years.
“Miss Fairy, have you heard anything about Gathering of Immortals Pavilion on your way here?” Billy asked Fairy.
Before entering Abyssal Depths, Gathering of Immortals Pavilion had already encountered trouble. However, he hadn’t had time to inquire about it due to his concern for Sanaa’s safety.
Gathering of Immortals Pavilion was the first friendly force he encountered in the eighth-tier star domain, so he wanted to know if they were safe now.
“Don’t worry, Gathering of Immortals Pavilion is fine!” Fairy paused and then briefly described what had happened outside Abyssal Depths to Billy.
After hearing her words, Billy felt relieved.
Before coming to Abyssal Depths, Fairy had gone to Ancestral Grounds and helped clear out several hostile forces. Naturally, Gathering of Immortals Pavilion was safe now.
Additionally, Greta had led Azure Clan members out of their sealed space.
Under Fairy’s leadership, Azure Clan and Gathering of Immortals Pavilion formed an alliance with Ancestral Grounds to jointly govern that part of the star domain.
“Miss Fairy, where are we going now?” Stout asked Fairy. “Can we go climb Heaven’s Ladder?”
“Let’s wait a bit longer!” Fairy thought for a moment before replying.
“Before climbing Heaven’s Ladder, you should all improve your cultivation levels. Otherwise, even if you reach the ninth-tier star domain, you’ll only be bullied!”
“Miss Fairy, we aren’t that weak, right?” Stout continued.
“Indeed, you’re not that weak,” Fairy glanced at him. “You’re extremely weak!”
That day, they landed in an open mountainous area ten thousand miles away from Abyssal City. Then Sanaa found a place to undergo her tribulation. With her previous accumulation, she broke through to Entering God Realm without any suspense.
Moreover, with Fairy’s help, she directly advanced to three-rank Entering God Realm!
Billy was no exception. With the help of his bloodline power, he refined two Dragon Void Fruits-one black and one white.
The Three-Clawed Dragon hadn’t lied; these two Dragon Void Fruits contained terrifying energy. Before he could fully refine them, his cultivation level reached the threshold for undergoing tribulation.
After resting for a few hours on-site, he faced Thunder Tribulation. Although his process wasn’t as smooth as Sanaa’s, he still managed to get through it safely in the end.
A few days after successfully undergoing tribulation, he fully refined the energy of Dragon Void Fruits. With Fairy’s help, his cultivation level finally stabilized at three-rank Mystic Kun Realm!
Now, when he activated his bloodline power, his cultivation level could rise to sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm.
In the following days, besides consolidating his cultivation level, Billy began practicing Death Realm…
