In the next moment, the character ‘Meteor’ descended forcefully, and after a loud noise, all eight of the opponents were sent flying.
Except for the three early-stage Heavenly Empyrean Realm men, the bodies of the others fell from mid-air, their souls soaring into the sky with expressions of shock on their faces.
At the same time, Dark Puppet flashed out of Billy’s body, and two souls that hadn’t reacted yet were sucked into its body.
“Let’s go!” One of the second-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm men’s expression changed, and he turned around and fled towards the back.
The other two hesitated for a moment before quickly following suit.
The three of them clearly understood that they had encountered a formidable opponent. If they didn’t leave now, their souls would be in grave danger.
“Your storage rings are still here!” Stout spoke as he chased after them.
“Stout, come back!” Billy shouted.
Just as Billy shouted, dozens of transparent spears appeared in front of them again, swiftly thrusting towards the group.
Stout hesitated for a moment before quickly retreating. With Sky Armor enhancing his speed, he was no slower than a martial artist with Heavenly Empyrean Realm cultivation.
Although the three men sensed the danger, their reaction speeds were significantly slower due to their injuries. They wanted to dodge, but they were powerless to do so.
One by one, the three men were impaled by several transparent spears, blood gushing out as their bodies instantly perished and their souls soared into the sky.
At that moment, a transparent figure quickly flashed towards the three souls.
However, before it could reach them, a blade aura unleashed by Billy had already flashed past it.
Ever since the appearance of those people from Heavenly Palace earlier, Purple Spirit had already warned him that there was a Tree Spirit approaching. That’s why he had been waiting for its appearance.
That was also the reason why he didn’t let Stout chase after those three men earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let them go so easily.
After the blade aura passed, the Tree Spirit was sent flying hundreds of feet away, its image becoming blurry and clearly injured.
The Tree Spirit probably knew it wasn’t a match for Billy and stabilized its figure. It no longer paid any attention to the souls of the three men and quickly flashed towards the left.
However, Billy naturally wouldn’t let it escape so easily. He raised his hand and formed a Void Prison, trapping it in mid-air.
The Tree Spirit crashed into the cage with violent waves of energy, but its strength was limited and it was injured, making it difficult for it to break free.
“I warn you, if you dare to destroy my soul, our Young Master will never let you off…” On the other side, the second-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm man from Heavenly Palace angrily shouted.
However, before he could finish speaking, Dark Puppet had already caught up to him and swallowed him in one gulp.
The remaining two souls didn’t run far either before being devoured by Dark Puppet in succession.
“Billy, I’ll talk to it!” Purple Spirit’s voice resounded in Billy’s mind as her figure flashed out.
Shortly after, she arrived in front of the cage and began making chirping sounds, presumably communicating with the Tree Spirit.
After a while, she turned to look at Billy and said, “Billy, it hasn’t fully evolved yet and can’t speak human language. What do you want to ask it?”
“Ask them why they attacked humans and why they captured those souls,” Billy responded.
“I’ve asked,” Purple Spirit replied. “They belong to the Tree Spirit Clan. There are many Tree Spirits in this space, and they act under orders. It doesn’t know the specific reasons.”
“Then ask it if there are any other creatures besides the Tree Spirit Clan in this space,” Billy continued.
“Okay!” After Purple Spirit finished speaking, she continued to chirp with the Tree Spirit.
After conversing for a while longer, Purple Spirit turned to Billy and said, “There are higher-level Demonic Beasts here. According to its speculation, those souls captured were meant as offerings for the Demonic Beasts.”
“There are Demonic Beasts here too?” Stout spoke up after collecting the storage rings from the Heavenly Palace group. “Then ask if it knows where the lair of the Demonic Beasts is.”
“I asked, but it doesn’t know,” Purple Spirit shook her head.
“Then ask if it knows where there is a tower in this space,” Stout said again.
“I’ll ask.” Purple Spirit turned to the Tree Spirit and spoke.
“It doesn’t know either, but it told me a location that should be one of the lairs of the Demonic Beasts,” Purple Spirit said to Billy and Stout after a while.
“Let it go!” Billy said as he waved his hand and released the cage.
The Tree Spirit immediately flashed into the forest.
“Purple Spirit, why is it so obedient? It answers whatever you ask?” Stout looked at Purple Spirit and asked.
“Of course!” Purple Spirit had an arrogant expression. “Now you know what it means to be the leader of all spirits!”
“Can you make all the Tree Spirits here serve you?” Stout asked with a smirk.
“I can make them beat you up!” Purple Spirit glared at him.
“Purple Spirit, lead the way. Let’s go see that lair of the Demonic Beasts,” Billy said with a faint smile.
“Okay!” Purple Spirit nodded in response.
After speaking, she led Billy and Stout as they flew towards the right front.
Perhaps because of Purple Spirit’s presence, there were no more Tree Spirits attacking them along the way.
After about half an hour, the three of them arrived in mid-air above a mountain pass. This was the lair of the Demonic Beasts mentioned by the Tree Spirit earlier.
As they were about to descend onto the mountainous area, a loud noise came from ahead in the void.
Then two figures flew towards them from afar. Their bodies directly perished upon arrival, falling from mid-air with their souls soaring into the sky.
Billy looked down and saw more than ten bodies lying haphazardly on the mountainous area. It was clear that they had already perished.
From the markings on these people’s bodies, it could be seen that they were members of the Emperor Clan.
At the same time, a figure flew towards them from the left front. It had a human face but a beast’s body covered in shiny scales.
“Spare us!” one of the Emperor Clan souls shouted as he rushed towards Billy and his companions. The other person followed suit as well.
Clearly, they wanted to divert trouble towards them.
“You’re still so cunning even when reduced to just souls…” Stout glanced at them.
Before he could finish his words, Billy flicked his wrist and after a blade aura passed by, both souls directly turned into nothingness.
“Dare you!” The Demonic Beast shouted angrily before raising its hand and unleashing a violent wave of energy surging towards Billy.
“Billy, I got this!” Before Billy could make a move, Purple Spirit shouted and rushed forward. At the same time, she raised her hand and formed a purple blade shape to meet it head-on.
After a loud noise, the violent wave of energy sent the opposing Demonic Beast flying hundreds of feet away as it coughed up blood.
Purple Spirit didn’t stop there. While closing in on it, she raised her hand and unleashed powerful punches with fierce winds accompanying each strike.
The Demonic Beast had no power to resist and could only raise its hand to block while dodging to one side.
However, its speed was clearly no match for Purple Spirit’s. After several rounds of exchange, its body was covered in wounds and its combat power dropped to less than fifty percent.
Watching this scene unfold, Billy couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
He had probed the strength of this Demonic Beast earlier. Its combat power was comparable to that of a third-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm cultivator and its resistance was at least on par with a fourth-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm cultivator. Yet in front of Purple Spirit, it couldn’t even fight back!
It’s a bit exaggerated!
Last time when Purple Spirit mentioned that Fountain of Eternal Life was beneficial to her too, he had been skeptical. Now he completely believed it!
