In the next moment, a blood-red blade aura clashed with Leroy Oneal’s attack. The fiery energy had no chance of resisting and vanished into nothingness along with the void.
Not only did the fiery energy disappear, but Leroy Oneal and the other two individuals also turned into nothingness.
Furthermore, their souls were not spared either and dissipated before they could fully solidify.
In the empty space, only Leroy Oneal’s semi-transparent soul remained, his face filled with unimaginable horror, unable to believe the outcome.
If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed that Billy could unleash such a level of sword technique!
Not far away, the Demonic Beast man imprisoned in the Void Prison wore an equally shocked expression.
He had thought that Billy had shown all his cards during their previous battle, but now he realized that he had severely underestimated Billy!
In fact, it wasn’t just them who were shocked; even Billy himself was surprised!
Although he knew that the Punish Heaven blade technique, which appeared on the ninth floor of the Heaven Book, couldn’t be an ordinary martial art, he didn’t expect it to be so exaggerated.
What’s more, he had only cultivated to the Major Ascension Realm. How terrifying would it be if he reached perfection?
Of course, due to his low cultivation level, after executing this strike, most of his Chi and psychic power were almost depleted. He stood in mid-air for a while to recover.
“What… what kind of sword technique is that?!” Leroy Oneal’s soul asked Billy.
“I’ll tell you in your next life!” Billy responded after a brief pause.
“I warn you, if you dare to kill me, Heavenly Palace will never let you go…” Leroy Oneal hesitated for a moment before quickly fleeing to the side.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was punched away by the Dark Puppet that had caught up to him.
The already injured soul was further devastated, and its form became even more blurred.
“I… I am the Young Palace Master of Heavenly Palace. If you kill me…” Leroy Oneal shouted again.
Before he could finish his sentence, the Dark Puppet arrived in front of him and swallowed him whole.
A seventh-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm is quite a good catch!
“Boss, was the sword technique you just used called ‘Punish Heaven’?” At the same time, Stout approached, having already defeated his two opponents with the Ancient Book.
“Yes!” Billy replied with a faint smile.
“Oh my god, that was terrifying!” Stout looked at the still distorted void and smacked his lips. “It truly deserves to be a technique from the Heaven Book. It’s amazing!”
“Are you okay?” Billy asked with another smile.
“I’m fine!” Stout shook his head.
“With the Infinite Sky Armor and that Ancient Book, Boss, you don’t have to worry about my safety anymore. If I can’t beat someone, I’ll run. If I can’t outrun them, I’ll hide in the Ancient Book Space. Let’s see who can catch up with me?”
After saying that, Stout asked again, “Boss, is there anyone who can easily break through the formation of the Ancient Book?”
“I don’t know!” Billy replied thoughtfully.
After a brief pause, they approached the Demonic Beast man in mid-air.
“Can you answer my question now?” Billy looked at him and spoke calmly.
“A mere human dares to oppose our Demonic Beast clan. You truly do not know life from death…” The Demonic Beast man responded in a deep voice.
Before he could finish his sentence, Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. Immediately, a powerful surge of psychic power burst forth from his brow and entered the man’s sea of consciousness.
“Ah!” In the next moment, the Demonic Beast transformed into human form let out a hysterical scream.
Unable to endure for more than a few breaths, he quickly begged for mercy in a loud voice: “Stop… please stop… I’ll talk!!!”
“Why bother!” Billy withdrew his psychic power and replied.
The Demonic Beast gasped for breath with a terrified expression on his face.
“Speak!” Billy asked again after the man had calmed down slightly.
“There is indeed a tower inside… at the peak of Fog Mountain…” The Demonic Beast man struggled to speak.
“Where is Fog Mountain?” Billy paused for a moment. “Give me the map!”
“Okay…” After finishing his words, the Demonic Beast man sent a stream of information into Billy’s mind.
“What is inside that tower?” Stout asked.
“I don’t know…” The Demonic Beast man shook his head.
“Why are you not being honest?” Stout responded. “With your nature as a Demonic Beast, wouldn’t you want to go inside and take a look?”
“We did want to go inside and take a look, but we couldn’t enter. There is a high-level formation at the entrance of the tower. We tried many methods but couldn’t break through,” the Demonic Beast man explained.
“The tower has a formation too?” Stout frowned and looked at Billy. “Boss, why didn’t the princess mention this before?”
“I don’t know!” Billy replied thoughtfully.
After a brief pause, he looked at the Demonic Beast man and asked, “Are there many Demonic Beasts on Fog Mountain?”
“Yes… there are…” The Demonic Beast man no longer concealed anything. “We guessed that there must be many treasures inside that tower, so we never gave up…”
“In recent thousand years, many humans have entered this space. Did none of them break through the formation of the tower?” Billy continued asking.
“No!” The Demonic Beast man shook his head. “Most of those who entered died before reaching Fog Mountain.”
“Did you kill them?” Stout asked further.
“Each time people entered, they belonged to four different factions. Most of them died due to infighting among these four factions. We only killed a small portion,” the Demonic Beast man explained.
“There were indeed several times when people found the tower, but like us, they couldn’t break through the formation. In the end, they were killed by us Demonic Beasts.”
“Do you capture human souls for cultivation?” Stout asked again.
“Yes!” The Demonic Beast man nodded.
“What is the highest cultivation level among these Demonic Beasts here?” Stout inquired further.
“I don’t know specifically…” The Demonic Beast man shook his head. “But I know that the Beast King should be at the late stage of Heavenly Empyrean Realm…”
“Do you want to stay alive?” Billy asked after a moment of contemplation.
“What… what do you need me to do?” The Demonic Beast man hesitated for a moment before asking.
“I haven’t decided yet.” Billy responded. “Give me your Soul brand, and you can leave alive. Think about it.”
The Demonic Beast man took a deep breath and handed over his Soulbrand. Even if it had ten thousand reasons not to do so, it could only obediently hand over its Soulbrand. It didn’t want to give up on the chance to survive after being able to completely transform into human form and cultivate for tens of thousands of years.
“Go!” Billy waved his hand and released the captive.
“Thank you for sparing my life!” The Demonic Beast man said before turning around and leaving.
“Boss, why didn’t you just kill him directly?” Stout asked Billy.
“Keeping him alive might be more meaningful than killing him!” Billy smiled faintly. “Let’s go and see what lies ahead!”
“Boss, please wait for me.” After saying that, Stout descended to the ground, apparently heading towards the storage rings of those people.
Soon after, the two flew forward together…
