Chapter 2659: Whether or not the compass matters

Book:Lord Came Back From The Battlefield Published:2025-2-5

A deafening roar echoed through the void, reducing everything around to nothingness. At the same time, Billy and the other man were sent flying thousands of feet away.
The man spewed a mouthful of blood into the sky, his aura greatly weakened, and his combat power reduced by thirty to forty percent.
On the other hand, Billy also had blood flowing from his mouth, but judging from his condition, he was clearly stronger than the other man.
Through this attack, he had tested the limits of the Punish Heaven Blade Technique.
With his current cultivation, if he were to unleash a reckless strike, he could easily kill a ninth-rank Heavenly Empyrean Realm expert!
Indeed, it was a technique from the Heaven Book, and it was truly formidable!
“Let’s see how long you can hold on!” Beast King clearly sensed that Billy’s true energy and psychic power were greatly depleted, so it didn’t hesitate and launched another attack.
Although it was shocked that Billy could unleash such a level of sword technique, it knew that now was not the time to waste any more time.
It was certain that Billy wouldn’t be able to unleash the same attack in a short period of time, so it had to end the battle quickly.
However, it had underestimated Billy.
While Billy couldn’t continue using Punish Heaven, there was no problem with his Sky Burial Blade.
Meanwhile, the other man’s combat power had dropped significantly, at most being able to unleash mid-stage Heavenly Empyrean Realm combat power.
Furthermore, there was also the Dark Puppet beside them, devouring souls voraciously.
Therefore, the result was not surprising. Under the joint assault of Billy and the Dark Puppet, Beast King’s physical body fell from mid-air after a dozen or so rounds, and its soul soared into the sky.
Before its soul could stabilize, it was punched by the Dark Puppet, exacerbating its already injured soul.
Immediately after, Billy raised his hand and formed a Void Prison to trap it in mid-air.
“You better release me immediately, or you will regret it!” Beast King roared angrily at Billy.
“From what you’re saying, do you still have any trump cards?” Billy calmly approached and asked.
“You despicable human, release me now!” Beast King didn’t directly answer Billy’s question.
“Stay put for now!” After Billy finished speaking, he turned to look at the ongoing battle around them.
The battle between the lost souls and Demonic Beasts continued. In terms of individual strength, the lost souls were slightly inferior, but they had the advantage in numbers, at least four to five times more than the Demonic Beasts.
So far, the two sides were evenly matched.
Seeing this situation, Billy didn’t make any further moves.
“Boss!” Just then, Stout’s voice rang out as he flew over.
“Did you find the princess?” Billy asked with a faint smile.
“Yes!” Stout nodded and pointed below. “She’s trapped in a Void Prison by Beast King, and we can’t break it.”
“Let’s go take a look!” After Billy finished speaking, he descended to the ground.
Before long, they arrived at an open space not far from the tower.
Billy looked around and saw hundreds of Demonic Beasts lying haphazardly on the ground. Most of them had been killed by Stout and Kaitlyn Houston.
Near the entrance of the tower, Allyson Houston of the Imperial Clan was trapped in a Void Prison. She had injuries on her body, her face was pale, and her aura was weak.
“Thank you, Mr. Stuart!” Upon seeing Billy, Allyson Houston spoke up.
She had learned about what had happened earlier from Kaitlyn Houston, so she sincerely thanked Billy from the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, she was just as shocked as anyone else.
She never expected that out of nearly a hundred people from the Imperial Clan who entered, besides her and Kaitlyn Houston, the ones who survived till the end would be Billy and Stout, who had the lowest cultivation levels. And what’s more, Billy’s combat power surpassed hers!
“Princess, you’re welcome!” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Stuart, are you not from the Chaos Realm?” Allyson Houston suddenly asked. “Are you from another world?”
“Huh?!” Kaitlyn Houston beside her was slightly taken aback by her question.
“I received news a few days ago that someone had broken through the formation at the entrance of the Chaos Realm, and many people from outside have entered. Mr. Stuart, are you one of those people?” Allyson Houston continued to ask.
“How did you know?” Billy smiled and asked in return.
“The Chaos Realm is vast, but information still spreads relatively quickly.” Allyson Houston smiled. “If there were someone like you in that world outside, I should have heard something about it.”
“But until today, I knew nothing about you, Mr. Stuart!”
“To be honest, I am indeed from another world!” Billy smiled and didn’t hide it anymore.
“Are you really people from another world?” Kaitlyn Houston asked again in surprise. “Are all people from outside like you, able to jump through so many cultivation levels?”
This was indeed her biggest question. If people from outside were all like this, it would be terrifying!
“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Stuart should be considered a genius even in that world outside, right?” Without waiting for Billy’s response, Allyson Houston continued to smile. “Princess, how did you know?”
“I guessed!” Allyson Houston smiled again before looking at Billy. “Kaitlyn told me that she initially invited both of you to join the Imperial Guard voluntarily, but you both refused. Why did you agree later?”
After saying that, she added directly, “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Stuart must have come for the Chaos Compass?”
“Not really!” Stout shook his head in response. “Whether or not we have the compass doesn’t matter much to us. We’re mainly interested in exploring…”
“The Chaos Compass won’t be given to you; our Imperial Clan is determined to obtain it!” Kaitlyn Houston said with a stern voice upon hearing Allyson Houston’s words.
“Kaitlyn, have you ever thought about one thing? If you don’t even have your lives anymore, what meaning does the compass hold for you?” Stout licked his lips and responded.
Kaitlyn Houston opened her mouth but didn’t know how to respond.
Stout was right; if it weren’t for Billy and Stout’s help, they would already be dead, and naturally they would have no chance with the compass.
“Mr. Stuart, do you know that there is an array inside this tower?” Allyson Houston continued to smile as she looked at Billy. “I know how to break it.”
“I’ve heard about it!” Billy nodded with a smile. “Princess, do you know how to break it?”
“To be honest, I do!” Allyson Houston didn’t deny it.
