In the next moment, a terrifying blood-red blade light slashed toward the two opponents, turning the entire void red, with thunder roaring and waves surging.
“Um?!”
The two elders, who had completely disregarded Billy, instantly sensed the power of this strike, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints as a thick aura of death enveloped them.
Without time to think, they hurriedly defended themselves. But it was too late; before they could form their own attack, the blade light had already descended.
The void within tens of thousands of feet turned into nothingness, and even dark matter was not spared. Half of the city below also vanished.
The two elders’ bodies instantly turned into a mist of blood, with not even their souls remaining!
In fact, with their strength, if they had taken the initiative to attack, even if their bodies couldn’t withstand the strike, their souls should have survived. But they were too conceited!
After slashing the two, Billy exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face slightly pale.
Although he could now wield this blade without being completely drained of his true energy, it still consumed half of his true energy and Psychic Power!
“Not bad!” Billy said as he retracted the Bloodshadow Fury Blade and then flew towards his father’s position.
Although he couldn’t detect the exact cultivation level of the Spirit Folk Chief, he knew it was definitely stronger than the two elder guardians just now, so he was a bit worried about whether his father could handle it.
Billy had just flown halfway when a loud noise came from the void ahead. Chester’s figure retreated violently towards him, his aura chaotic.
In contrast, the Spirit Folk Chief was also sent flying tens of thousands of feet away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Comparatively, Chester had the upper hand!
Both were heavily injured in the battle, their combat strength reduced by thirty to forty percent.
“Dad, are you okay?” Billy shouted.
“I’m fine!” Chester responded and then paused. “You finished over there?”
“Finished!” Billy said as he charged towards the Spirit Folk Chief.
“Billy, be careful!” Chester shouted again after a brief pause.
Before his words were fully spoken, a blade light flashed past the Spirit Folk Chief.
Although Billy couldn’t wield his strongest strike again, using Punish Heaven once more was no problem.
And with the Spirit Folk Chief’s combat strength now reduced to mid-Reincarnation Realm, the outcome was obvious!
After one strike, the enemy’s body fell!
The opponent’s soul hesitated in mid-air before quickly fleeing backward.
“Billy, don’t let him escape. If his soul survives, he can quickly be reborn!” Chester shouted.
“Don’t worry, he won’t escape!” Billy said as Dark Puppet chased after the fleeing soul.
With Dark Puppet’s current strength enough to rival late Heavenly Emperor Realm, an injured soul had no chance of escaping.
In a few blinks of an eye, Dark Puppet swallowed it whole!
Such a high-level supplement would make anyone’s nose bleed!
The Spirit Folk Chief was gone!
“Dad, how are you?” Billy asked as he flew to Chester’s side.
“I’m fine. Just need to meditate for a bit!” Chester said with a hint of relief on his face. His son had truly grown up.
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
“Let’s go find the old master. I know where he is. We can talk on the way!” After resting for a while, Chester led Billy through the void.
“Billy, do you have many questions? You can ask now. I’ll tell you everything I know.” Chester smiled as they traveled.
“I do have quite a few questions,” Billy began. “First, tell me how you became the leader of Heaven Alliance?”
“It was supposed to be the old master in that position, but he said he preferred a carefree life and insisted I take it,” Chester replied with a smile.
“I still don’t understand!” Billy continued.
“What is the relationship between the old master and Heaven Alliance? Why did they want him as leader? And your and the old master’s skills…”
“You should know about Ether Mountain Patriarch and the Stuart family Patriarch?” Chester interrupted with a smile. “They were the previous leader and deputy leader of Heaven Alliance!”
“Really?” Billy was stunned.
“Yes!” Chester nodded. “The reason why the old master and I came to the ninth-tier star domain is because they brought us here. Everything you’ve experienced along the way was also their plan.”
“Once they knew you had been recognized by Nine Dragons Cauldron, they understood your mission.”
“So they specifically didn’t let me and the old master bring you directly to the ninth-tier star domain. They wanted you to grow gradually because they knew only Nine Dragons Cauldron could save our universe!”
“The elder who taught you blade techniques at Miss Fairy’s place was actually a clone of the Stuart family Patriarch. He just didn’t let you recognize him.”
“I see!” Billy was stunned again. “Where are those two Patriarchs now?”
“They’re gone!” Chester took a deep breath before continuing. “They merged their souls with mine and the old master’s!”
“Ether Mountain Patriarch merged with the old master’s soul; Stuart family Patriarch merged with mine. That’s why our cultivation levels have increased so quickly.”
After a brief pause, he continued.
“Of course, in a way, they’re still around, just sharing bodies with me and the old master.”
“It’s a bit mystical. You can think of it as a form of reincarnation.”
“It is mystical!” Billy felt confused. “Why did they merge their souls with you and the old master? Are their original bodies gone?”
“It’s related to the civilization level of star domains,” Chester nodded.
“In our first-tier star domain, from birth, it’s impossible to live as long as martial arts experts in ninth-tier star domains.”
“Unless we go to higher-level civilized universes to extend our lifespans.”
“But the two Patriarchs knew their responsibilities and couldn’t leave. So before their time came, they gave all their power to me and the old master.”
“I understand now!” Billy nodded and continued asking, “Were Fairy and her sisters adopted by those two Patriarchs?”
“No,” Chester shook his head. “They were adopted by the previous leader.”
“Got it!” Billy replied.
After a brief pause, Billy asked a few more simple questions.
By now, most things were clear to him, so he didn’t have many questions left.
As they talked, they arrived at an unfamiliar star domain.
Billy looked around and saw towering mountains stretching tens of thousands of miles into the sky, seemingly endless.
He also noticed many mountains had been leveled and there were large craters everywhere, evidence of battles between powerful beings.
At that moment, a loud noise echoed as a massive black hole appeared in mid-air, shaking the entire void.
Violent airwaves spread out, causing dozens of mountains below to explode into rubble.
Then two figures flew out from the center of the black hole in opposite directions, each flying tens of thousands of feet away.
One figure was at least two feet tall, a giant among giants, holding an axe-like weapon surrounded by lightning.
The other figure had white hair and beard, wore white robes, and held a whisk-a celestial being in appearance.
It was none other than the old master!
