Chapter 1852: Assistance from a Senior
At present, Billy was fully activating ‘Heavenly Fury’. Even a sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert would fall to a single strike. These wooden men, comparable only to third-rank Perceiving Dao Realm in strength, were clearly no match for his blade.
With a crack, one of the wooden men fell, turning into a pile of scrap wood scattered on the ground. Simultaneously, the attacks of the other three wooden men landed on Billy with tremendous force. Fortunately, his defensive ability was strong enough that he only bled slightly from the corner of his mouth, his combat strength unaffected.
Steadying himself, he struck again. With his current cultivation, using ‘Heavenly Fury’ three times in a row was no longer difficult. After three strikes, only one wooden man remained, tirelessly charging at Billy. Billy took out a Chi Condensing Pill, swallowed it, and dodged the attack.NôvelDrama.Org content.
He then stored the Bloodshadow Fury Blade in his storage ring and began to maneuver around the wooden man, needing time to recover his Chi power. After ten minutes of fierce fighting, Billy drew the Bloodshadow Fury Blade again. With one final strike, the last wooden man turned into a pile of wood chips.
“You are not from the Oneal Clan. Who are you?” A cold voice reached Billy’s ears as an overwhelming aura emanated from a stone coffin nearby. Billy felt suffocated and nearly fell to his knees.
“How did you know I am not from the Oneal Clan?” Billy asked, looking towards the stone coffin after taking a deep breath.
“Foolish question!” The elder’s voice echoed. “From the moment you stepped onto the stone steps until now, none of your techniques have been from the Oneal Family!”
“Alright,” Billy said, bowing towards the stone coffin. “Junior Billy from the Akabuchi star domain, here at the invitation of Lord Madden.”
“Where is Madden Oneal?” The elder’s voice filled the space.
“Junior Madden Oneal greets Ancestor!” A figure appeared beside Billy; it was Madden Oneal.
“Did you bring him?” the elder asked.
“Yes, Ancestor,” Madden Oneal replied respectfully. “Following your teachings, if no one in the Oneal Clan can inherit your will, we may seek trustworthy talents from outside.”
“Mr. Billy is exceptionally gifted, a rare genius in ten thousand years. He recently saved Maga City from disaster, so I brought him to meet you.”
“He saved Maga City from disaster?” The elder was taken aback.
“Indeed,” Madden Oneal briefly described the events in the Great Blue Star Domain.
“They truly have sinister ambitions!” The elder’s shadowy figure appeared not far from Billy. Judging by its clarity, it wouldn’t last long.
“Greetings, Senior,” Billy bowed slightly.
“Your physique and bloodline are extraordinary; you are indeed a rare genius!” The elder’s eyes lit up after scanning Billy. “Besides a Spiritual Line Origin, what else is in your body?”
“To be honest, I don’t know,” Billy shook his head. “I only know it should be one of the Ten Sacred Objects but not which one specifically.”
“Oh?” The elder was surprised and released his spiritual power to investigate again. However, he could only sense a white light within Billy’s body and nothing more.
After several minutes of futile attempts, he withdrew his spiritual power and looked at Billy. “If it truly is one of the Ten Sacred Objects, it may not be a blessing for you.”
“A common saying goes: ‘A man without sin may be guilty if he possesses a treasure.’ The Ten Sacred Objects are legendary treasures.”
“Not just in our third-tier star domain; even in higher fourth-tier star domains, no one has heard of the Ten Sacred Objects appearing. If word gets out that you possess one…”
“It already has,” Billy smiled faintly. “I don’t know how far it has spread, but our third-tier star domain should all know by now.”
The elder was speechless for a moment before continuing, “Madden Oneal should have told you about the City of the Dead?”
“Yes,” Billy nodded.
“Maga Planet is declining in talent and strength; if this continues, it will inevitably be annexed!” The elder mused aloud before turning to Billy. “I have a request; would you be willing to help?”
“Please speak,” Billy responded.
“I will give you the map of the City of the Dead and the method to break the Fortress Defense Array,” the elder said. “If Maga Planet faces difficulty in the future and it’s within your power, could you lend a hand?”
“You overestimate me,” Billy smiled lightly. “I came to Maga City to discuss an alliance with Lord Madden, and we have reached an initial agreement.”
“As allies, we will certainly help each other in times of need.”
“Good!” The elder nodded. “I hope I haven’t misjudged you!”
Turning to Madden Oneal, he said, “My soul consciousness is reaching its end; from now on, it’s up to you.”
“If great calamity strikes, seek out this Billy; I trust him!”
“I understand,” Madden Oneal bowed deeply.
“Now, while I still have some energy left in my soul consciousness, let me give you a gift,” the elder said to Billy.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I am not from Maga Planet…” Billy hesitated.
He knew what the elder meant-a boost in cultivation before his soul consciousness dissipated.
“A great person doesn’t fuss over small matters!” The elder interrupted him. “I left this soul consciousness to find a suitable person to pass on the City of the Dead’s legacy.”
“Heaven has been kind to me; meeting you before my soul consciousness disappears is enough!”
“But…” Billy began.
“Mr. Billy, since Ancestor has decided, there’s no need to refuse,” Madden Oneal interrupted.
“In that case, I humbly accept,” Billy said, looking at the elder. “Thank you for your effort!”
“Good!” The elder nodded.
With that, he turned into a ball of light and entered Billy’s forehead.
“Sit cross-legged and let me take control of your body!” The elder’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
“Alright,” Billy complied and sat down.
Soon, he felt a powerful energy rampaging through his body, impacting his meridians. His bloodline also became restless under this force.
Simultaneously, an information stream flowed into his consciousness.
Time passed quickly; before he knew it, a day had gone by.
