Chapter 1870: The Calm Before the Storm
The arc-shaped blade light swept through, destroying everything in its path. The arrows from the other side shattered without any resistance.
As soon as the ‘Cracked Sky’ blade technique formed, the elder on the opposing side sensed its power. He wanted to dodge but found all his escape routes blocked.
The blade light flashed past his neck like lightning, and a head soared into the sky, blood gushing like a fountain. His face was filled with shock. Until his last breath, he couldn’t believe Billy could wield such a powerful technique. He knew that even a true Heaven Dao Realm expert couldn’t withstand it.
In no time, Billy landed on the ground, and the others approached. The other ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm elder had already met his end at White Feather’s hands after just a few rounds.
“Mr. Billy, you are truly exceptional,” Celine Quinn said, looking at Billy with admiration. She had heard of Billy’s ability to kill a half-step Heaven Dao Realm expert, but seeing it with her own eyes was still shocking.
Before Billy appeared, she was the undisputed top genius of the Akabuchi star domain. Few could catch her eye, and only her grandfather and Kymani Vasquez earned her respect. But now, a peer surpassed her in both talent and combat prowess.
“Princess, you flatter me,” Billy smiled faintly. “You are impressive as well.”
“Compared to Mr. Billy, I am nothing,” Celine Quinn replied, then pointed to the teleportation portal in mid-air. “Mr. Billy, what do you plan to do…”
Before she could finish, a powerful aura surged from the portal, and over a dozen figures emerged. The weakest among them were mid-stage Entering Dao Realm, and the strongest was mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm.
“Who are you…” The leading elder of mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm asked, seeing Billy and his group.
“White Feather, kill them,” Billy ordered sternly.
Before he finished speaking, White Feather soared into the air, unleashing a wave of energy. The elder was flung a thousand meters away and died mid-air.
Seeing this, the others were stunned. “Retreat!” one man shouted in panic and turned towards the portal. The rest followed without hesitation.
However, White Feather pursued them, spewing several powerful energy waves. In an instant, eight or nine figures were blasted in all directions, blood spraying in mid-air. They died before hitting the ground.
The remaining four or five managed to escape into the portal.
White Feather was about to chase them when Billy stopped him. “White Feather!” he called out.
Hearing him, White Feather landed on the ground.
“Mr. Billy, Great Blue Star Domain has lost two half-step Heaven Dao Realm experts in Akabuchi star domain. If they send more people next time, it won’t be a small force,” Celine Quinn said with a serious expression.
Billy nodded thoughtfully. “Boss, what’s the plan?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Should we attack Great Blue Star Domain and take down their west domain king first?” Erica Cardenas suggested.
“Don’t be impulsive. Their west domain king is at least first-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, maybe higher. He also has four half-step Heaven Dao Realm aides and possibly a Heaven Dao Realm deputy,” Billy cautioned. “Rushing in would be too risky.”
“Princess, send some people here to keep watch and report any unusual activity,” Billy instructed Celine Quinn after some thought. “Also, tell your father to move the Domain Lord’s Mansion elites to Crimson Ink City quickly. I suspect Great Blue Star Domain will act soon.”
“Understood,” Celine Quinn nodded.
“Let’s head back,” Billy said, leading the group away.
The next morning, after briefing Casey and Harleen, Billy went alone to a valley behind the manor. He sat cross-legged on a stone slab and took out high-level Spirit Fruits from his storage ring. He was clearly preparing for a breakthrough.
Half an hour later, after consuming all the Spirit Fruits, Billy closed his eyes and began refining them. Though Spirit Fruits didn’t significantly boost his cultivation level, they were better than nothing.
About an hour later, after refining all the Spirit Fruits, Billy activated his bloodline power to enter a tribulation state. In martial arts, starting from Entering Dao Realm, each major breakthrough required undergoing a tribulation.
For Perceiving Dao Realm, it wasn’t heavenly tribulation but an internal one.
Soon, Billy felt powerful energy currents rampaging inside him, causing pain to show on his face. As time passed, the currents grew stronger, almost bursting out of his body.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
His aura became extremely chaotic, fluctuating wildly. His veins bulged, forehead veins popped out, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Having experienced near-death twice before, this level of pain was still bearable for him.
After a while, an air vortex formed around him as rocks and trees floated into the air. The scene was terrifying.
About two quarters of an hour later, an overwhelming aura exploded from Billy’s body, shattering rocks and trees within a kilometer radius.
After several breaths, everything calmed down again.
Billy opened his eyes and stood up.
