Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Under Purple Spirit’s full-force strike, the spatial cage shattered without any resistance, and the sword’s momentum remained undiminished.

Before the elder could fully react, the purple sword had already pierced through his heart, causing blood to spurt out.

The elder looked down at the bloody hole in his chest before falling from mid-air.

“Billy, I’m coming to help you!” After killing two late-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm opponents, Purple Spirit rushed towards Billy.

“Don’t worry about me, go protect Harleen and the others!” Billy shouted back.

“Be careful then!” Purple Spirit didn’t insist further, knowing Billy had life-saving treasures.

Just as Billy’s words fell, Silas West threw a mark that sent Billy flying eight or nine hundred meters away. Despite their numerous exchanges, Billy had taken several hits but showed almost no injuries. Considering Billy was a whole major realm and three levels lower than him, his physical resilience was astonishing.

“I want to see how long you can last!” Silas West frowned and charged at Billy again.

“Let me take you somewhere!” Billy’s voice reached Silas West’s ears. As he spoke, spiritual power entered the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass. The next moment, Silas West found himself in a completely unfamiliar space. To his shock, he realized he could only exert mid-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm power here.

“What is this place?” Silas West asked Billy, feeling a deep sense of unease.

“You’ve heard of the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, right?” Billy smiled faintly.

“What?!” Silas West’s pupils contracted: “The Heavenly Xuan Array Compass is with you? This is the Heavenly Xuan Space?”

As the vice master of Frost Palace, he had certainly heard of the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass. He had always thought it was with the Array Alliance, but it turned out Billy had it!

“Congratulations, you guessed right!” Billy shrugged.

“Damn it!” Silas West cursed and quickly fled backward. He knew that with his current power, he couldn’t be Billy’s opponent.

“As far as I know, to leave the Heavenly Xuan Space, either your array skills must surpass those who created the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, or you kill me and the array will automatically deactivate!” Billy said calmly. “Besides these two methods, no one has ever left this space.”

“I’m the vice master of Frost Palace; if you dare kill me…” Silas West shouted while running.

“Rest assured! Soon enough, I’ll send your sect master down to accompany you!” Billy interrupted him. As he finished speaking, a Heavenly Fury Slash formed by a wild blade flashed past.

After the blade light passed, a head flew into the air, blood spurting like a fountain. Silas West’s face was filled with endless unwillingness. He was a mid-stage Breaking Emptiness Realm expert, yet he was slain just like that! If he had known Billy possessed the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, he would never have sought him out!

Soon after, Billy exited the Heavenly Xuan Space and looked towards Harleen and the others. With Purple Spirit’s help, most of their opponents were already lying on the ground, and Stout was collecting storage rings.

“The vice master of Frost Palace should have some good stuff in his storage ring!” Stout approached Silas West’s body and examined the storage ring. “Not bad!”

“Stout, what’s inside?” Judge asked.

“These pills should be mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills,” Stout replied, taking out several pills from the storage ring.

“Indeed!” Ivy confirmed after examining them.

“Perfect! With these pills, Harleen and Opal can break through!” Judge said.

As Judge predicted, the pills were indeed useful. Over the next ten days, with ample cultivation resources, everyone’s cultivation improved. Harleen, Ivy, and Opal all faced their Perfection Emptiness Realm Thunder Tribulation due to the mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills. Harleen broke through to second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, while Ivy and Opal reached first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.

Casey, Stout, and Amber advanced to half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm. Azure Dragon and Azure Fang broke through to eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm after refining several high-grade Shadow Beast Cores. Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Felicia reached sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Night Orchid and Frostblade advanced to fifth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

“Boss, should we visit Ice City?” Azure Dragon asked Billy one morning as they chatted in the courtyard.

“No point,” Billy shook his head slightly. For him, unless Frost Palace sought him out, he had no intention of going to them. A trip to Ice City seemed meaningless.

“Where are we heading next?” Azure Dragon continued.

“Pack up; we’re going to Phoenix City,” Billy decided after some thought.

“Phoenix City?” Everyone was slightly surprised.

“Boss, are we going to find the Alchemists’ Alliance?” Casey asked.

“Yes,” Billy nodded. “They still owe us a pill recipe.”

“Got it!” Casey nodded.

By noon, they headed towards the teleportation channel on the outskirts. Before departing, Billy visited the Array Alliance to bid farewell to Morgan Muir and inquire about the route to Phoenix City. There was no direct teleportation channel from Azure Abyss City to Phoenix City; they had to transfer at a place called City of the Unclaimed. The City of the Unclaimed was a unique location in this fifth-tier star domain, situated centrally and not governed by any faction-a no-man’s land.

Five or six hours later, they emerged from the teleportation channel and flew towards the City of the Unclaimed.

“This City of the Unclaimed is huge!” White Tiger exclaimed as they approached its outskirts after a quarter-hour flight. The city was even larger than Great Green City-a true megacity.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Boss, should we head straight for the teleportation channel?” Casey asked once they entered the city.

“No rush,” Billy shook his head. “Since we’re here, let’s stay overnight and see what makes this city special.”

“Alright!” Everyone agreed simultaneously.

As they continued walking, a muffled sound echoed. A man was thrown from ahead and landed heavily about a hundred meters in front of Billy. The man appeared to be in his fifties, thin and wearing a green robe, with blood continuously flowing from his mouth.

At the same time, a group of forty or fifty people approached from ahead, led by an elderly man and woman. Both exuded eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm auras.

“Still struggling?” The old woman asked the man on the ground. “Hand over the map honestly, and I might spare your life!”

“You’ll get the map only over my dead body!” The man shouted angrily.

“That can be arranged!” The leading old man said coldly. “You’ll be put to death soon enough!”
