Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Time flew by quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone’s progress was roughly as Billy had estimated.

Under the influence of the mid-tier Spirit Essence Pill, Harleen advanced to the half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm, just one step away from a true breakthrough.

Ivy and Opal both surged into the ninth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Casey, Stout, and Amber also made significant progress, reaching the eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm after twenty days.

Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Ian Blade, and Bob improved by two ranks, reaching the sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

Felicia, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger broke through to the fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Night Orchid and Frostblade also advanced by two ranks, reaching the third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

Billy himself made considerable progress, stepping into the half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm with the help of his bloodline power and the mid-tier Spirit Essence Pill.

This was actually because he had deliberately suppressed his advancement; otherwise, he would have faced the Thunder Tribulation of the Perfection Emptiness Realm!

Since he had already promised the Array Alliance, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.

In the following days, everyone stayed at the City Lord’s Mansion to consolidate their cultivation.

Billy summoned the Russo family to the City Lord’s Mansion, gave them some instructions, and had Stout deliver a significant amount of cultivation resources to them.

Afterward, Billy visited the Institute and met with Jimmy Acevedo, sharing some of his thoughts about the Institute’s future.

According to his plan, Yheng Institute would collaborate with Great Blue Institute, allowing Great Blue Institute to send outstanding students to Great Green City for training from time to time.

Two days later, with most matters in Great Green City settled, Billy bid farewell to the Russo family and took everyone into the sky.

They first visited Cloudhaven City to meet with Liam Cooper and his group, then went to the entrance of Star Domain Chasm.

Billy spent two days reinforcing an array at the entrance.

With his current expertise in arrays, anyone who didn’t understand arrays would need at least mid-stage Breaking Emptiness Realm cultivation to forcibly break through his array!

After leaving Cloudhaven City, they arrived at Bladesong City.

Since they were about to leave Great Green Star Domain, Billy naturally wanted to say goodbye to the Blade and Sword Sect. After all, he was still the next Sect Master of Blade and Sword Sect!

They stayed at Blade and Sword Sect for three days. With the official merger of Blade and Sword Sect, there were many matters to coordinate. Clayton Acevedo and the others took advantage of Billy’s presence to discuss things with him for an entire day.

Initially, Clayton Acevedo and the others wanted Billy to stay in Bladesong City but later decided against it.

They all knew that Billy’s stage was not in Great Green Star Domain or even in a mid-tier star domain; only a high-tier star domain could accommodate a talented genius like him.

In the following two days, Billy, Harleen, Ivy, Casey, Opal, and Amber continued to comprehend the Realm of Swords and Blades under the guidance of Clayton Acevedo and Ryder Blade.

On this morning, after bidding farewell to everyone at Blade and Sword Sect, Billy led his group on their journey to the fifth-rank star domain.

Traveling from Bladesong City to the fifth-rank star domain required passing through three or four teleportation channels, with transfer points near different cities.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Although they encountered some incidents along the way, with their current strength, few in Great Green Star Domain could pose a threat to them.

A month later, they appeared at the exit of a teleportation channel on the outskirts of Azure Abyss City.

“Is this the fifth-rank star domain?” Everyone looked around.

“As expected, the higher the rank, the stronger the spiritual energy concentration. The spiritual energy here is much denser than in Great Green Star Domain!” Vermilion Bird remarked after taking a deep breath.

“Indeed!” White Tiger also took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at Billy.

“Boss, according to Elder Clayton, Azure Abyss City should be not far from this exit. Are we going directly to find the Array Alliance people?”

“Yes,” Billy nodded. “Let’s see who exactly they want to save.”

“Alright!” White Tiger responded.

“Watch out!” Ivy suddenly shouted.

A massive flying beast swooped down on them with its wings spread wide, covering forty or fifty meters and blocking out the sun.

Judging by its aura, it was clearly a Phantom Beast.

“What’s going on? Do all beasts in the fifth-rank star domain attack humans indiscriminately?” Judgment frowned.

“Who cares! It’s here to deliver a beast core; we might as well take it!” Stout said as he threw a punch at the flying beast.

Demon Fist!

With his current eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm cultivation, one punch was enough to kill a third-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm opponent.

The flying beast was a third-rank Phantom Beast. Under Stout’s punch, it was sent flying a thousand meters away. Although severely injured, it wasn’t killed in one blow.

Beasts of the same rank were clearly more resilient than martial artists!

After being heavily injured in one move, the flying beast realized it had provoked the wrong people and quickly flew away.

“Trying to escape? You haven’t given me your beast core yet!” Stout wasn’t about to let it go easily and prepared to chase after it.

“Stout, don’t chase it!” Billy called out.

“Boss, why not?” Stout paused. “Its beast core…”

“Someone’s coming!” Ivy interrupted him.

“Who are you people? How dare you injure my mount! Do you have a death wish?” A woman’s voice reached their ears.

Soon after, a man and a woman flew over from a distance.

Both appeared to be in their thirties with decent features but wore haughty expressions with their noses in the air.

Their cultivation was also decent; the woman was at third-rank Entering Emptiness Realm while the man was at fifth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

No wonder this was a fifth-rank star domain; even random young people had such skills, much stronger than their peers in Great Green Star Domain.

The man’s eyes scanned Harleen and Ivy before a lecherous glint flashed deep within them.

“Was that flying beast your mount?” Stout asked the woman.

“Of course!” The woman sneered. “If not mine, then whose?”

“Good!” Stout continued. “It tried to attack us earlier. I want its beast core!”

“You have two choices: give me its beast core or compensate me with other treasures.”

“What did you say?” The woman was stunned by Stout’s words.

“Don’t understand?” Stout smirked. “Then just give me its beast core. Hurry up; we have places to be!”

“Are you insane?” The woman shouted. “You injured my mount and now want its beast core? Do you have a death wish?”

“I’m just giving you a suggestion. Whether you listen is up to you.” Stout shrugged.
