Chapter 2704: Boss?
Immediately after, the opponent struck again, causing the surrounding void to twist as if it would tear Billy to pieces.
However, a blade light flashed through the air, restoring the void to its original state, and the opponent's body fell from midair.
A soul escaped, its face full of shock.
Before it could react, Dark Puppet had rushed over.
With Dark Puppet's current strength, dealing with an injured soul was no challenge.
Billy ignored the opponent and turned to charge towards the other battle zones.
The ensuing battles were no longer suspenseful; none of the remaining opponents could withstand a single strike from Billy.
In no time, the rest of them had all fallen. Even if some souls remained, they were swallowed by Dark Puppet.
"Thank you, Mr. Billy!" After the battle ended, a dozen elders from the Heaven Alliance approached and bowed.
"No need to thank me; it's my duty," Billy responded.
"Elder Mark, take them to the base. The battle there isn't over yet. I'll take Billy to the Shattered Realm barrier," Fairy said to one of the elders.
"Alright," the elder nodded in response.
Fairy then led Billy towards the left front.
With the addition of these dozen Heaven Alliance elders, there was little to worry about in this battle.
The base wasn't far from the Shattered Realm barrier. With Billy and Fairy's cultivation levels, they arrived quickly.
Billy looked around and saw an endless 'wall,' similar to the star domain barrier he had seen before-part real, part illusion.
The closer they got to the barrier, the stronger the oppressive force in the void became. Billy estimated that anyone below the Heavenly Realm wouldn't last long here.
Billy also noticed three large air vortices in midair along the barrier, each with a black hole at its center, clearly the transmission channels opened by Another Realm.
There were battles near each of the three transmission channels, though on a smaller scale than before.
After a quick survey, Billy saw some familiar figures near the middle transmission channel: Casey and the Azure Dragon group.
"Let's go. We'll deal with these people first," Fairy said, leading Billy towards the transmission channels.
"You help Casey and his group; I'll handle enemies here," Fairy said as they reached the first transmission channel.
"Got it," Billy replied and quickly headed towards the second transmission channel.
He had roughly assessed the nearby Another Realm forces' strength; the strongest was only mid-to-late Heavenly Emperor Realm, which Fairy could handle.
As Billy approached the second channel, an extremely terrifying oppressive force swept out from it.
The fighters near the channel involuntarily stopped and turned to look.
Four figures emerged from the black hole: three men and two women, each representing a different faction.
With their appearance, the oppressive force on site surged, and the faces of the Heaven Alliance troops grew grim.
They had been guarding this place for so long that they were nearly exhausted. They could barely handle opponents below Reincarnation Realm.
But these four were clearly Reincarnation Realm experts, and not ordinary ones. They stood no chance against them.
One of the men immediately killed two Heaven Alliance members with a wave of his hand, annihilating their souls completely.
"Retreat!" commanded Rigel Steele, the troop commander.
"Commander, we can't let them reach the base. The pressure there is already immense," Azure Dragon said.
"Damn it, let's fight them!" Judge and White Tiger responded simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Casey, Azure Fang, and Ian Blade's auras surged to their peak as they prepared to attack.
"Kill them all!" ordered one of the Titans' men as he waved his hand. A massive palm descended on Casey and his group like a mountain.
"Casey, Azure Fang, Ian, be careful!" Vermilion Bird shouted from nearby.
Just as despair set in, a blade light slashed at the giant palm, causing both attacks to explode and turning the void into nothingness.
The violent airwave sent Casey and some others flying.
As they steadied themselves, they turned to see Billy approaching through the air.
"Boss?!" Casey and his group shouted in unison, their faces lighting up with joy.
Like Stout, they trusted Billy without conditions. Seeing him appear gave them half their confidence back.
"Not bad!" Billy smiled at them.
He had already assessed Casey's group's strength and was pleasantly surprised. They were all at Heavenly Venerable Realm!
Casey was at eighth-rank Heavenly God Realm; Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Bob, and Ian Blade were at sixth-rank Heavenly Venerable Realm; and the others were in early-to-mid Heavenly God Realm.
Billy wondered how Casey's group had achieved this. Did they have treasures like Spacetime Forbidden Room?
"Commander Steele, long time no see!" Billy greeted Rigel Steele nearby.
"Mr. Billy?" Rigel Steele recognized him and asked, "Is Miss Sanaa here too?"
"Yes," Billy nodded. "The base is stable for now."
"That's good!" Rigel Steele's eyes brightened.
"Boss, when did you arrive?" Casey asked as he led his group over.
"Just now," Billy smiled. "Step back; we'll talk later."
"Boss, these four are mid-to-late Reincarnation Realm. Can you handle them?" Bob asked.
"No problem," Billy nodded and walked towards the four opponents.
"Casey, can you sense Boss's cultivation?" Judge asked Casey.
"Yes," Casey nodded. "First-rank Heavenly Emperor Realm."
"Boss is already at Heavenly Emperor Realm?" Judge was stunned. "Amazing! How did he surpass us? How did he do it?"
"Judge, has Boss ever been slower than us?" Soul Chaser replied.
"True," Judge nodded. "But even if Boss can fight across realms, it's tough against mid-to-late Reincarnation Realm."
"But Boss seems confident. Can he use Nine Dragons Cauldron?"
"Obviously!" Soul Chaser replied confidently.
"Not necessarily," Casey said thoughtfully. "Let's watch first."
As they talked, Billy approached one of the Titans' men.
"You must be Billy?" The Titans' man looked at him. "We were just about to find you. Didn't expect you to come to us!"
"You want Nine Dragons Cauldron?" Billy asked. "Fight me. Kill me and it's yours!"
"As you wish!" The Titans' man attacked without further ado.
