Chapter 2084: The Legend of the Netherworld Clan
As the two conversed, two members of the Yinsha Sect were sent flying not far away.
Both were at the fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, and stood no chance against Harleen and Ivy. They fell to the ground, lifeless.
Not just these two, but the others were also killed within a few rounds by the combined attacks of Opal and Casey.
For those from the Yinsha Sect who threatened their lives, Harleen and her group showed no mercy.
At the same time, a loud noise erupted in mid-air. Reeve Yancy was blasted a thousand meters away by a shockwave, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
Fighting Billy, he grew more and more alarmed!
Earlier, Billy had killed his first-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm companion with a single strike, which had already shocked him. He had not held back at all in his attacks.
But after a few rounds, he was even more horrified to find that Billy’s combat strength surpassed his own!
“Who are you?” Reeve Yancy asked Billy in a deep voice after another exchange, his face serious.
“Billy!” Billy replied calmly.
Reeve Yancy’s pupils contracted in shock. “You are Billy?!”
“Correct!” Billy shrugged.
“So it’s you!!” Reeve Yancy exclaimed in surprise.
He finally understood why his opponent had such monstrous combat strength-it was Billy, the legendary prodigy!
Knowing Billy’s identity, Reeve Yancy lost his will to fight. He needed to return quickly to inform the sect leader about Billy.
“Running now is too late!”
Billy chased after him while raising his hand to create a barrier around them.
“Break!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Reeve Yancy didn’t take the barrier seriously and slashed at it with a large blade formed in his hand.
A loud explosion followed as the barrier shattered.
However, he seemed to have forgotten about Billy behind him.
As he slashed out, the Phantom Blade Technique tore through the void and appeared behind him.
Although he dodged the fatal blow at the last moment, a three to four-inch gash appeared on his back, blood gushing out.
“Ugh…” Reeve Yancy groaned as he stumbled forward two to three hundred meters, his combat strength dropping by thirty percent.
Ignoring the wound on his back, Reeve Yancy took a deep breath and dashed forward again.
But in his current state, escape was impossible. Within moments, Billy closed the distance to a few hundred meters.
And then it was over!
With no will to fight left, Reeve Yancy’s head was severed by the Phantom Blade Technique, blood spraying like a fountain!
Soon after, Billy and his group returned to the Alchemists’ Alliance courtyard.
“Mr. Billy is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius. I am deeply impressed!” Samuel said, looking at Billy with admiration.
Samuel himself was at the second-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm. He had thought he would have to risk his life to help Billy today, but it turned out that Billy’s combat strength far exceeded his own!
Liana also wore an expression of disbelief. She finally understood why the young lady had repeatedly emphasized not to underestimate Billy!
“Elder Samuel flatters me!” Billy smiled faintly.
“Mr. Billy, the Yinsha Sect will soon learn that Reeve Yancy has been killed. They…” Liana began.
“No worries!” Billy smiled again and asked, “Chieftain Liana, have you heard of the Netherworld Clan?”
“The Netherworld Clan?” Liana was slightly taken aback. “Why does Mr. Billy suddenly ask about this?”
“The map mentioned by the Yinsha Sect supposedly points to the former headquarters of the Netherworld Clan,” Billy responded.
As he spoke, he had Stout bring out the map.
“So the map they mentioned is of the Netherworld Clan?!” Liana and Samuel exclaimed simultaneously.
“If that person wasn’t lying to us, it should be!” Billy nodded. “What kind of force was the Netherworld Clan?”
“No wonder the Yinsha Sect was chasing you for the map!” Samuel paused before explaining to everyone.
A few minutes later, after hearing his description, Billy and his group had a general understanding.
A thousand years ago, there were five superpowers in this fifth-rank star domain. Besides the current four, there was also the Netherworld Clan!
At that time, the Netherworld Clan was relatively the strongest among the five forces.
They occupied the central region of the fifth-rank star domain and controlled a larger area than any of the other four forces.
For thousands of years, these five forces coexisted peacefully because none could completely dominate the others-not even the Netherworld Clan.
However, a thousand years ago, the then-leader of the Netherworld Clan obtained an extremely evil advanced cultivation technique from somewhere.
The technique was considered evil because it required absorbing other people’s bloodlines for cultivation-the stronger the bloodline absorbed, the faster one’s cultivation would improve.
Without special bloodlines, one would need to absorb large quantities of ordinary warriors’ bloodlines to advance in cultivation.
At that time, fear spread throughout the fifth-rank star domain.
Especially those with unique bloodlines-they lived in constant fear of being captured by the Netherworld Clan and taken to their headquarters.
It was rumored that to break through to Breaking Emptiness Realm, the leader of the Netherworld Clan absorbed nearly ten thousand people’s bloodlines over time.
Eventually, the other four forces decided that if they allowed this to continue, the fifth-rank star domain would become a living hell. They joined forces to attack the Netherworld Clan.
At that time, the leader of the Netherworld Clan was close to reaching the peak of Breaking Emptiness Realm. The strongest among the other four forces was at ninth-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm.
In that battle, tens of thousands died on both sides.
The four strongest from each force fought against the leader of the Netherworld Clan for three days and nights until all five perished together.
Of course, this is just a legend; outsiders don’t know the exact details.
But one thing is certain-none of those five were ever seen again after that battle.
After that battle, the Netherworld Clan was completely destroyed, and their territory was divided among the other four forces.
In the end, only City of the Unclaimed remained independent from these four forces.
“If the Netherworld Clan existed in this fifth-rank star domain for so long, how could no one know where their headquarters was? Why would they need a map?” Casey asked.
“Strictly speaking, this map should be a treasure map of the Netherworld Clan!” Samuel continued.
“Back then, after conquering the Netherworld Clan, tens of thousands rushed into their headquarters searching for treasures.”
“But they were greatly disappointed-the treasures inside were very limited. So everyone speculated that the Netherworld Clan must have hidden their treasures elsewhere.”
“Why not capture some members of the Netherworld Clan and ask them?” Judge asked.
“Of course they did!” Samuel nodded in response.
“But before that battle, all elders of the Netherworld Clan had already been killed. The remaining members didn’t know where the treasures were hidden.”
“Alright!” Judge shrugged.
“Then why has this map suddenly appeared now?” Amber asked.
