The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 535 Breaking Through the "Mirror"

"H-How is this possible? You, you not only broke through to the God-Emperor Realm, but also... achieved the Grand Mastery of a War God-Emperor?" After a long while, Rukchi spoke again with difficulty, coughing up blood as he did.

As he spoke, the question Billy had asked him earlier involuntarily resurfaced in his mind. "What if you can't kill me today? How will Aquilandia deal with the aftermath?" "Surprised, aren't you?" Billy spoke calmly.

As Rukchi had said, he had indeed broken through to the God-Emperor Realm. In fact, over a year ago, Billy had already glimpsed the light of the War God-Emperor realm. However, due to injuries, his cultivation had rapidly declined, dropping all the way to the War Grandmaster realm. Over the past year, as his injuries gradually improved, his cultivation naturally recovered, and half a year ago, he had already returned to his peak state.

If he had wanted to, he could have broken through to the God-Emperor Realm several months ago. He had held back for multiple reasons. One was because he had a mission, and breaking into the Emperor Realm would bring various restrictions. As a native of the Ether Mountain, he had to follow the strict rule that God-Emperor Realm experts were not allowed to attack lower-ranked warriors proactively. So, he had deliberately kept his cultivation at the half-step War God-Emperor stage until now. The decision to break through to the God-Emperor Realm had both tactical and strategic reasons--he needed the power for the current life-and-death situation and the challenges he would face in the future. Moreover, he had a feeling that the centuries-old rule of the Ether Mountain would soon be lifted. When that happened, the God-Emperor Realm experts hidden within the ancient families and martial sects would emerge, and the martial world would enter a turbulent and precarious era.

Therefore, he had decided that the time was right to break through. As for his rapid advancement to the Grand Mastery of the War God-Emperor realm, it was the result of his accumulated power over the past half year. Even before reaching the realm, he had achieved the level of a War God-Emperor, so once he reached the realm, reaching Grand Mastery was a natural progression.

"It's impossible! Impossible!" George still couldn't accept this reality, wearing a near-desperate expression on his face. He had meticulously planned this scheme, thinking it would be an easy kill of Billy Gardner, but the outcome had been completely different.

The best-laid schemes of mice and men often go awry!

Rukchi let out a heavy sigh. Then, he looked at the ten or so people still standing and said in a solemn tone, "We have no way out now. Let's attack together, and perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope!" "Let's do it!" The two War God-Emperor experts in the Grand Mastery realm shouted simultaneously, unleashing their full power.

Meanwhile, the fifteen War God-Emperor experts, playing their trump cards, formed a formidable lineup.

"You're underestimating me!" Billy squinted. As he spoke, he took two steps forward, and with a flick of his wrist, a blood-red blade aura slashed out, forming a half-moon-shaped crimson blade that shot out like lightning.

Without any hesitation, the others each took a deep breath and exerted their full power, charging forward. The fifteen War God-Emperor experts went all out, displaying the full extent of their strength. Their formation was astonishing.

"You're overestimating yourselves!" Billy's eyes narrowed.

With that said, Billy took two steps forward, his wrist flicked, and the Bloodshadow Fury Blade swept out horizontally, creating a half-moon-shaped crimson blade aura that shot out from the void. This attack wasn't elaborate; it wasn't the Bloodshadow Blade Technique. But even this casual strike filled the enemy with despair.

Seeing the lightning-fast blood-red blade aura, many of them felt a sense of dread. They were pale, trembling, and found themselves unable to escape the incoming attack. After the blade aura passed, eleven heads soared into the sky. Many of those who had been struck wore a relieved expression.

Rukchi and George had suffered deep wounds to their chests, and they bled profusely, remaining unconscious for a while. Both of them had War God-Emperor abilities, and the fact that they had survived was clearly a deliberate act by Billy; otherwise, they would have perished.

The two War God-Emperor experts in the Grand Mastery realm had also been injured by the blade aura but were slightly better off than Rukchi and George. They had slid back about fifty meters but managed to regain their footing.

"Impressive, the long-awaited genius

of Glavale!" one of the elders said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. After a brief pause, he continued, "Now, King of the West, please don't hold back, and fight with all your might. If I'm not as skilled as you, I'll have no regrets."

The other expert, after coughing up some blood, also looked at Billy and spoke with a solemn tone.

"King of the West, I know I may not be your match, but I hope you'll use the Bloodshadow Blade Technique. Let me witness it." Said he.

At this moment, the two of them were no longer focused on anything other than martial arts.

"Go ahead!" Billy said in a deep voice. "As you wish!"

"Thank you!" The two elders exchanged glances and launched their attacks.

In the next moment, the

God-Emperor's might of the two elders materialized above their heads. The elder from Northfortia had a huge battle axe, surrounded by thunder and far stronger than elder they had encountered in the Place of Darkness. The Aquilandian elder's God-Emperor's might took the form of an unknown beast with double horns, scales all over its body, and an aura of hell. Then, God-Emperor's might of the two elders advanced towards Billy, creating a formidable force that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.

"Bloodshadow Blade, Heavens Incinerating!"

As Billy shouted, a blade-shaped phantom descended from the sky, painting the entire void like a sunset glow.

The God-Emperor's might of the two elders proved utterly powerless against the Bloodshadow Blade Technique and instantly shattered, dissipating into nothingness.

The momentum of the blade didn't

diminish as it continued to descend,

creating a terrifying rift that

extended all the way to the

mountains behind the base. Several buildings, rocks, and trees were completely reduced to rubble and the area was filled with dust and debris. The walls surrounding the base collapsed, sending dust and rocks flying.

Simultaneously, the violent shockwave sent the two elders soaring into the air. They flew hundreds of meters like kites with their strings cut before crashing to the ground. Their bones were shattered, and their meridians were severed.

"B-Bloodshadow Blade Technique, indeed... worthy of its reputation." One of them struggled to speak before taking his last breath.

"Glavale... is truly blessed. To have a talent like you... its golden age of a thousand years is on the horizon." The other said before a massive amount of blood poured from his mouth.

Afterward, they closed their eyes, and heads drooped, their life force extinguished.

At this point, of the forty War Emperor experts, only Rukchi and George were barely clinging to life. The others had all fallen.
