The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 535

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.
