Chapter 1364 Borrowing Life From Death
The three one-star middle spiritual emperors at peak state had banded together to attack Ricky with a
waterfall strike combined with the poisonous evil spirit. Seeing this, Ricky couldn't help but feel
threatened by their allied strength.
"This isn't good! I'm only as strong as a one-star middle spiritual emperor at peak state," Ricky said to
the Dragon Intent Grass through telepathy, feeling lightly alarmed. "Back when I was a one-star lower
spiritual emperor, I could fight on par with a two-star lower spiritual emperor.
But now, I can't even challenge a two-star middle spiritual emperor. It looks like I can't challenge
warriors at higher levels from now on."
"Lad, just be content that you could still do that when you were at the Emperor Level,"
the Dragon Intent Grass reminded.
The grass was afraid that Ricky would insist on challenging those who were stronger than him, which
might lead to his downfall.
"Don't worry. I won't let it affect my progress in martial arts,"
Ricky reassured.
Even though he hated it, he knew it was unlikely that he could still challenge anyone at a higher level in
the future. It wasn't because he had become less talented, but it was because the heavenly law would
not allow him to do so any longer.
And now, as Ricky looked at the falling Poisonous Waterfall, he was well prepared.
The moment it came close enough, the Evil Devouring Mouth materialized behind Ricky in an instant
and the enormous mouth opened, swallowing down all the poisonous evil spirit in one gulp.
"Nether power!"
At his bidding, the nether power came out, transformed into the nether world, and devoured the
Poisonous Waterfall.
"Turn into a black vortex! Now!"
Ricky's transformation power drove the nether power to condense into a vortex, which then
immediately absorbed the entire Poisonous Waterfall, annihilating it in the blink of an eye.
Even after this destructive effect, the vortex continued to transform into three nether fists that struck the
three devils, respectively.
The three devils could do nothing. The blow left them with varying degrees of injuries.
Meanwhile, Mordechai had gained the upper hand against the two devils. His Sorcerous Combat Body
had grown even stronger than Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body, and it perturbed his two opponents when
they couldn't break through his defense at all. How could they win against an enemy they couldn't hurt?
As for Peter and the others, they had also successfully backed their opponents into a corner.
It was only at this point that these devils, who came of their own accord to avenge their companions,
realized how powerful Ricky and his companions truly were. No wonder they destroyed the stronghold
and slaughtered all the devils guarding it.
"Kill them!" Unfortunately, even though they regretted their decision, the devils couldn't escape now.
They had no choice but to fight.
At their wits' end, the three devils fighting against Ricky went berserk to the extreme and unleashed all
their might, knowing that they couldn't defeat him with anything less than their strongest power. They
also figured that Ricky was the strongest among these people, so if they wanted to win, they had to cut
them off by the head, so to speak.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The extreme berserk empowered the three devils' bodies and strength, making them stronger and
faster as they formed a circle around Ricky.
At the same time, blood essence spilled from between their eyebrows like sweat.
Ricky could tell that these three devils' bodies were burning their life essence just to take him down.
Indeed, they were desperate to win.
"Poisonous Crystal!"
The next moment, the three devils merged their poisonous evil spirit with the power of their blood
essence and life essence. It took the shape of an eight-sided crystal, which then encompassed Ricky.
"Do you think you can imprison me?"
Ricky uttered as he looked at them with disdain.
With the burst of the Ancestral Intent Formula, he condensed the mutant power into his golden body's
right fist. He combined it with the chaotic power and the chromatic energy as well and used it to strike
at his crystal prison.
Bang! Bang!
But to Ricky's surprise, his strongest punch barely left a mark on the Poisonous Crystal. It didn't look
like it would break anytime soon.
"How is this possible? What is this?"
Ricky could only gape in shock.
He should be no weaker than these three devils. Although the three of them had combined force and
used their life essence and blood essence power, the difference between their strength shouldn't be so
vast.
"I can't believe their power increased so much! Their life essence shouldn't have made this much
difference!" Ricky wracked his brain for an explanation. He couldn't believe it!
"Actually, it wasn't their power that increased so much. It's because this Omnipotent Skill is exceedingly
powerful!"
the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"Are you scared now, you weakling from the continent? Do you realize how weak you are in front of
us?"
the three devils hissed at Ricky as they glared at him viciously. "This is the supreme Omnipotent Skill of
our Black Poison Devil tribe. We had to use half of our life essence to activate it, but it's worth it
because it will turn you into dust."
"Oh, I see. That is your supreme Omnipotent Skill, huh?" Ricky murmured thoughtfully after hearing the
three devils' words. "Do you think this thing is strong enough to kill me?"
"Of course! You are just a low life from the continent. We'll see if you can still talk arrogantly after this."
The next second, the three devils activated the Poisonous Crystal again, their eyes gleaming with
determination to kill Ricky.
Soon, the Poisonous Crystal started to shrink until it was smaller than a grain of dust.
The potent evil spirit in the crystal continuously increased as well and wore Ricky down.
But he wasn't afraid at all. After all, he had the Devourer Zone.
"This Omnipotent Skill is truly powerful! No wonder it's their supreme skill. If your opponent was
weaker, it could have corroded them until there was nothing left." Ricky couldn't help but sigh as he
gazed at the shrinking Poisonous Crystal with awe.
"Unfortunately for you, I am your enemy. I may not be able to break through this crystal, but I can get
out of here if I want."
"You're just bluffing. I doubt you can do anything at all,"
the three devils sneered in reply, compelling the Poisonous Crystal to shrink faster.
"It's such a shame that you have burnt half of your life essence. But that's okay. I'll just take the
remaining half from you."
A wicked smile graced Ricky's thin lips.
"Turn back the time!"
Ricky shouted and consumed his life. The time around him instantly reversed to an hour ago. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
And because he wasn't inside the Poisonous Crystal an hour ago, he was able to come out of it
unscathed.
"What? That's not possible! How could you turn back time?"
Seeing what had happened, the three devils couldn't believe their eyes.
They felt the strong time power that emanated from Ricky, but their minds had frozen in shock.
"Space-shrinking Pace!" Ricky took advantage of the three devils' shock and moved.
In the blink of an eye, he burst out the Space-shrinking Pace and struck the devils with three equally
powerful punches.
If he had done this earlier while the devils were at peak state, they could have kept up with Ricky's
Space-shrinking Pace. But now, they had burned half of their life essence, and as such, they had been
significantly weakened.
Although Ricky had consumed his life with the earlier skill he used, it didn't have any effect on his
fighting power, unlike what the devils had done.
Thus, his three punches struck them down without mercy, and each one ended up with grave injuries.
Everyone in the vicinity was astounded.
Mordechai and his companions gaped in surprised silence, while the devils were miserable with fear
and despair.
"Now, I'm going to take your lives!"
After saying this, Ricky stood up stiffly and loomed over all three devils. The next move he planned was
cruel, but considering that his opponents were devils, Ricky felt like it was justified.
As soon as the words fell from his mouth, the Life and Death River emerged behind Ricky like a
shadow.
"Omnipotent Skill—Borrowing Life from Death!"
A few seconds later, the power of death and life flowed out from Ricky's body like a river. Similar to
most primitive dark and light energies, it swept through everything in its path and evolved into the
picture of life and death.
The overflowing power bowled over the three injured devils, where the two kinds of power—the life and
death power—instantly poured into their battered bodies.
Immediately, the three devils collapsed in great pain.
Worse, their life essence rapidly fell, as Ricky's Life and Death River steadily absorbed it.
Before long, it merged fully into Ricky's body through the Life and Death River.
The three devils were left with their last gasp, steadily weakening, while in sharp contrast, Ricky's
breath of life rapidly grew stronger.
