"That's the Regenerating Pill!" the warriors from the Jiang Clan exclaimed when they saw Ricky swallow a pill that looked like the Regenerating Pill. They were the first to recognize the pill, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"How can it be possible? That is an exceptional pill! It's exceptionally ancient and its formula is believed to have already been lost in time!" Some of the warriors rubbed their eyes, again and again, trying to see the pill more clearly as if it would help them believe what had just happened right in front of their eyes.
Once the initial commotion wore thin, greed was written all over their faces. This was a golden opportunity. If they could just snatch even one of those pills from Ricky, they might be able to figure out its formula and produce as many as they wanted. They thought that it would definitely bring enormous profits to the Jiang Clan.
But the warriors from the Jiang Clan were not the only ones who coveted the pill; those disciples who thought highly of Ricky had also begun to hatch their own plans of acquiring the pill from him. They just couldn't resist the temptation after they saw the legendary pill.
"Anyone who would take a Regenerating Pill would have the ability for instant recovery. How could this young man be in possession of such kind of a magic pill? It seems like he might have been lucky enough to have access to some secret place," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said with astonishment.
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Ricky returned to his peak form. With the help of the Regenerating Pill, Ricky could perform his best for at least the next two days. Given that situation, it looked like defeating those lightning warriors would be a piece of cake for him.
After taking the pill, Ricky immediately felt refreshed, like his batteries had just been recharged and he now had boundless power. With so much astonishment, he examined his body and found out that his first level of Ultimate Golden Body was giving off a green glow, a sign of bursting vitality. Without a doubt, the Regenerating Pill's healing ability was out of this world.
"What powerful energy it has!" Ricky couldn't help but murmur to himself. 'Now, I shall take this advantage and bring those lightning warriors down as quickly as possible. After I accomplish that, I will undoubtedly become an innate spirit. Come with your most powerful Thunderstroke Doom. Even with that, you wouldn't be able to stop me now!' Ricky thought with excitement, the desire to win running vigorously through his veins.
Now that it seemed like becoming an innate spirit was within his reach, he couldn't wait to win this fight and make the breakthrough.
"Power of Four Runes—Heaven Illuminating Fire!" After taking a deep breath, Ricky exclaimed from the depths of his heart. Then, his most powerful and sweeping attack thus far was launched.
An endless storm was created from within Ricky. Simultaneously, the power of his four kinds of runes erupted, threatening to cover the whole sky. Then, a surge of black flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than the Heaven Illuminating Fire.
"Your Thunderstroke Doom is meant to destroy me, huh? In that case, try my Heaven Illuminating Fire—the eternal flame that is born to burn everything in this world to ashes, including you!"
As soon as Ricky had done speaking, a furious roar resounded throughout the area.
In a heartbeat, all the remaining lightning warriors launched their thunder attacks. The thunderbolts that they released fused with each other to form a huge wall that blocked out the sun. It came rushing towards Ricky with one goal in mind—to devour him and the storm of flame he produced.
Then, another loud thud reverberated across the land, assaulting anyone's ears who was within miles of it.
The next instant, two tides of strikes met violently and created an earthquake. When the walls of flame and thunderbolts touched, they crashed against one another and turned into endless powerful ripples that lashed out against everything around it. Soon enough, anything within its proximity was drowned out by the impact, the sounds, and the light as well. There was no doubt that it was like the end of the world.
Boom! Boom! Boom! For quite a long time, only the endless sound of thunder could be heard from the sky. The already countless thunders continued to increase as they blazed their colorful light into the earth. It looked like there were broken pieces of Ricky's flame falling amidst the demented dropping of thunderbolts.
At that moment, all the warriors from the Bu Clan, Bing Clan, and the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce all chuckled to themselves. They exclaimed, "Let the thunder and lightning be the last thing you see before you die, you vicious thing!" They truly believed that Ricky had already met his doom.
'This is the last round of the Thunderstroke Doom that you will have to take, Ricky. You mustn't die! If you survive it, the road to the world of the martial arts will be shown to you. Hold on. You just recently proved yourself to be an ace genius that this world could only see in a million generations. Don't give up, ' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor prayed quietly in his mind.
As a matter of fact, the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor and all the warriors were watching the fight with a heavy heart. They were all worried about Ricky. It was not until the whole sky was covered by thunderstroke that they realized that the Regenerating Pill might be of little help in this kind of situation.
At this point, the lasting roar of the thunders seemed to be the only sound in this world. Everyone felt like they had died and been already buried to the ground. No one dared to make a sound as they held their breaths and waited to see how things were going to unfold.
Such a silence seemed to last for eternity.
Finally, when the thunderbolts from the sky started to abate and the Thunderstroke Doom was slowly fading away, no one could feel a bit of energy that would have come from Ricky. In fact, his energy seemed to have been drowned from the very beginning.
Of course, while the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor and the completed spiritual kings were feeling overjoyed about Ricky's triumph, they also started to ponder over the black flame that Ricky had just emitted. It was the first time that they had witnessed a fire that could burn up the thunderbolts. For this reason, the flame intrigued them a lot.
To be honest, they began to doubt whether the Heaven Illuminating Fire that Ricky used was merely an ordinary kind of holy fire at all. After all, no holy fire that existed could be this fierce and intense to the extent that it could even burn the most destructive thunderbolts.
"So this is the most powerful Thunderstroke Doom that you can generate? Sorry, it's only a stepping-stone for me on my road of martial arts!" Ricky suddenly exclaimed in a voice full of pride and unscrupulousness that resounded throughout the space.
After he had finished speaking, a golden flash sprang out of him. It then intertwined with the dragon of Heaven Illuminating Fire. Within a second, it looked like it was aiming for the remaining thunderbolts high in the air.
Right then, it was time for Ricky's killing spree. He was the predator instead of the prey right now. And those destructive thunderbolts who were mighty a few moments ago turned into the deserters under his attacks.
When the whole thing was finally coming to an end, and everyone else had finally come to their senses, they marveled at Ricky's ability. But on the inside, they were starting to fear him as well. This was no doubt the most overbearing and decisive way to survive a Thunderstroke Doom.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was unprecedented. Moreover, they were quite sure that no one could replicate what Ricky had done in the future.
At that moment, all of them were reconsidering their previous plans of taking any treasures from that young man. If a deadly strike like the most powerful Thunderstroke Doom would run from him like a dog with a tail tucked between its legs, could any of them inflict to him the slightest harm? Now, that sounded like the real joke.
It might not be the most accurate way to describe what happened, but there was no doubt that Ricky left quite an impression on them with that fight.
Soon, the Thunderstroke Doom had totally vanished, leaving Ricky, who had beaten it off. He had finally set his foot on the road to the top of an inner spirit and he could actually taste the sweetness of success in his mouth. It was a triumphant moment for this ace genius.
Floating in the middle of the air, Ricky folded his wings of spiritual energy. He then stood firmly with the power of his zones circling around him.
