At that moment, Norris clapped his hands, and his eyes turned into blood-black. Soon after, he created
an evil world around his body. Before long, the evil spirit inside the said world grew more violent as it
surging like the tide. The world became dark, with huge black trees emerging one after another.
These trees were evil trees.
Evil spirit could evolve from these trees. Needless to say, at that moment, the Nether Manor's evil world
was transformed into the homeland of devils.
"Here come the evil trees! Die from these evil flowers!"
At that moment, the devilish world was shrinking. Soon after, numerous evil trees were gathered and
fused together, embracing Norris. Suddenly, a huge black evil tree emerged and occupied the whole
void, unleashing a rush of power toward the Evil Mandragora and Mason.
"After I kill you two middle spiritual emperors, my aura and strength will be more stable!" Norris said in
a bloodthirsty tone as he licked his lips.
After the said giant evil tree grew to a certain height, a gigantic flower bloomed on it.
Soon after, the flower emitted a strong demeanor, filling the entire void. Then, it locked the location of
Mason and the Evil Mandragora before it rushed towards them ferociously.
At that moment, they felt the smell of death apart from the evil spirit that prevailed the surroundings.
And as soon as the evil flower engulfed them, Mason and the Evil Mandragora felt that they had fallen
into hell.
Without thinking twice, they instantly activated their powers to the extreme to counterattack.
"Array! Rule! Come out and fight for me!"
Mason roared out loud. Soon after, patterns appeared in the void, covering the entire place in purple as
if the purple Flood Dragons had invaded the area.
Due to the power that the array brought, Mason had improved his own power further.
At that moment, purple patterns spread all over, forming a mountain made of ruling power behind him.
"Suppress him!" Mason shouted.
Meanwhile, the Evil Mandragora spread out her hands, and the evil spirit poured out of her palms,
blossoming like a flower as well. Unfortunately for Norris, the Evil Mandragora's flower was far more
superior to his in terms of appearance and quality.
But it was actually reasonable without a doubt. This was because the Evil Mandragora was unique in
the entire world and the flower if created was definitely way powerful than any other evil flower.
"Mandragora! Bring me the sword!"
Soon after, the mandragora flower bloomed, pushing out an enormous evil sword in its center, which
headed towards Norris at full speed.
Boom! At that moment, three extremely powerful attacks—the flower, the sword, and the mountain, all
collided with one another.
In an instant, the void was broken, and the air waves swept across the entire area, submerging
everything on its way. The whole scene was like numerous volcanoes erupted and crashed with one
another, like there was an apocalypse.
Everything calmed down little by little after a long while.
As soon as everything was dying down, two disheveled figures shot out of nowhere. They were
Manson and the Evil Mandragora. Meanwhile, their pale bodies didn't stop falling from a long distance
in the void. When they crashed on the ground, both of their bodies looked battered, with bruising on the
corners of their mouths.
On the surface, it appeared that they only sustained minor injuries. However, they knew how much
damage was done to them internally. Inside their bodies, their internal organs broke because of the
huge impact and they were losing the blood essence.
Most of all, their souls suffered the most damage by Norris' savage attack.
Perhaps, at this point, they only had half of their original strength left.
On the other hand, Soar and the others saw what had happened. Their faces and eyes darkened, for
they did not expect this to happen at all. In fact, they had been so confident that Mason and the Evil
Mandragora were already more than enough to deal with everything and keep the situation under
control.
Now, the result was miserable for their side. Nobody had expected that Norris would become this
invincible.
"Damn it! What kind of great opportunity did that old man get? I can't believe he has made such huge
progress in only two years. He can even recover faster than Evil Mandragora who uses the divine
power," Soar said in an irritated manner.
"Things are bad right now. I just hope that my master and the Evil Mandragora still have other trump
cards up their sleeves," Autelan said grimly.
At that moment, Manson and the Evil Mandragora felt the heaviness in their hearts. It was not until this
time did they realize that Norris had become so powerful. As far as they could remember, Norris and
the two of them only had little difference in terms of realm, but it was quite baffling that this small
difference was enough to create a huge gap in terms of strength.
On the other hand, Mason and the Evil Mandragora surely had some trump cards up their sleeves, but
so did Norris.
And besides, by now, the two of them had almost lost half of their power. Norris was clearly at an
advantage now.
"Now, show me what you are made of!" Norris yelled disdainfully as he emerged from the air waves.
At this moment, he placed his hands behind his back and looked down at everyone with his arrogant
eyes.
But in his defense, he had the strength to act this way. After defeating the two two-star middle spiritual
emperors, he was still at peak state as if he did not lose any of his energy.
After recovering their strength, the Old Oriental Emperor and the others exclaimed seriously as they
stood up and walked to the side of Mason and the Evil Mandragora, "We swore to fight you till the end."
"Humph! You stupid idiots! You think too highly of yourselves. Since you are in such a hurry to meet
death, then allow me to help you. You are nothing but weak ants to me! Go ahead and fight me
together!" said Norris monotonously.
Soon after, he gained control of the evil tree again and launched an attack towards the Old Oriental
Emperor and his companions.
"Please let me fight the rest of this battle!" another voice echoed at the moment. When they looked up,
they saw a young man with white hair came in mid-air. After looking at the figure more carefully, they all
realized that Ricky was there to their aid.
At that moment, the Old Oriental Emperor and the others were surprised to see Ricky at his current
state.
They knew at first glance that it was Ricky. However, his change was just too great. Ricky did not
disguise himself now.
"Long time no see, everyone!" Ricky greeted the spiritual emperors through telepathy. "Sirs, let's talk
about the good old days after we kill this one!"
"Wait, are you Ricky?" Norris asked after giving a second glance. He hated Ricky no less than he hated
the Evil Mandragora because she followed Ricky's orders.
"You have a good vision, Norris. I didn't expect that you would make such big progress in less than
three years. Fortunately, I wasn't too late. Otherwise, the Eastern Land would become your territory,"
Ricky answered.
"R...Ricky?" At this moment, Ricky's name rang a bell to the mind of everyone who was there. After all,
this name was a legend in the Eastern Land.
"Ha-ha. What did you say? Fortunately, you came back just in the nick of time? I can't believe you are
still as arrogant as before. Even though you have become a demi-spiritual emperor, you still do not
have the right to talk to me like this!" Norris mumbled helplessly and angrily upon hearing Ricky's
words.
"Masters, please let me fight Norris alone while you kill the other members of the Nether Manor," Ricky
said telepathically again. "Recently, I have unexpectedly gained some power. I just want to put it to the
test, if you'd let me."
"Just as I have suspected. You stayed not to fight with that spiritual emperor," Mason commented.
Needless to say, they were more curious about what kind of power Ricky had gotten that made him so
confident.
At that moment, they didn't think Ricky was talking big, because after so many things had happened,
they had already trusted Ricky unequivocally.
Even though Ricky had been away for almost three years, the Old Oriental Emperor and the others still
believed in him. Perhaps, it was his charm that made him very likable.
"So, will there be any aftereffect?" Mason asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. It's not like the last time," Ricky answered in a smiling tone.
After that, Mason and the Evil Mandragora stepped a few meters back, while Ricky went forward and
continued the battle with Norris.
On the other hand, this confused the minds of the bystanders, making them think to themselves, 'Will
he take over the rest of the battle?'
"What? You want to fight me?" Norris asked in disbelief.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? Let me fight the rest of the battle," Ricky sneered.
