When Tony saw the instant change in Ricky, he was shocked, speechless and numb. Sawyer, too, was
astounded to the core. However, they didn't have the luxury of time to indulge in shock, as both of their
lives were at stake.
Sawyer had to kill Ricky's three replications as soon as possible, while Tony had to resist Ricky's fatal
attack with all his strength.
"Come out, my swords!"
Tony exclaimed as blood essence came out from between his eyebrows, and at once, intense sword
light burst out from every pore of his body. The sword light swept around with great momentum and
formed ten swords over his head.
Then they enlarged and grew rather big.
Merged with the blood essence, they gave out the brightest light, and collided against Ricky's strike.
On the other hand, Sawyer also burst out his most potent power. He activated his devil blood power
and turned into his devil shape, trying to kill Ricky's replications in one strike.
However, with the six mutants, the chromatic energy, and the chaotic power, Ricky's Shadowy
Replications had eighty percent of his best skills. Thus, they had no difficulty resisting Sawyer for a
while.
Boom!
Ricky's and Tony's attacks collided once again.
This time, there was a massive gap between the two's power. The ten swords could not stop Ricky's
strike at all, while Ricky destroyed Tony's attack as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten
wood.
Ricky didn't withdraw his power until he had cut Tony's body in half.
Afterward, he released the devouring power to absorb Tony's dead body and soul, which would serve
as nourishment for his Blood Vitality Devouring Skill.
Queenie had been observing him through all these.
'Hmm...It looks like he has completely refined the other half pistil. His strength is now equal to that of a
one-star lower spiritual emperor at peak state, ' Queenie thought to herself upon seeing what was
happening.
'It appears that the Devouring Mutant is truly powerful.
But the power of a one-star lower spiritual emperor at peak state should be the upper limit of an
incredible demi-spiritual emperor.
I can still surpass him in our ancestral land.'
Soon, Sawyer defeated Ricky's replications, but it was too late. Ricky had already killed Tony.
"I have never heard of an incredible demi-spiritual emperor who has six mutants and the chaotic power.
As I stand here facing you, I cannot help but feel scared," Sawyer solemnly admitted. But contrary to
his words, he looked calm as he stood opposite Ricky.
At this moment, he had to admit that he met a tough opponent.
But despite Ricky's strength, he was still confident. He believed that Ricky could not kill him for the time
being, and that thought empowered him greatly.
"I'm curious. Although you activated the Veritable Nether Body, you didn't activate your devilish blood
power. That is to say, when you fought against my three Shadowy Replications, you didn't use your full
strength," Ricky said out of curiosity.
"In other words, you didn't really want to save Tony."
"Even if I tried my best, I would still not be able to save him," Sawyer said lightly. "I believe that you
know this too. Otherwise, you would have summoned more replications."
"Exactly, but you didn't even use your human blood power. Even if you knew that you couldn't save
him, as a friend, you should have done your best," Ricky commented.
"Fine, you are right. I didn't want to save Tony. If I used all my strength earlier, I know that I could have
saved him. I have that much confidence in my abilities," admitted Sawyer.
"Then why didn't you?" Ricky asked.
"Because a strong warrior will not tolerate anyone who makes him unhappy. Since Tony dared cast his
greedy eyes on Queenie, he was already doomed to die. Moreover, his clan required too many
Treasures from Heaven and Earth from us due to the journey to this place. That's why I have to make
them pay something,"
Sawyer answered.
"Oh, I see. Such being the case, you should thank me for killing him," Ricky said.
"You did a great job with that! Otherwise, I would have had to kill him myself. Now, I can say that you
killed him, and it is the truth. Even if the leaders of his clan get suspicious and investigate, they will still
conclude that you were the one who killed Tony," Sawyer explained lengthily with a triumphant look on
his face.
"Your idea sounds good. But unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten one point—since Tony died,
you lost an ally," reminded Ricky. "Ha-ha, Ricky, you're truly the one and only incredible demi-spiritual
emperor in the past several eras. But with your current strength, you can't kill me.
Now that I have obtained the Glazed Fruit, I don't need Tony's help anymore," Sawyer answered with a
sly smirk.
"Well, it all depends on how strong you are. Let's see if you can get out of here today!" Ricky finally
declared in a low voice before he headed to Sawyer, preparing to attack.
"Humph!" With a quiet grunt, Sawyer's Veritable Nether Body grew larger.
It was not until this moment that he truly burst out his devilish blood power.
Amid the dark evil spirit, a gust of violent purple power was released. Sawyer's devil's body
transformed into purple and black, and his body grew twice as big as that of Queenie's.
Ricky was slightly alarmed when he felt that his devilish power, as it was as powerful as the most
violent energy in the depths of his Chaotic Fire Zone.
'This power is indeed ferocious! Is it Sawyer's devilish blood power?' Ricky thought to himself.
"This is the Wild Purple Devil blood power, formed by fusing the most violent power in the world and
the evil power. It is also one of the eight major blood powers of the devil race," Queenie said
telepathically.
"Be careful, Ricky! This kind of blood power can become berserk infinitely.
Devils are born to go berserk without any side effect, but normally they can only grow berserk at two
levels. On the other hand, the Wild Purple Devil blood power can go berserk at infinite levels.
According to the information I received, Sawyer should be able to go berserk to the fourth level now, for
he has already in the berserk state at the third level now."
"I got it," Ricky murmured, growing more serious.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next moment, Ricky and Sawyer crashed against each other, and the collision was all about
physical collision, the most primitive kind.
The Wild Purple Devil blood power was indeed powerful. Ricky could say that he had never met an
opponent with a human body as sturdy and robust as Sawyer's.
It was also the first time that he had failed to gain the upper hand with his Ultimate Golden Body while
fighting against an opponent of the same level.
After hundreds of collisions, Ricky felt a sharp pain under his body.
Meanwhile, the expressions on Sawyer's face indicated that he was not feeling better than Ricky.
"I have to admire your golden body. I can't believe it's as strong as my corporeal body which has
finished berserk of three levels," Sawyer said coldly. "But today, since you are courting death, I'll satisfy
you."
His wide eyes turned a shade of purplish-black once again, and his devilish body rose as well.
"The fourth level!"
With a thunderous shout, Sawyer directly entered the state of berserk at the fourth level. In an instant,
Ricky immediately felt a strong suppression on his body.
"I have never been suppressed by any opponent of the same level in terms of physical strength. Today
won't be an exception," Ricky declared fearlessly. He believed that he was destined to step on an
incredible path that was different from any other creature's journey. And he would never allow himself
to fall behind in any way.
With the help of the Ancestral Intent Formula, the six mutants ran amok all over the place.
Simultaneously, Ricky's body evolved from twenty feet tall to thirty feet tall.
