The invisible evil power increased as the sound swelled to a crescendo as if the end of the world was
about to descend. Ricky and Mordechai had to gather their strength to form a protective dome, which
shielded them from any potential harm.
"I knew it! There really are living beings here, or maybe those are creatures from the devil race,"
Mordechai muttered with a dark expression.
The second he finished speaking, more than ten dwarfish figures appeared out of thin air, surrounding
him and Ricky.
Each of them stood less than a meter tall, with a dark crimson complexion that seemed almost black.
Their eyes, teeth, skin, and other body parts were also blood-dark.
They looked like infants!
The duo started to sense the incoming creatures and they were not sure if they were blood and meat or
not real.
Some of those infantile creatures began to giggle, while some started to cry. It just made people feel
creepy.
All the while, Ricky and Mordechai observed them silently. They found that every time the mysterious
creatures laughed or cried, more invisible dark evil power was created.
With that realization, Ricky and Mordechai felt even more cautious of the childlike creatures.
The two of them had run into ferocious and blood-thirsty creatures before, but none of those had struck
them worse than these creatures had.
It was like the babyish creatures possessed some kind of magic that made them restless and
weakened their combat powers.
Ricky and Mordechai glanced at each other with confusion written all over their faces.
"W-what the hell are they?" the duo muttered at the same time.
"Oh no! This isn't good!" the Dragon Intent Grass abruptly cried out in alarm.
"Do you know what they are?"
Ricky asked the Dragon Intent Grass.
"Well, you can sense that the evil spirit here is more potent than the Heavenly Jail Evil Spirit, right?" the
Dragon Intent Grass said. "Yes, I noticed that,"
Ricky replied with a frown.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately asked the Dragon Intent Grass,
"Are you trying to say that the evil spirit here is a kind of the ancestry evil spirit?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The evil spirit here is one of the ancestry evil spirits—the Infant
Ancestry Evil Spirit," it replied grimly. "It all makes sense now. Only the ancestry evil spirit can erode
the Desolate Sorcery tribe's ancestral land.
Moreover, these things look like Infant Ancestry Devils, but they are not the real ones. They are not
even real.
That means the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit had formed them," the Dragon Intent Grass explained
further.
"I see. So, these were made from the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit? That means these are the things that
ruined our ancestral land!" Mordechai murmured with a livid face.
"The Infant Ancestry Devils specialize on soul attacks and invisible attacks, as they are a gathering of
the evilest powers in the world. As long as evil power exist, they will never disappear. Judging from
their auras, those beings in front of us have the strength of three-star lower spiritual emperors.
That would explain how they could ruthlessly slaughter your clansmen without mercy.
So, make sure not to do anything reckless! Don't get hit by their invisible and soul attacks," the Dragon
Intent Grass reminded them.
But before Ricky and Mordechai could make their move, a ruckus suddenly erupted from these weird
creatures.
They began growling and crying out, the sounds getting louder and louder by the second.
In an instant, evil and dark powers gathered and rushed toward the duo to attack their souls.
Without wasting any second, Mordechai and Ricky activated all their powers to defend themselves from
the attacks.
However, it seemed that their efforts were in vain, as the attacks easily broke through their defenses
and struck them with a loud crack.
In no time, both Ricky's and Mordechai's souls had suffered grave injuries.
Blood flowed from the side of their mouths, and they started to grow weaker and weaker.
"This can't be happening!
How did they get through all our defenses?" the pair cried out in chorus, their eyebrows scrunched in
pain.
"I told you their attacks are composed of evil powers. That means they can utilize any evil energy.
Although you two are righteous people, you can't deny that you still have some darkness in you.
After all, any act of taking a life is evil, and you have both taken lives before.
You're lucky they are not real Infant Ancestry Devils. If they were, you would be dead already," the
Dragon Intent Grass said.
"We don't have the time for your lecture. Just tell us what we should do,"
Ricky said urgently.
"Well, as far as I know, evil things like them are frightened by both fire and justice powers. Your
physical strength is basically useless right now because their attacks are mainly soul attacks, just like
what you have seen earlier.
Back then, the Desolate Sorcery tribe broke into the Devil Land, but they lost the ensuing battle
because there were too many Infant Ancestry Devils in the Devil Land. They were no match to the
latter, because of their soul attacks," the Dragon Intent Grass told them.
"Is that so? That must be how the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit is corrupting the Desolate Sorcery tribe's
ancestral land too," Ricky intoned. Then, he turned to his companion and said,
"I'll take care of this, Mordechai.
You can get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Mordechai immediately nodded in agreement. He collected his strength to protect
his body and soul, recovering energy at the same time.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he could feel that the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit had weakened him
to an extent. The power of his Sorcerous Combat Body had decreased by forty percent because of the
suppression of the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit.
"Chaotic Fire Mutant!" Ricky yelled out.
Immediately, a consuming fire enveloped his body, as the ten types of sacred fire and peculiar fire
spread and formed a small world.
The Fire Dragon Extremity also morphed into a saber and emerged from his hand.
At the same time, he released the ancestral thunder power.
Just as the Dragon Intent Grass said, the power of these creepy creatures' invisible and soul attacks
soon began to wane. Ricky's negative feelings gradually disappeared as well.
The dark power around him had dissipated.
"Come out, Furnace of Heaven and Earth!"
Without any hesitation, Ricky activated his Golden Spirit Eyes and unleashed his most powerful fire
Omnipotent Skill.
He waved his hand up and down, and the world formed by the ten kinds of sacred flames and the
peculiar fire instantly turned into the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
In the next moment, the furnace came down like punishment from the heavens, trapping all the Infant
Ancestry Devils in it.
Numerous explosions abruptly took place within the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
And in the blink of an eye, with an unbearable shrill cry of an infant, the furnace broke into pieces.
With the furnace broken, Ricky recalled all the flames, which shrouded him in an infernal storm. In the
next breath, a gigantic figure appeared.
It turned out that those monsters had fused into a bigger one in order to struggle out of the Furnace of
Heaven and Earth. Of course, the only reason they could merge was because they weren't real Infant
Ancestry Devils, and thus, they didn't have any flesh so that they could be fused into one.
Ricky smirked. He was expecting that from the beginning.
He let out an unimpressed snort and commented, "I was waiting for you to become one."
Under his control, the Fire Dragon Extremity, which had earlier transformed into a flaming saber
trembled as he summoned it.
It then slashed at the gigantic infant as if the saber had a mind of its own.
This strike contained all of Ricky's strength and the justice power that he had borrowed from the Divine
Manor.
It was evident, at that moment, that a white force had surrounded the saber like a force field. It was a
manifestation of the justice power.
Still, the gigantic devil didn't give up. It opened its mouth, and immense Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit
poured out and formed a dark crimson iron chain, which rushed toward Ricky.
That was a soul attack, aiming to tether his soul.
"Humph! Do you think you can touch my soul with my Fire Dragon Extremity and justice power around?
Don't be so naive!" Ricky sneered defiantly.
