'Invincible Nirvana!' Ricky thought, once he had heard what the Dragon Intent Grass had to say.
Everyone on the continent knew about this Omnipotent Skill of the Phoenix tribe.
There were nine levels in total about this skill. The blood power of the members of the Phoenix tribe
was upgraded to a higher level with each jump in the level of Invincible Nirvana. As a matter of fact, the
blood power of the Phoenix tribe was already the strongest on the continent and thus it hardly had any
scope for improvement.
But thanks to the skill of Invincible Nirvana, it provided the Phoenix tribe with more space to improve
their blood power.
Any creature of the Phoenix tribe could obtain the Chaotic Vermilion Bird's blood power if they could
cultivate to the ninth level of the Invincible Nirvana.
But this was no longer possible. Creatures of the Phoenix tribe had been able to thus cultivate only in
ancient times. No living creature had since done this for several eras.
The most powerful part of the Invincible Nirvana was the ability of easy recovery.
The first level of the Invincible Nirvana allowed a warrior to be reborn once, when confronted with a life-
and-death situation. The second level allowed him to be reborn twice. In this manner, the ninth level of
Nirvana enabled him to be reborn nine times. If one surpassed the ninth level, there was no power that
could kill him.
"Dragon Intent Grass, at which level is Steve at currently?" Ricky asked.
"As per my observation, I think he is at the fourth level," the Dragon Intent Grass said. "He is one of
Phoenix tribe's top talents."
"Fourth level? That means he still has three chances to recover and reach his peak state," Ricky said
thoughtfully.
"It will be difficult for you to win this battle. You have the skills of Resurrection and Travel-Back-
Through-Time, but using them means risking your life. Given your current strength, you really can't use
these two skills frequently," the Dragon Intent Grass warned him.
Ricky pondered it over before he came to a decision. "If that's the case, then let's not give him the
chance to break out the skill of Invincible Nirvana. I'm going to use all of my strength!"
In the next moment, the Time Seal floated out of Ricky's head and under its power, he burst out his skill
of Travel-Back-Through-Time, almost instantly recovering to his peak state.
Steve became greedier as he felt the power of Ricky's skill.
"It's a reckless waste for Paul's heritage to fall into your hands!" Steve said coldly.
"What?
Paul!" the Shura Casket said, shocked at Steve's words.
It knew Paul, because Paul's era had been even more ancient than that of Eli.
"This guy is Paul's successor!" the Shura Casket exclaimed in shock once again.
Ricky intervened, getting antsy amidst the chaos. "If you want it, just use your real strength!" Ricky said
to Steve, needling him.
"As you wish. Phoenix transformation!"
Saying thus, Steve turned into his beast form.
It was for the first time that Ricky laid eyes on the top creature in the continent—the Great Phoenix!
Its huge body blotted out the void, his innate domineering power seemingly swallowing the sunlight.
It had five crowns on its head that it carried rather arrogantly, amidst its plumage of colorful feathers.
A pair of golden wings glittered and bloomed, a pleasant ringing echoing around them.
Its claws were like that of a dragon.
"The Great Phoenix, like the Great Dragon, is born with the real power of heaven and earth!" Ricky
exclaimed, but sighed soon after, "I have to use it as a stepping stone."
As the killing intent in his eyes gathered and intensified, his Ultimate Golden Body turned golden
purple, causing the eternal power within to emerge. The Fifth Level of Ultimate Golden Body grew
rapidly as the eternal power poured onto it.
An ear-splitting roar could be heard. With that, Ricky's Ultimate Golden instantly grew to the sixth level.
"Your Ultimate Golden Body has reached the sixth level! I didn't know this is your trump card until this
moment," the Dragon Intent Grass said, stupefied.
"Dragon Intent Grass, I didn't cultivate in Paul's zone for two years for nothing. I have not only made
my Ultimate Golden Body to the sixth level, but also consolidated it," Ricky said.
He concentrated all his power on his golden body as he spoke to the Dragon Intent Grass.
Ricky gathered all his strength and was determined to win this with just one move.
Steve's skill of Invincible Nirvana brought him a lot of pressure. His strength was not a lot greater than
Steve's. The battle could prove unfavorable for him if it continued. At this point, the Invincible Nirvana
was indeed stronger than his skills of Resurrection and Travel-Back-Through-Time.
He had no choice but to kill him with one blow.
Under the Ultimate Golden Body, the power of the seven mutants merged before Ricky's chest,
combined with the eternal power, and evolved into a beam of light.
"Fatal attack! The eternal light!"
Ricky shouted murderously and pushed the beam of thick light out towards the Great Phoenix. His
huge Ultimate Golden Body merged into the golden purple light like a tornado.
This was Ricky's fatal attack.
Steve felt the threat of death as he watched Ricky's move. Even though he was in beast form and was
the Great Phoenix right now, the eternal light meant destruction to him.
He was, however, still confident. He was at the fourth level of Invincible Nirvana and his strength was at
its peak.
"Go to hell, Ricky!"
With a thunderous roar, Steve flapped his wings, and four shadows of the Great Phoenix shot out of his
body, forming four flames that merged with his strength and turned into four lines.
The power of these four lines integrated with the body of the Great Phoenix and together, they collided
with Ricky's eternal light.
In the next moment, violent air waves and an explosive power engulfed the space of the Shura Casket.
If it weren't for the hard surface of the Shura Casket, this space would have already collapsed.
Two giant shadows grappled with each other within the violent air waves: Steve's body in the beast
form and Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body.
No one could tell how long this lasted.
The two fighters were, yet again, exhausted.
'It's the right time, ' Ricky thought to himself as two giant shadows appeared beside his golden body.
These were shadows of two giant trees.
They were the Void Tree and the grand humanoid tree on Ricky's body.
The Void Tree could absorb the infinite power of the heavenly law. For a long time, the stored power of
the heavenly law had been enough to enable Ricky to burst out his most powerful strike once.
The grand humanoid tree could promote Ricky, like the middle realm of the Transforming Omnipotent
Skill, which he also simultaneously activated.
This was Ricky's strongest power at the moment.
"How is that possible?" Steve exclaimed, shocked at Ricky's outburst.
The fear in his heart grew because his last trump card was to burn his blood essence.
But he now felt that even if he were to burn all his blood essence, it would be impossible for him to
resist Ricky, especially when Ricky was this strong.
Ricky had far exceeded his limits with the help of the two big trees.
The information Steve had received had not told him that Ricky had these two trees.
If he wanted to break out the power of the Invincible Nirvana, he must do it before he died. But if Ricky
were to use this move, he would die for sure.
"I didn't expect you to use the power of these two trees so late in the battle," the Dragon Intent Grass
sighed.
"In the world of martial arts, we must have multiple trump cards. One won't do," Ricky said.
"This means you have other trump cards!" the Dragon Intent Grass said.
Ricky wouldn't give Steve any chance once he had unleashed the two trees. He poured all his strength
into the eternal light, wanting to end the battle in a strong explosion.
"I admit defeat. I admit defeat in this competition!" Steven said to the Shura
Casket.
