Boom! Boom!
The extreme heat of the Fire Dragon Extremity, combined with Ricky's sacred fires and peculiar fires,
gave Ricky immense power. His flaming lotus' power reached its peak. The nether ice evolved from
Chandler's Nether Fire began melting and breaking inch by inch. Finally, it shattered with a sonorous
crash and the flaming lotus submerged Chandler in an instant.
"Looks like he's going to lose," the Dragon Intent Grass remarked.
"Impossible! He hasn't shown his beast form yet. Something's up," Ricky said.
Chandler, Jedidiah, and Miller were comparable in terms of strength. Ricky was certain that victory
wasn't going to be so easy.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
As soon as he finished his words, his burning flames started to freeze over. Black-yellow ice covered
the flames like a layer of wax, quickly diminishing his sacred fires and peculiar fires as well as the Fire
Dragon Extremity.
Luckily, this frozen state did not last for long.
However, it was enough to afford Chandler an opportunity, which he rapidly claimed. Within the blink of
an eye, he quickly retreated out of Ricky's attacking range, condensed the ultimate ice once more, and
launched another attack on Ricky.
The Nether Fire was still burning on the ice.
But Ricky had a feeling that the ice had changed, somehow. Chandler had unleashed the ultimate level
of the nether cold power. Otherwise, the ice would not have been able to freeze his sacred fires,
peculiar fires, and even the Fire Dragon Extremity.
Such immense power was risky. Ricky knew that if his fires were frozen once more, breaking the ice
would not be so easy.
Wasting no time, he began to take action. Ricky made a complicated gesture and the ancestral thunder
power rushed out. It merged with the chaotic power and the combination turned into streaks of Thunder
Light Blades. Hundreds of these blades slashed down ruthlessly upon his opponent.
Meanwhile, he quickly waved his hand and his ultimate flames, along with the Fire Dragon Extremity,
broke through the ice and they turned into a torrent of flame to attack Chandler.
Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a powerful collision of two immensely strong forces that were total
inverses of each other. The shockwave threw Ricky and Chandler several steps back as blood gushed
out of their mouths.
It was obvious that both parties had suffered in this round.
The silver lining was that Ricky was finally able to see the kind of ice power that Chandler had burst
out.
Besides the cold Nether Fire that was burning all over Chandler's body, a stream of yellow-colored
liquid was also flowing around him. Upon merging with the Nether Fire, this yellow stream morphed into
a ridiculously strong and dangerous chilling power—this kind of power was from the netherworld.
Ricky's Golden Spirit Eyes told him that the yellow stream consisted of netherworld water.
The Nether Fire was exceedingly cold and inside it, one could cultivate extreme icy waters.
"I must admit that Chandler is an extraordinary opponent. He has managed to cultivate the netherworld
water from the Nether Fire. It's no wonder Lanny sent him to kill me," Ricky murmured.
"A warrior who is able to cultivate the netherworld water has the potential to become a Great Phoenix.
Something extraordinary runs in his bloodline," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"You must be careful!"
"I get it." Ricky nodded.
"The netherworld water... It won't be wrong to say that Chandler is one of the most capable
subordinates Lanny has," Miller commented.
"We already know that Lanny is one of the most powerful cultivators in this area," Jedidiah said. "He is
way stronger than us."
"Yes and it's no wonder because his bloodline is stronger. The Pure Phoenix Masculine Bloodline runs
through his family. This bloodline is closest to the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, which is a chaotic
legendary beast," Miller remarked.
"But I'm curious about Ricky. If I remember correctly, then before entering the Passage World, his
meridians were destroyed. And yet, he is at the peak of his fighting prowess. What is going on?
And even though Wally from the Endless Shadow helped him heal his wounds, such rapid recovery
would have been impossible."
"Maybe Wally used great Treasures from Heaven and Earth to cure him," Jedidiah replied as he
shrugged his shoulders. "In either case, I wonder why he helped Ricky."
"I take it your meridians weren't broken that time," Chandler asked coldly as he wiped the blood that
had oozed from his mouth.
If Ricky's meridians had truly been broken, it would have been impossible for him to unleash his full
strength since it was only possible through the use of his meridians. Further, a fight like this would have
been unbearable for him.
That was why, Ricky's state made it evident that his meridians were fully intact.
"Of course! You sanctimonious guys wanted to destroy my meridians? That was nothing but wishful
thinking on your part," Ricky sneered. "Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't some of the saints who
attacked me hail from your Nether Phoenix tribe?
And a few must also have been from the Heavenly Black Winged Snake tribe!"
Ricky glanced coldly at Xavier. The latter was fighting with Mordechai.
A killing intent filled his heart in an instant.
'Did Wally really use incredible Treasures from Heaven and Earth to heal his meridians?' Chandler
thought inwardly.
He was certain that Ricky's meridians had truly been broken.
But this was not the time to enquire how they were intact now. Chandler had to focus on the fight.
From what had happened between Ricky and Grace, he knew how weak the former had been earlier.
And yet, Ricky had grown to such a powerful level in such a short while. His growth speed was even
faster than Lanny's.
Chandler had a feeling that Ricky was threatening him. Not only him, but he was also threatening the
entire Nether Phoenix tribe that backed him.
'Ricky has to be killed!' Chandler thought to himself.
"Die!"
He uttered his thoughts.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
His enormous momentum instantly covered the entire area in front of Ricky with piercing netherworld
ice. Chandler had pushed the powers of the Nether Fire and the netherworld water to their extreme.
Holding back was not an option anymore.
Behind him, the shadow of a phoenix appeared. It appeared as if it had been condensed out of the
Nether Fire. The phoenix arrived from afar and summoned the netherworld here.
Chandler's ferocity knew no bounds as his real body seemed to dissolve into the netherworld. His
mutant, which belonged to the netherworld power appeared and took form.
With a powerful and explosive momentum, the phoenix's shadow stretched out its claw.
"Netherworld Ice Claw!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Wherever the claw passed, the Nether Fire and the netherworld water would appear in huge quantities.
As the fire dissipated, nothing but the netherworld coldness was left behind. The cold power continued
to flow towards the claw as it approached Ricky.
Ricky knew he had to defend himself instantly and thus, without hesitation, he activated the Time Seal
between his eyebrows.
The chaotic power, chromatic energy, and every single ounce of power in his body gushed out. All his
fires and the Fire Dragon Extremity condensed once more and surrounded him to protect him.
"Time Seal!"
This time, the Time Seal was slightly different than before. This time, the chaotic fire power dominated
it, followed by the power of time.
Using the chaotic fire power was the most effective way of dealing with the extreme ice.
The Time Seal grew as big as the phoenix's black-yellow claw and collided with it.
Ricky and Chandler were hardly visible anymore. Their bodies had morphed into their respective
Omnipotent Skills.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Large explosions ensued and air waves swept over the area. The fierce power of
either side collided and intertwined and for a second, there was a deadly and eerie silence. The dust
would soon dissipate and the result of the battle would be visible.
