Water and fire were opposite elements, and thus, natural enemies. That meant a collision between
these two opposing elements would always be intense and devastating. Now, as the flaming seal
clashed against the water orb, the battlefield turned into a hellish landscape.
The two potent attacks fought against each other, producing incredibly fatal water and fire ripples that
blasted all over the place.
These ripples left wreckage every which way they went, which showed how mighty Ricky's and
Fernando's moves were.
The detritus in the air caused by the impact soon settled down, and two figures could finally be spotted
through the poor visibility of the airwaves. They were none other than Ricky and Fernando.
It looked like they didn't even pause. They continued using their Omnipotent Skills and relentlessly
faced off with each other.
After dozens of rounds of confrontation, they finally jumped away from each other, stopping when they
were a safe distance away. Blood dripped from the corner of their lips, and their chests heaved with the
effort.
"That was a brilliant tactic! He used the power of sacred fire to restrain my attack containing the water
power..." Fernando reflected on their fight, and his eyes narrowed in a somber expression.
Ricky was indeed a formidable opponent now that his cultivation level had increased.
His seven mutant powers and chaotic power had not even entered the scene yet. This was only the tip
of the iceberg.
'I guess I will be Ricky's stepping stone. But even though I have no hopes of winning, I will still give this
my all. This is an excellent opportunity for me to become an upper spiritual emperor, ' Fernando
decided.
The next second, he yelled out, "Orb Water Mutant!"
From between his eyebrows emerged a glowing mark, a sign that he had activated his mutant power.
The moment he released all his water power, the water power surged around him and formed dozens
of tiny orbs. At this point, it seemed like he had created countless water orbs.
Although those water orbs were too small to be seen by naked eyes, Ricky felt that each of them
contained an enormous amount of mysterious energy.
His face took on a serious expression.
'Since he has the Orb Water Mutant, each tiny orb supposedly contains water power equal to the
amount of water in an ocean. At least, that's what I heard. Maybe that is exaggerated, though. I think
it's more possible that the amount of water power in each orb is equivalent to the water in a lake.
The water power is even stronger because it contains the power of the Supreme Ultimate!' thought
Ricky as he scrutinized the tiny water orbs.
Seeing how powerful Fernando's mutant was, Ricky had to get serious. The mark of chaotic fire
emerged from between his eyebrows, glowing with a vibrant shine. He also unleashed the Chaotic Fire
Mutant, and its power poured out from his body.
"Finally! Did he just activate one of his mutants?" Fernando murmured to himself.
"I already told you earlier, Fernando. My level is no longer inferior to yours." Ricky started talking in a
low voice.
An oppressive atmosphere engulfed the platform as he spoke, like a heavy blanket settling over them.
At the same time, the surrounding disciples watching them erupted in a heated discussion over what
was happening. "Do you think Ricky could suppress Fernando if he burst out his seven mutants at the
same time? I wonder up to what extent he can do that..."
"If it were us fighting, his seven mutants will definitely be a death sentence. But we never know with
these top talents. They never seem to lose."
"But since Ricky has seven mutants, he must spend time on all of them. No matter how talented he is,
he will lose to those top geniuses who only focus on cultivating one mutant. As they say, a jack of all
trades is master of none."
"Perhaps, that's Ricky's only weakness."
"I guess you are right. However, once he cultivates all his mutants to their extreme, no one can defeat
him."
"Indeed, we can't rule out that possibility. We should warn our senior leaders about Ricky, so they
wouldn't go after him."
"The odds of successfully robbing him are abysmal, so you are probably right. Once he reaches his
maximum potential, even those top forces who messed with him might not be able to bear his anger
and vengeance."
However, they stopped discussing shortly, as the situation on the platform heated up again.
When Fernando heard Ricky's words, he didn't bother to answer with his mouth and instead responded
with his attacks.
'Anyway, it's too early for this battle to be over. Even if I lose in the end, it's worth it if I can get him to
activate his second mutant, ' Fernando contemplated.
As he stepped forward, nearly a hundred water orbs shot out from his body like tiny, watery bullets.
These water orbs instantly expanded as they made contact with air, and they became as big as lakes.
They sped towards Ricky in the blink of an eye.
As for Ricky, the invisible water power made him feel like he was drowning.
The invisible power of Supreme Ultimate confused him, and for a second, he didn't know what he was
doing and what he was supposed to do.
Thankfully, he returned to his senses quickly and shouted, "Chaotic fire, come out!"
In the blink of an eye, the chaotic fire emerged and formed a world in front of Ricky, keeping him safe
from the invisible water power.
The chaotic fire flowed from within Ricky's chest onto his arms, similar to the blood that gushed from
his heart to the veins of his limbs.
Ricky stretched his hands outwards, summoning almost one hundred arrows made of chaotic fire in
front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The powerful arrows pierced the water orbs and spilled the water from each orb,
which seemed to submerge the entire sky in the water. For a moment, it was raining cats and dogs.
This kept their audience on their toes, for the surrounding disciples had to defend themselves or get hit
by the incoming deluge.
Then the water also swallowed Ricky's arrows, stopping them in mid-air.
Fernando stepped into the water current, smirked, and advised Ricky, "Don't you think it's time to
unleash your other mutants? I reached this level far ahead of you did, so you have to do something or
you won't be able to defeat me."
"But how am I supposed to know I can do it if I don't try?" responded Ricky lightly.
Hearing that, Fernando said nothing more. He made mysterious gestures with his hands, and then his
body suddenly exploded. In an instant, the empty space between them that had been submerged in
water abruptly filled up with water orbs.
"The Mouth of Supreme Ultimate!" Fernando's voice rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
These floating water orbs expanded once again, but this time, they formed a pattern. They appeared
like stars in a bright, starlit night, as they released the power of Supreme Ultimate. At this moment, the
water current hovering midair began to rotate.
The next instant, a fierce gale assaulted the platform, and a massive rift appeared in the middle.
From afar, it appeared as if the sky had grown a mouth, with which it wanted to devour everything in
the world.
The powers of water filled the rift. Seeing that, Ricky realized it was strong enough to contain anything.
Water gushed out of the enormous rift as it moved, speeding towards Ricky in an instant.
Ricky's eyebrows furrowed. Without hesitation, he activated his Chaotic Fire Mutant to its extreme, and
the chaotic fire on his body began burning wildly. It exploded in the next second and split apart into
eleven clouds of flame. These clouds morphed into dragons flying in mid-air.
The eleven dragons made from the chaotic fire changed colors as they merged with the sacred fire and
the peculiar fire.
Boom! Boom!
These fire dragons burned everything in their path. And in the next second, they formed a flaming lotus
with eleven petals.
This lotus tangled up with the chaotic power.
"Eleven-petaled Chaotic Fire Lotus!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, Fernando's rift devoured the flaming lotus.
Dead silence filled the entire space the moment the lotus disappeared. Time seemed to stop.
Everyone's gaze stayed rooted on to the enormous rift.
Obviously, they were waiting to see who had won the confrontation.
They all saw the rift devour the flaming lotus, but that didn't mean Fernando had won. No one could be
sure that the lotus was destroyed.
'Will Ricky activate his other mutants?' the curious disciples wondered.
