Without the Ruthless Killing Skill, Gerald realized how painful it was to kill his dearest ones himself, and words were not enough to describe the suffering he had felt. So after a roar of grief and indignation, he activated the rest of his strength, breaking his heart and destroying his soul.
He chose to end his life after he figured out what he had done.
"He chose to commit suicide!" Ricky said with a little pity. He had decided that he would spare Gerald's life, but Gerald chose to end his life instead. Now that he was dead, the chance that he could still make up for his mistakes had died with him.
"It's just as I had expected. How can he bear the pain of knowing that he had killed all his loved ones? And this time he did not have the Ruthless Killing Skill to dull his emotions. The thought that he wants to compensate for it is a noble one, but it is impossible to achieve. The horrible things he has done will follow him around like a shadow, and he will have to live his whole life with it on his shoulders. In this case, wouldn't you say that death is a welcome relief for him?" the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"This is what he deserves for what he had done.
Just burn his body, Ricky. Maybe it's his wish because he had destroyed his loved ones' bodies. Just do this as a token of regard for him."
"You are right, of course." Ricky nodded and then burned Gerald's body with fire.
However, while he burned Gerald's body, he noticed that there was a stream of black blood that was slowly flowing out, and intense ruthless killing power was emerging from it. Even with the nine kinds of flames and the Fire Dragon Extremity, Ricky still spent a long time burning up the blood.
"Dragon Intent Grass, what is that blood? It is not the ruthless blood, right?" Ricky asked curiously.
"It is, indeed, the ruthless blood, but it is not condensed from the blood of his dearest ones. You can say that it's the original ruthless blood," the Dragon Intent Grass answered in earnest.
"What is the original ruthless blood?" Ricky and Tina asked in increasing confusion.
"The original ruthless blood evolves from the original ruthless supreme enlightenment in the chaos. A creature should first obtain this blood before it is considered qualified to cultivate the Ruthless Killing Skill," the Dragon Intent Grass explained.
"From the ruthless supreme enlightenment in the chaos?" Ricky and Tina exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, I've
so his body might be a treasure trove for them.
In that instant, all the warriors expected that there would be a real fight between the Sky-breaking Dome and the Spirit Sect.
They expected that when the two parties were both seriously injured because of the fight, these people who had stayed away from the fight would eventually get benefits.
In an impressive display of his power, Autelan killed all the disciples, except those who didn't join in the fight at the beginning.
After all, he was not a killer, but he would not hesitate to kill his enemies for it could mean the difference between life and death for him.
He knew that if he showed any sign of weakness, they would not show him mercy and kill him in more gruesome ways.
He was just beginning to wind down when Ricky came out of the Sky-breaking Hall.
As soon as Ricky walked out, everyone realized that Gerald had died, and it was Ricky that successfully obtained the mysterious object.
Arthur and the people of the Sky-breaking Dome watching outside also realized what happened.
But they could do nothing but watch in silence.
"Ricky! Did you get it?" Autelan asked.
"Yes, I did, and Gerald has been dealt with as well," Ricky replied.
"I've dealt with everything here too, but once we get out of here, there will be a fierce fight," Autelan said seriously. "The Sky-breaking Emperor is the only one who can let us out of here because only those who have the blood power of the Sky-breaking Dome can open the door."
"Don't worry. I am sure that in his haste to kill us, he will let us get out as soon as the time is up," Ricky murmured.
