It could be said that the Holy King was defeated because of his death power.
If Ricky didn't have the Life and Death Zone and the life and death rune, he would have been hard-pressed to win, especially because he didn't want to reveal his blood power and chromatic energy.
Thankfully, he had the life and death rune, which rendered the Holy King's extreme nether death power useless.
As powerful as the Holy King was, of course, he knew why he was defeated.
Knowing, however, was very different from accepting, and he was very much unwilling to accept defeat.
"The Holy King's depression from defeat is indeed reasonable," the warriors murmured to each other.
"Maybe he is taking it hard that someone was able to defeat him, but I have to say that Kenney is indeed stronger than him. Otherwise, Kenney would not have defeated him only with the life and death runes. If that were the case, no trick could have helped him change the battle's outcome," claimed the other warriors.
"As they say, all is fair in love and war. The life and death rune is also Kenney's power."
They were discussing the battle with great enthusiasm as if they themselves had fought in it. They all watched Ricky like a hawk, wondering if he was going to kill the Holy King.
Truthfully, they wanted Ricky to kill the Holy King because small forces like theirs did not have many chances to develop due to the influence of the bigger forces. They could only get their opportunity if the bigger forces clashed against each other and defeated each other.
Unfortunately, this time, they would surely be disappointed because Ricky had already restrained his power. Obviously, he was not going to attack the Holy King anymore.
"You have defeated the Holy King! Judging by his domineering character, he is destined to become your enemy, so you should take this opportunity to kill him," the Dragon Intent Grass said to him telepathically.
"I know that. If I didn't have any enmity with the Sky-breaking Dome, I would kill him right now," Ricky answered. "But I really don't want to make more enemies of other big forces when I still have the Sky-breaking Dome to worry about.
I'm afraid that I am not yet that strong.
Now that the Holy King has been defeated, he is no longer my opponent. We don't need to worry about him anymore, for he is no threat to me.
Besides, I would have to reveal my chromatic energy if I wanted to kill him now, which I don't want to do at the moment. I will only reveal my chromatic energy when fighting for the Emperor Light. If I used the chromatic energy here, I would have to kill everyone here to make sure I don't have any witness."
"You're right!" The Dragon Intent Grass nodded in agreement, as it thought about what Rocky had said.
On the
th.
He didn't need to know whether she was hiding any information about her Sky-devouring Strikes. Since he had the five zones, he only needed to learn about it in general, and he could deduce the details if he followed the method recorded in the Chaos Manual.
As for his Evil Devouring Mouth, a Sky-devouring Sacred Python might be able to cultivate it to a deep degree, but she could never cultivate it to a level stronger than he did. That was because the Evil Devouring Mouth was evolved from his Devouring Mutant in the first place. And since that was the case, nobody could use it against him and defeat him with it.
'I finally got both the blood essence pill and the Sky-devouring Strikes!' Ricky thought to himself. He couldn't help but feel excited at that moment.
"The remaining sixty percent portion of the spiritual pill is enough for you to make great progress. If you can comprehend the Sky-devouring Strikes during this time, together with the chromatic energy, you will be invincible in the competition for the Emperor Light," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"I wonder when the Emperor Light will appear!" Ricky asked loudly, eager for a good fight.
In fact, he was more eager for the Emperor Light than any other thing in his life at that moment. He longed to find out if the extremely powerful Emperor Light could help him become a spiritual emperor despite his lack of a Heavenly Meridian.
"Kenney, what are you going to do next?" Dale asked at this moment.
She asked this because she already wanted to be in Ricky's company.
"Once we get out of here, I need to start looking for my friends. I will pay a visit to the Spirit Sect, if everything goes smoothly. I'm afraid that people from the Sky-breaking Dome is about to take action against them," Ricky answered, his worry evident from the dark look on his face.
