Chapter 161 Innate Spiritual Energy


    The fire that surrounded Andrew right now was no longer the Lava Fire. Despite having the same color,


    it looked distinctively different from Andrew''s previous one. It was apparent that Andrew must had


    cultivated the Beast fire that he had just obtained from thest trial, and now he was able to put it into


    y in a very clever way.


    "Little bastard, this is called the Heaven Burning Fire. You should feel lucky and grateful to be killed by


    such an honorable Beast Fire!" Andrew sneered. As he channeled more power into the Beast fire, it


    promptly spread to cover all of his body and made him look like a fierce, predatory fiery bear. Then he


    shouted and charged at Ricky without a sign of hesitation. Meanwhile, the predator opened his bloody


    mouth like a sacrificial bowl, as if one bite would be enough to take Ricky''s life!


    "I have already told you. You will never beat me, no matter how hard you try. Remember that you will


    always be nothing but a loser in my eyes!" Ricky replied indifferenly, calmly facing Andrew''s fury. Then


    he threw a quick punch towards Andrew, fully confident that he would defeat Andrew again.


    Ricky didn''t think that the pagoda was able to restrain his power, because his regained spiritual


    meridian was so strong that it would have the capacity to resist the pagoda''s boundaries.


    Without wasting too much effort, Ricky released the Devouring Fire tobat Andrew''s Beast Fire.


    The Devouring Fire could not only protect Ricky from being hurt by Andrew''s Beast Fire, but also easily


    swallow Andrew''s Beast Fire with its strong devouring ability. So when Andrew charged at him with his


    Beast Fire in y, Ricky couldn''t be happier.


    In a sh, the Devouring Fire morphed into a big mouth, even bigger than that of Andrew''s Beast Fire,


    and began to consume the power of Andrew''s Beast Fire.


    "What the hell is happening? What the fuck are you doing!? What kind of Beast Fire are you


    manipting?" Andrew stammered in a trembling voice, rmed at the sudden loss of the power of his


    Heaven Burning Fire.


    "You don''t deserve to know!" Ricky replied coldly. Withholding no mercy, he decided to use Chaotic Fire


    Skill and strengthen the power of the Devouring Fire.


    Andrew could hear his impending demise in Ricky''s tone. He struggled to get rid of Ricky''s Devouring


    Fire and then seized a chance to fight back. However, Andrew soon realized that this Ragged Iron


    Pagoda he was in right now had taken away all his spiritual energy as soon as this trial began. So there


    was no other way to fight against Ricky if he lost his Beast Fire.


    "Very well! Since you''re now forcing me to kill you, how could I refuse your request?" Andrew shouted


    with gritted teeth. Knowing he couldn''t stop Ricky from devouring his Heaven Burning Fire, Andrew


    decided to use his secret weapon!


    He suddenly released the Lava Fire again with full power. Once releasedpletely from his body, it


    seemed even more powerful than the Heaven Burning Fire. Immediately, the Lava Fire transformed


    itself into a fiery dragon, diving and roaring at Ricky like a rapacious predator.


    "Did you have enough of devouring my Beast Fire? Now let me give you my Beast Fire as much as you


    want. I will satisfy you to death!" Andrew shouted loudly, with a rather hideous look on his already


    unsightly face.


    "Hahaha, what did you say? You''ll satisfy me to death with your Beast Fire? I beg to disagree! You are


    just going to make meugh to death!" Ricky couldn''t help but roar withughter. Even as he was still


    chuckling, he quickly maximized the Devouring Skill by deploying more power from the Devourer Zone.


    In fact, Ricky was fully aware that his body wouldn''t be strong enough to contain Andrew''s two different


    kinds of Beast Fire, if he only had an ordinary Beast Fire. Because his spiritual energy hadn''t been


    suppressed by the Ragged Iron Pagoda, it would be highly possible that the powers from these two


    kinds of Beast Fire were too much to control. His body would explode if it were pushed too far or too

    long.


    However, Andrew would never know the fact that it wasn''t the Beast Fire, but the Chaotic Fire Zone


    that helped Ricky devour all of the other Beast Fires. The Chaotic Fire Zone could absorb thousands of


    kinds of Beast Fire with only the slightest effort-- not to mention just two kinds of Beast Fire, which were


    just a piece of cake!


    What Andrew was trying to do right now was exactly what Ricky had wanted all along.


    Both of them got excited, each confident that he wouldpletely obliterate his opponent as he had


    been nning all along. They let out a loud roar as they continued to fight each other with their magic


    fire. Sinister smiles crossed their faces, as a promising hint that this battle would soone to an end


    once either of them buckled under the pressure.


    But that one to fall first would be Ricky!


    However, Ricky suddenly detected something fishy as he kept absorbing Andrew''s Lava Fire. There


    was another sort of power inside the Lava Fire which really took him by surprise. Even though he had


    the Chaotic Fire Zone to protect himself, he couldn''t help but feel rather frightened when detecting that


    mysterious power.


    Besides, what surprised him even more was that he found out it was not totally unfamiliar to him. He


    had once seen that power exerted by both Zenith and Elder Alexander. Undoubtedly, that power only


    belonged to the innate spiritual energy, the supreme power owned only by those innate spirits!


    Ricky felt too shocked to believe what he himself had realized. He questioned, "What is that? Inside


    your Lava Fire, is that the innate spiritual energy? Why do you have that sort of power?"


    Meanwhile, Ricky quickly tried his best to withdraw his Devouring Fire, only to find it was toote!


    Attached to the Devouring Fire, the innate spiritual energy swiftly spread its way into Ricky''s body, even


    before Ricky had a chance to activate the Fifth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form.


    "Boom!!!" After a earsplitting explosion, Ricky was covered in a cloud of dust and smoke. The chances


    of his survival were slim under such terrible conditions.


    ''Is this what the innate spiritual energy is capable of? I finally get a chance to have an insight into his


    supreme power! Even if I am at the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form, I might have


    slim chances of survival and instead vanish in a puff of smoke...''


    Only darkness met his eyes. He said faintly, with a wavering will, "I shouldn''t have been so careless.


    Am I going to die here?"


    "Ha-ha! You little bastard! You are far from being on my level! Now it''s time to send you to hell!" Andrew


    Then he heaved a deep sigh to relieve himself. The indistinct frown at the corner of his forehead which


    had carved itself there since the day he met Ricky finally disappeared without a trace. He had been


    nursing a grudge against Ricky and always had wanted to be responsible for his death. And now that


    he had aplished it, his rage and hatred began to drain away.


    Then he signed, "Such a shame! To fuse that powerful innate spiritual energy into my Lava Fire, my


    mother paid a great price. That is my most secret weapon which I was supposed to show only when I


    would be totally backed up in a corner. Instead, I wasted it on killing that pathetic little bastard."


    Gauging the pros and cons, Andrew regretted his impulsive, hot-tempered decision a little.


    "But if I didn''t rely on the power of the innate spiritual energy just now, I might have been in real danger.


    Anyway, I finally get a chance to end Ricky''s life with my own hands. As for what kind of difficulty might


    "Besides, I don''t think anyone here dare toy their fingers on me except Ricky. Otherwise, my mother


    would not let that guy get away! I believe she would pay any price to seek revenge for me!" Andrew


    smirked as he managed tofort himself and lift his own morale.


    "You are right. Your mother will avenge you one day, because you are going to die soon," Ricky''s voice


    suddenly whispered into Andrew''s ear. Ricky''sst position was still a smokey spot of chaos. But


    suddenly, a figure leaped swiftly into the air and directly charged at Andrew, who was taken by surprise.


    With no signs of wounds on his skin nor holes on his clothes, Ricky seemed to be perfectly immune to


    Andrew''s attack. He looked as energetic as what he had been before.


    In fact, it was all due to the same shield of me light above his skin, which was generated by the


    me Zone to protect Ricky. Right when the explosion happened, the me Zone sensed Ricky''s life


    was in a critical state, so it released a bright light to wrap Ricky''s whole body. The bright light spread


    across Ricky''s body so quietly and quickly that Ricky didn''t even notice it himself.


    "What, how could it be possible? Why are you still alive?" Andrew screamed in fear. Seeing Ricky


    his face. Instead, panic and desperation were pitifully obvious in his eyes.


    "It''s time for you to go to hell. Let me do you the favor!" Ricky snorted, as he charged at Andrew. He


    activated the power of the Devouring Fire again inside his body and threw a straight punch to Andrew''s


    chest. With a thud, Andrew''s heavy bodynded on the ground, and then the Devouring Fire started to


    burn all over his body. Bursts of screams could be heard and echoed sharply in the space surrounding


    them.


    Before Andrew died, the residual powers of the two kinds of Beast Fire in his body had been absorbed


    Ricky then took a long breath of relief.


    He thought to himself, ''What happened just now was insanely risky. I almost got killed! If it weren''t for


    the help of the me Zone, the ending of this fight between me and Andrew would have been


    He sighed, "If something goes wrong, I must be in danger. How could I possibly have predicted that


    Andrew''s Beast Fire would be fused with the innate spiritual energy? Still, I was being too careless. It


    must have cost a lot for his mother to go through that fusion process."


    At the thought, Ricky finally became aware of why Andrew had the nerve to take this trial! After all, a


    warrior at the first grade of Blood Purification like him was not usually equipped at all to go through


    such an event. Without that secret weapon, Andrew''s decision topete in this trial would be only


    regarded as a joke!


    "I can''t afford to be too careless again when ites to matters like this! Next time when I run into an


    odd and strange thing like this, I have to beware," Ricky admonished himself and took a long breath


    again.


    Then, he sat with his legs crossed, closed his eyes and quieted his mind as he prepared for his


    meditation. He had to take a rest after the tiring battle.
