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 seen this kind of blood. It indeed evolves from ruthless supreme enlightenment," the Evil Mandragora suddenly piped in from within the Massacring Zone.
"Seeing this, I think Gerald did not get the inheritance of the Ruthless Killing Skill. He obtained the ruthless blood first somehow, and then he started cultivating the Ruthless Killing Skill," the Dragon Intent Grass surmised.
"But I wonder how this happened. There are no spiritual potentates on the continents in modern times, so no one could have brought the ruthless blood here.
Maybe the blood was left many ages ago, and Gerald accidentally found it."
"Well, Gerald is dead, so we may never know the answer to that question. I just hope that there will be no more ruthless blood lying around in this world. I hate to think of the innocent lives that had been spilled because of it," Ricky murmured bitterly.
"I hope so. Otherwise, it will be disastrous if it grows stronger secretly," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"You successfully obtained the fragment.
What will you do next?" the Evil Mandragora asked. "The Sky-breaking Dome will be waiting outside for you, and I'm sure that they will not let you go this time."
"That's for sure," Ricky said, agreeing. "This time, I'm afraid that I have to expose my identity to protect myself, even though the Spirit Sect will do its best to help me."
"You knew that you would have to do this before you took the fragment, didn't you?" the Dragon Intent Grass asked.
"That's right. I don't need to think too much when I go out there. I will just fight with everything I have!" Ricky declared determinedly.
"But I can't go out yet.
I still need to stay here for a while to strengthen my blood power."
At the same time, a massacre was going on in the Sky-breaking Palace.
