"That's the Regenerating Pill!" the warriors from the Jiang Clan exclaimed when they saw Ricky swallow a pill that looked like the Regenerating Pill. They were the first to recognize the pill, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
"How can it be possible? That is an exceptional pill! It's exceptionally ancient and its formula is believed to have already been lost in time!" Some of the warriors rubbed their eyes, again and again, trying to see the pill more clearly as if it would help them believe what had just happened right in front of their eyes.
Once the initial commotion wore thin, greed was written all over their faces. This was a golden opportunity. If they could just snatch even one of those pills from Ricky, they might be able to figure out its formula and produce as many as they wanted. They thought that it would definitely bring enormous profits to the Jiang Clan.
But the warriors from the Jiang Clan were not the only ones who coveted the pill; those disciples who thought highly of Ricky had also begun to hatch their own plans of acquiring the pill from him. They just couldn't resist the temptation after they saw the legendary pill.
"Anyone who would take a Regenerating Pill would have the ability for instant recovery. How could this young man be in possession of such kind of a magic pill? It seems like he might have been lucky enough to have access to some secret place," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said with astonishment.
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Ricky returned to his peak form. With the help of the Regenerating Pill, Ricky could perform his best for at least the next two days. Given that situation, it looked like defeating those lightning warriors would be a piece of cake for him.
After taking the pill, Ricky immediately felt refreshed, like his batteries had just been recharged and he now had boundless power. With so much astonishment, he examined his body and found out that his first level of Ultimate Golden Body was giving off a green glow, a sign of bursting vitality. Without a doubt, the Regenerating Pill's healing ability was out of this world.
"What powerful energy it has!" Ricky couldn't help but murmur to himself. 'Now, I shall take this advantage and bring those lightning warriors down as quickly as possible. After I accomplish that, I will undoubtedly become an innate spirit. Come with your most powerful Thunderstroke Doom. Even with that, you wouldn't be able to stop me now!' Ricky thought with excitement, the desire to win running vigorously through his veins.
Now that it seemed like becoming an innate spirit was within his reach, he couldn't wait to win this fight and make the breakthrough.
"Power of Four Runes—Heaven Illuminating Fire!" After taking a deep breath, Ricky exclaimed from the depths of his heart. Then, his most powerful and sweeping attack thus far was launched.
An endless storm was created from within Ricky. Simultaneously, the power of his four kinds of runes erupted, threatening to cover the whole sky. Then, a surge of black flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than the Heaven Illuminating Fire.
"Your Thunderstroke Doom is meant to destroy me, huh? In that case, try my Heaven Illuminating Fire—the eternal flame that is born to burn everything in this world to ashes, including you!"
As soon as Ricky had done speaking, a furious roar resounded throughout the area.
In a heartbeat, all the remaining lightning warriors launched their thunder attacks. The thunderbolts that they released fused with each other to form a huge wall that blocked out the sun. It came rushing towards Ricky with one goal in mind—to devour him and the storm of flame he produced.
Then, another loud thud reverberated across the land, assaulting anyone's ears who was within miles of it.
The next instant, two tides of strikes met violently and created an earthquake. When the walls of flame and thunderbolts touched, they crashed against one another and turned into endless powerful ripples that lashed out against everything around it. Soon enough, anything within its proximity was drowned out by the impact, the sounds, and the light as well. There was no doubt that it was like the end of the world.
Boom! Boom! Boom! For quite a long time, only the endless sound of thunder could be heard from the sky. The already countless thunders continued to increase as they blazed their colorful light into the earth. It looked like there were broken pieces of Ricky's flame falling amidst the demented dropping of thunderbolts.
At that moment, all the warriors from the Bu Clan, Bing Clan, and the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce all chuckled to themselves. They exclaimed, "Let the thunder and lightning be the last thing you see before you die, you vicious thing!" They truly believed that Ricky had already met his doom.
'This is the last round of the Thunderstroke Doom that you will have to take, Ricky. You mustn't die! If you survive it, the road to the world of the martial arts will be shown to you. Hold on. You just recently proved yourself to be an ace genius that this world could only see in a million generations. Don't give up, ' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor prayed quietly in his mind.
As a matter of fact, the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor and all the warriors were watching the fight with a heavy heart. They were all worried about Ricky. It was not until the whole sky was covered by thunderstroke that they realized that the Regenerating Pill might be of little help in this kind of situation.
At this point, the lasting roar of the thunders seemed to be the only sound in this world. Everyone felt like they had died and been already buried to the ground. No one dared to make a sound as they held their breaths and waited to see how things were going to unfold.
Such a silence seemed to last for eternity.
Finally, when the thunderbolts from the sky started to abate and the Thunderstroke Doom was slowly fading away, no one could feel a bit of energy that would have come from Ricky. In fact, his energy seemed to have been drowned from the very beginning.
