At this moment, both Jaden's and Jaxon's mouth were agape as they were struck with awe.
They might have underestimated Ricky's capability this time. All along, they felt that they had an edge over Ricky's power. But luck was not on their side that day, for in a blink of an eye, all of their hopes of defeating Ricky were turned into rubbish as his casting realm flooded them like huge waves, overpowering them.
And this realm was different from theirs—sadness engulfed every fiber of their being. Sadness triumphed over any other emotion that they could feel as it expelled away their rationality. They felt helpless as they could not find a way on how to break out of the awful feeling.
"What happened? I thought that he had already refined the Heavenly Aroma Pill. But how could he attain such an intense casting realm? Plus, this realm contains such a great power of sadness," Jaxon said to Jaden in disbelief.
"The poison in the Heavenly Aroma Pill was intended to destroy his spiritual meridian gradually. On top of the long-term effect, it can destroy his casting realm in a short period of time as well," explained Jaden.
"Then how do you explain this? Why is the power in his realm still that great?"
"How should I know? I didn't prepare that pill! As far as I know, it was from your clan!" Jaden said coldly and accusingly using internal power. "We trusted Jiang Clan's pill refining skills.
If anything goes wrong, your clan has to bear full responsibility!"
The sudden overturn of the power was clearly felt by the other disciples and creatures.
Even though Ricky's attack wasn't aimed at them, they could still sense that the power of Ricky's realm had such a definite increase. To top that off, the sense of sadness was very prevalent around the area as they felt like the feeling was scattered all over the place.
And just like that, all of a sudden, Jaden's and Jaxon's realms were demolished.
But this was all due to the fact that both of them were equally affected by Ricky's power of sadness. Only those who were deemed to be more powerful than Ricky could easily shake the foreign element off their system. But in this case, they were both not comparable to Ricky's strength. This meant that they would more or less get indulged in their past miseries and traumas even before they could recover.
"How is that possible? Could it be that the Heavenly Aroma Pill that Jaxon gave Ricky was the real one without any poison? That could only be the reasonable explanation for all of this. But that would be so unbelievable!" The disciples started to exchange gossips as they assessed the situation.
"I guess you're right. Ricky doesn't seem to be poisoned at all! But how could Jaxon help Ricky? They were just attacking him and obviously, they wouldn't help him!"
"Can you feel the power of sadness in the realm? It's so tricky! It would probably kill you before you even notice it!"
The disciples had an exchange of words as they were all filled with disbelief.
"Perhaps, Ricky had his own secret of doing it. The only problem is that no one knows what it is," one of the disciples commented.
Meanwhile, the completed spiritual kings of the Bu Clan all turned skeptical as they hovered up in the sky. They eyed the spiritual kings of the Jiang Clan, as if asking, "What is going on? Why didn't the Heavenly Aroma Pill exert any effect on the lad? Why does it seem that Ricky's power is strengthened even more? Shouldn't it be the opposite?"
But to Bu Clan's doubts, the members of the Jiang Clan had no answer. They only gave an exchange of confused glances with each other, but no one could give any plausible answer.
"Dude, it seems that Ricky can handle it all by himself. We don't have to worry about him." Cameron sent a message to the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor through his internal power. He then had a sigh of relief after saying his piece to the emperor because it wasn't until this moment that he was able to relax and shake it off.
"That's right. Jiang Clan is going to suffer from their own 'smartness.' Can you believe that the poisonous pill turned into a true Heavenly Aroma Pill in his hands? With this pill, I'm sure that it's only a matter of time before he becomes a casting master of Spiritual Level," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor exclaimed in excitement.
"Now the Jiang Clan and the Bu Clan must feel so regretful of their actions!" Cameron said gleefully.
"Now, I'm just curious about how he solved the problem with the pill," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor replied.
