Boom!
As soon as Norris heard Ricky's words, his energy immediately turned into raging anger. In fact, there was nothing that could make him angrier than a demi-spiritual emperor eager to fight him.
Due to the fire of anger and hatred burning in his soul, he exerted a very powerful punch towards Ricky.
On the other hand, Soar and the others got worried upon seeing this. They guessed that Ricky might have burst out the power of the mysterious axe at this moment instead of his own strength.
So they were afraid that the strength Ricky used to fight would not be enough for him to withstand the attack, considering that it was not his real strength at all.
Boom!
Boom! As Norris' attack approached Ricky, three balls of bright cyan light appeared on Ricky's body, resisting the strike.
At the sight of this, Soar, Mason, and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
At that moment, everyone gasped in shock after seeing Ricky resist the attack successfully. Sure enough, they knew that it was not Ricky's own power.
Needless to say, no matter how powerful a demi-spiritual emperor was, it would still be impossible for him to have the real strength of a middle spiritual emperor.
Meanwhile, Norris' face darkened as soon as he saw that Ricky was unscathed by his move.
The truth was that this power that Ricky held belonged to the Wood Saint.
Back when they were talking, the Wood Saint had told Ricky the fact that Mason and the Evil Mandragora were no match for Norris.
Not being able to take action himself, the Wood Saint passed part of his strength to Ricky for him to fight Norris instead.
Moreover, this was his real intention of having a private talk with Ricky.
The Wood Saint was willing to help Ricky not only because the Metal Fire Saint asked him to do so, but also because he himself didn't want to see the Nether Manor control the Eastern Land.
If people from the Nether Manor were righteous, then the Wood Saint would have allowed them to control the Eastern Land despite being human devils. However, the human devils from the Nether Manor were mostly people with nothing but killing desires in their hearts.
Once the human devils got control of the Eastern Land, it would most likely become the base of the devils once they invaded.
Thus, to protect the justice in his heart, the Wood Saint decided to help Ricky.
Because Ricky noticed Norris' very fast improvement over the past years, he would most certainly not refuse the Wood Saint's help.
In fact, that was what he needed most to shut Norris down immediately.
After resisting Norris' striking palm, the three balls of cyan light that surrounded Ricky transformed into three stakes.
At that moment, only Ricky knew that these wooden stakes were the Wood Saint's weapon.
This was the genuine sacred weapon—the Holy Platane Stakes!
The Wood Saint once told him that in his early years of training, he obtained a piece of platane wood. Soon after, he looked for a Sage Level casting master to forge these three wooden stakes.
It was said that the platane tree was a legendary holy tree in the chaos, which was responsible for the creation of the Phoenix tribe's ancestor—Chaotic Vermilion Bird.
Moreover, it was said that some primitive powers swept the leaves and branches of the platane tree into the continents.
However, the probability of finding platane wood on the continents was smaller than finding a needle in a haystack. Needless to say, the Wood Saint had all the luck in the world when he obtained a piece of the platane wood.
...
Meanwhile, after exposing the three stakes, Mason immediately recognized that it was a set of sacred weapon. In addition, he immediately understood what kind of power was using now.
But this did not set things straight. In fact, they still doubted that Ricky could defeat Norris with just a sacred weapon.
After all, it was entirely impossible for a demi-spiritual emperor to control a sacred weapon by himself.
He could only control a supreme weapon that was powerful enough and belonged completely to himself.
"What? you are using a sacred weapon!
