"I thought the members of the Phoenix tribe had incredibly strong physical bodies, but I guess I was wrong. Arrogant as you might be, you still can't hold a handle against my strong body. I'll crush you under my pinky," Ricky warned menacingly as he watched Steve, who was slowly backing away.
"Oh? Do you think you can do that?" Steve scoffed, staring back at Ricky with a defiant glare.
Ricky was starting to piss him off. However, he knew that his anger should not get the best of him. The best thing he could do right now was to focus his anger on the fight and use it to his advantage. He couldn't let Ricky get away with his words, but he should not let his anger rule his head either.
In the next moment, flames surged around Steve like an orange-red curtain, and a phoenix's shadow emerged from behind him once again. The shrieking sound of a phoenix echoed, as the scarlet flames writhed and climbed higher around him. The next moment, the fire power that encompassed Steve formed countless wings, flying towards Ricky in an instant.
"Omnipotent Skill—The Invincible Phoenix Wing Strike!" Steve let out a mighty roar, and his eyes were filled to the brim with killing intent.
The flaming wings gathered in the blink of an eye, forming a pair of massive wings that rushed in Ricky's direction.
These wings were ablaze with scarlet flames. It looked like Ricky would turn into ashes if he got too close.
"Humph! How can you still look down on me when you're on the losing side? Go on! Show me your sacred fire's power!" Ricky urged Steve with a disdainful look on his face when he spotted the upcoming blow.
But Ricky didn't plan on restraining his real strength. He was fighting against a member of the Phoenix tribe, so he had no qualms about crushing his opponent. And besides, he had to go all out if he wanted to defeat Steve.
In the next second, Ricky's seven mutant powers were let loose into the earth, and the runic power transformed them into burning chaotic fire.
"Furnace of Heaven and Earth, come out!" Ricky yelled out with all his might.
At the same time, he burst out the sacred fire, peculiar fire which formed the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.
"What the hell is up with this guy? He even has the sacred fire and the peculiar fire! How did he get his hands on them?" Steve cried out, jealousy burning in his eyes, as he watched Ricky unleash his flames.
He already heard from the grapevine that Ricky possessed several types of sacred fire and peculiar fire. But it was different, seeing it with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but be envious.
The Phoenix tribe could also be considered born of fire, as they had an affinity for sacred fire and peculiar fire from the time they were born.
That was why he hated Ricky so much now, seeing that he controlled fire exceedingly well. He felt like a no-name warrior like this guy shouldn't be as good as him who was born from the Phoenix tribe.
Meanwhile, the Shura Casket was impressed by Ricky's exemplary control of the sacred fire and peculiar fire.
"I can't believe this guy possesses several kinds of the sacred fire and peculiar fire. Are all geniuses of this era as powerful as him? Has his generation surpassed the talented ancient ones?" it exclaimed in surprise. The fire burned wildly inside Ricky's Furnace of Heaven and Earth, and it suppressed Steve's strike in an instant. Of course, that was to be expected.
The Furnace of Heaven and Earth was a brilliant Omnipotent Skill that Ricky had mastered based on the Chaotic Fire Zone. It was more powerful than any Omnipotent Skills related to fire. At Steve's current level, there was no way that he could defeat Ricky with any of his flame-related Omnipotent Skills.
On top of that, the fire that Steve had unleashed was far weaker than Ricky's sacred fire and the peculiar fire.
A dark shadow fell over Steve's face.
It seemed that Ricky was leaving him no choice. He had to show his real power. In the next moment, the scarlet fire on Steve's body grew brighter and deeper, and its power spread all over the air. Moreover, the ultimate massacring power emerged from the fire.
'So Steve's accompanying fire is the Scarlet Massacring Fire. No wonder it took him less time than me to comprehend the shura power, even though I have the Devouring Mutant, ' Ricky thought to himself, as he identified the Scarlet Massacring Fire at first glance, with the help of his Chaotic Fire Zone.
That kind of fire possessed the ultimate massacring property.
Since they were born of the scarlet fire in the chaos, creatures with killing-related mutants were always keen on taking people's lives.
And because the Scarlet Massacring Fire contained the ultimate massacring power, that meant it was closely related to the shura power.
'If I absorb his Scarlet Massacring Fire, my massacring power will become closer to the shura power, and I will be able to cultivate the real shura power in a few months...' Ricky projected in his mind.
"Before you can do all that, you have to beat him first. But be careful! This guy seems to be a powerful opponent," the Dragon Intent Grass reminded him seriously.
"Don't worry! I won't hold back. He is from the Phoenix tribe after all," he answered reassuringly.
