The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1414

The tense silence on the battlefield went on for a long time. All of a sudden, a confident voice broke through their reverie.

"Extreme chaotic fire!"

It seemed to come from the rift in the sky.

The next instant, the fissure slowly swelled up as if it would explode.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Hairline cracks started appearing, as grey-white flames seemed to burn from within.

This was the power of the Fire Dragon Extremity combined with the power of Ricky's sacred fire and peculiar fire. Each cloud of chaotic fire that the Fire Dragon Extremity created acted like a sharp blade that cut the rift like it was a thin piece of paper.

Before long, the cracks had multiplied thousands of times, and Fernando's rift began to leak too much power. And at this point, he couldn't gather more, as Ricky's Chaotic Fire Lotus was looming too near.

The flaming lotus, which was bolstered by the protective covering of the chaotic power, instantly expanded, causing the fissure to widen until it finally broke apart.

It gradually dissipated into thin air, as the flaming lotus burned all of it unto the very last trace of its power.

Suddenly, blood spurted out from somewhere in the sky. It looked like crimson rain for a second. A figure showed up on the platform, shuffled away, and backed down. He didn't stop until he was about a thousand meters from where he had been standing.

It was none other than Fernando, who had clearly lost.

Ricky could have easily killed him with the lotus if this were a life and death battle.

But, fortunately, it wasn't. The flames soon died down, and Ricky alighted on the platform as well.

It was only at this moment that the disciples came back to their senses. They couldn't help but gasp in shock. "No way!" they exclaimed with their mouths agape in disbelief.

They were stupefied that Ricky didn't even need the power of his second mutant to take down Fernando, a genius who was a middle spiritual emperor at peak state.

"No middle spiritual emperor can challenge him now. I'm afraid he can even go toe to toe against a three-star upper spiritual emperor. At the very least, he could probably hold his own against a three-star upper spiritual emperor even if he couldn't outright take him down," a disciple who was an upper spiritual emperor remarked thoughtfully as he gazed at Ricky in awe.

"You're right. He might find it more challenging to defeat those who have a higher cultivation level than him, but no one in his level could give him a hard time."

"It's almost a done deal then. He will certainly get that vacant position."

Differing opinions could be heard as the surrounding disciples heatedly discussed about Ricky.

Meanwhile, Fernando turned to Ricky with a bitter smile.

He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and remarked, "I don't think anyone at your level can fight you, so you'll probably find those with higher levels as more imposing opponents. However, you'll find that not even the three-star upper spiritual emperors are a challenge to you, thanks to the seven mutants and chaotic power that you possess."

"Thank you for letting me win, Fernando," Ricky humbly remarked as he cupped his hands with respect.

"Stop being so modest. You beat me fair and square," answered Fernando. He tried to smile, but his defeat still stung a little, so it came off like a grimace.

Although they were both middle spiritual emperors at peak state, their strength had an enormous gap, which was decided by their limits and potentials.

After that, Ricky went on to challenge other disciples who were middle spiritual emperors at peak state, and he easily defeated them all. Not even one of his opponents could push him to use two mutants.

And before long, Ricky became the strongest among those who hadn't become upper spiritual emperors yet in the Misty South Palace.

Most disciples who had seen him fight believed that Ricky would soon surpass his current level and challenge upper spiritual emperors.

After all the battles were finished, Ricky left the platform.

He went back to the palace in a jovial mood. "That was a marvelous experience! I had fun fighting those at my level. But I probably can't do this if my opponents are stronger than three-star upper spiritual emperors. I won't get the upper hand even if I burst out my seven mutants, chaotic power, and bright ancestral spirit at the same time, and the best outcome I can expect will be a draw.

That's why I can't challenge those with higher levels now."
