Chapter 1382 Mysterious Power
"Mordechai, why would I want this head? Its best use is as a piss pot. But a Heavenly Black Winged Snake's head, on the other hand, is too big for that," Ricky said with a smile. Then, he released a flame of his sacred fire and burned Xavier's head.
"Now that that's settled, let's go to another space and get some rest!" he added.
They all nodded their heads. Then, Ricky and his companions headed for another yellow space to find a spot to relax and recuperate.
It took them half a day to find the perfect place. By that time, the news that Ricky had eliminated Chandler and Xavier had spread throughout the entire Emperor Intent Tomb. Almost all of the creatures that had entered the Passage World were talking about it.
And not one of the discussions wasn't heated.
"It-it can't be true. Chandler is not one of the ten top geniuses in the central region, but he is just slightly weaker than Miller and Jedidiah."
"I also don't believe it. If it weren't for the fact that Chandler wanted to join the Phoenix tribe and his bad reputation, he could have ranked third out of the top ten talented warriors in the central region."
"But that's the thing. It's all true. Ricky took out Chandler and Xavier who was ranked fifth."
"Is he really that powerful? How did he take down two geniuses by himself?"
"I don't know. I thought that Ricky's meridians were broken."
"Rumor has it that Lord Wally from the Endless Shadow healed him using valuable Treasures from Heaven and Earth."
"Really? Does that mean that Lord Wally wants Ricky to join the Endless Shadow?"
"I have more news. I just heard that a young man from one of the eight devil tribes, the Purple Wild Devil tribe, died in the Passage World too.
His father is the leader of the Purple Wild Devil tribe. Ricky must have killed him as well."
"What?! Ricky is unbelievable!"
"I heard that he used the time power to kill Chandler. Ricky must be making use of Paul's inheritance. I bet he's already comprehended a part of it."
"Why does any of this matter? He is way out of our league now. Once the selection is over, Ricky will qualify to be a part of the Misty South Palace. Then, no one will be able to mess with him anymore."
"You're right!"
After they felt good and rested, Ricky and his companions set off again, continuing to search for the Intent Spirit. At the same time, they hunted down any devils that they crossed paths with.
On the journey, they heard snippets of the rumors surrounding Ricky.
"It looks like you've really made a name for yourself after your fight with Chandler," Jedidiah told Ricky with a smile.
"Yes. Now, the disciples who want you dead in the Passage World will retreat at the sight of you. The most powerful ones will be too scared to make a move against you, because if they do, they will attract attention," Jasper added, staring at Ricky.
"This is not a good thing, actually," Ricky said with a frown. "Now they know about all of my best moves. And, because of these rumors, I've gotten the devil race's attention. Haven't you noticed the
increase in devils we've been seeing lately? It can't be coincidence."
"You have a point," Jedidiah said, smiling knowingly.
As time went by, the battles between the devils and the creatures from the continent raged on. Ricky and his companions witnessed many fights between the upper spiritual emperors and the demi-saints.
It was a good thing because that meant that the upper spiritual emperors and demi-saints were too busy to notice them. But, as a precaution, whenever they ran into powerful warriors, they would turn a different way.
"There's a chance that we will have a decisive battle with the devil race in the Emperor Intent Tomb. I've noticed that more human warriors are gathering, and so are the devils," Jedidiah said.
"Maybe!" Ricky responded.
He did smell a decisive battle too.
But not long after, another mysterious force attracted his attention.
They had been wandering in the Emperor Intent Tomb for over a month when the third force appeared.
Since the ancient times, many Emperor Intent Tombs had appeared, but there were always two kinds of forces in them. One was the Intent Apperception and the other was the ruling power at the Emperor Level.
Therefore, the arrival of the third force garnered the attention of all of the creatures that were inside the Emperor Intent Tomb straight away.
None of them knew what it was since it was completely novel.
However, Ricky already had a special feeling about it.
As he examined it, the chromatic energy in his body resonated with the mysterious power.
'What's going on?' Ricky frowned.
Concentrating harder, he confirmed that it was the mysterious power that had resonated with the chromatic energy inside of him.
Ricky absorbed the power and observed it closer. There was a stark difference in the color between it and the chromatic energy, but the two powers shared the same source.
It could be said that the mysterious power that had appeared in the Emperor Intent Tomb and the chromatic energy were the same power.
'Is there a fragment of the mysterious axe here?' Ricky wondered.
However, he immediately dismissed the possibility. If there was a fragment of the mysterious axe, the two fragments in the depths of his Soul Sea would have sensed it and alerted him.
"Dragon Intent Grass, Evil Mandragora, the new power in the Emperor Intent Tomb is the same as my chromatic energy," Ricky said. It was a strange coincidence but he saw no reason to hide it from them.
"Really?" the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora said. Their voices were coated with shock.
They had always been very curious about Ricky's chromatic energy because it looked like it was stronger than the primitive power.
They had yet to find a kind of power in the world that was stronger than the primitive power.
"Maybe you can learn more about your mysterious chromatic energy in the Emperor Intent Tomb," the Evil Mandragora suggested.
"You're right. Now that I've discovered it, I will go and figure it out," Ricky replied, nodding his head.
Like everyone else, he had always wondered what kind of power his chromatic energy was, and he had never gotten any answers. Now that he had made such a big discovery, he would not let go of the opportunity to find out more.
So, Ricky and his companions started walking in the direction of the mysterious power. The other warriors that were in the Emperor Intent Tomb also headed towards it.
It didn't matter if they were from the devil race or the continent; everyone felt the amazing waves that were radiating off of the new power.
Finally, Ricky laid his eyes on a huge, cocoon-shaped space. The mysterious power was coming from the inside of it.
The surface of the space was grey, and five colors were penetrating through the space.
They perfectly resembled the chromatic energy's colors.
As Ricky got closer, the chromatic energy in his body surged and had a stronger resonance with the space. Whatever was inside the cocoon-shaped space was calling him towards it like a siren in the sea.
'Wow! Maybe I really will solve the mystery of the chromatic energy here, ' Ricky thought excitedly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Filled with curiosity and greed, some of the creatures from the continent and the devil race dashed towards the cocoon-shaped space. But before they could set foot in it, they were sent flying backwards by the mysterious power.
