Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 300 Devil Beast

Ricky almost believed it when he heard Soar mentioned something about the ancient battlefield once more. It was described to be abandoned, with traces of history etched in every inch of land it covered. Such triggered the power of Ricky's two big zones, and also, he could feel the residual flavor of the past wars which happened in the location.

"But Soar, how can the ancient battlefield suddenly appear in the Realm of Wildness? After all, it is such a desolated and small place,” Ricky asked in doubt.

"It's simple. Thousands of warriors had once fought in this large battlefield and among them were the extremely powerful ones, too. It was far too easy for them to break the edge zone of this ancient battlefield using their powers,” Soar explained.

"As for those broken edge zones of the ancient battlefield, they were most likely to flow into space and drift with its power. So if I'm not wrong, this specific area is most likely to be one of the broken parts of the ancient battlefield."

"Well, perhaps that could be true. Otherwise, how could the evil spirit possibly appear in this place?" Ricky said in a low tone. "But, how about the pure spiritual energy? The one that's surging out of the white whirlpool and the Chaotic Region. I want to know more. Could it be used just to mislead the public?”

"Sorry, man. But that's all I know about the ancient battlefields. As for the pure energy, it doesn't trigger anything from my inherited memories,” Soar said in a humble tone.

Ricky's visage then turned glum when Soar told him that he apparently had reached the end of his knowledge about the ancient battlefields. But Ricky had a gut feel that the so-called secret place for seeking innate opportunity was not that simple to understand.

"Ricky, can you feel it? I feel that some evil spirits in this zone had been constantly deteriorating our bodies since we got here," Soar suddenly asked Ricky seriously.

Soar then stretched up and fired the Heaven Melting Fire to banish the evil spirit that had been lurking inside his body.

This intrigued Ricky for he had not really seen the evil spirit that Soar had been mentioning. But as Soar executed his Heaven Melting Fire to drive out the evil spirit, Ricky also tried to observe if anything happened to his body, too. Sure enough, he also found some pesky invisible evil spirit that was in his skin, constantly gnawing his body.

Ricky also launched fire to eliminate the evil spirits that surrounded his skin.

"This is bad, Soar. But thank you so much for staying on top of your game. If it hadn't been for your warning, I bet that the evil spirit would have already devoured our bodies," Ricky said seriously. "Then that means that Tyson, Kristen and the others..."

Worry had encapsulated Ricky's mind when he thought about his other friends.

"Ricky, try to ease up a bit. As soon as they activate their spiritual energy, they are sure to detect the evil spirit. The problem is the evil spirits here are invisible. But the good thing is that they're not as aggressive as other evil spirits. They're just the common kind. It could take them up to months before they could do severe damage to warriors of Bone Reinforcement," Soar said as he tried to comfort Ricky and make him calm down.

"I just hope that they can sense the evil spirit as soon as possible,” Ricky said, still a little worried Upon hearing Soar's comforting comments, he then took out the Bronze Key that he obtained from the Chaotic Fire Zone and slid it inside one of his pockets.

Ricky thought, "If this Bronze Key has something to do with the unknown opportunity to become an innate spiritual king, there will be some reaction and resonance with this key when we find where this opportunity is. There must be some kind of connection between them."

After they exchanged their thoughts, Ricky and Soar continued on their journey.

As soon as they went back to the road, they realized that the erosion made by the evil spirit wasn't really that bad at all. It even brought some improvements to them because as they expelled the evil spirit out of their system, their bodies had also been purified in some ways

However, the excitement from the mini improvement didn't last for quite long. They had found the cons to the effect of the erosion in their bodies--they could not absorb the spiritual energy from the zone they were in. It was due to the fact that for many years now, the spiritual energy and the evil spirit had already been integrated with each other.

And as a result, the rejuvenation of their spiritual energies would be far more difficult. It was because now, after every battle, they would have to rely on the Treasures from Heaven and Earth and other enhancement pills taken along with them

'If things go on like this, those warriors who aren't well prepared would most likely not survive it in here. And even if they don't fight at all, they would also need to consume their spiritual energy to expel the evil spirit. This would use up all their spiritual energy and they would not have anything to use after, * Ricky thought to himself.

He pitied those who were at a disadvantage, but he could do nothing to help but sigh in his heart. "Roar!"

After roaming around the abandoned battlefield for a short while, they suddenly heard a great big roar that shook the ground from where they stood. Then, a massive black leopard, about two meters high, appeared. It leaped down from a tree in front of them and blocked their path.

Ricky found it odd that he was not able to sense the presence of spiritual energy from the black and ferocious leopard. Instead, he felt the eternal power of the evil spirit radiated from it.

"I don't think this is a normal ferocious beast!" Ricky said in a serious tone as he tried to examine the leopard from head to paw. In an effort to distinguish the kind of spirit that inhibited the leopard, he used the power of his two zones. What he found was that its power was equal to that of a warrior at the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement.

"I guess you're right. This is no ordinary beast. It's a devil beast!" Soar whispered to Ricky.

"A devil beast? What does that mean?" Ricky asked Soar in confusion. "Is it some kind of ferocious beast that cultivated with the evil spirit?”

"Yes. In the beginning, devil beasts were no difference from normal beasts. But as their ancestors all lived in this ancient battlefield, they had to evolve to cultivate with the evil spirit,” Soar narrated. "Oh, I see!" Ricky nodded as he found the information useful. "Then let's bring it to a test, shall we? Now let me see how powerful the devil beast and the evil spirits are!"

"Boom!" And in no time, Ricky instantly released the force of roaring flame. The attack was instantaneous and collided with the power of this Devil Leopard.

Meanwhile, this Devil Leopard was also observing Ricky carefully and subtly. It could feel the immense threat from the power released by Ricky.

However, when it made sure that Ricky's power was merely at the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement, it became vicious and more aloof. In the surge of evil spirit, it rushed at Ricky mercilessly.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, a slashing sound of its claw tore up the air. It leaped once more at Ricky's direction ready to attack.

"The Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula! Fire Cloud Fist!"

Ricky roared out loud, activating his body refining formula to the sixth degree. Flames started to crawl up his right fist. Then a cloud of fire exploded, which instantly collided with the leopard's deadly sharp claws.

"Bang!"

The attack was so powerful that it sent both Ricky and the Devil Leopard a few steps back, leaving traces of burnt soil on the ground.

"Tick!" There was silence, and then suddenly, all they heard was the sound of blood trickling down on the ground. Ricky held his fist close to his face and saw bloodstains. He never expected to be injured by the Devil Leopard.

In shock, Ricky again looked at the blood stain on his hand. In his mind, it should have never happened.

He could hardly believe what he saw, because from what he understood, the power of the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement shouldn't be able to break the defense of the Sixth Degree of Nine- degree Body Refining Formula.

However, this Devil Leopard, with merely the power at the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement, broke his defense of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula with such a random attack. How was this even possible?

The Devil Leopard held its head high in pride for it didn't actually know that it could do that damage to Ricky. The leopard already possessed psychic intelligence which gave it a sense of disbelief as to how it did not see this coming. It did not understand how a warrior at the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement was able to surpass the power at the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement.

And in an instant, the Devil Leopard came to a realization that the fighting power of the warrior right in front of it couldn't be judged simply through his realm and his theoretical ability.

This made the Devil Leopard even more furious and even more barbaric. It charged up so much and seemed like it was using all of its strength.

"Oh, Ricky, there's one thing I forgot to tell you. The body of devil beast is much stronger than that of a regular beast of the same realm. Mainly because its body had virtually become the devil's body after so many years in such a place full of evil spirit,” Soar said to Ricky in point of fact.
