Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 316 Ricky's Secret Zone

"I'm sorry, Ricky, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you in this respect. The truth is that I didn't know much about the origin of the rumor. I came to the Chaotic Region with Doris ten years ago and she helped me to establish the Dahlia Palace in order to cover my true identity. Ever since, I've heard about the rare opportunity of becoming an innate spiritual king.

Also, I've heard the rumor that a Bronze Key is hidden inside the body of the Skeleton Dragon, and that it has something to do with the chance. But I didn't know about the blood essence of the dragon until we hunted it down,” Tina admitted.

"So, I have no idea who started the rumor either.” She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "Don't feel the need to apologize Tina. I'm not like that. So, it seems that the Endless Shadow has all the crucial information,” Ricky commented as he blinked his eyes.

"Oh, they are dangerous. Always keep that in mind, Tina. Although you have Doris, you ought to be more careful. We have no clue what they're about to do next at all," he warned in a serious tone. "Yes, Ricky! I'll keep myself safe, I promise. I'm quite confident about my capacity to do this,” Tina giggled, a smile resting on her lips.

"Oh, there's another thing I'd like to warn you about. The Endless Shadow, their existence is not contained in the Realm of Wildness, but they are spread all over the Misty South. They show up and disappear quietly, watching each one of their targets secretly. I would say they are actually the most powerful and dangerous force in this continent.”

"What? They are spread all over the Misty South!?" Ricky exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide as saucers. Tina's information surprised him to the core.

This shocked news haunted him for quite a few moments.

"Don't you worry too much, my friend. With Doris beside us, those shadows can't hurt you so easily," Tina comforted with a giggle. His shocked expression kind of amused her.

She knew Ricky had been identified as a key target by the Endless Shadow.

"Well, I'm not being frightened. I just didn't know that they were so powerful and had so many connections,” Ricky replied, his tone still revealing his stunned state. He was trying hard to digest this news.

Despite his claim of not being frightened, he cursed secretly in his mind. “What the hell?! I even told Tyson that we were going to take the Endless Shadow down! Oh, goodness! Maybe in our dreams! The most powerful organization here! I have to admit that I'm not that fearless now.’ He hid these thoughts from Tina.

"All right! We can't just talk here endlessly. That's enough for today. Stay here and I'll bring Kristen soon,” Tina suggested.

She wished she could spend more time talking to him. She hated to just let him go so soon. However, she knew she couldn't do that. The longer he stayed here, the more easily he might be discovered.

"Yes, sure. Thank you," Ricky replied and watched her leave the room.

A few moments later, Tina brought Kristen in. Ricky's eyes lit up at the sight of Kristen. Tina noticed this and felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. She tried hard to suppress her frustration and offered to walk them out. It could be said that she was being nice in offering to do this, but truth be told, it was so that she could spend more time with Ricky.

Tina took the lead and escorted Ricky and Kristen out. A few minutes later, Tina stopped and said, "I'll turn back here. I can't leave the palace for too long because other forces are spying on the Dahlia Palace.”

"Sure, we understand. Take care,” Ricky bade her goodbye.

Tina then turned around and headed back to her place. If it were not because of those annoying little birds, she would have walked with them for a longer time.

"Not bad, huh? You didn't forget me, at the least, Russell!" Kristen said after Tina disappeared into the distance.

"I will never forget you, ever! There is no one single second when I did not think about you," Ricky said with just the hint of a smile. "That's why I showed up in the Dahlia Palace! Feel free to join me as long as you wish! But be warned; this will be a perilous journey. Ha-ha," Ricky exclaimed before he burst into laughter.

"Ha-ha. That's enough, man. Stop kidding. Is Tyson all right? I'm worried about him,” Kristen asked with concerned eyes.

"Easy, easy! He's still breathing, alive and kicking," Ricky replied. "He's staying with Soar now. They are waiting for us in a secret valley. Let's go.”

"It's a relief to know he's fine," Kristen sighed. "Lead the way."

Immediately, they set off and moved towards their destination quickly. They made no efforts to hide themselves along the way. That was a deliberate choice as Ricky wanted the spies to know that Kristen was staying with him

This way, Tina would not become a target.

It was a relief to have Tina's words that she would protect Trent and Bastian, as well as the members of the Manor Palace. Next, he would focus all his attention on dealing with the dangers ahead of him.

Strangely, they did not see any warriors from other forces along the way.

"Kristen, did you notice? How odd! No warrior has appeared the whole way," he exclaimed to her, puzzled.

"Yes, that does seem rather weird! But let's just ignore it and keep moving ahead. That's our priority after all!” replied Kristen.

"Alright then!"

It was once they reached their destination that they found out the reason for this

The warriors had gathered here, dozens of them surrounding the valley. It was obvious that their secret spot was discovered. Mighty bangs burst out continuously and echoed throughout the space. Ricky and Kristen took a harder look. Seven figures were floating in the air. Six of them were channeling their spiritual energy. They were no other than the six demi-immortals of the Chaotic Region. Another warrior stood in the center of them. His feet left the ground and suspended high above, with his hands behind his back. The spiritual energy surrounding him was far stronger than that of the other six demi-immortals.

Needless to say, he was one of the lower spiritual kings from the Endless Shadow.

A red snake hovered in the air, coiled against them. It was Soar. Soar was a mess now. His body had been hurt by the attacks, wounds on his scales dripping with blood. He had no time to recover. Fighting these warriors must have taken up much of his energy!

On his back sat Tyson who was also in a bad state. He panted as he glared at them with red eyes. Obviously, a fierce fight had broken out just now.

"Beast! Give the Celestial Flower and bow to me. I shall be your king from now. You will survive if you do so," the innate spiritual king demanded coldly.

"Bow to you? You old monster man! That's never gonna happen! Oh, come on! You have to know yourself better before you blurt out those inane words. You want to be my king? In your dreams,” Soar cursed resentfully. The man's words were disgustingly insult.

"You are asking for death, you little arrogant beast!" the innate spiritual king roared in rage, irritated by Soar's defiance. He launched the attack at once.

"You fled when I was being careless last time. It will not happen this time, I promise! Today is going to be your last day breathing in this world!"

"What should we do, Russell? They're losing the fight!" Kristen whispered. She saw everything clearly and could not help but grow worried about Soar and Tyson. They were losing their energy fighting against so many strong warriors.

“Well, I'm afraid I'll have to use my secret weapon now. This is urgent! Otherwise, they will die there!" Ricky told himself.

He turned to Kristen and looked into her eyes. "Kristen, promise me you will not feel too shocked no matter what you see next! I'll explain everything to you after we save them.” He was determined to use his secret weapon now. It had to be done. He had no other choice!

Kristen, on the other hand, looked back at him with puzzled eyes. She didn't understand what Ricky meant at all! Before she could even ask, Ricky had already channeled his internal strength and activated the Chaotic Fire Zone. In the blink of an eye, he and Kristen were now transported to the mysterious zone.

Kristen was taken aback by this sudden, surprising change. She looked around several times and finally turned to look at Ricky, her beautiful eyes filled with perplexity. Her jaw dropped and she froze as she stared at Ricky, eyes wide in utter shock. She tried to ask, but the surprise had already seized her so that she was even unable to make a noise.

Ricky did not have the energy and time to care about Kristen, who stayed dumbfounded. There was something more important now. He manipulated the zone and approached Tyson and Soar instantly. He enlarged his mind and immediately, the Chaotic Fire Zone engulfed Soar and Tyson right before the innate spiritual king's attack hit them.

"Finally! Here you are!" Soar bellowed with excitement the moment he entered the Chaotic Fire Zone. He had been so close to a fatal strike that might have been the end of him!

Tyson, on the other hand, was as dumbfounded as Kristen. Kristen met with his surprised eyes. She just shook her head, indicating that she was at a loss and had no idea what happened and where they were either.

Outside the Chaotic Fire Zone, a stir rose among the warriors.

"They are gone! They disappeared! Are they ghosts? I can't believe my eyes!" someone exclaimed. It was just too shocking to digest what just happened. The beast and the man riding it just disappeared into nowhere!? How incredible! Where could they go? How did they do that? Questions flooded their minds, but they could not find an answer. They turned their eyes to the innate spiritual king, desperate for answers.

As a matter of fact, he had no clue either!

But as an innate spiritual king, he had a lifetime of vast experience and knew more than those ordinary men. Immediately, he thought of the spiritual space tool. There was no way a person could disappear like that without a spiritual space tool. Thinking about this, he grew angrier as his eyes darkened. “Damn it! No other innate spiritual king is here except me! Who could have such ability to do that? Ricky?" he cursed resentfully in his mind.

"Ricky, Russell, Ricky...is he?!" As he muttered the names, he seemed to come to an epiphany! Immediately, he exerted all his strength and sent it to the surroundings, trying to detect Ricky's breath or smell. However, even an innate spiritual king was not powerful enough to feel the existence of the Chaotic Fire Zone. He was doomed to fail.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Feeling nothing but empty air, the innate spiritual king cursed in rage. He bellowed in pure anger and blasted his powerful innate strength. It was so overwhelming that even the six chiefs were unable to resist it. They all stepped back quickly to keep themselves safe from his raging aura.

"Ha-ha! Don't be in such a rush to find me! We will meet someday sooner or later. You will meet your miserable fate, you old pathetic man!" Ricky's voice echoed in the air as he laughed.

"Bang!" The innate spiritual king immediately flung his most powerful attack at the direction of the voice. The other warriors covered their ears and eyes, protecting themselves against the strong airflow stirred by the attack. However, nothing happened at all. The only thing they heard was the rustling of trees in the wind.
