Chapter 1378 The Nether Fire
Chapter 1378 The Nether Fire
"Ha-ha!" Suddenly, Chandler threw his head back and laughed.
Then, the dark-yellow Light Apperception on the surface of his body started to burn. Beneath it, a new
power appeared, gushing out all around him. It was the real nether power.
Nether power was a type of dark power that could turn into flames and burn, but it felt ice cold to the
touch.
"Fine. If that's what you want, I'll show you my real strength!" Chandler roared, baring his teeth as he
glared at Ricky.
"He's going to use the nether power?" Ricky murmured to himself. Seconds later, grey power surged
out of his body. It was the chaotic power. It merged with the powers of the seven mutants and it
prepared to confront the nether power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, Mordechai and the others started fighting with Matthias and their other enemies,
trying to keep them from joining Chandler and attacking Ricky.
In the distance, Jedidiah and Miller were sitting back and watching the battle unfold. They weren't
fighting against each other.
When Chandler noticed that Miller wasn't helping him in the fight, anger ripped through him, but he
couldn't do anything about it. Miller wasn't afraid of the Nether Phoenix tribe or the Great Phoenix tribe.
All he wanted was for Miller to stop Jedidiah from helping Ricky, and Jedidiah wasn't currently doing
anything either.
As the real nether power encroached on Ricky, he was consumed by an invisible piercing coldness that
went straight to his heart.
Ricky had no choice but to use the chaotic fire runes to resist it.
"The nether power is really so frigid," Ricky sighed through his chattering teeth. "But somewhere in that
coldness, I can smell the sacred fire."
The chaotic power merged with the powers of the seven mutants. The runes that were formed
surrounded Ricky's arms, making them as hard as sacred weapons.
Chandler noticed Ricky preparing another attack and hurried to use his nether power to form his hands
into claws.
Meeting in the middle, the two men battled with their claws and fists. Wherever they went, the space
shattered and violent air waves spread out.
Chandler swung his claws frantically, trying to freeze everything, but within moments, Ricky's grey fists
had broken them. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
However, Ricky was still at a disadvantage.
There were scars appearing on his skin, but fortunately, the speed at which they were coming was
decreasing.
As he fought with Chandler, Ricky gradually adapted to his current realm.
Of course, that didn't go unnoticed by Chandler. After all, he was a genius that was close to an ace
genius.
"Are you trying to match your realm by taking advantage of my power, brat?" Chandler spat. "It's not
possible. I've never been the stepping stone of one of my enemies.
Three claws in one!"
The moment he was done speaking, Chandler took several steps backwards. The cold nether power
swept over his head and around both sides of him. Then, the shadow of a black phoenix appeared and
spun in the air, transforming into three phoenix claws.
The claws drew closer in midair, joining to form one huge claw.
Whoosh! A sound that made Ricky's ears ring filled the air as the huge claw sliced towards him.
"Unfortunately, you have already done it. You have become my stepping stone," Ricky said coldly as he
activated the Space-shrinking Pace and dodged the claw.
When he looked back, Ricky's eyes had filled with golden light. His Ultimate Golden Body rose from the
ground.
"Indestructible Hand!"
Golden purple indestructible power emerged, turning into a beam of light. In the air, it condensed into a
big hand and it swept forward, colliding with the huge claw.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the hand hit the claw, the impact was like two giant oars stirring up an endless sea.
Seconds later, the two Omnipotent Skills collapsed at the same time.
But Chandler was slightly stronger once again.
Under the strong anti-seismic force, Ricky was sent flying backwards, leaving a deep trace in the void.
But he had the Ultimate Golden Body protecting him, so he was not harmed.
'He is pretty powerful. No wonder he defeated me during the first round a month ago, ' Ricky thought,
shaking his head. 'Unfortunately for him, I'm not who I was a month ago.
I'm familiar with his realm. Now, the real battle begins."
His golden pupils flashed with colorful light, and chromatic energy released into the air around Ricky.
Boom! Boom!
Chandler frowned and chased after Ricky. He didn't want to give Ricky another chance to escape or
fight back. In the blink of an eye, Chandler's body was surrounded by a dark yellow, cold flame.
The flame was filled with the power of a sacred fire.
And even worse, the fire burned with an endless coldness.
It was the sacred fire of the Nether Phoenix—the Nether Fire.
"I'll take the Nether Fire from you!" Ricky grinned. On the inside, he could feel the Chaotic Fire Zone
becoming excited.
"Nether Fire—Nether Ice Seal!"
Ignoring Ricky's threat, Chandler released the Nether Fire and the Omnipotent Skill that had evolved
from his blood power of the Nether Phoenix.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Before Ricky had time to breath, two dark-yellow ice phoenixes shot out of Chandler's body like arrows
and whistled towards him.
Ricky rolled his hands into fists and smashed the two phoenixes into pieces.
As the phoenixes broke and the pieces hit the ground, a large amount of dark-yellow ice formed around
Ricky and froze everything in an instant. Ricky was unable to move, like an ice sculpture.
Wasting no time, Chandler extended his claw, meaning to slice through Ricky's frozen body.
He wanted to kill Ricky for good.
If he were to get his way, Ricky would be left with nothing but his soul and he would be in a lot of
trouble.
However, before Chandler could reach him, the ice sculpture shattered, and torrents of flames rushed
out.
The flames had been created using many types of sacred fires and peculiar fires. They worked
together to melt all of the dark-yellow ice in the area, and then they joined to form a flaming lotus.
Chandler watched it coming towards him with wide eyes.
"Not even the patriarch of the Great Phoenix tribe is qualified to play with the sacred fire in front of me,"
Ricky said as flames engulfed his body.
"I didn't know that he had all of these sacred fires and peculiar fires inside of him," Miller said, blinking
several times. "Right now, he has the qualifications to say that the patriarch of the Great Phoenix tribe
shouldn't play with the sacred fire in front of him."
"Yes. He has the seven mutants, after all," Jedidiah said. "Do you think we could be his opponents if we
are at the same level?"
"I don't think so. Can't you feel it? All of his mutants are top mutants. How else would he be able to
control the sacred fires and peculiar fires?" Miller replied, shaking his head.
"Damn it!" Chandler cursed, retreating as fast as he could.
His Nether Fire was strong, but that didn't matter. There were too many sacred fires and peculiar fires
for it to block.
When Ricky saw Chandler trying to retreat, he shook his head and activated the Space-shrinking Pace.
Then, he sent his flaming lotus after his enemy. A few seconds later, Chandler was unable to dodge the
attacks any longer.
Chandler stopped retreating and yelled over his shoulder, "Nether Ice Shield!"
His hands danced in the air, creating an array. Slowly, the Nether Fire merged with the nether power
and turned into ice, forming a huge shield around his body.
"Suppress!"
Ricky roared, and the flaming lotus instantly descended, slamming into the ice shield that was around
Chandler.
"Fire Dragon Extremity!"
At this moment, Ricky activated the Fire Dragon Extremity.
