The legendary warrior

Chapter 1436 Mutants VS Fists

"Ha-ha! This Ricky is a fool! He must have no idea what our young master is capable of," another man mocked Ricky, letting out a boisterous laugh.

"Keep this in mind, brat. My name is Benny, and I will be sending you back to your creator soon," the young man in charge of the group from the Seven-mouthed Greed Beast tribe growled with a ferocious expression. In the next second, he unleashed his momentum and aimed it at Ricky.

This revealed that Benny was an upper spiritual emperor.

When Ricky's companions sensed his momentum, their eyebrows furrowed in concern. They didn't expect that their opponent would be so daunting.

"This is bad! He is an upper spiritual emperor!" they exclaimed in unison.

It didn't take a genius to know that they couldn't hold a candle against an opponent that was an upper spiritual emperor.

They were aware that Ricky stood no chance against Benny, who had the higher level.

It would have been better if Benny had just broken through since that would give them a better chance. Unfortunately, they could tell that Benny had broken through to that level a long time ago.

He was a truly formidable opponent, which they should have expected, seeing as he was a Seven- mouthed Greed Beast.

"Benny, if you dare to harm me, the Fox tribe will hunt you down," Leilani threatened the other man, trying to act tough even when she was anxious.

She knew they couldn't fight them head-on, so she tried to intimidate Benny and his companions with the influence of her tribe.

Her brain felt clouded by anxiety. If she was in her right mind, Leilani would never have made the same threat when faced with the descendants of the Greed Beast. After all, the Greed Beast was short- sighted, and once it had set its sights on something, it wouldn't give up. No influence or power could make it back off. As long as it thought of you as prey, it would hunt you down relentlessly.

"Hmm... Leilani, huh? I've heard of you. You are the holy daughter of the Seven-tailed Fox tribe. To be honest, if it weren't for that hottie, you would have been my first choice of all the girls here," Benny remarked lustfully when he heard Leilani's threat.

The greed in his voice was eerily apparent, and it made Leilani's skin crawl.

"Calm down, Leilani. You must have been too nervous you even forgot that the Greed Beast tribe values strength above all else. Threats will never work on them," Claire reminded Leilani through telepathy.

"Don't worry so much. Ricky got this!" she added further as she gazed at Ricky with confidence.

"Are you sure? This guy has a higher level than Ricky. I'm worried he might overwhelm Ricky..." responded Leilani worriedly.

"We'll be fine... Since he didn't ask us to escape, he is confident that he can handle it," Claire reassured her.

"Ricky, let me deal with this guy. It has been a while since he became an upper spiritual emperor," the Evil Mandragora proposed telepathically.

"My lady, please don't act rashly. If you make a move now, you will inevitably release the evil spirit, which will draw the attention of all the saints in the Legendary Beast Region," Ricky immediately warned her.

"But how can I let you fight? You are at a disadvantage in the skip-level challenge," protested the Evil Mandragora.

"Ha-ha! Who knows? Maybe I got back my ability to challenge opponents with superior levels now," he responded, looking unruffled despite his oppressive assailant.

With no hesitation, Ricky stepped forward and stood opposite Benny.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The next second started with Ricky bursting out the seven kinds of Light Apperception, and the forces with distinct colors tangled with one another.

"You have the nerve to fight with me!" Benny uttered with a disdainful sneer. "You might be a top genius, but don't overestimate yourself! You cannot defeat someone with a superior level."

Ever since Ricky acquired Paul's inheritance in the Third Sheol City, he landed on the radar of countless forces, and those people sent spies to watch his every move. That was how they found out about what happened during Ricky's fight with Fernando. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

It was the reason Benny was so confident that Ricky stood no chance against him, as long as he had a higher level than him.

The moment Benny finished speaking, he sprang into action and released the extreme power of greed, throwing a punch in Ricky's direction at the same time.

The fist shadow transformed into a mouth intermittently. Ricky realized he could sense the strong devouring power in the fist shadow, and that must be why it was so potent.

The devouring power that the fist shadow contained seemed as strong as that in Ricky's Devourer Zone.

'I heard that the Greed Beasts not only possess a strong power of greed, but they also have the devouring power. I see now that rumor is accurate...' Ricky silently mused as he contemplated Benny's attack.

In a glance, he could tell that Benny's punch contained both the devouring power and the greed power.

That meant Benny could not only devour the Light Apperception and the Intent Apperception, but he could also devour Ricky's flesh and cells.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A cracking sound began to surface from Ricky's body. His flesh had begun to disintegrate.

Ricky had this power to devour flesh and bones as well, but it was his Devourer Zone that did the job for him.

Without the Devourer Zone, Ricky could only devour the Light Apperception and the Intent Apperception himself.

Using the power of the Devouring Mutant, he hurled out a Devouring Fist against Benny.

In the next instant, an intense eruption shook the entire place as their powers engaged in a fierce collision.

The airwaves billowed and swept around two figures, who were interlocked in a tense battle. However, it soon became evident who had the upper hand in the fight.

It was Benny.

On the other hand, Ricky was quickly losing his ground.

"It looks like you overestimated yourself. Have you learned your lesson?" Benny mocked him with an eyebrow raised. "If you want to live, you better start begging for your life. And, perhaps, give us everything you have to sweeten the deal."

The other man merely ignored his words

and, instead, activated his mutant.

Ricky burst out one mutant after another. When he noticed that he was still at a disadvantage after he burst out one mutant, he unleashed the next and continued in this way up to the seventh mutant. Finally, he and Benny were at a stalemate.

Fernando was a middle spiritual emperor at peak state when Ricky knocked him down a peg with activating a single mutant.

But now, even with the help of seven mutants and the chaotic power, he could barely keep up with Benny.

This vast difference underlined the gap between the middle spiritual emperor and the upper spiritual emperor. It was far wider compared to the disparity between the middle spiritual emperor and the lower spiritual emperor.

And there was one more problem. Ricky had lost advantage in the skip-level challenge.

"I was surprised that you are just a middle spiritual emperor, and yet you dared to go against me. So I thought you must have something up your sleeve. Seeing that you possess seven mutants, I guess I was right," Benny murmured darkly.

"It only proves that you are not a genius. Otherwise, no matter how many mutants I have, you will defeat me," answered Ricky flippantly as if he wanted to provoke the other man even more.

"Are you trying to piss me off?" growled Benny. "It's too bad you are doomed to fail. You see, I haven't shown my real strength yet."

The moment those words left his mouth, his momentum surged to its highest peak.

"Omnipotent Skill—Devouring Fist Punch!" he yelled out.

At the same time, Benny let out a fearsome roar.

The whole upper part of his hand was covered in black devouring power, which contained the power of greed.

A mouth abruptly emerged from it. A second passed, and another appeared.

In the blink of an eye, he had gained seven giant mouths. It merged with the devouring power and greedy power, formed seven vortexes, and morphed into seven fist shadows, which sped towards Ricky like bullets.

Faced with such a potent move, Ricky had no choice but to summon his Ultimate Golden Body at the sixth level. It was the only way he could defend himself.

Otherwise, Benny's devouring power spurred on by the greedy power would break his flesh apart and weaken his strength in an instant.

"Seven mutants, form a lotus!"

At the same time, Ricky also released his chaotic power and merged it with the power of his seven mutants. A lotus with seven petals appeared and quickly expanded as it hovered over his head.

Once the seven fist shadows were close enough, Ricky aimed the lotus at the shadows.

In between one breath and the next, the two forces collided. Their impact produced violent airwaves that wrecked the entire surrounding and even the space beyond.

Everywhere the airwaves swept, potent power surged next and drowned everything.

All the people present had to gather their strength to withstand the airwaves except for the Evil Mandragora, who remained unyielding.
