Chapter 1437 Devouring Power VS Devouring Power

Their forces collided fiercely, and soon after, it began to dissipate. As the dust settled, two figures came into view. Ricky was bent down, clutching on to his chest, blood dripping from his mouth.

"I'll finish you in three moves," Benny declared arrogantly when he saw that he had managed to injure Ricky.

'Well, there does seem to be a gap in power, ' Ricky thought to himself, wiping the blood off his mouth.

Benny started gathering his strength and the black devouring power surrounded him. He was getting ready to launch a potent attack against Ricky.

If his opponent had not been Ricky, Benny might have chosen to play with him before taking him out. But Ricky was famous. He was known to be strong and his talent was spoken widely of. Benny had no choice but to go all out. He didn't want to give a single moment for Ricky to counter. He had to defeat him as soon as possible!

"Since you are prepared to finish me in three moves, I guess I can't hold back anymore," Ricky said with a smirk.

And soon after, the land reverberated with the sound of a dragon. Power began to gush out from the seven runes; they were no longer ordinary runes, but holy runes which contained the holy power of heaven and earth.

In an instant, Ricky's momentum and strength greatly improved by many folds.

Without wasting time, the two clashed once again, but this time, they were matched in strength and speed.

"It looks like this round is a tie. This man is able to challenge higher level warriors again. It is possible that he had never lost the ability, but he had been hiding his true strength on purpose during his fight

with Fernando," Mordechai analyzed as he watched the fight.

"That's not it. When he became a middle-level spiritual emperor at peak state, he had almost lost the ability to challenge superior levels. But he has now become a casting master of Sage Level. The power of the holy runes has helped him get back that ability. As you may already know, Ricky possessed the runes from his birth. He never had to cultivate to achieve them.

Owing to that, I presume he could challenge warriors who are stronger than him when he is a middle- level spiritual emperor at peak state.

But once he becomes an upper-level spiritual emperor, he would stand no chance against those with superior levels unless he acquires some special power,"

the Evil Mandragora explained.

"I see. But still, even though he couldn't challenge someone of higher level, no one at his own level could be a match for him at this point," Mordechai replied.

At that moment, Mordechai felt a vague sense of pressure. He knew that Ricky was no weaker than him now.

"You had us all fooled. It looks like you are still very much capable of challenging higher levels," Benny said, as he narrowed his eyes at Ricky.

"When did I fool you? I never told anyone what my limits were. You took some wild guess on your won," Ricky snapped back with a sneer.

"The higher the level, the harder the skip-level challenge is. But it feels great to challenge someone who is stronger than me. I feel I have infinite strength and I am eager to fight my opponent on my skip- level challenge,"

Ricky said to the Dragon Intent Grass, his voice filled with obvious excitement.

"Too bad you can't use the same skill once you level up again," the Dragon Intent Grass replied.

"It indeed is a pity. But I will take your advice and be content with what I have now. After all, even those incredible demi-spiritual emperors couldn't defeat higher level warriors once they had reached the Emperor Level. I plan to cherish every minute I get to utilize this ability,"

Ricky said with a wide smile.

"Devouring Greedy Mutant!" Benny shouted with a twisted expression.

He activated his mutant.

The Chaotic Greed Beast was made of pure greed and devouring capability. Its descendants had its blood power, and possessed the Devouring Greedy Mutant.

Ricky remained unapologetically confident. "Let's see whose devouring mutant is better, yours or mine," he said, brimming with fighting spirit.

Ricky released the bright ancestral spirit and merged all of his powers into the devouring runes.

He intended to beat Benny using mainly his devouring power.

"Ha! Are you honestly trying to defeat me with devouring power? This is hilarious! Don't you know that we Greed Beasts are the best when it comes to devouring power? You have dug your own grave! I'm gonna devour you!" Benny growled.

The harsh sound resounded through the air. In an instant, Benny was wrapped around by the dark devouring power once again and the power of greed.

Benny had taken his beast form—a Seven-mouthed Greed Beast.

The creature had the body of a short thick python.

Though from afar, it looked quite like a giant snail without its shell. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Either way, the evil aura it exuded was no joke.

The devouring and greed were evil powers.

The seven huge, dark mouths made up most of its body. Each of them glided in the air with an endless amount of devouring and greed powers.

Of course, they were nothing significant compared to the creatures with extremely evil mutant power.

If not, the Greed Beast tribe would have been wiped out by now.

'So, this is the Greed Beast... It looks more like the descendant of the evil existence from hell than that of the legendary beast, ' Ricky remarked as he studied Benny's beast form.

"In this world, there exists noble legendary beasts and evil legendary beasts. This is how the world keeps its balance. Just like how there are bad people among the good ones.

Besides, this is just how we define nobility. The evil creatures regard the Greed Beast as the superior existence.

You should be careful. The Greed Beast's devouring power is not any weaker than your Devourer Zone's power. Moreover, remember that there is no power that can restrain the devouring power," the Dragon Intent Grass warned.

"I understand. It's a good thing that I have the chaotic power and the bright ancestral spirit," Ricky responded.

"Ricky! You are dead meat. Everything you have is going to be mine!" Benny yelled with a murderous look as his seven mouths opened wide. His loud voice shattered the large area around them.

This strange behavior was the result of Benny turning into his beast form. Once the Greed Beast took their beast form, they would be carried away with a malicious greed.

The greedy nature took over them and occupied their heads, making them believe that they needed to get their hands on everything of value, whoever it belonged to. And they would go to great lengths to get their hands on something they have set their eyes on.

The honest truth was that Ricky indeed possessed some greed-worthy stuff, and that was Paul's inheritance.

"Devouring Omnipotent Skill—Devouring Mouth Attack!" Benny roared.

As he spoke, a drop of black-red blood appeared out of each of his seven mouths. It was his blood essence.

The blood essence merged with the power gushing out of his seven giant mouths, and rose into the air in front of him. Soon, a shadow of the Greed Beast appeared, and this Greed Beast only had one mouth.

It seemed to be the shadow of the legendary Chaotic Greed Beast.

The shadow opened its mouth wide as it flew swiftly towards Ricky.

Ricky felt a strong pressure and the imminent danger approaching him.

"Ancestral Intent Formula, it's time for you to show what you are capable of!" Ricky said quickly as he took his fighting stance.

The golden blood within his body responded, and Ricky's body instantly grew larger, reaching almost fifty feet.

Armed with the bright ancestral spirit and the Ancestral Intent Formula, Ricky felt like he was the heavenly law of the area and that his body was the essence of heaven and earth.

His eyes flashed with the blood-colored devouring holy runes, and the Devourer Zone began to take shape behind him, absorbing all his powers and gathering them together.

"You have the dark devouring mouth, and I have the Evil Devouring Mouth. Let's see who wins!" Ricky said.

As soon as he finished, his Evil Devouring Mouth was formed. It emitted a blood-colored aura as it dashed toward the giant black shadow.
