"I'm fine!" Pearl said as she nodded her head. " Don't worry about me. I will surely be alright soon after I adjust myself a bit."
Afterwards, Pearl handed the seven bodies of the Void Beasts to Ricky for she knew that he would be able to refine their blood essence more quickly than her.
"Take rest, Pearl. You need it. What kind of Treasures from Heaven and Earth do you need? Feel free to tell me so I can help you recover," Ricky asked with sincere concern in his tone.
But Pearl told him that she did not need any Treasure from Heaven and Earth. However, Ricky still believed that Pearl must have been hurt badly and that she needed them. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to take a rest and adjust herself as soon as she had the time to spare.
'By the looks of it, she needed the soul-restoring pill and the Heaven Soul Stone earlier in order to cultivate the skill she killed Vincent with, ' Ricky thought in his heart.
But being the curious warrior that he was, he wanted to ask Pearl what skill she was employing at the moment, but he didn't voice it out. After all, he wanted to know how powerful her skill was because it was her trump card.
"I know that you're a powerful warrior, Pearl. But if this skill would only do more harms to your body, then I think you'd better not use it that often," Ricky said telepathically. "After all, you are not in a desperate situation right now."
"I know, Ricky, and thank you for the reminder!" Pearl replied as soon as she felt Ricky's dire kindness and concern about her health.
...
Meanwhile, Ricky averted his gaze at the four disciples from the Ling Clan, who were still in a daze.
Feeling that Ricky was watching them, the four men snapped back to reality as they realized what had happened just a few moments ago. Seeing the aftermath, their dumbfounded expressions were suddenly replaced by fear. Looking at each other with horrific faces, they all started running away as if to retreat. After all, Vincent was already dead, and they did not have the courage to go all out to fight this war.
"Hold up, don't you think it's already too late to run away?" Ricky sneered when he saw them fleeing the battlefield.
Before Ricky's voice faded, he began to launch his attack. Gathering his golden fist, he threw a power-packed punch towards one of the men.
"Stop!" A loud roar was heard as it tried to stop what was happening at that moment. And as the voice echoed, shinning and blinding lights shot toward Ricky, as if trying to block him from attacking further. Afterwards, a big star diagram then formed, carrying immense star power which pressed down on Ricky.
"I can't believe my eyes. It's the Great Star Chart!" Ricky, Ares, and Selene exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing where the loud noise came from.
Despite being shocked to their cores, they still had to keep their minds in the game for they had to resist the attack. Because at this time around, the power of the Great Star Chart was even more powerful than that of the upper spiritual king level. It even reached the completed spiritual king level.
"Massacring Pattern Strike!" Ricky shouted as he directly burst out his Massacring Holy Attack. At this point, the rich Massacring Enlightenment surged behind him, turning into the shadow of a Massacring Holy Ant. With its antennae intertwined with each other, Ricky's hands flipped upside and down until the antennae swirled in between his hands. Afterwards, they launched themselves with great speed toward the Great Star Chart, carrying enormous galaxy power.
An earsplitting sound resounded through the sky as soon as Ricky's Massacring Pattern Strike knocked back the Great Star Chart. Ricky even took a few steps back due to the immense power of the attack.
After Ares and Selene witnessed such an amazing attack, both their jaws were agape as they were dumbfounded once again. On the other hand, the four men from the Ling Clan weren't able to help but tremble in fear from what they had just seen. And as upper spiritual kings, they knew and felt that the power of the Great Star Chart was at the completed spiritual king level.
To everyone's surprise, Ricky was able to successfully resist the attack, which only meant one thing—he had the strength of a completed spiritual king.
And right at that moment, more confusing thoughts had entered Ares' and Selene's minds. And one of them was that they could not figure out why the Great Star Chart had attacked them out of the blue. Apart from this, they also got confused as to how could Ricky burst out the power of a completed spiritual king despite the fact that they knew Ricky was not yet a completed spiritual king.
And in a split second, the Great Star Chart was knocked flat to the ground. It even flew backwards right before a golden shadow tried to jump and grasp it. Afterwards, the golden figure landed on the ground next Vincent's corpse and knelt down.
All of a sudden, he seemed to gather all of his strength and made a move, but without a targeted foe. Instead, he directed the move towards the four members of his clan who were beside him.
Puff! Puff! And in the blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Ling Clan spat blood and fell down on the ground, with their chests pierced right through.
"I saved you because I want to kill you with my own hands, and also because you failed to protect my younger brother. Even though you are the core disciples of the Ling Clan, you should take the responsibility for your failure," Colin said coldly as he shook the blood off his right fist.
With his cruel words, everything around them grew cold, even the giant Void Tree shivered from the chilling atmosphere that he created.
And while he did and said all of his thoughts, he had his eyes locked onto Ricky the entire time.
"The way I see it, I think that you are more heartless than your younger brother. Though I wanted to kill them, I still felt sorry for them the moment you ended their lives. After all, they are the members of your clan and they tried their best to be loyal to you and Vincent," Ricky replied as he looked back at him.
"If you claim that they were loyal to me, then they would have died without uttering a single complaint," Colin Ling said lightly as he stared at Ricky's eyes with grave killing intent.
"So, it's your turn now. I don't care who you are, where you're from, or why you possess the power of a completed spiritual king's despite the fact that you are just an upper spiritual king. The only thing I care about is that you killed my brother and I must kill you for revenge," Colin Ling said harshly as he walked slowly towards Ricky.
"Well, in that case, try me," Ricky responded in a determined voice.
Boom! And in a flash, their eyes met. Ready for destruction, powers and domains collided which resulted in such a great magnitude that shook the entire space around them.
Under such a forceful impact, Pearl and the other two warriors couldn't help but retreat and pull themselves far away, all because they knew that they couldn't resist the impact created by two completed spiritual kings.
