The legendary warrior

The tense silence on the battlefield went on for a long time. All of a sudden, a confident voice broke through their reverie.

"Extreme chaotic fire!"

It seemed to come from the rift in the sky.

The next instant, the fissure slowly swelled up as if it would explode.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Hairline cracks started appearing, as grey-white flames seemed to burn from within.

This was the power of the Fire Dragon Extremity combined with the power of Ricky's sacred fire and peculiar fire. Each cloud of chaotic fire that the Fire Dragon Extremity created acted like a sharp blade that cut the rift like it was a thin piece of paper.

Before long, the cracks had multiplied thousands of times, and Fernando's rift began to leak too much power. And at this point, he couldn't gather more, as Ricky's Chaotic Fire Lotus was looming too near.

The flaming lotus, which was bolstered by the protective covering of the chaotic power, instantly expanded, causing the fissure to widen until it finally broke apart.

It gradually dissipated into thin air, as the flaming lotus burned all of it unto the very last trace of its power.

Suddenly, blood spurted out from somewhere in the sky. It looked like crimson rain for a second. A figure showed up on the platform, shuffled away, and backed down. He didn't stop until he was about a thousand meters from where he had been standing.

It was none other than Fernando, who had clearly lost.

Ricky could have easily killed him with the lotus if this were a life and death battle.

But, fortunately, it wasn't. The flames soon died down, and Ricky alighted on the platform as well.

It was only at this moment that the disciples came back to their senses. They couldn't help but gasp in shock. "No way!" they exclaimed with their mouths agape in disbelief.

They were stupefied that Ricky didn't even need the power of his second mutant to take down Fernando, a genius who was a middle spiritual emperor at peak state.

"No middle spiritual emperor can challenge him now. I'm afraid he can even go toe to toe against a three-star upper spiritual emperor. At the very least, he could probably hold his own against a three-star upper spiritual emperor even if he couldn't outright take him down," a disciple who was an upper spiritual emperor remarked thoughtfully as he gazed at Ricky in awe.
