Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 1334 A Narrow Escape

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ricky looked on as Rex and the Shura Casket viciously attacked each other. He figured that the two

were completely on par with each other, but it was even more than he had expected.

The blade derived from the Shura Casket was indestructible. It met Rex's strike head-on, obliterated it,

and cut Rex in half.

In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored chains crushed him to dust.

Typically, an individual as powerful as the spiritual potentate could not destroy a spiritual potentate's

body. But Rex had spent eras trapped in the array, which had greatly weakened him, making it possible

for the Shura Casket to destroy his body.

"Give up now, Rex! You can't get out of this alive. How can you resist my master power when you only

have your soul left?" declared the Shura Casket sternly as it stared down on Rex's body parts.

If it terminated Rex's soul right now, he would die for good.

"Darn it!" Rex's soul howled ferociously.

He hated to admit it, but he knew that he couldn't do anything more. Although he was a spiritual

potentate, the years he had spent in the array had weakened him to the point that he could not fight as

well as he used to. To make matters worse, his fight with Eli had left him greatly injured, which put him

in a more disadvantageous position.

"Get ready to die!" the Shura Casket yelled out. Its blood-colored blade came swinging toward Rex's

soul once again. With this, it could finally fulfill its promise to Eli, and it would even be killing a spiritual

potentate from the devil race as a bonus. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

They were fortunate to have Rex trapped in the array, as he would have brought great pain and

suffering to the continent otherwise.

"You're dreaming! The likes of you can never kill me," Rex's soul shouted back in rebellion.

He would not just stand by and wait to be killed! At once, he condensed his remaining power and

collided against the blood-colored blade with all his might.

But his struggle was futile. Even from where Ricky was standing, he could sense that Rex's soul was

too weak to hurt the Shura Casket's blood-colored blade.

'I can't believe I get to see a spiritual potentate from the devil race die while I am at the Emperor Level!

I'm so lucky!' Ricky joyfully cried in his mind.

However, his rejoicing was abruptly cut off, and all his hair stood on end. His zones were screaming at

him that something dangerous was coming.

The zones had never let Ricky down before. Thus, he immediately became wary of his surroundings.

He activated the Ultimate Golden Body at the sixth level without a second thought, and then he

gathered all his powers into his golden body to protect himself.

Meanwhile, Rex's soul continued to make his move. "Devil Corpse Possession!" he shouted at the top

of his lungs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the words fell from his lips, something stirred within the array. Grey storm clouds emerged, violent

winds furiously blew, and strong evil spirit and corpse miasma appeared and filled the array instantly.

Intense tremors plagued the giant array as if it was about to break.

Rex's soul changed into a tiny beam of light, which bypassed the Shura Casket's blade and pierced

through the array. It went straight for Ricky.

'No way! He is trying to take over my body!' Ricky cried out silently in shock when he saw this, and

terror took hold in his heart.

At this point, he finally understood why his zones were freaking out earlier.

He hastily harnessed the array's power to protect himself from Rex's soul, which was quickly

approaching. However, the light beam seemed immune to the array's power, and it reached Ricky in

the blink of an eye.

"Oh, crap! Ricky!" exclaimed the Shura Casket as it was caught by surprise. It didn't expect that Rex

could possess others. At this point, the Shura Casket was unsure what would happen if Rex

successfully possessed Ricky. But one thing was for sure—Ricky would die after he got possessed.

That was the last thing the Shura Casket wanted to happen.

After all, it was a supreme weapon that had the strength of a spiritual potentate. And it was the one that

had brought Ricky here. The Shura Casket felt somewhat responsible for him, so it couldn't let him die

under its watch.

It also admired Ricky's talent and saw him as an asset on their side.

However, it was too late. Rex had caught the Shura Casket completely off-guard.

The light beam flew into Ricky's Soul Sea. It was so fast that Ricky couldn't even move to stop it.

Even though Rex was weak in front of the Shura Casket, he was still much stronger compared to Ricky,

who was merely at the Emperor Level.

"How ironic! I have to possess a creature from the continent. Who knew I would end up like this?" Rex

muttered with disdain. He hated taking over a body such as this, but he had no other choice.

"Alas! Is this how I'm going to die?" Ricky cried out in frustration, unwilling to accept that Rex was

taking over his body.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The mysterious axe, which had been quiet all this time, suddenly unleashed its power and forced Rex's

spiritual power out of Ricky's body.

"What's going on? This isn't supposed to happen!" Rex's soul blurted out in panic.

"The mysterious axe is working," murmured Ricky in astonishment. He was so relieved that he could

cry! It seemed that the mysterious axe had saved him once again.

'It seems like the mysterious axe has great resistance against the devil race. Every time the devils try

to possess me, it intervenes and unleashes this unknown power, ' thought Ricky.

The scene that was unfolding left the Shura Casket dumbfounded too.

A spiritual emperor that could resist a spiritual potentate from taking over him was unheard of! It didn't

matter how weak the spiritual potentate was, as the gap between the two levels was too great.

But this was not the moment to dwell on such things.

The Shura Casket knew that Rex's soul would grow weaker if this particular skill had been activated, so

this was the best time to make its move to end Rex for good.

In an instant, it formed another blood-colored blade. As soon as the blade emitted blood-colored light,

all the evil spirit and corpse miasma in the array dissipated as if they never existed.

Once the Shura Casket could not detect even the smallest trace of Rex's aura, it heaved a deep sigh of Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

relief. "It's done!" It rejoiced.

Finally, it had fulfilled its promise to its master.

Ricky also sighed deeply, still coming down from the adrenaline rush. He had narrowly escaped death.

If it weren't for the mysterious axe, he would have become a devil.

At this point, the shura power in the array appeared again. It transformed into blood-colored chains and

cleansed the remaining evil spirit and corpse miasma around them.

They were safe now. The Shura Casket turned to look at Ricky curiously, wondering how he had forced

a spiritual potentate out of his body.

A knowing look flashed in Ricky's eyes, as he met its gaze. He knew what was on the Shura Casket's

mind, but he wanted to keep the mysterious axe a secret. It seemed that the Shura Casket noticed the

troubled expression on Ricky's face, and it decided to respect his privacy by not pushing for an

explanation. Everyone had secrets after all.

"It looks like I've made the right decision by choosing you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to

succeed," said the Shura Casket.

"We have gotten rid of this spiritual potentate from the devil race for good, right?" Ricky confirmed.

"Yes," answered the Shura Casket with a nod. "Although it took such a long time, it is all worth it. After

all, it was not some small fry that we defeated but a spiritual potentate from the devil race. My master

would have loved to see this."

After saying that, the Shura Casket fell silent. It stared blankly into the distance with glassy eyes, as

thoughts of Eli flooded his mind.

"Those spiritual potentates from the ancient times are heroes, and they certainly deserve our respect. If

it weren't for their sacrifices, the devil race would have occupied the four continents," uttered the

Dragon Intent Grass earnestly.

"All right. As I have promised, I will give you my master's stuff now. I should have shared with you his

inheritance. But it is only for creatures from the Shura tribe.

I hope you won't take that against me," admitted the Shura Casket.

"Don't say that, sir. I didn't even help much. All this time, I yearned for nothing else but Master Eli's

things, and since you have determined me worthy to receive them, I will be eternally grateful to you.

Besides, I am a creature from the continent.

It is my duty to eliminate the devil race,"

Ricky responded modestly.

"Young man, your words make me admire you even more. You are not only strong and talented but

also responsible. Perhaps, you will become the first spiritual potentate of this era," the Shura Casket

praised Ricky with much admiration.

In the next breath, it collected its strength, as two balls of blood-colored light materialized in front of

Ricky.
