CHAPTER 324 YATES

In the massive graveyard lay the spirit of the completed devil king who was of the same strength and

power as a completed innate spiritual king. And this graveyard also brought an opportunity to those

who wanted to become an innate spiritual king.

But this opportunity, however, was a waste to them. This was because they cultivated spiritual energy

but not an evil spirit, which was the kind that the devil king cultivated. Even if they got the devil king's

inheritance and fortune, it would still turn out to be useless and invaluable.

The opportunity was very tricky because even if they started from scratch and begin to cultivate the evil

spirit and throw away all of their current spiritual energy, chances are, it would still be very difficult for

them because of the risk of losing control and being possessed by the devil. Furthermore, They could

only obtain the evil spirit to sustain their cultivation only if they stayed in this battlefield.

"So, Ricky, what do you think? Should we go for it?" Soar asked Ricky in a whisper. He and Ricky

exchanged looks affirming that they both firmly believed in Royce's warnings.

"Uhm...You know what? I'm not sure about it, either." Both Ricky and Soar had second thoughts about

the idea. Ricky had longed so much for this opportunity that when it came to him, he didn't expect to be

so disappointed at the risks involved. He almost thought that this chance would be impossible for him

from then on. They were all baffled as they comprehended the situation.

They were torn, and they wanted another person's advice. Both of their eyes turned to Royce and

asked for his opinion about the matter.

"I don't think that you should go for it. And even if you do make it, you should still give it up, because it

doesn't match with your method of cultivation." Royce said in a point of fact.

"Meanwhile, even if you are successful at cultivating the evil spirit, your highest achievements will

probably reach their completeness because you ought to follow the path that the others have already

taken. We all know that it is already difficult to exceed one's path, let alone someone else's.

However, there's still another choice. You can still go to the graveyard if you want to. I bet there's

something in there that can help you with your cultivation."

"We got it. Thank you so much, Royce!" Both of Soar and Ricky nodded as a sign of their

understanding.

"So...with all points considered, are you still going to the graveyard?" Ricky wondered.

"No way. I'm a king now. Why should I even bother to pursue some other king's path?" Royce shook his

head. "Well actually, my goal is not just to reach completeness. To me, it's more than that,"

said Royce with the great determination and faith in his cultivation method.

"Understood!" Ricky and Soar replied with a stark tone, after realizing how important the cultivation

process was.

"Without further ado, get ready. Just be careful when you reach the graveyard. See you again in the

ancient battlefield, if we have the chance." Ricky ended the conversation

and left immediately without a fuss.

"You know what? I've got this gut-feeling that we'll see him again," Soar felt deep within him.

"I hope so. I'm all for the real ancient battlefield. It must be so nice to see in person!" Ricky said with

such a hopeful tone.

Ricky turned his eyes to Soar and gave him a quick nod, signaling that they must now proceed with

their journey. They easily left the Devil Beast Valley without any hurdles as a result of the strong power

that they resonated.

When they got out of the Devil Beast Valley, they suddenly noticed the significant increase in the evil holds text © rights.

spirit and its destructive force all throughout the battlefield. It came to their attention that this originated

from the devil king's graveyard.

Ricky and Soar did not waste any more time and hurriedly went in the Chaotic Fire Zone to transport

themselves to where the Dahlia Palace camped out.

The whole Dahlia Palace was shaken by the tremendous movement so they all came together and

aimed for the central place.

And while along the way, Ricky suddenly bumped into Tina halfway

and they rushed to the central place together where all of the other people were.

As they were in transit, Ricky filled everyone in about what was going on. This included Tina and the

combined members of the Dahlia and the Manor Palace.

Ricky tried to stop them from entering the devil king's graveyard haphazardly, in spite of the power that

they possessed. He warned all of them about the dangers of entering the graveyard.

Most warriors at the first or second grade of Bone Reinforcement wouldn't stand a chance of the devil

king's inheritance. It was also believed that even warriors at the top grade of Bone Reinforcement

would just risk their lives for the inheritance.

The warriors were misinformed. They were not aware about the fact that the inheritance from the devil

king was worthless and would not, in any manner, help them with their cultivation.

Just like what Royce mentioned, even if there were some treasures located in the graveyard, it was still

too dangerous for anyone.

But most warriors turned a deaf ear to what Ricky was trying to explain. They were all too enchanted

about the thought that of the devil king's inheritance.

But unlike most of them who ignored Ricky's warnings, some warriors still took Ricky's advice and

listened.

Two of them were Bastian and Trent who Ricky cared the most among the other warriors. He was just

so relieved and thankful at the fact that the two actually took his advice and decided not to enter the

graveyard. Otherwise, he might have to expose his Chaotic Fire Zone to save them from the

catastrophe.

Ricky could only do so much as to wish the others who didn't believe him a good luck. He found it

impossible to save them all from their decisions.

It was not that long before they reached the central place.

But when they had arrived there, things had changed remarkably--the evil spirit was thicker and more

condensed as it covered the whole place like a thick blanket. Its destructive force made the warriors

defend themselves with the use of a more intense Light Apperception skill.

The area that it covered was so unimaginable, as wide as tens of thousands of miles around the central

place. It created a massive entrance in the middle as it eroded and collapsed the ground where the evil

spirit was released.

The entrance was in the shape of the devil king's gnarly mouth, opened to its maximum with its

numerous sharp teeth exposed ready as if it were a massive black hole. It came to Ricky's attention,

however, that this was most certainly the entrance to the devil king's graveyard.

Ricky came closer to the entrance of the graveyard. The atmosphere had a strange touch to it, like he

could feel the immense power of an array around the entrance.

'It seems to me that this could be the remaining power of the array that is used to lock up the

graveyard, ' Ricky thought to himself.

But as he started to put his foot into the entrance, the innate spiritual king of the Endless Shadow

revealed himself with his battalion.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the bastard and the beast! You two are finally here! Now, face me and my

squad. Give us all you got and I might consider leaving your shitty corpses intact!" the spiritual king of

the Endless Shadow growled in anger when he saw Ricky and Soar.

Then, he lifted his arms and waved them around as he gathered his strength in preparation for a violent

attack against the two.

Rushed footsteps were heard as Tina swooped right in front of Ricky and Soar to block the impending

attack and said, "Yates! Try me if you want a miserable death,"

Yates, the spiritual king of the Endless Shadow, stopped and glared at Tina with utmost ferocity.

"You must be kidding me, Tina. You'd better pray that you still have much power of the completed

spiritual king or you would die in a much uglier way than these two knuckleheads," Yates exclaimed as

he exploded in anger.

But deep inside, Yates knew better not to mess with Tina because he had learned his lesson before.

"That's something you don't need to worry about," Tina commanded.

Angry as Yates was, his priority was the graveyard instead of Ricky and the others. He then ordered all

the warriors and the six demi-immortals to enter the graveyard.

The warriors followed with blind eyes for they were very eager to do it even without Yates' influence on

them.

Seeing all of their greedy eyes hungry for power, Yates smiled with wicked excitement and satisfaction.
