CHAPTER 502 THE DARK POWER
Roar!
The entire area was filled with ferocious roars made by the two giant beasts. Their battle was one
without the use of rules or skills. They fought with each other in the most barbaric way, tearing and
biting with their enlightening powers.
Boom! Boom! As the two beasts struggled and writhed around on the ground, many mountains were
pulverized into dusts by the powerful impact of their bodies. While fighting with Bernard, Soar
intentionally avoided approaching the place where Ricky was cultivating his power in seclusion.
Bernard's most powerful weapons were his sharp claws and the huge fangs that lined his mouth. Soar
had the impregnable body of a Great Dragon, so no beast of the same level was able to do harm to his
body.
Bernard was no exception. His attacks were only able to leave some shallow scratches on Soar's
scales.
Soar was defended by the Heaven Melting Fire, so Bernard tried in vain to attack Soar with his Ruin
Holy Fire.
''Soar has such a powerful body! Bernard can't even break through his defense.'' The surrounding
warriors and spiritual king beasts commented about the scene.
''Who the hell is Soar anyway? I have never seen any creature from the snake tribe that looked quite
like that.''
''There are so many creatures possessing the blood power of the Great Dragon in the world. It's no
wonder that we cannot recognize him.''
...
Bernard couldn't really do any serious damage to Soar. Soar was able to constantly tear Bernard's
body apart with his bloody mouth and robust tail though.
What was worse was that considering the Ruin Holy Fire was no match for the Heaven Melting Fire,
Bernard was at his wits' end and was bound to lose the fight.
After realizing what his odds were, Bernard immediately decided to transform into human form and run
away from the battlefield.
Seeing that Bernard was trying to retreat, Soar gave up on hunting him down. He knew that he could
not kill Bernard even if he was able to overwhelm him.
Meanwhile, he also had a feeling that he was being stared by someone else who had a murderous
intent.
''It turns out you were just boasting about teaching me a lesson. You cannot even break through my
defenses, '' Soar taunted, hovering in the sky as smug as a ruling king.
In that moment, he had also detected where the murderous intent was coming from—it was from Pearl.
'Although Pearl is just a young girl, she is the descendant of a spiritual emperor, so she is indeed
extraordinary. She is strong enough to even make me feel threatened, ' Soar thought to himself, staying
on guard against her.
Bernard felt ashamed and wrathful at Soar's words. He didn't say anything, because it was indisputable
that he had been defeated. A loser's words didn't mean anything to anyone.
Pearl also gestured for Bernard to fall back.
When Louie saw that Bernard had also been defeated, his anger began to die down.
'Humph! You are in no position to judge me. Before the battle, you bragged about what a bad-ass you
were, now you can only run away, ' Louie secretly thought to himself.
Hardy was really gloating at their failures. Louie and Bernard all wanted to be with Pearl. Now that
Bernard and Louie were both defeated, Hardy was more likely to succeed when he tried to woo Pearl.
Meanwhile, he also felt hesitant to challenge Soar.
Soar's strength was beyond doubt. Hardy also knew that he had no chance of defeating Soar, but if he
did not challenge him, Pearl would probably look down on him.
At that moment, Pearl decided to speak, saying, ''I really regret that we gave you the chance to leave
when you came to the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce. The speed of your progression really has me
surprised.''
''Ha-ha. We were your guests, and it's impolite to treat your guests in such a way, '' Soar said, smiling.
Before picking a fight with Pearl, he was trying to buy more time for Ricky.
''Humph! You and Ricky defrauded of me hundreds of millions of gold coins from the Luxurious
Chamber of Commerce. Stop pretending that you're gentlemen!'' Pearl replied coldly after hearing what
Soar said, She was not actually very willing to admit the fact that she had been defrauded, but it was
the only excuse she had that would explain why she was going after Ricky and Soar.
Ricky was a peerless genius. If she had no good reason to go after him, then the Oriental College
would definitely interfere with her plans.
Of course, Pearl would be happy if she could get Ricky to become her ally. If it did not work, then she
would have to kill him.
''What? Did I hear her wrong? Pearl was defrauded of hundreds of millions of gold coins by Ricky? How
was that even possible?'' All the warriors and spiritual king beasts were startled by what Pearl said.
Of all the warriors that were at Pearl's age, they could never get away with messing with her.
''I see. No wonder Pearl was pissed off and ordered so many of her subordinates to hunt Ricky down.''
All the warriors immediately understood her anger.
''It turns out that Ricky has offended Pearl. Pearl is very proud and ignorant, so she will not take his
offense lying down, '' the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King sighed
in comprehension.
''I'm afraid this is not all about the coins though. Even if there is only thirty percent of the ruling power
left in the skeleton, the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce never planned to sell it from the very
beginning, '' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor deduced, as his eyes filled with both suspicion
and interest.
''Ha-ha. It was a fair trade, and we both agreed to it. We did not cheat you. You should blame yourself
for not being prepared for every possibility.'' Soar smiled and continued to speak. ''Besides, you are so
beautiful and attractive, Pearl. Ricky would never cheat on you if you were with him. Instead, he would
only hold you against his chest and give you sweet caresses...''
Boom! Before Soar finished talking, the whole sky above them suddenly darkened. They were
enveloped by the pure darkness, so everyone suddenly felt like doomsday was arriving.
Pearl's robe fluttered and whistled as the strong gale blew through it. The world around her was pitch
dark. Her eyes also became pure black and there seemed to be a dark and terrible fire burning in them.
Pearl suddenly transformed from just a cruel lady to a powerful demon before their eyes.
All the warriors around were frightened and trembled at the scene.
''She has the dark power!'' Seeing the unique power that was released by Pearl, Soar immediately
recognized it and said what it was in a low voice.
Such dark power was extreme rare over all the continents in their world. Even in the domain of devils,
the dark power was something seldom seen. Creatures that cultivated such dark power could
challenge opponents of higher levels, even if they did not have powerful talent or blood power.
It was because the dark power ranked among the top when it came to all kinds of powers in the heaven
and earth.
Heaven and earth were first formed by some sort of primitive power, which then split into the powers of
dark and light.
In other words, the dark power was secondary to the primitive power and only the light power was able
to compete with its strength. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Pearl had higher cultivation level than Soar, and also possessed the blood power of a spiritual emperor
on top of that. Soar knew that he was no match for her.
Solely judging by the momentum released by Pearl, he felt threatened by her. Soar's expression turned
grim. He realized that Pearl was even more powerful than he expected.
''Go to hell!'' Pearl immediately launched her attack.
