CHAPTER 529 DEADLY DOORS

Covered by the first level of Ultimate Golden Body, Ricky emerged, his footsteps loud and thunderous.

Although he was not as big as the gigantic figure behind Ray, his aura and morale were no less than

that of Ray's.

With four runic powers of the Spirit Level, the first level of Ultimate Golden Body and four zones at his

beck and call, Ricky's power was already tantamount to that of a middle spiritual king.

Actually, Ricky knew all along that he could reach this level of power in just three months, and it was

exactly the reason why he dared to accept Ray's challenge back then. It was a good motivation to

improve himself. If, at that time, he had any hint of self-doubts and thought he could not advance with

his practice at this speed, he would not have agreed to it at all. But Ricky knew himself and how far he

could go, and he was happy to prove that he was right about himself.

"Damn! Damn you to hell!" Ray screamed, fury blazing like magma in his eyes. He was tremendously

close to losing his mind. He glared at Ricky with viciousness similar to a devil hungry for flesh, which

made onlookers shudder violently with fear.

"Ray, if this is the best that you can do, I am afraid you will not be able to take my life after all," Ricky

said with a light smirk as four runic powers poured out from the space.

"Or is the so-called genius of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce just so-so, nothing but a good

name and a pretty face?

If you keep this up, I will be able to kill you in a snap, like a mere child's play,"

Ricky said, trying to infuriate Ray so that he might lose his cool judgment and mental balance.

Ray was not like this earlier as he hadn't been taunted and mocked yet. He was cool and level-headed,

and Ricky, at the time, thought that Ray could never come close to the state of losing his control.

However, Ray was now on the brink of completely losing his mind, and further antagonizing him could

send him into a hysterical fit, which would give Ricky more chances to come out as victorious from this

battle.

"Just die!" Ricky's strategy worked as Ray suddenly burst into fits of anger, which further disrupted his

aura and circulation of energy. Ricky grinned in satisfaction when Ray's power output became even

more unstable.

Like a savage beast, Ray finally lost control and sank into madness.

Seeing his mental collapse, many warriors and demi-spiritual emperors shook their heads in

disapproval. If Ray was not able to keep his head straight and continue to descend further into insanity,

he would no doubt lose this battle.

As it was, Ray and Ricky were neck and neck in terms of their strength and power, so there was no

room for error for either of them. One misstep, even the smallest one, would cost them their victory.

And the gravest mistake that they could ever commit was losing their mental balance.

Right now, Ray was making this very mistake as he gave in to Ricky's jabs and let anger get the best of

him. It was only a matter of time before he lost. The seasoned warriors already determined that this

fight was over as Ray's fatal mistake threw away his last chance of ever winning this battle.

Now, the only variable that could turn things around was Ray's kill shot which the Luxurious Chamber

of Commerce prepared for him. If that could somehow work, then Ray would still have a chance to gain

the upper hand.

The three demi-spiritual emperors of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce suddenly looked sullen,

their lips pulled into a tight frown. In their minds, they were disappointed as Ray's performance was not

even close to what they had expected.

'I would love to see what the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce has in store for me, ' Ricky thought,

already considering Ray as a lost cause and therefore not deserving to be seen as his equal.

However, something unexpected happened as Ray, who had been in a state of rage moments ago,

suddenly took deep breaths to calm down and regained his composure. In a beat, his confidence

returned and he seemed to be back to his state at the start of the battle.

"Ricky, your strategy of disturbing my inner peace is quite smart, I give you that. You almost made me

completely lose my mind. But unfortunately, I am no ordinary genius and I have successfully regained

my balance. This will not work on me again," Ray said with a frightening calmness despite the

murderous intent visible in his eyes.

The audience watched in shock, unable to believe Ray's sudden transformation. No one expected him

to quickly adjust and regain his control.

Satisfied at the sudden turn of events, the three demi-spiritual emperors of the Luxurious Chamber of

Commerce, along with the others who had a close working relationship with them, nodded with

approval.

'He is truly a tough one. After all, he is still a genius of a spiritual-emperor force, so it is not a surprise

that it would not be easy for me to crack his mind, ' Ricky thought in frustration. He had come so close.

It was a pity that his strategy did not work.

What was worse was that his strategy would have been counterproductive had Ray seen right through

it. In that case, Ray would be more confident and more determined than he had been before, and this

was exactly what had happened now.

"Did I just dig my own grave?" Ricky murmured to himself, letting out a bitter smile. He shook the

negative thoughts away and fixed his eyes on Ray, the desire to fight still burning in his eyes. He

needed to win this, so there was no way he'd allow himself to wallow in doubts and regrets.

If anything, Ray's strong mental power fired up his desire to fight and conquer even more.

"I have never thought that you could recover from this. I have to admit I underestimated you," Ricky

admitted as he looked straight into Ray's murderous eyes. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ray clenched his fists. "I am going to make you pay for what you have done to me," he warned with

venom in his voice.

"Blood Power Fusion!" Ray suddenly shouted, and the gigantic black figure instantly shrank and fused

with his body.

Everyone watched with bated breaths as they sensed Ray's sudden change.

Instantly, his unstable aura consolidated in a flash. His Gloomy Enlightenment then turned into the

Death Enlightenment.

"Spiritual emperor's blood power. What a unique advantage!" Ricky said, envy pricking his heart.

He glowered as Ray's power had gone even more powerful than before.

"Death Enlightenment—Death Door!" Fast as a lightning, Ray jumped into the air with marks appearing

on his blackened hands. The Death Enlightenment began to ooze out of these marks like a heavy

smoke.

The intense Death Enlightenment suddenly morphed into a gigantic black door in the middle of the air.

Grotesque and devilish faces appeared on its surface, oozing more purified Death Enlightenment.

The giant door slid through and left pieces of spaces in its wake, crashing down like an avalanche on

Ricky.

"Massacring Omnipotent Skill—Massacring Golden Palm!" Seeing the incoming giant door, without

hesitation, Ricky instantly struck out his palm, which harbored the power of the golden body fused with

massacring runes.

Boom! The giant black door collided against Ricky's palm, sending endless airwaves in all directions

and shattering the space.

Two figures were thrown out in opposite directions by the shock wave, leaving trails in the air.

However, neither of them stopped to rest; instead, they dashed toward each other, determination and

conviction etched on their faces, each eager to best the other.

"Death Door—Dual Deadly Doors." Endless Death Enlightenment once again covered the entire area

as Ray released all of his powers.

"Massacring Omnipotent Skill—Impregnable Killing Finger!" Ricky also shouted and jumped into the air

to take on Ray's attack.

Instantly, two black giant doors clashed with ten giant golden fingers, sending more endless powerful

waves rippling through the air. It was still a tie.

"Take this!" Ray shouted and made his move regardless of the wounds he had sustained during the

previous two clashes. "Death Door—Triple Deadly Doors!"

"Then it is your turn to take this!" Ricky, too, had no care for his sustained wounds. His strong desire to

fight took over his entire body, burning and coiling wildly, and the power of the gale runes instantly went

alive and surged like a raging river.

"Gale Enlightenment—Gale Strike!"

Ricky folded his arms, and the power of the gale runes materialized in the form of four daggers, darting

straight toward his opponent.

Within seconds, two forces clashed for the third time.
