CHAPTER 606 BREAKING THE RESTRICTION TOGETHER
Now that the toxins in Carley's heart had been suppressed by Ricky's zone power and runic power,
Martin and his sidekicks could no longer locate the exact position of Ricky and his companions. Carley
and Samson couldn't be more grateful for Ricky's help.
Now, Ricky and his companions could go wherever they wanted without having to worry about their
whereabouts being exposed to their enemies.
Meanwhile, somewhere inside the Land of Ghosts, a young man of the Golden Leopard Valley heard
the reproaching tone of Martin, his young master. On impulse, he prepared for the worst scenario and
his thoughts raced to think of a good alibi that would defend himself against the wrath of his master.
"Young master, that is impossible! There is no other way to get rid of the tracking powder other than to
wait until its effect gradually disappears within the 3-month time frame."
The young man shook in fear. Martin and his subordinates knew that the young man was telling the
truth. However, since they could no longer sense the existence of the tracking powder, they had a
strong inkling that the tracking powder inside Carley's and Samson's hearts had already disappeared.
They also realized that somehow, their enemies had found a way to get rid of the tracking powder.
Martin was undoubtedly frustrated and beyond disappointed. "Edward, do you realize the weight of
what you've done? Can you just imagine how this has impacted our plans?" he questioned. His eyes
pierced with fierce dictatorial fury. He was so enraged that he really wanted to kill the man named
Edward right on the spot, whom he had sent to deliver his message to Ricky. He knew that Edward
must have told them about the tracking powder; otherwise, they could not have figured out.
"Young master, I am sorry! I am completely wrong. I shouldn't have told them about the tracking
powder." Edward apologized to Martin as he knelt at once. He was intimidated when he sensed
Martin's fury.
"I know how timid you are. I am also well aware of how back then, you were petrified of being killed by
them, and so you went ahead and spilled the beans about the tracking powder," Martin professed not in
a sympathetic manner, but rather, in a condescending tone. "From now on, Edward, you'd better pray
that Ricky and his cronies will surely arrive at the Birthplace of Ghosts as they have been instructed;
otherwise, I will kill you first as a human sacrifice."
"I see, young master!" Edward said with a shudder as Martin's murderous tone lingered strongly even
after he spoke.
The fear that enveloped him, combined with the crippling animosity that his young master aimed
towards him made Edward regret what he had done. Mentally, he scolded himself, 'Why am I so
stupid? Why did I have to volunteer to be the messenger at that time? If I hadn't in the first place, I
would not be suffering like this now.'
'Ricky, I hope you will be driven by the immense opportunity inside the Birthplace of Ghosts. I also hope
that you will arrive at that area soon. Otherwise, I really don't know where I can find you right now, '
Martin thought to himself with a sigh.
He knew that if Ricky would not have any interest in the Birthplace of Ghosts, it wouldn't help at all
even if he killed Edward.
While Martin and his sidekicks were anxiously guessing whether Ricky and his group would go to the
Birthplace of Ghosts or not, Ricky and his group were at the source of the dark water. Ricky's eyes
were fixed on the three Enlightening Fruits. After three days of waiting patiently, they finally saw that
the fruits had matured completely.
The fact that the three Enlightening Fruits had matured could be seen from the pure enlightening power
being emanated by them.
After catching a whiff of the fruits' fragrance, Ricky and his companions immediately felt a surge of
refreshment. At the same time, the enlightening power in their bodies started to surge. They could not
wait to devour the Enlightening Fruits all at once.
"Next, let's refine these Enlightening Fruits together. After we refine them successfully, that's when we'll This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
meet again with Martin and his group. Perhaps, if luck is on our side, then hopefully that will be the last
time we meet them," Ricky announced and carefully planned.
Upon hearing Ricky's suggestion, they all nodded in agreement.
Immediately and without any hesitation, they picked the three Enlightening Fruits. Next, they moved to
a more remote area where they began the refining process.
While they were busy refining the Enlightening Fruits, their enemies remained concealed in a dark
area.
Somewhere in the dark area, there was an invisible dark zone that had no boundary. A dark, blood-
thirsty and erosive power permeated inside it. It could be said that all the power of the Land of Ghosts
originated from the dark zone.
The surrounding zone between the dark zone and the Land of Ghosts was covered with an invisible
barrier.
The invisible barrier seemed to be absorbing the Dark Enlightenment dispersed in the air. Aside from
that, the barrier likewise seemed to be releasing the Dark Enlightenment into the open air.
It could be seen that there were always black figures coming in and out of the barrier. If you looked
more closely, you would find that the black figures were ghosts, the only entities that resided in that
particularly gloomy zone.
The said dark zone was, in truth, the Birthplace of Ghosts.
It was always floating around in the Land of Ghosts. As such, it was impossible for a living creature to
find it...unless one had extreme luck by their side.
Meanwhile, in the case of Martin's and Ricky's teams, luck was no longer need for it was the Birthplace
of Ghosts that appeared by itself the moment the two teams appeared in the Land of Ghosts.
Both teams were fortunate enough to have the chance to witness it before their very eyes.
As Martin and his men stood at the entrance of the birthplace, they had a small conversation.
"Damn it! This Birthplace of Ghosts is sealed with extremely strong forbidden power. This time, even
two warriors, whose power are close to that of a first-class middle spiritual king, are having difficulties in
trying to break it," Keith angrily divulged.
The black barrier had the power to restrict any kind of living creature from entering the Birthplace of
Ghosts. Only ghosts could move in and out of the barrier freely because the power they possessed
was purely the force of Dark Enlightenment.
This meant that creatures who did not possess Dark Enlightenment must break the forbidden power in
the barrier. The forbidden power of the Birthplace of Ghosts was, in truth, not very strong. Its force was
close to the power of a first-class middle spiritual king.
But this time, for some unknown reason, Martin and Duncan, whose strength was close to a first-class
middle spiritual king, still couldn't break the forbidden power.
Therefore, if they wanted to break the restriction, they had to find another creature whose strength was
close to the power of a first-class upper spiritual king. Once they did, then perhaps, they would finally
be able to break the barrier together.
Unfortunately, Martin and Duncan were not willing to seek help from other people.
As they pondered on the options that they currently had, they all agreed that the best candidate was
Ricky. Their plan was crystal clear: Once they successfully attracted Ricky to the Birthplace of Ghosts
and after they obtained the immense and precious opportunity residing within the said zone, then that
was when they would finally put an end to his life.
"Perhaps this time, the appearance of the Birthplace of Ghosts also means something extraordinary is
about to happen!" Martin said thoughtfully, his eyes full of great expectations for the Birthplace of
Ghosts.
"We still don't know if Ricky will really show up. If he doesn't show up, we have no choice but to leave
the Land of Ghosts for the time being and find another candidate to join us," Duncan said grimly as he
shifted his attention to the black barrier.
Like Martin, he was also looking forward to obtaining the great opportunities that awaited them inside
the Birthplace of Ghosts.
"Ha-ha! It seems that you two are very eager to see me here."
At that very moment, a bright and clear sound rang abruptly and filled their ears. Before they knew it,
six figures showed up one after another. They were Ricky and his friends. After refining the three
Enlightening Fruits, they rushed to the Birthplace of Ghosts by following the map that Edward had left
to them.
Of course, before they showed up, Ricky had already observed and confirmed in secret whether the
Birthplace of Ghosts had really made its appearance. He had to be discreet to make sure Martin didn't
trick them.
"Ricky, you really came here. It seems that even an ace genius like you can't resist the Birthplace of
Ghosts' compelling aura," Martin said in a taunting tone upon seeing Ricky and his companions appear
before them.
He was not surprised by Ricky's sudden appearance as he was 90% sure that the latter would accept
his suggestion since the opportunities inside the Birthplace of Ghosts were just too rare to let it slip
through one's fingers.
"Very funny, but also true! Ace geniuses are living creatures that also need to improve their cultivation
bases. And that's why you are right. We have to seize every opportunity that will help us improve. Now
that the Birthplace of Ghosts is home to great opportunities, how can I miss this?" Ricky responded
loudly as he slowly flew down from where he floated earlier in mid-air.
"Moreover, both of you were truly looking forward to my arrival, right?"
Martin chuckled. "Then Ricky, what do you think about my suggestion?" He wouldn't admit that they
were thrilled by Ricky's appearance. Thus, he replied to Ricky's query with a question of his own.
Martin knew that answering his questions would be useless. He also knew that the only time he and
Ricky could finally battle it out to their deathbeds was after they combined their forces and broke the
dark barrier successfully.
"Since I am here now, I've shown my attitude," Ricky responded. He knew Martin's suggestion was
right. They had to cooperate for the time being.
"Then, please!" Martin said seriously upon hearing Ricky's affirmation.
Terrence then stepped out and paused before the dark barrier.
Martin and Duncan expressed their doubts. "Hmm?" They felt strange. Why did they send out
Terrence? Ricky was their only ideal candidate among their enemies. They were well aware that Ricky
was the strongest one in his group.
"Terrence is the strongest among our team. Naturally, he should be the best choice," Ricky revealed
and laughed.
Martin and Duncan said no more after hearing Ricky's revelation. They too, followed suit and landed
before the dark barrier. Meanwhile, the doubts in their minds would not disappear. They refused to
believe that Ricky was not as good as Terrence.
Bang! Bang!
Martin, Duncan and Terrence all emitted their strongest momentum. Altogether, they released their
power close to a first-class middle spiritual king. Moving in unison, the trio launched their offensives
towards the dark barrier.
