CHAPTER 894 OBTAINING THE HEAVENLY MERIDIAN
Buzz!
Several cyan lines started to spread all over Zenith's body. They were actually deeper than those on
Boris', which clearly meant that Zenith's accomplishments in the array deploying were no less impactful
than his.
"Next, I'll show you what a real powerful array looks like!" Zenith said in a cold tone, as the power
continued to rise in his body. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
There was no way he would show Boris any mercy from now on.
Soaring like a huge and wide dragon, the cyan lines reached every extension from Zenith's body.
"Great Array—Five-Dragon Array!"
He let out a thunderous roar as five cyan dragons took over his body. They soon evolved into an array.
Whist the dragons kept roaring, they also absorbed the frosty power through the space.
Surely, the fusion between the frosty and the array powers enhanced the five cyan dragons' fighting
potential.
Filled with overbearing power, the five fierce creatures merged into one as they started to move
towards the enormous cyan pillar.
Boom! The two opposing forces collided furiously, lifting air dust all around, which almost covered up
the surroundings.
The, now, single dragon swiftly craved its claw into the huge cyan column. Under the great force, the
huge pillar started to shatter. There was obviously a huge gap between their strengths then.
Howl!
Satisfied, the dragon instantly slowed down, not before letting out a loud roar. Boris hadn't even had
the chance to react, he had been thoroughly pierced through by the cyan dragon's sharp claw. He then
fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His strength soon abandoned him as well as his face turned deathly pale.
"But how? How is that possible? Your array can't be more powerful than mine. Why is it so powerful?"
Boris growled, angry and frustrated as he was utterly unable to accept his defeat.
"Nothing is impossible! You can deploy arrays. Why can't I do the same?" Zenith responded
indifferently.
"Haven't you said I was merciful? Well, I did fight fair with you. And I tell you what, it was because I was
sure I would win."
Puff! Boris spat out more blood.
Zenith didn't hesitate any longer. He swiftly moved as a saber of ice popped in his hand, directly cutting
off Boris' head.
"We were from the same clan, but there was too much bad blood between us," Zenith said coldly,
watching Boris' corpse fall by his feet.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the momentum on Zenith's body began to increase greatly. Boris had casted a barrier
around his heart. When he died, the barrier automatically lifted, promptly improving Zenith's state of
mind.
Along with it, his domain and power also kept rapidly growing.
Even if it was unlikely to become a completed spiritual king at peak state in such a short time, he could
feel he was almost there now.
'It seems that the chief's mind and power had been suppressed by Boris and the Snow Sect, ' Ricky
thought to himself.
'Even though the Snow Sect hasn't been rebuilt yet, without the barrier restricting the chief's mind,
there will no longer be an obstacle around his heart.
The world of martial arts will surely get wider for him now.'.
"Chief, you've finally got rid of the barrier in your mind!" Ricky exclaimed when Zenith finally made the
breakthrough.
Along with Ricky's words and admiration, Cheryl and the others also went to congratulate Zenith.
As soon as all the praises had been respectfully delivered, everyone's attention drifted to Vernon, who
was still there.
"You...you can't kill me. The first disciple of the Southern Array Sect is now in a secret land. If you kill
me, he'll make your lives a living hell!" Vernon threatened them, trembling with fear.
"Secret land? Southern Array Sect?" Ricky repeated in a low voice.
"Let me guess...This secret land the first disciple of your sect is at is called the Divine Manor, isn't it?"
"How...how do you know that?" Vernon couldn't help but cry out astonished upon Ricky's inference.
"Because I've just left there. I don't know if you're aware, but only one side of people can come out
from the Divine Manor, which means the first disciple of your sect..." Ricky trailed off with a wicked
smile on his face.
"No...no! You are lying! That's impossible!" Vernon was on the verge of going crazy with despair.
"Nothing is impossible." Ricky gave him a crooked smile just before condensing a sharp arrow on his
index finger and shoot it straight between Vernon's eyebrows.
Mercilessly, Ricky hadn't hesitated killing Vernon right then and there.
However, as Ricky's actions tended to be purposeful, this time was no different. There was something
in Vernon's spiritual meridian he wanted. Pearl had told him that Vernon possessed the Heavenly
Meridian.
And Ricky would never leave such a precious thing behind for someone else to take.
Holding that in mind, he quickly pulled out the Heavenly Meridian from Vernon.
"I finally got it, the Heavenly Meridian!" Ricky said to himself.
Taking someone's Heavenly Meridian wasn't right and Ricky knew it, especially since he had cultivated
the Justice Skill.
Yet he would not be constrained by a sort of morality that simply didn't belong to his nature.
He had justice in his heart; however, not the merciful kind. .
"Chief, and everyone, I'll take the Heavenly Meridian," Ricky politely informed Zenith and the others.
One of Ricky's qualities was that he wasn't a hypocrite. If he needed something, he wouldn't decline it
out of modesty.
"Ricky, you saved all of our lives. Of course you should take the Heavenly Meridian," Zenith answered
with a smile. "And to be honest, the chance of any of us becoming a spiritual emperor is really low."
"Yes, don't hesitate, Ricky. You should start fusing the Heavenly Meridian with your body now," Pearl This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
said.
"Thank you. But it'll take me several days to merge with the Heavenly Meridian. Can you wait for me
until then?" Ricky asked, somewhat impatient.
"Of course. We also need some time to rest after being chased by Vernon and the people from the
Great Evil Dynasty." Zenith nodded.
Without hesitation, Ricky then created the Devourer Zone and released the Void Tree, so everyone
could cultivate in there.
Soon he was ready to absorb the Heavenly Meridian.
...
'If I absorb the Heavenly Meridian, I should be able to find out the grade of my regained spiritual
meridian, ' Ricky thought.
He was really anxious to know more about his regained spiritual meridian. He had a feeling it wasn't
just a holy meridian, but maybe a sacred one. Nobody had ever seen a sacred meridian, though. As far
as it was concerned, it only existed in legends.
"If only it is the legendary sacred meridian!"
Ricky was really excited about the hypothesis.
Then, Ricky pulled himself together and led the Heavenly Meridian into his Soul Sea. He was
completely focused on integrating it with his regained spiritual meridian.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened. As the two meridians approached each other,
Ricky's regained one unleashed its power in order to stop the merging altogether.
"What happened? Pearl said when she merged her meridian with the Heavenly Meridian, they behaved
friendly. So why is mine resisting it?" Ricky asked extremely puzzled.
