CHAPTER 920 THE MAZE AND THE UPSTREAM WATER
"Ha-ha, you are right.
We can only fight with each other. This is the first and last fight between us. If we can kill all your
geniuses here, the future of Oriental College is finished." Alden laughed.
"In that case, no force in the entire Eastern Land will be able to counter our Nether Manor."
"It totally depends on your strength, Alden. I heard that you have a deep understanding of the evil spirit.
Show me what you got today!" Jasper challenged him in turn upon hearing the provocative words from
Alden.
Boom! Immediately after he finished his sentence, their momentum rose like two strong hurricanes
arising from nowhere.
At the moment when the storm swept, their movements were as fast as the wind and as strong as fire.
Jasper was surrounded by the Eight-Diagram Enlightenment, while the evil spirit was surging around
Alden. Alden represented the purest killing intention. It felt almost as if the true devils were descending,
and everything would be destroyed with a single punch.
Boom!
The next moment, Alden's fist clasped with Jasper's palm. The violent impact swept through the
airwaves making ripples and radiated towards all directions, shaking the space and the people around.
Thump!
Strongly hit by the intense energy, both Jasper and Alden retreated. The fire in their eyes calmed down
and both of them became solemn.
"The power of Eight Diagrams. I can't believe you could cultivate such power," Alden said coldly but
one could see he was lost in thought at the display of Jasper's power.
"You must have known it for a long time, am I right? Or you must be clear about the power of any
genius in our Oriental College. Otherwise, how can you hunt us?" Jasper sneered back at him.
"Cut the crap. Let's compete with each other to prove who is better right now in this Holy Herbal
Garden. Let's see who goes down, the Nether Manor or our Oriental College!"
"As you wish!" At this moment, Alden also started to look serious. He was filled with fighting spirit.
"Fight!"
Following Alden's command, all the creatures behind him started attacking. This would definitely be a
bloody slaughter.
"Ricky, Killer No. 1 is in your hands now. I'm afraid that only you, who has practiced the chaotic power,
can resist his power," Jasper told Ricky telepathically.
"Don't worry, Jasper. We won't lose this battle. You and I, in fact, all of us, would not allow defeat to
happen," Ricky answered, his voice full of firm determination.
The momentum of both sides, at this moment, reached their limits. When they were still, nothing
happened; when they started to move, the world trembled.
The moment when the murderous spirit reached the extreme, it was the time for killing.
Boom!
But just then, after a loud rumble, the ground collapsed and the space broke. A powerful force
pervaded and enveloped the whole area. Those broken palaces and houses were gathered together.
It was absolutely impossible for them to resist this kind of power.
All the creatures were shocked. Such a change was hard to believe for everybody.
Under the spell of this power, they suddenly lost their consciousness and fell into a coma.
....
When Ricky woke up again, he found himself in a passage. Though the passage was not very
spacious, it was certainly enough for two people to fight in.
The same power that had knocked them into a coma before covered the walls of the passage. This
power also contained the chaotic power. Even if Ricky unleashed his chaotic power to attack the walls,
it was impossible to blow them down.
'Is there really any inheritance here?' This was Ricky's first thought.
However, what immediately attracted his attention was the water under his feet.
The water was like a creamy white liquid. Though it was not very deep, it was just enough to submerge
his feet.
But that was not the point. The point was that he felt pure energy in the flowing water.
Ricky tried to imbibe the energy from the flowing water. When he absorbed it, he faintly felt that his
strength was increasing and that this energy had impalpably strengthened his body and bones.
Although the energy was faint and minute, with the five zones within him, he could clearly feel it.
"Such ethereal energy exists in this water!" Ricky exclaimed with astonishment.
But he only absorbed a little bit because he had reached the peak state of an upper spiritual king and
his combat power was close to that of a demi-spiritual emperor. If he absorbed more energy, he would
need to make a breakthrough. But in the Heavenly Void, he was unable to make a breakthrough even
though he was not even a completed spiritual king.
"If only I could take this flowing water with me when I leave," Ricky said with longing.
Meanwhile, he was also wondering what this flowing water was.
However, he was more worried about Soar and the others, especially Lori and Sheila. Although they Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
were completed spiritual kings, here their power was far from enough. If they met the people from the
Nether Manor or the Endless Shadow, the resulting consequences were very disheartening to imagine.
Filled with worry, Ricky continued along the direction of the flowing water.
But after walking for more than half a day, he was still in the same passage.
"Is this a maze? How come I can't get out?" Ricky murmured.
"I wonder if the others are also just trapped like me. Hopefully, they are not in any real trouble!" Ricky
prayed in his mind.
"I must get out of here as soon as possible!"
As there was no other way, Ricky kept moving along the flowing water. He thought that since it was
flowing, there must be an end to it!
However, nothing changed as he continued. Half a day later, it seemed that he was still in the same
passage.
He tried to figure out this enigma with his Golden Spirit Eyes, but it was bounced back by the power of
the passage. It was not because his Golden Spirit Eyes were not strong enough, but because his own
strength was not strong enough.
"There has to be some way out!" At this time, Ricky knew he was getting agitated and that he must
calm down.
'There is nothing else in this passage except the flowing water. This flowing water is definitely crucial, '
Ricky thought to himself, now seriously putting his mind to solving this mystery.
So the next moment, Ricky carefully observed the water beneath his feet again. He absorbed the
power and examined with his Golden Spirit Eyes. There was no chaotic power in the water.
On this inspection, Ricky discovered something important.
He discovered that when he was not using his Golden Spirit Eyes, he could see the flowing water going
away from his face. But, when he used his Golden Spirit Eyes, the water seemed to flow in the
opposite direction.
"How come this is happening? This is strange," Ricky thought aloud with apprehension, "Undoubtedly,
what I see with my Golden Spirit Eyes is the truth. That is to say, this water, in fact, is flowing backward
in comparison to what I see with my naked eyes.
Perhaps, there is another power here that is bewitching my eyes.
But this is not the point now. I'll now go in the opposite direction. I think I can get out of the maze by this
logic."
