CHAPTER 948 FIRST FIGHT AGAINST A DEMI-SPIRITUAL EMPEROR

"The leader of the Shark Palace has a son named Hyatt. Apparently, Hyatt is a major hall leader of the

Shark Palace," Hugh reported. "Although I haven't met him in person before, I think that he must be the

hall leader who is currently in front of us.

I asked some people on their thoughts about him. According to them, he is nothing but shameless and

vicious!

In fact, he has set up a rule that all the creatures who come to the sea areas of the Shark Palace would

be his prey. Of course, this rule only applies to the creatures from forces that were weaker than the

Shark Palace.

As for such prey, he will surely hunt them. He would shoot arrows towards them. If the unfortunate prey

is hit by the arrow, his life would be in Hyatt's hands. On the other hand, if the prey is so lucky as to

dodge the arrow, then Hyatt would let him go."

"I can't see any fairness to it. That is such an arbitrary and unfair rule," Ricky said monotonously.

"But I must say that Hyatt imposes and follows his strict rules. In fact, he actually let those who

escaped his arrows leave here and did not hunt after them secretly," confirmed Hugh.

"What can I say? Maybe he is too arrogant to take back his words. All he wants is to retain his dignity,"

Ricky responded. "Both evil creatures and righteous creatures care very much about the promises that

they have sworn and made. However, abiding by them or not will be their prerogative."

"In that case, Hyatt must have already found us long ago! Otherwise, he would have not attacked us

directly without asking any question first!" Hugh realized. "After all, there are a lot of forces in this sea

area that are stronger than the Shark Palace."

"I can feel the scent of the continents from your breaths. It is very obvious that you humans are from

the continent. You should have figured out the rules before you decided to come here," Hyatt said

gravely as he stood in midair.

Hyatt was tall. In fact, he was about one head taller than the rest of the members of the Shark Palace.

He was handsome and had a muscular body, except for his ears and teeth which were different from

those of regular human beings.

"Unfortunately, at this point, it seems that you have already given up the chance to survive.

However, I also have another hobby. This hobby involves making slaves out of the creatures from the

continent. In this way, all of you can stay alive."

"Maybe some would follow your rules blindly. However, don't expect us to do the same for we don't

have the slightest interest in abiding by your ridiculous rules," Ricky replied with firmness in his voice.

"Get out of the way, or you'll become roasted in an instant!"

"Ha-ha, since when have humans from the continent become so arrogant? I never thought I would live

to see the day they become so full of themselves!" Hyatt could not help but burst into laughter upon

hearing Ricky's comment. But soon, his laughs were coupled with fury and strong killing intent.

In Hyatt's opinion, humans from the continent should never dare act smugly in the sea area even if

there was a spiritual emperor just behind them.

Just as his voice trailed off, he stretched out his right hand. Right away, one of his men handed him a

spiritual weapon in the form of a bow and gently placed it on his right hand.

Aiming at Ricky, he condensed the unique but incomplete ruling power of a demi-spiritual emperor to

the arrow and shot it towards Ricky's direction. However, since Hyatt was merely an ordinary demi-

spiritual emperor, his incomplete ruling power was still at the preliminary stage.

Being a sea creature, he was used to cultivating water enlightenment and water ruling power.

With the incomplete ruling power, the energy of the water encircled the arrow which then evolved into

the shadow of a black shark.

On the other hand, this arrow was just a casual attack from Hyatt. But Ricky knew better than to

underestimate it. After all, he still didn't know if he could defeat an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor.

Even though demi-spiritual emperors were still inside the spiritual king realm, they were apparently

much stronger than spiritual kings in a general sense. Nevertheless, there were qualitative differences

between enlightenment and incomplete ruling power.

However, it was clear to Ricky that his strength had exceeded that of a completed spiritual king even

though he was not an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor yet. He needed only the incomplete ruling power

in order to become an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor.

'I wonder if my five types of runes will be able to withstand this incomplete ruling power, ' Ricky thought

to himself.

Just like water could suppress fire, flame could suppress water too. Ricky burst out his chaotic fire

runes in an attempt to dodge the arrow, intending for a collision with the flame fist.

Bang! The sound of colliding metals filled the atmosphere as Ricky was hit by the arrow. There was a

shallow and slight blood stain on his fist, which was hardly anything like a wound.

Meanwhile, the arrow's track had suddenly changed.

Despite the fact that Ricky was at a disadvantage in terms of realm, he had already proven to himself

that he was capable of competing against a demi-spiritual emperor.

This would not be possible if it weren't for his five zones. Ricky looked at these five zones as his

greatest trump card that he could use to challenge someone superior to him.

'Wish me luck. This is my first fight against a demi-spiritual emperor, ' Ricky thought to himself

excitedly. Now that he had the strength of a demi-spiritual emperor, he was finally qualified to access

the real spiritual emperor realm.

Thinking of these things gave him his much needed fighting spirit in order to achieve his goal.

To his surprise, Hyatt saw how Ricky unexpectedly resisted his arrow. Being spared, Ricky gained

more confidence now that his life would not be in the hands of Hyatt. But this was bad news for Hyatt.

More and more blood boiled out of sheer anger inside his body. Due to his fury and killing intent, the

sea water in this area began to surge violently.

"You seem to have no idea that even if you continue to do this, death will be waiting for you at the finish

line," Hyatt growled angrily.

"Hugh, please step back with others. Let me use this Black King Shark to test the power that I have

obtained by breaking through during the past few days," Ricky scowled.

"Ricky, be careful! It is obvious that Hyatt has broken through and been a demi-spiritual emperor for a

long time," Hugh warned.

"Don't worry. I might not be able to defeat him right now, but as long as he is not an lower-grade demi-

spiritual emperor yet, he won't be able to kill me, either," Ricky responded with overflowing confidence.

"How arrogant of you!" Hearing Ricky's words, Hyatt grew even more furious than he already was.

"Go to hell! Shark Waterfall!"

Hyatt commanded. Upon activating his power, the surging sea waves around him immediately formed

columns, on which the shadows of Black King Sharks appeared and roared ferociously.

Afterwards, they formed into great Shark Waterfalls that streamed from all directions, but all united to

strike towards Ricky.

This grand move was nothing but Hyatt's way of demonstrating his superb power.

Seeing this, Ricky took a step forward and let out a yell signaling that he was ready for the battle.

"Flame Torrent, change the torrent into columns!" Ricky roared as his eyes burned with scorching

flames. Meanwhile, the chaotic fire runes evolved into nine passages in total. In these passages, the

flames rolled and surged uncontrollably.

As a result, nine flames exploded from Ricky, all aiming to crash fiercely with the Shark Waterfall that This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

came from every direction.

It was known that water and fire were incompatible. In fact, such collision of the two elements naturally

led to destruction. When water and fire were mixed, the most violent power would be produced.

After crashing into one another, Ricky and Hyatt both flew back from the impact.

However, Hyatt retreated slowly. Meanwhile, Ricky, being the disadvantaged warrior, retreated as

heavily as he could.

But that explosion was enough to make Hyatt's face extremely clouded.

'Things are getting pretty hot. Although I have the strength of a demi-spiritual emperor, my power

seems to be the weakest among all demi-spiritual emperors, ' Ricky thought and assessed the

situation.

It was only after experiencing this collision that he realized the limits of his strength.

'Now, I have no choice but to try the chaotic power. I think it's better that I don't use the third level of

Ultimate Golden Body for the time being. After all, many people know that it is my signature skill. I'm

just afraid that someone might recognize me if I use it, ' Ricky thought to himself as he thought of his

next plan.

"What a human! You didn't fail to surprise me. But if that's all the strength you have, then death will

surely greet you in the end," Hyatt said with disdain, his face ferocious. Suddenly, he activated his

incomplete ruling power.

His wrath did not stop there for he was only getting started. This time, he was going to take it seriously.
