The legendary warrior

Chapter 1246 Four Statues

The fight raged on. Ricky and Mordechai went all out, giving every attack their best. Each time they sustained severe injuries, Ricky would use the life and death runes and the Life and Death Fire to help him and Mordechai recover. They fought the two statues valiantly.

Half a day later, the duo was on the verge of death. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit had eroded them through the wounds. They could barely think straight, and they could not form cohesive thoughts.

Mordechai was so weak that staying upright had become a struggle for him. "Ricky, this is on me. I've dragged you into this mess. I shouldn't have brought you here," he murmured, gathering his remaining strength to speak through telepathy.

"Ha-ha! What are you talking about? Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault," Ricky responded.

At the same time, he released his mind to cover Mordechai, ready to enter the zone with him.

Ricky and Mordechai had both tried their best, but they still couldn't win the battle. Ricky had lost the urge to fight and decided to enter the zone. He didn't want them to be killed because of his sheer stubbornness.

"It's time to end this thing," Chris said abruptly. He looked down on Ricky and Mordechai disdainfully. "You losers, now you will die in despair and fear. This is the consequence of crossing me."

However, he didn't know that he would never be able to strike fear into the duo's hearts.

Chris clapped his hands, and he controlled the two statues to unleash their all strength. He planned to use them to dispose of Ricky and Mordechai in one blow.

The two statues responded to Chris' command. They jumped up and floated above Ricky and Mordechai. The duo was doomed to die if they did not enter the zone.

Ricky poised himself to bring Mordechai into the zone. However, something unexpected happened.

The two statues had stopped in their tracks. They stood still, and instead, they absorbed the blood which belonged to Ricky and Mordechai. Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body and Mordechai's Sorcerous Combat Body vibrated in response to the two statues' actions.

Ricky and Mordechai wondered what was going on. They were bewildered at what was happening. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After absorbing all the blood on them, the originally dark statues glowed. One emitted the golden light, while the other gave off the reddish-yellow light.

Chris was taken aback by the scene unfolding before his eyes. "This can't be happening. They are supposed to be eroded by the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit. What the hell is going on?" he exclaimed, gaping at the two glowing statues.

Panicked, he clapped his hands again in an attempt to get control of the statues. Much to his shock and disappointment, he could no longer manipulate them.

Ricky and Mordechai had also been taken by great surprise.

However, they came to a realization immediately. 'I guess the two statues have not fallen under the control of the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit completely. Otherwise, we would not have resonated with them," they thought.

"Perhaps this is a good opportunity for us," Mordechai said. "But we have no strength left to fight."

"That is not a problem. I will help you get your strength back," Ricky responded.

"Resurrection!"

After saying that, Ricky immediately performed his Omnipotent Skill—Resurrection, to help him and Mordechai get back to their peak states. However, this came with a price—Ricky's lifespan.

The Omnipotent Skill worked well. In no time, Ricky and his companion had regained their strength. He had a feeling that it just cost him about a thousand years of his life to activate the skill. Plus the lifespan he had lost the last time he performed the Resurrection, he had already lost over one thousand and five hundred years of his life in total.

Fortunately, the creatures at the Emperor Level could live at least tens of thousands of years. Ricky was at that level, and he was less than a hundred years old now. So, losing those years of his life did not seem like a big deal to him.

Moreover, he knew that he would willingly give up more years for the primitive cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body.

Once he became a saint, he would be able to live much longer.

"What an incredible Omnipotent Skill!" Mordechai remarked. He had gotten his strength back in an instant, and he felt like he had been renewed. His admiration and gratitude for Ricky had deepened in those moments.

"How could this be possible?" Chris was shaken up upon seeing the two dying men recover in the blink of an eye.

Chris regretted his actions now.

At this point, the two statues were totally out of his control. Ricky and Mordechai healed themselves. He was clearly at a disadvantage.

He regretted that he didn't kill Ricky and Mordechai when he had the chance.

"You are arrogant, and you look down on us. That's how you got yourself into such an embarrassing situation," Ricky said, looking at Chris. He had a sly glint in his eye. "You creatures of the devil race shouldn't have underestimated our primitive cultivation methods."

Ricky and Mordechai planned to bring Chris down now. They decided to eliminate him and remove all chances of him surviving this battle.

"Dream on!" Chris shouted. Then, four drops of blood essence oozed out from the center of his eyebrows and fell on the two statues.

Almost instantly, the light emitted by the two statues faded away.

"The primitive cultivation methods are more important. We need to get our hands on them first," Mordechai said after thinking for a while.

"You got it!" Ricky responded, nodding.

Wasting no time, Ricky activated the Ultimate Golden Body while Mordechai activated his Sorcerous Combat Body to their extremes. They were doing this to awaken the two statues. Ricky released four drops of his blood essence to awaken the statue corresponding to the primitive cultivation methods of the Ultimate Golden Body, and Mordechai released four drops of his blood essence to awaken the primitive cultivation method corresponding to the Sorcerous Combat Body.

They intertwined with the two statues. In no time, two types of force appeared on the statues. On one statue, the golden energy collided with the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit. On the other statue, the reddish- yellow energy collided with the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit.

Now, both sides were fighting for control over the two statues.

It was like a tug-of-war. It was a battle of strength and willpower. The one who didn't give up would win the two statues.

As time went by, the two energies on the statues constantly increased.

Suddenly, the two energies exploded.

The two statues exploded and divided into four.

Two of them were corresponding to the cultivation methods of the Ultimate Golden Body. Among the two, one of them emitted bright, golden light, while the other looked blood-dark and evil.

The other two were corresponding to the cultivation methods of the Sorcerous Combat Body. Among them, one was reddish-yellow and gave off a violent aura, while the other was blood-dark and exuded an evil aura.

Ricky, Mordechai and Chris all stared at the scene in bewilderment. They were absolutely dumbfounded at what was happening.

Once the three of them had recovered from the shock, they realized that the two statues had divided into four.

Although the statues had not been taken over by the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit, most of them had been eroded by it.

But deep inside, the essence of the two statues which corresponded to the real primitive cultivation methods still remained. But they were suppressed because of the Infant Ancestry Evil Spirit and Chris' presence.

Since Ricky and Mordechai had both resonated with the essence of the two statues. The two statues' essence was awakened and thus broken free from the original statues and manifested themselves into

new ones.

In other words, the two new statues were actually the real primitive cultivation methods.

The new statues might have lost some of their powers, but Ricky and Mordechai didn't care about that.

What mattered was they were going to get them after all. They looked at one another, bursting with excitement. "These two new statues are the real primitive cultivation methods!"

Since their blood essence had integrated with the primitive cultivation methods, the pair were connected to them.

Without any hesitation, the two of them communicated with them using their minds. In no time, the two primitive cultivation methods integrated with their bodies.

Of course, this was only the first step.
