The giant golden shadow loomed over the whole blood-stained battle ring. This golden power was like
an ocean surging with powerful currents, and from within the golden shadow, seven large lion heads
the size of a mountain popped out.
The first impressions the seven lion heads made could be summed up in three words—fearsome,
deadly, and ruthless. The Seven-headed Golden Lion seemed to have enough power to rule the whole
world.
And then, the seven loud sounds earlier during the fight became more intense and long-lasting, making
Ricky's ears ring painfully.
"It's really rather powerful!" Ricky yelled out in surprise.
"Humph! What's so special about that? The Nine-headed Golden Lion is mightier and more
domineering!" the Dragon Intent Grass commented as he looked unimpressed. "It was said that when
the ancestor of the Nine-headed Golden Lion roared, its sound could be heard from every corner of the
earth. It reached the highest heavens to the depths of hell."
"Is it that powerful? Are you sure you're not exaggerating?" Ricky murmured.
He didn't have the luxury to think that far, though, as his enemy right now was Lionel. He needed to
focus on the here-and-now.
Due to Lionel's roar, many geniuses on the other battle rings far from the third floor turned to look at
them. They were shocked when they saw that Ricky had forced Lionel to unleash his beast form.
'He is so powerful that he forced Lionel to show his beast form,' Sumner and Mona thought in shock.
Meanwhile, Ashley and Raylan looked grim and slightly anxious. The truth was they were somewhat
intimidated by Ricky, whether they wanted to admit it or not.
'So, you used to be an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. I hope you won't be my opponent. Otherwise,
your miracle will end very soon,' Lundy thought coldly.
Yet, he also knew how jealous he was of Ricky.
No one could keep calm in the face of an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. And most of them tried to
hide their feelings of jealousy, respect, fear, and even submission.
As an ace genius, Lundy was so jealous that he wanted to kill Ricky right then and there.
He hated that he had to share his ace genius's limelight with an incredible demi-spiritual emperor like
Ricky.
"Let's decide the winner by the next move!" Lionel roared. Then, he directed all his strength, including
his blood power into the seven heads.
"Agreed!" Ricky nodded strongly, his eyes burning with fiery determination.
As his eyes lit up, he burst out the Life and Death Mutant and the Massacring Mutant directly.
Lionel was strong enough to make him show some real skills.
"Look! It's the double mutants!" All the people stared in shock at the two mutants, which were twisting
and dancing together in front of them.
"Gosh! Have you ever seen double mutants before?"
At once, doubts and exclaims like that echoed one after another.
Lionel's face grew darker, as his opponent was the one who owned the double mutants. He had
thought that the battle with Ricky would be fun, but now, he found that it was not as easy and
entertaining as he had initially thought. Things had spiraled out of his control.
However, he could not give up. Since their auras had reached their peak state, victory and defeat were
only an arm's width away.
Thus, Lionel emptied his mind of all the fear, anxiety, and doubts he was feeling at that moment. He
gathered his most potent power too. Even though Ricky's double mutants were terrifying, he decided
that he would give this attack his all.
After all, it wouldn't be the end of the world if Ricky defeated him. It would be worse if he backed off
because he was intimidated by the enemy.
Perhaps, a miracle could occur. And if Lionel defeated an opponent with double mutants, it could make
him more famous.
"Ear-splitting Lion Roaring!"
With Lionel's strongest power, his seven golden heads roared unto the sky, and the sound waves they
created swept through the whole blood-red battle ring. The sound waves seemed capable of breaking
the entire Blessing Blood Tower into pieces.
At this point, Ricky was gritting his teeth in pain. He felt like his eardrum was about to explode!
Soon, it was not just his eardrum anymore. His body, flesh, and blood felt like they were all about to
burst open.
He hastily activated his fourth level of Ultimate Golden Body to the limit. Along with that, the two
mutants' power and runes formed a powerful shield that resisted the destructive sound waves.
"Humph! Such an Omnipotent Skill is far weaker than that of the Nine-headed Golden Lion!" the
Dragon Intent Grass commented disdainfully.
"But it is strong enough for me now," Ricky replied.
Meanwhile, eleven heavens suddenly dropped from the sky and over the seven heads. These were the
ninth heavens, the outer heaven and the legendary heaven.
Meanwhile, a bloody zone appeared beneath the seven heads. It was none other than the hell which
held eighteen layers.
There was no doubt that what the Dragon Intent Grass said was accurate. The Omnipotent Skill, Ear-
splitting Lion Roaring, was so powerful that it even reached the topmost parts of heaven and the
deepest parts of hell.
Under such circumstances, the continuous sound wave power turned into thousands of troops and
horses.
These troops all rushed toward Ricky like a cresting wave. Crack!
Suddenly, tiny cracks appeared on Ricky's Ultimate Golden Body, which proved how strong Lionel truly
was.
"Lionel is really tough to defeat. I have to use my most powerful strike now," Ricky said seriously.
His Massacring Sand instantaneously gushed out and turned into hundreds of Massacring Holy
Patterns. With the Life and Death Wings, Ricky collided with the incredible sound wave power.
Boom!
In a flash, the most violent blast swept through the bloody battle ring. The two kinds of golden lights,
while shone like jewels, were locked in a stalemate. However, it only lasted for a moment.
Another deafening sound burst out. The most recent roar sounded even more powerful than a
thousand troops.
In the meantime, another golden power defeated the Seven-headed Golden Lion, and it collapsed on
the bloody battle ring. At the same time, Ricky suppressed all his strength. The winner was finally
determined.
No matter how reluctant he was, Lionel had to admit that he had lost. He was instantly transported out
of the Blessing Blood Tower.
This surprising development shocked the crowd outside, and they were momentarily confused,
shocked, and speechless.
Although they had expected Ricky to win, it was unbelievable that he had won so quickly. This event
taught the audience that Ricky's real strength was so much more than they initially thought.
"It looks like there will be four competitors, not just three!"
"Yes! Now I understand why Edie refused the invitation of the other three. It's because he invited a
formidable helper!"
"It doesn't matter whether Ricky has enough cultivation resources to pay the Wind-Mountain Alliance at
the auction. The alliance will be happy to give him the resources free to please such a genius."
"Anyway, the most important thing is that Lundy wouldn't get a hold of the blood beast. It won't matter if
the other three get it. They are all human beings and won't be much of a threat to us."
"Yes, Lundy is incredibly powerful. If he gets the Blood Beast King, no one in our generation can pose
any threat to him in the future."
The battle continued amid the people's discussion. This time, Ricky appeared in another bloody ring,
and to his surprise, his opponent this time was Sumner.
Seeing that Ricky was his opponent, Sumner shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that I have to give up," he said with a bitter smile. "This is ridiculous. I can't believe that I
invited you to join me. That was such a foolish act. I didn't know you are this powerful that you don't
need to team up with others at all."
"Ha-ha! It was because you didn't know my background. There is no need to feel bad." Ricky smiled.
"Never mind. I don't want to waste my energy anymore. I admit defeat. Good luck in the coming
rounds," Sumner said with a smile.
Ricky disappeared again after Sumner admitted defeat, but this time, he appeared on the second floor.
After a few moments, three more people landed on the second floor as well. They were Lundy, Ashley,
and Raylan.
