Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 1018 The Blood Crystal Zone

"Doesn't this Blood Crystal exist on the continent?” Ricky asked both Tina and the Evil Mandragora. "Yes, you're right. The Blood Crystal doesn't exist on the continent. In fact, it only exists in the Devil Land," the Evil Mandragora replied. "It is so precious that all the creatures on the continent desperately want to get it."

"If it only exists in the Devil Land, then why is it here?" Ricky asked in confusion.

"There are two reasons for that. One is that strong devils left it here. Second, the environment here and the one in the Devil Land are quite similar in a lot of ways, such as the blood and evil spirit flooding this area, hence it is possible to create the Blood Crystal in this environment.”

"According to you, the Blood Crystal is created in the Devil Land. In that case, then why can it also give benefit to the creatures on the continent? Doesn't the Blood Crystal contain the evil spirit? After all, the Blood Crystal is made from the evil spirit and blood," Ricky asked for clarification. "Maybe it's because things are sure to develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. The Blood Crystal formed by the evil spirit and the force of heaven and earth should have the evil spirit. On the contrary, it is quite odd that it doesn't contain any evil spirit at all. Only the purest blood vitality is inside of it."

"So it means that the Blood Crystal can absorb blood and use it to grow. The longer time it takes, the more pure blood it will contain.

Hmm... Did I get it right?” Ricky muttered. "Then, what's the Blood Crystal's immediate effect on its user?"

"Good question. As a matter of fact, the Blood Crystal can make an invisible exchange of blood and activate the blood power!" the Evil Mandragora said. "Aside from that, it can stimulate the blood power of a living creature regardless of its realm or level."

"Can you tell me more about the exchange of blood and stimulation of the blood power?" Ricky asked as he wanted to know more.

"The so-called blood exchange is done to remove the impurities in the creatures’ blood. Since the Blood Crystal has the purest blood in the world, refining the blood will stimulate the best blood power in the body of the living creature.

In instances where a creature's blood power has not awakened, the Blood Crystal will help awaken the blood power."

"What? Did I hear it right? Can it really help a creature awaken its blood power?" Ricky said as he jumped in excitement.

In that case, the Blood Crystal could help Ricky activate the mysterious blood power inside his body. "Hold your horses, Ricky. I know what you are thinking. However, we still don't know if the Blood Crystal is really here. Let's waste no time and head for the pool,” the Evil Mandragora urged. Meanwhile, the path into the Blood Evil Pool became narrower and narrower as they went deeper, forming a tight circular passage. As the passage narrowed, the blood vitality became more intense. "Can you sense it? The blood vitality here is getting more and more intense. The Blood Crystal must be near," the Evil Mandragora said firmly. From her tone, she was clearly excited to see the treasure that awaited them.

After travelling the narrow passage for quite some time, they had finally reached the bottom of the pool. There, the evil spirit exuded such incredible strength that even the spiritual emperor could not resist it.

At that moment, they could not believe their eyes as they saw a blood-red crystal that was about three meters long and two feet wide.

The blood-red crystal appeared to have originated from the darkest hell. Despite this, Ricky and the others didn't feel the bloody strong killing intent because it was the purest blood

The crystal instantly radiated power, absorbing the blood vitality and the evil spirit from the Blood Evil Pool. Soon after, the blood vitality was condensed and refined while the evil spirit was only absorbed and discharged.

This was also the reason why the blood vitality and the evil spirit in the Blood Evil Pool would not be combined.

Considering these things, it was, without a shadow of a doubt, the Blood Crystal.

"Evil Mandragora, it's quite unusual that I can still sense how intense and pure the blood is although we are in the Massacring Zone. I can't believe it. This must be the Blood Crystal!" Ricky exclaimed in glee.

"This is good! Well, not just good, but pretty good! Then believe your eyes, Ricky. This is really it," the Evil Mandragora responded with the same energy.

"Don't just stand there! Let's go and take a closer look at the Blood Crystal together.” The Evil Mandragora invited Ricky to go out right away.

"You'd better go ahead. I still can't endure the evil spirit outside even if I have the Devouring Mutant with me." Ricky declined the Evil Mandragora's offer. Afterwards, he opened the Massacring Zone and let the Evil Mandragora out.

Swish!

As soon as the Evil Mandragora set foot outside of the zone, the Blood Crystal suddenly discharged a myriad of lights that formed a passage and drowned her in an instant. Despite her being a middle spiritual emperor, she still did not see this coming

Right after being swallowed whole, the Evil Mandragora was held captive in the Blood Crystal.

"Evil Mandragora!" Ricky shouted in panic. He didn't even have time to bring the Evil Mandragora back into the Massacring Zone for her safety.

However, even if he had the time, he would still not have made it. This was due to the superior power of the Blood Crystal's blood-red lights over the Evil Mandragora. No matter what she did at that moment, she was bound to be devoured by the overwhelming power of the Blood Crystal. "W...What's going on? Does the Blood Crystal have psychic intelligence?" Ricky whispered as he tried to make sense of what was happening.

"No, the Blood Crystal can't have psychic intelligence,” the Dragon Intent Grass replied. "In that case, I guess there must be an independent space inside the Blood Crystal for this to be possible.” "Ricky, it is very likely that the Evil Mandragora has been absorbed by the space power,” Tina echoed.

"But, is it dangerous inside? Is the Evil Mandragora in danger?” Ricky nervously inquired.

"I don't know, but there's only one way we can make sure of that,” the Dragon Intent Grass said. "Why don't you go in and have a look?"

"Ricky, you can't do that. If it can absorb the Evil Mandragora, then the power inside of it must be very strong. It will be very dangerous if you go. You'd better absorb the Blood Crystal into the Devourer Zone first and then leave this place. We can decide on what to do afterwards after we leave here” Tina suggested.

"Okay!" Ricky agreed. Immediately, he activated the Devourer Zone and formed the Evil Devouring Mouth to devour the Blood Crystal into the Devourer Zone. Despite his effort, he failed, because the power of the blood-red lights on the Blood Crystal was too powerful to agitate them.

"But I can't leave the Evil Mandragora alone. It's too scary there. Who knows what creatures and energies lurk inside of the crystal? I have to go in." Ricky clenched his fist and turned his eyes to Tina.

"Ricky, remember to be careful!” Seeing that Ricky was determined, Tina reminded him of the dangers. After all, she knew that whatever she said, Ricky would still pursue looking for the Evil Mandragora. He would stay true to his word and not break his promise.

"Lad, in the martial world, only a few creatures can be so kind and righteous just like you,” the Dragon Intent Grass sighed as he looked at Ricky with caring eyes.

Soon after, Ricky burst out the power of his five mutants, collecting the chaotic power into his body. He jumped out of the Massacring Zone and went towards the lights. In an instant, he was engulfed by the Blood Crystal.

Feeling a sudden tremble all over his body, he tried his best to stay calm as he made his way to another space.

'What is this place? Everything is blood red: from the space to the sea below..." Ricky thought as he gasped for air. He felt like he was suffocating from the blood's stench.

Aside from the blood sea, the only place where Ricky could stay was probably on the huge blood stones that floated in the air. But these blood stones were not the Blood Crystal; instead they were normal pieces of stones that had been eroded by blood for countless years.

Moreover, he felt the strong power of the array being emitted from the area.

"Is this the space inside the Blood Crystal?" Ricky muttered. Without wasting time, he activated the Golden Spirit Eyes to look for the Evil Mandragora

"Ha-ha, a creature has finally come in! Oh, the Evil Mandragora, here you are! God is with me indeed!" Just then, the sound of a loud laughter caught Ricky's attention.
