Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 699 Golden Pattern Skill

"It seems that you've absorbed a lot of experience from our martial arts. Although this experience might seem useless to you right now, I'm sure it will be of great benefit to you in the future. It will play an important role in the improvement of your cultivation,” the golden shadow stated calmly as he appeared before Ricky.

"So we're moving onto the next cultivation method—the Golden Pattern Skill."

His voice faded away. Without leaving a moment for silence, he immediately clapped his hands and an energetic force erupted from them. The source of massacre started to augment within a second. Mighty rays of golden lightning flashed in the sky before flying into Ricky's mind.

Information entered his mind.

"The Golden Pattern Skill is the cultivation method inherited by those in the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. It is also a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Heaven Level,"

Ricky murmured. A vision of text seemed to appear before him and he read them aloud as they came. "What? It's a cultivation method of the Heaven Level!" He couldn't help the gasp that escaped him as he understood the meaning of those words.

The Heaven Level was the highest level a cultivation method could reach in the Misty South. Except for the Chaos Manual, the Galaxy Saber Skill, a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Earth Level, was the strongest skill in his roster.

Thus, he was dumbfounded upon learning that he was about to acquire a cultivation method at the inferior stage of Heaven Level.

"Since we are a holy tribe, it's natural that our inheritable cultivation method has achieved the Heaven Level." There was another pause. The golden shadow spoke in stilted words, slow and steady as if conversation took effort. "In the following process, you'll need all your concentration to learn methods to refine the Golden Pattern Skill.”

"Yes, sir." Ricky nodded in comprehension as he tried to contain his excitement.

"The massacring power will turn into golden pattern when you concentrate on the refining process..." Ricky murmured to himself as the cultivation method flashed in his head.

The Golden Pattern Skill evolved from massacring power. The latter accumulated inside the user's body until it could generate a powerful golden pattern. The resulting pattern could then take on different forms and structures to attack enemy.

The greater the variety of golden patterns one could make, the more powerful one's skill would be. So, the utmost refinement of the golden patterns was crucial.

There was a tale once that said the man who could complete the Golden Pattern Skill, would then possess a thousand patterns. But when the patriarch of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe practiced this skill, he only gathered a total of seven hundred patterns in his time. Considering this, it was beyond imagination for one to possess one thousand golden patterns.

It took Ricky three days to fully learn about the Golden Pattern Skill.

"When the tribe was buried in the dust and dirt, their only hope was their unique cultivation method. When their cultivation method gets handed down from generation to generation, their spirits will last forever in the world of martial arts,” the golden shadow said in a serious tone after Ricky finished the refining process.

"Since you possess the Massacring Mutant, you have a big advantage over all other creatures when learning massacring power. I hope that you will try your best and acquire one thousand golden patterns in the future.”

"Sir, 1 will try my best. Although this road might be long and fraught with danger, I will make sure the Golden Pattern Skill shines in the world of martial arts one day, no matter the costs!" Ricky firmly replied with a solemn expression on his face.

"That's great. Now that you have grasped the Golden Pattern Skill, my mission is complete.” He hummed in contentment before he continued, "And I've got some good news. I'm glad to hear that the three juniors from the Predatory Holy Ant tribe have begun practicing their martial arts in the ancestral land. It means that they have dropped animosity toward our tribe.

Now I feel much better. I really hope I can atone for the sin of our tribe.”

"Sir, the Massacring Holy Ant tribe did the right thing when they chose to fight the devils. They were great people for whom I have the utmost admiration. Our younger generations will learn from their brave deeds. The traitors were the ones with terrible sins, but they were just a minor part of your tribe. They couldn't represent the entire Massacring Holy Ant tribe,” Ricky stated in a low voice. He looked deeply into the golden shadow's eyes, conveying his determination with a glance.

"Ha-ha. It has never occurred to me that I could be comforted by a junior.” The golden shadow burst into amicable laughter upon hearing Ricky's words.

"The moment you inherited the cultivation method, the ancestral land of our tribe has been put under your control. When you use your mind, the land will integrate into your body." Their eyes met as the shadow continued his explanation

"I have placed everything at your disposal and so, it's time for me to go.”

"Sir, I feel like the burden that's been placed on my shoulders has risen considerably.” A faint smile lingered on Ricky's face as he heard the other's farewell.

"Since you are young and energetic, I'm sure that it's not such a big deal to let you handle those things.” The shadow mimicked his smile. A bit of awkwardness energized the air surrounding them as they waited for his departure.

"Are you going to vanish after your mission is complete?" Ricky asked with a small frown. His voice took on a bitter note as he spoke.

"I'm just a soul left by the patriarch of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. My mission is to pass down the inheritable of the tribe. Since my mission was completed, there is no reason for me to stay here.” The golden shadow paused for a moment and continued, "My death marks the end of an era. Only when I'm gone, can the Massacring Holy Ant tribe from the ancient times become extinct from the world. And a new generation of the Massacring Holy Ant will emerge in the ancestral land again.”

"Is that so?" Ricky gave a heavy sigh. There was a touch of sadness in his voice.

"There is one thing I want to ask you, sir," Ricky asked hurriedly, worried that his companion might disappear in the next second.

"What is it?" With a tilt of his head, the golden shadow asked for a clarification.

"Where can I find the Massacring Soil?" There was a spark in Ricky's eyes as he looked at the shadow expectantly.

Ricky thought that he would be able to acquire the Massacring Soil in the ancestral land of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. But to his surprise, he didn't find even a trace of it. Since there was a link between the Massacring Holy Ant tribe and the Massacring Soil, and the golden shadow was a creature of the former, Ricky assumed that he would know something about the latter.

"Ha-ha. It seems that the Massacring Soil is hard to hunt for, but when you look around carefully, you will be surprised to find that it is just within your reach.” A hint of laughter could be heard from the golden shadows cryptic answer.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Ricky scratched his head in confusion.

"Since the ancestral land of our tribe is under your control now, the Massacring Soil hidden within it will show itself as long as you give the order," the golden shadow replied with a grin.

As his voice faded away, he vanished off the face of the earth. Since his mission was complete, it was time for him to leave.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Ricky said, bowing respectfully in his direction. Sparkling dust particles lingered in the air where he stood, disappearing completely in the next moment.

Lost in thought, Ricky let his eyes roam the land that stretched before him. According to the golden shadow, the Massacring Soil was concealed somewhere here. That assurance served to strengthen Ricky's resolve to find the treasure no matter how difficult it would be. He felt that he was just one step away from attaining the Massacring Soil.

Without wasting another moment, Ricky fused his mind and wishes to the ancestral land. He could feel the warmth of his blood as it flowed through his body in a steady stream. It then oozed from his fingertips, hitting the ground in droplets.

As the dirt absorbed his blood, a tighter bond formed and connected his body with the land. Suddenly, he felt the ancestral land emit a strange aura. Its power caused tremors to reverberate in his body, affecting even his Source of Golden Body as it throbbed in sync with his pulsations. The more intense the aura was, the more violent his Source of Golden Body became.

'Did the strange power come from the Massacring Soil?" Ricky quietly thought to himself as he withstood the enormous pressure that bore down on his being.

Without hesitation, he immediately transferred the original energy of the ancestral land. He set it aside to summon the strange power that activated his Source of Golden Body. Before he could blink, a ball of golden soil emerged in the sky.

Buzz! Buzz! The ball of golden soil spun above Ricky, emitting a noise like lightning in the sky. In the next instant, the Source of Golden Body escaped his control and shot upwards to meet the ball.

"Is that the Massacring Soil? It surprising to find that it has such a strong attraction to my Source of Golden Body," Ricky shouted with excitement.

He could also sense that the attraction was mutual

The Source of Golden Body and the Massacring Soil swirled around each other. The innate energy of the Massacring Soil poured continuously into his Source of Golden Body and strengthened his power.

"It seems that my Source of Golden Body and the Massacring Soil are complementary forces. They were made for each other!" Ricky felt giddy with excitement as he witnessed such an amazing scene. When he was in land of fortune of the Realm of Wildness, the Fortune Elder told him that he could achieve the real Ultimate Golden Body only when he acquired the Massacring Soil.

When he possessed the Massacring Soil, his Ultimate Golden Body could be evolved into the Chaotic Golden Body, an unbeatable and eternal skill in the world of martial arts.
