Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 895 Unable To Merge

"Is the regained spiritual meridian a low-grade one?" Ricky rubbed his chin with his thumb. He was visibly confused.

"But there is something strange. If the regained spiritual meridian is of low grade, how could I have made so many achievements? Also, if it is a low-grade spiritual meridian, the Heavenly Meridian should repel the regained spiritual meridian.

And yet, something surprising is taking place. The regained spiritual meridian repels the Heavenly Meridian. On the contrary, the Heavenly Meridian seems eager to merge with the regained spiritual meridian.

What the hell is going on?"

Ricky was already at his wit's end. He could no longer figure out what was truly taking place. "Regained spiritual meridian, maybe you're right in repelling the Heavenly Meridian. However, I will never reach the realm of spiritual emperor if I don't have the Heavenly Meridian. I'm afraid, this time, you don't have any other choice but to let the Heavenly Meridian merge with you.”

No matter how confused Ricky was at the moment, he still had to merge the Heavenly Meridian with his own spiritual meridian. After all, he wanted to further improve himself after becoming a demi-spiritual emperor.

Ricky then activated his full strength. He used it to guide the Heavenly Meridian and merge it with the regained spiritual meridian once again.

This time, however, the regained spiritual meridian still ignored his words. It emitted strong power that countered the merging from taking place.

Ricky didn't care about this at all. He activated all his power and aimed it towards the Heavenly Meridian.

Buzz!

While Ricky was busy activating his power, the chromatic energy on the regained spiritual meridian also exploded. It destroyed the Heavenly Meridian. In an instant, the Heavenly Meridian disappeared completely. Not even a residue of the Heavenly Meridian was left.

Only then did the regained spiritual meridian in his Soul Sea calm down.

Ricky was overwhelmed by what had just transpired.

"Damn it! What the hell just happened!?" Ricky blurted out, his confusion morphing into extreme frustration and annoyance.

The Heavenly Meridian which he had acquired with great efforts was effortlessly destroyed by the regained spiritual meridian.

Ricky really didn't know what to do. Should he start from the beginning and seize another Heavenly Meridian from another warrior?

"Ricky, what's the matter?" Tina asked as she had sensed Ricky's unusual aura from the Massacring Zone.

"Tina, if I tell you, you might not believe me!" Ricky said calmly, albeit the confusion and chaos in his mind.

"Just now, when I tried to merge the Heavenly Meridian, the Heavenly Meridian wanted to merge with my spiritual meridian. Unfortunately, my spiritual meridian repelled the Heavenly Meridian. Worse, it emitted strong power that ultimately destroyed the Heavenly Meridian.”

"What?" Tina was greatly shocked by Ricky's words. The look she had on her face was as if she had seen the heavens falling. She couldn't describe how astonished she was.

"Tina, not a word I uttered to you just now was a lie. Do you think I would have the time to make up stories at such a crucial time?" Ricky added, sensing Tina's disbelief.

"Of course I believe what you say. It's just that, like you, I don't want to believe that your spiritual meridian could destroy the Heavenly Meridian.” Tina breathed deeply.

"On the other hand, Ricky, that was also such an incredible display of power. I once heard from Doris that the Heavenly Meridian is a combination of the essence of heaven and earth and the heavenly power. It is so invincible that even gods can't shatter it,” Tina continued.

"In other words, even a sacred meridian can't smash the Heavenly Meridian. It needs to merge with the Heavenly Meridian to amplify its strength.

As for your spiritual meridian, I can only describe it as a ghost.

Ricky, if possible, I want to know the origin of your spiritual meridian.” Tina seemed to have an idea in mind

"Tina, my original spiritual meridian was extracted. My current spiritual meridian was made by a chain left by my mother. I call it the regained spiritual meridian," Ricky replied

Tina was stunned by Ricky's words

She had originally thought that Ricky might have been presented with a great opportunity that led him to acquire the spiritual meridian. She had never imagined that his spiritual meridian would be created by a chain.

It took quite a while for Tina to calm herself down. She then went on to ask Ricky a follow-up question, "So your mother..."

"I have never seen her. The last time I saw my father, he said he was going out to look for her. In the end, he disappeared too. For the past years, I have been searching for her everywhere I went. But since I left the Snow Land, I have not encountered any news about her," Ricky divulged.

"Let's look for her together. We'll find her,” Tina told Ricky decidedly. She was determined to help Ricky find his mother.

"I believe that, too!"

Tina's encouraging words instantly filled Ricky with hope and resolve as well

"Ricky, do you still remember what the Holy Three-Saber said about your blood power? As a holy being, he said that he would be humbled in front of your blood power. Did he mean that the power flowing within your veins is stronger than that of a Great Dragon's?” Tina analyzed

"If I'm not mistaken, your regained spiritual meridian really has something to do with your blood power."

"Perhaps." Ricky nodded, acknowledging Tina's theory.

"But now, we need to first focus on the problem at hand; and that problem is the fact that my regained spiritual meridian cannot merge with the Heavenly Meridian. At this rate, how on earth can I break through and become a spiritual emperor?”

"I don't know either. The only option I can think of is you have to find another Heavenly Meridian and have a go at it again. If your regained spiritual meridian still repels the Heavenly Meridian, then that only means your regained spiritual meridian is too powerful. Another possible explanation for this is your regained spiritual meridian has in truth, already merged with Heavenly Meridian without your knowledge,” Tina carefully deduced.

"That's impossible. If a Heavenly Meridian has already been merged, I should have been able to feel the heavenly power in the void myself. But now, I can only sense the Void Tree," Ricky countered, shaking his head.

The discussion between the two of them just left them even more confused. Before long, both finally agreed to halt their guesses for now and switch to a different topic. They had also decided to search for another Heavenly Meridian. This meant Ricky would have to try once again. If it still didn't work, it would mean that the regained spiritual meridian really couldn't merge with the Heavenly Meridian.

Ricky was waiting for Zenith and the others to recover.

Zenith's last battle with Boris was too intense that it drained all of the power and strength left in his body.

It took three whole days before all the people from the Northern Array Sect finally recovered. They rose to their feet and gathered once again.

"So, have you succeeded in merging the Heavenly Meridian?" Zenith eagerly asked.

"Of course I have," Ricky laughed with excitement.

He concealed his regained spiritual meridian with the runic power of the five zones. He had to do it to keep the others from discovering what had happened. Particularly, Ricky didn't want the creatures who had already merged the Heavenly Meridian with their own spiritual meridians to discover the nonexistent of Heavenly Meridian in his spiritual meridian

"Ricky, you have obtained the Heavenly Meridian. Even if we depart from the trip this early, I can say that we have already gained so many new opportunities in this trip." Soar excitedly bumped a fist with Ricky.

As Ricky's friend, he was naturally elated that Ricky had finally gained the Heavenly Meridian. "That's great! With your talent, you will have no difficulty in becoming a spiritual emperor. It is only a matter of time, and I'm sure it will happen very soon. Once the Snow Sect is reestablished, you have to be a Dominant Top Elder,” Zenith said with a warm smile.

"But, just to be clear, I don't have anything valuable for you. You won't get anything by serving as the Dominant Top Elder. Instead of earning a favor, it will be the other way around. It will become your duty to protect us instead.”

"Chief, that doesn't sound like a fair deal," Ricky said jokingly.

Instantly, however, his face took on a more serious expression, "But I have no choice but to accept that. After all, it will be my honor to be the Dominant Top Elder of the Snow Sect.”

"Ha-ha!" Everybody exploded into a loud and hearty laughter.

Their lighthearted moment was abruptly cut short when a loud "boom" caught them by surprise. The cackles and howls of wild animals could be heard from the distance.

Following the loud explosion, the entire Heavenly Void seemed to start collapsing. All the areas surrounding it began shaking violently as if there was some kind of power beneath it ready to topple the mountains and overturn the seas. The force was beginning to overwhelm the entire Heavenly Void.

It could be seen that even the Black Wind Abyss beside them was surging. Black windstorms swept out from the depths of the pitch black darkness.

"Let's get out of here quickly. By no means can we withstand the windstorms sweeping out of the Black Wind Abyss," Zenith called out to his people as he motioned for them to move out as fast as they could.
