Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 947 The Shark Palace

After the evil spirit was removed from Tina's body, Ricky left the Massacring Zone.

"Ricky! It looks like you have comprehended the Transforming Omnipotent Skill,” Hugh called out to Ricky, as he came out. He seemed to be looking forward to when Ricky would finally show the power of his Transforming Omnipotent Skill.

"Hugh, the Transforming Omnipotent Skill can only be cultivated by spiritual emperors or above. For the time being, I can only change my appearance with the skill, and the change can only last for two days at most," Ricky answered him with a coy smile. Then he continued with a casual shrug, "So, as a matter of fact, I haven't comprehended it at all."

With that, he activated the cultivation method of the middle realm. In an instant, his bones, flesh, and blood transformed, and in the blink of an eye, there was a middle-aged warrior in his place. The others looked on in astonishment. Although they had seen the Old Oriental Emperor transform before, it was a different matter to see Ricky's transformation close-up.

"It's obvious that this change begins from the blood, flesh, bones, and even the cells. Even if a supreme warrior was standing in front of you, he will still not recognize you. This is the effect of an Omnipotent Skill cultivation method!" Huge remarked in awe, as he looked Ricky all over, excited by the skill's effect.

"The Transforming Omnipotent Skill is quite unusual!” Ricky muttered almost to himself. He didn't seem to mind Hugh's close attention, as he was also looking at himself in amazement.

His awe lasted for a few moments before he started looking around. Then he turned to the others and asked, "By the way, where are we now?"

"We have reached about a quarter of the journey. We are now in the territory of a force called the Shark Palace, which is a semi-spiritual imperial force. A few years ago, the leader of the Shark Palace was an upper-grade demi-spiritual emperor, but I don't know if he had grown any stronger in the past few years.

The realm of a demi-spiritual emperor can be divided into several sub-realms: ordinary demi- spiritual emperor realm, lower-grade demi-spiritual emperor realm, upper-grade demi-spiritual emperor realm, and strong demi-spiritual emperor realm. And the most powerful realm is the incredible demi-spiritual emperor realm but it may or may not appear,” explained Amanda. Ricky's head tilted curiously, as he heard something interesting.

"Incredible demi-spiritual emperor realm? Why did you say it may or may not appear?” Ricky asked, his face scrunched up in confusion.

"Well, based on the degree of comprehension of the incomplete ruling power, the realm of the demi-spiritual emperor is divided into four sub-realms. The preliminary stage comprehension leads to an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor realm while the minor achievement comprehension leads to an lower-grade demi-spiritual emperor realm. On the other hand, the major achievement comprehension leads to an upper-grade demi-spiritual emperor realm, and the completeness comprehension leads to a strong demi-spiritual emperor realm," Amanda explained lengthily. She only paused for a bit, before she continued her long explanation.

"Once a warrior reaches the realm of the strong demi-spiritual emperor, provided that he can comprehend complete ruling power, he can go through the Thunderstroke Doom and step on the path to become an innate spiritual emperor. However, some demi-spiritual emperors can challenge and even kill real spiritual emperors while they are still at the realm of the demi-spiritual emperor. These demi-spiritual emperors are called incredible demi-spiritual emperors.

But only extremely talented warriors can become incredible demi-spiritual emperors, which is why it's so rare. Even in the Middle Land where countless geniuses have appeared, only a few incredible demi-spiritual emperors have appeared throughout history.”

"Oh, I see. This is the first time that I've heard of the incredible demi-spiritual emperors!" Ricky commented as he came to understand Amanda's explanations.

"Ricky, I have a feeling that you will become an incredible demi-spiritual emperor because you can challenge someone three levels higher than you, even when you were a spiritual king," Hugh told Ricky seriously.

"Ha-ha! You must be joking, Hugh. The gap between a demi-spiritual emperor and a spiritual emperor is insurmountable. Only an extremely talented warrior could become an incredible demi- spiritual emperor. I don't have that much talent.”

"Well, now, let's speed up to the Western Land. There are increasingly complicated forces along the way to the central sea area. I hope we won't run into any trouble,” Amanda said, her focus back on their journey. She was looking at the distant sea in front of her as if she was already visualizing a safe path for them. The two men quieted down then and looked in the direction she was looking at. Together, they wished for a peaceful journey.

They traveled far and long, but unfortunately, their wish didn't come true. They were avoiding trouble, but it seemed that trouble came, looking for them anyway.

"It seems that your wish can not be fulfilled, Amanda," Ricky said with resignation, and a small sigh escaped from his lips.

They all looked ahead of them, where a commotion was happening. Loud shouts of joy echoed across the sea until it reached even their ears.

"Ha-ha, Hall Leader! How lucky of us, to meet prey as soon as we come out, and there are beauties among them too!"

Ricky and the others stared at the black sharks in front of them. Most of them were about twenty meters long, with huge sharp teeth that glinted under the sunlight.

The sharks were looking at them hungrily with intense black eyes, which would cause a shiver to run through some weak people. They exposed their jagged teeth, which were bloody and red in parts as if they had recently killed some pitiful creatures.

But contrary to their appearance, these black sharks weren't very strong. In fact, they had just broken through and become innate spiritual kings.

It was perhaps because of their weaker strength that they could only let others ride them.

All in all, there were twenty black sharks, and on their backs were people who looked as wild as them. These people sported sharp jagged teeth, like smaller versions of a shark's teeth.

Similarly, their ears appeared like gills, while their palms were thin and webbed. Behind their elbows were slimy fins as well.

Ricky could easily pick out their leader. He was riding a huge black shark in the middle of the ruckus, and from his breaths, he was most probably an ordinary demi-spiritual emperor.

"These guys are bad news! They must have come from the Shark Palace, from the bloodline of Shark Palace's leader—the Black King Shark tribe,” Hugh announced with a heavy heart.

"The creatures of the Black King Shark tribe are bloodthirsty and ferocious by nature. They are notorious for bullying the weak, but they fear those who are stronger than them. They especially like killing creatures on the continent, such as us,” Amanda explained. She gasped in fear when an especially loud growl came from the sharks.

"Even if we have spiritual emperors behind us, they won't stand up to them to protect us. The spiritual emperors in the sea won't allow them to fight unless the spiritual emperors on our side can defeat them with ease.”

"Let's wait and see what they will do first," Ricky told her, as he put a heavy but reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Across the sea, they could hear the hall leader shouting orders. "Are you ready? Shoot them! Let's see how many of them you can hit. Remember, whoever hits a target will get a reward.”

Swish!

They saw the people from the Shark Palace, as they prepared their bows and arrows and condensed their power. They shot the arrows towards Ricky and his companions.

"They don't look especially strong. Let's go and kill them, or else we cannot move forward,” Ricky suggested casually.

"Even if we kill them, we may still run into trouble again!" Hugh said helplessly. "But you are right, we have no choice but to kill them. After all, we can't just stand here and wait until their arrows hit us."

"I can't understand what's going on in their brains! Are they acting so arrogantly because there is an upper demi-spiritual emperor behind them? I wonder how they will look when they realize that they can't hide behind that person when death comes for them,” Soar muttered darkly.

"Maybe it's because they can't sense any demi-spiritual emperor among us,” said Amanda. She watched with widening eyes, as the arrows came closer and closer to them

"Let me fend off these arrows first,” Ricky said, cutting off their conversations.

Immediately, massacring runes surged and formed a golden wall barrier around them, fending off all the arrows. When the people from the Shark Palace saw this, their faces darkened.

How could any creature resist them? It made them angry that somebody had dared to stand up to them because, in their minds, everyone should fear them.

"How dare you resist? Don't you know the rules here?" roared one of the people from the Shark Palace angrily.

Immediately, the Black King Sharks stopped shooting arrows and besieged Ricky and his companions. Real killing intent flowed from their bodies like red auras.

"Rules?" Ricky mumbled, feeling confused. He scratched his head in puzzlement, but there was no trace of fear or intimidation on him.

"Do you know the rules here, Hugh?" he asked

"Of course I know. But it's just nonsense!" Hugh immediately answered him with a playful smirk.
