Chapter 1113 The Fact

Crack! Crack!

As soon as the blast swept through the air, Sol's strongest defense was shattered into pieces. Soon
after, he started to cough a mouthful of blood as he was flown out with intense force.

As he was shot out like a cannonball, the traces he left seemed to have torn the void into two.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with nothing but infinite fear and despair.

It was not until this moment that he realized how big the difference was between his strength and
Ricky's.

This was quite reasonable. Sol had just become a spiritual emperor not long ago, making his strength
more inferior than what Oswald had. Needless to say, he was far weaker than Ricky.

He was considered to the weakest lower spiritual emperor. Of course, he could not contend with Ricky,
whose capability in combat could reach the average level among lower spiritual emperors.

In general, a slight different on the strengths would be considered large enough to decide the winner
when two warriors fought. The dominant fighter could easily defeat the inferior one without breaking a
sweat. But of course, there were exceptions to this normal rule, with an abnormal ace genius such as
Ricky as an example.

During this time, Ricky did not think twice as he darted and trailed Sol. Instantly, the latter was
shredded into pieces. Soon after, Ricky activated the flames to burn his soul.

In order to fully kill a spiritual emperor, he had to entirely destroy his corporeal body and soul.
Otherwise, there would still be a chance, although small, to bring the spiritual emperor back to life.



"You are the only one to blame for this. You are a member of the Nether Manor, and the feud between
the Nether Manor and me cannot be mended," Ricky said gently.

"You're very decisive, making you so resilient living in this world where the strong preys the weak.
Moreover, you're an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. I have no doubt that you will definitely hold one
of the supreme positions in the world in the future." An appreciative voice immediately came through
out of the blue.

"I'm flattered to hear that, sir!" Ricky said with utmost respect.

As the void slid open, a middle-aged man in a plain grey robe walked out.

As a matter of fact, this man looked nothing but an ordinary person, radiating an aura that was as plain
as his robe.

This man was none other than the saint guardian in the Eastern Land—the Wood Saint.

"An incredible demi-spiritual emperor deserves all kinds of praise. It is an honor to have seen you in
action," Wood Saint said with a faint smile. "Moreover, I've been always aware of what you did in the
Eastern Land."

Soon after, Ricky walked towards the Wood Saint and had a brief chitchat with him.

"Sir, may I know the reason why you came to see me?" Ricky inquired.

"Of course. In fact, I wanted to talk to you about the Nether Manor," Wood Saint answered.

"I believe you know the Nether Manor very well. As it turns out, Norris could cultivate the evil spirit to up
to fifty percent, which is beyond the limit of the creatures on the continent. If you'd ask me, they are
probably in cahoots with devils. In addition, in the current era, those hidden devils have already begun
to take action,"



Ricky explained.

"All I can say is that I know that they are not conniving with devils. It's just that their identities are
special," Wood Saint expounded. "Otherwise, I would have taken action against them long ago, so that
I wouldn't have to be in a dilemma now. But the question now is whether or not I should deal with
them."

"Wait, what special identities?" Ricky asked as he became confused with what he heard.

"Ricky, I think I already have an idea regarding the background of the members of the Nether Manor,"
the Dragon Intent Grass said through telepathy as soon as he heard what the saint said.

At the same time, the saint also disclosed the secret to Ricky.

"They are human devils. In short, they are the combination of both human and devil. Half of their
bodies share the blood of devils, while the other half of their bodies share the blood of humans," said
the Wood Saint.

"This so-called human devil is a descendant of both devils and humans. Of course, there are also
descendants of devils and other creatures as well. However, among this group of creatures, most are
the descendants of devils and humans. As a result, they are called human devils.

After countless eras, the devils have spent a lot of time on the continent, causing them to hybridize with
humans or other creatures."

"I see. I have never imagined that the members of the Nether Manor would have such an identity. Since
half of their bloodline comes from devils, it is reasonable that they can cultivate the evil spirit to fifty
percent," Ricky said as he nodded his head.



At this moment, his eyes widened as he tried to ingest this new information. After all, this was his first
time to hear that such a creature even existed on the continent.

"These human devils' identities are just so one-of-a-kind that they are being rejected by both the
humans and the devils," the Wood Saint continued.

"That's the reason why they are forced to hide their identities from everyone. In order for them to
survive, they simply claim to the outside that they cultivate a special cultivation method.

Plus, the human devils do not want to be seen, so they usually keep a low profile and seldom cause
any trouble easily. To avoid such attention, they tend to live in their respective territories.

Of course, there are also some very ambitious human devils. In this case, I think that they may have
inherited more nature of the devils. For example, the Nether Manor here falls into this category."

"Now, I seem to understand everything you have just said." Ricky nodded in agreement.

"These human devils are in the favor of neither the devils nor the creatures on the continent. However,
everybody has to admit that they are the strongest group of creatures on the continent. In fact, every
powerful force and clan is afraid of them, because they gather the bloodline of both humans and devils,
which is actually reasonable in my opinion," Wood Saint added.

"Therefore, all the major forces are afraid of human devils. They fear that the human devils will
cooperate with the devils once the devils decide to invade the continent. So the major forces even want
to form an alliance with one another to eliminate these pesky human devils.

The fact remains that these human devils have human blood left in them. Needless to say, some very
righteous seniors are unwilling to kill them.



Maybe human devils regard the continent as their homeland. After all, when the devils invaded, they
chose to stand with the creatures on the continent. After countless eras, human devils have gained the
trust of the creatures on the continent to a certain extent.

That's the reason why the leaders of all the major forces have also recognized the status and the
existence of human devils on the continent.

Therefore, the fact that the Nether Manor dominates the Eastern Land is an internal business of the
Eastern Land, and I can't really interfere with that."

"Thanks, sir. I think I got it." Ricky smiled and nodded.

"There is still something I'm confused. why could Norris have recovered so soon? Did he really make a
breakthrough on his own?"

"In my opinion, he is not that talented. Being a middle spiritual emperor is his limit. It just so happened
that a pill refiner has appeared and supported him. That pill refiner is also the main reason why Norris
dares seek ascendancy in the Eastern Land."

Wood Saint replied.

"A pill refiner! It seems that this pill refiner must be at the Sage Level! But why on earth would a Sage
Level pill refiner work for the Nether Manor?"

Ricky asked.

"There can only be one explanation to that. It's because that pill refiner is also a human devil," the
Wood Saint answered. "Although he is not from the Eastern Land, his strength is not enough to make
me take action against him, so..."



At this moment, the Wood Saint was somewhat helpless. As a saint guardian, he was subjected to too
many restrictions because they had already pledged to the Martial Arts Oath. Otherwise, they wouldn't
have to consider situations so carefully before taking action.

"Don't worry. I will try my best to solve the problems here," Ricky said seriously.

Perhaps neither the Nether Manor nor Ricky was right or wrong. It was just that they thought about
things from different perspectives, and they had different understandings of the meaning of justice.

In order to defend justice in his heart and to make the people he knew and valued continue to live here,
Ricky had to keep fighting against the Nether Manor.

After learning about the background of the Nether Manor from the Wood Saint, Ricky did not think twice
to rush to the location of the Endless Shadow.
