The legendary warrior

Chapter 1292 The Time Zone

This was the most powerful move in Ricky's repertoire, and he wasn't sure he could withstand it. Even if he could, he was barely able to defend himself.

His prospects were made worse by the fact that he had to spend most of his energy activating the zone.

"I have never felt the power of my trump card. Now's the time to do so," Ricky murmured, his eyes sparkling with sheer fighting spirit.

Taking a deep breath, he concentrated every single ounce of power on his Ultimate Golden Body and activated the Massacring Holy Patterns to defend himself.

He didn't use the chromatic energy from the mysterious axe to shield himself since he needed it to activate the new zone.

"So, your plan relies on you using the chromatic energy to activate the zone. You're going to lose! And if you don't admit defeat, you will die. I'd hate to see you lose, but I must beat you. Paul compels me to do that. I am sorry,"

the Ricky from the River of Time said.

By the time these words had left his mouth, he had already created a suppressing lotus.

This lotus rushed towards Ricky at full pelt.

The latter's golden body was covered by numerous Massacring Holy Patterns. As if it could sense the incoming attack, it let out a soft growl. The next moment, all his powers merged into one and gathered on his arms. Ricky crossed his arms over his chest to withstand the attack of the lotus.

Boom!

An enormous explosion resounded across the Combat Space and a powerful shockwave spread out from the point of impact. Both Ricky and his opponent disappeared beneath the mushroom cloud that was now covering the entire area.

As the dust settled, a drop of blood was visible at the corner of Ricky's mouth.

He was getting weaker with every passing second.

He rolled in the air and his persona from the River of Time followed him closely.

"Ricky, either admit defeat or use the chromatic energy from the mysterious axe to defend yourself. Otherwise, you will definitely die!" the Ricky from the River of Time warned as he prepared himself for the next attack.

"You are me. You should know exactly what I want. If I used the chromatic energy for my defense, I won't be able to activate the seventh zone.

Anyway, you are persuading me to give up, so I guess Paul has tampered with your mind. You are not Ricky anymore, and I will defeat you eventually," Ricky responded with a cold look at his opponent.

"Also, you are me, but from a second in the past.

So, you will never know what I am thinking about right now," he growled emotionally.

His eyes suddenly emitted green light, and vitality came rushing out of his body.

If one were to observe him intently right now, they would find that he had suddenly grown older and his blood vitality had decreased.

'Life and Death Zone, I need you to help me reach my peak state. Take five thousand years of my lifespan in return,' Ricky roared in his heart.

It would cost him five thousand years of his life to perform the skill of Resurrection.

To reach his peak state, he had to give up almost a third of his life.

His actions didn't escape the Dragon Intent Grass which berated instantly, "Brat, have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do? Die? You just gave up five thousand years. It will definitely hurt your life essence. Is this really worth it?"

"I'm not crazy. I don't want to die. And yes, I am doing all this just to win," Ricky replied. "I need to be in my peak state if I want to activate the zone."

"You got me!" the Dragon Intent Grass helplessly replied.

The truth was, it admired Ricky for making such a bold and fearless move.

The skill of Resurrection had succeeded and Ricky was at full strength once more. He was stronger than his opponent now. Wasting no time, he launched an attack on his doppelganger. He wasn't going to stick with a defensive strategy anymore.

Boom!

The duo's attacks collided. With the help of the skill of Resurrection, Ricky was no longer at a disadvantage. However, he didn't appear to be at an advantage either. The two golden bodies were locked in battle, sending shockwaves after shockwaves into the air, but neither was being forced back.

They were in a stalemate.

"You must be insane. How can you spend so much lifespan without a morsel of doubt?" Ricky's opponent roared.

"Like I said, you're my past. You can never know what I am thinking now," Ricky replied calmly.

"You are right. I can never know what's on your mind. But I can perform the skill of Resurrection as well. So, stop resisting. I can also consume more lifespan than you for activating the skill of Resurrection,"

the Ricky from the River of Time screeched and

his eyes began shining with a green light too.

"Yes, I know you can use tens of thousands of years of the lifespan. In fact, you can kill me by consuming more lifespan than I have left. But I won't give you a chance to do so," Ricky declared ferociously.

As he spoke, a space emerged behind Ricky. Nothing but grey lights were visible inside it.

Immediately after, the grey power appeared, followed by the grey runes and finally, the grey fire began to burn wildly.

The grey power was the same power that the River of Time released.

Very soon, Ricky summoned the six remaining zones as well. Seven diverse kinds of runes rushed out from them to merge and form a spear. The spear then flew above Ricky's head and shot at his opponent's shoulder.

This weapon was so powerful that there was no way Ricky's doppelganger could withstand its attack. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He was stabbed in the shoulder and the stalemate was broken instantly.

Stepping back, the injured Ricky flashed a genuine smile at his future self.

"Why are you smiling?" Ricky asked in confusion.

"I'm glad that you won. This is what Ricky is. He never gives up even when all hope seems lost. Meanwhile, my congratulations to you. You have successfully activated the seventh zone and I can tell from its power that it is related to time,"

his past-self replied.

"Looks like your mind and will are not controlled by Paul after all." Ricky smiled softly as well.

"If I don't want to, even the holy being can't summon me from the River of Time. What power does a spiritual potentate have compared to the holy being?" the past Ricky explained.

"Is that so?" Ricky seemed to understand what his opponent meant.

He had won now, and his past self was moving back into the River of Time.

"Let me congratulate you too for activating the seventh zone," Ricky called out behind the latter.

"Ha-ha! Take care!" He received a wicked grin in response and finally, the River of Time version of Ricky disappeared from the Combat Space along with the river itself.

"So, looks like it is possible for us to defeat our past selves. All we need is some courage and determination. Although, it did cost you your lifespan," the Dragon Intent Grass remarked.

"You're right. Perhaps if I had activated the skill of Resurrection earlier, I would have won the battle much faster," Ricky said.

"Doesn't matter. You are the winner," the Dragon Intent Grass responded. "Now, I wonder what you are going to name your seventh zone."

"It's the Time Zone which contains the power of time," Ricky replied in a simple tone.

"I see. The Time Zone," the Dragon Intent Grass repeated thoughtfully.
