Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1346 A Horrendous Figure

In the end, Alston learned from Woods that Rocky was the one who developed the genetic agent. Alston also knew the relationship between Alyssa and Rocky, so he threatened Alyssa to ask Rocky for the formula, or else, Woods would be in danger.

Of course, Alyssa knew that the formula couldn't fall into Alston's hands, as he would definitely use the people of the Timber Deity Empire as test subjects. That being said, she could not let her brother be in danger either.

After careful consideration, Rocky decided to go to the Timber Deity Empire to discuss countermeasures with Alyssa.

Three days later, Rocky arrived at the rendezvous, which was located in a red leaf forest three miles away from the Timber Deity Empire's capital city.

When Rocky arrived, he found Alyssa anxiously waiting beneath the cover of a red-leafed tree. As soon as she spotted him, she hastily went up to greet him.

"How's it going?" Rocky asked Alyssa.

"I don't know yet. But according to the information I got before, my brother should be under house arrest now," Alyssa said worriedly.

"Then I'll go to the royal palace,” Rocky said coldly.

"But the royal palace must be heavily guarded right now, and Alston will definitely take the opportunity to deal with you," Alyssa disagreed, her beautiful eyes narrowed with concern.

"I don't think Alston knows when I will appear, so he may not be in the royal palace. If that is the case, I should be able to save Woods," Rocky reassured her confidently.

"Then I'll go with you," Alyssa requested.

"No, I have something else for you to do," Rocky refused, shaking his head.

"What is it?" Alyssa asked in confusion. What else could be more important than saving her brother? "Now that Woods has become a puppet, the Timber Deity Empire is doomed. The only way to save the Timber Deity Empire is to separate the army and the spirit manipulators and make them join the united empires. In the Timber Deity Empire, only you can do this. So, what you need to do next is gather the army and the spirit manipulators of the major clans you can gather, and then take them away from the Timber Deity Empire as soon as possible,” Rocky explained.

Hearing Rocky's words, Alyssa hesitated, but she knew clearly that he was right. The only way to save the Timber Deity Empire was to take it far away from the spiritual race's control. Then, she and her people needed to join the united empires, gather manpower, and wait for the opportune moment to take back the Timber Deity Empire.

"But what about you? I can't let you go alone.” Alyssa couldn't wholeheartedly agree with Rocky because she was still worried about him. Even though she knew that almost no one could defeat Rocky now, she didn't know what kind of ambush Alston would set for Rocky.

"Don’t worry about me. Just do what you need to do, and I'll take care of the rest.” Rocky put his hand on Alyssa’s shoulder and squeezed it comfortingly. Then he turned into a black flame and disappeared.

Once he was gone, Alyssa also flew away.

Rocky sneaked into the Timber Deity Empire's capital city and found that it was heavily guarded, just as Alyssa had said. The city guards, the palace guards, and a large number of powerful spirit manipulators seemed to be everywhere. Thinking that the royal palace must be guarded more heavily, Rocky could only shake his head in dismay.

But it couldn't stop him. That night, he sneaked into the royal palace to check the situation.

Just as he had expected, everyone in the royal palace was on high alert to guard against anything that might happen. In addition to the countless powerful spirit manipulators, there were also many strong cultivators at the Supernal Stage and some peerless masters at the Divine Stage guarding the royal palace. And although Rocky didn't see any spiritual master, he knew that there must be some. Besides, Alston had also sent many members of the spiritual race to help defend the palace.

"The royal palace is impregnable. They are waiting for me,” Rocky muttered to himself coldly before he disappeared into the dead of night.

At the same time, some people were gathered together in the Timber Deity Empire's palace. The one sitting on the throne was not Woods, but Geoffrey, whom Rocky was quite familiar with. Geoffrey's trusted subordinates, including Alexander, the chief of the Qi Clan, were also present. Back then, with Rocky's help, Woods won in the fight for the throne and became the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire, while Geoffrey had lost his power and influence. Although he was not willing to submit, he had no choice because of Alyssa's suppression.

Half a year ago, due to the destruction of the Wood Clan and Alston's takeover of the Timber Deity Empire, Geoffrey saw an opportunity. From then on, he tried every means to curry favor with Alston. In fact, he was the one that revealed the genetic enhancement plan of the spirit-manipulated beasts to Alston.

It didn't take long before Geoffrey gained Alston's trust. After Woods became a puppet, Alston put Geoffrey in charge of the Timber Deity Empire. Since then, he had fully controlled the Timber Deity Empire.

"Your Royal Highness, will Prince Crimson really come? I've been waiting for an opportunity too long to avenge my son," Alexander said through gritted teeth.

"Of course, he will come. He has a good relationship with Alyssa, so he would never just sit back and do nothing. We just need to wait patiently,” Geoffrey remarked with certainty.

"But I heard that Prince Crimson is very powerful. He doesn't even take the spiritual race seriously. I heard that he once killed thousands of the spiritual race members, so I don't think he is a man to be trifled with,” a peerless master at the Divine Stage said.

"No matter how strong he is, he is just a human being. You know, I have specially invited three masters at the Immortal Stage. In addition, the Spiritual King has sent two spiritual masters here. The five of them should be able to take him down," Geoffrey said confidently, as he had already made extensive arrangements. This time, Rocky would not succeed.

"If we take down Prince Crimson, it will be a great achievement for us. And if that happens, you will undoubtedly become the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire,” Alexander said.

"Of course. The throne has always been mine. Now, I'm just taking it back,” Geoffrey said proudly. What Geoffrey and the others didn't know was that Rocky was no longer the same as before. Instead of hiding his strength as he did in the past, he had become a horrendous figure.

The next day was a clear and sunny day, but the atmosphere in the royal palace was the opposite. None of the warriors exuded strength or confidence, and tension was a thick, moist blanket in the air. It was so quiet that a mouse could probably startle the hesitant guards.

Not long after, a tall and strong figure appeared in the square in front of the hall. He had his back to the sun, so all they could see was his silhouette. He walked towards the hall, and each step was accompanied by fiery black flames that swelled and surged all over his body. His aura was fearsome and formidable. Even under the bright sunlight, he resembled a nightmare—a demon shrouded in darkness.
