Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 275 Super Possession

"That's impossible! An ordinary spirit manipulator cannot activate Spirit Possession. Even a primordial spirit manipulator will have difficulty in learning that technique. How did he do that!?" The timber spirit manipulator was awed with what he had witnessed Rocky do. He stood mute and dumbfounded as he stared blankly at Rocky's transformed body.

The figure before him looked like a savage beast. His hands ended in sharp, long claws covered with brilliant flames. The air in the area slowly warmed as the flames played back and forth around his claws and then back again. Two tails protruded from Rocky's back. Sparks constantly flew off from the tails as they moved slowly from the left side to the right and then back to the left. His face looked sharp and vicious, and his eyes looked like burning orbs of molten steel.

"Activating Spirit Possession required that the spirit manipulator possessed extraordinary will, ability and strength. Even with those attributes, there is no guarantee that they will be able to activate it successfully. It's harder for those who do not meet those requirements! I can't even achieve it. But he was able to activate it! And he achieved it even as an ordinary spirit manipulator!" The timber spirit manipulator failed to understand how the event that unfolded before him was possible. His current level and skill as a Heavenly Stage spirit manipulator was not even close to the skill and level needed to activate Spirit Possession.

While under Spirit Possession, Rocky's strength increased dramatically to the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage. Even his energy was fully replenished. This state allowed the spirit manipulator's power to be fused with spirit-manipulated beasts and this fusion increased his own strength by two to three grades.

On the downside, Spirit Possession consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy and stamina. Thus the form had a time limit. One hour was Rocky's limit. The situation had to be concluded quickly before the time limit was up.

Additionally, even though Rocky reached the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage, there was still a power gap between them. The power of a first grade of the Heavenly Stage was still stronger. Rocky had several advantages, though. The timber spirit manipulator lost an arm during Rocky's surprise attack just now. And his spiritual energy was almost spent during the battle.

While Spirit Possession was active, Rocky had access to the nature spiritual power that only primordial spirit manipulators used. This meant that Rocky was able to manipulate Fire that increased his strength a lot.

The timber spirit manipulator was well aware of this information as well. He was completely surprised at first, but the realization of the situation that he was in brought a dark shadow to his countenance. Rocky proved capable of many things that should not be possible to begin with.

In addition to having Spirit Possession activated, Rocky now possessed an ability that he should not have access to. The timber spirit manipulator never imagined such a thing was even remotely possible. It took him too much time and energy to take care of this little spirit manipulator who was barely at the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage. He even lost an arm during their battle. But what made matters worse was that he gave Rocky the opportunity to activate Spirit Possession, and that placed him in a completely disadvantageous situation. As a master of the Heavenly Stage, this battle was a complete shame to him. He would be a laughingstock if what happened here became known to anyone in the Timber Deity Empire!

'Who the hell is this guy?! He looked like an ordinary guy but the abilities he displayed are astounding! Unfortunately, instead of trying to find out who he really is, the only important thing right now is killing him. He cannot stay alive!" the timber spirit manipulator thought with grim determination. No matter who Rocky truly was, he gained nothing from letting Rocky live. He suspected Rocky's true identity with that thought. Even if Rocky truly did come from an allied empire, he would still kill Rocky without hesitation. He only saw problems in the future if Rocky lived.

Rocky had the exact same thought. If anyone found out that he had the Dark Heaven Insect Queen, he would never be at peace. The only thing that mattered to Rocky right now was to get rid of the timber spirit manipulator to keep his secret. But the timber spirit manipulator was much stronger than him. He had to use all of his hidden powers.

The same objective urged these two combatants forward as the confrontation neared the final chapter!

Unwavering eyes fixed on each other. Their spiritual powers brought forth to its fullest! Without warning and as if signaling the final stage of the contest, a dust-filled wind blew between the two combatants.

"Fire Cloud!" Rocky immediately took advantage of the dust-filled wind and began his attack. The Spirit Possession gave him access to the Vast Nebula Skill and this allowed him to merge it with the power of Fire. A burning flame immediately flew towards the direction of the timber spirit manipulator.

"Thunder Bursts Strike!" The timber spirit manipulator reflexively summoned a counterattack as soon as he sensed Rocky's intention. Although losing an arm severely weakened him, he had the advantage of experience in combat. He used the spiritual martial arts that he was most proud of to deal with Rocky's attack. Three lightning bolts emerged from the ground and took an intercept path towards Rocky's attack. The attacks took independent paths towards its target.

When the two attacks finally crossed each other's paths, time in the entire area seemed to have stopped for a fraction of a second. No sound and no movement happened for that entire fraction of a second and then it came. A loud and powerful explosion filled the area with smoke, debris, lightning and fire that destroyed everything it touched. The explosion threw shades of destruction in all directions that looked like shadowy figures running away from the devastation. When the smoke and devastation cleared, almost nothing remained standing where the explosion had hit, except the two combatants locked in a deadly battle for superiority. And the death of one of the two combatants was the only possible ending.

Rocky's increase in power was not enough to give him complete advantage over his opponent. It was the timber spirit manipulator's folly of underestimating Rocky that gave Rocky most of his advantages over him. But the timber spirit manipulator seemed to have learned his lesson. He now regarded Ricky seriously. He now fought Rocky with his full skill and ability. He defended against Rocky's attacks with just the right counterattacks. He never overextended himself that might endanger him from another unexpected counterattack from Rocky. Even the smallest miscalculation by either one of the two combatants could completely turn the tide and end in the defeat and death of one of them. They were both locked into this seemingly unending game of attack and counterattack. Neither of them wanted to give the other any advantage, any hint of an opening, any hint of weakness. Each one was determined in wiping the other off the face of the planet.

The fight was not kind to the timber spirit manipulator. He did not expect Rocky to be seriously aggressive when he was under Spirit Possession. Fire and Thunder were both destructive energies and they both gained no advantage over the other.

But Rocky was on the brink of collapse, and the Spirit Possession was about to expire. Once it ended, Rocky's power level would go back to that of a sixth grade of the Earthly Stage. Moreover, his spiritual power would be almost completely depleted. The only outcome once Rocky dropped to that state was losing to his opponent and getting killed.

With the knowledge of what would happen once the Spirit Possession ended; Rocky knew that he had to do something before the Spirit Possession expired. And it was not long before Rocky came up with an idea. He dug his hand into his silken pouch and brought out a Heaven Divine Lotus Seed. His opponent saw all of Rocky's movements and noticed the Heaven Divine Lotus Seed that Rocky brought out. This particular one seemed filled with spiritual power unlike the previous one before it. His eyes narrowed while he thought about the situation.

The last Heaven Divine Lotus Seed had been used several times and its spiritual power was almost completely exhausted. All Rocky had to do was crush it and it released all of its remaining energy. But this one Heaven Divine Lotus Seed that Rocky brought out was different. It had never been used even once. Rocky could not crush this one for its energy. And it would be unwise if Rocky planned to take its spiritual power directly. That would be the same as suicide.

With his spiritual power almost completely exhausted, Rocky had no other choice but to use a Heaven Divine Lotus Seed. Using it allowed him to complete what he was determined to do. It was the only way for him to obtain more energy.

But his opponent was fully aware of what he intended to do. He was aware that Rocky could no longer sustain the Spirit Possession. He smiled slightly at the thought. He knew that it was only a matter of time. Once Rocky used up all his spiritual power and reverted back, he would immediately kill him.

What the timber spirit manipulator never expected was that Rocky still had enough energy left; he turned into a shadow of fire with a Heaven Divine Lotus Seed in one hand and rushed at full speed towards him. Rocky appeared to have defeated the timber spirit manipulator in their final clash.
