Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 276 Getting Rid of A Potential Hazard

The timber spirit manipulator wasn't one to confront the tough with more toughness. He guessed that Rocky would soon reach his limit and would have to dismiss the Spirit Possession after this attack. He only needed to withstand it and then Rocky would be powerless to launch another attack. Blocking Rocky's current attack was simple for him.

In the twinkling of an eye, Rocky was suddenly standing close to the timber spirit manipulator. He was gathering all of his spiritual power as this would be the last attack he could launch. If he failed to take the timber spirit manipulator down, he wouldn't have a second chance. Putting all of his strength behind it, Rocky threw his punch. The intense spiritual power pooled into his fist and it grew. Then it became a blast wave, blinding in light, as though tides were about to surge through the timber spirit manipulator.

The timber spirit manipulator believed that Rocky had exerted all his strength to throw this single punch. In response, he focused and released the spiritual power of Thunder nature. A thunder shield materialized in front of him to clash against spiritual power from Rocky.

Two streams of fierce spiritual power intertwined in the sky. There was the intermittent roar of thunder and the brief sizzling flashes of fire. These two streams eliminated each other in the fighting. And at last, they were used up and they disappeared after a burst of light.

At the same time, a light flashed onto Rocky and the Spirit Possession dissipated. Uriah separated from Rocky as a beast and landed on the ground. The beast was so exhausted and was barely able to stay standing. Both Rocky and Uriah were completely depleted.

After Rocky dissipated the state of Spirit Possession, the timber spirit manipulator snorted. Knowing that Rocky was now nothing more than a sacrificial lamb, he was confident that he had no power to counterattack.

"Thunder-sharp Fist!" The timber spirit manipulator threw an earth-rattling punch as Rocky stood unprepared, having just dismissed Spirit Possession. It was so powerful that even the wind caused by the punch could lacerate one's skin. The timber spirit manipulator called up his last reserves of spiritual power.

Just as the punch was about to make impact on Rocky, a glimmering bead appeared and it flooded forth into light. A dragon made of tongues of fire was surrounding the bead and absorbed the force released by the timber spirit manipulator's punch. The bead rushed to the timber spirit manipulator rapidly in the next moment.

It was the Dragon Flame Pearl that Rocky received not long ago. The reason he took out the Heaven Divine Lotus Seed was to acquire enough spiritual power to steer the Dragon Flame Pearl. There was no way that the timber spirit manipulator could know how powerful the Dragon Flame Pearl was. It would be too late by the time he was able to take action.

The timber spirit manipulator had depleted all of his spiritual power to fight Rocky. And now, bearing the force of the Dragon Flame Pearl's attack, he was defenseless to parry against it. Without warning, Dragon Flame Pearl was in front of him.

Bang!

The Dragon Flame Pearl became a fireball, glistening like the bloom of fireworks, and immediately imploded. Instantly, everything within a radius of a dozen meters was enveloped in a ball of flame, including the timber spirit manipulator.

There was a bloodcurdling scream in the air, and as the flames dispersed, the smoke and dust settling, the timber spirit manipulator lay scorched and smoldering on the ground. After all the dust settled down, the scourged and smoking timber spirit manipulator was found. The Dragon Flame Pearl fell after him.

Vast relief surging through him, Rocky walked toward the scorched manipulator and turned him over using his feet. The timber spirit manipulator was still alive, and there was an extraordinary look on his face: full of fear, shock, and a trance-like stare. He couldn't understand how he, a timber spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage, could have been defeated by an ordinary spirit manipulator close to the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage.

"Just so you know, this is not a three star third grade Dark Heaven Insect, but a rare Dark Heaven Insect Queen. You're lucky you even saw an insect queen before you die. Rest in peace,” Rocky snorted.

The timber spirit manipulator gurgled in his throat, trying to speak in his rage, but his pupils dilated, his head tilted and in the grip of his fury, he died.

Rocky picked up his Dragon Flame Pearl off the ground and returned it into his silken pouch along with Heaven Divine Lotus Seed. He fed Uriah and himself a drop of magical saliva. Finally, he rested and recovered in situ.

Half an hour later, when Rocky got some strength back, he went back up to Dark Heaven Insect Queen, and told it, "If you would like to follow me, I'll make sure to treat you well and take good care of you."

The insect howled in return, expressing its agreement to the proposal. Rocky nodded, pulled out the bone arrow from its leg and fed it with a drop of magical saliva.

A few moments later, the insect queen recovered its mobility and was able to take a few steps. Rocky then buried the body of the timber spirit manipulator. After clearing the battlefield, he surreptitiously left the woods for the northeast military camp along with Uriah, Rubygon, and the insect queen.

But far away, manipulators from the Timber Deity Empire, ambushed by a thousand soldiers of northern sky military camp, were heavily wounded or were killed. Only four manipulators were left. Among them was one spirit manipulator above the Heavenly Stage. Through his lead, the balancing people broke through the siege and withdrew to northern sky military camp to join their own armies.

The troops of northern sky military camp added momentum to their victory through a hot pursuit and went rolling back into northern sky military camp.

The timber deity troops who were attacking northern sky military camp suffered a great loss, after fighting off numerous feral spirit-manipulated beasts. Seeing the troops of northern sky military camp returning, they had to retreat.

Commander of northern sky military camp felt relieved after the timber deity troops retreated. He thought of Rocky and felt worried about him. So he sent out his best men to look for him. However, they returned empty-handed; Rocky had disappeared.

Half day later, leading a troop of northeast military camp, Marin came in for reinforcements. But once she reached northern sky military camp, she found that the timber deity troops had been beaten off.

"Commander Sun, I got messages sent by pigeons and they said that the Timber Deity Empire dispatched powerful troops to attack you by surprise. Among them were three spirit manipulators above the Heavenly Stage and lots of spirit manipulators of the Earthly Stage. I couldn't imagine how managed to defeat them, since you only have two thousands soldiers,” Marin told the Commander doubtfully as she stood in the middle of northern sky military camp. Judging by the chaos that reigned, she had an idea as to how fierce and violent the attack was.

But the truth was that the pandemonium and substantial damage accrued at site were caused by spirit-manipulated beasts attracted by Rocky. Nevertheless, it was because of him that the northern sky military camp was able to temporarily hold off the danger.
