Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 396 A Burning Defensive Dome

The two spirit-manipulated beasts, both at the second grade of the three-star level, hurled towards Rocky viciously and opened their mouths, projecting sharp teeth.

Rocky, however, remained impassive as the smoothest waters and stouthearted facing their approaching storms. He shuffled them in a flash and charged towards the spirit manipulator from the Timber Deity Empire, who was at the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage. In a split of second, Rocky had showed up in front of the spirit manipulator. Rocky's left hand, with the Evil Flame around, grasped the spirit manipulator's shoulder. At this very juncture, the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's left arm began glinting brightly.

While, the spirit manipulator felt faint and dizzy as his spiritual power was rapidly clearing out. However, formidable power was bursting out from the Frozen Wind Dagger in Rocky's hand, and the Evil Flame around his arm grew stronger and more vigorous.

"Dagger Dome!" Rocky uttered the two words when he brandished his Frozen Wind Dagger. The Evil Flame around his arm shot out and began interweaving around him. Layers of flames were moving fleetly, spurring up clouds of sand. They surged and whirled in a fiery dance, like gleeful fire fiends in the hot swirling air. In a matter of seconds, the Evil Flame formed a burning defensive dome around Rocky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The spiritual power attacks charging towards Rocky were swallowed as promptly as they hit against the defensive dome. As for the two spirit-manipulated beasts, they had been injured by the Evil Flame around the dome even before they could come into contact with Rocky. Fire was still blazing on the parts of their bodies where they contacted the Evil Flame. They howled painfully and rolled over the ground to try to put out the fire. As much as they tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from their throat in the form of groans.

The Dagger Dome was a spiritual martial arts skill Rocky created in the Myriad Beasts Ground, which was an unexpected inspiration. That expertise was to use the Frozen Wind Dagger to form a shielding dome when the user was enveloped by several opponents in a contest. The Dagger Dome could be defensive and also offensive. The Evil Flame around the dome could repel the opponents or their spirit-manipulated beasts. After getting hit by the Evil Flame, the victims couldn't get rid of the flames in a dash. Instead, the Evil Flame would keep on burning on their bodies for a while before it faded away. Only by stronger spiritual power could the victims eliminate the Evil Flame over them. The power inside the Evil Flame was sabre-rattling and unbridled enough to cause serious damages to the victims, especially spirit-manipulated beasts.

Just then, Rocky triggered off the Holy Dragon Bead's power to absorb the spirit manipulator's spiritual power, and then he channeled it into the Frozen Wind Dagger. In other words, he brought into service his opponent's spiritual power to launch attacks at the other side. While, his own spiritual power was still saved, preparing a big surprise for the Timber Deity Army.

Now that Rocky had dealt with the spirit manipulator and the two spirit-manipulated beasts, he didn't consume time with them anymore. He instantly threw away the spirit manipulator and again flew forth with powerful momentum.

The spirit manipulator couldn't even have a sensation of his legs while being tossed away. He abruptly knelt down on the ground and puffed and panted for air. Scared out of his wits, he sounded to have just woken up from a nightmare. His heart was beating like a wild animal trying to escape his chest, as he peeked back on the scene he fought against Rocky.

As for the other spirit manipulators present, none of them plucked up the courage to catch up with Rocky to continue the combat. They just watched how Rocky triumphed over the toughest one among them, who was at the fifth grade of the Earthly Stage. If they restarted the battle against Rocky, they would beyond doubt meet their death instantly. Because of that, they did nothing but just peek at Rocky flying away in front of them. After all, none of them could allow the repercussion of getting on his nerves.

Now that even the spirit manipulators didn't have the audacity to do anything to Rocky, the soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire already began shaking like a leaf and stepped back to let Rocky leave away. They all lowered their heads in case that they would have an eye contact with Rocky. What if Rocky just executed the one who greeted his eyes? None of them wanted to take such a compromise and expose themselves to jeopardy.

Seeing Rocky break out of the barricade that easily like a piece of cake, Commander Zhou turned grim-faced and clenched his fists. He inched to catch up and lock antlers with Rocky by himself, but the current situation didn't grant him the chance to do so. If he went out to attack Rocky, then there would be nobody to lead the army forces to retreat from the Wild Heaven Pass. Although he had his heart so much on killing Rocky to take retribution for himself and give vent to the humiliation he suffered in the Rough Slope, he had to pay attention to the predominant matter and worked hard to keep a rein on his rage.

On the other hand, the two sides of the Wild Heaven Pass became ear-piercing and rowdier. Meanwhile, a figure flashed as approaching the Wild Heaven Pass.

Now that all the soldiers by that time huddled closely, Commander Zhou in a dash led them to withdraw by the north gap, leaving no mulling over to what Rocky planned to do. But because Rubygon was safeguarding on the north gap, their retreating process was going on exceedingly slowly.

They had to keep it at bay first, so Commander Zhou sent three spirit manipulators and their spirit- manipulated beasts to fight Rubygon. Rubygon was very cunning as a fox. As peering them charge towards it, it jumped up and landed in the middle of the soldiers. It began playing tricks on them, which made the ordered army in a three-ring circus.

At the same time, Rocky had rushed into the Wild Heaven Pass. A hair-rising smile crept over the corner of his lips. The later second, a beast shadow appeared beside him. Fierce flames covered all over the beast's body. It was no other than Uriah.

"It's our time to be distinguished, Uriah!" Rocky said to Uriah as he stimulated all of his spiritual power. In a split second, the Evil Flame spurted out from his body, as if violent magma burst out from a volcano.

Meanwhile, the flames around Uriah grew stronger and brighter. Uriah then formed into a fire ball as flying towards Rocky. Gradually, both of them were coalescing with each other.

"Spirit Possession!" Rocky widened his eyes in a dash. In a split second, the Evil Flame around him began spinning, and the formidable momentum stirred up clouds of sand on the ground.

As the Evil Flame emitted a dazzling glare, a shell of crimson scales covered Rocky's body, and the furious Evil Flame enveloped his arms.

With a snap of his fingertip, the Dragon Flame Pearl flew out of his sleeve and landed on his palm. Then the Dragon Spirit Mark on his arm began glinting and wriggling, as if it became alive.

Streams of spiritual power were conveyed into the Dragon Flame Pearl, which illumined the dim pearl. Soon the Dragon Flame Pearl commenced shining with bright light.

Then the Dragon Flame Pearl in a flash rose up. Several dragon-shaped marks were born inside when the pearl was spiraling in the air, and became bigger. Flickering, looping under the spell it was sparked into. At the same time, the flames scattering around the entire Wild Heaven Pass broke out suddenly because of unknown influence. They were merely one meter high at first, but now their height was doubled.

What transpired later was terror striking further. After the outburst, the flames formed into flows charging towards the Dragon Flame Pearl. The fire flows were interweaving and spinning around the pearl, creating a burning tornado. The fire played amid the kindling like a child with a new toy, its flames leaping in excitement. Rocky stood at the center of the fire tornado, dozens of meters high, and saw it expanding and covering around. The radius of the round coverage even reached hundreds of meters. Everyone would be taken aback by such a striking picture.

When Commander Zhou and the army he led saw the fire tornado, they ultimately took heed of what a precarious situation they were in. They almost jumped out their skin as observing that scene. At the same time, Marin, Dunn and the five hundred soldiers, who had been prowling on the two sides of the Wild Heaven Pass, also got a glimpse of the fire tornado. And they were at a loss of words as well. As for Isis who defended on the south gate, her jaw almost fell to the ground.

The two commanders of the Timber Deity Empire and thousands of soldiers, who were intercepted outside by the fire sea, also witnessed the fire tornado through the open city gate. All of them were frightened to death by that picture.

"Back off!" Commander Zhou in a twinkle of an eye recognized something as seeing the terror striking scene, and in an instant shrieked out in consternation.

On the other hand, the Dragon Flame Pearl commenced moving, wrapped around the fire tornado. It headed for the north gap with sweeping momentum, and led the fire tornado to the same direction.

Observing the approaching fire tornado, the soldiers and spirit manipulators of the Timber Deity Empire shrieked in jitteriness and scampered to the gap in chaos. Now the congested gap slowed down their retreating speed further.

In order to extricate their own lives, the soldiers in the end of lines commenced running to the south gate. They made a getaway inside the Wild Heaven Pass but many of they were encompassed by the fire tornado.

Under the stellar sky, barbarism swept over the entire Wild Heaven Pass. Now it had turned into a memorable purgatory, where agonizing screams, gut-wrenching whines, and shrieks for help echoed the air. There was tightening of their throat and a short intake of breath forecasting the explosion of emotion.
