"Son, drop your arrogance! If you can withstand three attacks from me, I'll let you in!" Elder Kerr
announced aggressively. He was obviously irritated by Rocky.
"As you wish, sir. Please don't break your words," Rocky said, curling his lips into a smirk.
"Being so conceited will do you no good," Elder Kerr warned, his eyes sparkling with the urge to teach
Rocky a lesson. The next moment, a surge of strong spiritual power of the Divine Stage rushed out of
his body and formed a cyclone around him.
Before everyone could realize what was happening, Elder Kerr had already flown towards Rocky and
ended up right in front of him. His aura at the sixth grade of the Divine Stage instantly enveloped Rocky
from head to toe.
"Wind ghost!" he shouted, extending his arms in front of him and holding his palms outward. The next
moment, cold wind roared and spread out dozens of meters around him. Spiritual streams were
dancing within it like ghost shadows, bringing along a strong malicious aura.
All the people gathered around, including the masters of the Supernal Stage, hurriedly retreated. They
all knew that this attack launched by Kerr wouldn't tell enemy from friend, and would hurt anyone
standing within its ring of encirclement.
Soon, only Elder Kerr and Rocky, who seemed to be completely suppressed by the power, remained
on the spot.
Of course, it came as no surprise to Rocky that Elder Kerr was hard to deal with. Otherwise, the latter
would not have reached the sixth grade of the Divine Stage. Due to the gap between their cultivation
bases, it seemed that it would be impossible for Rocky to withstand this stroke, the very first attack that
Elder Kerr launched.
The ghost-like spiritual currents pounced on Rocky from all directions, moving as fast as lightning.
A moment later, there was a spiritual explosion that resounded through the air, making the earth
tremble.
When the explosion died down, everyone saw that the ground within a thirty-meter radius of Rocky had
completely collapsed, covered by a cloud of dust. Elder Kerr's attack had been so powerful that it had
crushed everything in its way to fine powder.
Upon seeing this, Alston began laughing wildly, like a madman. It seemed that Elder Kerr had mustered
all his strength to give Rocky a fatal blow. And much to Alston's amusement, Rocky hadn't even had
the time or strength to respond. Even if Rocky had been able to survive the attack, he must be
seriously injured. Alston was quite sure about it. After all, the gap in their strengths was as huge as a
valley.
To everyone's surprise, however, an even wilder string of laughter came from the cloud of dust.
The dust gradually dissolved in the breeze, revealing a fully intact Rocky, whose body was shrouded in
Evil Flame. The Evil Flame looked like several fire dragons protecting his body, making him look
extremely evil but attractive. What was even more incredible was that his aura had risen to the third
grade of the Divine Stage.
"Are you kidding me? How is that possible?" Elder Kerr uttered, going pale.
Alston stiffened in shock, but he knew that the only reason Rocky had survived was because of the
power of the Holy Dragon Bead inside him.
While everyone was still frozen in shock, Rocky approached Elder Kerr with a smile. "Sir, there're two
more attacks to go!"
Elder Kerr came back to his senses at once and snarled in anger. The next moment, he gathered the
power within him, making his body tremble and his sleeves flutter in the wind. Then, his hands moved
in a circle with his body. Soon, a ball of spinning wind appeared in front of him, condensing strong
spiritual power.
"Wind punishment!" he shouted. As his hands pushed forward, the ball of spinning wind in front of him
suddenly shot out, growing bigger and bigger along the way. It looked like a whale's mouth that could
swallow everything in its way.
It soon reached Rocky, who was still moving toward Elder Kerr, and swallowed him.
The next moment, the wind ball returned to its sphere with Rocky still inside it.
Then, the wind ball exploded from inside. The blast from the explosion spread as far as a hundred
meters around it, causing all the spectators to struggle to hold their ground. So, they were sure that
Rocky, who was right at the center of the explosion, must have succumbed this time.
When the wind finally died down and everyone opened their eyes again, however, an even stronger
aura at the fifth grade of the Divine Stage welcomed them. A flaming ball about the same size of the
wind ball just now slowly descended to the ground where the explosion had taken place. The flaming
ball disappeared the moment it touched the ground, revealing Rocky, who was once again standing
there untouched with a straight face.
Elder Kerr's eyes were almost about to pop out of their sockets in shock. He couldn't believe that Rocky
had withstood two attacks from him without suffering so much as a scratch. What was worse, Rocky's
aura kept becoming more powerful, which was unbelievable.
Logically speaking, even if Rocky fully released the power at the fifth layer of the seal in his body, it
would not be enough for him to reach the fifth grade of the Divine Stage. However, in order to get a
short burst of power, he had specially asked Marcia to temporarily release the power at the sixth layer
of the seal, so that he could apply it at a critical moment. Of course, this special power came with a
restriction—he could only use it twice. By now, he had already made use of these two chances to
withstand Elder Kerr's first two moves. That was to say, no matter how hard the coming situation was,
Rocky couldn't depend on the seal again.
Therefore, it was still uncertain whether he would be able to withstand the final attack or not.
However, his tone was just as casual and complacent as always when he said, "One attack to go."
Without any delay, Elder Kerr waved his sleeve, which turned into a shadow of wind and rushed to
Rocky swiftly. This attack was different from the previous ones, because he had only used his right arm
to gather the wind spiritual power.
As the spiritual power grew, Elder Kerr approached Rocky. When he thought that he was close enough,
he waved his right arm and pounced at Rocky. Suppressed by the wind, Rocky found it hard to move
even an inch.
Fortunately for him, he didn't intend to dodge. As he raised his left arm to resist, the Dragon Spirit Mark
on his left arm shone brightly. When Elder Kerr saw the Dragon Spirit Mark, he couldn't help but falter a
little. He had never expected that Rocky would actually be a spirit manipulator of the royal family. As far
as he knew, there was no such young master of the Divine Stage in the royal family.
But despite his astonishment, Elder Kerr didn't reduce his strength. As their palms collided in the air,
the two strong spiritual powers at the Divine Stage rushed around, raising layers of air waves. The wind
radiance and the fire shadow intertwined in the air and constantly soared into the sky.
Everyone present held their breath and craned their necks to see the incredible sight.
However, at such a crucial moment, Rocky suddenly withdrew his hand. Elder Kerr hadn't foreseen this
movement, but he still spared no effort and directly slapped his palm on Rocky's left shoulder, making
him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, Rocky suddenly reached out and gripped his arm before drawing him nearer and
whispering something into his ear, much to the puzzlement of all the spectators, including Alston.
Whatever Rocky said, it made Elder Kerr's face change color.
However, before Elder Kerr could figure out what to do next, Rocky brushed past him and rushed to
Alston, who was less than a hundred meters away.
Alston raised his eyebrows at the sudden change. All of a sudden, he knew that he couldn't expect
Elder Kerr to protect him anymore, because the man had become completely unresponsive. Instead,
Alston turned to the other masters of the Divine Stage around him and shouted, "All of you, go and kill
him!"
Immediately, the six masters of the Divine Stage, including Elder Duke, all rushed towards Rocky head-
on.
After forcefully releasing the evil power at the sixth layer of the seal not once, but twice, Rocky had
already consumed more than half of his spiritual power, which was a very heavy burden on his body. In
addition, he had also been seriously injured by Elder Kerr's final hit. Now, he had to face the joint attack
of the six peerless masters at the Divine Stage. It seemed that he had no chance of surviving, let alone
winning this battle.
However, Rocky was not an ordinary person, and he never took the ordinary path.
