CHAPTER 551 ABSOLUTE POWER
At this moment, no one knew what happened. It seemed as though everyone forgot that their lives
were in danger. Rocky's strange change attracted their attention as well.
Rocky looked particularly weird at the moment. Apart from the ferocious black spiritual power that
surrounded his body like a raging fire, he was covered in cherry blossoms.
"Brat, do you want to let the Sea Blue Magic Jade admit you as its master? Ha! Ridiculous! You could
never do that on your own. How could the power of a human spirit manipulator ever surpass that of a
spiritual race member?" the Dark Lord said with a long face. He also seemed to be afraid of the cherry
blossoms which protected Rocky, so he didn't move forward.
Upon hearing his words, the spirit manipulators including Erica and Sabina were shocked to know that
the treasure they were fighting for belonged to the Dark Lord. He was the Sea Blue Magic Jade's
master and it meant that it'd be impossible for anyone else to possess it.
Everyone present felt that all Rocky had done was now useless. What the Dark Lord had just said was
right. No human spirit manipulator stood a chance against a member of the spiritual race. Even if the
Dark Lord didn't exert too much effort, his power would still be equivalent to that of a human spirit
manipulator at the Divine Stage.
On top of that, the spirit manipulators at the Divine Stage were known to be extremely formidable in the
Wild Spirit Land, only second to the several spirit manipulators at the Immortal Stage.
It was hopeless to believe that Rocky had a chance at retrieving the Sea Blue Magic Jade and claiming holds text © rights.
ownership over it from the Dark Lord. Only a miracle could make that happen.
With each passing moment, the evil spiritual power within Rocky began to wane as it was being sucked
out by the Sea Blue Magic Jade. The jade was relentless, some might even say unsatisfied, as it
continued to absorb the limited power from him.
Rocky had already driven his power to its limit. However, it was still not enough to make the Sea Blue
Magic Jade accept him as its master.
"You really don't know when to give up, do you, brat?" the Dark Lord sneered with disdain as he
observed the spiritual power that Rocky released easily sucked up by the Sea Blue Magic Jade. In his
eyes, all that Rocky had done was in vain.
However, the Dark Lord still had some scruples, because he knew that someone protected Rocky now
and seemed not to let Rocky be hurt by him. He also knew who this person was, but he didn't
understand why that person wanted to protect Rocky.
But the Dark Lord was confident in his power over the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Being its rightful master,
he knew that it would always return to him. There was no reason to try and take it away from Rocky.
Looking up at the Dark Lord, Rocky's eyes were cold and paired with a calm yet unnervingly evil
expression. Due to the influence of the evil spiritual power, his whole body began to morph into
something similar to an evil god with a strong aura emanating all around him.
This worried Sabina slightly. It reminded her of when she witnessed what Rocky had turned into last
time at the Hippo Land. She hoped this wouldn't be a repeat of that moment.
As for the other spirit manipulators, they were staring at Rocky in shock. They didn't understand what
happened, but they did know that right now he was quite intimidating.
"His aura looks strange. It doesn't look normal for a spirit manipulator. Also, I've never seen a spiritual
power with such color before..." Erica muttered as she stared in awe at Rocky.
"I'll strike a deal with you, boy. If you give the Sea Blue Magic Jade back to me, I'll spare your life and
forgive you for all that you've done to disrespect me," the Dark Lord magnanimously offered to Rocky.
Upon hearing the Dark Lord's proposal, he fixed his gaze upon the Sea Blue Magic Jade in his hand.
Suddenly, words spoken by a familiar voice bounced around in his head. Immediately, he remembered
and finally understood.
Rocky suddenly opened his eyes wide. The next moment, he slowly relaxed his mind, leaving his body
and mind in a strong influence of the evil spiritual power. Under the influence of the evil spiritual power,
the third layer of the seal in his body began to break and the Holy Dragon Bead's evil spiritual power,
much more berserk than that from the second layer, overflowed and filled his body crazily.
Instantly, the black spiritual power that wrapped Rocky increased. The breaking third layer of seal now
released a darker, more evil spiritual power that filled his body completely.
Everyone was shocked to see Rocky's sudden release of an even mightier power than the one he
displayed earlier.
This startled everyone, including the Dark Lord whose eyes now grew wide in dismay.
As the spiritual power from the seal's third layer continued to rush out, Rocky felt himself losing his
mind. His present body and strength weren't enough to withstand the power of the seal's second layer,
let alone the third layer's power. What he did was extremely risky.
However, the Sea Blue Magic Jade had no problem absorbing all forms of spiritual power regardless of
strength. The power that emanated from Rocky was once again absorbed by the stone.
At the same time, the Sea Blue Magic Jade began to deepen in hue along with a glow that went back
and forth between dim and bright.
While the Dark Lord was seeing this, his expression quickly changed. He rushed towards Rocky, and
several beams of green light were produced with the wave of his hand. These beams then flew towards
the cherry blossoms that protected Rocky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of deafening thuds let out, the lights shot out in all directions, and the spiritual power surged,
which made all the spirit manipulators present constantly retreat. They simply couldn't bear the impact
of the shocking spiritual power.
But after the smoke dissipated, the cherry blossoms were still intact, and Rocky, who was protected,
was unhurt.
"Damn it!" The Dark Lord was now livid.
Soon after, an astonishing spiritual light glowed from the Sea Blue Magic Jade in Rocky's hand.
Without warning, it shot up into the sky like a rocket and emitted a ray of light similar to the black flame.
It began to spin like a top and grew larger and larger as it began to form new shining light spots. This
was quite odd!
