CHAPTER 728 STRENGTH DEVOURING

"That's exactly what I wanted to say," Rocky managed to choke out. It was a struggle to grasp at the

last bits of his rational thoughts with his head drowning under the impact of the violent evil force

released from the third layer of the seal. Despite the pain, Rocky held on by reminding himself that he

couldn't be swallowed by the evil power before Alston was dealt with.

No matter how hard he tried, he was also aware that he didn't have much time. Either he ended Alston

or Alston would end him.

In the blink of an eye, Rocky disappeared and instantly showed up right in front of Alston, emitting so

much evil spiritual power it immediately overwhelmed Alston.

"That was fast!" Alston exclaimed but managed to quickly wave his spear to defend.

Even though the Frozen Wind Dagger was always in the shape of a slim dagger, it suddenly changed

into a giant flaming blade and chopped down lightning-quick towards Alston.

A loud bang resounded when the flaming blade heavily slammed on the handle of the spear. On the

other hand, the spear trembled under the tremendous pressure it endured and Alston lost all feeling in

both of his arms.

When they made contact, Alston immediately sensed the violent force warring inside Rocky, and he

quickly paled. Even worse was that the power became even stronger by the second. There was no

hesitation as Alston dragged himself away and stretched his hands out until countless green and purple

spiritual swords appeared above him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spiritual swords shot towards Rocky and fanned around him, spreading their spiritual power that

carried thunder. It was a unique martial skill for the imperial members, called the Green Thunder

Sword. It compressed Thunder spiritual power into spiritual swords, and among the spiritual martial arts

of the same level, Green Thunder Sword was definitely the top of its class.

In the past, Alston had defeated Rocky with the same move. But Alston hadn't mastered this back then,

but now, the power of the Green Thunder Sword was much more powerful than before. Anything that

came close was destroyed by the sheer impressive power it carried.

For a moment, Rocky disappeared within all the thunder and made no move to fight back.

"Where is he?" Alston scanned his surroundings with wide eyes.

A black light rushed out of the radiance of thunders as the Flaming Blade turned into the Evil Flame

much to his disappointment. The fire roared out into a ten foot wave and washed over Alston's body in

an instant.

Just when he was about to turn around and retreat, a dragon appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

A dense net of thunder and lightning wove together as it shook its giant body.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out as if the earth was splitting for a mountain to rise and it echoed in the air

for a long moment. Blinding light flashed one after the other as the Evil Flame attacked the thunder net

in unending waves of flame and the spiritual power spread as far as several meters around them.

Spark flew in all directions and as the fire and thunder roared, it was as if the end was nigh.

It took a while but eventually, peace slowly returned as the last echoes of thunder faded away from the

air. owns this text.

"Good job, Furious Lightning Dragon! Let's take his life together!" A smug smile painted Alston's face

for all of a second before his eyes snapped wide open and he screamed, "Spirit Possession!"

The Furious Lightning Dragon suddenly turned into a ball of thunder radiance and merged with Alston.

In the blink of an eye, Alston's skin was covered with blue and purple dragon scales, two dragon horns

laid on his head, and a huge tail trailed behind him. A spear crackling with lightning was imposingly

held in his hand and he looked the very picture of a god of thunder dragon.

Alston stepped into the fifth grade of the Supernal Stage after the Spirit Possession, a level above

Rocky's current strength even when he had successfully released the third layer of the seal.

"Go to hell!" Alston yelled with renewed confidence and rushed towards Rocky quick as thunder.

On the other side, Rocky blankly stared at Alston's Spirit Possession, the last of his sanity escaping

him no matter how tight he tried to hold on. He threw in all his faith behind his decision.

Instead of showing fear as Alston approached, Rocky remained blank and waved the Frozen Wind

Dagger as he rushed towards Alston.

Two figures shining with the same spiritual flame surging collided again and again, becoming more

destructive by the moment. Everything burned wherever they passed.

As time ticked by, Rocky and Alston were getting closer and closer to the end of their ropes.

Rocky's body was only a step away from the collapsing while Alston's Spirit Possession had reached

its time limit. If it was forced to last any longer, Alston would suffer the side effects and would most

likely die, whether he had killed Rocky or not.

They pushed themselves as hard as they could. However, it seemed that Rocky's limit came first. The

Evil Flame and spiritual power gradually became more and more unstable. He was tethering on the

verge of losing control.

When Alston was hit with the realization that Rocky was about to reach his extreme, he turned into a

thunder shadow and flew for more than ten meters into the air. An electrifying thunder radiance burst

out of his spear and it was as dazzling as the sun at high noon. Their surroundings were alight by the

powerful aura of the Supernal Stage.

"Roar!" A roar ripped out of Alston's throat as he dashed his spear downward towards Rocky. His

spear, together with the surging spiritual power, turned into a thunder shaped dragon which bared its

teeth and rushed down from the sky, aiming straight at Rocky.

A blue and purple thunder radiation followed after and it brightened the sky in colorful flashes. Dozens

of meters within its shadow, everything was burnt down. Smoke rose up and flashes of thunder sparked

as the remaining spiritual power filled the air.

Alston dropped to the ground not far from the burned area. A triumphant smile stretched his lips as the

tension in his shoulders finally disappeared. He couldn't sense Rocky no matter how hard he tried. It

meant that Rocky perished under his powerful attack that even his bones had been burnt into ashes.

He finally did it.

The pride he felt didn't last long as a figure appeared within the dense thunder. He approached slowly,

step by step, and the thunder radiance disappeared, more exactly, was devoured by the flashing black

Evil Flame around him wherever he moved forwards. Alston couldn't rip his eyes away and he could

only stare slack-jawed when he found something similar to the Dragon Spirit Mark all over his

opponent's body under his ragged clothes.

Rocky could only adsorb spiritual power with his left arm before, but now, he could use every inch of his

body. In just a moment, the surrounding spiritual power that Alston's thunder left was all attracted

towards Rocky and as time went by, the black Evil Flame around him rose higher and became even

bigger.

However, the more power he absorbed, the more lethal it would be to his body, not to mention that he

was already halfway into the grave already. Everything was a blur to him except for Alston who was the

one clear thing in his hazy surroundings.
