CHAPTER 777 A NEW JOURNEY
"Are you trying to stop us? You might be more powerful than us as individuals, but you'll never win
against the both of us. You'd need to be a master at the Supernal Stage to do that!" the thin man
sneered, thinking that Rocky was just boasting.
"The Supernal Stage? If your last wish before your death is to see my strength at the Supernal Stage,
then your wish is my command." Rocky flashed a sinister grin. The aura round him became dark and
enveloped him in a cloud of evil.
His aura was at the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage. When his black spiritual power rose like
flames, it could not be put out. Soon, the entire area was enveloped by the evil aura.
Rocky looked evil, as if he just rose from hell. His face wore a cold, emotionless expression, and his
eyes pierced with deathly glares. It seemed like he was preparing to destroy everything in front of him.
He had fully transformed into a demon and was lingering between reason and madness. The audience
in front of him trembled with fear.
The thin man and his brother looked awestruck as they stared at Rocky's rising aura.
When the aura reached the eighth grade and then the ninth grade, Rocky's black spiritual power burst
and shone around his body. Then, the aura at the Supernal Stage rushed out of his body and shot in all
directions, reaching everything within a radius of dozens of meters.
"Is that... the Supernal Stage?!" the tall fat man uttered with a trembling voice.
"He really is a master at the Supernal Stage!" the thin man exclaimed. He was still trying to
comprehend the situation when he realized their lives were at stake. Unknowingly, they had provoked
the wrong person.
"Hurry up and run away," the thin man ordered the tall fat man.
As they ran, Rocky's lips curled into a cold and evil smile. He flicked his wrist and two black flame
dragons wrapped around his arms. Gradually, they grew in size.
Then, when they were large enough, they flew out of his arms and chased after the two brothers.
Quickly, the two black flame dragons caught up. Instantly, before they had the chance to resist, the
brothers were swallowed up whole. Two rays of strong black light shone inside the dense forest
followed by loud piercing screams.
After, the spiritual power around Rocky withdrew and he returned to his normal state. When he did, he
stared at the two burned corpses on the ground. "That might be my first time to release the power at
the Supernal Stage from the third layer of the seal, but I must say it feels quite good. I might easily get
used to it. But I need more time to merge with the power sealed within the third layer."
Throughout his stay in the Xiao Clan, Rocky practiced controlling the power on the seal's third layer. He
was worried of releasing too much power and losing control, so he halted his practice the moment the
power almost reached the Supernal Stage. To kill the two brothers, he had to go beyond the Supernal
Stage. His adaptability surprised him. The only problem was that he was yet to fully integrate with the
power on the seal's third layer. Thus, he was only able to maintain it for about half an hour. If he held
on a little longer, his body might give up. He felt the tiredness enter his body. He realized that it wasn't
too wise of him to use up his energy, especially without Sabina's help. If he did so, he would put himself
in grave danger.
HIs strength was sufficient to defeat a master at any grade of the Heavenly Stage, but it was not
enough if he wanted to return to the Holy Dragon Empire and confront Alston. He had to fuse with the
power on the seal's third layer or else he would risk suffering. He did not want to repeat his mistake last
time when he was unable to protect Sue. He no longer wanted to see anyone die for him.
Then, Rocky left without looking back. He summoned the Rainbow Glow Unicorn and flew into the sky.
As soon as he was gone, a figure emerged in the forest. He looked at the two corpses on the ground
and immediately let out a gasp. His shadow trembled beneath the trees. "Oh my God!" he muttered.
"Who killed these two masters at the Heavenly Stage from the Qi Clan? Could it be that brat? Is he
really capable of this? That's impossible. He's not that powerful. Oh my. I need to head back to the Qi
Clan and seek safety. I might be next if I stay here any longer!" Then he left in a hurry.
Two hours later, Rocky reached the edge of the desert, riding on the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.
"It looks like I'll be spending a lot of time in the desert. I have no idea how long I need to reach the
abyss." Rocky squinted under the heat. As soon as they reached the desert, the Rainbow Glow
Unicorn and Rocky started walking. He couldn't risk getting attacked by groups of bird-like spirit-
manipulated beasts. Flying was too risky.
From what Rocky knew, the abyss was located in the south of the desert. Thus, if he continued walking
south, then he should be able to find it.
'I wonder what kind of treasure is at the place that the map was referring to, ' Rocky thought.
'I need to find the place first. Then I can look for the treasure when collecting the experiment samples. I
should also use my time to cultivate and fuse with the power on the third layer of the seal. It won't be
long before I can return to the Holy Dragon Empire.' Rocky looked up at the boundless blue sky and
sighed.
He had not heard of any news pertaining to his betrayal of the Holy Dragon Empire, but it could just be
because he was in the border city of the Timber Deity Empire, and he had stayed in the city for only a
few days after all. The news might have not reached there. However, Rocky also hoped that Woods
simply kept his promise and let go of Sabina and the others. Maybe they would clear his name after
returning to the Holy Dragon Empire. Rocky figured he shouldn't be too worried about being framed.
But still, he knew he had a lot of things to deal with once he returned. The peace he felt was just
temporary.
Rocky shook his head. There was no use thinking about such things. He patted the Rainbow Glow
Unicorn as they traversed the desert to look for the treasure. holds © this.
