CHAPTER 989 A PEERLESS MASTER

Hearing this, all the people present were struck dumb. The emperor of the state, who hadn't left the

royal palace for nearly a year because of illness, suddenly came, which was naturally very surprising.

Everyone was standing now, and their eyes were all focused on the direction of the voice, including

Rocky, Geoffrey, and the others who were still confronting each other.

Soon, a group of silver and golden armored guards rushed into the beast arena like golden waves, and

they lined up on both sides of the arena. It could be soon seen that golden decorations were floating

over them like clouds, and under the layers of these decorations, several figures slowly emerged and

walked toward them.

The man who stood in front of the crowd was wearing a fine wooden cyan robe with a golden crown on

his head. He was about sixty years old, and his sideburns were tainted with gray and white. Even

though he looked a little stooped as if he had been seriously ill for a long time, it did not hide his innate

royalty, which made him appear imposing despite his age and weakness. His eyes were as bright and

sharp as a young man's.

"Master Lucas, is this the emperor?" Rocky whispered to Lucas, who was standing beside him. As the

prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, he didn't expect to meet the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire in

such a situation. As he spoke, he called Ken back to the Magic Spiritual Space.

Lucas nodded immediately.

After that, Rocky noticed that Alyssa was also following behind the emperor of the Timber Deity

Empire. Besides them, two old men had arrived as well, and both of them looked more powerful than

Alyssa. He could tell at a glance that the two old men were big shots from the powerful auras they had.

"The one in the white robe seems to be as powerful as Bryant. Is he also a peerless master at the

Immortal Stage?" Rocky murmured to himself, as his eyes fell on one of the two old men. He was

dressed in a white robe, with sharp eyes, a full forehead, and silver-white hair. Despite the hair, he

didn't look very old.

Rocky's guess was right. The old man in a white robe was one of the spirit manipulators in the Timber

Deity Empire who had reached the Immortal Stage. He was one of the most powerful men in the Wild

Spirit Land. And he was also one of the senior statesmen of the Timber Deity Empire royal family and

known as the 'Holy Lord in Surplice' in the Wild Spirit Land. His name was Nester Nangong.

Although the other old man beside Nester didn't reach the Immortal Stage, he was also at the superior

level of the Divine Stage. He was also one of the founding members of the royal family of the Timber

Deity Empire.

The two elders and Alyssa, along with Lucas and the other two masters at the Divine Stage, were the

most brilliant figures in the Timber Deity Empire. The fact that these big masters had gathered here

was spectacular.

Generally speaking, when a spirit manipulator reached the Divine Stage, he would either become the

chief of a clan like Alexander, who devoted himself to develop and strengthen his clan, or he could

become the commander in chief of an army, who would protect his country. Lastly, he could also

cultivate in seclusion to pursue the highest state of a spirit manipulator.

With that said, most of the spirit manipulators would choose the last option because most of the

peerless masters who had reached the Divine Stage were at least decades years old. If a spirit

manipulator could reach the Divine Stage, his lifespan would also increase a little, but there would

always come a day when he could die prematurely. Therefore, if a spirit manipulator wanted to reach

the highest state and arrive at the peak that countless spirit manipulators dreamed of, he had to

become stronger. For people in their decades, glory, wealth, fame, and fortune were all just like passing

clouds. Their only pursuit was to reach the highest state of the spirit manipulator.

Therefore, in the Timber Deity Empire, there were not many active masters at the Divine Stage like

Alexander, Lucas, and Master Sherman. This was the case not only in the Timber Deity Empire but

also in the Holy Dragon Empire, and the Magic Phoenix Empire, and so on.

That was what made the gathering of these peerless masters at the Divine Stage or even the Immortal

Stage on such a grand occasion, and not one of the spectators could contain their excitement. They

had dreamed about something like this all their lives, but none of them actually thought that it could

happen.

As the emperor of Timber Deity Empire, the two elders, and Alyssa showed up, everyone stopped

whatever they were doing and greeted the emperor in unison, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor of the Timber Deity Empire let his sight roam over the whole field with his sharp,

intelligent eyes. Although he was sick, he still had a majestic demeanor about him. Back then, the

emperor of the Timber Deity Empire was also a spirit manipulator above the Divine Stage, and his

strength was astonishing. However, he was seriously injured in the battle with the emperor of the Holy

Dragon Empire, who was the nominal father of Rocky. He almost died that day. And even though he

survived in the end, his strength had declined greatly, and his body continued to grow worse each day.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he was so strong, he would not have lived to this day.

In the end, the eyes of the emperor fell on the two sides in the confrontation. Sensing the smell of

gunpowder from both sides, the emperor immediately spoke in a slightly angry voice and shouted with

great power, "What's going on here?"

Of course, Geoffrey and Woods didn't expect their father, the emperor, to come to the beast arena in

person. If they had known this earlier, they would not have made a move. The emperor hated it when

his children fought and killed each other, regardless if it was in a public battle or in secret. Thus, the two

princes could not help the fear that flashed in their faces, as they were both worried that the emperor

would be furious at what they had done.

At the same time, Geoffrey jumped onto the viewing platform and came to the front of the emperor.

Woods followed on his brother's heels.

"Your Majesty, Woods and I are just having a beast competition. Right, brother Woods?" Geoffrey

explained in a hurry, looking meaningfully at Woods.

"Yes. He is right, Your Majesty," Woods replied in a hurry.

"If it is a beast competition, there's no need to send so many people into the field!" the emperor said in

a domineering manner.

"You two better stop covering up the truth! Your Majesty, Geoffrey and Woods almost had a big fight

just now. They are going to tear down the beast arena." At this time, Prince Algy, the eldest child of the

emperor, exposed the two, just to add fuel to the fire.

The other three princes followed their eldest brother and nodded in agreement.

The face of the emperor darkened, and he looked like a volcano that was about to explode.

Seeing this, Geoffrey and Woods immediately broke into a cold sweat. Since the emperor saw them

break the ban with his own eyes, it was not easy for them to muddle through. Moreover, several other

princes were waiting to see their fate. Tomorrow, if they were still alive, they would be the butt of every

joke.

At this time, Alyssa's eyes fell on Rocky. She had guessed that it must be because of Rocky that

Geoffrey and Woods were having such a fierce fight. She said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Geoffrey

and Woods are just fighting for fun. With Master Lucas and Master Sherman present, I doubt that a real

fight would start..."

The emperor nodded at this. He restrained his anger and said, "I will let you two go this time, but make

sure that this won't happen again! Otherwise, you should know the consequences of doing this! You

are brothers and not enemies. It does not matter who will become the new emperor in the future, you

must try your best to help whoever he is. If you fight with each other now, how can I rest peacefully

when I pass the throne to any of you?" holds © this.
