Rocky took a closer look and saw that these beast figures, each of which was three meters tall,
resembled a spirit-manipulated beast. However, they had some human characteristics. Presumably,
they had mutated after being injected with the genetic medicament.
Rocky's eyes narrowed as the urge to kill these orcs surged within him. He would never allow his
research achievement to be used like this.
However, before he could act, the orcs besieged Rocky.
They charged straight at him.
As soon as Rocky released his power, a blast of evil wind spiritual wave burst forth, and the orcs
closest to him were thrown away. They fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising clouds of dust.
Astonishment reflected in Rocky's eyeballs as, in just an instant, the orcs sprang to their feet and
hurtled toward him again.
Unfazed that his previous attack didn't work, Rocky summoned his power and waved his hand. Several
streams of black flame spiritual power instantly shot out, and the orcs released agonized shrieks as the
black flames engulfed them and turned them to ashes.
At that time, Geoffrey took the opportunity to retreat into the palace. Meanwhile, several Immortal
Stage spirit manipulators rushed out of the palace. Two of them were old acquaintances of Rocky. They
were the old man in the purple robe and Dudley, who had once competed with him for spiritual
treasures in the sacred place of the Butterfly Divine Clan, and the Water Beast Sea. The other spirit
manipulators were as powerful as the first two.
The Immortal Stage spirit manipulators bombarded Rocky when they saw that he was occupied with
the orcs. In particular, Dudley was the first to attack, intending to avenge himself for his previous
humiliation.
Rocky's eyes narrowed to slits, and his expression turned cold when he sensed the fresh attacks. He
eluded the closest seven or eight orcs and then turned to face the spirit manipulators as his body rose
as though he were stepping in the air.
On realizing that Rocky was preparing to attack them, the spirit manipulators launched their offensive.
As their spiritual light soared, several beams of colorful light shot out, directly covering the area within a
hundred meters, and spiritual waves surged.
The intense spiritual light around Rocky exploded, and a loud bang reverberated as the area within
hundreds of meters was filled with dazzling light.
"Does he want to die? No matter how capable he is, he can't resist our joint strike..." Dudley seemed
overconfident. After all, they were the top masters among humans in the Wild Spirit Land, and few spirit
manipulators were stronger than them. Even in the spiritual race, only the spiritual masters were
mightier than them. Their demeanor was naturally dripping with arrogance.
Of course, it was undeniable that these Immortal Stage spirit manipulators' combined attacks would be
a significant challenge for their target to defend against. While their strong spiritual power impact lasted
for a good while, Rocky, who was shrouded entirely in it, did not move or retaliate.
After a while, Dudley and the others exchanged puzzled glances as they sensed that something was
wrong. They rushed into the center where their attacks fell, only to find remains of the orcs that had
attacked Rocky. Some of them were injured while others had been reduced to a heap of charred ashes.
"Where is he?" Dudley roared. He was not too pleased about being tricked.
In that instant, Geoffrey stepped out of the palace. When he saw that Rocky had disappeared, his eyes
widened. He immediately shouted, "Oh, damn it! That guy must have gone to save Woods. Hurry up!"
The spirit manipulators glanced at each other before vanishing. Geoffrey, together with the other
peerless masters at the Divine Stage, followed them. The palace guards also headed in the same
direction.
On the other hand, Rocky, who had remained hidden for a long time, approached the royal palace
where Woods was imprisoned. According to the previous night's investigation, he learned that Woods
was being held captive in the royal palace and that only a few spiritual race beings guarded him. Erring
on the side of caution, Glutton arrived just before Rocky made his way toward the square of the hall.
Rocky had created chaos and waited for an opportunity to hide as he wanted to confirm whether
Woods was in the royal palace. If the spiritual race beings guarding the palace didn't move, it meant
that Woods was still inside. Glutton's tasks were to follow the guards if they moved and learn where
they were holding Woods.
"How's it going?" Rocky asked when he spotted Glutton at the royal palace.
"He should be here. Tell me something, brat. Why should I run errands for you?" Glutton remarked
disdainfully. It appeared as though his bad temper was still the same.
As Rocky was already used to it, he ignored Glutton's complaints. Instead, he turned his gaze to the
royal palace. At least two hundred members of the spiritual race beings were guarding it. Most were
spiritual slaves. And the rest twenty ordinary spiritual beings at the middle and advanced levels and five
spiritual masters at the low and medium levels caught Rocky's attention. It seemed that they were
expecting him.
"I'll handle the spiritual race beings first. Please block the pursuers for me. Remember to show them
some mercy!" Rocky threw Glutton a sideways glance. He knew that once the beast leaped into action,
it would kill them all. Nevertheless, he still warned Glutton because he had to use those human spirit
manipulators to fight against the spiritual race. It would be a waste if they died.
He knew to expect some casualties. It would take him a while to deal with the spiritual race beings and
Glutton would have its fun in that time.
However, as a belligerent beast, Glutton was always eager to fight. Thus, when several human spirit
manipulators chased Rocky, it laughed wildly and turned into a light shadow in the blink of an eye.
Simultaneously, the black flame around Rocky surged, and he rushed directly toward the royal palace
with significant momentum.
The spiritual race beings guarding the royal palace were expecting Rocky and had hence, prepared
accordingly. However, pangs of fear surged in their hearts when he materialized in front of them like a
meteor. Rocky had terrorized so many spiritual race beings that his name was like an omen of death.
Once he appeared, no spiritual race being could escape catastrophe.
However, the spiritual race members led by the five spiritual masters had also received a death order.
Under no circumstances could they allow Rocky to save Woods. They had no choice but to confront
him.
The next moment, they charged at Rocky.
Rocky summoned his three beasts without any hesitation. The power of the Flaming Blade in his hand
surged; as a result, several spiritual race beings were burned to ashes. Then he rushed to the royal
palace.
Although the five spiritual masters and twenty ordinary spiritual beings collaborated, they could not
suppress Rocky's momentum. He cleared a path right through them. Once in front of the royal palace,
he waved the enormous Flaming Blade, and a wave of flame surged out and struck the gates.
