The commander of the spiritual race army was extremely infuriated by the sneak attack that the human
army just launched. However, there was no way for him to take charge of the overall situation because
he was being held back by Rocky.
"Lowly humans! You are such despicable creatures!" the commander bellowed. As he cast an icy glare
at Rocky, the spear in his hand suddenly danced in the air, releasing a strong power that immediately
enveloped his opponent.
"Despicable? You're one to talk! Aren't you the ones who invaded the human territory?" Rocky
responded with a sneer. Then, he wielded his Mystical Dragon Sword, unleashing an overwhelming
sword force that instantly resisted the attacks of the enemy commander.
"Because you humans are like greedy animals! You even sowed the discord between our race and the
Shura Race! So, don't blame us if we want to retaliate for your actions!" The commander's face
distorted in anger, thinking that Rocky was just spouting a lot of nonsense.
"What?" Rocky's eyes narrowed when he heard the words of the commander. He felt that the enemy
was not lying, but at the same time, he knew that it should be impossible. After all, the human race was
the weakest among the three races in the Supreme Ether Land. Hence, how could a weak race be the
reason for the dispute between the two stronger races? Rocky instantly thought that there was
something fishy going on.
However, before he jumped to any conclusion, the most important thing at the moment was to
completely repel the forces of the spiritual race and retrieve the Sky Fog Plain.
Since Marcia and Moore had splendidly accomplished their job on launching the surprise attack, as
long as Rocky could capture or defeat the enemy commander, then the spiritual race army would no
longer be a threat.
Therefore, Rocky didn't waste any more time and immediately summoned the Purple-flaming Phoenix
to greatly strengthen his fighting power.
"Humph! A spiritual beast?" The commander was actually surprised to see Rocky summon a powerful
spiritual beast, but he was not the least intimidated. At the same time, he whistled as if to summon
something. Immediately after, a huge eagle with a physique not inferior to the Purple-flaming Phoenix
descended from the sky with incredible momentum. It turned out that the creature was at the medium
stage of the Spiritual Infant.
Not long after, the two spiritual beasts engaged in a fierce battle in midair.
At the same time, Rocky and the commander also clashed and did their best to bring the other side
down.
In terms of overall strength, both sides should just be on the same level. However, Rocky possessed
the Mystical Dragon Sword and the Magic Icy Armor. Therefore, little by little, Rocky gained the upper
hand.
After fighting for quite a long time, the two warriors had almost reached their limits.
At this point, the commander was fully aware that he could not underestimate Rocky's strength and
tenacity. Thus, if the battle dragged on, there would be a huge chance that his army would be
completely annihilated. Therefore, he had to end their battle as soon as possible. Then, all of a sudden,
his spiritual power burst out from his body. An overwhelming aura surged and instantly enveloped him,
making his strength increase drastically.
'Damn it! Is he forcefully breaking through to the Emperor Realm?' Rocky's eyes widened and felt that
his heart sank. He tried to convince himself that it was very difficult to suddenly break through to the
Emperor Realm. Besides, if the conditions weren't perfectly met, he would definitely spiral into
madness.
However, Rocky couldn't shake off the possibility that the commander would pull it off. If that happened,
he and the entire human army would be in deep trouble. Of course, he wouldn't just sit idly and wait for
their death. Hence, he immediately waved his Mystical Dragon Sword and rushed towards the
commander to give him a fatal blow.
At the same moment, the commander suddenly burst into laughter. He raised one of his hands up high,
and a huge black hole instantly appeared above his head. Then, it sucked Rocky's spiritual power into
it. However, it didn't stop there. Even the spiritual power of the warriors within a few hundred meters,
including Marcia and Moore, was also absorbed in it, gradually reducing their fighting power.
Seeing this, Rocky couldn't help but grit his teeth. He didn't expect that the commander would suddenly
use an incredible skill that would absorb others' spiritual power in order for him to break through to the
Emperor Realm. It was clear to him that if he couldn't stop the commander, the consequences would
be dire and unimaginable for them.
However, he also had to be very careful. Once he got too close to the black hole, his spiritual power
would be absorbed further.
Rocky thought that the only way to deal with this was to absorb the spiritual power into his body first
before the commander did. Of course, this was also a very risky idea. Even if he became successful in
stealing the spiritual power from the commander, there was no assurance of what could happen next.
He had cultivated a divine body once in their previous world, but his divine power had disappeared the
moment he entered the Supreme Ether Land. Although he did recover a part of it recently, it was just a
drop in a bucket compared to what he had attained before. Hence, he wasn't sure if his body could
bear the burden of such a huge amount of spiritual power.
However, time was ticking and he didn't have much of a choice. Thus, he opened his eyes and
revealed a determined expression. Instantly, he turned into a lightning shadow that bolted towards the
commander in incredible momentum.
As expected, as soon as he approached the commander and the black hole, his body rapidly lost its
spiritual power. Moreover, he was pulled into the black hole as if it wanted to devour him whole.
"Do you want to be a hero? Don't bite off more than you can chew!" the commander mocked Rocky
when he saw the young man rushing towards him desperately. At the back of his mind, there was no
way that Rocky could possibly stop him at this point.
However, the commander underestimated Rocky's brilliant mind and determination. As soon as he got
close to the commander, he immediately took out the Scarlet Heaven Jade and threw it into the black
hole. The jade itself had the ability to absorb spiritual power and souls, so he thought of using it to
quickly absorb the huge amount of spiritual power that was being sucked into the black hole before
transferring it into his own body. This way, he could greatly reduce the impact of the spiritual power on
himself.
After the jade reached the black hole, it suddenly shone brightly. Then, in an instant, it began to devour
all of the spiritual power present there.
Soon enough, the commander discovered what Rocky was trying to do and saw that the spiritual power
that he was absorbing began to weaken.
"Damn you!" As soon as the commander realized the special function of the Scarlet Heaven Jade, an
evil grin appeared on his face and a cunning thought entered his mind. He swiftly rushed to the jade,
intending to take it as his own.
However, the moment the commander approached the jade, he was immediately shocked by the
seething power from within it. Caught off guard, he instantly exploded and turned into ashes that
dispersed into the air. At the same time, a strand of light, which turned out to be the commander's soul,
was sucked into the jade.
"Humph! Your greed led you to your doom. You deserve this kind of ending!" Rocky remarked coldly as
he shook his head.
At this moment, the Scarlet Heaven Jade had already absorbed all of the spiritual power in the black
hole. At the same time, the light continued to dazzle and had somehow become extremely unstable.
Seeing this, Rocky immediately took the jade. The moment his hand made contact with it, a massive
amount of spiritual power instantly rushed into his body. Then, the spiritual power overflowed and
enveloped his whole body.
Meanwhile, the spiritual race army was thrown into chaos upon seeing that their commander was killed
by Rocky. Consequently, they immediately lost their will to fight and their combat power sharply
declined.
In about four hours, more than twenty thousand members of the spiritual race army were slaughtered.
On the other hand, the army led by Marcia and Moore only lost about a thousand people, which was an
absolute victory on the side of the human army.
However, Marcia and the others still felt very anxious upon seeing that Rocky was surrounded by the
blinding lights from the Scarlet Heaven Jade. They gathered around Rocky to check on his situation,
but they didn't dare to get close to him.
"Commander Marcia, what is happening to Deputy Commander Basil?" Moore couldn't help but ask as
he didn't understand what exactly was going on.
"I actually don't know either," Marcia said as she clenched her fists.
"But he will be okay, right? I mean he is Basil." Eunice tried to be optimistic, but it was obvious that
there were hints of anxiety in her voice. After all, Rocky hadn't returned to the Di Clan with her yet.
Thus, if anything bad happened to him, she would definitely be blamed for it and would even be
punished for the failure of her duty.
"We do not have a choice but to wait and see what will happen. Deputy Commander Moore, please
lead the troops and evacuate a hundred meters away from here," Marcia ordered decisively.
Since Marcia's position was higher than Moore's, he instantly nodded in agreement and did as he was
told.
