At this moment, Rocky had already reached the third grade of the Heavenly Stage. The furious evil spiritual power was rushing through his body. He kept on staring at the Four-wing Lame Dragon at the fourth grade of four-star which was flying up slowly. Rocky was worried about the dragon launching an attack while he was in bad state. So, every move of the Four-wing Lame Dragon mattered and could even result in making him die in the battle.
However, to his surprise, the Four-wing Lame Dragon did not linger there. It turned around and flew away after staring at Rocky for a while.
Seeing this, though Rocky was confused, he sensed it was his best chance. Now, he was getting time to deal with his own problem. But he did not realize that the evil spiritual power had already spread out of his body and had become stronger and denser than ever before. It seemed, even the Four-wing Lame Dragon was afraid of this evil spiritual power. Otherwise it would never have flown away without hesitation.
In fact, with Rocky's current strength, it seemed impossible for him to crack the second layer of seal. Neither his body nor his meridians was in a position to withstand the evil spiritual power suppressed by the second layer of seal.
But now, in order to yield stronger power, Rocky was willing to take risks and break through the second layer of seal, and thereby forcibly increasing his strength and breaking through to the third grade of the Heavenly Stage. But, the critical problem here was addressing the evil spiritual power in his already overburdened body.
Rocky was already in serious pain and hurt due to his breaking through into the third grade. He was not at all in a position to upgrade to the higher grade. In the case of inability to move into the higher grade, his body would not be in a position to accommodate the excessive evil spiritual power.
Rocky's body was like a water tank filled to its maximum capacity. Any extra water dropping into it would result in continuous outflow. However, once the second layer of seal was released, it would also release a portion of the Holy Dragon Bead's power. As a result, his body would not be able to withstand the energy that had been sealed.
But here, his body was more like a water tank placed under a giant waterfall. Even if he were to temporarily release all the evil power out from his body, it would soon get filled back to the brink, as the tank was too small.
In other words, the situation here was the same as before. He had the strength that could surpass the third-grade Heavenly Stage manipulators, but he was not in a position to achieve the higher grade. Moreover, the overflowing evil spiritual power made the situation even worse than before.
Considering the capacity of his body, in order to endure the evil spiritual power, Rocky decided to find a way for releasing the excessive evil power. By doing it, he could release the burden out of his body.
Suddenly, Rocky witnessed some dark shadows rushing over him. Those shadows blotted out the sky and sun above the withered wood forest. After a closer look, he saw about a dozen Four-wing Lame Dragons flying towards him. Their wings were big and powerful. While flapping, they rolled up the wind blades, which then rolled up and crushed the leaves and branches around them.
"It seems the Four-wing Lame Dragon had gone back to call for reinforcements," said Rocky. He frowned tightly as now he was facing the worst situation of facing multiple strong enemies when he was in a poor physical condition. The look on Rocky's face had become serious all at once. If he got surrounded by a dozen of Four-wing Lame Dragons, he would be left totally powerless to save himself from the desperate situation. In this situation, death would be knocking on his door with certainty.
Rocky knew that in order to survive he must remain calm and find an alternative solution. He looked around to find a place for hiding in. But no such place matched his requirements. He knew that the only possible way out of the dead wood forest was through the cliff behind him. However, since he was not the kind of spirit-manipulated beast that could climb rock, it was almost impossible for him to get down from the cliff safe and sound.
But even if he could climb the rock to the bottom of the cliff, it was impossible for him to get down the cliff before the arrival of the Four-wing Lame Dragons. It seemed that in the end, there was no way out of his imminent death.
