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 pce 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 theyers 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 nce 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 maniptors 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 spectacr.
Generally speaking, when a spirit maniptor reached the Divine Stage, he would either be the
chief of a n like Alexander, who devoted himself to develop and strengthen his n, or he could
be themander 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 maniptor.
With that said, most of the spirit maniptors would choose thest option because most of the
peerless masters who had reached the Divine Stage were at least decades years old. If a spirit
maniptor could reach the Divine Stage, his lifespan would also increase a little, but there would
alwayse a day when he could die prematurely. Therefore, if a spirit maniptor wanted to reach
the highest state and arrive at the peak that countless spirit maniptors dreamed of, he had to

be 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 maniptor.
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 asion, 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 maniptor 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, toe 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 shed 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 tform and came to the front of the emperor.
Woods followed on his brother''s heels.
"Your Majesty, Woods and I are just having a beastpetition. Right, brother Woods?" Geoffrey
exined in a hurry, looking meaningfully at Woods.
"Yes. He is right, Your Majesty," Woods replied in a hurry.
"If it is a beastpetition, 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 be 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?"
