Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1118 The Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring

"To be honest, I don't know myself either. I had this itching desire to save father ever since I heardthat he was still alive. But he is not my actual father..." Rocky's feelings suddenly became a littlecontradictory after he heard the voice from the cave. In fact, as soon as they set foot in the DragonWing Valley, he immediately felt in his gut that this rescue was a little bit too reckless and not wellthought of. Yet, he also felt as if something deep inside of him was driving him vigorously, makinghim feel that his thoughts were normal and reasonable because he was saving his father.Meanwhile, the cave's wall suddenly began to shine like two bright lights. Soon after, a strong gazewas instantly fixed on Rocky.

"I think I know why... It's because your soul doesn't belong to your current body. Moreover, the soulthat really belongs to the body is waking up, so your consciousness has been gradually affected...”The voice in the cave stopped speaking for a moment. After a short while, it then slowly explainedRocky the plausible reason

"What? What do you mean? There's another soul in my body? Can it be..." Rocky's eyes widened inshock. All along, he thought that the real Basil was dead.

If what the voice inside the cave said was true, then that would mean that the real Basil was notdead, and his soul was still in this body. His soul had been in a deep sleep just because it wasoccupied by Rocky's soul.

"Do you often surpass your body's limits and use the power that your body can't bear?" the voiceinquired

Rocky's mouth turned into a frown as he nodded.

"Well, I think I know what's happening now. If you use power beyond your body's limits, it will notonly hurt your body but also your soul. Perhaps you are not aware of this, but your soul has becomeincomplete. Thus, it will cause the other soul in your body to wake up. Moreover, the consciousnessof the other soul will invisibly affect your thoughts, but you won't realize that it is the consciousnessof another soul and not yours. As this happens, you would only think that it is your own thought.That can be the only reasonable explanation for your current situation.” In this way, the voicesuccessfully solved Rocky's doubts.

It could not be denied that it was hard for him to believe what he just heard, but it could also finallyexplain the strange situation that had happened to him. Was his consciousness really affected byBasil's soul that he would have the intense determination to save the emperor this time?

"Perhaps, you may replace my words unbelievable to some extent, and I won't blame you for that.However, you have to believe that the power of the soul is very powerful. The spiritual race wasonce obsessed with souls’ power, causing the extinction of the ancient species. So, young man, takecare of yourself and don't use too much of your power, or you will surely regret one day! Bemindful!" the voice warned in a concerned manner.

"Well, since I'm already here, it will be such a waste if I don't at least try to save my father." Rockysmiled calmly as he finished speaking.

"I've seen that kind of temperament before. It's the same as my daughter's. I can still remember itclearly as if it happened just yesterday. At that time, she rushed into the Dead Valley at all costs tosave me. You are both with loving devotion. But as a father, I know that your father will not behappy once he replaces out that you are risking your life just to save him." The voice cracked slightly asit started to sound a little sentimental.

"So, sir, do you have any idea where my father is now?" Rocky asked with a severe look. After all, thiswas what he came for.

After a momentary silence, the voice broke the dead air and added, "I guess there's only one placehe could be right now, the prison at the top.”

"Okay, got it. Thank you!" As soon as Rocky heard the piece of vital information, he wasted no timeand leaped into the air, flying all the way to the top.

Not long after, he reached the top cave and called, "Father..."

As soon as he called, an old trembling voice echoed from the left of the cave. "Basil... is that you?You're my son Basil, right?"

When Rocky heard the old voice, his eyes widened, thinking that he might have found his father.Immediately, he jumped into the air and flew over to where the sound was coming from. Amidst thedark night, he saw a very haggard figure hazily appear inside the cave. There, the figure sat cross-legged on the ground, like a piece of deadwood. Although the cave lacked an ample amount oflight source, Rocky could vaguely recognize that this figure was the old emperor of the Holy DragonEmpire.

"F... father..." As soon as he came to his senses, Rocky was dumbfounded, and his heart bled in painHe clenched his fists in anger the moment he saw his father's situation.

"Basil... I am not dreaming, am I? It is really... you? W—uwhy... are you here? You must leave... It's toodangerous here..." with a trembling voice, the emperor feebly said.

"Father, I'm here to save you,” Rocky said as he immediately unsheathed the Frozen Wind Daggerand slashed at the wooden fence with all his strength.

Soon after, a burst of flames soared and rushed towards the fence. Light-like the enchanted barriersuddenly flashed in front of it, resisting the power of the Frozen Wind Dagger. Despite this, thewooden fence remained completely intact and unharmed.

Rocky repeatedly attacked the fence multiple times, but the fence still remained the same—nodents, no cracks, still unscathed.

"Th... this cave... has been fortified with... the enchanted barrier... With the power that you havenow... it is impossible for you to break it... D—do me a favor and leave now!" the emperorstammered as he wanted Rocky to leave right that instant.

At that point, Rocky had no choice but to release the power of the sixth layer of the seal in his body.On the way to the Dragon Master clan, he had already removed the power in the sixth layer of theseal and sealed it in the spiritual soul container in his body so that he could use it any time hepleased.

After he released the power, Rocky's aura immediately increased, bursting out the strength at thefifth grade of the Divine Stage. Once more, he attacked the wooden fence. However, it seemed thathis efforts were in vain.

"Basil... your strength... has actually improved to... to such an incredible extent.” At that time, theemperor was surprised to see that Rocky's aura had increased sharply.

"Holy shit!" Rocky cursed and yelled madly as he was frustrated that his methods were no match forthe protection that shrouded the place. He clenched the Frozen Wind Dagger in his palm in anger,his eyes cold with sorrow. What frustrated him the most was the fact that his father was alreadywithin his reach and yet he was still unable to save him because of the god-forsaken enchantedbarrier. In a fit of anger, he smashed his right hand towards the wooden fence.

Meanwhile, as soon as Rocky's fist hit the wooden fence, the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring in hisfinger suddenly lit up, projecting a spiritual shadow in the air. Then, it opened like a spider web andcollided with the enchanted barrier in front of the fence. In no time, shining light flooded the entirecave.

"That's the Hexagonal... Netting Dragon Ring... B—Basil... you have entered... the royal family'sforbidden area... haven't you?" the emperor exclaimed in astonishment.

"Father, the Dragon Master Clan asked me to bring spiritual treasure in exchange for your freedom,so I went to the forbidden area without thinking twice," Rocky responded. At the same time, hefixed his eyes on the power of the spiritual shadows of the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring that waswildly colliding with the enchanted barrier.

"Do you... have the spiritual treasure... with you right now?" the emperor asked, with a noticeabletone of excitement in his voice.

Rocky nodded.

"Basil, no matter what happens, never let... the Dragon Master Clan... take away the spiritual treasurefrom you. Otherwise..." Without warning, the emperor's face changed drastically.

"I've already known everything about the spiritual treasure. Father, please don't worry about it. Ihave a plan, and I know what I'm doing! But, do you know why the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ringis acting like this?" Rocky turned his gaze to the spiritual shadows that continuously shot out fromthe ring. As a result, its constant contact with the enchanted barrier almost covered all of it.

"The Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring... is the Spiritual Weapon... owned by the fifth emperor of ourHoly Dragon Empire... Among all the emperors... of our empire, the fifth emperor was the strongestspirit manipulator...” the emperor said with difficulty, catching his breath in the process. Then, hecoughed a few times and continued, "It is said that he became a spirit manipulator at the peak ofthe ninth grade... of the Immortal Stage... And the most powerful part... of the Hexagonal NettingDragon Ring... is that based on the holder's own will... it will have different forms of attacks ordefenses to maximize the holder's strength..."
