"The evil power that resides in my body is not the real form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead? Then, what is
its true form?" Rocky asked in surprise. He still didn't quite grasp the entire prowess of the Evil-fight
Divine Bead's evil power, so he wanted to know as much information as he could.
"I can't describe it in detail. I can only tell you that the true form of the bead is much more formidable
than the evil power in your body. Although, yes, the evil power is also pretty strong, it is at most
equivalent to that of the spiritual race." The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast tried to simplify the explanation.
"More powerful than the evil power? That's inconceivable." Upon hearing its description, Rocky was
obviously appalled. The evil power was already considered as something very powerful not only to
humans but also to the spiritual race. If the true form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead was stronger than the
evil power, then it meant that it had completely surpassed the power of the spiritual race.
That much power was just unimaginable.
"Well, you need to worry about it some other time. You have somewhere to go to. You know that
Glutton has a bad temper. If you didn't manage to take out its remains on time, we would not know
what kind of trouble that beast might do to you. Although it can't fully control its reborn body yet, we will
still have a hard time dealing with it. Therefore, it's wise to not provoke it. However, if we are able to
find and take out the remains, we still can't give it that easily," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast warned
Rocky.
"Of course. I know that Glutton is the cunning type who won't keep its promise," Rocky smirked,
knowing how he should deal with the ancient demonic beast. For now, he had to retrieve the remains
first. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the cards when it was time to negotiate.
Then, Rocky gave Ken a signal. It immediately roared and soared into the vast sky, carrying Rocky on
its broad back.
As soon as he left, a strange man clothed in a red robe appeared. Looking at Rocky's back, he
murmured to himself, "This is so boring! Why does the patriarch want me to keep an eye on Basil? If it
weren't for the patriarch's order to keep him alive, that guy would have already died miserably in my
hands!"
The man in the red robe instantly disappeared after seeing where Rocky was headed.
A few days had passed since Rocky left for the Heavenly God Temple.
In the boundless desert at the junction of the Timber Deity Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire, a
colorful light shadow intertwined around the clouds and a light mist flashed in the sky. Soon after, this
attracted several bird-like spirit-manipulated beasts of three to four-star levels, flying over from all
directions. It was as if they wanted to devour the colorful light shadow all at once.
"Here are the troublesome beasts!" The figure on the colorful shadow narrowed his eyes and focused
on the approaching spirit-manipulated beasts. Then, he gathered strong spiritual power and released it.
In an instant, a shadow of a flaming beast shot out. It spread its six wings and the blazing light burst out
in all directions. It sent a wave of devouring fire that engulfed a radius of a few meters.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow of the flaming beast flashed past the spirit-manipulated beasts.
Before they could even make a sound, their entire bodies were burned and charred by the roaring
flames. Soon after, they eventually turned to ashes that were blown and scattered by the wind.
Seeing this, the rest of the spirit-manipulated beasts nearby immediately panicked and let out shrilling
screams. They hurriedly jerked to a halt in the air, turned around and escaped as fast as they could.
"We should be there soon. I can already see it." After sending Uriah back to his Magic Spiritual Space,
Rocky looked down into the Black Sand Abyss and continued flying forward on Ken's back.
About two hours later, Rocky and Ken landed on the ground where a sea of stones lay at the entrance
of the abyss. Under the abyss was a huge primeval forest, which was filled with powerful spirit-
manipulated beasts and supernatural beasts. Back then, he almost died in this place and even got
separated from Ken. Therefore, he couldn't help but sigh upon returning to this place.
Of course, he already learned from his mistakes in the past and didn't have the intention to repeat them
again.
Just as Rocky was about to fly down towards the abyss, the voice of the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast
rang in his mind. "Just go straight to the stone area that you saw after you came out of the Myriad Spirit
Tomb last time. You can enter the tomb directly through it."
Rocky obeyed its suggestion and looked for the stones. As he found them, he walked towards them.
Upon walking in the area, he quickly noticed that the dragon-shaped jade hanging on his chest began
to shine brightly. The light spread out and soon covered his whole body.
With the intensity of the dazzling light, Rocky couldn't help but close his eyes. When the light gradually
dissipated and he was able to open his eyes, he discovered that he was already inside the magnificent
ice tomb. There was still an endless ice surface around the tomb, with tens of thousands of corpses
belonging to the spiritual race beings buried directly under it. As he looked up, he saw that he was
standing under the towering icy tombstone where he had met the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast for the
first time.
"I didn't expect that I'll still come back to this place again," Rocky sighed with a bitter smile on his face.
"Let's proceed to the Heavenly God Temple." The voice of the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast rang again
and directed Rocky.
"Where should I go?" Rocky quickly asked.
"Up there," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast replied and pointed at the sky above Rocky's head.
"What is up there?" Rocky's eyebrows furrowed as he looked towards the strange-looking sky above
him.
"This place was once called the Maelstrom Realms and is divided into three realms. The Myriad Spirit
Tomb covers the first realm, and the Heavenly God Temple is the one located in the second realm. If
the first realm is a normal place on earth, then you can say that the second realm is hell. You have to
be mentally prepared before getting inside. Once you enter the second realm, you will see a lot of
terrifying scenes that you have never witnessed in your life. These could be dangerous for you if you
have a weak mind. You must only follow the route that I will tell you. If you deviated from the right path
even just once, your life would be in absolute danger!" the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast warned in a
serious tone.
"Hell, huh? It doesn't sound pretty nice to me either…" Rocky fixed his eyes on the sky above and
summoned Ken to fly towards it.
However, when Rocky and Ken flew to the same height as the icy tombstone, his view suddenly
changed. He found out that the sky he saw through the Myriad Spirit Tomb was just an illusion that just
looked like a reflection. As they pierced through the sky, it was as if they went into a different world.
Crash! Boom!
While Rocky was still riding on Ken and flying across the sky, a vicious bolt of lightning suddenly
transformed into a thunder radiance that swooped down into a huge black rock not far away from them.
As the thunder radiance made contact with the black rock, it popped back and darted towards Rocky at
an astonishing speed. With its great momentum, it seemed like a move of spiritual martial arts at the
premium level of the Divine Stage.
When Rocky saw that, his eyes immediately widened. He instinctively unleashed the Hexagonal
Netting Dragon Ring to activate the light barrier that was made up of spiritual power to block the fast-
approaching thunderbolt.
With a deafening sound, the thunderbolt exploded as it collided with the light barrier. The impact made
was extremely strong that Rocky was forced to take a few steps back.
"Phew! That was close! I was almost hit by that dangerous thing!" Rocky only put away the light barrier
when he ensured that nothing was going to suddenly attack him. As he looked around the area in front
of him, he was convinced that the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast accurately described the place—it was
really like hell. The sky was almost purplish-black and the clouds were so thick. From time to time,
thunder dragons were shuttling in them.
The vast expanse of the sky seemed to be shrouded in darkness, giving out a melancholic atmosphere.
Strong and cold winds also blew consistently. The place was covered with peculiar-looking black rocks
that came in various forms. Some were large; some were small, and some were as isolated as
precipices, while others were scattered like broken pieces of stones.
