"We've worked together before, but we still failed to defeat this diabolic beast," one of the Spiritual
Emperors at the premium stage said with lingering fear.
"Before, we were but a few, so the diabolic beast had the upper hand. Now that we're many, we might
just stand a chance!" Seth egged on.
"I agree. If we don't join forces, no one will be able to get in there," Michelle agreed immediately,
nodding profusely.
"What if someone's just pretending to join hands, when they actually plan to take the first opportunity to
get in there first?" Eunice questioned in a loud voice, shooting accusing looks at the likes of Michelle
and Holden.
Hearing this, the other Spiritual Emperors hesitated. What Eunice said was true; they couldn't trust
some of the people here.
Meanwhile, as they discussed among themselves, Rocky finally broke past the diabolic beast's
defenses and entered its spiritual sense. However, even then he was still fiercely resisted.
The diabolic beast's resistance came in the form of memories. Rocky inadvertently received images of
the diabolic beast's past, most of which were related to the Shura Race's sacred place.
'It seems it was imprisoned in the Holy Heaven Palace for some reason.' When this thought crossed his
mind, Rocky tried to communicate with the diabolic beast using his spiritual sense. He simultaneously
released the holy power of the Shura Race, hoping to let the diabolic beast feel the familiar aura.
It didn't take long before the diabolic beast's spiritual sense started to calm down, its resistance
gradually ebbing away.
"Who are you?" An ancient and aged voice rang in Rocky's ears.
"I'm the Godly Genius of the Shura Race, the heir to the power of the former king of the Shura Race,"
Rocky responded.
"The Godly Genius? Heir to the power of the former king of the Shura Race? No wonder you have the
holy power of the Shura Race's royal family." The voice sounded again.
"Why are you imprisoned here, sir?" Rocky asked not unkindly.
"I'm not imprisoned here. Actually, I'm here by my own will," the diabolic beast replied.
"What? Why?" Rocky was stunned.
"It's been a long time. Forget it! Since you are the heir of the Shura Race's king, you must be qualified
to pass the test of the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den. I will let you in," the diabolic beast replied
dismissively.
"Thank you very much, sir," Rocky said gratefully. "But I hope you can let me in along with the other
Spiritual Emperors."
"No way. I'm the guardian here. This is my duty," the diabolic beast said firmly.
"Among the Spiritual Emperors I mentioned, there are other Godly Geniuses of the Shura Race. We
came here after taking the test given by the gods. If we can't continue the test here, we can't complete
the test of gods!" Rocky explained insistently.
The diabolic beast lapsed into thoughtful silence. Finally, it said, "Well, fine—but just this once. I won't
do this again!"
"Thank you, sir," Rocky said gratefully, withdrawing his spiritual sense immediately.
After a lengthy discussion, the Spiritual Emperors finally decided to join forces to fight against the
diabolic beast. They had arrived at the conclusion that only by working together did they have a fighting
chance.
Just as the Spiritual Emperors were about to make a move, Rocky suddenly turned around and
announced, "Listen, everyone, there's no need for you to join forces!"
All the Spiritual Emperors looked at Rocky with surprise. What on earth did he mean?
"If you don't want to fight along with us, just get out of our way!" Holden snapped impatiently,
concluding Rocky was just there to get in the way of their efforts.
"Just take back your spiritual power and follow me," Rocky said cryptically, ignoring Holden's hostility.
Then, he took the lead and pulled back his spiritual power, while nodding to Valeria and the other two
girls.
Although the three girls didn't know what Rocky was up to, they still trusted him. Soon, they followed
suit and took back their spiritual power.
At this time, Rocky started walking confidently towards the diabolic beast. If the diabolic beast suddenly
attacked, he would be doomed.
Seeing this, all the other Spiritual Emperors exchanged anxious glances, wondering whether Rocky
was crazy or not.
When the diabolic beast saw Rocky approaching, it suddenly raised its head and roared with
astonishing ferocity.
The Spiritual Emperors present knew Rocky was done for. After all, he was doing nothing but provoking
the diabolic beast!
However, to everyone's surprise, the diabolic beast suddenly shifted its huge body and retreated to the
side, creating a path for the entrance to the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den.
Jaws dropped in shock.
Of course, the three girls were also shocked, but they were also very relieved that they had followed
Rocky's instructions. The three walked behind Rocky, slowly making their way to the den.
Lilith and Isabel, who had received the medicine from Rocky moments earlier, nodded at each other
and seemed to reach an understanding regarding Rocky.
Soon, Rocky and the girls made their way past the diabolic beast undisturbed.
This scene made Michelle and the other Spiritual Emperors eager to get in as well.
However, as soon as they approached the diabolic beast, it suddenly extended its long tail, blocking
their path.
Fear was written all over their faces. They didn't dare to move forward.
Seeing that Michelle and the other Spiritual Emperors were stopped, Eunice and her companions were
also perplexed. They could tell that the diabolic beast didn't want Michelle and the others to pass.
Rocky turned to look back over his shoulder and frowned slightly. "Didn't we make a deal?" he called
out to the diabolic beast. "Let them join us, or I'll get bored from the lack of competition!"
Hearing this, the diabolic beast looked down at Michelle and the other Spiritual Emperors dubiously.
However, it obediently retracted its tail, staring at Michelle and the other Spiritual Emperors with its red
eyes.
All the other Spiritual Emperors, on the other hand, were absolutely flabbergasted.
"Did that man just tame the diabolic beast?" a Spiritual Emperor wondered aloud.
"No way! How is that possible? I don't believe it!"
"I don't think so either. If he did, he would be practically a god!"
"Why are you all still standing there? Come here quickly, or it may change its mind and won't let you
pass!" Rocky shouted.
Stunned, the Spiritual Emperors didn't dare to stay a moment longer and immediately passed under the
watchful eyes of the diabolic beast.
"Let's go." Michelle, together with Holden and the two Spiritual Emperors at the middle stage, followed
closely.
Thanks to Rocky, Michelle and other Spiritual Emperors successfully stepped foot in the Myriad-
tribulation Devil Den.
And this news immediately made its way outside the Holy Heaven Palace, causing another huge
sensation.
