"What is happening? The diabolic beast is actually obeying that Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan? This
is just inconceivable!"
"How could that happen? Isn't he just a low-grade Spiritual Emperor? I really am starting to doubt that
it's true!"
"Is there a reason why he could do this? Does he have a secret skill that we don't know of?"
For a brief moment, all kinds of speculations from several Spiritual Emperors could be heard. Of
course, they were astounded by the latest feat that Rocky just pulled off.
"I know that he really is talented. But I still did not expect that he would be able to subdue and
manipulate a diabolic beast. I have to admit that even I am extremely surprised," Colton murmured to
himself. But afterward, he just felt more admiration for the young man. He thought that he was yet to
see the extent of his capabilities.
Meanwhile, Rocky and the other candidates had already reached the end of their trial path and were
about to take on the last challenge--the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den.
The name itself already sounded terrifying, but the place was indeed full of horrifying dangers. The
cave was thousands of meters deep beneath the ground, and rumor had it that it was composed of
hundreds of floors. Moreover, each floor was filled with strange things that would not make the lives of
the participants any easier.
In fact, even the strongest Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan had only reached up to the hundredth floor
beneath.
At this moment, Rocky and the others took quite some time just standing in front of the cave's
entrance. As they peeked down at the bottomless cave, they could not help but feel a shiver down their
spines. After all, they did not know what kind of danger was awaiting them inside.
"Is there anyone here who knows what kind of trial this is? What are we expecting once we are inside?"
Michelle asked at once as she glanced at her fellow participants.
However, most of the Spiritual Emperors shook their heads. But since Eunice was a member of the Di
Clan, they could not help but all look at her expectantly, believing that she might know even a bit of
information.
"This cave is called the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den. According to the Spiritual Emperors of the Di Clan
who had already entered it before, the cave sounds like its name. There are over a hundred floors full
of different trials and dangers. As far as I know, no one had ever completed all the floors ever," Eunice
remarked.
"Then, how do we even pass this challenge? What will be our cue that we accomplished the test?"
Seth asked, a bit confused about Eunice's explanation.
"The Di Clan has set up a teleportation array on the one-hundredth floor. As long as we can reach it, it
means that we would already pass the test. But just a warning, only very few people were able to make
it so far. I don't want to scare anyone off, but it seems that we are indeed unlucky to face this challenge
so soon," Eunice said in a gloomy tone. In fact, the end of this trial path could be said as the most
difficult one among the nine. Moreover, passing through the cave meant that one would not be able to
enter any other trial path. If he failed here, he would have to start all over again.
"Humph! Only the weak ones would be afraid to confront something like this. I am not saying that it will
be easy, but I don't believe that this Myriad-tribulation Devil Den is enough to make me cower in fear!"
A high-grade Spiritual Emperor suddenly spoke up. With a disdainful look on his face, he went ahead of
the rest of the participants and immediately walked down the stone steps to proceed to the first floor.
Soon enough, the other high-grade and medium-grade Spiritual Emperors followed suit. After all, their
only choice was to move forward. Everyone thought that they should cross the bridge when they got
there.
After a while, Michelle's group also started going down the cave.
At this point, only Lilith, Isabel, and Rocky's group were left at the entrance.
Then, Isabel, who had just taken some of Rocky's pills to recover quickly, turned to Rocky and said, "I
want to thank you for the medicine that you gave me just now. If you want, I can protect you while we
are inside the cave. Think of it as my way of repaying you."
"It's all right. You don't have to do that. I can handle myself well. Besides, I am with these capable
girls," Rocky politely refused and waved his hand.
"I see. Then, I'll go downstairs first. I guess I'll just see you there." Knowing that what Rocky said was
true, Isabel did not insist anymore. Then, she wasted no time and proceeded inside the cave.
"Um... I will go with you!" Lilith turned towards Rocky this time and blurted out.
"Okay then." Upon hearing that Rocky did not object, Eunice and the other girls could not help but
exchange glances.
Obviously, they were a bit surprised at Rocky's response. They felt that another woman had fallen for
Rocky's charm yet again. It was as if wherever he went, there would always be beautiful women that
would inevitably show their affection towards him.
At the same time, Rocky took another glance at the cave before them. Although he was sure that he
had never been there before, he had a feeling that the place was very familiar to him.
'Does it mean that the king of the Shura Race came here before?' This was the only explanation that
he could come up with. After all, this kind of feeling would not emerge out of the blue. If the king of the
Shura Race did come here before, then the sense of familiarity must be coming from his memories.
Of course, even if the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den was indeed a hellish place, with Rocky's real
strength, he would be able to easily deal with whatever they could encounter here.
Soon enough, Rocky and the girls eventually took the stone steps and began their journey towards the
abysmal cave.
Meanwhile, the other candidates, who were taking the other trial paths, were suddenly attacked by the
diabolic beasts that appeared out of nowhere. Instantly, it caused a huge panic among the participants.
Fortunately, they were able to fend for themselves and didn't suffer too many losses.
Immediately after, this issue was reported to Colton.
"What did you say? How is this happening in so many places at the same time?" Colton was obviously
shocked after hearing the report. After all, he did not arrange any diabolic beasts to guard the other trial
paths. Hence, he was confused as to how they suddenly appeared in multiple locations and even
attacked the participants.
"Sir, did you not arrange this?" The representatives were quite confused at Colton's reaction because it
was as if he had no knowledge of it.
However, Colton immediately realized that this might be done by the Godly Geniuses of the Shura
Race. Therefore, he could not help but let out a frown, knowing that he could not reveal this information
to others. Eventually, he just nodded and said, "Yes, I did."
"But sir, I think it's better if you withdraw these diabolic beasts as soon as possible. If this goes out of
control, there will possibly be cases of unnecessary casualties!" one of the powerful representatives
urged at once.
With his quick-thinking, Colton immediately came up with an excuse and said, "They cannot be
removed right now. However, each candidate has a teleportation rune. If ever they can't resist these
diabolic beasts, they can readily use that to get out."
Not expecting that this would be Colton's response, the representatives were rendered speechless.
On the other hand, the Spiritual Emperors, who had entered the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den, were still
treading down the spiral stone stairs.
These twenty candidates were divided into three groups. The first one was primarily consisted of the
high-grade Spiritual Emperors, while the second one was comprised of the middle-grade Spiritual
Emperors. Then, the last group was Rocky together with the girls.
Since the high-grade Spiritual Emperors were indeed very powerful, they were able to quickly get past
the first floor.
At the same time, Rocky's team had just reached the first floor of the cave. There, they saw that the
area was not that big. It was just about a hundred square meters, and the stairs leading to the second
floor were at the other end.
However, within the floor, they were hindered by a few little monsters enveloped in green flames. In
fact, they were only the size of a palm and looked non-threatening.
But when Rocky stepped forward, the fiery little monsters suddenly started throwing green fireballs
towards him.
At first glance, the fireballs seemed to be rather harmless. But the moment Rocky avoided them and
they made contact with the wall, the fireballs directly melted it.
Even the four women standing behind Rocky were very surprised to see this. They did not expect that
these feeble-looking monsters actually possessed such terrifying power.
"Don't move!" Rocky immediately warned the girls. He wanted to assess the strength of the fiery
monsters first, so he did not want the girls to take a risk and move rashly. Afterward, Rocky gradually
moved forward by using his bodily movement skill.
While doing so, the little monsters didn't move in their place. Instead, they just kept shooting those
vicious green fireballs at a rapid pace. If one was hit by it, he would instantly be in danger.
Then, after testing the extent of the strength of the little monsters, Rocky eventually headed back to the
four women.
