Using the God-killing Sword, Rocky rushed towards Israel and easily suppressed him. Thus, in an
instant, Rocky gained the upper hand again.
Under his direct control, the God-killing Sword launched a swift barrage of attacks, slashing in every
direction and unleashing a frightening sword force.
Seeing this, Israel didn't dare to confront it head-on. With all his might, he tried to avoid and fly away as
far as possible. However, the God-killing Sword was incredibly fast that it instantly caught up with him.
Through the continuous suppression of the God-killing Sword, Israel was forced to focus on defending,
and this eventually put him in a passive position. At this moment, the fight became one-sided again, in
favor of Rocky.
Soon enough, Israel's strength finally began to decline. It seemed that his primitive power had reached
its limit after being used for such a long time. Since Rocky gained the upper hand right now, he took
advantage of the opportunity to ensure his victory. After more fierce exchanges of blows, Israel finally
revealed a major flaw in his defense, resulting in him being hit by the God-killing Sword at point-blank.
Immediately after, Israel let out a roar of pain. But of course, he was not going to easily give up.
Despite the unimaginable pain, he still tried to rush towards Rocky.
At the same time, Rocky utilized his Devilish Phantom Skill, creating several avatars to confuse Israel's
sight.
Now that Israel was so desperate and couldn't think calmly, Rocky released a few more sword forces in
rapid succession, quickly and accurately hurting Israel in the process.
Stimulated by all the pain and hatred, Israel had almost lost his mind and become even faster than
before. Soon enough, he was able to eliminate the gap between him and Rocky.
"Take this! Evil Spirit Shadow!" Out of nowhere, Israel emitted a dreadful black spiritual fog from his
body and quickly condensed it into an enormous soul shadow that blocked off the sky and the sun. It
appeared to be a gigantic evil spirit with an overwhelming aura.
Similar to when Quentin summoned the Spectral King, the onlookers were instantly terrified since this
kind of power clearly did not belong to the human race or the spiritual race.
However, even though the people were already doubting Israel's real identity, they could do nothing at
this point but continue watching the battle.
As soon as the Evil Spirit Shadow was fully summoned, the look in Rocky's eyes became rather cold.
At a glance, he knew that this evil spirit was not condensed through ordinary power but by the power of
a god's soul. If it roamed freely, it would be a massive bloodthirsty devil that could kill whatever it met
without batting an eye.
Just as Rocky suspected, the moment the Evil Spirit Shadow started moving, it released beams of evil
light that shot out in all directions, targeting even the people in the audience.
With this, many people were injured or killed on the spot.
The onlookers were so frightened that they started running for their lives, dispersing in various
directions.
At the same time, the Evil Spirit Shadow pounced on Rocky. Its giant spiritual arm fell from the sky like
a humongous pillar, aiming to smash Rocky into a puddle of blood.
Rocky was well aware that if he didn't stop the rampage of the Evil Spirit Shadow as soon as possible,
it would only create further chaos and cause more casualties. Therefore, he held the God-killing Sword
with his own hand and used it to confront the Evil Spirit Shadow.
In an instant, a bright sword light flashed out of nowhere. Immediately after, Rocky's figure pierced
through the shadow's huge arm, directly cutting it off.
However, it was not yet enough to incapacitate the Evil Spirit Shadow. Moreover, it got even more
enraged that its other arm quickly rushed towards Rocky.
At the same time, Rocky's figure fully merged with the God-killing Sword, turning into a sword light with
unmatched speed, flying towards the Evil Spirit Shadow.
Swish! Swish!
Due to Rocky's brutal attacks, the Evil Spirit Shadow was instantly torn into countless pieces,
dissipating into thin air.
As the giant Evil Spirit Shadow disappeared, Israel spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then, he lost
consciousness, making him fall to the ground. It seemed that the Evil Spirit Shadow consumed all his
strength. Hence, when Rocky defeated it, it took a huge toll on Israel's body, rendering him seriously
injured.
Even though it appeared that Israel could no longer fight, the onlookers still felt scared. At the same
time, they could not help but be stupefied at the result of the match.
It was clear that Israel had reached a level of strength that was impossible to be attained by both the
human race and the spiritual race. However, he was still taken down by Rocky. Of course, no one knew
that Rocky had also reached the Shura Realm, and if he exerted his strength to the fullest, Israel was
indeed not a match to him.
Just a few moments after Israel fell to the ground and lost consciousness, a figure suddenly appeared
beside him.
He carried Israel in his arms and cast Rocky a cold glare before flying in the air and disappearing
without a trace.
Rocky just stared back and did not make a move to stop him from leaving. He already knew that the
person who took Israel away must be a strong warrior from the Primitive Fief. Of course, he could not
make any rash move. Even though he wanted to stop him, he deemed that it wasn't the smartest move
right now. After all, he didn't know what this unknown warrior could do. He might even try to hurt more
people just so they could escape.
The people present also saw how Israel was taken away from the middle of the stage, but it seemed
that after everything that happened, they did not have the ability to react properly anymore. They just
stared blankly at Rocky, who was still standing in the middle of the stage.
Soon enough, an elder from the Di Clan finally announced that Rocky won the ultimate battle of the
Spiritual Emperor Contest.
Obviously, this result was beyond the onlookers' expectations. Since Rocky did not openly show his
strength at the Shura Realm, they thought that it was inconceivable for him to defeat someone who had
clearly reached the Shura Realm.
Of course, after this battle, there would even be more speculations and rumors about Rocky.
However, Rocky had no time to deal with this. After all, defeating Israel here in the contest was just a
small victory for him. His main goal was to win the battle of the Godly Geniuses in order to return to his
original world.
Even though he managed to win against the other Godly Geniuses this time, it was much more difficult
to win the final battle in the end. After all, it would also be the battle among the fiefs. If he wanted to win
it all, he had to start by conquering the other fiefs and making them swear their loyalty to him.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, Rocky eventually left the battle ring. Outside the arena,
Lilith and Carla hurriedly welcomed him.
"Basil, congratulations! You really did great there!" Carla was the first to congratulate him, wearing a
huge smile on her face.
"We were all shocked. Even I did not expect that you have the strength to defeat that kind of
monstrosity!" Lilith also chimed in, expressing her admiration.
"Well, thanks! By the way, I am actually in a hurry to visit a friend. Carla, can you come with me?"
Rocky asked. He actually wanted to see how Valeria was doing.
Carla immediately nodded, knowing what Rocky wanted to do.
"Lilith, I'm sorry but we have to go. Let's talk later!" With that, Rocky hurriedly left with Carla, leaving
Lilith behind with a disappointed look.
On the way to Valeria's quarters, Carla could not help but look at Rocky from time to time. It was as if
she wanted to ask him something, but she was having second thoughts.
"Come on. Just say it if you have anything you wanna ask me." Rocky finally said something since he
already noticed Carla's actions a while ago.
"Okay. Can you tell me the truth? How strong are you for real?" Carla asked bluntly.
"Will you believe me if I tell you?" Rocky returned the question, letting out a faint smile.
"Of course. If you say that it is the truth, then I'll believe you," Carla answered firmly.
"Fine. I have actually reached the Shura Realm," Rocky said without hesitation.
"What? Really? The Shura Realm? This is more shocking than what I've thought of!" Although Carla
was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she heard it straight from Rocky's mouth. She
clearly knew the implication if he had already reached the Shura Realm. It meant that right now, no one
in the human race or the spiritual race was stronger than him.
Of course, this came as a shock since when she first met Rocky, he was just a Spiritual King. She did
not expect that he had already broken through to such an unreachable realm so soon. Naturally, his
rapid progress made her feel so inferior.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't expect this to happen at all. Perhaps, this is fate." Rocky sighed while
looking in the distance, letting out a bitter smile.
