A gigantic figure slowly emerged from the depths of the Demon Sealing Palace. It had in its spirit form,
and it exuded an aura that was between the Shura Realm and the God Realm.
Moreover, behind this huge figure, there were also two relatively short figures. They had long hands
and feet, and it could be easily said that they were not members of the Shura Race.
"The giant demon race? Those three are the strongest warriors of the giant demon race! I can't believe
that they're still alive!" Anya had just broken free from the demoness earlier. When she saw the three
figures that just appeared, she was utterly shocked. She had encountered them before, and they were
actually the ones who instigated a bloody storm in the Ghostly Demon Land, causing a big disaster
back then.
In fact, the giant demon race used to be as powerful as the Shura Race. However, because the Shura
Race was favored by the deity of the Holy-Evil World, they were able to learn powerful secret
techniques. Consequently, the Shura Race suppressed the giant demon race, making them somehow
disappear from the surface of the continent.
But the members of the giant demon race were just waiting for the perfect chance to exact their
revenge. Finally, a thousand years ago, they encountered the demonic race of the Holy-Evil World,
which helped them enter the Ghostly Demon Land. They were tricked into obtaining Phillip's power,
and they caused a huge disaster in the land. At that time, under the orders of the divine race, Anya and
King Corey were tasked to handle this mess. As a result, a fierce war broke out between the giant
demon race and the army led by King Corey. The ancestors of the Shura Race suffered a heavy blow.
Left with no choice, the king entered the state of being a god at the cost of all his strength and used all
his might to eliminate the strong masters of the giant demon race.
Both sides suffered countless losses, and these strong warriors all turned into martial spirits with great
resentment after death. In order to entrap these martial spirits, Anya had to sacrifice herself by sealing
them together with her.
That was why Anya was so shocked to see that the three strongest warriors of the giant demon race—
Coen, Cody, and Callan—were still alive. Back then, the three brothers fought against King Corey, and
their battle lasted for seven days and nights. During that time, no one could guess who would win
because they were evenly matched. But in the end, King Corey prevailed.
"Oh? I see a familiar face! I did not expect that I will see you again after all these years." Coen stepped
forward and was a little surprised to see Anya. He could not help but wear a terrifying smile upon
seeing that there was still a survivor from the ancestors of the Shura Race.
"I'm pretty sure that King Corey annihilated you three by using the God-killing Sword! How did you
survive?" Anya asked in confusion. Apparently, she saw with her two eyes how Corey killed them, so
she was bewildered after seeing them.
"Ha! Didn't you also survive? Don't think that you're the only one whose spirit can leave their body,"
Coen replied with a cold snort. He was kind of annoyed that Anya was underestimating them.
"Brother, the sword that this guy is holding, isn't that the God-killing Sword?" Cody, who was standing
behind Coen, suddenly pointed towards the God-killing Sword in Rocky's hand.
Coen immediately looked at Rocky's hand, and his eyes narrowed upon seeing that it really was the
God-killing Sword. Then, he examined Rocky from head to toe and said, "He must have something to
do with Corey if he can use that sword. However, his strength is much weaker. Even if he can use the
sword, he cannot pose any threat to us. We don't have to worry about him."
"That's what I thought, too. Hey! Now that the enchanted barrier of the Demon Sealing Palace is
broken, why don't we just leave this place together with the Purgatorial Tripod?" Callan instantly
proposed, wanting to leave the place where they were stuck for a very long time.
"I agree. But before we leave, it will be better if we replenished our strength. I can estimate that with the
spiritual power of all these people, it should be enough to recover about thirty percent of our original
strength," Coen sneered, looking at Rocky and the others with a disdainful look.
"Wait a minute. You three should be followers of the demonic race, right?" the demoness butted in. It
was obvious that she was planning to ally with them in order to fast-track her goal.
"And who are you?" Coen's eyebrow raised upon noticing the strange aura that was enveloping her.
"I am the emissary of the demonic race. I am actually here today to release Phillip's soul and bring him
back into the world," the demoness replied with a smile. She exposed her identity, confident that she
could win the three brothers over to her side.
"I see. This woman is a bitch from the demonic race! Are you thinking that we will cooperate with you?
Ha! The demonic race tricked us into taking Phillip's soul before, and look what happened to us. We
were trapped here for many years!" Coen was fuming in anger as he reminisced what really happened
before.
"That is the fault of the Shura Race. As long as you help me, I guarantee you that you can get your
revenge!" the demoness persuaded. She could not afford to lose this opportunity to convince them to
take her side.
"Ha-ha! An emissary of the demonic race? The Shura race's fault? We won't be fooled again by your
kind! Why do we need to cooperate with you? If the three of us can refine Phillip's soul, we can
dominate the entire Shura Continent in no time. We don't need your help." Apparently, Coen already
had a much bigger plan in mind.
"Refine Phillip's soul? Do you want me to kill you?" the demoness quickly retaliated with a threat. She
did not expect that the three of them would blatantly refuse to obey her.
"Don't be so pretentious, bitch. I can clearly see that your physical body cannot hold on for much
longer. You really want to take on the three of us? Fine! You want to expose your soul that badly?"
Coen retorted with a mocking grin.
The demoness's face darkened. She thought that her life would be much easier now that the members
of the giant demon race appeared. Unexpectedly, she gained even more enemies.
On the other hand, Rocky thought that this would work to his advantage. As long as the three brothers
didn't help the demoness, they could still have a chance to win this battle.
At the same time, Anya hurriedly landed beside Rocky in order to protect the Purgatorial Tripod with
him.
With the appearance of the three strongest warriors of the giant demon race, the originally messed-up
situation became even more chaotic. It seemed that a wild battle would be inevitable at this point.
"Your Royal Highness, as the direct descendant of the royal family, I assume that you won't just stand
idly and watch Phillip's soul be taken away by either the demonic race or the giant demon race, will
you?" Rocky shouted towards Zain in a serious tone. He instantly thought that in this situation, he
needed more hands to help him, and he could definitely use the prince's strength. With just Anya and
him, their power might not be able to suppress the demoness. Hence, it would be even more
impossible to deal with the three brothers of the giant demon race, and Enoch and his men all at the
same time. Therefore, if they could at least get help from Zain and his men, there might still be a
chance to turn this around and stop Phillip's soul from being released.
Of course, there was a bit of hesitation on Zain's face. Originally, he planned to fight Rocky so that he
could seize Phillip's power for himself. However, he did not expect that more enemies would appear. If
he and his men acted by themselves, he knew that they could not overcome all of their opponents.
Hence, he thought that if he could team up with Rocky and Anya, they could at least decrease the
enemies first and increase his chance of getting the tripod.
"Obviously, I won't let some demoness or aliens get away with the tripod that contains Phillip's soul.
Fine! I will cooperate with you, but I have one condition. After we repel them, you shall let me take the
tripod," Zain uttered in an imposing manner.
"What? You want me to betray Princess Layla?" Rocky could not believe that Zain would be so
audacious to ask the tripod in exchange for helping him.
"If you can't even agree to this, how do you expect me to believe you? Is the next successor of the king
more important to you than securing the safety of the Shura Continent?" Zain answered coldly, trying to
trick him.
"I could say the same to you! Then, don't help me. Let's see if you still have a place to leave after the
demoness or the giant demon race got a hold of Phillip's soul! I can just stand by and watch while you
struggle to confront them. Let's see how long you can last," Rocky said bluntly. He could not take Zain's
greedy attitude anymore, so he snapped at him.
Zain's face twitched. He did not think that Rocky would be this hard to sway. Obviously, he also knew
that Rocky was right. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation to get the upper hand.
Moreover, if it weren't really for Rocky and Anya, they would not be able to enter the Demon Sealing
Palace. Hence, the prince knew that he had no chance of overcoming the demoness and the members
of the giant demon race without cooperating with Rocky and Anya.
