"Are you worried that it might have some unwanted effects on you? Although it is a demonic treasure, it
doesn't really affect you. In fact, Corey used it before to cultivate souls and spiritual energies." Phillip
tried to reassure Rocky as he recognized the young man's concerns.
At the same time, Rocky tried to search Corey's memory regarding the Demonic Goblet. Then, he saw
that Phillip was telling the truth.
Phillip continued to urge, "Take it. If you want to rule the entire Shura Continent, it will definitely come in
handy."
Of course, Rocky still hesitated for a moment. He then weighed the pros and cons and arrived at the
conclusion that at the moment, he needed everything to improve his strength. He had already decided
to face the royal family of the Shura Race, and if he did not possess sufficient strength, he could not
triumph over his opponents.
"All right, I'll take it. But I will feel bad if I take it without giving anything back. After all, this is such a
magnificent treasure. Is there anything more that I can do for you instead?" Rocky asked just so he
could be fair.
"I believe that it was destiny that allowed us to meet. I admit that I used to be an unforgivable demon,
but my fiendish nature has already vanished long ago after I have been sealed here for countless
years. In fact, right now, I am just an ordinary old man. If only the Heavenly Demon Tower doesn't
restrain my vital energy, I would have used my own power already to eliminate myself. I continue to
exist, but at this point, I just want someone with enough power to destroy me for good. Since you are
Corey's successor, I think I can ask this of you. If you really want to do something for me, I am
requesting you to end my existence," Phillip said in a calm tone.
"I see. Well, let me think about it. One day, if I am already strong enough, I might come back here and
destroy you. Until then, you can just stay put in this place. Anyway, I'll take the offer and use this
demonic treasure," Rocky replied without fully committing. Although he could feel the sincerity in
Phillip's words, he still couldn't afford to fully trust him.
After handing the Demonic Goblet over to Rocky, Phillip also taught him how to use it.
Since Rocky was a fast learner, it did not really take that long before he memorized the method. "Sir,
I'm ready. Please send me back!"
"You can just use the treasure to leave this space," Phillip replied.
Hearing this, Rocky quickly gave it a try. He then raised the Demonic Goblet and released its spiritual
power according to the method that he just learned from Phillip. The next moment, the void surrounding
him began to vibrate. Afterward, Rocky's body, which had been floating in the void all this time,
suddenly lost its balance and felt a sensation that it was rapidly falling. In a flash, he was swallowed up
by the darkness.
The next thing Rocky saw, he had already returned on the fifth floor of the Heavenly Demonic Tower.
'Whew! I didn't expect that I will stumble upon such a big secret. Moreover, I got a powerful treasure
that can help increase my strength. I guess this trip is really worth all the trouble!' Rocky stared at the
Demonic Goblet in his hand and smiled contentedly. However, he realized that it was not yet the time to
relax. Now that he had returned to the fifth floor, he still had to deal with the king of the giant demon
race again.
But at least now, he already knew how to subdue him. With the help of the Demonic Goblet and the
Purgatorial Tripod, Rocky was confident this time around. Soon enough, he stormed out to lure the king
of the giant demon race out.
The moment the king of the giant demon race noticed that Rocky had suddenly reappeared, he
immediately used the Heavenly Demon Voice again. Obviously, he did not want Rocky to escape once
more.
Not long after, the waves caused by the Heavenly Demon Voice spread throughout the floor and
aggressively came at Rocky.
However, Rocky was prepared this time. He then raised the Demonic Goblet and shook it twice.
Immediately after, the goblet released a demonic light that countered the waves of the Heavenly
Demon Voice.
At the same time, the king of the giant demon race was stunned to see that Rocky was holding the
Demonic Goblet. He seemed to have knowledge about it, and he quickly rushed away to avoid the light
that was produced by the goblet.
"Gather the spirit now!" Rocky shouted. At his order, the power being released by the goblet steadily
increased. In an instant, the body of the king, which was in a spirit form right now, was pulled strongly
towards Rocky.
Seeing that the Demonic Goblet was being effective, Rocky drew out the Purgatorial Tripod from the
Magic Spiritual Space and threw it towards the king of the giant demon race.
Afterward, the tripod shot out a red beam of light that dispersed the spiritual body of the king. Soon
enough, under the power of the Purgatorial Tripod, the king of the giant demon race turned into specks
of light and was completely sucked into the tripod.
"Wow, that was easy!" Rocky was impressed by the combined powers of the Demonic Goblet and the
Purgatorial Tripod. Just as Phillip said, it was a formidable combination against spiritual beings. After
that, Rocky took the tripod back into the Magic Spiritual Space.
Then, he continued walking towards the entrance to the sixth floor.
Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Demon Tower, the royal members, including the king, already
decided to leave. All of them knew how hard it was to pass through the tower. Even the most powerful
ones would at least take ten days before they came out. Therefore, they felt that it was a waste of time
to wait for Rocky there because he would not be able to come out in just a day.
Only Layla and her followers patiently waited for Rocky outside the tower.
Eventually, three days passed.
During the past three days, the king sent some of his men to check if there was any progress, but it
seemed that Rocky was still stuck inside the tower.
"Your Royal Highness, don't you want to go back first and have a rest? I will stay here in your stead
and wait for the Godly Genius," a female member of the Shura Race offered to Layla. She was actually
over forty years old and had been a confidant of the princess over the years.
"No, thanks. I am fine. Besides, I have a feeling that Odin is about to come out very soon," Layla
replied with a faint smile.
"Pardon me, Your Royal Highness, but I highly doubt that. Even a high-level warrior at the Shura Realm
usually needs at least ten days in order to finish all the floors of the tower. It has only been three
days..." the woman respectfully said.
"Well, Odin is an extraordinary fellow, and he always surpasses everyone's expectations. So, I think he
should be coming out soon enough," Layla stressed out. It seemed that at this point, the princess was
already very confident of Rocky's abilities.
"Even if he is powerful enough, I still think that three days are not sufficient. You can wait for him in the
palace instead," Layla's confidant advised.
However, just as the two of them were still in the middle of conversing, a dazzling light suddenly
flashed from the uppermost part of the Heavenly Demon Tower, as if it had been activated. Soon
enough, a circle of light also appeared at the entrance of the tower.
Then, a familiar figure came walking out.
"It's Odin!" Layla could not help but exclaim in elation the moment she recognized that it was indeed
Rocky who got out of the tower.
Even Layla's confidant, as well as the masters responsible for guarding the tower, showed an
astonished expression upon seeing this.
After all, since the establishment of the Heavenly Demon Tower, even the previous rulers, peerless
masters, and grand elders spent at least five days before they came out of the tower. Ordinary elders
needed at least ten days. What was more, ordinary masters at the Shura Realm could only reach the
third floor at most and could not pass all of the floors.
However, Rocky, whom they thought was not even on par with an ordinary Shura Realm master,
managed to pass through the Heavenly Demon Tower in just three days.
At this moment, Layla quickly rushed to Rocky and welcomed him back.
"Odin, how are you able to come out so soon? Are you okay?" Layla expressed her admiration, but she
also wanted to make sure that he was fine.
"Yes, I'm okay. By the way, where is the king?" As he went out of the tower, Rocky noticed that only
Layla and her followers were there, along with the guards. The king and the other royal members, who
accompanied them before, were nowhere to be seen.
"Well, they all thought that you will not come out so soon, so they decided to go back in the meantime,"
Layla bluntly replied.
"I see. Let's go. We need to see the king right now," Rocky uttered with a serious face.
Layla knew from Rocky's tone that he had something urgent to tell the king, so she immediately
nodded, and they went straight to the king.
