Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the blink of an eye, the Spiritual Emperors that were charging at Rocky seemed to have crashed into
an invisible wall. They were obviously discombobulated as they were bounced away. As an effect, their
spiritual energy also became disordered. In fact, the two Spiritual Emperors at the medium stage, who
were a bit weaker, even spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. As they regained their senses, their faces
looked ghastly pale as if they were seriously injured.
After the Spiritual Emperors got back on their feet, they could not help but look at Rocky in horror.
Although they did not see Rocky make a move just now, there was no one else to attack them besides
him. Therefore, logically, it should be Rocky who had repelled them. However, they were also confused
since his aura indicated that he was just a primary-stage Spiritual King. Hence, it was also impossible
for Rocky to restrain the Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race all at the same time.
Even after thinking for a while, they couldn't figure what just happened. They were utterly dumbfounded
and just gave up. At the same time, they were also astonished by the fact that Rocky was still able to
block the attack of the Ice Phoenix.
It meant that while he was resisting the violent cold wind of the Ice Phoenix, Rocky also repelled
several Spiritual Emperors. Of course, upon realizing this, they were stunned to their core.
Meanwhile, the attack of the Ice Phoenix was still increasing. It appeared as if it was growing more
irritated at Rocky, so it wanted to finish him off.
However, Rocky had no choice but to keep the Ice Phoenix busy by restraining its attack with his
fighting energy at the Mystery Stage. After all, he needed to buy some time for Vivian and Alex to
successfully get the divine treasure from the lair.
But unexpectedly, the Ice Phoenix seemed to have sensed something and suddenly stopped attacking
Rocky. Then, it turned its head and flew back to the lair.
"Damn it! They've been found out!" Rocky cursed as his face darkened. He didn't expect that even with
the treasure that could hide one's aura, the Ice Phoenix still managed to detect the two ladies. Now, if
he couldn't stop the beast, all their efforts would be in vain.
Under normal circumstances, he could easily release Rubygon to deal with the Ice Phoenix. However,
the situation wouldn't permit him since there were too many people watching him. Once he released
Rubygon, his identity might also be exposed. After all, Rubygon was a mighty diabolic beast, and only
the powerful warriors of the Shura Race should be able to control one. Without any other choice, he
could only rush directly in front of the Ice Phoenix to stop it from leaving. He had to hold on until Vivian
and Alex could come back.
With Rocky's persistence, the Ice Phoenix grew more agitated. Seeing that Rocky was standing in front
of it again, it immediately let out a harsh cry, and anybody could sense its anger. Then, it suddenly
raised its head, and a spiritual ball of ice suddenly condensed in its mouth. Afterward, the spiritual ball
grew bigger and bigger. Just by looking at it, one could tell how disastrous it would be if someone was
hit with it.
As the huge spiritual ball seemed to have reached its peak, the Ice Phoenix suddenly threw it towards
Rocky.
The spiritual ball contained fully condensed power of the Ice Phoenix. Hence, judging from the aura it
was emitting, the Spiritual Emperors estimated that the damage it would cause would at least affect the
area within a thousand meters.
With this, the spirit warriors realized that the situation was unfavorable for everyone. Except for a few
Spiritual Emperors who were confident that they could withstand the attack of the Ice Phoenix, the rest
of them began to scamper and retreat. They didn't dare to stay where they were, fearing that their lives
would be in great danger.
A moment later, the icy spiritual ball hit Rocky's body. Then, at the same time, a force close to the
Shura Realm burst out, sweeping around and spreading throughout a thousand meters. It made the
surroundings shake violently as if everything would be destroyed.
Seeing this scene, the spirit warriors broke out in a cold sweat. Based on the intensity of the power that
the Ice Phoenix just unleashed, they were sure that it was impossible for Rocky to survive it.
However, before the Ice Phoenix could smash Rocky to pieces with such an aggressive attack, two
delicate figures suddenly rushed out from the lair.
At the same time, a transparent ice wand in the hand of one of the delicate figures suddenly flashed,
making a luminous ice light envelop the area. In an instant, the power of the spiritual ball that was
hurled at Rocky dissipated without a trace.
Moreover, the next moment, the Ice Phoenix's huge body suddenly grew even bigger. Then, it turned
into an icy blue light that flew directly into the ice wand. Not long after, it disappeared like a starlight and
not even a shadow of it was left.
After the rapid turn of events, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Of course, the spirit warriors who were watching this scene were all left speechless. They didn't notice
when the two beautiful figures entered the lair. Now that they had gone out, they possessed a powerful
ice wand that even suppressed the Ice Phoenix in a snap.
These two delicate figures were none other than Vivian and Alex, and the one who controlled the ice
wand was Alex.
At this moment, Vivian and Alex had already come to Rocky's side.
"Wait a minute. Is that a holy treasure that can summon a beast spirit?" Soon enough, a premium-stage
Spiritual Emperor connected the events that transpired before them. From the look in his eyes, he was
not able to hide the greediness after seeing the ice wand in Alex's hand.
Hearing what the premium-stage Spiritual Emperor said, the others also revealed their covetous
nature. In an instant, all of them became hostile towards the three who managed to successfully
acquire the treasure.
In fact, if they knew that the ice wand was actually a divine treasure, they might have not wasted any
time and already rushed towards them like madmen.
"Your speculation was right, Rookie. The spiritual beast was indeed summoned by this treasure," Alex
remarked. With excitement on her face, she raised the ice wand and showed it to Rocky. The ice wand
was emitting a glittering crystal luster, and it looked very precious.
"There's no mistaking it. This should be a genuine divine treasure! It's not some kind of imitation.
However, I can see that its real strength is still being sealed. Otherwise, the spiritual beast it summoned
should be more powerful than the Ice Phoenix that we have encountered," Rocky analyzed. Since he
had seen countless treasures from the palace, he was now very knowledgeable and sensitive when it
came to the power of divine treasures. At first glance, even the Shura Race's masters would think that
it was just a holy treasure, but in fact, it was a real divine treasure. Although it was not on the level of
the God-killing Sword, it was still extremely invaluable for the spirit warriors of the Supreme Ether Land.
"Why don't you give it a name?" Vivian told Alex.
"Hmm. Since it can summon the Ice Phoenix, then let's call her Ice Wand!" A straightforward name
instantly appeared in Alex's mind that was appropriate for the divine treasure.
"I see, that sounds nice." Rocky nodded, agreeing to Alex.
On the other hand, since Alex had just obtained a divine treasure, this naturally made the other spirit
warriors feel terribly envious. Therefore, the atmosphere turned tense all of a sudden. Of course, Rocky
and the two ladies could also feel it.
"We'd better leave as soon as possible. I can see that these people won't let us leave in peace if we
don't hand the divine treasure over," Rocky said as his gaze swept around. In order to avoid any further
conflict, he thought that they should escape the scene as fast as they could.
Hence, at Rocky's signal, the three of them instantly headed for the mountains at the end of the snow
land.
"Those three are running away. It means that the wand is at least a holy treasure! We can't just let them
go away with it!" a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor yelled, obviously unwilling to yield the treasure. He
started reasoning that they had fought with the Ice Phoenix for a longer time. Then, the three just
suddenly appeared and took advantage of the situation to grab the treasure without anyone noticing.
The spirit warriors immediately reached an agreement and hurriedly went after Rocky and the two
ladies.
Since the strength of Rocky and Vivian was far more powerful than what they thought, the three were
able to escape with ease. No matter how hard the spirit warriors chased after them, they couldn't catch
up with them at all.
