The Medallion

Rocky walked with quick steps around the tower-shaped buildings, going deeper with no hesitation. His movements were fast and determined because he didn't want to spend more time here than was needed. The temperature was too high. He needed to find the spiritual treasure as soon as possible. After walking for a while, he came upon a wide stone path with stone doors that were almost ten meters high. At the end of this path were huge stone steps, and a circular altar with a diameter of a hundred meters stood at the end.

This altar was surrounded by blazing flames that reached dozens of feet high, and it was emitting a strong spiritual power.

"It seems like the flames around the altar is an enchanted barrier. If so, then the spiritual treasure should be inside it," Rocky murmured thoughtfully.

As he approached the altar, a powerful aura fell from the sky, stopping him on his tracks. In the next moment, the ground shook up and down as if an earthquake had struck.

Rocky looked around wildly and saw a figure that was even bigger than a spirit-manipulated beast at the six-star level on the right side of the altar. It landed somewhere amid the tower-shaped buildings. Based on what it looked like from a distance, it could be an eagle or a phoenix, as it had feathers that glinted and shone like they were on fire. It also had three heads that resembled an eagle's, while its eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. Three thick, long tails helped it steer mid-flight, and like its feathers, its tail was brightly shining as if it was alight with flames. The creature's flaming visage left burn marks wherever they passed.

Of course, the most amazing thing was the aura it released. Its aura was above the seven-star level, and it was a guardian beast.

It was said that the strength of a spirit-manipulated beast at the seven-star level was equivalent to that of a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage, let alone a guardian beast. Therefore, the strength of this guardian beast must be off the charts.

spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage would fail to approach it, let alone the ordinary spirit manipulator," Rocky said seriously. His eyes
