The Medallion

With Rocky able to pass through the cave, Seth and the other candidates also tried their luck. Unfortunately, they were blocked; they couldn't enter the cave. Left with no other options, they were forced to turn back and explore other routes.

Rocky, on the other hand, pressed onward, overcoming any and all challenges that came his way. He moved at an astonishing speed, leaving most of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors and all the low-grade Spiritual Emperors behind. On the other hand, he gradually closed the gap between himself and those ahead of him.

"Seems like I'm near the end of this path. I wonder what kind of trial will be waiting for me there," Rocky murmured to himself when he roughly calculated where he was.

A couple of minutes later, just as he had expected, he came across a strange stone path. The path extended downward, terminating in a huge, dark cave. On either side of the stone path stood various ghost statues, each one with a unique hellish, distorted face.

Making his way along the path, he soon heard noises from up ahead. From afar, he could see two high-grade Spiritual Emperors and five middle-grade Spiritual Emperors were fighting a giant beast. The beast's massive body blocked the entrance to the huge cave and was emitting an ominous black aura.

"It's a diabolic beast!" Rocky exclaimed in disbelief. Although it was no secret that the Holy Heaven Palace was home to countless strange creatures, it was still shocking to see a diabolic beast here.

Moreover, this diabolic beast in particular was as powerful as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.

Despite their combined forces, these participants didn't seem to be gaining any advantage over the diabolic beast. It was obviously giving them a tough time.

Rocky squinted, trying to make out the warriors. To his surprise, he found that Isabel and Lilith were there.

After a few more rounds of futile fighting, some of the warriors began to look discouraged. One by one, they began to retreat.

Towards the end, only two Spiritual Emperors at the premium stage remained, along with Lilith and Isabel. However, things didn't look so good for them.

At some point, the diabolic beast injured both Lilith and Isabel, one after another. The two girls retreated temporarily, long enough to heal themselves.
