The Medallion

Rocky believed that his Imperial Soul was strong enough to withstand the Divine Nether Flower's power.

With no hesitation, he released his Imperial Soul and activated his spiritual power at the same time to absorb the Divine Nether Flower's power. His body ached with all his might as he tried to withstand its sheer strength.

It came flooding into his veins, filling both his body and soul with a power he had never experienced before.

But much to his surprise, the holy power residing within him repelled the Divine Nether Flower's power, causing a violent reaction inside him.

The powers surged destructively into Rocky's meridians at an extremely fast speed.

He felt his body was about to implode at any moment.

His bones ground against each other, sending a numbing pain all across his body. It broke and rearranged itself over and over again.

But to his bad luck, this was only the beginning!

It took a gruesome six hours for Rocky to finally get over the first stage. After all, this was just another trial that he had undergone.

But to his credit, both his mind and will were as strong as steel, making it able for him to endure it all.

Then without any sign, the flesh and skin all over his body began to crack, allowing pints of blood to seep out and cold air to enter underneath his skin. He experienced pain ten times worse than the last one. He let out a loud cry into the sky, hoping to alleviate some of it.

Much like in the previous stage, his bone-dry skin healed and cracked again and again.

Another six hours passed by at a snail's pace.

Hard as it was to endure, Rocky finally made it through the second stage.
