The Medallion

"Fine! If you really don't have any intention of surrendering the Purgatorial Tripod, you need to prove that you have sufficient strength to protect it," the king said after thinking for a while. At this moment, he was already worried about Enoch's rebellion. Hence, he deemed that he could not make an enemy of Rocky, which might cause Layla to rise in revolt, too. If that happened, the royal family would no longer be able to stand on its own. Therefore, instead of urging Rocky to return the tripod, he thought of giving the young man a chance.

"What do you want me to do to prove it, Your Majesty?" Rocky asked, slightly letting out a frown. Of course, he knew that the king would not give him an easy task if he was willing to compromise.

Then, the king paused for a while and said, "Enter the Heavenly Demon Tower. If you can overcome the tower, then I will allow you to guard the Purgatorial Tripod."

"The Heavenly Demon Tower?" Rocky repeated, narrowing his eyes. He had been in the Shura Race for a long time, but it was his first time hearing about it. However, he was certain that the information about the Heavenly Demon Tower should be stored somewhere in King Corey's memory.

The expressions on Layla's and the royal members' faces also changed. It seemed that they all knew about the tower.

In fact, the Heavenly Demon Tower was not an ordinary place. It was a forbidden area within the royal family, and one could only enter it with the king's permission.

In the Heavenly Demon Tower, the spirit of a demon that once caused chaos in the Shura Race was sealed. Moreover, it was also home to powerful martial spirits, who had followed the demonic race in the past. It was said that every one of them was above the Shura Realm.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Demon Tower was a good place to cultivate, especially for Shura Realm masters, since it was located above a spiritual cave. Furthermore, if one had enough strength, they could take the chance to refine the martial spirits in the tower and cultivate their soul.

Among the royal family, the only ones that could enter the Heavenly Demon Tower were the king, some elders, and the extremely powerful Shura Realm masters that were acknowledged by the king.

For the king to ask Rocky to do this task, almost everyone else in the hall thought that he was deliberately sending the young man to his death. After all, they did not know that Rocky's strength had already reached the Shura Realm.

"All right then. I will do it," Rocky agreed immediately.

"Odin, think about it first. I know the Heavenly Demon Tower, and it will not be easy to come out of it safe and sound," Layla warned. Then, she turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, I think your condition is too harsh."
