The Medallion

Bam!

The huge fireball quickly rushed to Vivian's body and immediately burst with terrible aftermaths.

Seeing this, color drained from Alex's face. She couldn't see what happened next, so she worried for her.

As the smoke cleared, she found Vivian standing on the crystal step completely unharmed.

"Oh, Tripp, that was dreadful! I'm so glad you're okay!" Alex couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"It's no big deal. He'll be fine." Rocky smiled. "Let's go." Before Alex could even figure out what he meant, Rocky had already grabbed her hand and escorted her onto the crystal staircase.

Similar to what Vivian had experienced earlier, the first crystal step cracked under their feet as they got on. Fortunately, they moved to the next step before the first one shattered and collapsed beneath them. They continued on as though they were merely walking on the ground.

They faced tests that got more severe with each step they took. It seemed that the higher the step, the more dangerous the test was, even for a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor.

Nonetheless, for Rocky and Vivian, these tests were just a piece of cake.

Meanwhile, another team also arrived at the crystal palace and noticed that Vivian, Rocky, and Alex were climbing the crystal staircase and approaching the top of the crystal palace.

This team, led by a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor, and whose members were all Spiritual Kings at the premium stage, was the strongest among the five clans that entered the Ethereal Valley. It was none other than the team from the Lingji Clan.

"Elder Ruth, how could they have gotten here before us?" the medium-stage Spiritual Emperor said to their premium-stage Spiritual Emperor. She was quite surprised to see that another team beat the fastest among all the clans.

"They probably took some shortcuts," Elder Ruth replied calmly.
