The Medallion
Chapter 1714 From Today On

After taking a deep breath, the Wind Monster suddenly jumped into the air. Then, he began to walk in it. With each step he took, airwaves would gush from his feet.

"The power of the Wind Monster is really unfathomable!" Seeing how the Wind Monster walked in midair while releasing a strong spiritual power so easily, Rocky was very impressed and believed that his power was beyond what he imagined.

Not long after, the Wind Monster finally took Rocky to the Holy Sun Palace.

The gate of the palace was open, and they could vaguely see that it was indeed resplendent inside.

"Master, before you can enter the Holy Sun Palace, you will see an enchanted barrier that my former master has set up. Only my master or the inheritor of his strength can pass through it. Since I can't enter, I won't be able to accompany you any further. The secret of the royal family of the Shura Race should be in the innermost hall of the palace," the Wind Monster informed.

"All right," Rocky replied and eventually strode towards the gate.

Just as the Wind Monster said, as soon as Rocky approached the gate, a golden enchanted barrier suddenly appeared. However, he was able to directly pass through it without causing him any harm. After entering the palace, Rocky looked around and saw the magnificent designs all over the place. The architectural style of the Holy Sun Palace was somewhat similar to the ancient Greek culture in the modern world. There were high white jade pillars that could be seen everywhere, and the stone pillars crisscrossed, forming various areas.

Then, Rocky went straight forward. After passing through several areas, he finally reached the innermost hall.

The hall was entirely carved out from white jade. Then, at the center, there was a dazzling golden light ball that quickly caught Rocky's attention. It emitted an extremely powerful holy power that enveloped that entire palace.

It was also the reason why the Holy Sun Palace was constantly emanating bright rays of light like that of the sun.

Upon entering the ball of light, Rocky soon found several images that flashed on its surface. Moreover, it seemed that the main protagonist looked just like him.

"What is this? Is someone keeping watch on me?" Rocky could not help but be suspicious. However, he also perceived that there was no one else in the palace except him.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and touched the golden ball of light as he tried to figure out how it actually worked.

But the moment he touched it, the Scarlet Heaven Jade in the depths of his spiritual sense suddenly interacted with it. In a flash, a surge of overwhelming memories rushed towards Rocky's mind. Because of this large amount of information, Rocky suddenly felt that his head was getting heavier while his feet became lighter. All these memories were like a gushing tide that kept on invading his head. After quite a long time, the emerging memories gradually decreased, and at the same time, a special memory vividly appeared in his mind.

In this particular scene, a woman and a man were standing in a secluded place. The man looked handsome, and he emitted a domineering aura. On the other hand, the woman was exceedingly beautiful as if she was a fairy. Moreover, she closely resembled Marcia. This woman seemed to be the same one that he had seen in the memory of the nameless corpse.

"Do you still really want to save the royal family of the Shura Race? You know that they will bring about their own destruction sooner or later since they deliberately disobey the gods' will and remain stubborn." In this memory, although the woman spoke in a rather calm voice, it was apparent that she was complaining.

"As the king of the royal family of the Shura Race, I have the duty to protect them. Although they intentionally defy the will of gods, I cannot let the race be destroyed," the man replied with conviction. "But how can you do that? How can you save the royal family from being exterminated on your own?"

"Well, the only choice I have for now is to apologize in person." The man still looked determined despite knowing that the odds were not in his favor.

"What are you saying? Are you trying to sacrifice your life for the royal family?" the woman asked with anxiety in her voice.

"If that is the only way to save them, then yes."

"It seems that no matter what I say to you, you have already made up your mind." The woman finally sighed in resignation.

"Trust me. I will do whatever I can to save the royal family, you, and our future child." Upon saying that, the man looked affectionately at the woman's belly and patted it gently.

"It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just afraid that even if you are prepared to do this, some members of the royal family might repeat the same mistakes in the future. Then, your sacrifice might be in vain. Moreover, don't they always try to covet the throne? Once you leave, I'm afraid that they will take this opportunity to cause some trouble," the woman remarked with obvious concern in her voice.

"I don't think those guys will have the guts to do that," the man replied as his expression became cold.

"Why don't I go with you?"

"No, it's too dangerous. It's much safer if you stay in the holy land. Just take a good rest and wait for me to come back. However, if by some chance that I was not able to return, I hope you can ensure that our future child will be the successor to the throne."

After that, the images and scene in Rocky's mind suddenly changed. He saw that vicious flames fell from the sky and surrounded the holy land of the Shura Race. At the same time, a savage roar resounded in the sky. "All the members of the Shura Race are sinners! Since you have violated the gods' will, none of you will be forgiven! I have been sent here by the deities to exterminate your race!"

In an instant, the entire holy land fell into chaos. Because of this, all the members of the Shura Race's royal family fled desperately to save their lives.

Before long, the entire holy land had begun to be scorched to the ground.

Seeing that there was no way out, the members of the royal family had no other choice but to give their lives up as they waited for divine punishment from the gods.

But out of nowhere, a domineering figure suddenly emerged in the air. He used the supreme holy power to establish an enchanted barrier to protect the parts of the holy land that were yet to be devoured by the flames.

It turned out that he was the king of the royal family.

"What crime has our royal family committed to you? Why are you being so ruthless to us?" the king roared in anger.

"You know that very well! The members of the royal family have deliberately disobeyed the gods' will and acted according to their own personal motives. You have been warned many times before, but you remained stubborn. Now, it's time for you to harbor the consequences of your actions!" A loud voice echoed from the sky.

"What are you saying? We just want to live our lives. How are we disobeying the gods' will?" the king retorted. "Ha! It's too late to plead your case!

Just accept the punishment that you deserve!" the voice answered coldly.

"If that is the case, then I shall show no mercy to you." With a wave of the king's hand, a huge sword instantly soared into the sky. At the same time, his body also flew into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he got past the clouds, and a fierce spiritual power spread like ripples. Within a thousand meters, it was as if a violent storm was about to ensue.

Meanwhile, the rest of the members of the royal family gathered around and looked at the sky as they trembled in fear.

The astounding battle lasted for three days and three nights.

However, on the fourth day, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and crashed into the ground. Immediately after, dust rose all over the sky. The moment the dust dissipated, the king's body was revealed and it was covered in blood and bruises.

Seeing this, the members of the royal family felt that they had lost all hope.

But at the same moment, the king staggered as he stood on his feet. Then, he raised the huge sword in his hand and declared, "I killed the gods today. I swear that from here on, the members of the royal family will no longer be servants of the gods."

Hearing this, the members of the royal family were stunned. They did not expect that these statements would come out from the mouth of the king. At the same time, they were also surprised by the king's heroism. Hence, they passionately knelt down and worshipped him.

After a while, the sky where the flames had descended had suddenly become calm.

However, at this point, the entire holy land of the royal family was almost destroyed. In fact, the only place that remained intact was the holy city.

Then, with a solemn and dignified expression, the king said, "Get up, everyone. From today on, the Shura Race will stand up against the gods."‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
