The Medallion
Chapter 1783 Being Extremely Perilous

"What is happening? The diabolic beast is actually obeying that Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan? This is just inconceivable!"

"How could that happen? Isn't he just a low-grade Spiritual Emperor? I really am starting to doubt that it's true!"

"Is there a reason why he could do this? Does he have a secret skill that we don't know of?"

For a brief moment, all kinds of speculations from several Spiritual Emperors could be heard. Of course, they were astounded by the latest feat that Rocky just pulled off.

"I know that he really is talented. But I still did not expect that he would be able to subdue and manipulate a diabolic beast. I have to admit that even I am extremely surprised," Colton murmured to himself. But afterward, he just felt more admiration for the young man. He thought that he was yet to see the extent of his capabilities.

Meanwhile, Rocky and the other candidates had already reached the end of their trial path and were about to take on the last challenge--the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den.

The name itself already sounded terrifying, but the place was indeed full of horrifying dangers. The cave was thousands of meters deep beneath the ground, and rumor had it that it was composed of hundreds of floors. Moreover, each floor was filled with strange things that would not make the lives of the participants any easier.

In fact, even the strongest Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan had only reached up to the hundredth floor beneath.

At this moment, Rocky and the others took quite some time just standing in front of the cave's entrance. As they peeked down at the bottomless cave, they could not help but feel a shiver down their spines. After all, they did not know what kind of danger was awaiting them inside.

"Is there anyone here who knows what kind of trial this is? What are we expecting once we are inside?" Michelle asked at once as she glanced at her fellow participants.

However, most of the Spiritual Emperors shook their heads. But since Eunice was a member of the Di Clan, they could not help but all look at her expectantly, believing that she might know even a bit of information.

"This cave is called the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den. According to the Spiritual Emperors of the Di Clan who had already entered it before, the cave sounds like its name. There are over a hundred floors full of different trials and dangers. As far as I know, no one had ever completed all the floors ever," Eunice remarked.

"Then, how do we even pass this challenge? What will be our cue that we accomplished the test?" Seth asked, a bit confused about Eunice's explanation.

"The Di Clan has set up a teleportation array on the one-hundredth floor. As long as we can reach it, it means that we would already pass the test. But just a warning, only very few people were able to make it so far. I don't want to scare anyone off, but it seems that we are indeed unlucky to face this challenge so soon," Eunice said in a gloomy tone. In fact, the end of this trial path could be said as the most difficult one among the nine. Moreover, passing through the cave meant that one would not be able to enter any other trial path. If he failed here, he would have to start all over again.

"Humph! Only the weak ones would be afraid to confront something like this. I am not saying that it will be easy, but I don't believe that this Myriad-tribulation Devil Den is enough to make me cower in fear!" A high-grade Spiritual Emperor suddenly spoke up. With a disdainful look on his face, he went ahead of the rest of the participants and immediately walked down the stone steps to proceed to the first floor. Soon enough, the other high-grade and medium-grade Spiritual Emperors followed suit. After all, their only choice was to move forward. Everyone thought that they should cross the bridge when they got there. After a while, Michelle's group also started going down the cave.

At this point, only Lilith, Isabel, and Rocky's group were left at the entrance.

Then, Isabel, who had just taken some of Rocky's pills to recover quickly, turned to Rocky and said, "I want to thank you for the medicine that you gave me just now. If you want, I can protect you while we are inside the cave. Think of it as my way of repaying you."

"It's all right. You don't have to do that. I can handle myself well. Besides, I am with these capable girls," Rocky politely refused and waved his hand.

"I see. Then, I'll go downstairs first. I guess I'll just see you there." Knowing that what Rocky said was true, Isabel did not insist anymore. Then, she wasted no time and proceeded inside the cave. "Um... I will go with you!" Lilith turned towards Rocky this time and blurted out.

"Okay then." Upon hearing that Rocky did not object, Eunice and the other girls could not help but exchange glances.

Obviously, they were a bit surprised at Rocky's response. They felt that another woman had fallen for Rocky's charm yet again. It was as if wherever he went, there would always be beautiful women that would inevitably show their affection towards him.

At the same time, Rocky took another glance at the cave before them. Although he was sure that he had never been there before, he had a feeling that the place was very familiar to him.

'Does it mean that the king of the Shura Race came here before?' This was the only explanation that he could come up with. After all, this kind of feeling would not emerge out of the blue. If the king of the Shura Race did come here before, then the sense of familiarity must be coming from his memories.

Of course, even if the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den was indeed a hellish place, with Rocky's real strength, he would be able to easily deal with whatever they could encounter here. Soon enough, Rocky and the girls eventually took the stone steps and began their journey towards the abysmal cave.

Meanwhile, the other candidates, who were taking the other trial paths, were suddenly attacked by the diabolic beasts that appeared out of nowhere. Instantly, it caused a huge panic among the participants. Fortunately, they were able to fend for themselves and didn't suffer too many losses.

Immediately after, this issue was reported to Colton.

"What did you say? How is this happening in so many places at the same time?" Colton was obviously shocked after hearing the report. After all, he did not arrange any diabolic beasts to guard the other trial paths. Hence, he was confused as to how they suddenly appeared in multiple locations and even attacked the participants.

"Sir, did you not arrange this?" The representatives were quite confused at Colton's reaction because it was as if he had no knowledge of it.

However, Colton immediately realized that this might be done by the Godly Geniuses of the Shura Race. Therefore, he could not help but let out a frown, knowing that he could not reveal this information to others. Eventually, he just nodded and said, "Yes, I did."

"But sir, I think it's better if you withdraw these diabolic beasts as soon as possible. If this goes out of control, there will possibly be cases of unnecessary casualties!" one of the powerful representatives urged at once.

With his quick-thinking, Colton immediately came up with an excuse and said, "They cannot be removed right now. However, each candidate has a teleportation rune. If ever they can't resist these diabolic beasts, they can readily use that to get out."

Not expecting that this would be Colton's response, the representatives were rendered speechless.

On the other hand, the Spiritual Emperors, who had entered the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den, were still treading down the spiral stone stairs.

These twenty candidates were divided into three groups. The first one was primarily consisted of the high-grade Spiritual Emperors, while the second one was comprised of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors. Then, the last group was Rocky together with the girls.

Since the high-grade Spiritual Emperors were indeed very powerful, they were able to quickly get past the first floor.

At the same time, Rocky's team had just reached the first floor of the cave. There, they saw that the area was not that big. It was just about a hundred square meters, and the stairs leading to the second floor were at the other end.

However, within the floor, they were hindered by a few little monsters enveloped in green flames. In fact, they were only the size of a palm and looked non-threatening.

But when Rocky stepped forward, the fiery little monsters suddenly started throwing green fireballs towards him.

At first glance, the fireballs seemed to be rather harmless. But the moment Rocky avoided them and they made contact with the wall, the fireballs directly melted it.

Even the four women standing behind Rocky were very surprised to see this. They did not expect that these feeble-looking monsters actually possessed such terrifying power.

"Don't move!" Rocky immediately warned the girls. He wanted to assess the strength of the fiery monsters first, so he did not want the girls to take a risk and move rashly. Afterward, Rocky gradually moved forward by using his bodily movement skill.

While doing so, the little monsters didn't move in their place. Instead, they just kept shooting those vicious green fireballs at a rapid pace. If one was hit by it, he would instantly be in danger.

Then, after testing the extent of the strength of the little monsters, Rocky eventually headed back to the four women.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
