Chapter 1942 Prepare For The Worst
Although Alex had no idea how to seal the crystal palace, she knew that its existence was to seal the devil spirit. Since the Ice Wand could open the gate to the crystal palace, she thought it could seal it up as well.
Wasting no time, she released her deity spirit and raised the Ice Wand in her hand.
The Ice Wand immediately shot an extremely dazzling light that caused the entire crystal palace to tremble.
Shortly after, the palace began to deform.
Even the interior of the crystal palace got completely overturned.
Meanwhile, Rocky and the devil spirit were still fighting fiercely inside the crystal palace. Relying on Deacon's power that was released by the God-killing Sword, and the suppression of all kinds of medium-grade fake divine treasures, he managed to subdue the devil spirit. It had lost the ability to be as aggressive as before, so Rocky had finally gained the upper hand.
The devil spirit also learned that the entire palace was being sealed while it was still inside.
It couldn't afford to lose its freedom from being sealed yet again, so it used much of its strength to forcefully push Rocky back and rush towards the entrance of the palace.
Since it would be a disaster if the devil spirit succeeded, Rocky was determined to keep that from happening. However, it was a medium-stage devil spirit. Nothing could suppress it except for the God-killing Sword.
While he was thinking of ways to defeat it, Rocky remembered the Purgatorial Tripod. The problem was, a horrible devil spirit was still in the tripod and hadn't been refined yet. It would be impossible for him to use it.
"Oh, wait! I still have the Four Beast Cauldron!" Rocky had already felt his head ache before he remembered that he had once obtained this divine treasure from the Holy Heaven Palace. Apparently, it could summon four legendary beasts to assist the owner.
He had only used the Four Beast Cauldron once, and his previous strength had not been enough to activate the Four Beast Cauldron to its full potential.
He was still doubtful he could use it to get out of it now, but he was left with no other choice. If he wanted to win, he could only take out the Four Beast Cauldron from the Magic Spiritual Space and inject all his strength into it.
The next moment, the four beast statues on the Four Beast Cauldron suddenly flashed. When four legendary beasts flew out of the statues, they instantly turned into huge mutants in midair.
"Go!" Rocky ordered in a stern voice.
At his command, the four legendary beast spirits flew towards the devil spirit and pounced on it. "Isn't this the Four Beast Cauldron? He also possesses such a powerful divine treasure? Who the hell is this guy?" The devil spirit was dumbfounded that Rocky would unleash the Four Beast Cauldron at this moment. The divine treasure was spectacular since its power could summon legendary beasts that could suppress all kinds of devil spirits.
As a medium-stage devil spirit, it was naturally afraid of the power of the Four Beast Cauldron that could easily restrain it.
Then, even before the devil spirit could react, the four legendary beast spirits suddenly entangled the four limbs of the spirit, making it unable to move.
At the same time, Rocky waved the God-killing Sword and rushed over. Wasting no time, he pierced the body of the devil spirit with the sword.
With this, the devil spirit suddenly turned into a purple vortex.
Immediately after, the Fighting Soul in Rocky's body emerged and began absorbing the power of the devil spirit in the purple vortex.
While this was happening, some memory fragments suddenly flashed through Rocky's mind. From what he could infer, these memories seemed to be from the medium-stage devil spirit.
Rocky thought that the memories of this devil spirit might contain some clues regarding the whereabouts of the entrance of the Holy-Evil World, so he carefully observed them. However, it was not an easy task since the memory fragments were very scattered and incomplete.
Fortunately, Rocky had a very good memory. After reading and deciphering the memory fragments for a while, he finally found the necessary clue about the entrance to the Holy-Evil World in the Ethereal Valley.
It seemed that the entrance was on the snow peak at the end of the Ethereal Valley.
However, Rocky also saw that it would be pretty difficult to get to the snow peak. Not only were there powerful demonic spiritual beasts guarding the place, but also many martial spirits lurked there.
After some time, the memory fragments finally disappeared. Moreover, the Fighting Soul in Rocky's body seemed to be unable to absorb the devil spirit's power anymore. Eventually, the Fighting Soul merged with Rocky's body again, and the purple vortex slowly dissipated.
Now that the threat had been extinguished, the God-killing Sword returned to its original shape, and Rocky's strength also returned to its former state.
Meanwhile, the crystal palace was still constantly transforming. From the outside, it was now turning into a huge crystal flower.
"Now, how can I get out of this place?" Since the whole crystal palace was being enveloped by a powerful sealing power, even if Rocky tried to break through using the God-killing Sword, he would just fail. Therefore, he could not help but wear a frown and feel a little uneasy.
But then, something suddenly occurred to Rocky's mind. He immediately put away the God-killing Sword and the Four Beast Cauldron, and headed towards the depths of the crystal palace.
"Alex, you can stop now!" Vivian shouted loudly.
Alex turned around and glanced at Vivian in confusion.
"I can feel Rookie's power. That means that he's still alive. We have to go inside the crystal palace and save him!" Vivian added, not wanting to give up so easily.
"That will not change anything. Even if we go back, we will just be killed by the devil spirit. Rookie sacrificed himself for all of us. We can't just let that be in vain!" Alex firmly replied, shaking her head. Knowing the vicious power of the devil spirit, she was convinced that they would be killed once they went back inside.
"Who said anything about him dying? There's no way that he would die! He is—" Vivian got so emotional that she almost blurted out who Rocky really was. Fortunately, she was able to stop the words before they came out of her mouth.
"I also want to believe that he can come out on his own. I know that he is not an ordinary person.” Ever since Alex knew Rocky, she had only infinite admiration for him. Therefore, even now, she hoped that he could produce a miracle and overcome the impossible.
On the other hand, Vivian could just bite her pink lips. She had huge faith in Rocky, too. However, if the worst case scenario happened and he couldn't get out, then everything would be meaningless. After a few moments, the crystal palace stopped changing. It had already turned into a huge crystal flower, dazzling and blooming. In fact, there was already not a trace of the previous crystal palace. "Young Master Alex, why don't we find a safe place away from here first? Just in case we can't completely seal that devil spirit, at least we still have time to escape,” a Spiritual Emperor suggested. "You can go. I'll wait for Rookie here," Vivian said bluntly.
"Everyone, you can leave now. I'll stay with Tripp and wait as well.” Alex turned to Ruth and the other Spiritual Emperors after making up her mind.
"All right then. We'll take our leave. I'll be sure to repay you for saving our lives earlier!” Ruth and the Spiritual Emperors agreed to leave first and bid the two ladies goodbye.
Then, Alex and Vivian waited for a long time outside the crystal palace.
"Tri... I mean, Vivian... I know it's hard to say this, but I'm afraid Rookie must have failed to overcome the devil spirit. Let's get out of here too!" Seeing that Rocky didn’t show up after they had been waiting for such a long time, Alex had no choice but to be mentally prepared and assume that he was dead.
"No, you're wrong. He will come out. I believe in him!" Vivian said firmly, gritting her teeth.
