"Huh? What happened?" Rocky was taken aback when he realized that he could not get through the entrance to the fourth floor.
He tried several more times, but the result was just the same. He was pushed back repeatedly.
"What does this mean? Is it not recognizing my power, or does it require some other way of opening it?" Rocky uttered, furrowing his brows.
Afterward, he tried something else. He simply released his true strength, which was close to the God Realm.
Then, all of a sudden, the entire Heavenly Demon Tower shook violently as if it was greatly affected by something.
In fact, even the members of the royal family, who were waiting for Rocky outside the Heavenly Demon Tower, also felt the strong vibration in the tower. Of course, they were all surprised because they did not know what was happening inside. However, they could faintly feel the unimaginably powerful aura from within the tower that might be the cause of all this trembling.
Meanwhile, in the darkness of the top floor of the tower, a dark purple light suddenly flashed as if something was awakened.
On the other hand, as Rocky released his real power, the entrance to the fourth floor produced a suction force that instantly swallowed him. It turned out that he was right on using a different way to open the door this time.
Upon reaching the fourth floor, he finally saw many martial spirits wandering around. Since only the first three floors were opened to the warriors at the Shura Realm, the upper floors were still filled with various martial spirits.
Moreover, Rocky sensed that almost all of these martial spirits were above the Shura Realm. Hence, these would greatly boost his soul.
However, the moment Rocky appeared on the floor, it seemed that the martial spirits became afraid of his aura. They dispersed in an instant as if they were hiding from him.
Since Rocky possessed Corey's power, it was just normal for these martial spirits to be scared of him, so he speculated that they would not fight him head-on. Therefore, he thought of using the Earth-diving Skill to hide his presence in a remote corner and wait for an opportunity to make a move.
Soon enough, a wandering martial spirit passed by Rocky's side. Thus, he wasted no time, absorbed the spirit, and refined it using his spiritual power.
In less than two hours, Rocky was able to refine almost all of the martial spirits on the fourth floor. Consequently, his soul broke through from being an Imperial Soul to a Fighting Soul. Now, his soul was already close to the Shura Realm.
"Really? I have already absorbed so many powerful spirits, but it only made my soul a Fighting Soul? It seems that cultivating one's soul is very difficult!" Rocky complained, a bit disappointed about the result.
In fact, he was very lucky. After all, only very few warriors of the Shura Race were allowed to enter the upper floors, and they were not able to refine all those powerful martial spirits. Therefore, in the end, Rocky was still contented with what he achieved.
After wandering around the fourth floor, Rocky did not find anything special about it. Thus, he quickly looked for the entrance that led to the next floor.
When he stood in front of the entrance to the fifth floor, he felt strange because it did not exert any suction force or resistance. In other words, it appeared to be a normal door. So, without wasting any time, he took the stairs and went straight up the next floor.
As he stepped on the fifth floor, a fragment of memory appeared in his mind. In it, it revealed a memory that showed the exact appearance of the floor.
"It seems that King Corey has cultivated here before," Rocky murmured to himself. Moreover, it turned out that Corey's memories of the tower stopped on the fifth floor. It meant that as Rocky proceeded to the remaining floors, he would be on his own.
As Rocky looked around, he found the entire floor was really meant for cultivation. It had many rooms where one could cultivate in seclusion.
Just like on the previous floor, he did not find anything special here either.
"That's strange. I expected that as I go to the upper floors, it will get more dangerous. Didn't they say that a spirit of a demon is sealed somewhere here?" Rocky uttered while continuing to walk around.
He tried to search Corey's memories again, but he did not find anything about the demon.
