"Are you worried that it might have some unwanted effects on you? Although it is a demonic treasure, it doesn't really affect you. In fact, Corey used it before to cultivate souls and spiritual energies." Phillip tried to reassure Rocky as he recognized the young man's concerns.
At the same time, Rocky tried to search Corey's memory regarding the Demonic Goblet. Then, he saw that Phillip was telling the truth.
Phillip continued to urge, "Take it. If you want to rule the entire Shura Continent, it will definitely come in handy."
Of course, Rocky still hesitated for a moment. He then weighed the pros and cons and arrived at the conclusion that at the moment, he needed everything to improve his strength. He had already decided to face the royal family of the Shura Race, and if he did not possess sufficient strength, he could not triumph over his opponents.
"All right, I'll take it. But I will feel bad if I take it without giving anything back. After all, this is such a magnificent treasure. Is there anything more that I can do for you instead?" Rocky asked just so he could be fair.
"I believe that it was destiny that allowed us to meet. I admit that I used to be an unforgivable demon, but my fiendish nature has already vanished long ago after I have been sealed here for countless years. In fact, right now, I am just an ordinary old man. If only the Heavenly Demon Tower doesn't restrain my vital energy, I would have used my own power already to eliminate myself. I continue to exist, but at this point, I just want someone with enough power to destroy me for good. Since you are Corey's successor, I think I can ask this of you. If you really want to do something for me, I am requesting you to end my existence," Phillip said in a calm tone.
"I see. Well, let me think about it. One day, if I am already strong enough, I might come back here and destroy you. Until then, you can just stay put in this place. Anyway, I'll take the offer and use this demonic treasure," Rocky replied without fully committing. Although he could feel the sincerity in Phillip's words, he still couldn't afford to fully trust him.
After handing the Demonic Goblet over to Rocky, Phillip also taught him how to use it.
Since Rocky was a fast learner, it did not really take that long before he memorized the method. "Sir, I'm ready. Please send me back!"
"You can just use the treasure to leave this space," Phillip replied.
Hearing this, Rocky quickly gave it a try. He then raised the Demonic Goblet and released its spiritual power according to the method that he just learned from Phillip. The next moment, the void surrounding him began to vibrate. Afterward, Rocky's body, which had been floating in the void all this time, suddenly lost its balance and felt a sensation that it was rapidly falling. In a flash, he was swallowed up by the darkness.
The next thing Rocky saw, he had already returned on the fifth floor of the Heavenly Demonic Tower.
'Whew! I didn't expect that I will stumble upon such a big secret. Moreover, I got a powerful treasure that can help increase my strength. I guess this trip is really worth all the trouble!' Rocky stared at the Demonic Goblet in his hand and smiled contentedly. However, he realized that it was not yet the time to relax. Now that he had returned to the fifth floor, he still had to deal with the king of the giant demon race again.
But at least now, he already knew how to subdue him. With the help of the Demonic Goblet and the Purgatorial Tripod, Rocky was confident this time around. Soon enough, he stormed out to lure the king of the giant demon race out.
The moment the king of the giant demon race noticed that Rocky had suddenly reappeared, he immediately used the Heavenly Demon Voice again. Obviously, he did not want Rocky to escape once more.
Not long after, the waves caused by the Heavenly Demon Voice spread throughout the floor and aggressively came at Rocky.
However, Rocky was prepared this time. He then raised the Demonic Goblet and shook it twice. Immediately after, the goblet released a demonic light that countered the waves of the Heavenly Demon Voice.
At the same time, the king of the giant demon race was stunned to see that Rocky was holding the Demonic Goblet. He seemed to have knowledge about it, and he quickly rushed away to avoid the light that was produced by the goblet.
"Gather the spirit now!" Rocky shouted. At his order, the power being released by the goblet steadily increased. In an instant, the body of the king, which was in a spirit form right now, was pulled strongly towards Rocky.
Seeing that the Demonic Goblet was being effective, Rocky drew out the Purgatorial Tripod from the Magic Spiritual Space and threw it towards the king of the giant demon race.
Afterward, the tripod shot out a red beam of light that dispersed the spiritual body of the king. Soon enough, under the power of the Purgatorial Tripod, the king of the giant demon race turned into specks of light and was completely sucked into the tripod.
"Wow, that was easy!" Rocky was impressed by the combined powers of the Demonic Goblet and the Purgatorial Tripod. Just as Phillip said, it was a formidable combination against spiritual beings. After that, Rocky took the tripod back into the Magic Spiritual Space.
