Rocky slowly raised his head and stared intently at the fake Basil in front of him. Then, he said, "Is that enough? I don't need to give any excuse. Yes, I am Rocky, but I am also Basil. I live for myself, and I also protect every single person that Basil cares about."
As Rocky spoke sternly, the Evil Flame enveloping his body suddenly surged, and an astonishing power burst out. Without any hesitation, he slashed towards the fake Basil with all the strength he possessed.
A tremendous Moon Blade dashed and engulfed the fake Basil. Then, a strong light exploded in the desert, eventually turning him into a light shadow that gradually dissipated.
Almost at the same time, the desert in front of Rocky also vanished and transformed into some kind of chaotic space.
As he looked around, Rocky quickly noticed that there was another person with him in this space. It turned out to be the old man in purple who had come in before. However, he noticed that the old man remained motionless. His eyes were also empty as if he had lost his soul.
"Is this the power of the Nether Butterfly Queen? It's terrifying. This old man must be trapped in its illusion. It means that even a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage would be helpless," Rocky remarked as he stared at the old man in purple, instantly knowing what he had suffered.
At the same time, Rocky became confused as he tried to locate where the spiritual treasure was sealed. He had been looking around for a while now, but he didn't seem to find any sign of it anywhere.
"It seems that I have no choice but to use the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill." Rocky didn't want to waste any time, so he decided to employ the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. Suddenly, bright lights shone all over his body, immediately allowing him into the state where his spiritual sense could enter into a deeper world—the dimension where the spiritual meridian of the Nether Butterfly Queen was situated.
However, even after trying several times, he still failed. It seemed that the queen had completely sealed off its spiritual meridian to outsiders.
"Lad, it looks like you're in trouble. Let me help you." Suddenly, the dragon-shaped jade on Rocky's chest gleamed, and the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast emerged from it.
The next moment, Rocky felt that his soul was being pulled away from his body by a very powerful force. There was a sensation that felt like his surroundings were distorting and fluctuating. After he regained his senses, he opened his eyes and a world full of spiritual meridians welcomed him.
This world seemed so peculiar and dangerous. Countless violent spiritual currents raged and flashed here and there, like bolts of lightning roaring from the sky. It was like every soul would instantly disintegrate once it was hit by these devastating spiritual currents.
However, Rocky made up his mind and still moved forward without thinking twice. He headed into the center of the space, which was supposed to be the deepest part of the area. He had a strong feeling that once he arrived there, he might find a clue to what he was looking for.
As he walked towards the center, it seemed like he was treading into a violent storm. The powerful spiritual pressure around constantly pressed and pushed him down, making him gasp for air now and then.
He was just finally a few steps away from the center of the spiritual meridians when the spiritual currents suddenly intertwined into a huge net. They were densely packed, trapping him and preventing him from taking even a single step forward.
Just depending on his willpower, Rocky managed to forcibly pass through such a narrow gap. However, he was suddenly hit by an approaching spiritual current before he could get out. His whole body became paralyzed as if he had received an electric shock. At the same time, he noticed that another spiritual current was coming his way. He mustered all his strength and activated the Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring on his finger. It generated a powerful force that pushed him forward, allowing him to avoid being hit by another spiritual current.
Soon after, his body returned to normal, and thus he continued to move forward. After a little while, he was able to pass through the huge net formed by the overwhelming spiritual currents.
