At the point, the troops led by Eunice, Kye, Tessa, and Ramon had successfully intercepted the troops of the spiritual race and were able to safeguard the entrance of the ruins. However, the enemy troops were still thriving to fight them.
However, as soon as Rocky and Harlan appeared at the entrance of the ruins, the troops of the spiritual race instantly froze in fear and retreated in a hurry.
Seeing that the enemy army had lost the will to fight back, Rocky deemed that it wasn't necessary to chase after them. Then, he quickly landed in front of the human army.
Eunice and the others had finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Rocky. However, when they also saw Harlan behind him, they were a bit surprised.
"Everyone, thank you so much for your hard work," Rocky said with a big smile to Eunice and the three others who led the army.
"Well, it's not a big deal. Actually, it was such a pleasure to crush the spiritual race!" Tessa uttered excitedly. It was not that long when she joined the battle, but she already experienced a huge victory. That made her a little thrilled and confident.
"Wait for me here. I just have to go deep into the ruins with Harlan." After that, Rocky quickly entered the ruins while being accompanied by Harlan.
Apparently, the ruins had been long abandoned, and many buildings were almost buried in the sand. As they entered the place, Harlan didn't waste any time and led Rocky to the depths of the ruins.
When they arrived at the innermost part, a circular altar welcomed them. It looked very old and shabby with broken walls and eaves.
"Can you see the lampstand on the left side? Move it to the opposite direction," Harlan instructed as he pointed to the lampstand on the altar.
Rocky walked towards the altar at once. He pressed his hand on the lampstand and tried to move it hard. As soon as it turned, Rocky felt that the ruins started to slightly tremble.
Boom! Boom!
Then, a violent noise resounded, coming from the center of the altar.
Soon enough, the ground in the middle of the altar began to sink. At the same time, a dazzling light rose from it. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the light actually formed an enchanted barrier. Inside it was a stone table, and a mysterious-looking box was placed on top of it.
"The Star Beast Ring is inside that box. However, you must retrieve it yourself by entering the enchanted barrier," Harlan remarked.
Rocky nodded and slowly walked towards the altar. Then, he approached the altar and tried to touch it. In a flash, a tremendous force surged out and rushed directly towards him.
He was slightly caught off guard, but he didn't have any intention of retreating. Instead, he gathered all of his strength and resisted the power of the enchanted barrier. However, he soon found out that it might be a useless attempt. The power from the enchanted barrier was much stronger than he anticipated.
But just when Rocky couldn't hold on any longer, the divine power in his body was set ablaze and gushed out of his body to envelop him.
Soon enough, the overwhelming power of the enchanted barrier began to weaken. At the same time, Rocky felt more relaxed. Without anything that hindered him, he stepped into the enchanted barrier and entered it fully.
Seeing that, Harlan couldn't help but be a little bit surprised. However, at the back of his mind, he knew that this was what would happen. After all, if Rocky used to be the successor of the Holy Lord of the Star Divine Race from their old world, then he could surely adapt to the power in no time.
A moment later, Rocky stood in front of the stone table and opened the box on it. There, he found a simple-looking ancient beast face ring. In fact, he could vaguely feel the hidden beast soul energy from it.
After picking the ring up, he decided to wear it on his finger. At that moment, he clearly felt a surging force rush into his body, causing the flames of his divine power to soar wildly.
"The Star Beast Ring activated my divine power again?" At that instant, Rocky was sure that the divine power that was flowing inside his body was much stronger than before. Although it was still much weaker compared to its peak state, it was enough to bring his strength above the Emperor Realm and close to the Shura Realm.
After a while, Rocky walked out of the enchanted barrier and cupped his hands in front of Harlan. "Thank you for all your help to obtain the sacred weapon."
"Well, this is fate, so you really don't need to thank me. Actually, I should be the one thanking you, because at last, I have already fulfilled my task. I have finally found the rightful owner of the sacred weapon," Harlan replied.
"So, what is your next plan after this?" Rocky quickly asked.
