The Medallion novel Chapter 1781

Obviously, the demonic beast did not take Rocky seriously. Instead, it suddenly pounced on him and launched a barrage of storm-like attacks.

At this moment, all the Spiritual Emperors around, including Lilith and Isabel, could just shake their heads. They clearly thought that Rocky was overestimating himself for provoking and confronting the demonic beast alone.

Although Rocky already possessed the strength of a high-level Spiritual Emperor, he could not expose his real strength in front of everyone else. Hence, under these circumstances, he really was at a disadvantage against the demonic beast.

Therefore, in front of the other participants, Rocky was just an insane daredevil that was completely suppressed by the power of the demonic beast. At this point, he would not be able to advance nor retreat.

Meanwhile, the news that Rocky and the other Spiritual Emperors were blocked off at the end of one of the trials had already reached outside the Holy Heaven Palace.

Then, Colton said with a concerned look on his face, "It seems that they have encountered the demonic beast guarding the Myriad-tribulation Devil Den."

"Wait. A demonic beast? Did I hear that right? This is a serious matter!" The Spiritual Emperors, who were with Colton, instantly grew restless upon hearing this. They did not expect that there was a demonic beast in the Holy Heaven Palace. Moreover, it had confronted the Spiritual Emperors participating in the contest.

"What are we going to do now, Chief Colton? That demonic beast is so powerful even for the high-level Spiritual Emperors. If it accidentally kills any of the participants, it will be a huge loss for us!" a representative from one of the forces protested, knowing that their members must be in grave danger at the moment.

"Danger is always inevitable in facing the trials. However, this is also their chance to show how calm they can be in dealing with such huge crises. Sure, the demonic beast is very strong, but it doesn't mean that they can't challenge it. Moreover, no rule prohibits the Spiritual Emperors from acting together to go against a common enemy inside the Holy Heaven Palace. This is also a part of the test. We can see here how they react to certain situations. Will they choose to consider the overall situation, or will they just be after their own interests? You have to understand that this is an important aspect when they go on the battlefield in the future," Colton explained with so much perception.

After hearing what Colton had to say, the people with him quickly understood his sentiments. They could not help but be amazed at how his mind worked.

Meanwhile, Rocky was still in a stalemate with the demonic beast. He had been trying to penetrate the beast's spiritual sense in a variety of ways, but all of them seemed to have failed.

Since his initial confrontation with the demonic beast, two hours had already passed. During that time, three groups of Spiritual Emperors had come one after another.

One of the groups was actually comprised of Seth and the other Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race that Rocky encountered outside of the cave, while the other was Michelle's team, who had been chasing Rocky in the beginning but had lost track of him a long time ago. The last group was Rocky's original companions—Valeria, Carla, and Eunice.

When the demonic beast saw that more and more Spiritual Emperors were appearing in its territory, it became more agitated. It let out a massive roar, its face became even more ferocious, and its long black hair stood on its end. The very next moment, an overwhelming power of the Spiritual Domain was released, spreading throughout an area of hundreds of meters.

At this point, the demonic beast became even more vigilant of its surroundings. In turn, Rocky could not help but be a little frustrated. After all, the more vigilant the beast was, the more difficult it was for him to invade its spiritual sense.

Then, as soon as Valeria and the two other girls saw that Rocky was battling such a powerful beast, they wasted no time and joined him.

'How far ahead is he compared to us? I thought Hall Leader Chen is going to deal with this guy. What happened to him?' Holden, who was a part of Michelle's team, was definitely surprised that Rocky was already here. After all, Hall Leader Chen was so confident earlier that he could find a chance to deal with Rocky. However, he was nowhere to be found at this moment. It seemed that he had miserably failed since Rocky was before their eyes, challenging the demonic beast in front of them.

At the same time, Michelle was also surprised. Although her team members were not as strong as the high-level Spiritual Emperors, they were still capable enough to have an advantage over most low-level and medium-level Spiritual Emperors. In fact, on their way to this place, they smoothly survived and surpassed several trials. However, in the end, it seemed that Rocky was still far ahead of them.

'This guy is really something! It's such a shame that I was not able to convince him to join my team. I have to try harder next time so that I can take advantage of him.' Michelle's eyes twinkled as she started scheming on what she could do about Rocky.
