Not long after, Rocky had the urge to go to the right side of the periphery of the Demon Sealing Palace. The place was surrounded by towering stone walls, making it very secluded and hard to find.
He was greeted with the sight of many martial spirits floating aimlessly inside. He stopped in his tracks and sensed that they were all at least at the Shura Realm.
He hesitated to enter, even though his guts were telling him to do so. After observing the floating martial spirits, he found out that they were unable to leave the vicinity.
'I didn't expect that there would be so many martial spirits wandering around here. They must've been the spirits of the ancestors of the Shura Race, ' Rocky thought to himself with a slight frown.
Rocky was cautious not to disturb them. He took his time to observe the surroundings. Since the martial spirits were strong, someone powerful must have cast the barrier to prevent them from escaping. Otherwise, it would be impossible that the barrier cast by ordinary warriors would hold so many martial spirits imprisoned here.
While Rocky was lost in thought, he was pulled back to reality when he saw a female martial spirit with a slender body slowly float out of the crowd. Even though she was not real, Rocky couldn't help but be charmed. What made her even more intriguing was the fact that she still had some vitality left in her.
Most importantly, the aura Rocky sensed from her was exactly what he had sensed a few moments ago.
"Were you the one who summoned me?" he asked immediately.
The female martial spirit seemed to be unable to speak, but she knelt down on one knee like a servant and lowered her head to Rocky.
Rocky hesitated for a moment, but soon he understood that this female martial spirit must have sensed the holy power of the Shura Race's king in him. This meant that this female warrior spirit must have an inseparable relationship with the clan king!
After getting up, she gestured to Rocky that he should hold a weapon in his hand. Then, she pointed to a stone statue on the side of the area, as if to imply something to him.
Still not understanding what she meant, Rocky walked towards the statue she pointed at.
When he got close to it, he was surprised to see that it was a beast statue, both lifelike and brimming with life.
He saw the statue's eyes blink at him as it emanated a very strong divine power.
'This must be the energy source of the barrier which has kept all the martial spirits imprisoned! Is she telling me to destroy it? But what would happen if I do this? She seems to have something to tell me!' Rocky's mind raced.
If the woman really had some sort of relationship with the king, then she should be able to tell the situation inside the Demon Sealing Palace. In order to succeed in this mission, he knew he needed all the help he could get.
"Whatever! I need to give it a try!" After putting much thought into it, Rocky knew he had no other choice. If he released all of the imprisoned martial spirits, they would only affect the Ghostly Demon Land and not him. Plus, they might even slow down Zain's and Enoch's team from approaching the Demon Sealing Palace.
Without hesitation, he summoned the God-killing Sword and wielded it, and the statue was immediately overwhelmed by its radiance.
Bang!
