Not long after, Rocky and Anya were able to enter the Demon Sealing Palace. At the same time, the scene that welcomed them was more shocking than what they had imagined. The entire space inside the palace was like a boundless void, and on top of it was a huge golden ball of light that was emitting a tremendous holy power, enveloping the whole palace.
At the center of the Demon Sealing Palace stood an eight-sided altar. On the altar was a crystal tripod with four feet, each of which was wrapped by a thick golden chain of spiritual power. It could also be seen that these chains were connected to the golden ball above.
'That should be the Purgatorial tripod that seals Phillip's soul, ' Rocky thought after seeing the crystal tripod situated in the middle of the palace. He heard from Mikayla that Phillip's soul was sealed in it.
At this moment, the demoness had turned into black fog and was already approaching the altar.
"Master, while I stop her, go and protect the Purgatorial Tripod. We must do everything we can so that she cannot release Phillip's soul." As soon as she said this, Anya immediately turned into a light shadow and chased after the demoness as if she was a ray of starlight.
With her astonishing speed, she quickly caught up with the demoness.
"You are so persistent, it's getting annoying!" The demoness was actually taken aback. She did not expect that Anya would catch up to her this soon.
She then waved her hand, releasing two streams of black fog. Immediately after, they turned into two huge black flowers, blooming in midair. The next moment, vines sprouted from the flowers and spread out, instantly surrounding and entangling Anya.
It turned out that the black vines were so strong that even with Anya's current form, she was unable to break free.
Taking this opportunity, the demoness continued rushing toward the tripod. But at this moment, Rocky was already beside her. In an instant, both of them landed on the altar at the same time.
"Brat! Get out my way and go to hell!" The demoness was getting impatient. She was able to restrain Anya, but now, Rocky was also here to make her life difficult. Then, she waved her hand again, producing several black flowers that blossomed around the altar. The next moment, the petals of the flowers instantly spread out and bolted towards Rocky as if they were sharp blades.
Fortunately, Rocky's Magic Icy Armor immediately activated and protected him. As soon as the petals touched the armor, they exploded and released a black light. As the barrage of black petals struck him, he was eventually covered in black light.
"Give up, brat! You cannot resist my power!" the demoness snorted, confident that it was enough to finish Rocky off.
However, after a moment, an ice force suddenly surged out and instantly dispersed the black light that surrounded Rocky. Eventually, his figure emerged, unharmed.
"What? How is that possible?" Obviously, the demoness was so surprised that Rocky was able to withstand her power.
Rocky did not even utter a word. Instead, he took the opportunity to launch a sword strike using the God-killing Sword. Seeing this, the demoness quickly flew away, afraid that she would be hit by it.
Now that the demoness was far away from him, Rocky wasted no time and rushed to the Purgatorial Tripod.
The demoness could not help but grit her teeth, thinking that she could not let Rocky take the tripod. Thus, she chased after him and released the deadly black flowers again. However, just like earlier, the black flowers just exploded, and the light they produced did not have any effect on Rocky. Thanks to the Magic Icy Armor, he was totally unharmed.
When Rocky emerged without any injury, the demoness's jaw dropped, stunned at what she saw. She could not believe how strong his armor was to keep him free from harm even after all the attacks that he received. However, she did not know that even though his strength had not reached the God Realm yet, his physical body was already refined into a divine body. Hence, his resilience was beyond what one could imagine.
Of course, the demoness was still unwilling to give up. She quickly used another skill to deal with her opponent. All of a sudden, countless black vortices appeared beneath Rocky's feet. Afterward, black shadows rushed up and intertwined with each other as if they were thorny vines. Then, they blocked his way, slowing him down and preventing him from getting close to the tripod.
