"Humph! You may have inherited his power, but you are still far inferior to him. With your current strength, it's impossible for you to seal me again!" After saying that, the martial spirit instantly rushed out of the room, as if it was trying to escape from the Heavenly Demon Tower.
But of course, since Rocky knew that there would be terrifying repercussions if he let the martial spirit escape, he immediately chased after it.
However, in the current form of the martial spirit, it could freely travel through things without being hindered. It quickly wandered around the floor, leaving Rocky unable to figure out its track at all.
But after chasing it for a while, Rocky noticed that the martial spirit seemed unable to leave the floor. Although Rocky had deactivated the enchanted barrier that sealed it in the previous room, each floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower had their own enchanted barrier, and only those who met the requirements could enter and leave at will. In Rocky's case, because he tried to conceal his real strength earlier, he could not enter the fifth floor. But as soon as he revealed his true strength, which was near the God Realm, the barrier recognized him and let him pass through.
"Damn it! I should have known that I cannot leave this place that easily!" Now that the martial spirit realized that it could not find the way to leave, it instantly became exasperated.
"Well, I can see that you cannot escape by yourself," Rocky said flatly. At this time, he finally caught up with the martial spirit. He stood in front of it, making the situation fall into a stalemate again.
"Ha! In that case, I just have to take over your body!" The martial spirit was sharp enough to recognize that its only way of escaping was to control and use Rocky's body. Of course, the fact that Rocky had the God-killing Sword also made it extremely cautious. However, if it really wanted to obtain its freedom, it had to make some cunning moves in order to suppress Rocky.
"Let's see how you deal with this!" In an instant, the martial spirit shone brightly, and its eyes flashed with a dark red light.
The moment Rocky looked at the eyes of the martial spirit, his entire body was frozen stiff as if he was petrified.
'Damn it! I was too careless!' He did not expect that the martial spirit would possess such a strong demonic skill. Now, he fell into its trap and could not move a muscle.
Eventually, Rocky's entire body was unable to move. Although he had a powerful divine body, it was still susceptible to this kind of demonic skill that did not really harm one's body.
Upon seeing that the petrifying skill worked perfectly, the martial spirit approached Rocky, but it still stayed on guard against the God-killing Sword in his hand. As long as it could stay clear from the sword, it could easily occupy his body.
At the same time, Rocky started to get anxious. He knew that something bad was about to happen to him, but he could not do anything since he had been petrified. He could not even use his spiritual power to free himself. After thinking of more ways that he could try, he thought of his newly cultivated Fighting Soul.
For strong warriors, a soul could be utilized as an avatar. Once it materialized, it could also possess a fighting power to deal with its master's opponents.
However, most warriors only cultivate their souls when they reached a certain level. After all, the soul was far more difficult to cultivate compared to their own physical strength.
But although Rocky's soul was not strong enough, he could use it to stall the martial spirit and give him some time.
As he pondered on this thought, Rocky waited for the moment that the martial spirit got close enough to him. He knew that the martial spirit would take action before the God-killing Sword could react on its own, so he needed to make a move before that happened.
At the perfect timing, Rocky released his Fighting Soul.
After breaking through, it had grown much bigger. Then, as it rushed out of Rocky's body, it transformed into a strange light and rushed towards the martial spirit.
Although the Fighting Soul was not able to hurt the powerful martial spirit, it still managed to nullify the petrification spell that bound Rocky.
Finally, Rocky regained control of his body.
