In his fear and frustration, Abdullah could only call out to everyone. They looked in his direction with the realization that someone finally said what they had been thinking.
At the same time, the three demonic beasts that Rocky and the others had previously engaged suddenly gathered towards the demonic beast in the cave while their bodies flashed with demonic light.
After a few seconds, the power of the three demonic beasts increased greatly, until they had reached the premium stage of the Emperor Realm.
The real trouble was that the gap that had opened earlier had now been sealed again.
"I don't think we can eliminate all these monsters with just three Spiritual Emperors," Anita said as her face grew serious. She didn't expect that their first trial would be this difficult.
When Abdullah heard what she said, his face darkened. As the third young master of the Xiayu Clan, the thought of dying in the Ethereal Valley perturbed him. Nonetheless, he still refused to think about this possibility.
"Something's not right. It should be impossible for these monsters to suddenly break through and reach the premium stage of the Emperor Realm that easy—unless..." After some careful observations of these furious monsters, Rocky inferred something.
"Everyone, gather together and defend with all your strength. I'll go down the burrows and take a look!" Rocky yelled. He couldn't wait around and do nothing any longer.
Of course, the members of the three clans furrowed their brows in confusion at the sudden venture.
Before they could even react, however, Rocky had already jumped into a burrow.
Seeing this, Vivian immediately followed behind him.
As soon as Rocky fell into an underground cave, Vivian also appeared beside him.
"Oh? Why are you here?" Rocky glanced at Vivian with raised brows.
"I figured it'd be much more efficient if we kill this monster together," Vivian replied. She had already anticipated what Rocky wanted to do.
Rocky simply chuckled. Then, they quickly moved forward and started looking for clues. A moment later, they found an abnormally huge demonic spiritual beast lying in the depths of the burrow, emitting the aura of a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor. When they looked closer, this demonic spiritual beast also had a few slender bodies living on it that stretched upward. Apparently, the upper parts of these bodies were the demonic beasts that Rocky and the others had been confronting all this time.
"I've been wondering why those demonic beasts could increase their strength that much in so little time. It turns out they're just part of another demonic beast," Rocky stated as his eyes narrowed.
"Should I kill it?" Vivian asked as she looked at Rocky.
"No. Let me. If you release your power here, the people above us will surely perceive it," Rocky quickly reminded.
"Oh, right. Well, hurry." Knowing it could get them in trouble if they noticed a different aura from her, Vivian instantly agreed.
Rocky dashed forward straight away and condensed the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage in his palm.
Sensing Rocky's aura, the giant demonic beast immediately whipped a tentacle towards him.
However, it instantly got dismembered by the dense black power around Rocky the moment it approached him.
In response, the giant demonic beast let out a painful howl.
Immediately after, Rocky silently appeared before the giant monster with his fighting energy still condensed in his hand.
Then, Rocky hurled the fighting energy into the enormous body of the monster, making it suddenly swell up.
Boom!
As the beast exceeded the limit, it exploded with a loud bang. Green blood splashed everywhere, and all of its broken limbs scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, the parts of the demonic beast, which trapped the warriors of the three clans above, also dried up and turned into mummies.
