Chapter 1780 Let''s Not Fight


    With Rocky able to pass through the cave, Seth and the other candidates also tried their luck.


    Unfortunately, they were blocked; they couldn''t enter the cave. Left with no other options, they were


    forced to turn back and explore other routes.


    Rocky, on the other hand, pressed onward, oveing any and all challenges that came his way. He


    moved at an astonishing speed, leaving most of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors and all the low-


    grade Spiritual Emperors behind. On the other hand, he gradually closed the gap between himself and


    those ahead of him.


    "Seems like I''m near the end of this path. I wonder what kind of trial will be waiting for me there," Rocky


    murmured to himself when he roughly calcted where he was.


    A couple of minutester, just as he had expected, he came across a strange stone path. The path


    extended downward, terminating in a huge, dark cave. On either side of the stone path stood various


    ghost statues, each one with a unique hellish, distorted face.


    Making his way along the path, he soon heard noises from up ahead. From afar, he could see two high-


    grade Spiritual Emperors and five middle-grade Spiritual Emperors were fighting a giant beast. The


    beast''s massive body blocked the entrance to the huge cave and was emitting an ominous ck aura.


    "It''s a diabolic beast!" Rocky eximed in disbelief. Although it was no secret that the Holy Heaven


    Pce was home to countless strange creatures, it was still shocking to see a diabolic beast here.


    Moreover, this diabolic beast in particr was as powerful as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.


    Despite theirbined forces, these participants didn''t seem to be gaining any advantage over the


    diabolic beast. It was obviously giving them a tough time.


    Rocky squinted, trying to make out the warriors. To his surprise, he found that Isabel and Lilith were


    there.


    After a few more rounds of futile fighting, some of the warriors began to look discouraged. One by one,


    they began to retreat.


    Towards the end, only two Spiritual Emperors at the premium stage remained, along with Lilith and


    Isabel. However, things didn''t look so good for them.


    At some point, the diabolic beast injured both Lilith and Isabel, one after another. The two girls


    retreated temporarily, long enough to heal themselves.


    When they saw what had happened, the other two high-grade Spiritual Emperors realized that it was a


    futile battle, so they too retreated and left.

    The diabolic beast guarding the cave, on the other hand, did not chase after them. Instead, it stood


    firmly and vigntly watched the horizon for iing intruders.


    Rocky took this as his opportunity to show himself to Lilith, handing her some medicine.


    "Who are you?" Lilith asked warily. Rocky hadn''t revealed to her his identity as Basil. "Oh, I''m a


    Spiritual Emperor of the Di n, a friend of Basil''s," Rocky told her reassuringly.


    "Oh, I see, Basil''s friend." At the mention of his name, Lilith immediately rxed.


    "Take the medicine already, before your injury gets worse," Rocky urged.


    "I have brought my own medicine with me," Lilith replied stubbornly.


    "This is no ordinary medicine," Rocky insisted.


    "Really?" Lilith epted it albeit a bit dubiously. After eyeing it carefully, she popped it into her mouth.


    Almost instantaneously, she felt a stream of spiritual power explode and surge within her, quickly


    spreading all over her body and repairing her damaged meridians.


    "You weren''t kidding. That medicine packs a powerful punch..." Lilith was pleasantly surprised. With


    ordinary medicine, one needed to activate their spiritual power to make it work. However, the medicine


    she just took healed her automatically without any external force.


    "Wait for me here," Rocky instructed. Then, he walked over to Isabel, who had taken refuge nearby,


    and handed her some medicine too.


    Despite meeting Rocky in disguise once before, Isabel obviously didn''t remember him. Thus, when


    Rocky offered her something, she wrinkled her nose with disgust. "No, thanks. I don''t need it!"


    "You are badly injured. If you don''t heal yourself in time, it will affect your subsequent trials..." Rocky


    said patiently.


    "We don''t know each other. I doubt you''re kind enough to help a stranger." Her prejudice was evident.


    Isabel thought lowly of Rocky, especially since he was human.


    "Ha ha, you''re not wrong!" Rocky chuckled. "The truth is, a friend of mine asked me to deliver a


    message to you. He said he''s really looking forward to the day you canpete with him in terms of


    mysterious military arrays again."


    Hearing this, Isabel was stunned. Very few humans knew her original identity, and even fewer knew


    she was proficient in mysterious military arrays. Something seemed to click in her mind.


    "This friend of yours, is he..." Isabel''s voice trailed off hesitantly.


    "My only job was to send you that message. Now, take the medicine. Are we good?" Rocky asked,


    smiling coyly as he pushed the medicine into her hand.


    Isabel took the medicine in a daze. When she came to her senses, Rocky had already left and returned


    to Lilith''s side.


    "Do you know her?" Lilith couldn''t help but ask when she saw Rocky''s interaction with Isabel just now.


    "She is also a friend of Basil''s," Rocky answered briefly.


    "Basil must have a lot of friends," Lilith sighed.


    Without replying, Rocky smiled at her fondly.


    "This diabolic beast is powerful. I didn''t expect that, even with all our strengthbined, we wouldn''t


    be able to defeat it," Lilith added, her expression darkening.


    "I''m afraid its strength is very close to that of a peak-staged Spiritual Emperor. It''s really not surprising


    that you can''t defeat it, even though you all worked together," Rocky said, trying tofort her.


    "This should be thest challenge of this trail path. We can''t fail here!" Lilith buried her face in her


    hands in frustration.


    "Let me have a try!" The truth was, Rocky had been considering this for a while now. Lilith was right;


    this was thest challenge, so he couldn''t just stop here. While he could''ve found other ways to


    others also ended up on this path, they too would spend a lot of time and energy dealing with this


    monster. Therefore, he decided to handle this beast for good.


    "Don''t, it''s too dangerous!" Lilith warned, her tone colored with worry.


    But Rocky just winked at her. Then he strode over towards the diabolic beast.


    As he approached the cave entrance''s guardian beast, Rocky immediately activated the Mysterious


    Beast Transformation Skill, intending to enter the diabolic beast''s spiritual sense to subdue it. However,


    the diabolic beast''s power was stronger than he expected. Even though he was close to being a


    Spiritual Emperor at peak state, he was still unable to enter the diabolic beast''s spiritual sense, since


    thetter was able to resist him.


    "This is going to be troublesome..." Just as Rocky''s mind was racing toe up with a solution to


    subdue the diabolic beast, thetter seemed to have a premonition and suddenly reached forward to


    crush the former.


    Fortunately, Rocky managed to dodge to the side in time. As he did so, he called out to the diabolic


    beast, "Good boy, I don''t want to fight with you!"
