Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
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 wereforced to turn back and explore other routes.

Rocky, on the other hand, pressed onward, overcoming any and all challenges that came his way. Hemoved at an astonishing speed, leaving most of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors and all thelow-grade Spiritual Emperors behind. On the other hand, he gradually closed the gap betweenhimself 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 calculated where he was.

A couple of minutes later, just as he had expected, he came across a strange stone path. The pathextended downward, terminating in a huge, dark cave. On either side of the stone path stoodvarious 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 twohigh-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 ominousblack aura.

"It's a diabolic beast!" Rocky exclaimed in disbelief. Although it was no secret that the Holy HeavenPalace was home to countless strange creatures, it was still shocking to see a diabolic beast here.Moreover, this diabolic beast in particular was as powerful as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.Despite their combined forces, these participants didn't seem to be gaining any advantage over thediabolic 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 werethere.

After a few more rounds of futile fighting, some of the warriors began to look discouraged. One byone, they began to retreat.

Towards the end, only two Spiritual Emperors at the premium stage remained, along with Lilith andIsabel. 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 girlsretreated temporarily, long enough to heal themselves.

When they saw what had happened, the other two high-grade Spiritual Emperors realized that itwas 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 stoodfirmly and vigilantly watched the horizon for incoming 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 aSpiritual Emperor of the Di Clan, a friend of Basil's,” Rocky told her reassuringly.

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

"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 accepted it albeit a bit dubiously. After eyeing it carefully, she popped it into hermouth.

Almost instantaneously, she felt a stream of spiritual power explode and surge within her, quicklyspreading all over her body and repairing her damaged meridians.

"You weren't kidding. That medicine packs a powerful punch...” Lilith was pleasantly surprised. Withordinary medicine, one needed to activate their spiritual power to make it work. However, themedicine 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, whenRocky 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..." Rockysaid patiently.

"We don't know each other. I doubt you're kind enough to help a stranger.” Her prejudice wasevident. 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 amessage to you. He said he's really looking forward to the day you can compete with him in termsof mysterious military arrays again.”

Hearing this, Isabel was stunned. Very few humans knew her original identity, and even fewer knewshe 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 andreturned to Lilith's side.

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

"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 strength combined, wewouldn'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 notsurprising that you can't defeat it, even though you all worked together," Rocky said, trying tocomfort her.

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

"Let me have a try!" The truth was, Rocky had been considering this for a while now. Lilith was right;this was the last challenge, so he couldn't just stop here. While he could've found other ways tocomplete this trial path, he wouldn't have been able to bring Lilith with him. Moreover, if Valeria andthe others also ended up on this path, they too would spend a lot of time and energy dealing withthis 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 MysteriousBeast 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 tobeing a Spiritual Emperor at peak state, he was still unable to enter the diabolic beast's spiritualsense, since the latter was able to resist him.

"This is going to be troublesome..." Just as Rocky's mind was racing to come up with a solution tosubdue the diabolic beast, the latter seemed to have a premonition and suddenly reached forwardto crush the former.

Fortunately, Rocky managed to dodge to the side in time. As he did so, he called out to the diabolicbeast, "Good boy, I don't want to fight with you!"
