Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1938 Provocation

"Alex, you have to realize that this place is no joke. Although you have become a Spiritual Emperorat the peak state and obtained the divine treasure, you are still not strong enough to go againstthat evil spirit. There's no need for you take this risk with us. Tripp and I have our mission tocomplete. With your current strength, you should be able to lead the Wankong Clan and make itrise again,” Rocky said with a firm and serious look on his face.

"That's not fair! Without the two of you, I wouldn't be able to attain my current strength. You are mybenefactors. Therefore, before I leave the Ethereal Valley and part ways with you two, I will definitelydo my best to help you. You don't have to worry about me. I am not the kind of person who's afraidof death,” Alex replied stubbornly. It seems that she was not ready to let this matter go.

"Fine. We'll try things out. But promise me that if we can't deal with the evil spirit, you will leavefirst," Rocky said with a sigh. From the short time that they had been together, he got to know whatkind of person Alex was. If she had already made up her mind, it would be almost impossible todissuade her. Furthermore, the Ice Wand was in her hands, so she was the only one who could openthe door of the crystal palace. Hence, Rocky wouldn't have much of a choice.

"All right.” Alex nodded, satisfied with Rocky's compromise.

After that, the three of them wasted no time and quickly searched for the aura of the evil spirit.Soon enough, they were back deep into the crystal palace again.

Along the way, they saw more dead bodies of the spirit warriors one after another.

"This is bad. It won't take too long before almost all the spirit warriors in the crystal palace getkilled," Rocky murmured and shook his head. He knew that the more strong spirit warriors died, theworse the situation would be for the entire spiritual race.

Then, after searching in the crystal palace for more than two hours, the three of them finally found ahidden hall situated at the end of the crystal palace.

However, they didn't dare to act rashly. They stayed outside the hall first, hid their auras, andobserved from their current position.

At the same time, on the other side of the pool in the hall, Ruth of the Lingji Clan and the SpiritualEmperors of other clans were being trapped by a strong force that floated in the air. Moreover,something was constantly absorbing the power from their bodies, making them weaker everypassing second.

In the pool, the purple shadow sat with its legs crossed on the surface of the water, perfectly still,and was emitting a strong demonic aura. Just as Rocky guessed, it was a devil spirit and it was apowerful member of the demonic race.

"It is a devil spirit. A very powerful one. Judging from its malevolent aura, it is definitely not just anordinary devil spirit!" Rocky had been alone with Phillips soul in the Heavenly Demon Tower before,so he was quite sure when it came to distinguishing the strength of a member of the demonic race.Although the aura of the purple devil spirit in front of him was not as strong as that of Phillip, it wasjust about a level lower than Phillip's. Therefore, it was at least a medium-stage devil.

"Yes, I can feel it! This devil spirit seems to be exceedingly powerful!" Now that Alex had become aSpiritual Emperor at the peak stage, she was now able to feel the strength of powerful beings suchas the purple devil spirit.

"From what I can see, I'm afraid that even with the three of us working together, we won't manageto hurt it at all," Vivian said with an obvious frown. Even if the devil spirit hadn't technically reachedthe God Realm yet, its strength was already close to breaking through to the God Realm. Thus, evenif she and Rocky released their real strength, they would also just be close to the God Realm. Atpresent, they could not count on Alex's fighting power, and she might even be a liability in battle. Inaddition, the opponent was a devil spirit without a real body. Once they fought head-on, theirchance of winning was slim to none.

"Then, I don't think it would be wise to risk our lives in a losing battle.” Even Rocky had to admit thatthey had no chance of winning against the purple devil spirit.

"But what about the Spiritual Emperors? Are you saying that we'll just abandon them?" Looking atRuth and the Spiritual Emperors who were trapped inside, Alex couldn't help but feel sorry for them."Most of their power has been absorbed anyway. Even if we managed to save them, I'm afraid thatthey would be disabled for the rest of their lives. Besides, you felt the power of the devil spirit, andyou know that saving all of those people is beyond our abilities," Vivian uttered straightforwardly."But they are still members of the spiritual race! I can't just sit by and do nothing while they arebeing killed in front of me!" As the young master of one of the five major clans, Alex had beenraised and trained as the heir since childhood. Naturally, she had a deep sense of responsibility.Even if her clan had been in a competition with the other four clans, all of them were still from asingle race. If all of these Spiritual Emperors died here, it would be a huge blow for the entirespiritual race.

"I'm sure you are aware that if they were in our position, they would also abandon us," Rocky repliedwithout mincing his words. "If we do what you are asking, it's as if we'll just dive into our deaths.This is an overwhelming odd with an almost nonexistent chance of overcoming.”

"I know. But I can't just give up without even trying. I also fully understand that my strength alone isnot enough. You are not required to obey my whims, but can you help me? I will repay you doublein the future!" Alex could only plead at this point.

"I don't really know. What about you, Tripp? What do you think?" Rocky shook his head with a bittersmile and turned to Vivian.

'If this devil spirit escapes from the Ethereal Valley, it will be a disaster that could also affect theShura Race. After all, the previous demonic race member has already caused so much chaos in theGhostly Demon Land. Vivian crossed her arms on her chest and thought deeply for a while. Ideally,by looking at the overall situation, they really had to replace a way to kill this devil spirit or seal it againbefore it made more trouble.

"Well, if both of you think that it is best to resolve this right now, then we can only take the risk anddo our best." Rocky also made up his mind, knowing that if they let the devil spirit roam free, itwould bring endless troubles to every race. Hence, they should do what they could to bring it to anend before more tragedies rose.

"All right then. Just like before, I'm going to act as a decoy and attract the attention of that devilspirit. At the same time, you guys wait for the chance to save those Spiritual Emperors,” Rockyinstructed.

"Be very careful!” Alex reminded in a serious tone. Of course, she was very worried for Rocky.

In the blink of an eye, Rocky's aura surged out and he quickly rushed towards the pool from wherethey were hiding.

Immediately, the purple devil spirit, who was busy absorbing the power of the Spiritual Emperors,stopped from what it was doing, alarmed at the sudden appearance of Rocky. It then stared atRocky with furious eyes.

"How dare you disturb me, imbecile? Kneel down!" the purple devil spirit roared, unleashing astrong pressure that gushed out towards Rocky.

The next moment, Rocky felt a force as heavy as a boulder rushing directly towards him. His kneesbecame weak and he almost stumbled down to the floor. However, with his fast reflexes, hereleased the holy power of King Corey to resist the pressure. In an instant, he was able to regain hisbalance, completely warding off the overwhelming pressure from the devil spirit.

"What the hell? Your strength is a little strange. It seems that a part of it comes from the demonicrace, but there's also something else in there...” It seemed that the purple devil spirit easily sensedthe demonic spiritual power that was hidden in Rocky's body.

It was known that the Shura Race had a dark history. They turned to worship the devils andpracticed various evil skills which ultimately led to the fall of the Shura Race's royal family. Sincethen, the Shura Race had fallen into a devilish road, and it had been difficult to return from it.Although the divine race had won the war later, it was still not enough to change the fate of theShura Race. They could only let the Shura Race continue to cultivate their devilish skills, resulting totheir further decline.

Since King Corey was a direct descendant of the Shura Race's royal family, he happened to havegone through the dark period of the Shura Race. He had inherited the power of the devils from anearly age and also practiced different devilish skills. Therefore, even after inheriting a part ofDeacon's power later on, he still possessed his devilish skills. As a result, the holy power of Coreywas actually half divine and half devilish.

Now, Rocky, who had inherited that same power, also had a half divine and half devilish nature inhis body. That was why the purple devil spirit felt that Rocky's power was indeed strange.

"Aren't you talking too much? How about getting straight to the point and fight with me? Let mesee the true power of the demonic race which you're proud of!" Rocky blatantly provoked the devilspirit in order for the two girls to replace a chance to save the Spiritual Emperors.
