Chapter 1257 The Mysterious Woman

The giant ice bird hesitated for a second when it heard the sweet voice, hovering in the air uncertainly.
When it finally started moving, it turned away from Rocky as if it forgot that he existed, did a quick one-
eighty-degree turn, and then flew deeper into the ice forest. Its deafening screech could still be heard,
even as it disappeared from sight.

Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the restraints on his body loosen up. Still, he didn't let his guard
down. He determined that the colossal ice bird was the source of the screams outside, which made a
shiver crawl through his spine. Its aura was even stronger than that of the strongest ancient demonic
beast!

Therefore, at that moment, Rocky was also amazed and curious. He could not help but wonder where
that enormous ice bird came from and why it lived in this strange place.

Soon, however, Rocky heard the sweet voice that had stopped the ice bird from attacking him. As his
head swiveled towards the direction of the voice, he saw a beautiful, mysterious woman standing in an
ice pavilion beside the ice forest. She looked weak and fragile like a thin reed that could easily be
blown away by the wind.

Seeing this, Rocky couldn't help but come closer, as he was afraid that the woman needed help. He
arrived at the ice pavilion and found that, on a closer look, the mysterious woman looked like an angel
that had just fallen to the mortal world, with an extraordinary aura all over her body. Her beautiful face
was clear and pale, bare of any makeup. It was like her skin had been condensed from the purest
water. Her every movement spoke of a graceful charm, irresistible and ready to capture anyone's
attention.

However, what shocked Rocky most was not the woman's beauty. As he studied her face, he could
swear that she looked so familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere else.



Soon, Rocky remembered the twelve statues he had seen in the Heavenly God Temple. The woman in
front of him looked exactly like one of the twelve statues, so he began to suspect that she was the real
body of one of them.

The Heavenly God Temple had already existed since the beginning of the spiritual race. If the woman
were the real body of one of those statues, then that meant she had been alive for a long time already.
But her face didn't look that old. It was obvious that any explanation behind this had already surpassed
the law of heaven and earth!

Of course, Rocky had a lot of reservations. First of all, why was this woman here? Besides, it seemed
that she had been here for a long time. Moreover, what was this woman's identity, and what kind of
relationship did she have with the other eleven statues? As Rocky laid eyes on the mysterious woman,
a door full of secrets seemed to have appeared in front of him.

Before Rocky could figure out what was going on, the woman suddenly looked up at him, her eyes
roving all over his body. Suddenly, she started trembling like a leaf, and rushed up to him with tears
streaming down her face. "You're here! You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I
thought you had forgotten our appointment," she cried out.

Rocky was stunned by her words and intimate actions. It was as if she knew him, but he didn't
recognize her at all. He couldn't figure out what was going on. Objectively, the woman's actions
seemed genuine. It seemed like she truly knew Rocky, and it was as if she had seen her beloved whom
she hadn't seen for a long time.

'What the hell is going on?' Rocky was doubly confused, and everything that was happening was utterly
beyond his expectation and imagination.

"Uhm... Excuse me. I'm sorry, but do we know each other?" Rocky tentatively asked as he pushed the
mysterious woman away.



"Don't you recognize me?" The woman stopped crying and looked at Rocky strangely.

He remained silent, unsure what he should say to the woman that would not upset her more. Rocky
had never seen this woman in his life. But earlier, when they shared that embrace, it felt right. It felt like
something familiar, something safe.

"Belial, don't you recognize me? Why? You can't forget me!" The mysterious woman fervently shook
her head as if she could make him remember by doing so. Suddenly, a compelling aura burst out from
her body, like a violent wind and a massive wave, which slammed against Rocky like a concrete wall.

Rocky felt his breath stop, and his face changed dramatically. It felt like he was drowning, as the ocean
of her power overwhelmed him. It was like a strong wind, blowing him to the edge of a cliff when he
was only one step away from death.

'What a terrifying woman!' Rocky thought to himself. Obviously, this woman was more powerful than
the average person. Even Malcom, who had reached the peak of a ninth-grade of the spiritual race
power, did not give him such a terrifying sense of fear.

Although Rocky was not sure who the woman was, he was confident that she was beyond the
existence of the spiritual race.

A moment later, the aura released by the woman suddenly disappeared. She stared at Rocky as if she
had seen through something and said, "You are not him, but you have his strength and aura on your
body, and you look exactly like him..."

"Who do you mean by saying 'you'?" Rocky asked.

"He is the embodiment king of evil!" the woman answered eagerly. She sounded flush with infatuation,
and her eyes turned glassy as she talked about the man. She seemed lost in their memories.



"Wait..." Rocky suddenly connected the dots in his mind. "Is he Divine King Belial?" As soon as this
thought occurred to Rocky, he immediately got in touch with Divine King Belial. He was astonished that
the woman in front of him seemed to be connected to the evil king, and it appeared that she had been
waiting for him all this time as if she didn't know that the king had long disappeared from the world.

However, Rocky abruptly realized a more shocking problem. This woman just said that he looked
exactly like Divine King Belial, and she was one of the twelve human statues. If his speculations were
accurate, then the one among the twelve human statues he had seen in the Heavenly God Temple who
looked exactly like him would be Divine King Belial.

So Divine King Belial was also one of the twelve statues.

"Why do you possess the power of Belial? Did he send you here for me? But why didn't he come here
himself?" The mysterious woman peppered him with so many questions like a dissatisfied housewife
that Rocky didn't know which to answer first.

"I do have the power of Divine King Belial, but he didn't send me to find you," Rocky explained.

"Where is he? He told me that he would come here to keep me company after everything was settled?
Did he go back on his word?" The woman's face darkened, and Rocky knew he had to pull himself
together, or the situation could become worse. He didn't want to fight this woman!

"If you want to know where he is, I need you to answer some of my questions first," Rocky suggested
with a frown.

The woman seemed eager to know the whereabouts of Divine King Belial, so she answered without
hesitation, "What do you want to know?"

"How did all the beings buried in the Myriad Spirit Tomb die? And who are the twelve statues in the
Heavenly God Temple? Besides you and Divine King Belial, who are the ten other figures?" Rocky



asked straightforwardly.
