Chapter 1872 Specks Of Light

"Master, I am going to help you!" Anya suddenly called out. Her strength was supposed to have
reached the limit, but she quickly rushed beside Rocky to assist him.

All of a sudden, she turned into a burst of spiritual light and enveloped Rocky, making his aura soar into
the sky as if it was similar to a god's.

"Anya?" Feeling the sudden change in his aura, Rocky could just clench his fists. He knew that Anya
was giving him her last ounce of strength, so he could not let it go to waste. At this moment, all he
needed to do was secure the Purgatorial Tripod and not let it fall into anyone else's hands.

The next moment, Rocky brandished the God-killing Sword. As he faced Coen again, he revealed a
domineering stance, eager to defeat the enemy that would stand in his way. Then, a stream of divine
power poured into the sword.

"Take this! Divine Punishment!" Immediately after, the God-killing Sword revealed a dazzling golden
light. Its tremendous power surged towards Coen as if it was going to engulf him.

In the blink of an eye, the power of the sword spread over and tried to devour Coen.

However, Rocky knew that this wasn't enough to kill Coen. But at least, it would be enough to give him
some time to seize the Purgatorial Tripod.

At this moment, Rocky was now in front of the tripod. However, as soon as he touched it, an
astonishing force gushed out and went directly inside his body.

Obviously, Rocky was caught off guard. Fortunately, the divine force that was residing on his body had
not yet receded. With it and the Magic Icy Armor, he was spared from any injury. However, the impact
of the power was still strong enough to make him feel a little weak. Even his face turned quite pale.



At the same time, Anya's power left Rocky's body after it finally ran out. Right now, her spirit form was
almost transparent as if it was on the verge of disappearing at any time.

"Master, I'm sorry but I already consumed all my strength. It seems that I won't be able to help you
anymore," Anya said dejectedly. Until the last moment, she still wanted to help Rocky accomplish his
goal.

"It's all right. You have done plenty enough. Have a good rest now. I promise that I'll take care of
everything," Rocky replied with a burning conviction. If it weren't for Anya's help, he wouldn't have been
able to stop the demoness previously. Although he knew that losing Anya right now would be a huge
blow, it was clear to him that he should move forward and not waste all her efforts. At this point, all he
needed to do was get a hold of the Purgatorial Tripod and secure it.

However, at this time, Coen suddenly appeared. He took a direct hit from the God-killing Sword, so he
had to use some time to recover. From the look on his face, he was so infuriated that it seemed like he
could swallow Rocky alive. He felt exasperated and humiliated that a mere member of the Shura Race
could push him to this extent. Now, he was ready to get back at the young man.

The next moment, Coen rushed towards Rocky, letting out a violent power that seemed like a
vehement storm.

Since the two were too close, Rocky had no time to dodge the attack. Hence, in a flash, he was
enveloped by Coen's power, and his body experienced the impact of a terrifying force.

Although Rocky possessed a divine body and he also had the Magic Icy Armor, he was already on his
limit after using the power of the God-killing Sword just now.

At this point, he was just moving through his sheer willpower. The thought of fulfilling his mission and
returning to his original world were the only things that kept him going.



Then, out of nowhere, under the stimulation of his unyielding willpower, Rocky's body unleashed
vicious flames that instantly overwhelmed Coen's power.

The very next moment, Rocky released an astounding aura as if he was possessed by a god. Right
now, it seemed that his consciousness was taken over by someone else.

"This aura... I cannot be mistaken. Is that you, King Corey?!" Anya suddenly exclaimed. Behind Rocky,
she could see a very familiar figure.

It was indeed Corey, the former king of the Shura Race whose memories and power were inherited by
Rocky.

"Anya, I did not expect that I will have the chance to see you again," Corey said with a gentle smile.

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me! I was too weak to stop them from entering the Demon
Sealing Palace. Now, the tripod is in danger of being taken by others," Anya said in a remorseful tone.

"Don't say that. You've dutifully done your mission, and you still exerted all your efforts to help even if
this is already not your battle. You have done more than enough," Corey replied warmly.

"Your Royal Highness, are you..." Anya wanted to ask something, but she stopped mid-sentence.

"Yes. I have been dead for a long time, and unfortunately, I was killed by the person closest to me.
However, before I died, I know that it couldn't end that way, so I turned a part of my vital energy and
strength into the Scarlet Heaven Jade. For a long time, I had been waiting for my successor," Corey
recounted. After hearing this, Anya finally understood what happened.

"Well, the heir that you have chosen is indeed extraordinary. In fact, he is very similar to you," Anya
remarked with a smile. As she remembered the first time she met Rocky, she was instantly convinced
that he was Corey's successor.



"I know. This must be fate, and everything was pre-arranged by the heavens. He came to the Demon
Sealing Palace and obtained the power that I infused with the Purgatorial Tripod. His current power
should just be a step lower than the God Realm," Corey said calmly, confident that Rocky could do well
as his successor.

"I see. I guess you have expected all of this to happen even before," Anya sighed in relief, knowing that
all her efforts were not in vain.

"Who the hell are you? You are not the same person before!" At this time, Coen could see that Rocky's
aura became like that of Corey. Of course, he was familiar with Corey's aura, so he instantly became
wary. After all, Corey was the one who sealed him and his brothers in the Demon Sealing Palace back
then.

"Coen, I take it that you vividly remember what happened to the entire giant demon race when you tried
to get your hands on Phillip's soul. I can see that you are doing the same thing again. You are just
repeating that same mistake that you did before." Corey glared at Coen coldly while exuding an
authoritative aura.

"What the hell is going on? Corey, it is really you!" Obviously, Coen was stunned upon learning that it
was indeed Corey.

"After being imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Palace for over a thousand years, you haven't learned
your lesson yet? I guess I can seal you guys again if that is what you want!" In an instant, the God-
killing Sword in Rocky's hand flew and circled in the air. Then, it was enveloped in raging flames,
making it look like a mighty phoenix.

"It's the flaming phoenix! Damn it! I'm out of here!" Seeing Corey's signature skill, Coen was instantly
scared out of his wits. Now that the situation had become extremely unfavorable, he didn't care about



Phillip's soul anymore. He immediately turned into a green light and flew towards the entrance of the
Demon Sealing Palace as fast as he could.

After seeing what happened, Cody and Callan also stopped fighting the demoness and ran after their
brother.

"Your Royal Highness, they are getting away! Are we just going to let them run free?" Anya shouted.

"Yes. Just let them go. There are more important things to be done right now. Moreover, it's also time
for me to leave," Corey said as he closed his eyes.

"Your Royal Highness!" Anya could just call out to Corey with a heavy heart. Deep inside, she knew
that it would be the last time that she saw him.

"Ugh… what happened to me just now?" After a while, Rocky finally came to his senses and opened
his eyes.

"Oh, you have come to. How are you? Do you feel that your strength has increased dramatically?"
Anya pretended that she was okay. She did not say anything about Corey and she also changed the
subject.

At the same time, Rocky tried to focus on his body, and he instantly noticed that his originally
exhausted power had been already replenished. Moreover, just like Anya said, it was several times
stronger than before. It was as if he had completely absorbed the power that came from the Purgatorial
Tripod earlier.

"You have now completely inherited King Corey's power. With that, your overall strength is only a step
away from the God Realm. Congratulations!" Anya uttered with a huge smile.

"What? Really?" Rocky did not expect that the power that rushed into him was actually from Corey.



"Now that there is no one to hinder you, you should get the Purgatorial Tripod," Anya suggested.

Rocky's expression became serious and he started walking towards the tripod without any hesitation.
This time, when he touched the Purgatorial Tripod, it no longer rejected him. Instead, it glowed slightly
as if it was responding to his power.

Soon enough, the four golden chains that were restraining the tripod were also cut off.

"It will be the safest if I can seal the tripod into the Magic Spiritual Space first," Rocky murmured as he
took the tripod in his hand. Immediately after, he sent the Purgatorial tripod into the Magic Spiritual
Space to keep it safe.

However, the moment the tripod disappeared, the entire Demon Sealing Place began to tremble
violently. At the same time, the altar beneath Rocky's feet began to crack and collapse.

"Anya, the whole place is about to crumble. We have to get out of here!" Rocky said.

"I'm afraid I have to decline. All of my strength has been used up. So, even if I leave this place, I won't
be able to live on. Furthermore, my wish was already granted. Please let me disappear along with the
Demon Sealing Palace!" Anya said with a sad smile.

Hearing this, Rocky could not help but become teary-eyed. Although he had only known Anya for a
very short time, he knew that she was a very admirable person.

"Come on. Off you go!" After uttering these last words, Anya turned into specks of light and dissipated
in the air.

Before moving on, Rocky heaved a deep breath. Then, he flew towards the entrance of the
palace.
