The Medallion

Chapter 1171 Reach Their Destination

Since the Demonic Sky Land was very close to the border guarded by the Sky Army Group, after discussing with Rocky, Isis sent a message to Shirley, asking her for help.

Two days later, Shirley arrived and joined Rocky and the rest of the group.

It took the group another two days to reach the Demonic Sky Land. It was surrounded by a mysterious primordial forest at the center of the Wild Spirit Land.

The place was as eerie as its name. When they arrived at the entrance of the Demonic Sky Land, the group was welcomed by an extremely horrifying aura, instantly sending chills down their spines.

Since the entire land was surrounded by the primordial forest, it was impossible to see what was waiting for them inside. However, since it was once the territory of the Butterfly Divine Clan, it would only be natural to assume that powerful supernatural beasts roamed the place. They would, at least, be at the same level as those in the Dragon Wing Valley.

Not long after Rocky and the women arrived at the entrance of the Demonic Sky Land, Kayla appeared before them out of nowhere.

"You are too late! A team of humans sent by the Heavenly Demon Clan arrived two days ago!" Kayla grumbled as she glared at the group members.

"Really? Isn't that good? Someone else is clearing the path for us," Rocky replied calmly. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"That's all well and good, but the Heavenly Demon Clan has sent several ordinary spiritual beings to escort the human team. We have to be extra careful. If we fight them head-on, we will be outnumbered and at a severe disadvantage," Kayla added, glancing continuously between Rocky and the women beside him.

He nodded in reply.

Under Kayla's guidance, the team stepped into the Demonic Sky Land.

The temperature suddenly dropped dramatically once they were inside, as if they had just entered the netherworld. The ground of the Demonic Sky Land was tilted at an angle, but they had no sense of descending as they advanced.

The Demonic Sky Land was mainly composed of forest and rocky terrain. From above, the land looked like a humongous meteorite crater, and the skies were guarded by clusters of supernatural beasts. So, there was a high possibility of being attacked from above at all times.

A few minutes into their descent, over a dozen supernatural beasts above five-star level swooped in from the sky and attacked the group.

Fortunately, most of their spirit-manipulated beasts could fight in the air. Moreover, they had Kayla, a powerful member of the spiritual race. The wild beasts posed no threat to them at all for now.

After defeating the beasts, they started the long trudge into the depths of the dangerous land.

A few days into the perilous journey, Rocky noticed fresh tracks on the ground—traces left by humans.

The human team sent by the Heavenly Demon Clan was way ahead of them.

Without delay, Rocky and the others followed the trail. Along the way, they saw the corpses of many supernatural beasts. Their enemies seemed no less powerful than them.

"Looks like the Heavenly Demon Clan has gathered a large number of powerful spirit manipulators," Rocky remarked with a frown.

"Oh! Didn't I tell you? Their team leader is a spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage!" Kayla said, realizing that she had left out that little detail.

"What?!" Rocky and the women screamed in unison. Now, it was quite obvious that the Heavenly Demon Clan desperately needed the spiritual treasure of the Butterfly Divine Clan.

After all, there were very few spirit manipulators at the Immortal Stage throughout the entire Wild Spirit Land. Most of them were very old and lived in seclusion in the mountain forests. For instance, the founding members of the royal family never left the Dragon Valley all year round, unless the Holy Dragon Empire was in some nasty crisis.

So, it was not an easy feat to invite a human spirit manipulator at the Immortal Stage to lead an expedition like this. The team was disheartened by this new information.

"We don't seem to have any advantage whatsoever," Sabina grumbled, disappointed by their lack of luck.

Lucilla sighed and turned to Kayla. "I'm curious. Why did you insist that Basil help you in getting the spiritual treasure? With the power of the spiritual race, it shouldn't be hard for you to find a spirit manipulator stronger than him, right?" she inquired with a puzzled look.

"Ah! That's because the spiritual treasure of the Butterfly Divine Clan is a tiny bit special. The place where it is truly sealed is not just any forbidden area; it is a place where ordinary spirit manipulators cannot enter," Kayla explained mysteriously.

Rocky and the women exchanged curious glances and listened intently.

"A place where ordinary spirit manipulators cannot enter? Where is that?" Isis asked, unable to contain her excitement.

"Oh, I know!" Sue interjected. "I heard from Cherry that the spiritual treasure of the Butterfly Divine Clan is sealed inside the body of their legendary guardian beast!"

"What? Is that true?" Rocky turned to Kayla. Kayla nodded slyly. Rocky scoffed. "Are you saying that we have to grab the spiritual treasure from a legendary guardian beast?"

"Well, not exactly," she explained with a faint smile. "The treasure is in a different space that was created using spiritual power, and this space is inside the body of the legendary guardian beast. Therefore, no one can enter the space unless they are allowed to do so by the beast."

"So you are saying, even if we manage to reach the depths of the forbidden area, we cannot get the spiritual treasure without the beast's permission," Sabina concluded.

"That's right. It doesn't matter how strong you are, you cannot get your hands on the treasure with raw power. And that's the reason why Cherry chose him," Kayla replied, throwing a glance at Rocky. At first, she didn't understand why Cherry had chosen Rocky. It was not until she had witnessed his possession of the three spirit-manipulated beasts and the ancient spiritual beast in the battle against the Dragon Master Clan that she finally realized why Rocky had caught Cherry's attention. She noticed that he had an extraordinary ability in communicating with beasts. It could be possible for him to get the sealed spiritual treasure from inside the legendary guardian beast's body.

Upon hearing her explanation, the team smiled at each other in excitement. This mission seemed to be much more interesting than they had imagined—challenging, but interesting nevertheless.

After two days of gruesome journey, with Kayla's expert guiding and tracking of the rival team, the group finally reached the very depth of the extremely dangerous Demonic Sky Land. Although they had encountered many powerful supernatural beasts along the way, with the current united strength of Rocky's group and the protection of a powerful spiritual master, their advance was nearly unimpeded.

Six more hours later, the group arrived at the ruins of the Butterfly Divine Clan. Compared to the ruins of the Myriad Beasts Ground, this place was even more magnificent and imposing. It was conceivable that the Butterfly Divine Clan had been very prosperous back when they were in power.

Among the ruins, they saw a group of humans moving around busily, along with several members of the spiritual race. The expedition team sent by the Heavenly Demon Clan was already searching for the spiritual treasure.
