At that critical moment, the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast's voice echoed in Rocky's mind. "Wait! You
can't control the Divine Spiritual Source with your current strength. If you go on like this, you will be
devoured alive by its power."
Rocky's eyes turned cold. This was the only thing he could do. It was tantamount to suicide, but he had
no other choice. If it didn't work, he would try to separate the nine spiritual treasures.
"It's still too early for you to do so, but if you are willing to be possessed and become evil, you can
unravel its true form ahead of time. If you do that, you may still have a chance," the Dragon-shaped
Soul Beast said after a moment's hesitation.
"Are you talking about the true form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead?" Rocky replied, enduring the sharp
pain in his head.
"Yes, but if you want to release the final form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead, you have to abandon
everything, fall into the evil, inherit the mantle of Divine King Belial, and cut off all your emotional
connections with human beings. That is to say, once you let loose the true form of the Evil-fight Divine
Bead, you will no longer be a human being, but a stronger existence surpassing the spiritual race.
However, you will also become cold and ruthless, and the people around you will also be affected by
your evil spirit. It is a rather lonely destiny, so please think about this carefully," the Dragon-shaped
Soul Beast continued.
Rocky fell silent after hearing that. Obviously, the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast meant that if he wanted to
obtain more potent power, he had to unravel the true form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead, but he had to
pay the price for it. He would have to sacrifice everything, and would even have to stay away from the
people he loved, cherished, and wanted to protect. He would be all alone for the rest of his life. Of
course, such a price was terrible torture for a human of flesh and blood.
However, Rocky had no time to choose. If he didn't unravel the final form of the Evil-fight Divine Bead,
he wouldn't have enough strength to control the power of the Divine Spiritual Source.
He had no luxury of time here. He needed to make a decision soon.
"Okay. What should I do?" "Put on the Holy Mask," instructed the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast.
Rocky paused in surprise and asked, "The Holy Mask?"
"Yes. The Holy Mask belonged to Divine King Belial in the past, and it is also a divine weapon
condensed by a strong evil will. As long as you wear it, you will be able to unravel the true form of the
Evil-fight Divine Bead.
And the remaining power that has been sealed in your body will be fused again, and your strength will
reach a new realm, a realm that surpasses that of the spiritual race. It is often called the 'King Realm,'
named because it is said to show a king's real power. As long as you wear it, it will help you control
your own fate, the fate of this world, the fate of humans, and the fate of the spiritual race. You will
become the king that controls the fate of this world!" The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast breathed a deep
sigh of relief as it spoke as if it was reminiscing all the difficulties it had encountered in its life.
"So this Holy Mask is the remains of Divine King Belial? Then, is the man referred to as the 'King' in
memory of Holy Lord Divine King Belial?" Rocky was a little shocked by the Dragon-shaped Soul
Beast's words. If the man called "King" was indeed Divine King Belial, then the secrets hidden behind
the death of myriad spiritual race beings must be closely related to him. Perhaps, they had a direct
relationship with each other.
"Your body is about to collapse. Hurry up!" urged the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast.
"But, the Holy Mask has been broken and incomplete..." Rocky said with a frown.
"The real power of the Holy Mask lies in the strong evil will it contains within it. Therefore, as long as
you become evil and merge with the will, the power from the Evil-fight Divine Bead in your body will be
able to repair itself. Just imagine that it is in front of you, and it will appear where you will it," added the
Dragon-shaped Soul Beast quickly.
After Rocky heard that, he immediately concentrated his mind, and the shape of the Holy Mask
instantly appeared in his mind. Almost instantaneously, a light shadow shaped like a mask appeared
out of thin air, materializing in front of him. In a flash, the light took shape. It was the Holy Mask!
"Please, lend me your strength!" Rocky's dark eyes suddenly became cold and evil, as he cast aside all
his human emotions. Then, he reached out his hand to the Holy Mask. The moment his hand touched
it, the Holy Mask suddenly burst out a strong evil power, which manifested as thick, black smoke. It
suddenly changed from an ordinary mask to a mask fitting for an evil king. The cracks on the Holy
Mask started fusing with each other, like wounded skin healing on its own. The cracks knitted together
like an invisible thread was patching it up, and soon, the mask was repaired and gradually integrated
into a perfect face mask. At last, the perfect and evil Holy Mask appeared in front of him.
"Once you put it on, you will have to cut off all your ties to your past," reminded the Dragon-shaped
Soul Beast somberly. Rocky narrowed his eyes and looked at Marcia, who was standing not far away.
At the same time, Marcia seemed to have sensed his gaze, and as she looked up, their eyes met in an
electrifying gaze. Suddenly, Marcia felt like something terrible would happen to Rocky.
Meanwhile, Alyssa, who was leading the Wood Clan members to fight against the calamity beast, also
noticed that Rocky was acting strangely. Even while fighting, she began to worry about him.
In the next breath, Rocky reached up and put on the Holy Mask, obscuring his entire face. Its evil light
shone as if it had merged with his face. Then, he felt an extremely powerful evil will pouring into his
head from the Holy Mask and occupying his entire mind as if another soul had seized his body.
Between one blink and the next, Rocky's eyes changed instantly. His eyes resembled the glassy and
lifeless eyes of a cold-blooded and ruthless man. His whole face looked like it was carved from marble
—emotionless and cruel.
"Ha-ha!" The next moment, Rocky suddenly burst into peals of wild laughter full of evil energy, which
shocked the heaven and earth.
All the members of the spiritual race who heard his laughter were stunned. In their eyes, Rocky looked
like he was seconds away from being devoured by the Divine Spiritual Source's power. Despite his
situation, he could still laugh so carelessly. What was going on with him?
Meanwhile, he looked up at the sky and let out a great shout. "Release your power! Evil-fight Divine
Bead!" The whole sky was instantaneously covered with dark clouds, as lightning flashed and thunder
roared endlessly. Waves of tremendous evil energy roared and filled heaven and earth.
After that, the ninth layer of the seal in Rocky's body was removed. The strong spiritual power surged
in his body in an instant, turning into countless beams of black light that spilled out of his body, as if
they were about to break through his skin.
