Eunice was quite startled. She hadn't expected to get attacked all of a sudden. Immediately, she
released her spiritual power in an attempt to intimidate the Purple-flaming Phoenix, hoping that she
could hold it off for at least a while.
Unfortunately, her spiritual power had no effect on the phoenix, which continued to advance. In a
moment, its overwhelming power enveloped Eunice. Fear rose within her as she realized that she was
already within the attack range of the phoenix. No matter how fast she ran, she would not be able to
escape the attack. All she could do now was to use her spiritual power to protect her body. At the same
time, she threw out a defensive spiritual tool.
But the Purple-flaming Phoenix was quicker. It spurted out purple flame which directly melted the
defensive spiritual tool, and then charged towards her spiritual power.
"Damn it!" By now, desperation was evident on Eunice's face. The power of the purple flame was
obviously stronger than hers, and it was too late to dodge it. Just as the purple flame was about to
break through her spiritual power and burn her body, however, it stopped in mid-air. Seeming to sense
something, the Purple-flaming Phoenix curiously turned its head.
At the moment, with the full attention of the audience, Rocky walked towards the phoenix. There was a
strange aura exuding from his body. It was not the usual aura of a spirit warrior, but another kind of
aura that was full of deterrence, as if it could make all spiritual beasts surrender in front of him.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events. However, in their opinion, Rocky's decision to
approach the Purple-flaming Phoenix was equivalent to courting death. It was obvious that the phoenix
had gone mad. At the time, no one would be able to stop it, except for a master at the King Realm
possessing an Imperial Soul.
"Basil, be careful..." Eunice knew that Rocky had attracted the Purple-flaming Phoenix's attention on
purpose so that she could have a chance to escape. Otherwise, if she had been touched by the purple
flame, she might already be dead. But now, seeing that the phoenix had changed its target to Rocky,
she could not help but worry.
All the while, Rocky was still steadily approaching the phoenix without fear. The phoenix didn't move at
all, seemingly affected by Rocky's peculiar aura.
The seemingly calm scene was, in fact, full of danger, because Rocky was trying to use the Mysterious
Beast Transformation Skill to forcefully connect with the spiritual sense of the Purple-flaming Phoenix,
which was much more powerful than his. If he failed, the consequences could be deadly.
Sure enough, a moment later, the phoenix suddenly let out a roar, as if it was irritated, and flew towards
Rocky.
Rocky narrowed his eyes, but showed no signs of moving out of the way. As the Purple-flaming
Phoenix approached, it spurted out the purple flame, burning the area of dozens of meters around
Rocky. The next moment, the purple flash disappeared, revealing scorched earth with small, lingering
patches of flames.
To everyone's surprise, Rocky had disappeared.
Realizing that it had lost its target, the phoenix became even more furious. It immediately looked
around for Rocky, but since it couldn't find him, it targeted the powerful warriors at the King Realm
standing nearby.
Those disciples immediately broke out in a cold sweat and fled again in all directions.
"I'm here." Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
Hearing that, all the people present looked towards the source of the voice and saw that Rocky had
once again appeared in front of the Purple-flaming Phoenix, seemingly out of nowhere.
"What does he want to do?" For a moment, Eunice had been glad that Rocky had managed to escape
the wrath of the Purple-flaming Phoenix. But now that he was back, she was worried again. In her
eyes, what Rocky was doing was akin to bringing about his own destruction.
The phoenix had no intention of losing Rocky, so it wildly rushed forward without any hesitation. At the
same time, Rocky soared into the air and faced the phoenix's flame head-on. At the very last moment,
he tilted his body and narrowly avoided the flame. Then, in a flash, he sped up and appeared above the
phoenix's head.
Before the phoenix could react, Rocky pressed his palm on its forehead. His eyes flashed as he used
the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to forcefully enter its spiritual sense.
Although he had entered the spiritual sense of spiritual beasts countless times in the Wild Spirit Land, it
was the first time he was doing so in the Supreme Ether Land. Moreover, the Purple-flaming Phoenix
was not an ordinary spiritual beast, but a demonic spiritual beast that was much stronger. Therefore, it
was very risky for him to enter its spiritual sense by force with the Mysterious Beast Transformation
Skill.
But as the saying went, nothing ventured, nothing gained. For Rocky, any adventure was of great
significance.
The next moment, he found himself in the spiritual sense of the Purple-flaming Phoenix. Unlike the
spiritual senses he had seen before, the Purple-flaming Phoenix's spiritual sense was like a whirlpool.
All its meridians were spiraling, spreading deep into various circles.
At the same time, its spiritual power raged inside like a storm, preventing anything from approaching.
Despite that, with his rich experience, Rocky avoided the impact of the spiritual power windstorm. In the
end, he passed through it untouched and reached the core of the spiritual sense, where the divine
sense of the demonic spiritual beast was located.
To his surprise, the divine sense of the Purple-flaming Phoenix was very pure and not demonized at all.
"It has evolved into a demonic spiritual beast, but its spiritual sense is still in the form of a spiritual
beast. It's really surprising, but maybe it's not a bad thing," Rocky murmured to himself.
Compared with the divine sense of a demonic spiritual beast, a spiritual beast's was much easier to
control. Therefore, without any hesitation, Rocky approached the Purple-flamed Phoenix's divine sense
and connected with it using the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill.
Meanwhile, on the outside, the man and the beast seemed to be frozen in midair.
Everyone was stunned by the scene. They didn't know what was going on and couldn't figure out why
Rocky and the phoenix had suddenly paused in the middle of their battle.
However, some ambitious warriors at the King Realm thought that that was a good chance for them.
They suddenly rushed out and charged at the phoenix, intending to take the opportunity to subdue it.
What they did not know was that Rocky and the phoenix should not be disturbed at that time, or there
was no telling what would happen.
All of a sudden,
a woman suddenly flew in front of Rocky and the phoenix and turned to face the approaching warriors.
"No one is allowed to get close!" she shouted.
It was none other than Eunice.
"Eunice, what do you mean? Do you want to see the Purple-flaming Phoenix taken away by this guy
alone?" asked Hayden, who had long disliked Rocky.
"No. But he shouldn't be disturbed now," Eunice replied coldly.
"Bullshit! We don't care whether he is disturbed or not. We just want the Purple-flaming Phoenix,"
Hayden retorted.
"Then you have to defeat me first," Eunice warned, preparing for battle.
"Come on, Eunice. I don't want to fight against you, but I have no choice if you're going to be so
stubborn," Hayden shouted, getting exasperated. He knew the moment was the best time to get rid of
Rocky.
"Beat me if you can!" Eunice did not show any weakness.
"Fine, let us fight you." The two men behind Hayden rushed forward first and fought Eunice.
Because of her limited strength, Eunice was unable to hold off the approaching disciples while still
fighting with the two powerful warriors at the King Realm.
Easily getting past her, Hayden and a few of the other disciples approached Rocky, and were about to
stop him.
