The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1324 - 657: Arrogance (Second Update)
A terrifying disturbance formed a vortex thousands of yards long in the Spirit Realm, with ripples of light and darkness clashing against each other. The powerful tremors dispersed all the matter in the Spirit Realm, causing countless cracks to appear in the space.
At the center of the vortex, a Mysterious Shadow swirled around the King like lightning.
Part of it was firmly binding the King, while the other part was combating the Flame Giant Sword.
Black Water continuously seeped from its body, but the golden flame did not extinguish. Instead, it grew even stronger, evaporating all the Black Water.
"Hmm, luckily, the Holy Fire is far enough from here. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the Black Water seeped into it."
The King murmured softly to himself.
This was the best place he chose for the final showdown, far from the Holy Fire’s projection in the Spirit Realm, and even farther from the Holy Fire’s essence.
In his long stay within the Spirit Realm, the King had mostly figured out the source of his calamity.
It was an infinitely deep darkness at the other end of the Spirit Realm, in the distant Starry Sky.
However, he could not directly go to the source of the darkness, first, he had to deal with the threat within his soul.
This was a kind of Spirit Sensing, his spirit’s feedback to all spiritual changes in this vast universe. When such a mysterious change began to work against him, his Intuition would sense it.
But such a sensing was vague, usually unable to obtain more specific information, which the King had been pursuing for a long time.
He believed that if possible, actively striking out and resolving all hidden dangers was the most correct choice.
But how could he actively strike out and resolve it when he did not know its source?
After long contemplation, the King chose a very risky method.
——He knew very well that this threat targeted all Fire Guardians resonating with the Holy Fire. Its Source definitely came from the Black Fog, so as long as his spirit was further exposed, this sensing would inevitably be very clear.
Fortunately, his choice was correct. The King successively discovered multiple threat points, killing dozens of Black Fog Symbionts lurking in the Spirit Realm, and found more information from their souls and remnants.
Thus, this final battle ensued.
The King was in a very unfavorable situation.
He was in the Spirit Realm, far from the Holy Fire. Pure spirits without the protection of a Soul Body and no Life bearer were extremely dangerous.
But he knew that only this way would the Mysterious Shadow descend.
"It’s time."
The King said softly.
In his burning eyes, the Golden Sand Hourglass turned slightly, and the firelight on the giant sword suddenly surged, instantly slicing through the body of the Mysterious Shadow.
The Mysterious Shadow let out a sharp screech, as limitless Black Fog poured out.
But from the King’s body, innumerable golden flames surged, the confrontation between light and darkness entering into a white-hot stage.
At this moment, a black hole suddenly appeared in the King’s body, a large mass of strange black shadows pouring out like feathers covering the King’s body.
The brightness of the fire was instantly reduced, the darkness pressed down immediately.
A bizarre voice echoed in the Void.
"Hahaha, King of Trolian, did not expect this, did you? As the Avatar of Fire, you would one day fall under the influence of a dark curse! You must be very puzzled, but I will not reveal the truth to you. Just die in humiliation; your death is the beginning of Trolian’s destruction, humanity’s Epoch should end, the eternal darkness Epoch should come, oh great Supreme Will, this is my gift to you!"
With rampant laughter, the black shadow gradually spread, covering the King.
However, the King’s expression remained as calm as before, without the slightest change.
In his eyes, the Golden Sand Hourglass rotated once again.
Suddenly, his burning hands broke free from the restraints, protruding from the shadow, grasping the air before him.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
In the air, a struggling gray shadow gradually emerged.
"Oh, is this the projection of Malice?"
The King smiled slightly.
"Ark, I have been looking for you for a long time."
"What! What are you saying?" The gray shadow screamed frantically: "Impossible, how did you free yourself from the curse?"
Crash.
The black shadow cracked like a fragment, and the golden flames surged once more.
The King’s whole body glowed intensely, the gray shadow struggling in agony, its form diminishing rapidly.
"Ark, did you underestimate me?"
The King clasped his hands, and the Golden Light devoured it instantly.
"Don’t you know I am the King of Trolian?"
Boom, the gray shadow exploded instantly.
The King raised his right hand and waved it gently. A beam of Golden Light flashed through the sky and the earth, slicing the Mysterious Shadow into two halves.
The Mysterious Shadow screamed madly, the entire Spirit Realm beginning to shake. In the space, an infinitely deep darkness seeped out, as if it were space itself, quickly dyeing the Spirit Realm in black.
The King’s expression grew solemn.
"Source Black Fog..."
The Mysterious Shadow let out a shrill roar, gathering the primordial Black Fog on its body.
In just a moment, this twisted ghostly shadow restored itself and grew more powerful.
In the air, Ark’s voice reappeared.
"Hahaha, King of Trolian, give up your futile struggle, Black Fog is the unchanging Truth of this world, do not resist, the river of history cannot be stopped..."
Boom!
Before the voice fell, the golden flame pierced the heavens and the earth, engulfing the Mysterious Shadow.
Ark’s voice was interrupted again, filled with disbelief:
"This... Why? Why do you still possess such powerful strength even though you are far from the Holy Fire and merely in a spirit State? The Holy Fire seems to be right by your side, could it be... no, impossible, you are not the True King, you have not yet achieved the True King."
