The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1403 - 687: Invincible

At the moment Rod’s spiritual movement touched the "Star Shuttle," everyone felt an extraordinary power, as if a tremendously powerful presence was surfacing from the depths of the sea, an invisible wave similar to a field spreading out, suppressing all their powers into their souls.

"W-what is this?"

Jelaba’s eyes widened.

"My soul, no, my presence is being compressed... Rod, brother, is this a power you’ve just mastered?"

Rod didn’t speak, he was already beyond words, the terrifying spiritual energy was gathering at unprecedented speed, a shining light appeared within his soul.

It was like a black hole, rapidly absorbing his spiritual energy, the spiritual energy that flowed in his soul was drained clean in the blink of an eye.

The "Star Shuttle" emitted boundless light, frantically squeezing his soul, like water being wrung from a sponge.

Spiritual energy emanated from his soul at an unimaginable speed, his total spiritual energy rapidly declined, and the luster of his soul visibly dimmed.

But that light had already brightened to a terrifying degree.

Its aura, even Rod felt a suffocating pressure, others even more so, everyone had distanced themselves from Rod, only Jelaba was still attempting to attract the monsters, gathering them together.

First Level Combatant Ye Feng shouted, "Lord Jelaba, it’s dangerous, get out of there!"

Another person shouted, "This might be a power Lord Rod has just mastered, he can’t control it flexibly yet, don’t get accidentally harmed!"

Jelaba sensed the danger crashing like waves, knowing he couldn’t linger, quickly retreated to the other side after gathering the monsters.

The monsters’ instincts also sensed unease; they dared not pursue or attack Rod, slowly retreating.

Only the Withering King turned tail and fled.

The next second, Rod’s spiritual energy reached its peak, and when it burst forth, the world turned gray, the boundless light like the explosion of the universe’s origin, layers of intensely bright white light stacked up, as if substantial, expanding in all directions like countless white blades.

The terrifying yet magnificent scene was something no one had witnessed, monsters engulfed by it melted like butter or disappeared like ice under scorching sun.

The light flickered only three times, lasting less than a second, but to everyone, it felt as long as a lifetime.

When it faded, all that remained on the ground was a massive crater, the monsters’ lair, the monsters, rubble, mountains—all no longer existed.

The world was utterly silent, no one could speak, they had never seen such terrifying destructive power, although the burst of spiritual energy wasn’t the strongest, everyone believed its might was unparalleled.

Suddenly, a scream snapped everyone back.

"Look, the Withering King is going to escape!"

Everyone turned to see the Withering King already beyond the range of the Holy Fire, about to slip into the Black Fog.

"Quick, chase!"

"We can’t let it escape!"

In an instant, everyone was roused, urgently pursuing.

Jelaba was the fastest, landing a blow to drive the Withering King into the ground.

Immediately, everyone surrounded it, launching a frenzied assault like beating a dog that had fallen into the water.

At this moment, the terrifying image of the King Level Monster faded away in their eyes; even though Trolian had already slain many King Level Monsters, the former fear still made them apprehensive facing them.

Moreover, most cataclysms were caused by King Level Monsters, and the King-Slaying Battle remained the highest honor, participating in it was still seen by many as a lifetime boast-worthy honor.

Until this moment, the King Level Monster fled in panic in front of them, its mysterious veil was finally torn to the ground.

Though still a King Level Monster, in everyone’s mind, it was merely a monster.

Jelaba wielded his giant hammer, driving the Withering King back into the range of the Holy Fire, the flames burning on it, its power greatly suppressed, the "Clear Sky" star phase made the strength of the Black Fog wane.

Under this multiple suppression, the Withering King could only exert less than thirty percent of its peak power, and in the face of numerous strong attackers, it quickly met its doom.

Ye Feng seized the opportunity, bringing out his ultimate skill "Moonlight," targeting the Withering King.

"Hahaha, it’s me who killed the Withering King, let me finish this last strike, from now on, I’m also someone who has killed a King Level Monster!"

But as the Moonlight Arrow hit, the Withering King had already fallen, soul shattered, spiritual energy dissipated.

A figure stood behind it, it was Rod.

"What?"

Ye Feng’s eyes widened.

"When did he go over there? I didn’t see!"

Bang.

The Moonlight Arrow struck the corpse, blasting it into pieces, and under the scorching Holy Fire, it quickly turned to countless black ashes, dissipating into the air. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Rod retrieved his right hand, smiling slightly, everything was understood without words.

The next second, the exhaustion from spiritual energy depletion caused him to collapse to the ground.

———

When Rod opened his eyes again, he was already back at the outpost, Soul Master Priscilla beside him, her soft, cool hands gliding over his body, seemingly checking his soul.

"You’re awake."

Priscilla, seeing him open his eyes, immediately withdrew her hand, a faint blush crossing her fair face.

"Your soul is fine, you just exhausted too much spiritual energy, you just need to rest."
