The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1622 - 766: Awakening of the King

After eliminating the scattered black tides, Trolian’s advancement encountered no further obstacles.

Many areas even turned into vacant spaces without monsters, where the warriors didn’t have to fight. Just planting a Spirit Lamp there completed the occupation.

The speed of advancement increased by dozens of times at one point, with all the powerful monsters vanishing without a trace, leaving only dust to be swept away.

It was only when they advanced to 1,500 kilometers away that the previous state gradually resumed.

Everyone then understood that Rod’s strike severed all the terrors within a thousand kilometers radius.

No wonder in most of the legends handed down, only a true King can save civilization and offer protection to humanity.

Horus finally understood the gap between him and Rod; this step difference is as vast as heaven and earth. A Monarch is ultimately a Monarch; even if Rod is not a complete True King, he is beyond comparison.

"I must complete the True King Ceremony as soon as possible to become a true king."

He silently resolved in his heart.

"By then, Trolian will have three True Kings. The King, Rod, and I standing side by side might be able to challenge the legendary Ancient God."

"Perhaps, as they say, all sources of evil stem from the Supreme Will; as long as the Supreme Will is defeated, both the Black Fog and the Evil Thought will dissipate on their own."

With his thoughts settled, Horus focused on the battle. The complete power of the Bright Light Source Law was very strong, like a sharp sword or a piercing stab, easily piercing through the "nodes" of the Black Fog’s existence and thereby easily destroying it. But if it didn’t hit accurately, the astonishing destructive power of the Bright Light would be greatly reduced.

He still hadn’t utilized it to the limit; in the rainstorm of Bright Light, at least half of the sword stabs did not hit the "nodes." In fact, each strike of the Bright Light contained billions of such "nodes," the stronger the monster, the more these nodes, which is why his performance against Strong King Level monsters was far inferior to Rod’s.

In retrospect, Rod simply didn’t want to waste Spiritual Energy on weak monsters; otherwise, no matter how thick the monster’s hide, if he summoned the "Flower of Destruction," what monster could withstand it?

"I still need to quickly adapt and master this power."

With a wave of his hand, millions of Bright Light Blades pierced through the air, cutting down swathes of monsters like straw, but in this rainstorm of Bright Light, each monster had only one wound.

Countless plumes of black smoke rose, and Horus opened his hands. The flickering Bright Light accumulated on him, reaching its limit before gradually thinning into a shining sea urchin.

This wasn’t out of a special fondness for the shape, but due to following the rules of Bright Light, it’s the shape that appeared, also displaying his incomplete mastery over the full form of Bright Light. Part of the Bright Light collapsed, forming a spiked ball.

More monsters surged forward, and the sea urchin collided without hesitation, starting a new round of slaughter.

Behind him were countless human elites and warriors, a tide of fire devouring the darkness.

But among these strong individuals, Rod’s figure was not seen.

This wasn’t because Rod had to rest after using beyond-limit power; in fact, he could continue fighting, but the true reason was that the King had awakened.

Thus, Rod returned to the Royal City ahead of time, resting was secondary; more important was discussing matters concerning the third True King with the King.

For Horus to perform the True King Ceremony and achieve the status of a true monarch, he must leverage humanity’s fortune, otherwise, he couldn’t complete Source Ascension. The Sea of Source has a huge repulsive force toward the quantifiable source; such forces are so strong that not even the King’s Spiritual Energy of up to 40 million Kil刻 can shake it. The True King Ceremony must be used as vehicle, and humanity’s fortune as the axle to ascend the Strong Source in the soul to the Root Origin.

Yet the King’s might had already occupied almost all of Trolian’s fortune, leaving no space for Horus to ascend.

In order for a third True King to be born, the method mentioned in the Pope’s last words must be used, utilizing the improved final Ascension Ceremony to forcibly fuse Divine Source Material as soul vessel, reducing the need for fortune.

The importance of this matter is beyond doubt, and only Rod can accomplish it.

Hence, as soon as the news of the King’s awakening returned, he immediately made his way back to the Royal City.

Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Under the surge of golden Holy Fire, after several days, Rod once again saw the King.

After being schemed and soul polluted by Ancient Evil Thought, the King had slumbered in Holy Fire for many days. Through Soul Master Priscilla’s soul surgery and the Archbishop’s Bright Light Purification, only today was the pollution completely cleared, stepping out from the Holy Fire.

He showed no signs of fatigue or depletion, the golden funnel-shaped eyes were brimming with divine light, as if fire burned within. The flame crown boiled above his head, and the flame robe surrounded him. The King appeared not the least bit weakened; Rod even vaguely sensed he had grown stronger.

"Why is this?"

Rod was very surprised, as the King’s Spiritual Energy had long reached the 17th level limit and couldn’t be enhanced further.

"Could it be that his Divine Country or Root Origin has strengthened?"

The Book of Knowledge reminded: "The Holy Fire has entered the third stage, and the King resonates with the Holy Fire, naturally becoming stronger."

Rod nodded quickly, descending to stand before the King.

"Little Rod."

Seeing him, the King’s face was full of smiles, the golden funnel-shaped eyes that shone with comfort and admiration.
