The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1663 - 780: Starry Sky Devourer (Second Update)
Since the Sun Knight’s rebirth, Kai’s soul has been constantly strengthening, and now his Spiritual Energy has reached 2.6 million kilok.
Even without the Ascension Ceremony, at this rate, he will eventually break through to level 17 Spiritual Energy.
This is why he was chosen as the second candidate for the Ascension Ceremony—Kai’s potential is so immense and active that the number of cycles needed for the ceremony will be reduced.
The Royal City’s reserves of the Three Elements are still low, unable to support too many cycles of the Ascension Ceremony.
Moreover, the fewer cycles required, the fewer resources are needed.
This way, the Royal City can perform the Ascension Ceremony for more people.
Although since the end of the Blood God battle, Kai has been fighting continuously, his State is very good and he only needed a short period of adjustment.
The Ascension Ceremony is still held at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
The closer the ceremony is to the fire, the greater the power; there is no better location than the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
Rod, Horus, Bossivale, Luo Weiya, and others were all present.
The King also sent a wisp of Spirit from the Spirit Realm, observing the scene.
Sufficient True Silver, Spiritual Crystals, and gemstones were delivered to Rod, and he extended his hand, releasing 11 million kilok of Spiritual Energy to pulverize and fuse these materials, engraving them on the ground.
A moment later, a complicated seventeen-sided figure appeared on the ground.
Rod placed 2 Light Stones, 2 Pure Star Sources, 2 Pure Star Marrows, and 1 Divine Stone into the ceremony.
A hazy glow rose thereafter, intertwining with the Holy Fire.
"The ceremony is ready,"
Rod said with a smile.
"Kai, come in."
The Sun Knight appeared relaxed as he entered the ceremony, half-jokingly asking, "Little Rod, after completing the Ascension Ceremony, can I fight alongside you?"
Rod pondered, "If all goes well, given your potential, just three cycles of the Ascension Ceremony will suffice to reach the level of a great Monarch."
Kai smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, "That’s great, I thought we, the remnants of the old era, would never catch up with you."
Rod chuckled and, following the guidance of the Book of the Future and the Book of Knowledge, pressed his hands to the ground to commence the Ascension Ceremony.
Having had prior experience, this Ascension Ceremony proceeded exceptionally smoothly, with the Spiritual Ocean stirring a tsunami, and the Sun Knight’s soul receiving the cleansing of the Spirit.
During the ceremony, Rod was astonished to discover, deep within his soul, it was as if he harbored a sun—the Ascension Ceremony merely sought to release this sun from the depths of the soul.
Before long, the ceremony was complete.
All the Elements turned to ashes, the Divinity from the Divine Stone depleted, leaving ordinary stone behind, the ceremony collapsed, with only charred markings left on the ground.
The Sun Knight stood with eyes closed, seemingly unchanged.
But in the Dream Realm, the voice from the Book of Knowledge was utterly shocked: "This, how is this possible?"
The Book of the Future was equally startled: "Oh my, his future has transformed, I can no longer see it..."
In the next instant, endless Golden Light erupted from the Sun Knight’s body, as if a golden sunrise rose before everyone’s eyes.
Asa suddenly shouted, "I see it, I see it, he possesses the Soul Ripple of the Ancient Sun God, his soul contains the purest Power of the Sun!"
Rod exclaimed, "Asa, have you taken control of the Evil Thought Space, can you see the Evil Thought Stele?"
Asa laughed heartily, "Indeed, Master, I successfully found Ak’s loophole, shattered his spirit, and seized control of the Evil Thought Space! The Evil Thought Space is now under my control, and I can freely inspect the Evil Thought Stele!"
Space trembled, and the invisible ripples of the Sea of Source emerged, with powerful Spiritual Energy soaring into the sky, and the aura of Source Law engulfing the entire Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.
Everyone’s eyes widened; the scene before them was familiar—wasn’t this Source Ascension? And it’s the Source Ascension of the Root Origin!
"Oh my god."
Bossivale shouted in shock.
"Kai is stepping into the True King Domain."
Horus shouted, "How is this possible? He didn’t even perform the True King Ceremony, doesn’t his soul need to bear the weight? The Root Origin is supposed to descend, the Sea of Source repels any quantified Root Origin!"
Rod also urgently asked in his heart, "Asa, what is happening?"
In the Dream Realm, the sound of Asa’s wild laughter echoed in his mind.
"This is the Soul Ripple of the Ancient Sun God!"
"He is a born Monarch, he needs no bearer, the Ancient Sun God is bearing his soul."
"His path is the path of sacrifice, using his light and heat to illuminate others, thereby liberating the Soul Ripple of the Ancient Sun God, enhancing power."
"Kai has long reached the limit; he should have become Trolian’s first True King, altering the plight of Trolian, but an unknown Ancient Evil Thought, with its extreme Pollution, eroded his soul, causing it to decay before it could enhance."
"Not until he was reborn did the power harbored within his soul steadily release, and even without the Ascension Ceremony, he would eventually enter the True King Domain; the Ascension Ceremony merely greatly accelerated this process!"
"Ak is truly an idiot; he doesn’t know who he’s fighting against! We must achieve Victory! He is merely making desperate struggles!"
"Hahahaha, I’m the real winner, the Evil Thought Space is mine... ugh!"
Asa suddenly froze, then shouted in rage.
