Chapter 1796: Chapter 823: I Will Ultimately Become the True King (2)

Paused for a few seconds, it added another sentence.

"Of course, in the vast majority of cases, the consumption of fuel is an integer, and the Source Law consumed to ignite the Star is always higher than what the Star possesses."

Rod nodded, unconcerned, as he approached the Star Tower, ready to awaken it.

"Book, how difficult is it for me to awaken the [Eye of Divine]?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped through its pages and replied after a moment, "There is a certain degree of difficulty, Master, but it should not be large."

Rod felt reassured and then jumped onto the Star Tower, touching the giant bell. He hadn’t awakened a Star in a long time and had almost forgotten the feeling.

[Awakening the Star Tower requires 100 Divinity]

A line of text appeared before him, and with a thought, 100 Divinity was absorbed into the Star Tower.

[Awakening the Giant Star requires 3600 Divinity]

Rod snorted, knowing that without special need, the Divinity needed to awaken a Giant Star generally ranges between 3000 and 4000.

But for him now, 3600 Divinity was not an unbearable sum.

With a thought, a golden stream of light was absorbed into the Star Tower.

The awakening begins!

Rod’s vision darkened and then brightened suddenly, followed by thousands of golden rays penetrating his eyes, and even if he tried to shield them with his hand, it was useless.

He didn’t know how long it took to adapt to the golden light. When he opened his eyes, he saw an incredibly bright, dazzling golden flame. It was at least 10,000 yards wide and hundreds of thousands of yards tall; the enormous golden flame shot straight into the sky, its immense heat sweeping in all directions.

Is this the Holy Fire?

Rod widened his eyes; he had never seen such Holy Fire. It was completely different from the Holy Fire in the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, appearing wilder and full of life’s vitality.

"It’s time."

A deep voice came from the sky, and Rod looked up, seeing three blurred figures standing in the air. The space around them was twisted, shrouded in some unknown, terrifying power.

"When the Primordial Fire rises, the Black Fog will end."

"Please, Meng, Ai."

With that, the figure plunged into the Holy Fire. The golden flame became more vigorous, and an even more restless power churned within, but Rod vaguely felt a sense of melancholy pervading the flames.

Before he could figure out what was happening, the sky suddenly tore open, revealing an abyss of darkness. From the sky descended a terrifying blackness, and a gigantic Dark Giant rushed towards them.

The battle began in an instant, terrifying power sweeping through the entire space, distorting all vision. Rod couldn’t see clearly what was happening, and clearly felt a strange barrier, as if the Illusion Realm had reached some limit, unable to reproduce the original situation.

But soon, the battle ended, and the dark giant fell from the sky, crashing beside Rod.

"Isn’t this the Black Fog Demon?"

Rod’s pupils constricted; he would never forget this image.

"Was it the Black Fog Demon attacking them? No, that’s not right, the darkness on it is completely solidified, its size also much larger than what I encountered; this should be the Black Fog Demon at its peak."

This terrifying creature lay sprawled before him, its chest pierced with a huge hole, continuously evaporating black pollutants under the Holy Fire, seemingly at its end.

However, just as Rod thought so, the Black Fog Demon suddenly lunged forward, plunging into the Holy Fire, and endless black fog erupted from its giant cavity, dispersing the golden flame and engulfing the core of the Holy Fire.

Darkness descended at a thousandfold speed; the golden flame extinguished in the blink of an eye, and Rod’s vision plunged into darkness.

It was only after several seconds that he realized he had failed.

"Was it because the Holy Fire was extinguished?"

Rod fell into deep thought.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the scene before him was likely the moment when the highest quasi-kings reignited the Primordial Fire during the Fire Epoch.

The three figures should be three of the highest quasi-kings, one of whom willingly served as the Firewood to ignite the Primordial Fire.

Yet during this process, they were attacked by the Black Fog Demon. Although the two highest quasi-kings defeated the Black Fog Demon, for some unknown reason, it managed to extinguish the Holy Fire.

"The Illusion Realm must have been distorted. Under normal circumstances, such a thing would not happen... But no matter what, what I have to do is very simple."

Rod patiently waited, and when golden light once again pierced his vision, he knew a new round had begun.

Soon, the Black Fog Demon lay beside him again, and Rod jumped forward, thrusting his right hand into its Soul Void, grasping its Soul String.

"This was too easy, completely no difficulty."

Boom!

Rod yanked hard, and immediately the surrounding turned dark, darkness enveloping him once more, and he returned to that void space, starting a new round of waiting.

"Did I die?"

Rod’s eyes widened, and it took him several seconds to understand what had happened. The gap between him and the Black Fog Demon in its peak state was too great; the Soul Blast didn’t destroy the Black Fog Demon’s soul, but instead caused his own soul to explode.

How could this be?

The Black Fog Demon in its peak state was actually this strong?

Rod’s heart sank, realizing things were not going well.

If the gap was this large, how could he kill the Black Fog Demon?

Sure enough, in subsequent attempts, he used all possible methods but couldn’t prevent the Black Fog Demon from extinguishing the Holy Fire. The two highest quasi-kings in the sky remained motionless for some unknown reason, the twisted light nearly shrouding the entire sky, leaving their state unclear.

What to do?

Rod fell into contemplation; the time with the Star Tower was running out, leaving him with only one last attempt.

If he failed to awaken, another awakening would still consume 3600 plus 100 Divinity.

Under no circumstances was Rod willing to spend this Divinity.

He tried to pause the Illusion Realm and exit the Star Tower, but without success.

Rod’s heart sank; he knew the Illusion Realm must have been distorted; otherwise, he would be able to pause the awakening.

When the golden light illuminated his view, he knew he had no other choice.

He could only take a risk.

Rod took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and quietly waited.

When the Black Fog Demon once more fell before him, he lifted his right hand without hesitation, aiming at it, and activated the Star within his soul.

[Justice Execution]

[Final Chapter]

An invisible melody echoed in the air, the sound of slaughter like a blade of a headsman, slicing towards the Black Fog Demon’s soul.

Crack!

With a strange tearing sound, the Black Fog Demon’s soul was ripped apart, emitting a horrific wail, infinite black air soaring into the sky, but all were dispelled by the golden light of the Holy Fire.

Success!

Rod clenched his fist; indeed, in this second, the Black Fog Demon was sealed and suppressed!

Thus, [Final Chapter] could execute!

The distorted Illusion Realm seemed to have only altered one fact, which was the release of the Black Fog Demon’s seal, allowing it to suddenly rise, lunge at the Holy Fire, and extinguish its core at a special state.

Rod watched with relief as the Illusion Realm before him dissipated, the light of the Star illuminating his soul. At this moment, the [Eye of Divine] had become his instinct, like his sixth finger, or third leg.

A new line of text surfaced before him.

[Eye of Divine]

[State: Primordial]

[Position: Above Spirit Realm]

[Star Energy: High Rank Eye of Divine]

[Star Soul: Undying Divine Light]

[Strength: 2 billion]

[Source: 200]

[Description: My corpse is the first piece of Firewood to ignite the fire.]

——

——

[High Rank Eye of Divine]: Stagnate any changes and derivative effects of the Source Law, dissolve any non-source creations, ignore spatial barriers, penetrate positional walls.

[Undying Divine Light]: Focus your spirit, emitting undying divine light from between your eyes, tearing apart any soul body you illuminate.

——

At this moment, Rod knew he had taken a huge step towards an invincible path.

The power of the [High Rank Eye of Divine] needed no elaboration; it could restrain all Source Laws, but [Undying Divine Light] was the truly terrifying aspect. Once it tore apart a soul body, it was akin to creating a flaw in the creature’s soul, allowing Rod to use [Soul Blast].

As long as the creature wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger, it stood no chance against him in a frontal confrontation.

Good!

Rod clenched his fist, feeling the powerful Spiritual Energy surging within his soul.

Even with such a weak Trolian on my shoulders, I shall ultimately become the True King!
