the last king of darkness

Chapter 497 No.12 Stars
In addition to the 10 sources in the obelisk, there are also 7 soul firewood, which is one of the legacy of the Starry Kingdom.

So far, except for the time in the ancient palace, all the soul fuel that Rhodes obtained from outside the dream came from the Kingdom of Stars.

Before, Rhodes had always wondered why there were soul firewood in the ancient powerhouses or demi-artifacts related to the Starry Kingdom, which were items that belonged exclusively to dreams.

And now, he fully understood.

This all belonged to Hegeol, the previous dream master.

During the period of hiding in the inner temple, Hegeol created many artifacts for the Starry Kingdom, and after being killed, he must have left behind a lot of things.

They went through several twists and turns, and finally returned to the hands of the new dream master Rhodes.

I have to say that there is a sense of reincarnation of fate.

I hope there is no next term.

Rhodes thought.

The Book of Knowledge searched for a long time in the obelisk, and finally found a suitable star.

【Blood Pact Recovery】

To ignite it requires 10 billion souls, 10 sources, and 10 soul firewood.

"Master, the weakest part of you right now is your body. Those strong human beings who have been through the battlefield, their bodies have become as tough as gold and iron through the accumulation of their own spiritual energy, and your promotion speed is too fast. The time for powerful spiritual power is too short, and the physical strength is far inferior to theirs."

Book of Knowledge Seriously.

"Flesh is the armor of the soul, and life is the destination of the soul. A strong body can protect the soul from erosion, and can also carry a greater soul. This star can help you greatly increase the strength of your body and increase the speed of your body's recovery. And endurance, the soul can also be better nourished."

Rhodes nodded. The Book of Knowledge is trustworthy when it comes to the choice of stars. It has never lost its chain.

He quickly extracted 30 divinity points, made the remaining 3 pieces of soul firewood, and then touched the obelisk's soul side with his forehead, entering the soul wasteland.

The darkness of the Soul Wasteland is completely different from the black mist. It is peaceful and calm. The lightless darkness covers the endless wasteland. Countless bonfire ashes lie quietly in the darkness, and only a few points of light are shining.

Those are quantifying stars, and there is a slender ray of light on the tip of their burning fire, reaching the sky directly.

When they are quantified, the bonfire will disappear from here and appear in the night sky of the dream.

No matter how many times he has seen it, Rhodes still feels unbelievable. These ashes are like the tombstones of the stars. The wasteland of the soul is the cemetery of the stars. The process of lighting the bonfire is to resurrect the dead stars. "Quantitative" means to make the stars appear in the real night sky Shine again.

So, what are these ashes of stars?
Rhodes thought about it and asked, "Book, how did these ashes and stars come from? Do you remember?"

The voice of the Book of Knowledge came from my ear: "Master, the memory in this area is very incomplete, and the part that has been remembered is not suitable for statement. The dream is not complete enough. You need to find more fragments to have a stronger dream defense. Only we can speak of forbidden knowledge, otherwise terrible doom will be summoned."

Rhodes didn't have many surprises. He roughly guessed the result before asking the question. Fortunately, now that he has the "Celestial Bell", as long as he survives the invasion of the Devouring King, he can get a king's soul and a strong source.

If he ignites another big star, his strength will definitely rise to another level.

At that time, he can go deep into the black mist to search for the dream fragments.

As long as the dream is restored, not only many secrets will be unraveled, but his strength will also skyrocket rapidly.

Broken dreams have allowed him to reach this point, how far should a complete dream be?

Rhodes is looking forward to it.

He flew towards the direction indicated by the book of knowledge, and stopped in front of a piece of blood-red ashes after a while.

This is already the 12th time that Rhodes No. ignited the stars. He skillfully threw 10 pieces of soul firewood, 10 sources, and 10 billion spiritless souls into ashes. A blood-red flame ignited in front of his eyes. It has two floors It was so high, and it radiated hot blood-red flames, reflecting the surroundings like a sea of ​​blood.

Rhode looked up, and several lines of blood-red text emerged from the blood-red flame.

【Blood Pact Recovery】

[Status: Constant burning]

【Star Power: Blood Tracing】

[Injection: None]

【Fire: No】

[Quantitative: Pact of Blood]

【Position: Eternal Flame】

[Strength: 300000]

[Description: Until the thorns pierce your flesh and blood, until they dismember you, you still say, no regrets]

-

[Blood Tracing]: Tracing the power of blood, opening the royal court of blood, greatly improving the resilience and resistance of the body.

-

After only a few seconds, Rhodes felt a burst of anger rising from his lower abdomen, like a red-hot iron rod from bottom to top, straight to the top of his head, and his heart suddenly became very hot, like a piece of soldering iron, every time With a single beat, the fiery heat will be pumped into the limbs and bones, and the soul will feel like being soaked in a stove, which is both unbearably hot and comfortable.

"What's going on? I feel like I'm burning..."

The Book of Knowledge happily said: "This is [Blood Deed Recovery] improving your physical fitness, and you will soon have a stronger body, which will bring you more strength."

"Ahhh!"

The fiery feeling overwhelmed Rhodes, as if he was swimming in scalding water, the infinite heat rolled on his skin, making his consciousness blurred.

I don't know how long after that, when Rhodes opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the sacred fire sacrificial field. Molly was opening the door, and the light of the guardian fire shone in from outside, cutting out a beautiful figure .

"Master, yesterday's battle was not ideal. Districts 11 and 14 on the east side were not captured as planned. Districts 8 and 9 on the west side were not completely cleared. Your Excellency Churchill was injured and cannot fight for the time being. Your Excellency Galewind There is too much pollution accumulated in the soul, the erosion and corruption has exceeded the safety line, and I have returned to the royal city for purification treatment, and lost the combat power of the two guardians, today's battle plan may still be delayed..."

Rhode didn't pay attention to what Molly was saying at all, but just looked at his hands, a force completely different from psionic energy rolled in his body, it was the breath of life.

He stood up, and the sheet fell down, only to find that his clothes had been burned, and his perfect body was exposed to the air.

It was a body like a sculpture, with smooth lines and excellent posture. The vest line and abdominal muscle line interpreted his strength like the golden section.

The muscles are full, well-proportioned, and not overly inflated, and the chest muscles are even more perfect, full of masculinity.

wow.

All the papers in Molly's hand fell off. She looked at Rhode's body in disbelief. Her pupils behind the gold-rimmed glasses were full of shock, and her usual serious expression had lost its hold.

"This... This is the perfect body for advanced, Rhodes... Master, are you ready to be promoted to special combat power?"

Rhodes didn't hide it, anyway, they had already seen it many times, and asked in surprise: "Why do you say that? And I said many times, don't call me master, that time I was just talking to myself... ..."

Molly's eyes kept looking up and down his body, and she murmured: "Talking to yourself is what you really want... My teacher once told me that when the first-level combat power becomes the super-level When fighting, the first change is the body."

Rhodes fell into deep thought: "Is that so?"

"Yes." Molly said softly, the room was dark, and she had already closed the door before she knew it.

Rhodes suddenly felt someone touch him, soft and cold, but when he looked up, he saw Molly's ruddy lips and delicate cheeks.

"What are you... doing? Uh, I'm busy right now..."

"Do not."

Molly said softly.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to adapt to your new body first. Let me help you."

-

-

One morning passed.

Rhodes has never been so refreshed, his body seems to be surging with countless energies, he has completely adapted to his new body, and the feeling of wasting time disappeared quickly.

"This……"

Rhode looked at his hands and asked incredulously.

"Why do I feel that the psionic energy is running faster?"

Molly's voice came from behind, a little lazy, but rigor and rationality are quickly returning.

"Master, your talent is absolutely limitless. In the process of becoming a super-combat force, it is often you who first temper your body with spiritual energy to achieve a deeper and more perfect state of unity of soul and body. During this process, the operation of spiritual energy runs smoothly. The guild gradually speeds up, but when you come to you, you directly obtain the absolute state of unity of soul and body, and in turn feel the acceleration of spiritual energy, which is really incredible."

Rhodes was delighted in his heart, knowing that it was the result of [Blood Deed Restoration], he did not expect the effect of this star to be so powerful, and the speed of spiritual energy in his body was equivalent to directly strengthening the power of spiritual energy. All his abilities, whether it was attack Or defense, have been greatly enhanced.

Even his body's stamina has greatly increased, and now he feels that he can do it again.

"Molly." Rhode suppressed the restlessness of his body and asked, "For a Starfire sequence like me, what is the standard for super combat power?"

The Seat of Ashes, which I never thought about before, now has some ideas.

That is an ancient artifact that gathers the power of thousands of living beings and enhances the power of the soul.

Molly replied softly: "Enough feats, enough to save Trorian's deeds, [-]th-level psychic power, perfect integration of soul and body, mastering the psychic field, controlling the field, and having a record to prove that the combat ability has reached the super combat power standards, and most importantly…”

She paused and said word for word.

"If you want to become the Son of Fire and get the power of the Seat of Ashes, if you don't have control over the source, your soul strength must reach the level of a king."

Rhode's heart was shocked. He could understand all the items Molly said earlier, except for the fourteenth-level psionic power and special-level combat power standards, he had already met the standards.

But the last item was something he had never heard of.

"The strength of the soul must reach the level of a king... what is the standard?"

Molly tied up her messy hair and sat up. The white reflection blinded Rhode's eyes for a moment.

"The strength of the soul is the fundamental power of the soul. It is the key to measure the strength of a soul. You should know the difference between psionic power and soul strength."

Rhodes nodded. The strength of the soul is like the strength of the body, while the spiritual energy is a weapon wielded with strength. It is more powerful, more efficient, and more suitable for use.

But the root is still its own strength.

"In the distant ancient times, if a soul could use its own strength to forcibly resist and violate the law of the source, then he would be called the king of mankind, also known as the king class."

"Even in the era when the gods are active, the king-level combat power is the core force on the black mist battlefield. According to ancient books, countless kings once formed a Great Wall of Kings, blocking the great terror with their flesh and blood. come."

"But in the Dark Era, when the fire is declining, we no longer have enough resources to cultivate king-level combat power. In the entire Trorian, only the king has reached the king-level combat power with his back on the holy fire."

Rhodes was dazzled and couldn't help asking, "Where's Alan?"

Molly said lightly: "Alan... I don't know, his specific combat power has not been measured in detail for many years, he is too busy and has no time, but the Seat of Ashes has not been opened for him, it should be half a step away .”

"Oh..." Rhodes was a little disappointed, but very excited.

The conditions of the Starfire Sequence are much harsher than the Spiritual Fire Sequence, and the Spiritual Fire Sequence only needs to control the source to sit on the Seat of Ashes.

The Starfire Sequence needs to reach the soul strength of the king level to sit on the Seat of Ashes.

The Spirit Fire Sequence, after completing the Quantified Source of Control, can become a Law Commander.

However, the Commander needs to further control the strong source in order to become the king. The gap between them is very huge.

But Rhodes believes that maybe, in a short time, he can become the first Starfire Sequence to sit on the Seat of Ashes.

"it is good!"

Rhodes felt the blood boil all over his body, and he put on his clothes with a brush, and put on the guardian robe.

"I'm going to fight, the moment when the stars shine, but nothing should be wasted."

"Molly, pass on the order. The battle plan remains unchanged. I will make up for the difference in combat power."

Rhodes pushed open the door and strode out.

Only Molly was left sitting blankly on the bed, looking at his receding back. Under the reflection of the fire, that back seemed to cover her sky.

There has never been such a moment, she will believe that Rhodes will not only save Trorian.

"Go to him next time."

Molly murmured, a smile that she didn't even notice showed on her serious and delicate face.

"It's useful to do that."

-

-

On this day, Rhodes couldn't be happier.

He was killing all directions in Starry Sky City. No monster could survive for a quarter of an hour in front of him. Monsters that could not be defeated before can now be defeated, and monsters that could be defeated were instantly killed by him. The team went on a rampage, cleared one area, and then went to another area, fighting one after another, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

The psychic energy thundered and charged in his body, displaying [-]% of its power.

In the past, the limit of the big star shuttle would not exceed 15 revolutions, but now it is easily [-] revolutions.

The previous Soul Strike could only hit three to four times the power of psionic power at most, that is, the destructive power of an instant burst of less than [-].

Now Rhodes easily breaks through [-] destructive power.

Five times the highest psionic strength is already extremely high in the soul storage technique.

Especially Rhodes has now reached the twelfth level of spiritual power.

The higher the strength of psionic energy, the more difficult it is to control the huge psionic energy, and the multiplier of soul skills will usually drop a lot.

Only a very small number of fighters who are proficient in physical combat can achieve more than five times the multiple of soul skills.

The most important thing is that Rhodes feels that his spiritual energy consumption has become less, the battle has become longer, the physical fatigue can hardly be felt, and even the speed of spiritual energy recovery has been improved.

This battle was played happily.

Even though two first-level fighters were missing, with the blessings of the stars and Rhodes, they still completed the established battle plan and called it a day.

The cleanup of Starry Sky City is already close to one-fifth.

It is estimated that in another forty weeks, about seven to eight months, the entire cleanup of Starry Sky City will be completed.

night time.

Rhodes returned to the sacred fire sacrificial field and completed the injection of the Wanxing instrument. A drop of essence overflowed from the top, and the fire priest beside him immediately stepped forward carefully to collect it.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, Trorian will remember you for your hard work." The Fire Priest said respectfully.

Rhodes said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I feel that I can squeeze out a lot more, my energy is too strong."

The fire priest hurriedly said: "Please don't do this, Your Excellency Rhodes, the essence of the soul is very precious, please take a good rest, please don't worry about the recovery potion."

Rhodes waved his hand, and the fire priest quickly stepped back.

He will send this star source to the royal city as quickly as possible, and the masters in Byron's alchemy and pharmaceutical factory can't wait.

And Rhodes' eyes flashed with gold.

8 points of divinity are directly in hand.

At the moment when the stars are shining, the obtained divinity arrives instantly.

And today, after a day of hard work, he gained 7 points of divinity.

The total is 15 points.

Gaining 15 points of divinity in one day, Rhodes smiled until his mouth crooked.

When he returned to the dreamland, he saw that the divinity had become 1490 points at a glance.

"it is good!"

Rhodes is full of ambition, with so much divinity, this time of invasion, he must be able to easily kill the Devouring King.

The Book of Knowledge is also very happy: "Master, there are still 8 hours before the invasion, you can rest in the rocking chair for a while, and 3 hours are definitely enough for the final preparation."

Rhodes nodded, turned around and walked into the House of God, lay down in the rocking chair, and instantly fell into a dreamless and efficient sleep.
