the last king of darkness

Chapter 666 The Holy King

Contrary to all expectations, the interior of the Dreadfort is not scary.

Except for the sacrificial hall full of bones, most of the locations were ordinary. Rough rocks and black walls were all they saw, and the dangers they encountered were far from beyond their capabilities.

Pebella eats most of them alone. Whether it is the turbulent flow of spiritual energy, the cracks in space, or the vision of the abyss breath or the twisted and condensed black mist, they cannot cause fatal damage to her. Her time travel can All damage was spared, and her body and soul were restored to their original state.

The only thing that cannot be completely recovered is the corruption and pollution caused by the black mist. Every time she goes back in time, a part of the black mist pollution will remain in her body.

Pebela believes that the black mist has essentially transcended the scope of time. It can not only trace the past, but also infect the future. Unless she can go one step further and control the strong source of time, or even the fundamental source, she will not be able to get rid of the black mist. The erosion of fog.

If Pebella had never thought of this possibility before, but after Pocival came, she was very close to this possibility.

Bocival had an in-depth exchange with her. To put it simply, her psychic power is strong enough. To become the king of time, she needs more star sources. Star sources are the power from the source of the stars, and the stars themselves possess The realm of "time" is a special medicine for her.

Coupled with a stronger holy fire, when the sun and the moon meet, hold the star ceremony, and she can upgrade her source of time to a strong source in one fell swoop, thus becoming a king.

Therefore, the key lies in "Xingyuan".

The Red Queen is in a similar situation to her. Trorian is actually on the verge of a long life and only needs an opportunity and some resources to complete his transformation.

The situation of Horus is much more complicated. He needs not only the star source, but also the stone of light, and the source material containing the fields of "light" and "activity". There is only one promotion opportunity every year during the solar day.

The "Mingguang" characteristic is the most powerful comprehensive characteristic, which integrates various abilities such as combat, medical treatment, purification, strengthening, etc. In the age of fire, the "Mingguang" characteristic is extremely rare and highly valued, the law of "Mingguang" He is treated like a king, so although Horus is still half a step away from becoming a law-maker, his actual status is the same as half a step away from becoming a king.

As for Qingyu, the improvement of the Fire Chosen is usually closely related to the Holy Fire, but before resonating with the Holy Fire, she can improve by improving her natal fire, both the guardian fire that resonates with her, and the wood of the Devouring Fire, at most It can be raised to the limit of a king. The last step can only be completed after resonating with the holy fire.

This is also the only true king's road controlled by St. Rael.

As for other soul characteristics, Bocival said that there is nothing they can do. In the long history, they have not found any true kings other than "eternal burning fire". There is a saying that only "chosen people of fire" can become true kings, even if In the era of fire when human beings were powerful, the true kings that existed were all the chosen ones of fire.

Of course, this statement has not been confirmed, but no definite evidence has been found to refute it.

After all, the true king is a human god who was born in the Fire Era, and the ancient gods in the ancient era were born gods, or some powerful legendary creatures set foot on the gods through a god-ascension ceremony, but no matter what the source , should have nothing to do with humans.

However, Rhodes has reservations about this statement, because as long as he ignites enough stars, he will become a true king one day.

And this day, Rhodes believes that it will not be too far away.

-

The exploration of the Dreadfort went unimaginably smooth. They didn't encounter a single monster along the way. The black mist seemed to be unable to condense here, and the breath of the abyss was like pure mist here.

The more they walked inside, the more surprised everyone was, and the more curious they were about this true king. What kind of existence would preserve such a strange legacy, the ancient human kingdom in the age of fire, and why did they believe it could help? Humans out of the woods?

The four walked through the ancient halls and corridors. Except for the walls and rocks, there was no decoration here, and everything looked so rough and primitive.

Rhodes never dreamed that the real exploration would be so smooth. Most of the dangers here can be detected by Asa, and coupled with Pebella's time regression, there is almost nothing that can threaten them. The real danger may be The Hall of Bones.

It's no wonder Ake didn't hesitate to take action.

The four quickened their pace, and soon they came to the deepest part of the Dreadfort. It was an extremely huge gate, which was at least 1 yards high, and the uneven rocks made it look like a mountain.

The huge door couldn't be pushed at all, but the thin cracks in the oversized door made it easy for four people to pass through.

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge said excitedly: "The legacy of the true king must be inside, I hope it can be useful, there is not much left of our divinity."

It took 200 points to wake up the star soul twice, and 200 points to hatch the evil ghost king. The huge amount of divinity just obtained is declining at an extremely fast rate. In the foreseeable future, if there is no large amount of consumption, it will soon be will run out.

Rhodes nodded, he also hoped to get more star source and primordial power.

"Well, it's strange. I don't sense any danger here. This true king seems to be very friendly to humans. He must have retained some of his power to ensure that his legacy is accepted by you."

Asa's tone was full of expectation.

"I wish he'd left me some poop..."

Rhodes expelled Asa's words from his mind, and followed Pebella into the deepest part of the Dreadfort.

This is an unimaginably huge hall. Its height is hidden in the darkness, and there is no end in sight. Its depth is like an abyss. The boundless and majestic darkness is like a giant beast. To devour them all.

The four of them stood in front of this huge space, like mayflies in front of the heaven and earth, feeling nothing except their own insignificance.

It wasn't until a long time later that Horus let out a breath: "Let's enter, the primordial psychic energy and the star source must be inside."

Pebella said softly: "Except here, we have been to all the places in the Dreadfort. What the Queen of Stars told us back then cannot be wrong. The clues and prophecies in the ruins also prove this point."

As soon as she floated, she walked to the front of the team again, gray-brown mist shrouded her body, and the breath of time swirled around her. She was ready to go back in time and face all dangers at any time.

However, in the deepest part of the Dreadfort, not only did they still not encounter any monsters, even the dangers naturally formed outside also disappeared.

The four of them walked for a long time in the dark without encountering any danger.

Rhodes didn't know how many times he turned his head and looked around. There was nothing strange in the deep darkness. There was nothing here except the rough ground. Even with the absolute vision of the eyes of the soul, he couldn't see anything here. the end.

"here."

Rhodes hesitated and said.

"Isn't it a labyrinth of space?"

Pebella shook her head: "No, this is a normal space, with only traces of compression and expansion, just like the space inside those towers."

"However, it's also so deep here that it's unbelievable... Maybe we should speed it up even more."

Horus shook his head: "No, Rhodes, don't let your guard down at any time. Although we don't have a lot of time, it is very abundant at this time. Even if we walk here for a day, as long as everything goes well, it is worth it." of."

Rhodes didn't say any more. After all, this is the inheritance of the true king. In its deepest part, there may be some kind of arrangement left by the true king. It is very risky for him to open the boat of the spirit world and rush to the depths.

Under the true king, the stone of resurrection may not be useful.

The four continued to walk deep at the original speed. Fortunately, they did not walk for a day. After about half an hour, Rhodes noticed something strange.

"Ahead, there's something ahead!"

The three of them became tense all of a sudden, Pebella's whole body was shining with psychic energy, and the gray fog covered her firmly: "What is it?"

"It seems to be a wall, a very high wall."

Horus said, "Have we reached the end?" His tone was as calm as possible, but his trembling arms betrayed the tension inside him.

"I don't know, my vision is weird, like a cloud over my eyes."

Horus said: "Turn off your spiritual vision, maybe there is an extremely powerful existence in front of you, but no matter how powerful the spiritual power is, how high the potential is, as long as you don't turn on your spiritual vision and spy on it, you won't be able to see it." Hurt."

Rhodes felt a chill in his heart. He was worthy of being an archbishop. He was very rich in both mind and experience.

He closed the eyes of the soul, and walked forward with everyone.

Gradually, their naked eye vision also saw substantial substances.

Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, and soon, they saw a huge blue wall.

The walls are old and old, covered with unknown rot like cobwebs, not just Rhodes, the Book of Knowledge and Asa in his mind almost stuck their faces on the obelisk.

All are eager to meet the legacy of the True King who is said to have started the Age of Fire.

However, they searched for a long time, but they did not find any hidden doors or passages in the walls.

"Is this a dead end?"

Pebela said slightly frustrated.

"Before us, someone took the real king's inheritance?"

Qingyu shook her head slightly; "Impossible, the Queen of Stars clearly told us that there is the purest star source in the Fort of Dread, which proves that humans in the middle and late period of the Age of Fire did not find the location of the Fort of Dread, and entered the Dark Era. Gradually weakening, human beings are declining, except for us, it is difficult for anyone to find it, the legacy of the real king must still be here."

"But where exactly is it?"

No one can answer, how long will it take to search such a huge space like a carpet?

The duration of the Abyss Blade is not unlimited. Although Rhodes has brought a lot, its protective effect will gradually weaken. This is the result of protective fatigue, and it must take a period of time before it can return to normal.

Rhodes was lost in thought. He keenly sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

While thinking about it, he walked along the wall for a while, and suddenly discovered that the wall has a curvature.

Ok?
Rhodes immediately lifted his spirits, and he walked for a while, and found that the arc was very even, and suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

"Archbishop, Qingyu, Pebella, let's go up!"

Horus frowned and said, "I've already checked it, and its height is fine."

"How high did you fly?"

"About eight hundred yards, no matter how high the gravity is, the power consumption is too high."

"Fly again."

Rhodes didn't wait for him to answer, soaring into the air, and a few seconds later, his voice came from a high place.

"It's not a wall! It's a pedestal!"

Everyone was shocked in their hearts.

Pedestal?

They flew upwards rapidly, and did not see the end until they had flown thirteen hundred yards.

At this moment, they realized that this was not a wall at all, but an extremely huge circular building.

As Rod said, it's like a pedestal that has never been bigger.

Its hugeness surpasses the limit of human imagination, even giants cannot have such a large building.

Rhodes stood in front of them, stretched out his hands, and touched the darkness lightly.

"This is not the terrifying darkness formed by the black mist, nor the twisted darkness of the abyss, it just has no light. I can feel that this kind of darkness is peaceful, quiet, and has the breath of sleep, just like a mother's embrace. "

Rhodes didn't say the real words, the feeling it gave Rhodes was the same as the darkness on the Soul Wasteland in the dream, it was just the darkness formed because of the lack of light.

"Archbishop, we can light it."

For the first time, Horus was not shocked or angry by Rhodes' bold words, in fact, he felt the same after Rhodes finished speaking.

It's okay to light up these darkness.

For some unknown reason, Horus, who was always cautious, raised his hand, and a gleam of light flew out from his fingertips, and quickly spread to the entire space. It was not bright, but it was enough to illuminate everything in front of him.

At that moment, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.

On top of this gigantic pedestal, there is an infinitely huge ancient throne, and rotten things hang on it like a cobweb.

And on the throne was an unimaginably huge corpse.

It is half-decayed, the head has turned into white bones, but the body is submerged in indistinguishable decay, as if the long river of time has left countless accumulations here, and the years are vividly displayed at this moment.

But even though it has been dead for thousands of years, the aura of the king is still undiminished. It sits high on the throne, hidden behind the darkness, and the faint light only illuminates a part of it. On the huge skull, there is a hole like a black hole. His eyes looked down at them, like a god looking at countless creatures in the world.

At this moment, the four people, the two dream followers, were speechless.

Even Asa, who has a lifespan of countless years, the well-informed book of knowledge, was horrified by such an aura.

I don't know how long it took before Rhodes recovered from this shock and noticed the words engraved under the throne.

It uses dream language, which is the language of God.

"The holy king, Asocenas, the place of rest."

"He created the age of fire in darkness and decay. He held up the torch and illuminated the future for the human race. He broke the curse of the gods and recast Godoin. He did what the gods did not do. things that arrived."

"The Holy King is the most perfect human being, the embodiment of the full potential of this race. He is absolutely proficient in all fields. His life and soul are like gods. During his 1000 years of life, he has continuously strengthened his soul and body. , becoming the greatest psychic in history, looking at the universe, there are very few individuals who can control his huge psychic power, almost breaking through the limit of level 17."

"1000 years after his death, he still relies on his indestructible willpower and the spiritual throne to survive, sheltering vulnerable humans as much as possible in the endless battle against the black mist until they become stronger."

"He left his legacy here after his complete demise, hoping to continue to guide humanity."
