The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1619 - 764: Unstoppable (Part 1)

If they encounter a Strong King Level Monster or a Demigod Level Monster, they can handle it; only Ancient Gods pose a threat, but even if they can’t win, they can escape.

Unless they directly encounter Ancient Gods.

But the probability of that is too small, and both of them are strong individuals with extremely high inspiration, such a life-and-death threat would not escape their perception.

Therefore, neither of them concealed anything, and they rushed towards the location mentioned in the legacy at top speed.

Most monsters encountered along the way were wiped out by Rod’s Soul Field, and a few stronger monsters were easily dispatched by the two of them.

Horus’s Bright Light was so powerful that it refreshed Rod’s perception; its specificity towards the Black Fog was truly remarkable. Throughout the journey, Horus did not even wear the Red Tear Stone, but dispersed the Black Fog directly with the power of Bright Light. When encountering monsters, Bright Light would transform into countless blades, grinding the monsters to dust, and even King Level monsters could not withstand Bright Light’s piercing.

In terms of destructive power alone, it even surpassed Rod.

No wonder Horus called Bright Light the "blade piercing the heart of the Black Fog."

Soon, they found the second ruin mentioned in the Pope’s legacy. Although the relics within were sealed, the strong spirituality they emitted attracted several powerful monsters to guard it.

They looked like two huge rotten maggots, with black decayed souls hidden under a thick Spiritual Defense. Although they were Weak King Level monsters, Rod knew that eliminating them would take effort just by observing their stance.

Unexpectedly, Horus merely raised his hand, and the shackles of Bright Light firmly imprisoned them. The Bright Light Blades, towering and sky-piercing, descended from the sky and pierced their souls.

Then Rod rushed forward to tear open the crack in the soul and finished them off instantly.

Once powerful monsters now had no significant resistance in front of these two strong individuals and were quickly wiped out.

Subsequently, Rod excavated the legacy.

It was a peculiar secret chamber whose sealing became ineffective the moment it was opened. There was a large amount of materials inside, but to Rod’s disappointment, there were no Light Stones, Pure Star Marrow, nor Pure Star Source. The most valuable were seven Divine Stones.

The subsequent ruins were similar.

The situation like that of the first ruin with a large number of Light Stones, Pure Star Marrow, and Pure Star Source no longer appeared.

Nevertheless, the harvest from these ruins was very generous, and the substantial amount of materials greatly compensated for the shortages in Trolian, providing ample supplies for the upcoming Light Stone Refining Array, Star Source Ceremony, and Star Marrow Refining Furnace.

Of course, the most important gain was acquiring 20 Divine Stones.

In fact, the Pope’s legacy had already stated that the main relics of these ruins were Divine Stones. It was just that the grand harvest from the first ruin gave Rod an unrealistic fantasy that was only corrected later.

Rod and Horus were highly efficient, taking only half a day to empty six ruins.

Only the last ruin remained.

But when Rod arrived at this ruin according to the coordinates, he was shocked to discover that it was an Ancient City.

In a dark mountain range, about 30,000 kilo-yards from the Trolian Royal City, estimates indicate this should be the edge of the Ash Land.

The enormous Ancient City was covered in black decayed matter; houses and streets were filled with it. Horus immediately noted that this decayed matter was actually intertwining flesh organs, countless hearts, brains, intestines, tangling and adhering to each other, slightly wriggling.

An extremely terrifying aura came rushing in.

However, Rod did not sense a strong soul nor perceived the Root Origin Field,

"Perhaps this is a derivative of some powerful being."

Horus speculated.

"Too far to make out more; let’s go down."

Rod nodded slightly, and thus a True King and a soon-to-be True King descended straight into this terrifying city.

At the instant they approached a certain distance, countless eyes rose from the flesh, all staring at them in an instant.

In the next second, a spiritual energy shriek followed, and the terrifying spiritual energy wave rushed in.

"Level 17 Spiritual Power."

Rod said.

"It’s Primordial Spirit Power, at least 500 million kilo-instants, but without sensing the Root Origin Field nor a soul, it should be a special derivative of some Ancient God, like a flesh puppet from the Blood God’s descent."

Horus said, "I feel its spiritual power is empty without substance, lacking support; let’s probe it."

The two strong individuals simultaneously raised their spiritual power, one at 10 million kilo-instants, the other at 8 million kilo-instants, and the spiritual energy wave immediately suppressed the unknown monster’s spiritual power.

Eyes crazily exploded, and in an instant, all eyes transformed into blood, merging with flesh.

The two strong individuals continued to approach, their powerful Soul Field soon encompassing the Ancient City, causing the flesh to wither, evaporate, and turn to ashes.

Soon, this flesh-covered Ancient City became an Ashen City.

"Is it dead already?"

Rod felt slightly disappointed, as he did not reap any souls, not even any souls.

It appears this should be a complete derivative of the Ancient God, all its power originating from that Ancient God, thus it could be easily shattered by them.

Horus laughed, "Maybe we’re just too strong; powerful monsters turning to dust in an instant—is this not a testament that the road to humanity’s rise is unstoppable?"

Since Horus achieved the Great Monarch status, his mentality has undergone great changes, becoming typically younger and more confident, no longer wearing a dead wood-like face of gloominess. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Rod sensed something amiss but couldn’t quite pinpoint where.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge pondered, "Is it an illusion? Why does this scene seem like I’ve seen it somewhere before?"

Horus didn’t have these doubts, quickly finding the legacy in the Ancient City’s basement and reaping a very rich haul, with a massive amount of high-quality Sun Stones and Sun Crystals, along with 12 Divine Stones.

Rod couldn’t help but smile; this brought the total number of Divine Stones to 36, enough for many Ascension Ceremonies.

Next, securing the three major Soul Elements as soon as possible was crucial.

"Fantastic!"

Horus smiled happily.

"Let’s return; perhaps, after me, a fourth True King could be born."

Before leaving, Rod casually collected the ashes from the Ancient City, planning to test them with the [Glutton].

This brief excursion thus came to an end, with the two strongest people from Trolian bringing back the entirety of the Pope’s legacy.

For the first time, they had the qualifications to conduct large-scale Ascension Ceremonies.

Horus was fully advancing the refining rituals for the three major Soul Elements, determined to master their usage in the shortest time possible.

Rod also received a massive amount of Spirit Grass seeds, totaling around a thousand bags, each containing at least hundreds of thousands of seeds and mixed according to strict proportions.

Trolian did not lack seeds; a cycle of Spirit Grass can produce a hundred seeds, but the limitation was in the land to plant them.

Fortunately, the Dream Realm had it.

The [Sea of Flowers] was so vast that it allowed Rod to plant all one thousand bags of seeds.

Then, following the Book of Knowledge’s advice, Rod added a large amount of spirituality and Soul Residue to the [Sea of Flowers].

In an instant, the entire [Sea of Flowers] was filled with spirituality and the breath of life.

After just a clock hour, Rod saw the spiritual sprouts covering the hills.

"This is incredibly powerful." Rod couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Book of Knowledge excitedly said, "This is the [Sea of Flowers], master, leave all of this to me!"
