The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1696 - 789: Divine Kingdom (Double-Length)

Rod obtained only 9 souls.

Clearly, 6 more are unaccounted for.

Olivia said, "It seems that after the Ancient God ascended, they still need to constantly fuse Divine Source Material to enhance the Divine Origin Base."

Horus said solemnly, "Of course, the stronger the Root Origin, the more it needs to bear, otherwise it cannot withstand the powerful repulsion from the Sea of Source, leading to source degradation, or even quantization."

Everyone knew that he understood this deeply.

The Dark Moon Princess said softly, "The Blood God has maintained this state for over 300 years; the Sacrificial Refining Field hasn’t been used for at least 300 years before its downfall."

Rod fell into contemplation. Does this mean the Blood God has reached the limit, and the strength of 15 units of Root Origin has touched the Black Fog’s restriction?

He also noticed that the Divine Source Material used for carrying was also precisely 15 units. Does this mean that 1 unit of Root Origin requires 1 unit of Divine Source Material to carry?

"In any case, we need more Divine Source Material."

Kai summarized.

"Let’s continue forward; there are many secrets left in this Divine Country waiting for us."

Horus agreed, "As long as we continue deeper, these secrets will be revealed one by one."

Rod nodded, and the group set out again.

In the following days, they methodically cleared multiple ruins.

Most of these ruins had records about "enigma," but lacked detailed information. What is "enigma," where is it, what is its purpose—all unknown.

However, they weren’t without gain; besides many resources, they learned an important message that this Divine Kingdom reserves a lot of Divine Source Material, intended for the Blood God to break through the restriction and also for future ascended True Gods.

This information kindled the flame in their hearts, and they accelerated their advance towards the depths of the Talanor Divine Kingdom.

This kingdom was much larger than expected, and above it was a layer of Black Fog with a mysterious aura, capable of blocking prying eyes.

Only then did they realize why neither the White Tower nor the Investigation Legion had found this Divine Kingdom nor discovered any danger.

However, the Talanor Divine Kingdom was extremely dangerous; as the exploration deepened, especially after crossing a certain line, the strength of creatures suddenly increased, many ancient powerful beings began to appear, more Strong Black Fog Symbionts emerged, and many extremely Strong Fallen Guardians slowed the legion’s pace.

But for the five top-tier experts, these were not issues; they still led the way, searching one ruin after another.

Soon, they learned that the First Divine City of Talanor Divine Kingdom, the Divine City of Blood God Mu, was located in the southwest of the Divine Country.

Additionally, most of the Divine Source Material stored within the Talanor Divine Kingdom was in the First Divine City.

Horus was the first to discover its location, followed by the other four top-tier experts.

They stepped into this Divine City together, embarking on the most crucial exploration since this operation began.

In the sewers of the First Divine City.

Acker stood on dry excrement, intently watching the darkness swirling in his hands.

As he saw the scene of five entering the Divine City, a cold smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Ha, your time to die has finally come."

"Especially you, Rod, I will make you kneel before me, desperately pleading for my forgiveness, yet I will coldly refuse and cruelly torment you, eventually casting you into my soul bottle, eternally unredeemed,"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the crazed laughter, a gigantic dark shadow slowly rose in the unseen distance.
