The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1721 - 797: Human Demon (Double - ) (Part 3)

The puppet said worriedly, "This looks like a very powerful sealing. Wouldn’t opening it rashly be dangerous?"

The Book of the Future immediately flipped its pages; predicting danger is what it does best. Even when dealing with very powerful beings, it usually has some certainty.

"Hmm, the future isn’t very clear... But I don’t see any danger. There’s surprisingly little on its fate string. This tomb might be empty."

"Empty?"

Rod was slightly disappointed, but no matter what, the tomb had to be opened.

After an unknown amount of time, the Book of Knowledge suddenly exclaimed, "I’ve figured it out. This is a sealing that must be opened by a sacrificial ritual! At the top of the bronze sarcophagus, there’s a sacrificial sealing mark. We need to place the offering on it, and if I’m not mistaken, this offering must be a specific soul."

Rod frowned slightly; he had never seen such a sealing method before. "What kind of specific soul?"

The Book of Knowledge didn’t answer, but turned and said, "Weiguang Asa, you should be able to see by using the bronze sarcophagus as an anchor for prediction."

According to instruction, the Book of the Future quickly announced, "I’ve seen an enormous shadow; it is related to the Holy Fire, with eerie and corrupt characteristics. It’s the source of a disaster!"

Rod’s face instantly fell. This characteristic couldn’t be more obvious—there’s only one disaster related to the Holy Fire—that’s the monster specifically corrupting the Holy Fire Guardians, the Mysterious Shadow.

This is a very special monster, generally only appearing during eerie disasters to attack the Guardians of the Holy Fire, and usually very rare. He once acquired a complete Mysterious Shadow Soul but had long used it up.

Now needing a Mysterious Shadow Soul all of a sudden, where to find one?

But soon, the Book of the Future shouted, "It’s near us; we’ll find it soon!"

In surprise, Rod instantly turned back and looked, with the Eye of the Soul operating at its limit. But besides brown-black stone blocks and rolling black fog, there wasn’t a single monster fluctuation in sight.

There was no hint of any crisis in Spiritual Communication.

The Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted, "Dream Realm!"

Rod suddenly remembered that after the Dream Factory restored its integrity, the goal of the Dream Realm was indeed to hunt the Black Fog Symbiont; the Book of the Future had even used prophecy to guide the way.

Although the Mysterious Shadow is special, it’s strictly a kind of Black Fog Symbiont, moreover, the purest kind, directly composed of black fog, which is the Black Fog Avatar!

"Ahead!"

The Book of Knowledge shouted.

"I see it, the black shadow flickering within the Shadow Veil!"

Rod immediately returned to the Dream Realm, looked through the Star Platform, and indeed, a deeper shadow wandered within the shadow-filled Shadow Evil World, like a tens of thousands of yards long black lightning, constantly changing shape in this area.

Isn’t this exactly the Mysterious Shadow?

Exactly like what he saw before.

However, this Mysterious Shadow is much stronger than the one that fought the King!

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "Yes, this is the complete Mysterious Shadow at its peak; Shadow Evil World is its lair, just as the Holy Fire is humanity’s reliance and the Dream Realm is our arena... Its power has been greatly enhanced, and it has suffered no weakening from the King!"

But Rod did not hesitate a single moment, directly stepping out of the Dream Realm.

At present, I am indeed a True King; the King back then wasn’t as powerful as I am now.

Rounded off, the King didn’t match my strength.

Being stronger than the King, why fear a mere Mysterious Shadow?

With a stretch of his hand, the Giant Divine Sword instantly appeared in his grasp, and with a tap of his toe, Rod immediately reached the Mysterious Shadow’s side, slashing down; spatial distortion occurred, spiritual energy surged, over 15 million absolute spiritual power, enough to suppress everything.

Slash!

The Mysterious Shadow was instantly cut.

Hmph, easily defeated.

Just as Rod was about to reach out and finish it off, he suddenly found the Mysterious Shadow swelling like a large umbrella covering him.

"Damn!"

Rod instantly realized he had entered the battlefield of souls; a black shadow had invaded his soul and was rapidly devouring his soul body, and he couldn’t leverage any spiritual energy or Star Power, akin to the battle of souls against malicious thoughts, able to rely only on spiritual power strength.

Pressure instantly surged; in the battlefield of souls, the Mysterious Shadow grew exceedingly powerful. Although Rod’s soul strength still exceeded it, it couldn’t be defeated in a short time, yet the Mysterious Shadow kept destroying his soul body and polluting his soul.

At this rate, even if he won, he would sustain serious injuries.

Rod finally understood why those mighty Kings, backed by the Holy Fire, would be eroded by the Mysterious Shadow.

Its soul erosion capability was terrifying.

"Book, help me out!"

From the moment Rod was swallowed, the Book of Knowledge knew things were dire and immediately activated the Sun Tower.

The Sun Tower’s Light Cannon began bombing the Mysterious Shadow at the fastest speed; over 500 source energy’s Dream Realm firepower far surpassed before, and overwhelming Spirit Light Cannon fell on the swelling Mysterious Shadow like torrential rain, the massive spiritual energy wave, with a total amount already over 40 million thousand moments.

At the same time, the Spirit Realm Strike was ready.

Ten portions of divinity to launch a Spirit Realm Strike; facing the Dream Realm now posed no pressure, as after stripping 3,000 divinity from the "God of Corpse Death," Rod’s total divinity exceeded 12,000, enough to fire 1,200 Spirit Realm Strikes.
