The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1724 - 798: Praise the Sun

On the other side.

Rod only felt a surge of ultra-powerful Spiritual Energy burst out, and the tomb in front of him exploded directly, scattering ashes all around.

"What happened?"

Rod shouted in horror, sensing that an unprecedented terrifying entity was awakening.

In his mind, the boundless darkness seemed to envelop the entire universe.

All the pages of the Book of Knowledge were trembling, and every corner of the book curled up, shouting: "Master, run quickly!"

"Run?"

Before Rod could regain his senses, a stronger tremor came through.

Accompanied by a cracking sound, countless huge cracks appeared on the ground, walls, and ceiling.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of the Future also shouted: "Master, quickly collect the ashes, I sense they’ll be very useful to you in the future, as essential as food is to humans!"

In the crisis, Rod couldn’t think much, and with a wave of his hand, Spiritual Energy spread out like a net. In the instant it condensed, he collected all the ashes into his palm and sent them into the Dream Realm.

The next second, a terrifying sense of crisis emanated from his soul, and Rod immediately deployed his Spiritual Defense.

Countless ghostly lights passed through the ground and walls, colliding with his Spiritual Defense.

Boom!

In the huge explosion, the entire ground collapsed.

Billions of tons of soil crashed down, burying the ancient structure underground.

This massive Underground City was thus destroyed.

On the ground, there was a giant pit over a million yards in diameter, so enormous that it even pulled down the nearby mountains.

The strange seal was broken, and the twisted space was corrected by the plane’s power, gradually returning to its original position.

The eerie mist that had shrouded the area for countless years dispersed, immediately letting the ice cold from the Ice Soil Continent invade the land.

The soaring dust rose tens of thousands of yards high, enveloping the entire area in chaos, even affecting the war fortress on the border of Taranor.

The entire surface was altered by this terrifying force.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Rod was in extreme shock. The ghostly light earlier must have been just an aftershock of the explosion, yet it still breached his Spiritual Defense. Although his subsequent Spiritual Energy managed to block it, it still caused him considerable damage.

In contrast, the collapse of the stratum didn’t affect him much.

But such large-scale destruction would be difficult even if he used all his strength.

A terrifying idea arose in Rod’s mind.

"Could it be... a Human Demon?"

Based on the information from the tomb, the so-called "eerie" must be the Human Demon.

And this place is the tomb that seals the Human Demon.

Everything outside must have been set up to seal the Human Demon, whether it’s the eerie gray mist or the twisted space, all meant to isolate this area.

The only exception might be the "God of Corpse Death."

Rod had a hypothesis that this Ancient God might have existed to guard the seal, but over the long years, It too became corrupted and fallen.

And the tomb of Red War God Beakleus was the core of the seal.

So, it demanded the soul of the Mysterious Shadow to enhance the seal and the Human Demon Tomb.

But why?

He clearly sacrificed a soul of the Mysterious Shadow, and the tomb hinted that it reinforced the Human Demon Tomb and completed the enhancement.

Why did it suddenly collapse?

Could it be that the seal had been left unstrengthened for so long that it became extremely fragile, and his reinforcement actually made things worse?

Deep in thought, Rod burst through to the surface.

At this moment, only a massive crater remained, so large it was unimaginable, with even the surrounding mountains collapsing into it.

The surrounding mist had dissipated, and the twisted space had also restored, leaving only endless dust before him.

The moment Rod looked up, he saw a giant shining with infinite light — the fully-empowered Horus, wielding a sharp blade, fighting a Dark Giant.

Amazing Spiritual Power Waves emanated as Horus’s assault was fierce, seemingly having the upper hand.

But quickly, Rod realized it was just an illusion.

The Dark Giant wasn’t moving, not even acknowledging Horus, just sitting there as if waiting for something.

"Quick!"

The Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted.

"Master, run quickly!"

Rod frowned. The Book of Knowledge was always like this, urging its master to flee at the first hint of danger.

"I can’t run! This is an opportunity. The Human Demon seems not fully awakened. If I can seize the chance to kill it, I will get the most powerful soul I’ve ever had..."

The Book of Knowledge frantically flapped its pages, shouting: "No, Master, there’s no chance, we must run! Trust me!"

But Rod had already summoned the Giant Divine Sword, with powerful Spiritual Energy continuously pouring from it into his soul, and his Spiritual Power Strength rising rapidly.

At the same time, a giant shining with sunlight appeared mid-air.

"Horus, I’m here to help you!"

The Sun Knight Kai joined the battle.

Then, the Lunar Spirit, wielding dual swords, also joined the fight.

Horus shouted: "Quickly, slay this monster! It’s the true entity sealed within this ruin!"

Rod blurted out, "How do you know?"
