The Last King Of Darkness

The immense positional pressure between the stars could no longer restrain Rod. Under the complete Primordial Law, Spiritual Energy and Divine Power fused in an absolutely perfect form, and the resulting power Strength exceeded the trillion level. This was level 19 Spiritual Energy, this was the most perfect, most powerful force in the world. It surpassed all forms of Energy, was the Peak form of all Spiritual Energy; any power was no longer essentially different from it. Even if the Primordial Gods at the beginning were Stronger than him, they could not subject him to a dimensionality-reduction strike.

Generally speaking, the power Strength a True King possesses is equivalent to the Strength of 2 billion times Divine Power, that is, equal to 1,250 trillion qike of Spiritual Energy. But because Rod had devoured more Dark Souls and fused more Source Material, his Absolute Spiritual Power was far Stronger than anticipated; therefore his power Strength was higher, approaching twice this value, surpassing 2 trillion qike.

Driven by such overwhelming power, the [Spirit Realm Ship] burst out with unimaginable thrust, like a white meteor, flying toward the depths of the Starry Sky.

As Rod went deeper, the pressure of positional Space rose exponentially, yet it was still far from enough to stop the [Spirit Realm Ship]. The powerful Spiritual Energy that tore open the Position triggered spatial ripples, spreading through the Starry Sky like a gigantic conical umbrella. Its scope was so vast, its disturbance so wide, that even observers in the Main Material World could see it.

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge kept checking the coordinates and shouted, "Master, we’re about to arrive, at the place where the Residual Spirit of the previous Savior Sorris finally dissipated."

Rod nodded. Asa had already foretold in the previous prophecy that, to sever the connection between the ultimate evildoer and the Black Ring Seal, they had to rely on Sorris, Source Master of the [Star Shuttle], and on the Shining Star Heart, the Source Artifact. Only at the place where her Residual Spirit dissipated, only by obtaining her legacy there, could they further Enhancement the power of the [Star Shuttle] and [Justice Execution], bringing them to a truly infinite level, thereby shattering the Black Ring Seal and interrupting the Black Fog’s source feedback.

But previously Rod had been completely unable to reach the coordinates Asa had foretold. The enormous positional pressure compressed the speed of the [Spirit Realm Ship] to an extremely low level, to the point that he would have to sail through the Starry Sky for countless years before reaching the target. So he could only temporarily abandon the journey through the Starry Sky, until he stepped into the Domain of a True King and possessed a [Spirit Realm Ship] with trillion-level Strength, capable of resisting this excessive positional pressure in the Starry Sky and the innumerable spatial fault lines spanning the Spirit Realm.

Soon, after crossing yet another spatial fault line, Rod finally arrived at the depths of the Starry Sky; the foretold coordinates were already not far from him.

He swept his gaze around. The matter here was extremely rarefied; almost no Spirit Realm matter could be seen, not much different from pure Void. Yet the Space was not entirely devoid of matter. With True King Level perception, Rod vaguely sensed a strange kind of Spirit drifting here. It was like gauzy mist, flowers in the wind, light feathers, both present and absent, hovering between existence and nonexistence, between Quantification and Quantization.

"This is Spirit Fog."

In an instant Rod realized that this special sensation was the legendary Spirit Fog that permeated the Three Realms, bore fate and Residual Spirit, and was the Source where Souls were born—located above the Unnamed Space.

In the depths of the Starry Sky, he had finally sensed the existence of Spirit Fog. But at the same time, he also perceived the terrifying Pollution upon the Spirit Fog. That twisted force kept trying to erode his Soul, yet was all stopped by his red light protection.

"Perhaps precisely because of this, these human Heroic Spirits could remain in the Starry Sky."

Rod gazed into the distance. A formless, profound darkness unfolded before him with boundless, arrogant ferocity—majestic, infinite, as if it could Devour the entire universe.

"The Starry Sky has been completely Polluted." In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge said softly, "It has already become the greatest source of Pollution in the Supreme Universe."

Rod said nothing. In the endless darkness he could almost no longer see a trace of light. Stars, sun, and moon all seemed to fall silent in this infinite black ocean. A strange fear rose from his heart, yet it did not topple Rod; instead it stirred his courage even more. He withdrew his gaze, clenched his fist, and flew toward the coordinate point.

Soon, Rod arrived at the target location. In this rarefied Space he saw a mist-like wreckage, floating quietly in this endless darkness like a nebula, as if a tomb that had long been dead.

A familiar aura rushed toward him. Rod sensed the ashes of [Justice Execution] and [Star Shuttle]; this was the part the dreamt Star could not absorb. It had remained in this world, quietly waiting for something.

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "This is it, Master, the place where the Residual Spirit of the previous Savior Sorris finally dissipated."

Rod stepped into this region. The ashes scattered when disturbed. Vaguely, he felt something brush his Soul once, then recede. An extremely tiny voice, like an illusion, slid past his ear.

"Ah, you finally came. Please accept this Star radiance that has been imprisoned."

"Farewell, the ten-thousand-year vigil is over."

"Sedes, Bao, Sen, I earnestly long for this: this is a memory in a fallen Dream, a tomorrow that cannot sleep. I am Sorris, the Dawn Flower, a warrior of Isalia’s Dawn Dew City. Only longing is the proof of my existence."
