The Last King Of Darkness

A gigantic black light erupted from the soul body of the Eerie Ancestor, shooting straight into the starry sky.

At the same time, an immensely powerful force exploded outward, instantly interrupting Rod’s psychic confrontation with the Eerie Ancestor and dispersing the Undying Divine Light of the Eye of Divine.

An unprecedentedly terrifying sense of fatality burst forth in Rod’s soul, instinctively causing him to retreat millions of yards in an instant, yet the terrifying ripples of energy still reached him, scattering several Light Wings, with the deflection of light reaching its limit.

"What is this?"

Rod looked up in astonishment and saw in the distance of the Spirit Realm, eight other black lights soared into the sky, and above the higher Spirit Realm, in the boundless starry sky, there appeared an immensely large black cloud. It slowly rotated like a vortex from the depths of the universe, its colossal darkness almost covering half of the starry sky.

At this moment, everyone felt something strange; their souls seemed to be vaguely obscured, and a premonition of destruction appeared in their souls.

"What is that?"

"What’s happening?"

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge frantically flipped its pages, shouting, "Master, it’s the starry sky; there’s a disturbance in the starry sky!"

Asa was enveloped entirely in blinding golden light, and the invisible cogwheels of fate turned within its book seams, shouting hoarsely, "Crisis, doomsday, destruction, end, the fracture of time, the demise of destiny, the fall of position, in that endless darkness lies the Fallen Primordial Divine King, and it’s about to break free of its bonds!"

A puppet murmured, "Is this what the Primordial Goddess meant by running out of time? The Primordial Divine King will break free from his bonds and fully awaken before we completely purify the twelve Divine Countries?"

"How could this be?"

Rod’s heart immediately sank to the bottom. Once the Primordial Divine King completely awakens, humanity will face the ultimate terror head-on, and destruction will be their only end.

But just then, Asa suddenly shouted wildly, "No, that’s not right, the Primordial Divine King has absolutely not broken free of its bonds. I’m utterly certain of this. If His power were fully released, I would cease to exist, all malevolent thoughts would cease to exist, returning to his soul and spirit as if the Evil Thought War had failed, and yet here I am, not feeling any anomaly. This proves He is still trapped in the Sea of Source."

"I understand now!"

The Book of Knowledge flipped its pages urgently, shouting, "The Primordial Divine King is not awake; it is the nine Primordial Gods that have completed their awakening. They have been released from a state of complete dormancy... No, it is not liberation, but complete conversion."

Rod’s heart shook, and he looked up, seeing the Eerie Ancestor’s soul almost transformed into a deep darkness, like an abyss leading into the depths of the universe. The terrifying black light rapidly expanded, soon enveloping the entire Shadow Evil World, unstoppable pollution and distortion swept in, making him feel strained even with the Bright Red Tears activated.

Simultaneously, the other eight black lights also became incomparably vast, rushing into the vortex of the black cloud like nine massive pillars supporting the Dark World.

Enormous black masses rose from within the giant pillars; these were the awakening Primordial Gods.

"Shagotos, the Black Evil Mother of the Abyss of Darkness!" shouted the Book of Knowledge. "Proliferation of Pollution, the destruction of order, absurdity, error, terrifying Evil God!"

Rod raised his eyes, and with the power of the King of Night, his gaze pierced the darkness, seeing the fallen Primordial God, like a massive cloud of flesh with numerous tentacles and a gaping mouth with teeth dripping with slime, and countless dreadful tentacles extended from huge black holes in the mass of flesh, resembling a malformed squid or a dark mist with billions of teeth.

"Tristan, the Supreme Demon Lord of the River of Eternal Death!" cried the Book of Knowledge. "Vitality, Demon Devouring, Gathering Spirit, Giant God, terrifying Demon King, the true ancestor of giants!"

Rod turned his gaze, seeing the cyan giant in the dark pillar, a cyan body with only skin, with its only feature being a vertical, pupil-less eye on its forehead.

This is the Supreme Demon Lord Tristan who created the Black Fog Demon; this wasn’t the first time he had encountered Him, nor was it His first awakening. Humanity had once challenged Him, but unfortunately, they failed.

"Naratos, the Chaotic Sky Demon of the City of Chaos!" shouted the Book of Knowledge. "Disorder, chaos, uncontrollable disorder, ultimate curse, ender of order, source of chaos!"

Rod turned again, seeing an ugly giant constantly howling, with a giant tentacle growing from what should have been its face.

"Bhusotos, the Ancestor of Demons of the Demon Wilderness!" shouted the Book of Knowledge once again. "Abnormal error, the most abhorrent creature, master of pollution’s vitality, supreme ruler of decay!"

This time, Rod saw a grey object with no upper or lower limbs, only a rolling head with fish fins on its grey skin, shaped like a strange, stomach-like object.

"Heratos, the Destruction God King of the Nest of Destruction!" shouted the Book of Knowledge. "Destruction and pollution, the ender of everything, destroyer of all!"

Rod widened his eyes; in the enormous black pillar, he saw a rust-red giant sphere, the surface of which shimmered with black lightning, accompanied by blinding black light.

"Blatos, the Decree King of Dead Souls of the Castle of Dead Souls!" shouted the Book of Knowledge. "Rules of destruction, decree of chaos!"

This was a mass of swirling mist, with a giant eye intermittently appearing in the fog.

"[Long Tower] Evil Power Sky God Kestos!" the Book of Knowledge cried: "Tower of Will, Shield of Protection, King of Spirits, Guardian God, Resolute Will, Evil Spirit Divine!"

In the dark giant pillar, Rod saw the bloated body, the ugly face, the filthy eyes, the pig-like visage.

"[City of Calamity] Eternal Calamity Yogtos." the Book of Knowledge cried: "Twisting deformity, worm of time, indescribable eternity!"

This was a mass of bizarre flickering shadow, almost merging with the black light.

The Book of Knowledge cried lastly: "Ancestor of [Shadow Evil World], abomination, shadow, corruption of humanity, source of grotesqueness!"

Rod lifted his gaze, witnessing that in the immense black light, the grotesque ancestor had already departed the higher Spirit Realm and entered the starry sky, immersing in that dreadful black whirlpool.

Not merely this, each dark giant pillar had seen the fallen Primordial God vanish under the black light.

"This is the summon of the Primordial God King." murmured the doll, in the dream.

The Book of Knowledge yelled frantically: "The Black Mist of the entire world is converging into the starry sky."

Asa exclaimed urgently: "Master, the Primordial God King is to fuse the power of all Primordial Gods, thoroughly eroding the Sea of Source!"

An indescribably terrifying feeling arose within Rod’s soul, representing ultimate darkness, extreme distortion, unimaginable decay, unspeakable deformity—chaos of all order, backlash of all creatures, the dark side of the universe, the shadow of the Spiritual Ocean.

At this moment, he realized one thing: if the Primordial God King completed the fusion, then the doomsday of the Supreme Universe would descend, and this eons-long struggle would come to an end, with the Supreme God King Atos achieving ultimate victory.

No!

Rod clenched his fist. This was absolutely intolerable, and he would stop it at any cost.

"Rod!"

At this moment, Qingyu’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"The tide of Black Mist is coming again!"

Rod immediately turned his gaze, seeing in the Main Material World, the receding tide of Black Mist returned once more, the vast darkness like an ocean engulfing the entire Trolian.

Not just that, he saw countless Ancient Gods, countless Old Dominators, countless Ancient Evil creatures, appearing within the black tide.

"Ancient Thunder God, Ancient Golden War God, Ancient Goddess of Fate, Ancient Wind God... Ancestor Evil Mo’er, Eye of Destruction Selagya, Doomsday Demon Otu, Void Overlord Long Demon... all have come, all silent darkness, all fallen pollution, all filthy souls, have come!"

The Book of Knowledge frantically flapped its pages and screamed with an unprecedented voice:

"This is the final war, the Black Mist has launched its final assault against us. They intend to completely extinguish the Initial Fire, annihilate every source of purification, for only then can the Primordial God King more swiftly erode the entire Sea of Source and govern all Source Law of the Supreme Universe!"

In that electrifying instant, Rod made his decision.

"Everyone, defend the Royal City."

"I’m going to the starry sky."

Luo Weiya exclaimed: "Lord Rod, you cannot do this; challenging the Primordial God King alone is a death sentence!"

Jelaba also shouted urgently: "As long as we hold the Royal City and keep the Initial Fire unextinguished, humanity will never succumb to darkness, and the Sea of Source will never become fully corrupted. We always hold onto a sliver of hope for victory, but if you fall, humanity is finished, and the last hope extinguished."

"Indeed!" Chucher also shouted: "Brother Rod, you cannot go to the starry sky!"

Rod slightly shook his head: "This is the only choice; we don’t have time to hesitate. My intuition tells me this is our last chance; although I’m far from being as powerful as them, after devouring three Divine Countries, I’ve reached 20th level Spiritual Energy, with no rank difference from those fallen Primordial Gods."

"We can still win this battle!"

Chucher wanted to say more, but Rod had already activated the Dream Ritual, sending all the human strong back to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Meanwhile, he flew out of the dream, heading towards the endless dark starry sky.
