The Last Dark King

Latest website: Sure enough, when Rhodes announced the candidate, everyone was quite shocked.

Especially Horus himself.

In their minds, the Archbishop was not even considered, not even by himself.

"Rhode, why do you think it's me?"

After a moment of silence, Horus asked.

"This is an important matter related to Trorian's safety. It cannot be ranked purely based on merit and qualifications. It should be given to the young people with the most potential and qualifications. The stronger Trorian is, the more important it is for those of us who have been special Only the old man who gives everything to Luorian will get a better reward."

Rovia said: "The rise of Trorian is our wish. Personal strength is irrelevant in the face of such a great revival."

Horus nodded and continued: "As for my qualifications, everyone knows very well. Although the bright light characteristics are suppressed by the black mist, I can't even step into the ranks of the Herrscher before I obtain the remnant soul of the Holy King. , No matter how you look at it, my qualifications are not high. There are countless geniuses in Trolian who are better than me."

Percival also said: "Sir Rhodes, if it weren't for the fact that you are a human being and have a special side, this candidate would undoubtedly be yours."

Rhodes smiled. The Ascension Ceremony has a certain effect on him, but not much. His foundation is the stars of dreams. Without igniting new stars, his strength will never truly increase. Divinity and The soul is his core resource.

Improving the overall strength of mankind is one of the main ways for Rhodes to obtain divinity.

Therefore, he will definitely choose the most suitable person to perform the ascension ceremony.

Horus is the correct answer.

"Trust me, I know this better than all of you."

Rhodes said seriously.

"Our archbishop was chosen not because of his past achievements and current status, but because of the potential hidden in his soul."

He did not mention the remnant soul of the Holy King, just hoping to give Horus some confidence.

"My potential?"

Horus opened his eyes wide, as if silently asking: "Do I still have potential?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Archbishop, you have potential." Rhodes said cautiously: "Please believe me, this is my intuition."

Although there was no clear reason, even though there was no conclusive evidence, everyone chose to believe it based on their infinite trust in Rhodes.

Rhodes smiled and said: "Then, without further ado, let's start the spirit ascension ceremony now."

Everyone was very surprised. No one was mentally prepared. Percival hesitated and asked: "Are you too anxious?"

Rhodes said in a deep voice: "Strike while the iron is hot. We have fully understood everything about the Ascension Ceremony. There is no need to wait any longer. The sooner Trolian becomes stronger, the sooner we rise. Do you know what snowballing is?" ?”

He briefly explained the principle of snowballing and then concluded.

"The more powerful Trollian is, the more resources we get, and the more resources there are, the faster Trollian's rise is, and the snowball will get bigger and bigger, eventually growing far beyond its original size. "Two years ago, it was difficult for us to imagine the current scale, and now, it is also difficult for us to imagine the scale two years from now. Taking an early step will have immeasurable impact on the future."

After the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the Holy Fire Sacrifice Ground.

Everyone stared at him as if they were meeting him for the first time.

"Rhode, I finally understand something now."

Horus sighed.

"That is, you cannot use temporary stupidity to judge a person's wisdom. Some people may look like fools at first, but in fact they contain great wisdom."

Rhodes' face darkened.

Can you please stop mentioning this? I just didn't think straight before, and I'm not really a fool.

But everyone agrees with this. In their eyes, the current Rhodes and the former Rhodes are completely two people. Even if the former Rhodes often performed miracles, they are not so reliable in their perception.

Now, Rhodes has become Optimus Prime, second only to King, and no one is more reliable than him.

Rhodes didn't bother to argue with them and started preparing for the ascension ceremony.

Regarding this powerful soul ritual, the Pope's last words explain it very clearly. The ritual itself is not very complicated. With sufficient materials, it is not difficult to prepare.

The location of the ceremony was chosen at the Holy Fire Sacrifice Ground.

The spiritual ascension ceremony improved by humans is close to fire, and is also called the fire spiritual ascension ceremony. The closer the ceremony is to the fire, the greater its power.

There is no better location than the Holy Fire Shrine.

Soon, the Logistics Resources Department transported a large amount of real silver, psychic crystals and gems required for the ceremony to the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

They will form a fundamental part of the ceremony.

Rhodes stretched out his hands. Under the spiritual pressure of 8 million kilometres, the spiritual gem quickly shattered, turned into powder, mixed with real silver, and penetrated into the spiritual crystal in a specific way. A fundamental part of the ritual.

With the efforts of everyone, it only took half an hour to complete.

The entire spiritual ascension ceremony looks like a complicated seventeen-sided shape, but at each of its four corners, there is a strange circular pattern.

Afterwards, Rhodes stepped into the Spirit Ascension Ceremony and placed 2 Light Stones due north, 2 Pure Star Essence due west, 2 Pure Star Source due south, and finally, a Divine Stone due east.

The next second, the entire ceremony lit up. A hazy light rose up, covering the entire venue. It interacted with the golden light of the holy fire. A strange aura came oncoming. For a moment, Rhodes It felt like he was standing in the endless sky, surrounded by endless emptiness. His mind was infinitely open, as if he was integrated with the universe.

"it's time."

Rhodes said while suppressing his excitement.

"Horus, step into the center of the ceremony."

Horus' dry face showed a rare hint of nervousness. He couldn't help but ask again: "Rhodes, are you sure it's me? Do I really... have potential?"

Rhodes said solemnly: "I have never been so sure at this moment, Archbishop, that your potential exceeds your imagination. It is the suppression of the black mist that restricts your growth."

Horus couldn't help but have a smile on his face. After all, he was the archbishop of Trolian and had seen countless storms. He quickly calmed down and stepped into the Ascension Ceremony Center.

Everyone retreated outside the ceremony. Rhodes stood on the edge of the ceremony, pressed his hands on the ground, and carefully touched his spirit to the spirit ascension ceremony.

The next second, he seemed to be in the center of the ocean of spirits. Infinite spirits flooded his sight. Infinite spiritual energy surged under the ocean. And in the center of this infinite space, stood a turbid soul. That was The soul of Horus.

The Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly: "Yes, this is the spirit ascension ceremony, the legendary highest soul ceremony. It will use the power of the spirit of the universe to enhance the status of the spirit, forcibly increase the potential of the soul, and finally How much you get depends entirely on your qualifications and abilities.”

The Book of the Future was also very excited: "Master, I feel the infinite possibilities. Your operation will greatly affect the effect of the ascension ceremony. If you want the best effect, every step must be perfect, so let me use prophecy Let’s help you!”

It turned the pages crazily, and golden light flashed wildly in the pages.

"Master, try your best to concentrate."

Rhodes clenched his hands, and suddenly a strong wind blew across the entire spiritual ocean.

"Washing away the soul of Horus."

Rhodes pointed the spiritual wind at Horus, and his soul was immediately surrounded by the spiritual wind.

“Inspire a stronger spirit.”

The spiritual ocean began to roar, and the spiritual currents began to rush towards Horus' soul.

"Make sure the wind is outside the water, and then stimulate the deeper spirit, with clear layers."

Deeper spiritual currents rushed towards Horus's soul, and he showed a look of pain.

"On this basis, try to stimulate a deeper spirit as much as possible! Round after round, never stop!"

Rhodes unleashed all his strength and tried his best to control the spirit ascension ceremony. The water flowing into Horus's soul became thicker and deeper. His spirit obviously underwent strange changes, becoming more ethereal and transparent. , just like the blue sky.

"His spiritual status has increased!" Book of the Future shouted.

Rhodes noticed that Horus' soul body also changed. It seemed to be stretched to one side. The originally turbid soul body became clear. More powerful power was released, and the spiritual ocean was collapsing towards him. , his spiritual power is rising sharply.

it works!

Rhodes suddenly became excited and used all his strength to lift a deeper spirit to wash away Horus's soul. After all, he was a true king with unparalleled soul power. Under his shaking, the entire spiritual ocean was shaking, and the deeper spirit was trembling. The spirit was lifted up by Rod and rushed into the soul of Horus.

Horus's transformation became faster and faster. The remaining soul that had been silent in his soul began to release its power, and the entire space was shaking vaguely.

But soon, the scene in front of him began to fade and gradually returned to the void.

The Book of Knowledge shouted: "The power of the Ascension Ceremony is about to be exhausted!"

Before Rhodes had time to react, the illusion in front of him disappeared, and he returned to the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

The spiritual ascension ceremony in front of me had collapsed. The basic structure was scattered on the ground and became charred, as if it had been burned. The elements in the four directions also collapsed and scattered. The light stone turned into a ball of ashes, pure The star marrow turned into a pool of burnt black oil film-like substance, the pure star source was wiped out, and the sacred stone was shattered on the ground and turned into an ordinary stone.

Horus in the middle has his eyes closed, sweating profusely, and the expression on his face is extremely distorted.

"Your Excellency Horus?" Percival asked tentatively.

The next second, Horus's expression returned to normal. He opened his eyes suddenly, and strong divine light was released from his eyes. Infinite power rushed towards his face, and violent spiritual energy fluctuations followed from his soul. Swinging in the middle.

"What a powerful psychic power." Percival was surprised.

Rhodes sensed that Horus' spiritual power had exceeded at least 2 million kilometres, which was much more powerful than the previous spiritual power.

What was even more surprising was his soul. The strong source in his soul had obviously become stronger. He looked carefully and found that by the standards of dreams, there were at least 7 strong sources.

"So strong?"

Rhodes could hardly believe that Horus was like a completely different person.

"Is the improvement effect of the Spirit Ascension Ceremony so great?"

Rovia asked softly: "Archbishop, are you feeling okay?"

An obvious smile appeared on Horus's face, like a ray of sunshine, sweeping away the depression hidden in his heart.

"Everyone, I have never felt so good. The spiritual ascension ceremony is really amazing. I have a vague feeling that I have been reborn, and my soul tells me that I am ready and can still improve."

The Book of Knowledge shouted: "This is a sign that the second round of spiritual ascension ceremony can be carried out!"

The Book of the Future also gave an accurate prediction: "Yes, he can directly perform the second round of spiritual ascension ceremony."

Everyone was extremely excited, and Rhodes decisively decided to conduct the second round of the spiritual ascension ceremony.

Soon, the remains of the previous round of spirit-ascension ceremony were swept away, and preparations for a new round of spirit-ascension ceremony were completed.

The second round of the Ascension Ceremony is like an inverted trumpet, but there is still a strange circular pattern on each of its four corners.

Rhodes placed 4 Light Stones due north, 4 Pure Star Essence due west, 4 Pure Star Source due south, and 2 Divine Stones due east, and the ascension ceremony began again.

This time, the illusion he saw was the boundless universe, and in the starry sky, there were countless air masses surrounding Horus's soul.

"This is another form of spiritual expression. They are all forms of spiritual mist." The Book of Knowledge explained.

Rhodes took a deep breath, summoned all his strength, and once again followed the instructions of the Book of the Future, perfectly completing the second round of the Ascension Ceremony.

When Horus opened his eyes again, the powerful psychic aura had already impacted Rhodes, and the field of Source Law vaguely put pressure on Rhodes.

"The intensity of spiritual energy has exceeded at least five million kilometres, and the source law in the soul has soared to at least fifteen." The Book of Knowledge said.

There are fifteen powerful sources in one soul. This is the first time Rhodes has seen it, and the biggest change is his soul. The soul body that was originally turbid due to the existence of the remnant soul of the Holy King has now become clear and clear. , most of those remaining souls that have not yet been digested have been transformed into his power.

Horus clenched his fists and murmured: "I can still do it, I can still do it."

Everyone was extremely excited. Percival shouted: "The third round of the Ascension Ceremony!"

The Book of the Future shouted excitedly: "Master, Master, I saw endless golden light. This spiritual ascension ceremony will be the most critical spiritual ascension ceremony. It will bring you a lot of divinity!"

But Rhodes did not answer because the elements were not enough.

The third round of spiritual ascension ceremony requires 8 Light Stones, 8 Pure Star Sources, 8 Pure Star Marrows, and 4 Divine Stones, but Rhodes only has 4 Light Stones, Pure Star Sources, and Pure Star Marrow left. And 7 sacred stones.

Only the Divine Stone is enough, nothing else is enough.

what to do?

The remaining ruins are very remote and may not contain these elements.

Just when Rhodes was hesitating, suddenly Hu Lun, the director of the Logistics Resources Department, rushed in and shouted: "Your Excellency Horus, Your Excellency Rhodes, I have it, I have it!"

He eagerly took out a box and opened it to see that it was a container with a sealing effect.

The aura shining in the container is exactly 4 parts of light stone, pure star source and pure star marrow.

"Big harvest, we have a big harvest, this is what Kai and Olivia collected in Saint Rey!"

Rhodes was shocked. This was too much of a coincidence. He was short of 4 copies and got 4 copies. But then he was so ecstatic that he couldn't care about anything else. He immediately took the container and said loudly.

"Preparing for the third round of spiritual ascension ceremony."

Everyone agreed with a roar.

The third round of the Ascension Ceremony was a strange barrel-shaped form that required more spiritual materials, but with the support of the Logistics Resources Department, they completed it quickly.

Rhodes once again placed 8 Light Stones, Pure Star Source, Pure Star Marrow, and 4 Divine Stones in the four corners to start the third round of the Spirit Ascension Ceremony.

Soon, with the help of the Book of the Future, Rhodes once again completed the spiritual ascension ceremony perfectly.

During the collapse ceremony, Horu looked at his hands, and bright light shone in his palms.

He suddenly started laughing wildly.

"Hahahaha, this is the real source law of Mingguang. I finally mastered the source law of Mingguang!"

Rhodes clearly saw that in his soul, the Source Law of Mingguang had reached 25 copies, and the extremely powerful Source Law power even shook the field of the Fundamental Source.

Although he is not a true king yet, he is infinitely close to it, and is only one step away from the true king ceremony.

"Oh my god, ten million thousand moments of psychic energy."

The Book of Knowledge sighed:

"Isn't the Holy King too powerful? I can't believe that a trace of his soul can do this!"

Horus sighed: "Am I too strong? I can't believe that my potential is so strong."

Percival was surprised: "Great King, Lord Horus, you are already a great king."
