The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1654 - 776:

[Wind’s Phantom] is not a Great Star, it only costs 100 Divinity to awaken.

The awakening process is very simple; Rod only saw the smile of a red-haired girl turning back, and the awakening was complete.

A low voice echoed in his ear.

"Ah, you will meet her again."

"From now on, you are my master."

The light of the stars submerged the Dream Realm for the second time.

[Wind’s Phantom]

[State: Primordial]

[Position: Above the Spirit Realm]

[Star Energy: Strong Wind Phantom] 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

[Description: They don’t know, I long for the smile when you took my hand last time and looked back.]

——

[Strong Wind Phantom]: Summon a strong phantom of yourself, the phantom possesses stronger life and can use your power, any damage you receive will be transferred to the phantom until it disappears.

[Wind Heart]: Can summon multiple [Strong Wind Phantoms].

——

Not bad at all.

After reading, Rod thought.

Once awakened, you can summon many strong wind phantoms, so that the doll, Asa, and three Ghost Kings can appear simultaneously in the Material World.

As for the main phantom, Rod does not plan to use it; the phantom cannot fight autonomously, it must be shared in control with him, and will also consume his Spiritual Energy. In ordinary battles, it doesn’t matter; at the level of a True King, dividing attention is less effective than focusing on the main body in battle.

Thus, the main use of this phantom is to carry other consciousness or take on damage for him.

The Book of Knowledge excitedly said, "Master, you still have 5 stars not awakened and 2 stars not quantified."

Rod nodded; with [Time Lock] now, he is no longer in a hurry. If necessary, he could awaken all remaining 5 stars in a very short time.

But there’s no need; it consumes too much of his Spiritual Energy.

After all, he still needs to go to the frontline for combat. The awakening of stars can be done step by step; missing battles will reduce Divinity.

This is intolerable.

"We must quickly find the Source Material for these two stars."

Rod said.

"Also, have we decided on the next Spirit Realm area?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped through its pages, "Master, if there are no surprises, the next area, we will go to the Shadow Evil World, about 2 days from now. But before entering this area, you must make the special creation ’Time Gate’ at the City of Calamity. This powerful item will be one of our trump cards."

Rod nodded; [Time Gate] requires 3 units of Pure Star Source and 3000 units of Spiritual Flower, the cost is too high. He hasn’t been determined to make it, but with Amidala the Starry Sky Devourer’s invasion imminent, it seems the time has come to create it.

In the Royal City, there are plenty of Pure Star Sources now. Taking 3 units shouldn’t be a problem, right?

After all, the Divinity from Pure Star Sources has already been given to me.

Rod thought, leaving the Dream Realm, he arrived at the Holy Church, where the Three Elements were stored.

With Rod’s current status and prestige, taking out 3 units of Pure Star Source is not a problem; 3000 units of Spiritual Flower is also not a problem for him. Soon, [Time Gate] was completed, becoming yet another trump card for him.

Now, Rod could say he is ready for everything, just waiting for the invasion.

But the Book of Knowledge is still uneasy, urgently wanting him to gather more Divinity.

The reserve of Divinity in the Dream Realm is too low; without it, it has no confidence.

Rod feels the same way.

Divinity is forever his biggest trump card, without equal.

In the following days, Rod continued to be active on the frontline, leading Trolian warriors in further advancement.

After crossing the Sword Edge Mountain Range, the monsters behind grew much stronger, but under the guidance of two True Kings, numerous Monarchs, and Commanders, their pace of advancement didn’t slow down a bit.

The area controlled by Trolian expanded exponentially, even exceeding ten times that of the main body.

In the vast area, countless resources are contained, with innumerable mines.

Every day, over a hundred mines are built and started, and countless fertile Spiritual Soil is purified and transformed for planting crops or Spirit Grass.

Trolian’s resource output is rising at an astonishing speed.

The material equipment of Trolian’s warriors, from top to bottom, has soared rapidly, approaching the standards of the Fire Epoch.

Just during this time, the Investigation Legion discovered a relic while searching for traces leading to the Main Continent. Inside was a resource supply list. After appraisal, it belonged to one of the powerful kingdoms from the peak of the Fire Epoch, [Sigles].

From this list, they realistically understood the material supply standards of that time—about 120 times what they once had, and 3 times the current.

Using this list, Bossivale further refined Trolian’s cultivation system, infinitely aligning with the former Fire Epoch.

He excitedly informed the Supreme Council.

"As long as we maintain such supply, in the newest cultivation system, our newborn combat power will exceed five times what it was before."

"According to this list, the [Sigles] Kingdom, just one southern legion had over one hundred thousand Commanders. During that era, only Commanders could enter the real battlefield and face true darkness. Below Commanders, they were uniformly unfinished cultivation students, concepts like Transcendent, Non-human, and Perfect are ones we only use."

The elders were shocked by Bossivale’s words, and Amendo couldn’t help but ask, "When can we reach their level?"

Bossivale proudly said, "I boldly predict that as long as we fully adopt this standard, within a year, we will also have one hundred thousand Commanders, and Monarchs will exceed 100."

His words completely moved all the high-ranking members of Trolian, even the King expressed his praise.

This way, the demand for resources in Trolian became even more urgent.

They even felt the current pace of expansion was still too slow and rushed to include the entire former Saint Reel Kingdom under control.

This was originally a relatively simple matter; after the Blood God’s ravage, there were no other monsters in the Saint Reel Kingdom; with the Blood God’s fall, it’s a blank land, so occupying it shouldn’t present much difficulty.

But things were not as smooth as imagined.

Somehow, they began encountering more and more Black Fog Symbionts in battles.

These Black Fog Symbionts are quite strong, with Spiritual Power Strength generally between levels 16 and 17, identical to what Rod encountered while guarding the Holy Fire.

Combat power below Monarch cannot fight alone, only relying on large troops and Resonance Plates to battle.

Even Monarchs find it very challenging; without a strong Monarch, one-on-one battles are not feasible.

The advance faced significant hindrance, battlefield pressure quickly increased, and expansion speed dramatically slowed.

Fortunately, at this time, Rod stood out once again.
