The Last King Of Darkness

Rod did not plan to tell the Royal City about this matter or seek support, because the expansion war is in full swing. The reason Trolian dared to make such a large move is that four True Kings have emerged in the Kingdom. With their presence, any danger is no longer a threat, and all factors constraining Trolian’s expansion are rendered ineffective. Therefore, the Royal City dared to expand in this manner.

In the end, it was because these areas, although they have never been occupied, have been visited before. They roughly know how much danger and threat exist in these areas. There was no power before, but now there is. Why wouldn’t they dare to reclaim the lands that once belonged to humans?

Recapturing Saint Reel is the same.

Otherwise, the Royal City would never expand to a region nearly ten thousand kiloyards away in one go; it’s too dangerous.

Thus, Rod does not want to deploy the Royal City’s combat power, affecting the pace of expansion, which could lead to him losing Divinity.

And he is confident that even if he encounters an unbeatable existence, he is capable of escaping.

To ensure the location is not mistaken, Rod flew directly above the Dead Ash Mountain Range, heading west along the mountains.

It must be said that the grandeur of the Dead Ash Mountain Range was unimaginable to him before. These dragon-like mountains average heights of over three thousand yards, with the tallest peak reaching ten thousand yards. The terrain is rugged and steep, exceedingly hard, tougher than any ground reinforced with Spiritual Energy. Even with Rod’s current strength, he can’t cut through them.

Throughout this journey, Rod discovered that the concentration of Black Fog is indeed much higher than before. After flying slightly over two thousand kiloyards, he was entirely surrounded by Source Black Fog.

According to the Royal City’s definition, regions filled with Source Black Fog are the deepest parts of the Fog. Entering here signifies entering the "real Dark World".

In other words, the real Dark World has already approached within three thousand kiloyards of the Royal City.

Although the Saint Reel Region has not reached this level, in recent times, the Black Fog has been rapidly increasing. Maybe soon, the vicinity of Saint Reel will be enveloped by Source Black Fog.

Rod did not bring the Red Tear Stone or Fire Lantern. Around him, a radiant red light shone brightly, blocking the heavy Source Black Fog from his body.

[Red Tears]: Possesses protective fire power from the Red Tear Stone.

The ability of [Bright Red Tears] is very useful. General Red Tear Stones are not as effective as it, and as Rod’s soul grows stronger, its protective effect will become increasingly powerful.

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary star.

Rod felt a slight regret. If it were a Giant Star, it would be much better.

After flying for a moment, Rod is now more than five thousand kiloyards from the Royal City, yet he still hasn’t seen the end of the Dead Ash Mountain Range or the legendary Giant Graveyard.

"Could it be wrong?"

Rod felt a slight doubt in his heart, but after flying another three thousand kiloyards, he still didn’t see the end.

No.

I have flown almost eight thousand kiloyards; the Royal City is at the midsection of the Dead Ash Mountain Range; its west side cannot be this long.

Rod stopped, activated the Eye of the Soul, and cautiously surveyed his surroundings, soon detecting something wrong—there were slight distortion marks in the space around him.

"Master!"

The Book of Knowledge shouted.

"This is a Mist Space; you’ve been trapped in this area, going around in circles without moving forward!"

Rod realized what was happening. This was the manipulation of Space Source Law, someone was preventing him from reaching the Giant Graveyard.

"Is it Ark? Hmph, do they think this will stop me?"

Together with the [Spirit Boat], Rod instantly traversed space, leaping out of this Mist Space.

The [Spirit Boat] inherently has the ability to shuttle between the Spirit Realm and Material World; he just hadn’t noticed it before.

His vision immediately returned to normal, and Rod accelerated forward, indeed seeing no repetition in the scenery around.

"Since when did Ark have the Space Source Law? And how does he know I’m heading to the Giant Graveyard?"

Rod glanced at Asa.

Of course, it’s impossible that he leaked the information.

Forget it, it might not be Ark, the region could have been distorted originally.

Anyway, as long as I possess more powerful strength, all schemes will be shattered before me.

Rod firmed his thoughts, then ceased to ponder further.

Soon, the height of the mountains began to decrease; it should be the end.

Rod quickly descended in height, discovering that the end of the Dead Ash Mountain Range is rather peculiar—a large stretch of flat low hills, ranging in height from one thousand to two thousand yards, but with a width of four thousand to five thousand yards, narrow at the front and wide at the back, slightly whitish.

"This is it!"

The Book of the Future shouted.

"To its south."

Rod flew south, and shortly after, he saw twelve towering round pillars rise from the endlessly dark ground.

They were entirely white, with diamond patterns etched on the pillars.

A huge rectangular graveyard lay between the pillars, at least two thousand yards high and tens of thousands of yards long, exuding a majestic aura.

Is this the Giant Graveyard?

Rod rapidly descended and found the side of the Giant Graveyard had already crumbled and collapsed, as if struck by something.

In the deep darkness, extremely dense Source Black Fog was rolling over.

Rod hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is my opportunity within the graveyard?"

The Book of the Future confidently replied, "Yes, Master."

Rod cautiously flew into the graveyard, with the red glow compressing slightly but still resolutely blocking the Source Black Fog.
