Chapter 160: Chapter 117 Preparing for Battle

Entering the Dream Realm, the first thing Rod did was to sacrifice all the souls on the altar.

It took a total of eight days, during which he hunted about 700 Evil Spirits; the number would have been higher if not for the significant decrease in their quantity during the last few days.

But even so, it was far more than what he had harvested in the sewers at the beginning.

Now, he had a total of 72,916 Soul Without Spirit, and 1,510 portions of Spirituality, which was more than enough to craft "Soul Firewood."

Rod approached the Stone Platform and placed fifty thousand Soul Without Spirit and one hundred portions of Spirituality upon it.

They resembled a pile of black and white snow mixed with a clump of translucent jelly.

The item "Powerful Soul" lit up, indicating that its substitute was now effective.

Then, he sequentially added the materials: a medium-sized Soul, ten portions of Humanity, one portion of Divinity, a thirteen-gram Radiant Stone, and ten portions of Monster Ash.

The item "Soul Firewood" became fully illuminated.

Rod let out a long sigh of relief; good thing he had two Radiant Stones, otherwise he would have had to wait until returning to do this.

With a gentle tap of his finger, the Stone Platform was engulfed in light, and a large hand and two mallets emerged from beneath, fiercely kneading and pounding the materials.

In just a moment, the Soul Firewood was crafted.

Picking up the precious item that seemed to be made of countless entwined twigs, Rod moved toward the Obelisk and entered the barren land of Souls.

In the endless darkness, a few scant bonfires burned on the wilderness, inexplicably reminding him of the current plight of humanity.

Standing before the bonfire radiating a brilliant yellow light as smooth as ribbons, he placed the Soul Firewood into it.

The fire slightly contracted and then spread out, the dancing tips of the flames becoming steady, while the Firewood lay quietly in the center, becoming the core of the blaze.

Rod knew that he needed to elevate the state of the bonfire to Limit Burning.

Stretching his hand over the Obelisk, with a single thought, the black and white fluffy matter gathered in the palm of his hand.

This was the Soul Without Spirit.

Scattering them into the bonfire, the fire’s intensity surged.

It took three thousand souls to go from "Weak Burning" to "Continuous Burning," and four thousand to transition from "Continuous Burning" to "Blazing Burning."

Then to "Overburning," he used another five thousand.

The final "Limit Burning" took ten thousand.

In the blink of an eye, Rod’s seventy thousand plus Soul Without Spirit dwindled down to just 916.

The originally less than one-person-tall brilliant yellow bonfire expanded to over two persons high, the flames fierce, shaking in the gale like ribbons, reminiscent of a running girl’s skirt.

A line of bright yellow text appeared in the void.

"Justice Execution"

"State: Limit Burning"

"Star Energy: Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies"

"Inject: Soul Without Spirit"

"Fire: Humanity"

"Quantification: Unavailable"

"Position: Fiery Fire"

"Strength: 310"

"Description: Amidst the dark night where stars twinkle, I only wish to guard such a brilliant you"

——

Rod’s eyes widened, the change this time far exceeded his expectations.

He had used a total of 22,000 Soul Without Spirit to elevate "Justice Execution" to the state of "Blazing Fire."

Previously, the same level of position for "Frost Blue" had cost him less than one thousand.

The difference was enormous.

But the change was also tremendous.

"Justice Execution" had its strength increased from 10 to 310 in one go.

One must understand that "Frost Blue," when completely burning, only had a strength of 200, and "Dark Devourer" only 30.

"Justice Execution" had just reached "Blazing Fire," yet its strength surpassed both.

Does this imply that there is a significant difference between one bonfire and another?

Does the volume of "Justice Execution" far exceed theirs?

Considering the differing needs for igniting stars, this speculation is likely true.

Suddenly, Rod felt as if a great heat was welling up inside him.

With the enhancement of the Soul Star, his Soul Strength leaped from 240 to 540, more than doubling.

Doesn’t this mean that his absolute strength has also doubled?

Moreover, the explosively powerful "Spiritual Power Triple Melody" has become "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies."

What if it rises to "Golden Fire" or even "Eternal Fire"?

Wouldn’t that mean he possessed an incredibly powerful trick up his sleeve?

If he could somehow blend into a team composed entirely of super-strong members, and at the last moment of their fight against the strongest monster, unleash a "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies," wouldn’t he strike it rich?

This is an opportunity, but also a challenge.

If managed well, the dangers he faces in the future would be greatly reduced, and he would no longer frequently encounter life-threatening crises.

However, the precondition for not having to face life-threatening situations is to first encounter them.

Ah, everything is always full of contradictions.

Rod sighed softly and left the ashen wilderness.

He glanced at the text on the Obelisk, which now read:

Soul Strength: 540

Soul Star: 3

Humanity: 611

Divinity: 35

Soul Without Spirit: 916

——

Only 35 Divinity remained, enough for extracting three more portions, enough to craft three "Soul Firewood."

Rod had no clue yet on how to obtain more Divinity.

But three "Soul Firewood" would last him a very long time.

He didn’t want to consider the more distant future for the time being.

Only 916 Soul Without Spirit remained as well.

His next primary task was to amass as many Soul Without Spirit as possible.

Following "Frost Blue"’s experience, "Justice Execution" would consume even more Soul Without Spirit next time.

Rod let out a sigh.

The hunt was far from over.

For the sake of not having to hunt anymore, he had to hunt with all his might, encapsulating another of his contradictions.

Rod glanced at the "Undying Spirit," "Wood Puppet," and the "Soul Ashes of the Brain-eating Demon" in the storage, thinking it would be great if he had more hidden cards.
