Chapter 584: Chapter 351 Battle of the Source (Part 1)_3

The killing did not slow Rod down; it even surged his Spiritual Energy, making him even faster.

Countless black lines flew in from all directions, and the numbers beneath his pupils began to jump rapidly.

The Horror Demons seemed inexhaustible; they could leap out from any corner, as if they could never be completely eradicated.

Rod almost thought about settling down here, as in a way, it was the perfect spot to make a home.

Half a clock hour later, Rod had entered deep into the forest and was hesitating about whether to stop and take out the beacon when the Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted in his mind.

"There is Divinity, there is Divinity!"

Rod was startled, immediately realizing that the source of the disaster was nearby, and urgently asked, "Which direction?"

The Book of Knowledge snapped, "How would I know which direction? Star Square only showed that this possibility exists in the future!"

Rod hurriedly looked around but saw nothing unusual.

After searching two more times, he found no suspicious places.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly remembered the skill he used by the Trident River to find the hidden Big King Ant—the Spiritual Ability Tracking from the Light Platform.

It could distinguish minor differences in Spiritual Energy and locate similar types nearby.

If the Horror Demons were indeed created by some existence, they must have something in common and might be trackable.

Without delay, Rod acted immediately, striking back with his sword, pinning a Horror Demon to the ground.

Before it died, he spread his fingers, aimed at it, and used "Spiritual Ability Tracking."

In an instant, countless blurry halos appeared before his eyes, each representing a Spiritual Energy entity.

Most were the same, indicating they were all Horror Demons.

Some were especially large; those were the enormous Horror Demons.

Rod looked around; the halos merged into one, blurry and unclear.

How could he distinguish them?

Just as he was growing anxious, suddenly, he noticed a shadow flicker in the far distance, like a cloud covering the halos.

No, there’s something else here!

Rod immediately rushed in that direction.

The shadow moved swiftly deeper into the forest, and Rod followed closely,

He pushed his speed to the limit, the enormous power from his 600 milli-clocks of Spiritual Energy cracking the ground beneath him. The White Bone Boots further strengthened the impact of his steps, propelling Rod like lightning deeper into the forest.

The Horror Demons on the path could not hinder him at all; with one sweep of his Great Sword, he sliced them into two like streaming light.

After chasing for an unknown duration, Rod suddenly noticed that there were far fewer halos around him, and the shadow had suddenly disappeared.

What happened?

Did he lose it?

Rod immediately turned off Spiritual Ability Tracking and activated the Eye of the Soul.

His vision penetrated the Black Fog, revealing a vast clearing where even the trees had vanished.

A blurry soul approached him; its Soul Body was deadly still, and its soul core was pitch black.

Without a doubt, it was a monster.

But strangely, Rod could not see its Soul Ripple, could not identify its Strength, and its Spiritual Energy was so concealed it was almost invisible, like the lowest level of battlefield dust.

Rod raised his Spiritual Energy and cautiously approached it.

Soon, he saw its form clearly.

It was a fully armed knight, clad in silver armor, but the armor’s exterior was covered in black rust, only the long sword in its hand still shone.

Is this... an ancient Fallen?

Rod’s right hand clenched the Great Sword, his left index finger pointing toward the knight.

Whoosh!

A Star Shuttle shot out like a flash of lightning, striking the knight’s chest.

But in the next second, Rod realized that it was just an afterimage.

Whoosh!

A gleaming long sword swung swiftly towards his neck from behind, and the burst of Spiritual Energy washed over Rod’s senses, making his hair stand on end.

Tenth Level Spiritual Power!

It was a Strong Level Monster!

Rod quickly sidestepped, stepped forward, and lifted his sword to block; his Spiritual Energy instantly maximized.

Clang!

The Tenth Level Spiritual Power’s long sword instantly chopped through the Ninth Level Spiritual Energy’s Great Sword, shattered Rod’s hastily formed Star Dust Shield, penetrated his Spiritual Defense, and struck his neck.

Crack.

The sword blade slid off Rod’s neck without inflicting a wound.

"Soul Defense": resisted a potentially fatal injury once.

Rod’s hands instantly touched the face mask of the knight.

Star Shuttle!

Accelerate!

Bang!

Ten Star Shuttles exploded directly on the knight’s face, blasting its knight helmet off, revealing a Living Corpse’s face underneath.

The Living Corpse was unharmed by the explosion; the second sword swung at Rod again.

Rod did not dodge; his ten fingers fully focused on condensing Star Shuttles, and he charged straight ahead.

Whoosh!

A Tenth Level Spiritual Power enhanced blade once again sliced past Rod’s body, and ten fully-formed Star Shuttles also hit the Living Corpse’s face—precisely at the moment it struck.

Bang!

A massive explosion engulfed the Living Corpse, and the scattered starlight brightened the surroundings.

The Living Corpse fell to its knees, its long sword dropping to the ground, its Spiritual Energy frozen in chaos, and a large hole appeared in its soul.

Indeed!

The Fallen’s method of using Spiritual Energy was similar to humans; during an attack, their defense was extremely weak.

His thoughts flashed by; Rod didn’t hesitate for half a second, stepped forward in a flash, and his translucent right hand plunged into the hollow of its soul, grabbing its soul’s string.

Bang.

As if an explosion came from the Void, the Living Corpse’s body collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
