Chapter 667: Chapter 391: The Battle of Dark Stars (Part 2)_2

As a result, it gained four times the Spiritual Energy recovery effect.

And with the Phantom’s Spiritual Energy Trace Origin, it was as if Rod had achieved a sevenfold increase in Spiritual Energy recovery!

The consumed Spiritual Energy quickly replenished, even the doubled energy consumption of the Phantom couldn’t stop this.

Soon, "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" reached the fourteenth second.

This was a watershed moment, as the power of Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies finally broke through the highest limits currently testable by humans.

The defenses of Dark Stars were instantly breached, and the powerful Psychic Cannon struck right into its eyeball, with the force of destruction outputting wildly.

Effective, indeed!

Rod was overjoyed within his heart; earlier, while the puppet and the Evil Ghost King were entangled with Dark Stars, he had spent 10 points of Divinity to seek answers from "Divine Sense".

At the time, the answer from "Divine Sense" was that Dark Stars possessed powerful perception abilities and used the feedback from threats as the basis for its combat strategy—breaking its instinctual calculations was the only path to victory.

So Rod had been hesitant, not taking action recklessly.

It wasn’t until the puppet suddenly exerted force, wounding Dark Stars, that its counterattack followed, forcing him to use "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" and "Spiritual Power Tide".

The might of "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" doubled every two seconds, and after fourteen seconds, its incremental increase began charting off the scale.

Up to now, Rod had never seen any means that could spike in power as suddenly as this one.

If not for prior knowledge of its characteristics, it would have been impossible to predict its power two seconds later, based solely on the current feedback.

The combination of "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" and "Spiritual Power Tide" was the most likely to breach the defenses of Dark Stars.

And indeed it was so.

Dark Stars did not take the initial barrage of the Psychic Cannon seriously, just raising an ordinary defense; in its instinctive calculations, such a defense could never possibly be broken by such a weak attack.

Until the fourteenth second.

The Psychic Cannon, whose power had surged suddenly, had broken through the calculations of Dark Stars and struck right into its core.

Dark Stars, suddenly sustaining massive damage, immediately drew back its powers to defend fully.

The troubling influence from the Book of Knowledge disappeared as it took a deep breath, quickly shielding itself with the power of the Dream Realm before dividing part of its power to attack Dark Stars, attempting to tear open its soul.

Dark Stars raised a new Spiritual Defense, blocking the Psychic Cannon; more of its power engaged in a fight with the Dream Realm.

But two seconds later, the Psychic Cannon’s power doubled again, and two blazing white pillars of light once again pierced the defense, hitting the sinister eyeball like a heavy hammer.

The skull shook, black material exploded everywhere, and Dark Stars was grievously wounded; it raised its Spiritual Defense for the third time.

Yet after another two seconds, it was breached once more.

Dark Stars was a creature of chaos, devoid of wisdom; it could not understand the characteristics of "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" and could only fight according to its pre-programmed instincts.

As a result, its defenses were repeatedly penetrated, its powers thrown into disarray, retreating under the pressure of the Book of Knowledge.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Book of Knowledge laughed maniacally.

"You mere Dark Stars, are not the match for the noble wisdom and beauty of..."

Bang!

An odd noise came from the Void.

The Book of Knowledge looked on in horror as its connection with the Dream Realm was severed, the white fog unable to penetrate the lands of the Dream Realm any longer.

The puppet, lying on the ground barely alive, cried out, "The rules have changed! A new Law has been established, here, soul bridging is a forbidden act, not allowed!"

"How can this be?"

The Book of Knowledge clearly panicked; its soul was incomplete and could not connect directly with the Dream Realm, it had always controlled the powers of the Dream Realm through bridging, and with bridging now forbidden, no one could manipulate the power of the Dream Realm—it would only try to suppress Dark Stars with instinct, attempting to devour its soul directly.

Even if the Dream Realm burned 100 points of Divinity, it still couldn’t achieve this.

And so, the threat to Dark Stars was greatly reduced; the Dream Realm neither blocked its attacks nor could tear open its soul.

And though Dark Stars was suppressed by the Dream Realm and was devastated by its exposure to sunlight, its absolute power was still far superior to everyone else’s.

The continuously escalating Psychic Cannon posed a significant threat to Dark Stars, which turned its gaze toward the distant Rod and Phantom.

Accompanied by an invisible twisting fluctuation, Phantom instantly disintegrated, and Rod also shattered into countless fragments, merging back into the Dream Realm.

Dark Stars shifted its gaze back to the Obelisk, an invisible giant hand reached into the Source’s domain, beginning to dismantle the laws of "Guardian of Darkness".

—

Fire Hall.

Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground.

Rod’s eyes snapped open suddenly, pain flashing through his soul like lightning, but he clenched his teeth, forbidding himself from making a sound and immediately closed his eyes again, trying to return to the Dream Realm.

But the soul pain was unbearable, and he failed in his two attempts to return.

Without hesitation, Rod immediately covered his hands in his long sleeves and shaped the rarely used Lightning Symbol.

Sure enough, in the next instant, Rod’s soul rose into the air, his vision blurring, his feet lightened, and he was back in the Dream Realm once more.

But no sooner had he opened his eyes than he felt an unprecedented force pressing down on him, making him unable to move an inch, his Spiritual Energy stagnant.

Turning his head to look, there was the skull, heavy with thick black smoke, its hollow eyes staring at him, bursting forth with intense purple light.

Rod felt his soul’s movement become sluggish; he was not only unable to use Spiritual Energy, but he was also unable to summon the power of the Stars.
