Chapter 747: Chapter 422: Annihilation

Soul Firewood?

Rod was completely shocked.

The last time he directly obtained Soul Firewood was at Storm Castle, where he eliminated the dark twisted vision; its source was the Demi Divine Artifact from the Starry Kingdom, and the core of the Demi Divine Artifact was the Source Material "Child of the Stars".

After the forcibly contaminated Demi Divine Artifact gave birth to a soul, Rod destroyed it and acquired a large amount of Soul Without Spirit and Soul Firewood.

However, after that, when he eliminated the dark twisted vision beneath Star City, he was unable to obtain any more Soul Firewood.

Clearly, there was no necessary connection between Soul Firewood and the dark twisted visions.

It was a creation of the Dream Realm.

Then why did killing the dark twisted vision and Human Pus at Storm Castle yield Soul Firewood?

Doubt flashed through his mind, only to be replaced by intense joy.

Soul Firewood was essential for igniting stars, making one required 10 Divinity points. Rod was stuck as a Second Level Combatant unable to advance because he lacked it!

Now, having acquired nine at once was like gaining 90 Divinity points!

This was simply a windfall!

By igniting another star, he would definitely be able to advance to a First Level Combatant and then participate in the battle of Starry Sky City.

This way, he could obtain even more Divinity!

One could say that in this mission, Alan literally saved his life!

The voice of the Book of Knowledge, cackling madly, came from his mind. Rod resisted the urge to laugh along with it and hopped away from the shattered Human Pus, pretending to be panicked, he said.

"Ah, sorry, Your Excellency Alan, I accidentally..."

But what greeted him was Kaiso’s outstretched arms.

He hugged him tightly. "You did brilliantly! Lord Rod, you’re truly our savior!"

A question mark slowly floated above Rod’s head.

Kaiso said excitedly, "Lord Alan killed too many monsters; the dark backlash caused a great burden on his soul. The Pus Heart is an unimaginably horrific source of pollution. I cannot imagine how much pollution and corrosion Lord Alan would suffer after killing it."

Rod scratched his head awkwardly. He had almost forgotten this point; the dark backlash had no effect on him, but for others, it was inescapable pollution.

Especially for high rank combatants.

Killing monsters had no benefit for them, only curses.

In Kaiso and the others’ view, Rod’s actions had helped Lord Alan.

This was rare, as Alan was so powerful that few could kill monsters under his blade.

"Hahaha."

Rod gave a confident smile.

"You’re right, I saw this point and took the initiative to kill the Human Pus... This is my specialty, this kind of dirty and tiring task of killing monsters; leave them all to me in the future!"

Kaiso was moved to tears. "Lord Rod, I hadn’t realized your qualities were so noble..."

Rod nodded slightly. "Yes, I’ve always been this noble... uh, has the source of pollution from the Pus Giant been eliminated?"

"Yes!"

Kaiso said excitedly.

"I can feel that terrifying pollution rapidly fading. The source of the Pus Giant is gone, we just need to eliminate the remaining giants and Wind City will no longer be under threat! Our task is completed! We can leave this cursed place soon!"

In the hall, rising black dust obscured the view.

All the filth, pus, and intestines evaporated along with the demise of the Human Pus.

Rod knew that all these pollutants were derivatives of the Human Pus. As its source was destroyed, these derivatives also lost their support, crumbling away and returning to the Void.

Only the evil beings he killed, a portion of their power would be plundered by the Dream Realm, becoming nourishment for his growth.

This was also why the existence of the Dream Realm was dreaded by the entire Dark World.

When he killed the symbiotic being deeply connected with the Black Fog, the feedback from the Black Fog’s source would expand endlessly until it led to its destruction.

The moment he made the choice, he had already embarked on a point of no return.

Although the pressure was immense, it was something he had to face sooner or later.

Facing it earlier, his heart instead felt calm and open.

Rod exhaled and watched as the shattered Pus Heart disappeared rapidly like thin ice under the sun, unable to help but crack a smile.

The power of the Black Fog weakened yet again, and he grew a bit stronger.

This war, I will definitely win.

He thought.

After all, I am not fighting alone.

—

The Human Pus seemed to be a very powerful pollutant. Its dissipation lasted a long time.

The black dust enveloped the three of them, making it impossible to see anything.

Kaiso waited for dozens of seconds, unable to resist saying, "Lord Alan, let’s leave first. The Detection Crystal I placed at the entrance shows that it’s slowly shrinking... There are still many unknowns hidden in this ancient Heroic Spirit Hall. We’ve resolved the source of pollution, let’s hurry and leave to avoid triggering any more incidents."

As he finished speaking, a slight tremor occurred in the hall, fine grey stones brushed down from the top of the hall, and a deep voice came from a great distance, as if something extremely heavy had moved.

Kaiso’s body tensed up immediately.

"What is this? I feel some kind of strange activity... No, no, no! The hall, it’s the hall that’s moving, we’ve triggered some kind of taboo. Lord Alan, we can’t stay here long, we must leave quickly!"

Alan did not respond; since killing the Human Pus, he had been closing his eyes and resting his hands on his sword.
