CH 195

Rode felt like his whole body was about to split open.

What the hell is an ancient god?

Dean, are you trying to trick me?

Rode's heart turned cold, and the blood in his body spread with a chilling aura.

He read it over and over again, confirming that there were no translation or understanding errors. Combined with the previous warning message, he confirmed that it meant exactly what it said.

The next invader was an ancient god.

The time of its arrival was unknown.

Rode forced himself to calm down.

Now it seemed that the dream was definitely some kind of "independent space" in the spirit world.

"Quantification" would have an impact on this space and the spirit world.

The "River of Eternal Death" was obviously a certain area in the spirit world.

And the disturbance of the dream awakened the ancient god sleeping in the "River of Eternal Death".

It locked onto the dream and was about to invade it.

Based on this speculation, there were two possibilities.

The first possibility was that the dean didn't know that "quantification" would cause such a chain reaction, leading to a tragedy.

The second possibility was that the dean knew this, but he believed that Rode could find a way to avoid this tragedy.

Rode leaned towards the second possibility.

With the dean's profound knowledge and wisdom, it was impossible for him not to be aware of this.

So, this means that I have some way to prevent the invasion of the ancient god, or even defeat it and gain unimaginable benefits.

Once the idea was opened up, countless thoughts emerged. The most important one was that based on the information from the previous invasion, Rode deduced that the ancient god might have lost most of its power over the long years and become very weak.

Once it entered the dream, it would be blasted by his [Spiritual Energy Sextet].

The more Rode thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

Yes, it must be like this. The dean's judgment couldn't be wrong.

I need to quickly adjust myself to the strongest state, blast the ancient god, and plunder its complete soul.

Rode immediately turned and jumped onto the Soul Altar.

The current Soul Altar was no longer empty. The giant hand representing the Eye of the Soul, the scythe representing Soul Strike, and the crystal wall representing Soul Seal were neatly arranged on the altar.

The souls were no longer floating above the altar but sealed within the crystal wall.

Although Theodore didn't kill all the monsters while possessing Rode's body, he relied more on the power of his teammates to achieve victory. But occasionally, he did kill some monsters.

At a glance, the crystal wall was filled with souls.

530 [Soul of the Corrupted Snake People of Siglas], 22 [Soul of the Bloodthirsty Beast], 201 [Soul of the Crawling Insect People of Siglas], and hundreds of various scattered monster souls.

Among them, the largest one was naturally the soul of the Great Snake.

[Soul of the Abyssal Great Snake Premus]

[A very powerful soul]

[Has three sources]

[The Abyssal Great Snake Premus is one of the many descendants of the ancient Ross. Blindly pursuing power, he eventually became the incarnation of the abyss.]

Rode's eyes widened.

Three sources?

A soul has three sources?

Does that mean I can ignite another star now?

There's no time to waste. The invasion could happen at any moment.

Rode acted immediately.

The next star had already been decided: [Divine Sensation].

To ignite it, he needed three source souls, 100,000 soulless souls, and 1,500 spirituality.

No problem, all the conditions could be met.

Rode immediately entered the Soul Wilderness and threw the soul of the Abyssal Great Snake and 1,500 spirituality into the ashes of the bonfire.

But he didn't add any soulless souls.

He remembered clearly that the dean had said that if the soul was strong enough, it could make up for this requirement.

Sure enough, the soul of the Abyssal Great Snake didn't disappoint his expectations, and the bonfire ignited directly.

He didn't add any of the 100,000 soulless souls.

Dean is mighty!

Rode smiled happily, even more convinced of his judgment.

Soon, pale flames rose before his eyes, and a new star was ignited.

Rode was already very proficient in this process.

[Divine Sensation]

[Status: Weak Burning]

[Star Energy: Inspiration]

[Infusion: Soulless Souls]

[Adding Fire: Humanity]

[Quantification: Unavailable]

[Potential: Dim Flame]

[Intensity: 500]

[Description: Every day that doesn't dance is a betrayal of life]

——

With an initial intensity of 500, this was a very powerful star.

But now, Rode didn't pay much attention to it. After all, his soul intensity had already exceeded 10,000.

[Inspiration]: Gain more insights during cultivation.

Not bad.

It can speed up my learning process. Those who have bullied me, get ready to be crushed under me.

Haha.

Rode smiled excitedly and sacrificed all the souls inside the crystal wall, obtaining a total of 310,000 soulless souls, 1,650 spirituality, and some residual soul fragments.

Adding to the previous 50,000 soulless souls, he now had a total of 360,000 soulless souls.

This was an unprecedented fortune. In this battle, he gained countless rewards and made a huge profit.

Rode was full of confidence and quickly infused the soulless souls into the star.

The flame of [Divine Sensation] rapidly expanded, going from "Weak Burning" directly to "Extreme Burning," and the intensity jumped from 500 to 2,500.A total of 150,000 soulless souls were used, with a ratio of about 1 to 75.

In terms of efficiency, it is much higher than the "Soul Elegy", but the upper limit is far lower.

After reaching the "Extreme Burning" state, the "Soul Firewood" is needed to enhance the "potential" of the stars, otherwise it cannot be further fueled.

Now, the material for making "Soul Firewood" is no longer difficult for Rode, the difficulty lies in the "divinity".

To make "Soul Firewood", one divine essence is needed, which is 10 points, but Rode only has 6 points now.

So the strengthening of this star can only temporarily stop here.

Rode injected the remaining 210,000 soulless souls into the "Soul Elegy".

This is a super star specifically used to enhance spiritual power. Its upper limit is terrifyingly high, but it also consumes a lot of energy.

After adding so many soulless souls, its state has only reached "excessive burning" from "blazing burning", and the intensity has only increased from 3010 to 5015.

The ratio is about 1 to 110.

The larger the star, the higher this ratio.

So the best strategy is to first fill up the smaller stars and then enhance the larger stars.

But Rode lacks "Soul Firewood" now, so he can only do this.

After some operations, Rode looked at the number on the top of the obelisk.

Soul Strength: 15415

Soul Stars: 6

Humanity: 41055

Divinity: 6

Soulless Souls: 0

---

Looking at the soul strength that has far exceeded the initial level, Rode couldn't help but smile.

According to the previous ratio, his spiritual power at this moment has reached about 26,000 marks.

Finally, he feels a bit upscale.

Haha, Ancient God, come on, let me crush you!

Boom!

The dream trembled.

Then, the entire sky turned black, and the rolling mist in the distance turned into dazzling red clouds.

A shadow was approaching him from the red clouds.

The "omen surface" of the obelisk instantly turned red, and the blood-red words on the surface of the monument flashed rapidly.

Invasion!

Invasion!

Invasion!

Dead souls return to silence, the Ancient God is coming!

All things perish, spiritual power remains forever!

What?

Rode could hardly believe his eyes.

Really?

I was just talking, I'm not ready yet!

The shadow in the red clouds grew bigger and bigger, and a huge oval-shaped object could be vaguely seen.

It was like a half-opened shell, with countless organs entangled inside. You could see the beating heart, the wriggling stomach, and the huge intestine-like tentacles extending from the shell, replacing its legs and hands.

In the darkness inside the shell, a terrifying face appeared and disappeared.

Rode didn't have time to prepare, he could only quickly crush some wooden puppets and let them go forward to resist, while starting to release the "Spiritual Power Sextet".

At the moment when his mind connected to the star, an unmatched spiritual power rushed towards his right hand like a waterfall, his soul quickly dried up, and the sense of horror in the void approached rapidly.

Rode continuously used "Awakening", and more spiritual power poured in, supporting this unprecedented spiritual power cannon.

A few seconds later, an unmatched monster slowly emerged from the edge of the dream.

It looked unremarkable, just a giant shell with legs, moving with the help of several intestine-like tentacles. The half-opened shell was shrouded in dense darkness, but you could still see huge organs and countless heads.

A face of pain appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

The moment it entered the dream, the Ancient God slowly moved towards the obelisk, ignoring Rode.

Its movement was very slow, relying entirely on its tentacles crawling on the ground.

The dream had turned completely black, and the only source of light was the rolling red clouds in the distance.

But Rode did not activate his spiritual vision, to avoid direct confrontation with the powerful existence and getting injured.

The "Spiritual Power Sextet" was about to be completed, and a huge bright yellow spiritual power wrapped around his arm, forming a presence like a giant cannon.

At this moment, there must be no mistakes.

Rode took a deep breath and played the last note.

Boom!

An unprecedented torrent burst out, and the spiritual power, which was dozens of times stronger than the initial intensity, directly hit the shell of the Ancient God.

But in the next moment, Rode felt like his body was pierced by countless thorns, and his soul seemed to fall into a furnace, melting under high temperature.

Everything went black in front of him, and in the next moment, he was back in the material world.

He was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with flame patterns, faint light wandering in the air, the bedroom was quiet, and there was no one.

But the intense pain in his mind indicated that what just happened was not a dream, his spiritual body in the dream had died.

How... did I die?

The spiritual power torrent clearly hit the Ancient God, why am I the one who died?

Without much thought, Rode quickly returned to the dream.

In the dream completely shrouded in darkness, the Ancient God was still moving steadily towards the obelisk, every step it took was extremely difficult, but it seemed to be a difficulty brought about by some kind of high-level game, and it had nothing to do with Rode.

There was not a trace left on its huge shell.

Dozens of wooden puppets tried to stop it, but the huge tentacles rolled over them, turning the branches that touched the tentacles into powder, without delaying for half a second.

What's going on?

Is the "Spiritual Power Sextet" fake?

Rode hadn't recovered yet, an even larger tentacle emerged from the shell and heavily smashed into the obelisk.

Accompanied by an unprecedented loud noise, it felt like a hundred groundhogs were screaming in his brain, and intense pain instantly spread throughout his body.

Boom.

The second strike.

His soul shattered in the explosion, and Rode returned to the material world once again.But the pain did not recede.

Soon, it was as if a giant hammer had struck his nerves, an unimaginable agony tore through his nerves like lightning.

Rode's teeth were almost shattered, the pain nearly causing him to faint.

But he held on.

This was not his first time experiencing all of this.

With superhuman willpower, Rode overcame the intense pain and made a hand gesture again.

But at the moment his soul soared, the intense pain arrived on cue, his soul shattered, and he fell back into the physical world.

In addition to the unprecedented pain, a pervasive numbness rose in his spirit.

His will gradually blurred, darkness gradually enveloped his vision, and life was leaving him.

No!

Rode clenched his teeth and made another hand gesture.

I must survive!

Nothing can stop me!

Not even God!

His soul soared again, and the ensuing intense pain was like a vise severing his nerves, but this time, he stepped back into the dream.

The dream now was devoid of any light, the pervasive aura of decay was everywhere, the obelisk was covered in cracks, a huge fissure ran through its middle.

And the ancient god's attack had not stopped, its massive tentacles hammered the obelisk like a siege hammer, also hammering Rode's nerves.

Without a doubt, if the obelisk was destroyed, he would surely die, and the resurrection stone would probably be useless.

This ancient god was incredibly powerful and strange, he had no chance of winning.

But Rode did not give up, the torture in his soul did not make him collapse again.

He rushed into the cabin and pulled out an item that had been forgotten for a long time from the storage.

[Guardian of the Dark]

Greatly reduces the damage taken by the obelisk, lasts for three sunsets.

Crack.

Rode crushed it.

The next moment, a dark shell covered the entire obelisk.

Boom!

The ancient god's tentacles hit the dark shell, but it didn't budge.

The terrifying pain finally left him, although the torn nerves had not recovered at all, Rode could completely bear this kind of pain.

The ancient god's roar came from the cabin, it seemed very angry that it couldn't destroy the obelisk, it extended more tentacles from the shell and launched a storm-like attack on it.

The intense pain started again, the fierce power penetrated the shell and hit the obelisk.

The cracks on the obelisk began to spread again, small stones fell from the monument.

Without any hesitation, Rode crushed the last [Guardian of the Dark].

A second shell covered the obelisk.

This time, no matter how the ancient god attacked, the obelisk was no longer damaged.

The unwilling roar spread continuously, Rode noticed that the ancient god was being driven away by some invisible force, its huge body was gradually becoming transparent, the more tentacles it extended, the faster it was driven away.

He clenched his fist tightly.

Sure enough, my guess was correct.

The dream, or some other existence, is expelling it!

They have been confronting each other on some invisible level, so this powerful ancient god appeared so slow and sluggish.

The dean was right, he knew I had the "Guardian of the Dark", knew I could hold on until the ancient god was driven away.

Rode sneered.

Unfortunately, Lord Theodore, your wisdom is not enough, you didn't calculate that I forgot about this, and almost died.

Slap slap slap slap!

Rode slapped himself dozens of times.

I'm such a big idiot!

Damn it, I'm so pissed off!

In the continuous roar, the ancient god eventually turned into nothingness and disappeared from the dream.

A faint light finally lit up in the darkness, the obelisk was in a state of disrepair, cracks were everywhere.

Rode took a long breath, indeed, stupidity and weakness are not obstacles to survival.

Arrogance is.

Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise I would have been done for.

Remember in the future, don't be arrogant, be fully prepared for everything, it was Lord Theodore, Green Feather and others who killed the abyssal serpent, I only played a negligible role.

There are countless strange existences in the darkness, if I'm not careful, not to mention the ancient god, a weak monster might make me overturn.

Survival is never a simple matter.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Rode took a deep breath, calming his racing heart.

He came to the "omen side" of the obelisk, the blood-red text on it had not disappeared, only a new line had replaced it.

The ancient god Hraegatos is watching you, the invasion will arrive after thirty-three sunsets.

Damn (the second spark)!
