CHAPTER 1161: CHAPTER 595: FRENZIED BATTLE

There was no change in the passageway, where four high-rank investigators were sitting quietly on the ground, attempting to regain some Spiritual Energy.

It seemed that not much time had passed in the Dream Realm.

Rod stood up, unprecedentedly powerful Spiritual Energy surged within his soul, that kind of force rushing like a vast river made him clearly feel that his Spiritual Energy had reached level 14.

However, there was not a spark of Spiritual Energy on his body.

This was different from every previous advancement.

"Is this the power of the ’Song of Life’?"

Rod clenched his fists, sensing the enormous capacity within his body.

Even though the soul could not fully control such a degree of ultra-strong Spiritual Energy, there was no sign of leakage.

"I am no longer who I used to be!"

An unprecedented thought flashed through his mind, Rod glanced at the Obelisk within the Dream Realm, and saw the numbers had changed to:

Soul Strength: 101,176,000

Soul Star: 15

Humanity: 16.11 million

Divinity: 114

Soul Without Spirit: 500 million

Inside the monument: 3 pieces of Source

Soul Altar: None

Spirituality: 1.33 million

Source Energy: 37

Storage: 9.11 million pieces of Soul Residue, 4 Flowers of Humanity, 2,175 various Soul Trait Blocks, 102 Nightmare Material, etc.

Special Items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Stone of Chaos, 2 Colorful Dreams

Source Material: Dark Abyss, Extreme Abyss Gas, Abyssal Fragment

——

Ah.

If I haven’t miscalculated, my current Spiritual Power Strength has exceeded 200,000 kerricks.

And the standard for level 14 Spiritual Energy is 140,000, with perfect Spiritual Energy balance only requiring 130,000.

200,000 kerricks of Spiritual Power Strength vastly exceeds this threshold.

He’s not a newly promoted Commander but rather a Commander with some foundation!

Rod’s thoughts were instantly firmed.

"Sir 0..."

Not far away, Liszt suddenly turned his head, looking at Rod with uncertainty and suspicion.

"Your... Your Excellency?"

Rod calmly asked, "How much has the pyramid recovered? How much longer until the Black Fog retreats?"

Liszt widened his eyes, he vaguely sensed something had changed in Rod, but wasn’t sure where the change was.

He stood there, as if he was an ancient existence, even the ancient Divine Tower was not as ancient as he.

"Uh, uh... The pyramid, I sensed it slowing down, some structure is being corrected, the Black Fog should soon retreat... It’s truly unbelievable that some unusual relic could affect the Black Fog!"

Liszt’s eyes were filled with incredulity.

Since earlier, he had been sensing the changes in the pyramid and Divine Tower.

In his understanding, nothing could affect the Black Fog except fire, yet the existence of the pyramid completely broke this assumption, it was the main cause of the Black Fog Wall formation.

Liszt could clearly sense, as the pyramid rotated, the Black Fog also changed, that dull roaring sound was like the roar from the Abyss, he would never forget it for a lifetime.

Rod glanced at both sides of the passageway, the thick and viscous Black Fog rolled at the entrance of the 20th floor and the exit of the 19th floor, like there was an invisible barrier isolating it.

Liszt saw Rod’s gaze and explained, "The passageway and Divine Tower do not belong to the same space, it’s like they were added later... This blasphemous Ancient God’s Divine Tower is truly incredible!"

Number 7 said, "Let’s leave as soon as the Black Fog recedes! Once fully prepared, we can explore here again!"

Number 9 also said, "The heavy Black Fog will affect the effectiveness of the teleportation beacon; Lord Rod shouldn’t use the beacon, can we return the way we came?"

"Yes."

Number 7 shook his big beard, urgently said, "The only obstacle is the oversensitive monsters outside, but since we’re retreating, we just have to run, they won’t catch us."

Number 19 said, "But if we do so, won’t all our efforts be in vain?"

Number 7 frowned and said, "Number 19, are you crazy? The Great Demon God is the hardest Black Fog Symbiont to deal with, we need at least two Special Level combat powers to confront..."

"But maybe, we can find a way not to trigger the guards’ alarm..."

Number 7’s beard puffed up in anger, "That’s impossible! The Great Demon God is hovering at the top of the Divine Tower, can you ensure it won’t come down? Even if you don’t touch that door, the inner mechanisms of the pyramid are numerous, can you guarantee every choice is correct?"

"Enough!"

Rod raised his hand, stopping their bickering.

"We can try one more time, I will go alone this time."

At this moment, the Black Fog on the 19th floor receded, and soon the Black Fog on the 20th floor also began to rise.

"Wait for me here, I’ll be right back."

Rod massaged his shoulders, stepping out boldly.

Number 7 shouted in disbelief, "You can’t take the risk!"

But Rod had already walked out of the passageway, back into the twentieth floor.

Number 7 and Number 9 turned to Liszt for help, who hurriedly followed, shouting, "Sir 0, you can’t..."

Rumble!

The 200,000 kerricks Spiritual Power Burst out, akin to a catastrophic upheaval, its overwhelming Spiritual Power Wave directly blew Liszt back into the passageway, and the terrifying Spiritual Pressure made all four unable to breathe, as if suffocating.

Their eyes widened, witnessing an unbelievable existence.
