The Last Dark King

Under Rhine's guidance, Trorian's first high-level ascension ceremony officially began.

Qingyu stood in the center of the ceremony, waiting to be baptized by the spirit.

Rhine stood in the east corner and was the main controller of the ceremony. Rhodes and Percival stood in the southwest corners respectively and were the secondary controllers of the ceremony.

Like the low-level spiritual ascension ceremony, the controller of the high-level spiritual ascension ceremony has a great influence on the actual effect of the ceremony. In Shenglongde, the specific operations are performed by professional priests.

Although Rhine is not a professional ritual priest, he has experienced it many times and has been a deputy, so he has considerable experience in the manipulation of rituals.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, Your Excellency Percival, please pay close attention to every operation of mine."

Rhodes nodded. He and Percival had firmly memorized every key point of the high-level spiritual ascension ritual. It was not much different from the low-level spiritual ascension ritual. I believe that as long as you go through it once or twice, you should be able to master it.

Rhine pointed his finger, and spiritual energy was instantly injected into the ritual. The strong light suddenly ignited, and the magnificent spiritual light rose into the sky, drowning Qingyu.

The light stone, moon spirit gem, pure star source, and pure star marrow began to be liberated at the same time. The power belonging to the sun, moon, and stars began to gather. Through special resonance and under the guidance of the ritual, a spirit of extremely high status was formed. Rush into Qingyu's soul.

This is where the baptism of the soul begins.

The essence of the spirit ascension ceremony is to produce these spirits of extremely high status.

According to Rhine, the essence of human beings is actually spirit. The strength of the spirit determines the upper limit of the soul. Without a strong spirit, there will be no strong soul. This law is valid for all living creatures.

Except for golems and monsters.

The spirit produced in the ceremony is an extremely pure, extremely perfect, and extremely powerful spirit. It is a special spirit generated by the resonance of the soul of the baptized person. It comes from the same source as the soul of the baptized person, but it does not have any will and is blank. Yes, as long as these spirits are absorbed, the potential and potential of the spirit body will be rapidly improved, much faster than through slow cultivation and meditation.

However, in this process, how much Qingyu can stay and how much she can assimilate all depends on her own abilities.

Without enough power, it would not be able to carry out high-level spiritual ascension rituals.

This is very different from the low-level spirit-ascension ceremony. As long as you are willing to pile up resources, even a pig can complete the improved low-level spirit-ascension ceremony, but he is not a true genius and does not have great perseverance, strong will, and extremely Those with high talent and intelligence cannot access high-level spiritual ascension rituals. In fact, in Shenglongde, only one in a million fire bearers can access the spiritual ascension rituals because they do not have low-level spiritual ascension rituals. , for true geniuses, the most difficult stage is the king stage.

Once they cross the chasm between king and half-king, their improvement speed becomes even faster.

Rhine found with some regret that although Qingyu's qualifications are geniuses and he is considered the top genius in all aspects, he is not born of human beings and does not have extraordinary potential or talent. For a king, he can only It's mediocre.

At her current level, she can only perform one high-level spiritual ascension ceremony, right?

Rhine thought.

To complete seven high-level spiritual ascension rituals and reach the peak of half-king, it may take 20 years or more.

The distracting thoughts just passed by in a flash, and Rhine concentrated on the manipulation of the ritual.

Every high-level spiritual ascension ceremony consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the consumption of high-level resources is extremely terrible. In the eyes of Sheng Lund, any omission is a crime against humanity.

Especially at such a critical moment.

With this belief, Rhine performed extremely perfectly this time, condensing the power of the ritual to the maximum extent, obtaining the most spirits, and accurately washing them into Qingyu's soul.

The cooperation between Percival and Rhodes was also quite perfect, so perfect that they didn't look like they were performing a spiritual ascension ceremony for the first time.

An hour later, the ceremony was successfully completed.

This is the most perfect time. If it is too early, there will be omissions and part of the power will be wasted. If it is too late, it means that the ceremony is not going smoothly, and there will be problems with the resonance of the soul and the transformation of the ceremony, which will make the baptized person's Mental fatigue occurs, which greatly reduces efficiency.

Generally speaking, high-level spiritual ascension rituals should be controlled within six hours. If it does not exceed six hours, it will be considered successful.

But in the vast majority of cases, this is difficult to do.

More than 70% of St. Ronde's high-level spiritual ascension ceremonies take about two days, and 20% of them last for more than a week, which is a huge test for both the baptized and the controller.

It was less than half-performed and reached six hours.

And within one hour, only one percent.

Rhine was already prepared for a long-term battle. In the past few days, they took the initiative to trigger several black tide attacks. They did not return until the nearby black mist faded and they were sure that it would be safe in the next few days. Go to the royal city to perform a high-level spiritual ascension ceremony.

But I didn't expect it to be completed in an hour.

With a strong flash of light, the entire high-level spiritual ascension ceremony released the last trace of power and turned into ashes.

The Light Stone, Moon Spirit Gem, Star Source and Star Marrow all evaporated, and the Divine Stone fell into pieces.

In the ashes everywhere, Qingyu slowly stood up.

Powerful power surged in her soul, the ripples of the Sea of ​​Origin surrounded her, and the light of the Holy Fire shone around her, as if celebrating that its resonaters had grown stronger.

"13 fundamental sources!"

Rhine opened his eyes wide and shouted in disbelief.

"Absorbing the power of the high-level spirit-ascension ceremony so quickly proves that your potential far exceeds this stage, and you can immediately perform the next round of high-level spirit-ascension ceremony."

Qingyu looked at her slender hands and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

Rhine didn't feel it was hard at all. He swept away the ashes as quickly as possible and arranged the second round of high-level spiritual ascension ceremony with everyone.

The resources consumed this time are directly doubled, because the resonance between the ritual and the soul is tired. The more times it is performed, the more difficult the resonance becomes. This is why the consumption will double after each round of the ritual.

After the resonance reaches its limit seven times, if the spirit ascension ceremony is performed forcefully, the power of the ceremony cannot be condensed at all, and the degree of resonance is zero. Even if it is forcibly condensed, the spirit has nothing to do with the soul, and forced fusion will only have the opposite effect.

Therefore, high-level spiritual ascension rituals will never accept mediocrity, and human beings with unlimited potential are the best candidates.

Soon, the second round of ceremony arrangements was completed.

But before proceeding, Rhodes suddenly said: "Your Excellency Rhine, I will host this ceremony."

Rhine looked at him in surprise: "Sir Rhodes, are you sure?"

Rhodes nodded: "I'm sure, Lord Lain, I have controlled the low-level spirit-ascension ceremony many times before. There is no essential difference in control between it and the high-level spirit-ascension ceremony. The only difference is that the low-level spirit-ascension ceremony is Purification, while the high-level spiritual ascension ritual is absorption. I have determined the difference between them."

Rhine shook his head: "There must be no mistakes in His Majesty Qingyu's ascension. This is related to the safety of the Holy Fire and Trolian."

Rhodes was already immersed in the manipulation just now and didn't pay special attention to what he said.

"Yes, Your Majesty Lain, you have made small mistakes in your control many times. About 3% of the spirits were lost, and 1% of the spirits failed to touch His Majesty Qingyu's soul. I need to carry out More precise operation ensures 100% effectiveness.”

Rhine's eyes widened, almost suspecting that he heard wrongly.

He thought that his performance was absolutely perfect, and even the chief Ascension Priest of Saint Ronde could not find any faults.

You just read it once and you dare to say that I made a mistake?

Of course, from the perspective of absolute perfection, he is indeed not perfect, but that level only appears in theory. The master of the high-level spiritual ascension ceremony needs to do a lot of things. Even a god cannot improve the efficiency to hundred percent.

Rhine emphasized his tone and asked for the last time: "Sir Rhodes, are you sure?"

Rhodes nodded and came to the east corner without hesitation and stood in the main control position.

Qingyu also didn't hesitate for half a second and walked calmly into the ceremony.

Things had reached this point and it was impossible to change. Rhine and Percival could only go to the southwest corners of the ceremony.

"Qingyu, it's begun." Rhodes said calmly.

Qingyu nodded slightly, closed his eyes and entered meditation.

The next second, the ceremony started, and the aura that soared into the sky once again enveloped Trorian.

Incomparably pure spirits gathered from all directions and flew towards Qingyu's soul.

As soon as the ceremony began, Rhine noticed a difference.

The whole process is too smooth, too silky, like clouds and flowing water, as if this is the truth of the operation of the universe, the trajectory that has existed since the beginning of the world.

This, how is this possible?

Rhine's eyes widened. He knew the master's operation very well. He could tell the quality of a master at a glance, and Rhode's operation could definitely be regarded as the top spiritual priest.

No, more than that.

He had only seen this composure, this momentum, this calmness in the midst of thousands of thoughts, in one person.

The once top spiritual ascension priest was also the strongest among Saint Lund, except for the Holy Emperor of Fire——

The end of all things, Soros.

He is the only person who has achieved 100% spiritual ascension efficiency, but since he stepped into the origin, he has not presided over a spiritual ascension ceremony for a long time.

How can this be?

Rhine couldn't believe it. Spiritual rituals were full of accidents and randomness. Unless someone could predict the future, it would be impossible to do it 100%.

Soros can do this because he can briefly foresee the future. The response speed of this ability is so fast that it even exceeds that of Prophecy City.

Of course, as the eyes of Saint Ronde, Prophecy City does not pursue the speed of prophecy. Even if the power of the entire Prophecy City is used to perform a spiritual ascension ceremony, it cannot achieve 100%.

But, how did Rhodes do it? Does he have prophecy?

Rhine couldn't think of his sister, which could only be attributed to Rhodes' super powerful and unlimited triggering inspiration.

He didn't dare to ask questions for fear of disturbing Rhodes. If his inspiration was interrupted, things would be terrible.

But he didn't expect that Rhodes wouldn't be too relaxed.

There is almost no difference between the operation of high-level spiritual ascension rituals and low-level spiritual ascension rituals. The only difference is the last step, which is not difficult for him.

More importantly, the Book of the Future woke up.

It swallowed a dozen pieces of destiny energy in one breath, and the destiny power it controlled stepped up several steps in one breath. According to its words, it was already more powerful than the previous Book of Destiny period.

It happened that Rhodes was going to perform the spiritual ascension ceremony, and the Book of the Future couldn't wait to try this new power.

Sure enough, under the guidance of its prophecy, Rhodes' control reached an absolutely perfect level. Every bit of ritual power was accurately condensed into Qingyu's spirit, and every bit of spirit was accurately sent into Qingyu. In Yu's soul.

The effect of the entire ceremony has reached unprecedented heights.

If it weren't for Qingyu's condition, he could have completed the ritual in half an hour.

Qingyu's condition was also surprisingly good. After the ceremony was completed, Rhine found in disbelief that the strength of her source law had increased to 17 fundamental sources, which was even higher than the previous round of spirit ascension ceremony. many.

"How can this be?"

Rhine shouted in shock.

"The higher the root source, the harder it is to obtain. You should only be able to obtain 2 copies in the second round. How can there be so many?"

Qingyu glanced at Rhodes, a wave of water clearly flashed in his bright eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his beautiful cheeks: "Perhaps, Rhodes' hosting has made me in a better state. ”

Rhine looked like he was about to be struck by lightning, and shouted: "How is this possible? An absolutely perfect ascension ceremony, an absolutely perfect baptized person, this is impossible, and, and, why do you do it again? Directly absorbing the power of the Spirit Ascension Ceremony? Could it be that..."

The huge shock made his soul numb, and he suddenly realized that the whole thing was completely beyond his imagination.

Rhodes smiled and said: "Qingyu, your potential is beyond imagination."

Qingyu pondered: "Perhaps it was the companion of fire that gave me the extra blessing, and the power of love that gave me a new life."

This sentence was so disgusting that even an old man like Rhodes couldn't bear it, and Rhine was so embarrassed that he forgot to be shocked.

Under this circumstance, preparations for the third round of high-level spiritual ascension ceremony also began.

It has to be said that at this level, the consumption of resources has exceeded imagination. 8 Light Stones, Moon Spirit Gemstones, Star Source, Star Marrow and Divine Stones are already considered a large amount.

"Can this round be so perfect?"

Before the ceremony began, Rhine thought silently: "Whether it's a coincidence or not depends on the outcome of this round."

An hour later, another absolutely perfect spiritual ascension ceremony was born in front of Rhine's eyes, which almost made him go crazy.

However, high-stage source resistance also appeared. Even under absolutely perfect conditions, Qingyu only improved by 2 copies of the source, reaching 19 copies of the source.

"No, that's impossible!"

This phenomenon shocked Rhine extremely. In Holy Lund, except for the Holy Emperor of Fire, no one can perform more than three rounds of high-level spiritual ascension rituals in one go. They need a long period of precipitation to digest this potential and transform it into reality. Only after a long period of practice can one reach the level of performing the next spiritual ascension ceremony.

"Your Majesty Qingyu, it's impossible, how is this possible..."

He repeated these words in a murmur, as if he had lost control of his mind.

And Rhodes had discovered the reason. He vaguely noticed that the king's power spread from the holy fire and blessed Qingyu's soul.

At this moment, Qingyu was not alone.

Behind her stood the greatest king in Trolian history.

So, what happened next completely shattered Rhine's outlook on life.

Under the auspices of Rhodes, Qingyu directly completed the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds of spiritual ascension rituals, controlled 25 fundamental sources, and stepped into the peak of half-king in one breath. He was only one step away from the strong man at the beginning. Just one step away.
