CHAPTER 1037: CHAPTER 537: SALVATION

In the illusory night sky, the moon appeared once more, and the black moonfire dyed it black at an even faster pace.

The half-black moon appeared terrifying and eerie, emanating an aura of decay and distortion.

If it takes shape, the Black Moon will appear in the night sky of the Material World, and Trolian will usher in a great disaster.

Everyone despaired, the strongest had betrayed them, the greatest hope extinguished, and they no longer had any chance of turning the tide.

However, at this darkest moment, Rod’s body gradually disappeared.

Like a phantom, it first became transparent, then dissipated into the air, without a trace.

The low laughter abruptly stopped, and Olivia, shrouded in black gas, incredulously looked at her right hand.

Just a moment ago, she was holding that corpse.

And now, she only grasped air.

"What... why, his existence disappeared? No wonder..."

Hope surged instantly in Ye Feng’s heart, and he shouted, "Not dead, Rod isn’t dead! He’s still alive, he will come back!"

There was a commotion among the scholars.

Infinite resurrection was something unimaginable for everyone.

"Look!"

Suddenly, a scholar shouted frantically.

"What is that?"

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a human figure gradually appearing in the air.

It was as if he had always been hidden there, until now, the air that concealed him slowly dispersed.

"It’s Rod!"

"It’s him!"

A frenzy of shouts and cheers erupted among the crowd.

Everyone believed they were witnessing a miracle, a great epic that was said not to exist unfolding before their eyes.

The moment he stood up, everyone thought they saw the descent of a god.

Thus, the moment Rod opened his eyes, dozens of golden lines of text floated before him.

Flower of Humanity +1

Flower of Humanity +1

...

Flowers of Humanity!

Rod’s eyes widened.

This was no small number; the total Flowers of Humanity he had accumulated until now had not exceeded three digits.

Due to excessive use, his stock had been in urgent need.

Getting 16 at once had already doubled his inventory!

In a blink, Rod knew why.

This was indeed an unexpected delight; during his second return, he set the resurrection point of the Resurrection Stone at the original location, just to return to the battlefield more quickly, never expecting this kind of gain.

But this was just a minor interlude; the most important thing was how to get through the current crisis.

Rod thought for a moment, and an envelop drape covered him, Twelth Level Spiritual Energy surged over his body.

Although not strong on this battlefield, he still had the strength to fight.

More importantly, he had yet to use his trump card, and even now, with the situation critical, he had a way to win.

Rod glanced at the Cold Ice in midair; its cracks no longer growing. Mephit had recovered, arms outstretched, fully maintaining the sealing of Cold Ice on the Space, preventing the King of the Deep Sea from arriving.

Thankfully, there was her.

Rod thought, otherwise, we would have been finished long ago.

Before him, Olivia’s figure was completely shrouded in shadow, her twisted features only an outline, eyes entirely blackened.

This thing must be Amon.

Rod thought.

He personally entered the fray, giving us a chance.

As long as he can be defeated here, the biggest malignancy within humanity can be exposed.

"Hehehe."

The shadow emitted a twisted, inhuman voice.

"The fourth resurrection, I underestimated you, but this forbidden power is ultimately limited. How many more times can you resurrect?"

Before the words were finished, the shadow shot through the air, his right hand piercing Rod’s chest, smashing his heart.

Rod reacted too slowly, unable to parry a single strike, but he had long foreseen this, having already prepared the Resurrection Stone.

The Resurrection Stone’s materials were trivial to Rod now, the main consumption being 10 points of Divinity and 1 Flower of Humanity.

Rod’s current Divinity was enough to craft over a hundred, the primary limitation was the Flower of Humanity; he had just obtained 16 Flowers, adding to the previous stock of 18, allowing for at least 34 more resurrections!

If he could acquire more Flowers of Humanity during the process, his resurrections would be limitless.

However, no matter how many times he could resurrect, simply being killed would be of no use.

So, Rod hadn’t even considered defense. The shadow moved, and he focused all Spiritual Energy on a fierce forward strike, simultaneously activating [Truth]!

Divine Strike!

Boom!

As his heart was pierced, the shadow was struck by Rod as well.

times the critical hit, even a Commander couldn’t ignore it.

The shadow quivered, took a step back, the area hit noticeably dimmed in black gas.

Rod fell to the ground once more.

But as before, his body gradually faded, quickly disappearing into air.

In a corner, Rod’s figure once again emerged in the air.

Cheers instantly resounded across the field.

Barrett and Ye Feng both had tears in their eyes, and Professor Bins’s face full of wrinkles stretched open, looking at Rod as if he were a treasure.

Rod harvested another 3 Flowers of Humanity.

Meanwhile, star lines shot from his hands, forming a suit of shining silver armor, and a silver longsword appeared in his right hand.

The next moment, his chest was pierced once again, the armor formed by the Star Line only blocked for half a second.

Yet Rod’s longsword also pierced the shadow, the Divine Strike combined with the power of the Star Longsword was much more potent than his bare hands.

The shadow stepped back, his gloomy eyes looked incredulously at Rod’s corpse disappearing once more.
