But it did not disappear, instead, it accelerated towards the Dream Realm.
The Book of Knowledge yelled, "Not good! The Nightmare Master has sensed our presence, its strength far exceeds my expectations! Master, quick, the second shot, the current Dream Realm cannot withstand its invasion!"
Chills ran down Rod’s spine as his gaze locked onto the spot of light, and he once again lashed out with his will’s tendril, sending another grain of light rocketing through the air.
The impact was silent, but he added a sound in his mind.
The spot of light once again burst into a bright glare, gray-white remnants scattering in all directions but then vanishing from sight in an instant.
The spot of light was still not destroyed and accelerated once more.
The Book of Knowledge shouted, "Once more!"
The third Spirit Realm Strike was unleashed, and the grain of light struck the Nightmare Master again, blasting out a large cloud of white stardust.
This strike was very heavy, but still did not destroy the Nightmare Master.
The Book of Knowledge exclaimed, "Oh no! It’s instantaneously crossed the spatial barriers, it has already reached the higher levels of the Spirit Realm, right beneath us, quick, the fourth Spirit Realm Strike!"
The details of the spot of light now visible in his view, the Nightmare Master was rapidly moving towards them.
Rod felt unparalleled calm, his concentration at its peak, as he steadily unleashed the fourth grain of light, meeting the oncoming former ruler head-on.
Uncharacteristically, the flash twinkled twice, and when it settled, the spot of light had shattered into pieces, transforming into countless stars falling within the Spirit Realm.
The next instant, a black glow flickered past Rod’s eyes.
[Nightmare Master Latotip’s Soul]
[This is the origin of the Nightmare, one of the most complete and ancient powerful beings, they are always seeking a union beyond themselves, their beginning as well as their end.]
Rod was stunned for several seconds before he felt a huge surge of euphoria.
He exited the control state and looked at the Book of Knowledge in his hand.
It looked as though it was petrified mid-air, and after a good while, it managed to utter a few words.
Rod laughed and said, "It did!"
The Book of Knowledge suddenly came to its senses, flipping through the pages frantically, its elation evident.
"Hahaha, we’ve killed the Nightmare Master!"
"5 Sources, plus the previous 3, Wind’s Phantom’s Sources are complete! We’ve even got an extra one!"
"Now, we only need 7 Great Souls, 700 million souls, 7 pieces of Soul Firewood to have a completely developed powerful Great Star!"
Rod, dissatisfied, slapped it lightly, "Hey, hey, hey, don’t give away the exact numbers, it takes away from the joy."
The Book of Knowledge also realized that these numbers might not be that easy to achieve, it quickly changed the subject, sprinted to Star Square, and saw the row of numbers twinkling with golden light, then fading into the dense fog.
"Hahaha, 30 points of divinity in hand, we used only 10 points of divinity to obtain such a powerful soul!"
Rod followed behind and couldn’t help but joke, "It’s not in hand yet, how long until the Moment of Starshine?"
"Uh... about six to seven weeks, it’s soon, you better hurry up, the more divinity, the better!"
Rod nodded, "I know."
The Book of Knowledge suddenly realized something, its handwriting becoming urgent, "We’ve run out of divinity!"
Looking at the Obelisk, the divinity face was now completely empty, not a drop left.
"An invasion! What about the invasion? There are only eight days left!"
The Book of Knowledge flipped madly through its pages, the text moving too fast for anyone with subpar dynamic vision to read.
"This is bad, without divinity, our power is greatly reduced, what will we do when the Nightmare arrives... you need to get me some souls! I need to repair the defenses of the Dream Realm!"
"My whole plan is messed up, it’s infuriating!"
Rod also realized, though he had achieved a long-term goal, the immediate crisis had become more severe.
He had to leave at once to hunt monsters.
With a thought, Rod returned to the Material World, and opened his eyes.
At the same time, the King also opened his eyes.
