Chapter 533 Chapter 533 – Black King

“H-How is this possible?” Many people looked at this scene with disbelief and shock in their hearts on the ground. That’s the Black King? How can the Black King’s corpse be revived?”

The powerhouses looked and felt the aura coming from the sky. Their faces were filled with shock as if they had not expected this outcome, which in reality, no one had expected this.

The long azure spear was about to pierce Philip’s body, but it was blocked at the crucial moment. The person who blocked this attack was not someone else, but the Black King’s corpse. What was going on? “The Black King’s corpse?” Outside of the star, the Blue Knight looked at the scene and was a little surprised. “Is it a corpse? Or is there something else going on?” He frowned and was a little confused.

Among the Kings, the Black King was indeed a very mysterious one. Even his death was the same. The Black King did not die of old age, nor did he die in battle like the other Kings. There was still no clear explanation of the cause of the Black King’s death until now.

Even the Blue Knight, who had existed for a long time, was unclear about this past. And now, the Black King’s corpse’s movement seemed to have increased its mystery, making its death more confusing.

In the air, the Blue Knight frowned, then looked at Philip and asked, “How did you do

it?”

Apparently, the change in the Black King’s corpse was related to Philip. Otherwise, why did the Black King’s corpse revive at this crucial moment? The Blue Knight understood this, so he asked Philip.

“He wasn’t dead, to begin with…” Philip answered the Blue Knight’s question faintly, “His body contains the mark from before. He didn’t completely lose his vitality with his death. He has always existed, just that he was in a unique state in the past, so he couldn’t recover on his own. So, I just helped him.” Philip’s voice sounded calm and soft.

Philip had already discovered long ago that the Black King’s corpse was in an extraordinary state. This corpse was not wholly dead. There were still fragments of the true spirit and other things in it. Of course, these alone were not sufficient to conclude that he was alive. The power in this corpse had already been exhausted over a long period. The remaining true spirit was also excessively damaged, and only a little instinct was left.

Under normal circumstances, this was a mere corpse, and nothing could be changed. Hence, Philip helped him by transferring the Power of Origin extracted from the Black King’s sacrificial ceremony into the Black King’s corpse, helping it recover its strength and not be as lonely as before. Finally, he communicated with the true spirit power contained in the corpse and activated it.

Everything that followed was logical. Protecting the Hechi Star was the Black King’s initial idea. This was once the Black King’s hometown, land, and territory. This was the place that he had protected for a long time.

As the Black King’s instinct was awakened, it drove him to protect this star and make an enemy of the Blue Knight, who wanted to destroy it instead. This could be one of the Black King’s obsessions, and Philip activated it to a certain extent. The mighty King’s aura emitted and rippled in all directions as if it wanted to shake the entire Hechi Star area.

This terrifying power and aura that once belonged to the Black King were displayed again upon his revival. As if sensing the Black King’s aura, the originally flickering runes around the Hechi Star became even more spooky. The power within them combined with the Black King’s power spontaneously, erupting with even more terrifying power. The entire Hechi star seemed to have returned to the past for a moment. The King was protecting this Star from above. Under the King, all external enemies could not enter and invade this place.

Outside the star, the Blue Knight’s expression was somewhat unsightly looking at the resplendent scene before him. The moment the Black King’s corpse recovered, a bad premonition arose in his heart. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case. The power in his body was still there, but it had begun to weaken, gradually fading after the attack just now.

It was very normal. At this moment, his power did not originate from himself but from others. This power would quickly dissipate along with the battle. To a certain extent, that attack just now was the strongest attack that he could unleash. After that, his power would become weaker until he returned to his original level.

With this degree of power, it was too difficult to suppress this star before him. At this moment, there were already many terrifying figures gathered on this star. For instance, Chen Heng, who had the talent of a King and was able to fight against the Five Knights, had once defeated the Crimson Knight’s clone.

The mysterious Philip, known as the Red Lotus King and had inherited the Black King’s inheritance, was not inferior to the Five Knights at their peaks. Lu Yao, who had inherited the power of the Golden King and possessed the Golden Power, was able to unleash the King’s power at critical moments. The Black King’s corpse had also just recovered and did not have much self-awareness but could easily block his attack.

Usually, even if one of these four existences were to be taken out alone, each would probably still be an extraordinary existence. Yet, now, they were all gathered on this planet.

The Blue Knight’s expression turned a little sour. Even though he was not very willing, he had to admit that it was already an almost impossible task for him to take down this planet with the power of these four existences. The revived Black King’s corpse alone was not something he could easily take down, not to mention the other three existences. Philip and the others were eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey.

After thinking for a moment, his expression turned sour, but he made up his mind in the end.

“So many powerhouses gathered on such a small Hechi Star…” In the galaxy, the Blue Knight looked at the familiar Hechi Star and could not help but sigh deeply. Then, he said, “This time, I lost. But it might not be like this the next time.” His eyes were exceptionally cold.

Chen Heng and the others have the advantage in numbers. But the next time would not be the same. Furthermore, the Blue Knight was not alone either. There were five Knights in total, and each of them was a top-notch powerhouse in this world. Next time, if the five powerful Knights attacked concurrently, Chen Heng and the others would not be able to escape no matter what.

At this moment, the Blue Knight was already determined to kill them, just that the lineup before him was too terrifying. Among the four people before him, Philip, who was known as the King of the Red Lotus, and the corpse of the Black King who had awakened, had strength comparable to the Five Knights. Even the Blue Knight himself was not confident that he could win against one of them alone.

As for Chen Heng and Lu Yao, one had the talent of a King and had reached this level at such a young age. At the same time, the other had inherited the power and inheritance of the Golden King. And both of them hoped to reach the King’s Domain in the future.

Each of the four existences was a considerable threat. If they were allowed to live continuously, it would undoubtedly be bad news for the rulers of the Round Table.

Therefore, the Blue Knight made up his mind. After he left this time and returned to the base camp, he would gather the other Knights to suppress Chen Heng and the others. Otherwise, there would be considerable trouble in the future. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and the killing intent in his mind was unprecedentedly strong.

“Maybe.” Philip’s voice came from the front. The dense runes around the Hechi Star flickered. Philip was among them, and his expression was calm. He looked at the Blue Knight in the distance and said indifferently, “I hope that next time, you won’t be defeated like this.” As his indifferent words fell, his voice was very soft, but to the others, it sounded like the sound of thunder, shaking and making people terrified. Hearing Philip’s words, the Blue Knight’s expression changed, and he let out a cold snort. He didn’t continue speaking, but instead, he turned around and left this area speedily. And within a short period, he disappeared from everyone’s sight and rushed into the galaxy.

‘From the looks of it, he left.’ Philip thought as he looked at the distant figure of the Blue Knight.

After going through a series of twists and turns, the Blue Knight had left this place. His departure also represented the end of this battle. The disaster of Hechi Star had already passed. Who knew how many people felt relieved in the entire Hechi Star at this moment.

Many people were cheering on the vast field, celebrating the past of the disaster, and they were also happy that they were still alive. The disaster was over, and there was a new life. Countless people started to celebrate and cheer, preparing for the upcoming celebration. Around the world, many people remember the images of Philip and Chen Heng. They recognized the two heroic figures who had stood up before the disaster, and they were prepared to erect statues for them in the future. Philip and Chen Heng were commemorated as the heroes of Hechi Star. To a certain extent, as the heroes who had saved Hechi Star from the disaster, they had the right to be commemorated. They were worthy of being remembered forever until the end of the future.

“It’s over…” Under the Golden Dragon Tree, Malikado held Gunali in his arms. As he felt the Blue Knight’s aura fade, he could not help but smile.

The scenes just now were undoubtedly a little exciting for the people of the entire Hechi Star. Before this, Malikado had thought that he was going to die here. He and the whole Hechi Star would have turned into dust in the galaxy, falling into an eternal slumber.

However, the final reality was not like this. He was still alive, and his daughter in his arms was still alive too. She was still in a deep sleep and not affected. As if feeling the joy of Malikado, Gunali’s eyes moved slightly, and she slowly woke up in Malikado’s arms.

“Father…” Gunali was a little dazed after waking up, as if she was still not fully awake, “Is it morning?”

Malikado smiled, listening to her words. Then, he touched her head, “Yes, it’s already morning.” He said as he looked at the reflection in the sky in the distance that still had some influence and other things, and could not help but chuckle softly before.

No matter what, this disaster had already passed. For ordinary people, they could indeed heave a sigh of relief.

Philip’s figure turned into an illusion in mid-air and disappeared from that place. Then, he reappeared in the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters. Keo and Talilo were still standing there. When they looked at Philip, who had suddenly appeared in front of them, their gazes were exceptionally fiery. They had been the same in the past. However, they felt far from being as fiery and intense as now. That kind of worship and admiration seemed to be evolving, and it was evident. Philip’s previous performance was displayed before their eyes from the beginning to the end.

In their eyes, Philip was already on par with the Blue Knight or even the King. This was a person comparable to a King, and he was their leader at this moment. As they thought of this, their hearts couldn’t help but become excited, and their gazes couldn’t help but become fiery hot.

However, Philip’s expression towards this was very calm. From a very long time ago, he had changed into the appearance before his eyes. No matter how the people around looked at him, he was indifferent and calm. He was not shocked by honor or disgrace and appeared very calm.

In the past, although Chen Heng’s personality was somewhat similar, it was not to this extent. However, when it came to Philip because he had been in contact with the ancient of the initial gate for many years, the emotional fluctuations in Philip’s body had long disappeared. He was only left with pure sanity.

In reality, if it weren’t because of Chen Heng, who was in his original body and could influence Philip and indirectly control Philip’s actions, Philip would probably not have cared about anything at all. He would not have made a move and would only watch indifferently even if Hechi Star had been destroyed.

It was just the same at this moment. Ignoring the fiery gazes of Keo and Tarilo, Philip walked into his laboratory and stayed there alone. Before he knew it, another figure appeared before Philip. It was an old man in a black robe. His body was skinny, and one of his arms had been pierced by the long azure spear and was not fully healed yet.

He stood before Philip alone with an indifferent expression, looking at Philip as if he was expressing something.

“You’re here.” Philip was not surprised by the old man’s arrival and nodded and said, “It seems that you’ve regained some of your consciousness.”

“Only a part of it.” The old man spoke after listening to Philip’s words. His voice was as hoarse as a dumbbell, making people feel that it was very unpleasant to hear.

Standing before Philip, the Black King spoke with no emotions in his voice, but there was an accurate expression, “It was your power that awakened me…”

“To be precise, it wasn’t my power, but the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony…” Philip turned around and looked at the Black King and said, “Did you purposely leave behind the Black King’s ritual back then to revive once more?”

Philip had already discovered something after what had happened before. The Secret Manual of the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony had an extraordinary relationship with the Black King. The Power of Origin refined from the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony had an extraordinary effect on the Black King and could even temporarily revive him.

From this point of view, the original purpose of the Secret Manual of theBlack King’s Sacrificial Ceremony was probably to worship and revive the Black King.

“Yes.” Hearing Philip’s words, the Black King nodded and said, “Back then, I fell. So I wanted to use this to revive…”

He recounted his own story. In the beginning, he was a little slow, and his words were not clear, but he became more fluent later on.

Long before the Black King fell, he had already predicted his future outcome, so he had started to prepare early. He had left behind the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony and handed it to his many followers. His original intention was to let his followers perform a sacrificial ceremony for him and supply him with the Power of Origin so that the Black King’s main body could revive and wake up again.

The Black King had been specially arranged the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony himself. As long as he came in contact with enough Power of Origin, the Black King’s incomplete true spirit would be able to receive nourishment. Then, with this corpse as the foundation, he would be reborn once again. However, in the end, something unexpected happened. His followers did not follow the plan that they had previously instructed. As a result, the Black King’s corpse had remained silent in the Hechi Star for many years. Only now was it found.

“I’m afraid it was done by the Five Knights of the Round Table.” Listening to the Black King’s story, Philip said softly, “After you fell, the power of the Round Table once expanded to this place.”

He remembered Tarilo’s story. Tarilo’s ancestor was one of the followers of the Black King, guarding the secret treasure left behind by the Black King. However, for some unknown reason, the wealth was leaked. The Blue Knight immediately rushed over and wiped out Tarilo’s family, taking the secret treasure away. Similarly, after the appearance of the Evil King, the Blue Knight immediately rushed over, wanting to suppress him. From this, it could be seen how the Five Knights of the Round Table treated the Black King.

It was enough to prove something with these examples and Philip’s other clues. The Five Knights most likely suppressed the followers that the Black King left behind. As a result, the Black King’s plan could not be carried out. Even the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony disappeared in the ruins and was buried. Only now, by chance, did the Black King revive and come back to this world.
