I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1085 - Chapter 1085 Chapter 1087 Fifth-Level City_1

Chapter 1085: Chapter 1087: Fifth-Level City_1 Chapter 1085: Chapter 1087: Fifth-Level City_1 Once the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation took shape, it formed an impenetrable barrier of Qi on the outside, and unless one possessed the power to break the formation, the monsters inside could not harm Song Jian who was far away.

“They’re both already dead…” Song Jian said coolly.

The robot Nafiboja’s two eyes were flashing crazily. Based on its previous observations, the Thousand Swords Art could not possibly possess the power to eliminate two level-80 Sovereign Bosses. However, Song Jian’s conviction showed that the effects of the Thousand Swords Art were not fully grasped by it.

“The probability of the Thousand Swords Art having subsequent evolutions has increased to 99.78%…” The robot Nafiboja saw a line of blood-red text before its eyes: “With a field effect and a suction effect, the probability of breaking the defensive armor on my body has increased to 76.90%, danger level… S-class!”

The Thousand Swords Art continued to evolve in various forms. After Karmic Fire Red Lotus, there was the Red Lotus Sword and Sword Qi Palm Imprint. The two massive magma beasts struggled frantically and kept launching attacks on the sword formation, causing huge resonance back and forth in the cavern, and their Vitality Points plummeted sharply. In front of the Red Lotus Sword Array, these two Sovereign Bosses were like insects trapped in a spider web, the more they struggled, the tighter the web’s hold on them became.

Soon, the Sword Qi Palm Imprint pressed down hard on the two magma beasts with a “boom”, and the lava boiled, the entire cavern shaking violently. Several huge lava columns shattered, with massive rocks tumbling down into the lava.

The Sword Qi Palm Imprint gradually faded away, and the two magma beasts were not killed. Their Vitality Points had dropped below one-third, and they were covered in massive sword wounds; the magma flowed like blood, rolling down. At this point, the surging magma could no longer cover their bodies, spewing out constantly.

As the two magma beasts struggled to stand, the Sword Qi Stone Tower above their heads began to condense again, the immense pressure eliciting desperate roars from the beasts.

“As expected, there’s a subsequent evolution…” The robot Nafiboja’s face showed no emotion, but its flickering eyes meticulously recorded everything it observed.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the Sword Qi Stone Tower pressed down on the two beasts mercilessly. Rocks rolled down, and Song Jian instantly received two system notifications.

System: You have killed a level-80 Sovereign Boss Magma Beast, receiving 53,603,000 Experience Points;

…

The two level-80 Sovereign Bosses had given more than ten million Experience Points, bringing Song Jian a step closer to level 53, but a look of disappointment crossed his face. The Magma Beasts had over a million Vitality Points left when the Sword Qi Stone Tower crushed them, not even allowing for the chance to be trapped; otherwise, Song Jian’s mastery of the Thousand Swords Art would have surely increased significantly.

“Let’s go!” Looking at the slowly dissipating Sword Qi Stone Tower, Song Jian said indifferently to the robot Nafiboja and took the lead towards the bodies of the magma beasts.

The massive body of the Magma Beasts burned with raging flames, and huge rocks lay scattered all around, with a pile of different colored loot surrounded by the stones.

Song Jian swept a glance over the spoils of war and couldn’t help but sigh. None of the items emitted a purple-red glow, indicating that his luck seemed to be getting worse. Having slain two Sovereign-level BOSSes, it was disappointing not to see a single piece of epic equipment drop. Could it be that the system, seeing how easily he could take down Sovereign-level BOSSes, deliberately lowered the drop rate for epic equipment?

Among the loot from the two BOSSes were three pieces of dark gold equipment which caught Song Jian’s eye. Two were plate armors for warriors, and one was cloth armor for mages, none of which he could use. Moreover, they required level eighty or above to equip, so he could only toss them into the guild warehouse, knowing it would likely be a long time before anyone redeemed them.

What remained were some precious materials. Song Jian picked up a stone that radiated a golden light and inspected it closely, only to discover it was a Magma Crystal Core meant for earth elemental pets. A smile spread across his face.

The Magma Crystal Core was an excellent item. Song Jian had come across it before, but those were only of blue quality. Now that he had found a gold-quality Magma Crystal Core, he naturally wouldn’t let it go to waste. Opening the Pet Space, he gave all five gold-quality Magma Crystal Cores dropped by the two BOSSes to Gulu, his pet in the Pet Space.

Watching Gulu circle around the cores eagerly as if it wanted to gobble them up in one go yet seeming afraid of burning its mouth, an amusing expression of impatience on its face, Song Jian couldn’t help but laugh.

These were Crystal Cores from an eighty-level Sovereign BOSS and Gulu was only at level fifty; it would take a long time to digest them. However, Gulu could no longer participate in Song Jian’s battles due to the level disparity, so even if it took a while to digest these cores in the Pet Space, it wouldn’t matter.

Closing the Pet Space interface, Song Jian picked up the rest of the dropped loot and said to the robot Nafiboya, “Let’s keep going. We should be getting close to the edge of the area, right?”

“According to the map, it’s still over a hundred kilometers away. At our current pace, we should leave the volcanic region the day after tomorrow around this time…” Nafiboya said in a low voice.

Song Jian nodded slightly and continued through the lava tunnels, moving onward.

The underground lava tunnels crisscrossed in all directions, spreading across the whole volcanic region. If it weren’t for Nafiboya guiding the way, Song Jian would have been utterly lost, as the tunnels were like an intricate spider’s web filled with Elite-level lava beasts. These creatures were much smaller than the lava giants, standing just over a meter tall, and were weaker, possessing the strength of only a seventieth-level Elite BOSS. However, they were numerous; sometimes an entire passage was filled with such monsters, and even with the Concealment Necklace, it was impossible to pass without a direct confrontation. Song Jian had no choice but to fight his way through the hordes, killing them off one by one to clear the passage.

After hours of traversing the underground passageways, Song Jian had lost interest in killing these monsters. He would take detours whenever possible to avoid head-on conflicts with the local creatures. However, due to the presence of Nafiboya, the monsters would charge at her like mad the moment she entered their range, forcing Song Jian to exterminate them all.

Song Jian’s level soon rose another level, reaching level fifty-three. The sheer number of monsters in the tunnels and their high levels provided him with an abundance of combat experience. He allocated the newly acquired skill point into Sword Flight Art, raising it to level six.

As Song Jian continued forward, a light sound suddenly caught his ear, and a golden system notification appeared in the void before his eyes.

System: Your guild’s territory has expanded to cover all of Doomsday City’s land. Your city, City of Hope, is now officially recognized as a stronghold on the Nefiya Continent. The city level has been upgraded to level five!
