I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1162 - Chapter 1162 Chapter 1164 Abyss Octopus_1

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1164: Abyss Octopus_1 Chapter 1162: Chapter 1164: Abyss Octopus_1 Song Jian charged into the vortex, and when his vision returned, he was already above the East Sea. A few kilometers ahead was a stretch of beach where monsters emanating black auras ceaselessly crawled out of the ocean onto the sand.

“It seems we’re still quite a distance from the previous entrance…” Song Jian glanced around and did not spot the desolate island he had seen before, and there were only a few people nearby. It appeared that the emergence point after leaving East Sea Mirage City was random, which could prevent those who entered the Mirage City from being targeted by others with ill intent.

The few others, upon realizing they had left East Sea Mirage City, didn’t say a word and quickly left. Song Jian’s thoughts moved, and he summoned his flying sword.

Within moments, the flying sword that was only three inches in size instantly transformed into a seven-foot-long sword, steadying itself beneath Song Jian’s feet.

At the same time, the flying sword radiated a brilliant Sword Qi that enveloped Song Jian, reducing air resistance as much as possible and increasing his flight speed during the Sword Flight Art by continuously changing shape according to the airflow.

Protected within the Sword Qi, Song Jian felt no discomfort, and this Sword Qi also served to protect him during flight, shielding him from sudden attacks.

With a thought, the flying sword swiftly took off, accelerating from a standstill to maximum speed in less than two seconds. Most importantly, the energy consumption during flight was nearly ten times lower than when using the Sky-breaking Sword. At top speed, Song Jian could fly in the sky for three days and three nights without depleting his Sword Qi Value.

“Indeed, there’s no comparison–the flying sword is many times better than the Sky-breaking Sword!” Song Jian couldn’t help expressing his delight.

Of course, this superiority was only in terms of flight. If it came to attack power, the Sky-breaking Sword would outperform the flying sword by leagues.

In just a few seconds, Song Jian traveled from the skies above the East Sea to the air above the beach. Looking down at the dense deep sea creatures below, he couldn’t help but summon the Sky-breaking Sword and cast the Thousand Swords Art toward the beach!

The dense Spirit Swords rained down like missiles from the sky, and immediately, loud booms resonated over the beach, with explosions erupting one after the other, creating numerous craters in the sand.

Hundreds of Spirit Swords covered an area of hundreds of meters in radius. After the booming sounds ceased, only the corpses of Abyssal monsters were left on the beach, burning quickly in the transparent flames. Within moments, they turned to ashes and were blown away by the sea breeze, leaving no trace, while the beach was littered with a multitude of items sparkling with silver and golden glimmers.

However, with so many monsters around, it was impossible for Song Jian to go down and pick up these dropped items. In just a few seconds, the large cleared area was once again blanketed by Abyssal monsters.

What surprised Song Jian was that these Abyssal monsters seemed very interested in the dropped equipment. They rushed towards the scattered items on the beach, and their mouthparts attached to the equipment, secreting fluids that corroded the items completely, swallowing them into their mouths.

The Abyssal monsters that had consumed the dropped items grew even more formidable, their strength seemingly enhanced, which opened Song Jian’s eyes to new possibilities.

“So, they can do this too…” Song Jian couldn’t help but think, “I wonder if the players who transformed into the Abyssal Hell race also possess such abilities, to enhance their own strength by devouring equipment. If they do, that would be somewhat too heaven-defying!”

Previously, when Song Jian had entered Abyssal Hell, the Abyssal monsters there did not possess such capabilities.

“System, do you think the players in the game world are dying too slowly?” Song Jian sighed. The Abyssal players’ levels were already four or five levels higher than other players in the game world. Coupled with so many Abyssal monsters, one could say that during the Abyssal Invasion plot, the Abyssal Hell players held a considerable advantage.

Now that the abyssal monsters have gained the ability to enhance their strength by swallowing equipment, it won’t be long before the strength of the monsters from the Abyssal Hell faction will significantly increase. Soon, the number of Abyssal BOSS monsters will grow more and more, and the scales of victory will slowly tilt toward the Abyssal Hell.

Song Jian, in a venting spree, released the Thousand Swords Art several more times, but aside from gaining some combat experience, nothing much changed. The number of abyssal monsters on the beach remained overwhelming, and some, having swallowed too many pieces of equipment, had even advanced directly from ordinary quality to elite BOSS level, confirming Song Jian’s earlier predictions.

Unable to hold back a sigh, Song Jian controlled his flying sword and headed towards the nearest East Sea City. All of this was no longer something he could change by himself.

Not long after Song Jian left, a huge vortex over a kilometer in diameter suddenly appeared on the originally calm surface of the East Sea. A massive creature, towering over a hundred meters tall, slowly emerged from the vortex.

The creature, resembling a tyrannical octopus, had a huge body like a skyscraper, with countless thick tentacles extending from the seabed, each hundreds of meters long.

Once the giant abyssal octopus emerged from the vortex, the vortex slowly disappeared. The octopus then submerged into the seabed as if searching for something. It didn’t take long before the giant creature resurfaced. Its tentacles were all sunken below the sea level, seemingly dragging something as it slowly moved toward the beach.

If Song Jian were present, he would have seen that this giant abyssal octopus was actually a level 100 King Level BOSS. With such a horrifying entity, there probably wasn’t anyone who could handle it at the moment.

In this region of the East Sea, it was the true overlord, able to rule over thousands of kilometers.

Soon, the abyssal octopus dragged its haul onto the beach–a black pyramid about a dozen meters tall, its surface gleaming with a metallic luster. On one side of the pyramid, a large door was left ajar, revealing a swirling nebula-like Teleportation Gate.

Images of abyssal demons flickered within the swirling nebula-like gate, each one ferocious, roaring and struggling as if trying to break free.

But they were held back by some mysterious power, seemingly sealing the nebula gate and preventing the abyssal demons inside from breaking through the barrier.

The abyssal octopus carelessly discarded the black pyramid on the beach, then once again swam back into the deep sea, quickly disappearing beneath the waves.

Before long, the giant abyssal octopus surfaced again, dragging another black pyramid from the seabed. This pyramid was even larger than the first, and another door with an open nebula Teleportation Gate was allowing a steady stream of abyssal monsters to emerge, joining the horde on the beach.

Continuously, the abyssal octopus dredged up dozens of black pyramids from the seabed. These were Abyssal Instances, the beachheads for the invasion of Abyssal Hell, pathways connecting the gaming world to the Abyssal Hell.

As the abyssal octopus surrounded itself with these black pyramids, it began to chant in the language of the Abyss. The enchanting sound filled the air above the beach. With the rise of the Abyssal incantations, the black pyramids around it also began to change slowly!
