I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1227 - Chapter 1227 Chapter 1229 Sword Burial Canyon

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1229: Sword Burial Canyon Chapter 1227: Chapter 1229: Sword Burial Canyon Song Jian and the other disciples rushed into the Swordwood Forest, quickly discovering an oval-shaped purple teleportation portal over two meters high within it.

“This is the place, brothers, I wish you all good luck!” a disciple dressed in the attire of a direct disciple said with a smile, cupping his hands towards everyone before stepping into the portal first.

Shortly, one by one, the disciples entered. Upon stepping through the portal, Song Jian felt a blur before his eyes and then as if someone had given him a shove from behind, causing him to stagger forward a couple of steps.

When he steadied himself, he found that he was standing at the edge of a canyon.

Gazing into the distance, the cliff walls on both sides of the canyon were as smooth as mirrors, appearing as if a giant crack had split open the earth, stretching straight ahead with no end in sight.

“Is this the secret realm?” Song Jian looked around and did not find any of his fellow disciples; it seemed that everyone had been scattered after entering the realm.

“This must be the Array Record Secret Realm. I wonder what kind of Sword Formation I will encounter!” Song Jian said, ready to walk towards the canyon.

He had only taken a few steps when he saw a poisonous insect the size of a fingernail cap emerging from small holes on both sides of the canyon walls, flailing its antennae and blocking Song Jian’s path, emitting a sharp hiss at him.

Song Jian smiled faintly and pointed lightly at the poisonous insect with his right index finger. With a “sizz,” a sharp Sword Qi burst forth from his fingertip, striking the insect.

“Puff~”

With a slight noise, the poisonous insect burst apart; it was just a small insect without any rank, incapable of withstanding the force of Song Jian’s fingertip.

Song Jian smiled faintly, prepared to continue forward. Just then, the scene before him suddenly flickered as if he had entered another world, and countless poisonous insects, numbering in the thousands, suddenly burrowed out from the canyon walls on both sides, rushing toward him.

Song Jian’s heart skipped a beat, immediately realizing he had fallen for a trap. The insect from before was also constructed by an array; the correct way to solve it was to perceive the Array that constituted the insect, gain control of the Array, find its core, and then solve it.

But that fingertip from earlier was like trying to force a rough solution, which not only failed to break the Array but fully triggered its power.

The dense swarm of poisonous insects before him, each possessing the strength of at least a level fifty ordinary monster, would have been overwhelming for an average player in their sixties who, upon entering the secret realm, would likely have had to flee.

At that thought, Song Jian’s mind moved, and countless Spirit Swords, burning with dark red flames, began to slowly rotate around him, forming a giant Spirit Sword whirlwind.

The firestorm whistled, and all the poisonous insects rushing towards Song Jian plunged headfirst into the Spirit Swords, incinerated by the Red Lotus Karma Fire until nothing remained but a small pile of black ash scattering in all directions.

In less than three minutes, the blanket of insects had vanished, leaving only a layer of ash and a faint sweet and fishy poisonous smell in the air.

Puff~

A shattering sound resonated beside Song Jian’s ear, and suddenly everything in front of him rippled, as if a bubble had burst, and the surrounding scene shattered into pieces.

In front of Song Jian, there was only a broken poisonous insect left. The remnants of the array that constituted the insect were rapidly dissipating, and in no time, only some shattered materials remained. These materials, necessary for constructing the array, had all been destroyed and could no longer be used.

“Did I just forcefully decipher the array that constituted this poisonous insect?” Song Jian thought, realizing what had happened.

From the moment he used Sword Qi to pierce through the insect, he entered the stage of forceful decryption. Otherwise, if he had captured the insect and pondered over it, he could have comprehended the array behind its construction. If familiar with the array, he could have gradually dismantled it and obtained the materials used in its construction–that was the standard procedure for breaking an array.

Forceful decryption like Song Jian did, without letting the array harm him, yielded no gains. If he continued in this way, entering the Sword Array Record Secret Realm would have no meaning.

“Indeed, every plant and tree here might be constructed by an array; I must be more careful!” Song Jian nodded and, undeterred by such an array as the poisonous insect, continued to walk toward the valley ahead.

As soon as he entered the canyon, Song Jian felt chilling winds and the air was filled with a strong Sword Intent, which startled him and made him stop at the entrance of the canyon.

“Why is there such a strong Sword Intent here, it’s as if, as if…” Song Jian murmured to himself.

“This canyon is known as Sword Burial Canyon, and at least three seniors with Sword Intent from our sect have been trapped here!” a voice came from behind Song Jian.

Song Jian turned around to see two individuals dressed in the attire of inner sect disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect, slowly approaching him.

“Junior Brother Song, you’re lucky you didn’t go straight in. Otherwise, you might have also fallen into Sword Burial Canyon. The Sword Intent Storm inside isn’t something just anyone can withstand,” Duan Da said with a smile, looking at Song Jian.

“Sword Intent Storm?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow, his gaze involuntarily drifting deeper into the canyon, but he saw nothing.

“Brother, do you not believe it?” Duan Da glanced at the person beside him, who nodded and then took a rabbit over a foot long from a storage bag and threw it into the canyon.

The rabbit, freed from restraint, swiftly ran into the canyon, but before it had gone ten meters, its body instantly split into hundreds of pieces, scattered across the ground.

“Sword Intent is intangible yet substantial. As soon as it detects a living being, it will automatically converge upon it. Even someone who has cultivated their body to be as tough as steel cannot survive in such a sharp Sword Intent Storm,” Duan Da shook his head and continued, “However, this is the only place in the secret realm where one can comprehend Sword Intent. At least one-third of those who enter the secret realm aim to come here for that reason!”

A glimmer of understanding appeared in Song Jian’s eyes as he looked at Duan Da and his companion, “Are you two senior brothers here to comprehend Sword Intent?”

“Haha, Junior Brother Song, we’re not here to comprehend Sword Intent!” Duan Da shook his head and said, “Deep in Sword Burial Canyon, there’s a Sword Spirit Tree that bears nine Sword Intent Fruits every hundred years. Just consuming one will allow you to condense the Sword Intent most suitable for yourself!”

“Junior Brother Song, I’m Duan Da, and this is my junior brother Chen Shuyou. We are disciples of Battle Sword Peak. Sword Burial Canyon is fraught with danger. How about the three of us band together to enter? And later, we can divide the Sword Intent Fruits among us equally?” Duan Da extended the invitation genuinely.
