I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1234 - Chapter 1234 Chapter 1236 Enrage

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1236: Enrage Chapter 1234: Chapter 1236: Enrage Gui Chuan glanced at Song Jian and started to explain what a Secret Realm Guardian was.

It turned out that in the Sword Array Record Secret Realm, there were not only all sorts of things made up of Sword Formations, but also nine powerful Bosses that had always guarded the realm.

These nine mighty Bosses were completely constructed from the most top-notch formations, incredibly powerful, and immune to both physical attacks and spells. Only the power of formations could take down such Bosses.

“This giant, emanating golden light all over its body, is at least among the top three in strength among the nine Secret Realm Guardians. It’s not something we can handle at all!” Gui Chuan said with a pale face.

“You mean to say, despite the Secret Realm’s existence for so long, these Bosses haven’t been killed even once?” Song Jian couldn’t help asking as he looked at the mighty Boss that seemed to be slowly awakening in the distance.

“Defeated? Haha…” Gui Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “These nine Secret Realm Guardians simply cannot be defeated. They’re all constructed from the top formations, not even my mentor could stand a chance here!”

“Previously, there were disciples who were too proud and united everyone who entered the Secret Realm to defeat a Boss. However, the one they chose was the weakest Guardian, constructed from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Array Map. Even such the weakest Boss killed half of the disciples who entered the realm at the time. The other half hid themselves and barely survived the remaining time before they could come out of the realm…”

“Since then, there have also been several records of the Secret Realm Guardians being awakened, but those were all accidental. Once a Guardian is awakened, all of us are in for a rough time!” Gui Chuan showed a bitter smile: “With just over ten days left, forget about trying to crack the formations and improve your skills. Just run for your life, and try to stay as far away from this Guardian as possible. If it catches up with you, death is the only outcome!”

Song Jian looked up to see that the other disciples had already fled like their lives depended on it, moving away from the Guardian’s direction. Only Gui Chuan, who had been kind to him just now, stayed to explain the situation in detail.

“Thank you, senior-apprentice brother!” Song Jian bowed and said, “I’ll keep your kindness in mind, but now, it’s time to run for our lives.”

Gui Chuan smiled and clapped Song Jian on the shoulder, “This golden giant, the Secret Realm Guardian, is constructed from the Purple Heaven Thunder Punishing Gods Array, so don’t even think about trying to decipher it!”

With that, Gui Chuan took out a palm-sized array disc, activated it, and turned into a streak of white light that shot into the sky and disappeared.

Song Jian laughed to himself. He had been too obvious, even Gui Chuan had sensed his desire to try and approach the golden giant.

“The Secret Realm Guardians are probably the most dangerous and valuable things in the realm. Since I’m here, if I don’t seize the opportunity to make contact, I’ll definitely regret it once I get out,” Song Jian muttered to himself, looking at the distant golden giant with a confident smile on his lips.

Song Jian had tried entering the Shattered Divine Realm to avoid the backlash of the Sword Formation while deciphering the Wine Lake Array. Although each entry and exit consumed some Soul Energy, this was of little concern to Song Jian. Slaying a few commander-level Bosses would replenish the spent Soul Energy.

In the whole Secret Realm, when it came to survival ability, Song Jian was probably the strongest. While the others didn’t dare to approach a Guardian, the only way to survive was to keep hiding and last through the time. But for Song Jian, all he needed to do was hide in the Shattered Divine Realm. The Guardians wouldn’t stay in one place but would pursue the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who had entered the realm.

Song Jian used the Sword Flight Art, flying towards the secret realm’s Guardian, a golden giant. As soon as he approached, he saw more than ten Imperial Sword Sect disciples controlling their life-bound long swords, continuously attacking the golden giant, but their attacks were completely ineffective against it, not causing even the slightest damage!

“We must use the power of formations!” one of the disciples shouted loudly while throwing a formation disk at the golden giant. The palm-sized formation disk flashed with light in mid-air and transformed into a thirty-meter-long python with a horn longer than a foot on its head, resembling the mythical Jiaolong.

The python constructed by the formation let out a low growl and pounced towards the golden giant, its long tail whipping fiercely against the giant’s calf, with a damage indicator of more than a thousand points floating up from the giant’s head.

Seeing the python inflicting damage on the golden giant, everyone became excited and began to throw out the formation disks they had prepared in advance. In a short while, more than a dozen mystical beasts constructed from formations surrounded the golden giant and the surrounding environment rapidly began to change as well.

Poisonous fog pervaded the area, corroding the golden giant’s defenses, while vine-like tendrils as thick as arms grew rapidly, spreading like a spider web, and in a short time covered a radius of several hundred meters.

Song Jian stayed in the distance, observing carefully, wanting to see just how strong the golden giant was. After all, it was a Guardian created by the Purple Heaven Thunder Punishing Gods Array, ranked in the top three. If it were defeated so easily, Song Jian would surely be disappointed.

As expected, the golden giant let out an angry roar, and with a raise of its right hand, the giant palm reached into the thunderclouds above. In no time, a section of lightning tens of meters long was grasped in its palm.

The section of lightning appeared to be frozen, and in the hands of the golden giant, it turned into the most terrifying weapon. With just a couple of simple swings, all the monsters attacking around it were split into several pieces by this sword of thunder and lightning. Their bodies disintegrated, reverting to formation disks, which then collapsed and turned into sparkling fragments, disappearing into thin air.

Next, the golden giant let out another great roar, and the thunderclouds above unleashed hundreds and thousands of purple thunderbolts. In an instant, an area of several kilometers around was engulfed by the purple thunder, destroying all formations within it in a flash. Some formations hadn’t even been activated before they vanished without a trace.

“How could it be so powerful!” The faces of the more than ten Imperial Sword Sect disciples showed terror, and a few quick-witted ones even snuck away, while the rest wore expressions of disbelief, looking at the golden giant.

“Truly formidable!” An excited look appeared on Song Jian’s face, his eyes gleaming with eagerness as he concentrated his Mental Strength into a needle and stabbed it towards the golden giant.

Since it was constructed by a formation, he could use his Mental Strength to sense the formation that constituted the golden giant, to comprehend and understand it, find the formation core, take control of it, and ultimately unravel the formation–this was the standard protocol for solving a formation!

However, to Song Jian’s surprise, as soon as his Mental Strength made contact with the golden giant’s body, it was as if he had struck a steel wall, utterly unable to penetrate the giant’s body!

Being unable to enter meant that he couldn’t make sense of the formation’s composition, leaving Song Jian at a loss for how to proceed!

A hint of astonishment appeared on Song Jian’s face. Just then, it seemed that his probing Mental Strength infuriated the golden giant. It abandoned its attack on the Imperial Sword Sect disciples, turned around, and took large strides towards Song Jian, thumping over with a resounding “rumble.”
