I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1236 - Chapter 1236 Chapter 1238 Realization

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1238: Realization Chapter 1236: Chapter 1238: Realization The Chaos Sword Canon, upon being acquired by Song Jian, was something he tried to cultivate immediately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t learn the manual. Even when he attempted to memorize it, he found that despite his efforts, he couldn’t remember a single line from the canon.

Even more, Song Jian did not even know the conditions required to cultivate the Chaos Sword Canon, so he had no choice but to keep this legendary quality technique pressed at the bottom of his bag.

Originally, he thought that it might take a long time before he could cultivate this technique, but unexpectedly, after suffering a strike from the Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder, the Chaos Sword Canon in his bag began to emit a faint purple-gold light, as if it were calling out to Song Jian.

Song Jian couldn’t wait to take out the Chaos Sword Canon and, holding it in his hands, the sword manual suddenly burst into a dazzling light that enveloped him completely.

System: Do you wish to learn the legendary technique, Chaos Sword Canon, now? Yes/No

A long-awaited system message appeared before Song Jian’s eyes.

Song Jian hastily chose Yes, and the Chaos Sword Canon instantly turned into a stream of purple-gold light that burrowed into his mind. In an instant, the Sword Qi within Song Jian’s body began to boil uncontrollably, surging from his dan tian to his limbs and bones, with every pore exuding Sword Qi as if he were a hedgehog.

However, this state quickly subsided, and Song Jian shockingly discovered that his body seemed to be no longer under his control–as if he were a puppet, stiffly standing in place, while a robust Sword Qi continuously surged through his meridians, following a specific path as it circled within his body.

Song Jian knew this was the specific circulation route of the Chaos Sword Canon’s Sword Qi and immediately focused on memorizing it. Unlike his previous attempts to remember the content of the Chaos Sword Canon, after the Sword Qi had circulated once, Song Jian had memorized this particular route.

At the same time, a massive stream of information exploded in Song Jian’s mind. All the content from the Chaos Sword Canon that he’d been unable to remember instantly flooded into his mind. Even though Song Jian’s limit for Spirit Points was already high, such a terrifying amount of information rushing into his brain all at once still made his head feel like it was going to explode, causing him to instinctively clasp his head and let out a pain-filled moan.

“How could there be such a terrifying volume of information?” Song Jian thought in agony. He knew the entire Chaos Sword Canon by heart, for he had read it countless times. Even though he never remembered any of the content, he still knew that it consisted of only a few thousand characters. That these few thousand words could contain such an immense amount of information was something Song Jian found hard to believe.

Song Jian dropped to his knees in pain, no longer holding on to the hope of immediately understanding all the information. He just hoped that the onslaught of information would end soon, otherwise, even his never-used Enemy of Death God ability might be triggered.

BOOM~

A loud noise echoed as the battle between the golden giant and the Golden Holy Lion in the distance continued. The Golden Holy Lion unleashed numerous black ropes that bound the golden giant’s body, restricting its movements, but the golden giant still managed to ram the lion with its powerful body.

The body of the Golden Holy Lion was crushed against a mountain peak, and on its body, there were signs of collapsing magical arrays, looking like wounds as golden runes continually spurted out.

Gulping for air, Song Jian found that the content of the Chaos Sword Canon had been entirely etched into his mind. At that moment, Song Jian was bleeding from all seven orifices, looking extremely miserable, but in reality, once the flow of information from the Chaos Sword Canon ended, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Even the severe wounds and the remnants of the Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder on his body had vanished. At that moment, though he looked pitiful, Song Jian felt incredibly revitalized, with a grey mass swirling in each of his eyes, and endless Sword Qi continuously flowing towards these two grey masses. And these masses, like bottomless pits, devoured all the Sword Qi without stopping.

At this moment, Song Jian’s thoughts were rapidly tumbling in his mind, as if there were millions of little figures, each wielding a long sword and ceaselessly practicing various sword techniques. Whenever Song Jian comprehended a sword technique, the figure performing it would disappear, only for a new one to appear and demonstrate another set of swordplay.

This was akin to Song Jian perceiving countless sword techniques simultaneously. When he first started practicing, the number of techniques was manageable, but as it continued to grow, he once again lost control. He felt as though he had been forced onto a high-speed highway with no way to stop.

However, Song Jian’s understanding of sword techniques was also improving at an extremely rapid pace.

In reality, with Song Jian’s current strength, it was impossible to learn the Chaos Sword Canon. Although the canon was only meant for those favored by gods, or players, learning such a legendary technique required meeting numerous prerequisites in addition to being favored by gods!

The first requirement was to have a sword technique of at least epic quality and to practice it beyond level ten. Moreover, one also had to survive a life-threatening ordeal and receive the aid of thunderous power!

Song Jian’s Thousand Swords Art had evolved into the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art after mutating and had ascended to legendary quality, moreover, its level had been raised to eleven. Coupled with being struck by the Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder and sustaining severe injuries, and the residual power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, which contained the most top-notch thunderous power remaining within him even after being struck, it was these factors that triggered the learning conditions for the Chaos Sword Canon when it sensed the power of the Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder!

Entering the secret realm and encountering the guardian, the Golden Light Giant, was both a crisis and an opportunity for Song Jian. It was a matter of seizing it–if he did, he could soar to the heavens!

But now, Song Jian was distinctly feeling his mind on the verge of exploding again. The vertical eye on his brow was slowly opening uncontrollably, and it began to ooze out a trail of blood.

Just at that moment, Song Jian was suddenly engulfed by an enormous shadow. The colossal body of the Golden Lion was caught by the Golden Light Giant and flung toward Song Jian’s position.

Normally, with Song Jian’s speed, he could easily dodge, but now, with all his consciousness focused on comprehension of countless sword techniques, he had completely lost his perception of his surroundings.

Boom~

A thunderous crash rang out as the body of the Golden Lion fell heavily upon Song Jian, pinning him down!

The Golden Lion at this time was a wreck, its body riddled with countless wounds that spewed forth golden runes. It couldn’t even struggle to stand and could only lie helplessly on the ground.

It wasn’t long before the body of the Golden Lion collapsed into disintegration, turning into countless golden runes that surged into the sky. In mid-air, the runes swirled upward like a tornado, and then slowly vanished.

A palm-sized golden lion statue appeared on the ground, covered in cracks. A hand suddenly reached out to grasp the golden lion statue, but as it grasped the figure, the entire statue “poofed” into dust that drifted through the fingers and scattered below.
