I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1239 - Chapter 1239 Chapter 1241 Open the Sky

Chapter 1239: Chapter 1241: Open the Sky Chapter 1239: Chapter 1241: Open the Sky Given the energy required by the previous Sword Qi Palm Imprint, the Sword Qi Stone Tower rising a hundred feet before me would only demand more energy, as this was indeed the final stage of the evolution of the Thousand Swords Art!

Yet in Song Jian’s current state, both his Sword Qi Value and Spirit Points had been entirely depleted, his Vitality Points less than half. In such a condition, he would likely be dried to a husk by the time the Sword Qi Stone Tower was even fully formed!

After activating the Azure Dragon Sword Body, Song Jian’s condition immediately returned to its peak, and he gained an additional 30,000 points of false life. Even if his Sword Qi Value and Spirit Points were drained again, these 30,000 points of false life would be enough to solidify the Sword Qi Stone Tower!

Soon, Song Jian’s Sword Qi Value was exhausted, followed by his Spirit Points, and then his Vitality Points also began to slowly deplete. By then, the 30,000 points of false life were gone, and Song Jian’s more than 10,000 remaining Vitality Points dwindled. However, by this point, the Sword Qi Stone Tower above his head had already fully taken shape, and Song Jian could even make out the patterns on every brick of the tower.

Boom~

The Sword Qi Stone Tower descended upon the golden giant with the speed of lightning, once again pressing it into the ground, and a damage value of more than 3 million floated up from the floor.

Staring intently at the Stone Tower with a face full of expectation, Song Jian saw no signs of activation on the first level of the tower even after a long wait, and a hint of disappointment crossed his face as he let out a soft sigh.

The greatest effect of the Sword Qi Stone Tower wasn’t the force of it smashing down, but rather its ability to absorb the souls of dying or severely injured enemies and then decompose their souls within the tower to enhance the proficiency of the Thousand Swords Art!

However, the golden giant before him was entirely formed by an array, and had no soul or anything similar, rendering the most important function of the Sword Qi Stone Tower ineffective!

“What a pity, it seems I only have one move left!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Song Jian slowly raised the Sky-breaking Sword, moving as if the sword weighed millions of tons, each minuscule motion exceedingly difficult. The surrounding air seemed to transform into a barrier to his movements, rippling with every painstaking inch he advanced!

The space around Song Jian’s body seemed to collapse inward, with a pressure as heavy as steel clamping down tightly on his physique!

Stifled, oppressive, frenzied!

Song Jian instantly felt his bones creaking and his body in severe pain, as if his strength of over 200 points was a sham.

“This pressure has exceeded my expectations…” Song Jian’s face turned grim as he thought to himself, “As expected, only legendary warriors can effortlessly execute the moves from the Chaos Sword Canon!”

Song Jian could only decide to begin executing a move from the Chaos Sword Canon, but he was unable to stop halfway. Once the move started, it was like tens of thousands of tons of stone rolling down hill, relying entirely on inertia. Trying to stop it would only result in being crushed to dust.

At this moment, that’s how it was for Song Jian too. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry on with the move until the end. Giving up halfway would likely explode his entire body to smithereens!

“Chaos Sword Canon…” Song Jian’s facial muscles twisted painfully, his mouth full of blood as he let out a low, deep roar, “Primordial Opening!”

A massive surge of energy burst forth from Song Jian, and in an instant, it was as though a nuclear bomb had detonated. The intense shockwave spread out in all directions, shattering numerous mountains, rivers, forests, and beasts composed of arrays the moment the wave spread!

This was not a proper decryption, but a complete destruction by brute force–overpowering, direct erasure!

Sky-breaking!

This move was the only skill Song Jian had grasped after learning the Chaos Sword Canon. With his current strength, even if he met the learning requirements of the Chaos Sword Canon, he could not comprehend any skills from it, as if giving an eight-or-nine-year-old child an Azure Dragon Crescent Blade; the child would not be able to wield any cut, let alone lift it.

But during a previous twist of fate, when he had almost been brain-blasted by the concepts within the Chaos Sword Canon, the Sacred Lion Demon-binding Seal had struck him, directly ejecting him from the chaotic state he was in.

The very instant he broke free from his insight, during that flash of enlightenment, the Sky-breaking move mysteriously emerged in Song Jian’s mind!

Even in the skill column, there was only the Chaos Sword Canon skill, and no “Sky-breaking” sword technique!

Song Jian had always suspected that the Sky-breaking sword technique might be just his own delusion, but after the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art failed and couldn’t inflict a destructive blow on the golden giant, Song Jian had no choice but to reluctantly try out the move that kept surfacing in his mind!

If this move really were an illusion, Song Jian would probably have to hastily seek refuge in the Shattered Divine Realm, to escape from the golden giant’s pursuit!

The Sword Qi Stone Tower slowly dissipated, and the golden giant stood up once again. The golden giant, now with tiny golden runes flowing all over its body, would collapse and steadily vanish into thin air upon contact with the atmosphere. Even without seeing its Vitality Points, Song Jian knew that the golden giant was severely injured, and the formation constructing it was on the verge of collapse. However, this was not because Song Jian had deciphered the formation of the golden giant, but rather, a more powerful formation was forcefully breaking the golden giant’s formation!

Now that the golden giant was injured, it was an excellent opportunity to use Mental Strength to probe its body and locate the formation’s critical points. When the golden giant was unscathed, it was completely immune to mental perception. Whoever used mental perception to probe the formation inside it would be immediately counterattacked!

But now, with the formation constructing the golden giant on the brink of collapse and the golden giant itself being heavily injured, it was no longer able to resist mental perception!

Unfortunately, Song Jian did not realize that while he was single-mindedly trying to take down the golden giant like slaying a boss, he had actually executed a sword move, Sky-breaking, of which even he was not certain!

The initially slowly fading Sword Qi Stone Tower suddenly manifested hundreds of Spirit Swords as if the entire Sword Qi Stone Tower had collapsed and then transformed into Spirit Swords!

Countless Spirit Swords, ablaze with dark red flames, congealed together once again, and an axe longer than a yard appeared in midair. This axe was much taller than Song Jian, but in the eyes of the hundred-zhang-tall golden giant, it probably counted for no more than a toothpick!

The moment the long axe appeared, the air was filled with an aura of chaos. Even the golden giant felt this aura and showed a look of dread, its courage completely drained, as if it were a boss attempting to flee towards the distant mountains!

The previous escape by the golden giant had seemed more like a strategic retreat, requiring caution of a possible counterattack if pursued. But this time, it was a complete rout, giving the feeling of having no mental pressure when chased!

Just then, the long axe that had been motionless in the air suddenly moved. In an instant, a virtual shadow of an axe blade, tens of zhang wide, appeared in the sky, and as the long axe swung through the air, the shadow of the blade viciously chopped toward the neck of the golden giant!
