I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1241 - Chapter 1241 Chapter 1243 Leaving

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1243: Leaving Chapter 1241: Chapter 1243: Leaving Placed in Song Jian’s inventory slot was a fragment of an item, the very piece of the Demon Suppression Tower Fragment that Song Jian had long sought!

Song Jian had already obtained two pieces of the Demon Suppression Tower Fragment from the Ancient Desolate Abyss and had been searching for the third. Only by collecting all three could he merge them into a complete Demon Suppression Tower!

He had always assumed that the third fragment was within the Ancient Desolate Abyss, yet to his surprise, this third fragment was actually inside the Imperial Sword Sect’s Formation Atlas Secret Realm.

“Who would have thought, this third fragment was in possession of the guardian of the secret realm…” Song Jian mused silently to himself.

The three fragments overlapped in a single slot of his inventory, emanating a faint purple-golden light that pulsed as if indicating to Song Jian that they were ready to be merged.

Song Jian’s gaze fell on the three fragments, and quickly, two options appeared before him: “Merge” and “Destroy”!

His gaze naturally rested on ‘Merge,’ and a purple-golden light swirling like a vortex began to revolve around the inventory slot. Soon, a purple-golden vortex formed, and the three Demon Suppression Tower fragments turned into three beams of light that were absorbed into the vortex. In a moment, the purple-golden light intensified and a complete Demon Suppression Tower appeared in Song Jian’s inventory slot.

“Demon Suppression Tower, of legendary quality, it’s actually a Spiritual Treasure!” Song Jian observed the properties of the Demon Suppression Tower somewhat surprisedly. Apart from increasing all of the holder’s attributes by 200 points, the Demon Suppression Tower possessed a terrifying array of additional properties: increasing damage, amplifying skill power effects, increasing Vitality Points, increasing Spirit Points, accelerating recovery speed, and boosting movement speed!

Besides, the Demon Suppression Tower came equipped with three skills: Demonic Suppression, Transform Demon, and Devour Demon!

Demonic Suppression was an active attack skill that consumed 30% Spirit Points, unleashing indiscriminate true damage on all monsters within a hundred-meter radius! This skill had no cooldown, allowing for continuous casting, and as long as the Spirit Points held out, it could be unleashed without limit!

For killing bosses, this move was average at best, but against those monsters that rely on sheer numbers to overcome, akin to ants attempting to consume an elephant, it possessed extreme suppressive capabilities. One strike, and all monsters within a hundred meters were reduced to ash. With the Demon Suppression Tower in hand, players would no longer fear being surrounded and killed by an overwhelming number of monsters!

Transform Demon was also an active skill, capable of altering a monster’s innate attributes. For example, if an Abyssal monster was targeted with the Transform Demon skill, its innate Abyssal Devil attribute would change into any monster attribute designated by Song Jian. By exploiting vulnerabilities related to attributes, he could easily kill the modified monster!

This had unimaginable effects when hunting down those formidable bosses!

The last skill, Devour Demon, was somewhat similar to the effect of the Sword Qi Stone Tower, devouring critically wounded monsters or their corpses, and converting them into battle experience, skill proficiency, or Purple Crystal!

This skill might seem ordinary at first glance, but for Song Jian, it was an even more crucial skill than the first two!

“What a pity, it must be traded for the life of a comrade!” Song Jian looked at the purple-golden Demon Suppression Tower in his hands, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Just as Song Jian was loath to put down the Demon Suppression Tower, the entire secret realm suddenly began to quiver violently, and Song Jian noticed a faint glow surrounding his body as if protecting him.

Soon, Song Jian suddenly lost control over his body and turned into a beam of white light, flying into the sky. He saw that throughout the secret realm, many beams of white light were rising, each containing a human figure.

“These are all disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who entered the secret realm!” Song Jian thought to himself.

In that instant, Song Jian’s vision blurred, and he felt as if a great force had flung him into the air, causing his body to spin uncontrollably.

By the time he crashed heavily onto the grass, he was shocked to find that he had actually emerged from the secret realm.

“How could this be? There were still about ten days left before we could leave the secret realm…” Song Jian wondered, puzzled as he stood up and patted the dirt off himself.

At that moment, he realized that all the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who had entered the secret realm were unexpectedly thrown out, some with minor scrapes, others lying motionless on the grass, seemingly having lost consciousness.

“Where is this…” Song Jian looked up and around only to find that they were at the back mountain of the main peak of the Imperial Sword Sect, which was precisely where they had entered the secret realm.

Just then, a rustling sound came from afar, as if a large group of people were running toward them.

“Quick, quick, quick, they should be right ahead!”

“How could the Array Record Secret Realm suddenly collapse? I wonder if the senior brothers are injured?”

“It shouldn’t have collapsed. The Array Record Secret Realm is very stable; even after a thousand years, there should not be the slightest damage…”

“Look there, they are right over there!”

…

Looking up, Song Jian saw a group of Imperial Sword Sect disciples rapidly approaching. Upon arrival, these disciples immediately ran toward those who were injured. One of them was originally running toward Song Jian, but upon approaching and seeing Song Jian stood there curious, looking at him, the disciple scratched his head, sized Song Jian up and down, and finding no injuries on him, he gave a somewhat awkward smile to Song Jian before turning and running toward the other disciples who had just emerged from the secret realm.

At that moment, Song Jian caught sight of a familiar figure and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, “Instructor!”

Duan Jian glanced at Song Jian and waved his hand, “You are now a direct disciple of the Sect Leader; it’s enough to call me senior brother.”

Song Jian nodded and corrected himself, “Senior Brother Duan!”

Duan Jian surveyed the area with a sweeping gaze, then sighed softly, “Wang Tianyu from Battle Sword Peak, Duan Mei from Qinglian Peak, and Qi Long from Gu Yue Peak, it appears these three disciples have fallen within the secret realm!”

With each venture into the secret realm, disciples inevitably fall; it’s a sad inevitability!

“What on earth happened in the secret realm for it to suddenly eject everyone out?” Duan Jian couldn’t help but ask, “With the collapse of the secret realm, it will take at least three years of recovery before it can be opened again. This is a significant loss for the sect!”

Opening the secret realm is not only about allowing disciples to enter and comprehend formations to enhance their understanding of array laws, but even more importantly, it is about obtaining resources such as Jade Liquid Wine, which can’t be found in the outside world. If it cannot be opened for three years, the loss for the Imperial Sword Sect would be indeed substantial.

Song Jian’s brow furrowed slightly, a look of hesitation appeared on his face; he opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but after looking around, he chose to remain silent.

Seeing Song Jian’s expression, Duan Jian was shocked. Knowing the full extent of a secret realm’s collapse, Duan Jian didn’t think it would have anything to do with Song Jian. With Song Jian’s strength, it would be impossible for him to cause such an event.

But now, observing Song Jian’s expression, Duan Jian was instantly sure that the incident must involve Song Jian!

Duan Jian glared at Song Jian, grabbed him, quickly gave a few instructions to the other disciples who had come along, and then pulled Song Jian toward the Sacrificial Hall at the main peak.
