I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1267 - Chapter 1267 Chapter 1269 Unwilling

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1269: Unwilling Chapter 1267: Chapter 1269: Unwilling The power of the Thousand Swords Art was immense, and Song Jian had originally thought that once he had mastered the Thousand Swords Art, he wouldn’t need to learn any other sword techniques. Yet now, he had discovered that every time he executed the Thousand Swords Art, it required consuming all his Sword Qi. Although the skill’s cooldown time was only ten seconds, in that span of ten seconds, his Sword Qi Value couldn’t fully recover.

With that thought, Song Jian made a move with his heart and vanished from the spot, entering into the Shattered Divine Realm.

The condition of the Divine Country had been somewhat restored by now. Even though there was no divine power, every time Song Jian killed a monster, he would absorb some Soul Energy into the Shattered Divine Realm. Although the conversion rate between Soul Energy and divine power made Song Jian rather heartbroken, it was still sufficient to sustain the development of the Divine Country.

The current state of the Divine Country, compared to when he had first obtained it, had changed drastically.

In the Divine Country, Song Jian’s recovery rate was much faster than in the game world. It didn’t take long for his previously depleted Sword Qi Value to be fully restored.

In less than a minute’s time, Song Jian reappeared in the great hall. This time, it was the Demon Bone Monk’s turn to show a surprised expression.

“I originally thought you had used a spatial displacement skill to escape, but no spatial waves or ripples occurred. Unexpectedly…” The Demon Bone Monk stared at Song Jian, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “This is truly a pleasant surprise!”

With that said, a pained expression crossed the Demon Bone Monk’s face as it appeared to exert all its strength. The bone spikes on its body began to shake violently, and in no time at all, these bone spikes detached from the Demon Bone Monk’s body, floating around it.

Song Jian was taken aback, “This, this seems somewhat familiar!”

It was nearly identical to the way Song Jian summoned Spirit Swords when he executed the Thousand Swords Art.

As he was thinking, the Demon Bone Monk stared at Song Jian, a sly smile spreading across its face.

“Ten Thousand Calamities Kill!”

With a low shout, dozens of large and small bone spikes, surfaced with a dark gleam, shot towards Song Jian like flying swords, at a velocity that was several times faster than the Spirit Swords, even surpassing Song Jian’s reaction speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Song Jian suddenly felt intense pain coursing through his body, and only then did the “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” of slicing through the air reach his ears.

Realizing he was under attack, Song Jian could only hastily raise a Bone Shield to protect his head and face. However, the bone spikes seemed to be endless, wave after wave, stabbing towards him like a torrential downpour.

Crack, crack~

The Bone Shield emitted sounds as if it was about to shatter, which alarmed Song Jian. The strength of the Bone Shield was supposed to increase along with his abilities. The current Bone Shield should have been able to withstand a full-force strike from a sovereign-level boss, but now it was on the verge of breaking after less than five seconds under the bone spikes’ onslaught, causing Song Jian to reassess the lethality of these bone spikes.

Crack~

In the moment the Bone Shield shattered, Song Jian’s figure vanished once again. The bone spikes that filled the sky mostly began to slowly fade away, leaving only a dozen or so that glimmered with black light hanging in the air.

The Demon Bone Monk’s eyes narrowed as he lost his target; he controlled the bone spikes, which slowly flew back into his body.

After a groan, all the bone spikes re-embedded themselves into the Demon Bone Monk’s flesh.

“Indeed, he can evade attacks by hiding in an existence similar to a semi-dimensional plane…” the Demon Bone Monk muttered to himself, turning his head to look towards the Reincarnation Pool with a complex look flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Song Jian was lying flat on a grassy area within the Divine Country. His Vitality Points had dropped to less than a thousand, almost entering a near-death state. It’s worth noting that with his current strength, even a full-force strike from a dominion-level BOSS would not have left him in such a state.

There were seven or eight large holes in Song Jian’s arms, legs, and torso, where the attacks had pierced through. The pain had been so intense due to the speed of the attack that only now, after having taken refuge in the Divine Country, did he realize how serious his injuries were.

“That strike, it was far beyond the damage of a dominion-level BOSS, almost comparable to the damage from a King Level BOSS…” Song Jian thought to himself.

Struggling, Song Jian fumbled in his inventory for a healing potion and poured it into his mouth. Watching his Vitality Points slowly rise, his wounds also began to heal rapidly.

“Although its skill is powerful, there is a casting time. I must seize the moment before it’s released, and use the Thousand Swords Art to kill it!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Once his condition had fully recovered, Song Jian took a deep breath, gripped his Sky-breaking Sword tightly, and with a thought, his figure once again disappeared from the Shattered Divine Realm.

Just as he left the Shattered Divine Realm, a girl in a white flowing dress suddenly appeared beside the grass where he had previously lain. This girl had appeared before but had made no moves, seemingly just a spectator. Moreover, she didn’t seem to have a physical body; she appeared somewhat transparent, like a soul, only her soul had a hint of the divine unlike ordinary souls.

The girl bent down, intently examining the grass where Song Jian had lain. His injuries had caused him to bleed quite a bit. She extended a finger, lightly touched Song Jian’s blood, and then tasted it.

A smile just began to form on the girl’s face, but suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she spat repeatedly onto the grass.

“Ptui, ptui, ptui, why does his blood have a trace of annihilation…” the girl frowned deeply as though she was quite displeased with Song Jian’s blood.

“No, this is not the taste of annihilation; this, this is the taste of chaos!” The girl seemed to realize something, and her face changed dramatically as she suddenly exclaimed.

“Damn it, why is this happening…” The girl’s face was a kaleidoscope of expressions, and a hint of despair appeared in her eyes: “How could it be chaos, why chaos…”

All things originated from chaos and will ultimately end in chaos! Even deities face a natural suppression by the Chaotic Force due to their rank!

“Impossible, why is this happening…” The girl couldn’t help but fall to her knees on the ground, staring unwillingly at the pool of blood on the grass, and ultimately, she dissipated into thin air in silence.

At this moment, Song Jian reappeared in the Reincarnation Pool. The instant he appeared, he swung his Sky-breaking Sword and rushed towards the Demon Bone Monk. Six hundred Spirit Swords, ablaze with Red Lotus Karma Fire, closely followed him. In an instant, the dark red flames whirled up a vast tornado that tightly enveloped the Demon Bone Monk.
