I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1271 Chapter 1273 Opening the Sky

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1273: Opening the Sky Chapter 1271: Chapter 1273: Opening the Sky At this moment, the figure opposite could not have been more different from the enchanting woman he had seen before–it was exactly like the statue of the Ancient Desolate Demon God that Song Jian had seen previously!

In the task bar, the option for the dark red quest now showed “Completed,” and at the same time, a girlish laugh sounded in Song Jian’s ear–the voice of the young girl from the town.

“You have completed your task quite well, indeed, not disappointing the expectations I had for you! Now, for your reward, I hereby offer your soul as the first sacrifice to the demon god, and your body shall become the first vessel for the demon god in this world!”

A cold smirk appeared on Song Jian’s face, “So there was never any good intention after all!”

To Song Jian, this Ancient Desolate Demon God seemed less threatening than the town girl had been. It appeared that even after thousands of years of imprisonment, despite the occasional soul sacrifices from the Demon Bone Monks and resentful spirits, it was unlikely to have fully recovered.

The current Ancient Desolate Demon God, though it still gave off an impression of immense strength, did not evoke the same sense of utter helplessness that the town girl had done.

However, the fact that the Ancient Desolate Demon God had broken out of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation exceeded Song Jian’s expectations.

“After being struck by my sword so many times, it’s only fair you should taste my methods!” A roar like thunder erupted, as the Ancient Desolate Demon God viciously clapped its eight arms together.

With a booming “bang,” vital energy burst forth, and eight treasured weapons, as if controlled by someone, flew towards Song Jian. Each weapon seemed to be manipulated by an exceptionally skilled weapons master, displaying eight different combat techniques.

For a time, Song Jian found himself as if battling against eight different bosses simultaneously, and with their seamlessly coordinated attacks, the difficulty wasn’t simply additive, it was geometrically multiplied.

Shortly, Song Jian’s left shoulder was harshly struck by a small pagoda, while his right arm was slashed open by a short spear, leaving a wound over a foot long, causing his Vitality Points to plummet by over three thousand, rapidly falling towards the halfway mark.

Boom!

A short dagger fiercely cleaved towards Song Jian, who narrowly evaded, and immediately following, two more weapons flew at him from both sides, targeting the spot where he would land from his dodge.

Wielding the Sky-breaking Sword, Song Jian slashed at the weapon approaching from his left. Behind him, a pair of wings shined with the luster of steel suddenly appeared, firmly shielding his body.

Bang, bang, bang!

Almost simultaneously, three weapons struck Song Jian’s steel wings. The defense of the steel wings sharply declined, and countless broken steel feathers shot out in all directions like darts, embedding themselves into the surrounding pillars and walls.

One of the shards from the steel wings flew straight towards the Reincarnation Pool statue, grazing the hole in the statue’s chest and lodging into the wall behind it.

The face of the Ancient Desolate Demon God dramatically changed, and it promptly withdrew five weapons, circling them around itself again, while it moved a few steps closer to the Reincarnation Pool.

Looking up towards the large hole in the chest of the statue, a glimmer of realization shone in Song Jian’s eyes, “What he fears is not my harming the statue, but the damage to that Soul Heart Lamp!”

A smirk forming at the corner of his mouth, Sword Qi surged throughout Song Jian’s body, flowing into the Sky-breaking Sword.

A wisp of grey breath began to emanate from Song Jian’s body, startling the Ancient Desolate Demon God with its appearance. Although extremely faint, this breath was the pure essence of Chaotic Force, a type of energy feared by all demon gods for its power to annihilate all things!

At this thought, even the Ancient Desolate Demon God felt an impulse to jump back into the Reincarnation Pool to hide away. After all, it was far from its peak state, its strength reduced to barely one percent of its original. Even at full strength, it would have avoided the Chaotic Force, let alone now!

Before it could decide what to do, Song Jian let out a light shout, “Sky open!”

Above the great hall, the phantom of a broadaxe began to appear. Countless Sword Qi rushed toward the phantom. Song Jian could feel the Sword Qi inside his body also surging toward the apparition, and even the scattered Spirit Swords from the previously broken Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation flew towards the phantom in the sky like swallows returning to their nest.

Moments later, the broadaxe phantom solidified, and with an unstoppable momentum, it slashed towards the Ancient Desolate Demon God.

In an instant, the Ancient Desolate Demon God felt a lock on the space around it within tens of meters, as if both space and time were constrained by the Sword Qi Sky-Axe, leaving no room to escape.

Even with abilities like instant teleportation or time reversal, there was no way to use them at this moment!

“Mortal, although I fear this power, your grasp of it is still too superficial. Do you really think that with this sliver of Chaotic Force, you can kill me? How naive!” bellowed the Ancient Desolate Demon God. Its arms began to break like porcelain, shattering one by one. As the arms vanished, the weapons they bore disappeared as well.

In their place, the Ancient Desolate Demon God’s body began to grow rapidly, shooting up from just over three meters to a towering figure almost six meters tall.

At the same time, two bulges formed on its shoulder blades. Sharp bone spurs soon poked out, followed by a pair of meaty wings that stretched seven or eight meters long. Dark purple blood dripped from the wing membranes, pitting the hard floor beneath with little craters.

After sacrificing six of its eight arms, only two remained, one arm holding a long knife, the other grasping an oval shield.

The Ancient Desolate Demon God did not retreat but advanced, striding forward and, like a spring, leapt high off the ground. The meaty wings flapped powerfully, generating fierce winds. It was ready to shatter the forming Sword Qi Sky-Axe before it could fully take shape!

Watching the Ancient Desolate Demon God leap high into the air, Song Jian let out a light chuckle and, swift as lightning, dashed toward the statue behind the Reincarnation Pool.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted behind Song Jian, where the Sky-breaking Axe and the Ancient Desolate Demon God collided fiercely, sending a surge of energy throughout the great hall. Several pillars that supported the hall began to crack, and the ground was riddled with cracks. The walls around were directly blasted away, exposing the mountainside outside.

Meanwhile, Song Jian had already reached the statue, reaching for the Soul Heart Lamp within the large hole in the statue’s chest.

“You dare!”

An angry roar erupted from behind Song Jian; the Next gale was biting cold. The Ancient Desolate Demon God, disregarding all else, lunged at Song Jian, intent on stopping him from touching the Soul Heart Lamp.
