I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1462 - Chapter 1462 Chapter 1464 Starry Sky Battlefield

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1464: Starry Sky Battlefield Chapter 1462: Chapter 1464: Starry Sky Battlefield Chen Dong flipped through the technique with a face full of surprise. The resentment he had felt from being robbed of the Time Sand had long since vanished. To exchange nine grains of Time Sand for an epic technique was, for Chen Dong, already a huge win.

Watching Chen Dong’s surprised and delighted expression, Song Jian shook his head with a smile. In the original history, Chen Dong was just an unknown minor character. Without an epic technique, he could only enter the Starry Sky Battlefield over and over again, hunting creatures from the Starry Sky All Races to earn merit points and exchange for treasures, until he died during one of those excursions into the Starry Sky Battlefield, with no one to remember him.

But this time, Chen Dong’s destiny had changed, albeit only within a closed loop of history.

As he looked at Chen Dong’s joyous face, a hint of a smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. He was about to inquire about the situation on the Starry Sky Battlefield when he suddenly saw a line of blood-red text appear before him.

System: You have exceeded the time limit to enter the Starry Sky Battlefield. Due to being in a special enlightenment state, you cannot be forcibly transported. One thousand merit points will be deducted from your account. You must acquire at least one thousand merit points before leaving the secret realm, otherwise, your equipment will be taken to cover the deduction. If one thousand merit points are not met after all equipment is deducted, items from your inventory, skills from your skill bar, and attribute points will continue to be drawn. Should the total deductions still not meet one thousand merit points, you will be erased!

Seeing the cold and chilling word “erased,” Song Jian couldn’t help but shiver. It seemed that this one thousand merit points was likely the price needed for all those disciples entering the secret realm.

System: Starry Sky Battlefield transport beginning. Do you accept? Yes/No; If no choice is made within 10 seconds, acceptance is assumed by default!

“Forced transportation?” Song Jian was stunned, his face displaying a bitter smile, “It looks like I’ve missed something very important!”

In the secret realm, such punitive events were rare, similar to what happened with the Dragon Palace Treasure. Other places within the secret realm were likely experiencing similar events, but such things were not mandatory for the disciples entering the secret realm; they could choose to enter or not.

However, this particular Starry Sky Battlefield seemed to be a collective event, demanding compulsory entry from everyone, and moreover, there were mandatory missions. Since Song Jian was in the midst of comprehending the Time Law and had entered a special state of enlightenment, the secret realm, which existed to enhance the disciples’ power, wouldn’t interrupt Song Jian in such a state. Thus, the forced transportation had been continually delayed, waiting for Song Jian to awaken from his state of enlightenment.

“Accept!” said Song Jian resignedly.

A flash of white light passed, and Song Jian’s figure disappeared on the spot, leaving behind Chen Dong who was holding a technique, staring blankly at the spot where Song Jian had been transported away.

…

At this moment, Song Jian felt as if he had entered a special passage, surrounded by the dark void, with stars flashing past like shooting stars all around him.

Boom~

In the distance, several giant beasts were fighting in the void, their clash causing the surrounding space to crack and, in some areas, even collapse entirely, creating massive black holes.

The endless suction force coming from the black holes prevented even light from escaping, but the giant beasts, only an arm’s length away, seemed completely unaffected and continued their battle.

“These are Demi-God Level, no, God-level creatures; this must be a battle between God-level beings, otherwise it wouldn’t be so earth-shattering!” Song Jian said in amazement.

Just then, a Taoist Man flew out from the void, standing on a flying sword and holding a jade Ruyi in his hands, glaring with anger at the giant beasts and loudly berating them.

These giant beasts were all over one hundred zhang in size. The Taoist Man looked like an ant before giants as he faced them, but the terrifying aura emanating from him was even more formidable than that of the beasts. If one were to sense their presence, the Taoist Man would seem like a colossus standing even taller than the giant beasts before him.

“`

Upon seeing this Taoist man, several giant beasts seemed somewhat fearful, one of which appeared rather defiant, issuing a dissatisfied roar at the Taoist man.

Whoosh~

A flash of white light glittered, and Song Jian couldn’t help but let out a low cry, as if his eyes had been blinded, with tears streaming down his face.

When he opened his eyes again, the void had quieted down, and the Taoist man and the giant beasts had vanished, leaving behind only the headless corpse of a giant beast lying there. On closer inspection, it was the very beast that had roared at the Taoist man.

In just a short while, more than ten beastly shadows shrouded in black fog materialized out of nowhere, feasting on the carcass of the giant beast.

Watching this made Song Jian’s hands and feet turn cold, realizing he didn’t even have the qualifications to be a bystander in a battle between God-level fighters. He was still under the system’s protection due to the forced teleportation; otherwise, the radiant light from that earlier strike would have blinded him instantly.

“The Starry Sky Battlefield, where all races vie for supremacy. Demi-Gods are less than dogs, and Legends walk everywhere. Haha, I thought I was already strong, but now I see I’m just a frog at the bottom of a well!” Song Jian said with a bitter smile.

The excitement and joy he had felt from comprehending the Time Domain early had now greatly diminished. Even Legendary Realm fighters who had understood the Time Law were no match for Demi-God or God-level fighters, let alone him, with only third-order Combat Power.

As time passed, Song Jian traveled continuously through the Time Passage. Along the way, he personally witnessed no fewer than a hundred battles, some between the Human Race and other species, some among different alien races. The entire starry space had become a battlefield where fights could break out at any moment. The corpses of the powerful lay scattered everywhere like trash.

The more he saw, the heavier Song Jian’s heart grew. This place seemed to him a slaughterhouse, a meat grinder, where even God-level fighters might not be able to protect themselves, to say nothing of someone with merely third-order Combat Power like him.

Not knowing how much time had passed, time seemed to have lost its meaning in this sea of stars. Song Jian felt his speed slow down as a black line appeared ahead of him, almost splitting the entire starry space in two.

Only when he drew closer did Song Jian realize that the black line was, in fact, an incredibly long coastline, and a vast expanse of flat land floated in the midst of the stars.

“Starry Sky Battlefield!” These words suddenly flashed through Song Jian’s mind.

In the void, meteorites continuously flew from the distance, falling onto this land. Song Jian was among them, drawn by a mysterious force toward the land.

At that moment, Song Jian noticed a series of grand palaces standing at the edge of the black land, each adorned with an enormous plaque.

“Su Yin Sect, Taiyi Sect, Fire Cloud Gate, Hantian Sect…” Song Jian’s eyes showed a surprised expression. Dozens of sects, each possessing a palace, but these palaces were arrayed like stars around the moon, encircling an even more magnificent palace.

“Xuan Tian Sect!”

Looking at the plaque of the enormous palace, Song Jian’s eyes revealed a look of realization.
