I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1600 - Chapter 1600 Chapter 1601 External Sect Elder

Chapter 1600: Chapter 1601: External Sect Elder Chapter 1600: Chapter 1601: External Sect Elder At this moment within the core area of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array, countless Spirit Swords and the Sword Qi of the core area collided with each other, their power akin to two fighters from the Legendary Realm battling with all their might. Such intensity of battle far surpassed the full power of the array formation, nearly equivalent to double the formation’s power, something wholly beyond the control of a second-tier combat power pinnacle like Fang Dayou.

All that Fang Dayou could do at this time was to do his best to maintain stability while sending out a plea for help to his sect.

Several outer sect disciples paled, and although they had mostly been spectating, they couldn’t help but notice the instability of the formation. The array plate had even begun to reveal itself, and if things continued, it was only a matter of time before it shattered.

Whoosh~

A sharp Sword Talisman soared into the sky as several outer sect disciples exerted all their efforts to assist Fang Dayou in stabilizing the array plate. Even those being examined within the Heart Inquiry Sword Array took notice of the abnormality.

“What, what’s happening? It feels like even heaven and earth are trembling!”

“Could it be that we’ve triggered some sort of prohibition? Such a terrifying presence, if it spreads to us, we’re likely to die…”

“Why is the Sword Array unstable? It’s not going to explode, is it?”

…

The examinees immediately descended into chaos, and even the fog monsters within the array seemed to grow stronger, causing several hundred people to fail the examination, ejected from the Heart Inquiry Sword Array in no time.

“The Sword Array, the Sword Array is going to collapse…” Fang Dayou’s face turned deathly pale. If the array collapsed and the array plate was damaged, the punishment he would face was certainly more than he could bear.

Just as Fang Dayou despaired, a cold snort sounded in his ear: “Humph, useless!”

“Greetings to the Elder of the outer sect. Elder, I, I can’t hold on any longer!” Fang Dayou, covered in cold sweat and trembling as if he were about to faint.

An elderly man dressed in a gray robe with red eyebrows and white hair snorted coldly. With a flick of his finger towards the phantom of the array plate in the air, the violently shaking phantom of the plate soon stabilized and then vanished back into nothingness.

It was then that the few outer sect disciples finally sighed in relief, collapsing to the ground as if all their strength had left them, like fish out of water, drenched and gasping for air.

“Fang Dayou, you have been overseeing the initiation ceremony for more than a day. Who allowed you to crank up the array plate’s power to the maximum? Do you really think you can control the array plate? Ridiculous, arrogant!” Sun Yun glared at Fang Dayou with a face full of anger, his heart laden with disappointment.

As the top disciple of the outer sect and the one with the highest hope of entering the inner sect, the potential damage to the array plate caused by Fang Dayou could not only block his entry to the inner sect, but whether he could remain in the Divine Sword Sect was also a question.

“Elder, it was like this…” Struggling, Fang Dayou climbed up from the ground and recounted the events.

“…I, I didn’t expect that disciple from the Imperial Sword Sect to have such formidable strength. Not only is his mastery of the array formations at an extremely high level, but he was also capable of contending with the power of the array in the core array eye region!” Fang Dayou said in a low voice.

Sun Yun’s anger on his face gradually disappeared. If that was really the case, then it wasn’t entirely Fang Dayou’s fault.

“Idiot! If he could represent the Imperial Sword Sect, his strength is undoubtedly beyond comparison with you outer disciples. Judging his strength by your own is simply absurd!” Sun Yun snorted coldly and said, “The Heart Inquiry Sword Array can only unleash its full power at the Legendary Realm. Although the peak of the third tier combat power is still somewhat forced, what you did not only failed to hinder him but also made him look down on the Divine Sword Sect. You really are more trouble than help!”

“Elder, since you have come, why not take control of the formation plate yourself? Let that boy know the might of our Divine Sword Sect!” Fang Dayou said.

“Too late, too late. If I had taken control before he entered the core formation eye area, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to find the formation eye. Now that he has already started to decipher the formation eye, even if I take control, I can’t do anything about him, unless I detonate the entire formation plate and perish together with him. But he is not a real enemy, how could we do such a thing?” Elder Sun Yun flicked his sleeve and huffed coldly.

Just then, a figure appeared on the edge of the white fog, seeming to search for something. It took a full cup of tea’s time before the figure slowly emerged from the white fog.

“Impressive, impressive! I had not expected that the entrance examination of the Divine Sword Sect would be so challenging. It seems that every disciple who can join the Divine Sword Sect is an elite disciple of excellent talent; each one cannot be underestimated!” Song Jian shook his head and sighed.

It was only after breaking the sword formation that Song Jian realized, such a sword formation, even if one didn’t force their way through it, required at least reaching the peak of the second tier, or even third tier combat power to pass the examination.

What Song Jian did not know was that Fang Dayou had privately turned up the power of the formation to the maximum, especially for him this time. Usually, the power of the formation in the entrance examination would only be set to thirty percent of its potential.

Fang Dayou’s cheeks flushed slightly, and he stole a glance at Elder Sun Yun.

“Hahaha, this must be the distinguished disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect. Truly a fine figure of a man and a talent!” Elder Sun Yun laughed heartily and took over the conversation, “I am Sun Yun, an outer sect elder of the Divine Sword Sect, specially here to welcome you. The Sect Leader and the other elders are waiting for you in the great hall. Please come with me.”

“Imperial Sword Sect’s Song Jian pays respect to Elder Sun!” Song Jian bowed respectfully.

Elder Sun Yun’s face was filled with a smile, and he was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he began to scrutinize Song Jian from head to toe.

It was known that Elder Sun Yun was a powerful individual in the Legendary Realm who had grasped Domain Power, but when he tried to gauge Song Jian’s strength, he suddenly discovered that he could not ascertain it. Or rather, Song Jian’s strength appeared unfathomable like an abyss before him, which was terrifying.

“How is this possible? A disciple from the Imperial Sword Sect has a higher strength than me, an outer sect elder? Could it be that he has already reached the mid-stage or even higher ranks of the Legendary Realm?” A storm raged in Sun Yun’s mind.

“Young friend Song, at such a young age you possess formidable strength. I truly have lived in vain for a hundred years, I am ashamed in comparison, haha!” Sun Yun’s demeanor became much more amiable, and he treated Song Jian as an equal, taking his hand with the warm expression of someone who regrets not having met sooner.

After exchanging some polite remarks, Sun Yun led Song Jian toward the main peak of the Divine Sword Sect, while sending a message to Fang Dayou, “Do a good job overseeing the entrance examination. If there are any more issues, I don’t think you’ll need to continue serving as head of the outer disciples! Humph.”

Fang Dayou was on the verge of tears and after bowing to the retreating figure of Elder Sun Yun, he took out a bottle of elixir, poured it into his mouth, and began to continue maintaining the stability of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array.

This time, Fang Dayou dared not turn the power of the sword array to the maximum. As usual, he only activated thirty percent of the array’s power, patiently waiting to see if anyone else could emerge from the sword formation.
