I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1420

Chapter 1420: Chapter 1422: Posuo Fruit Chapter 1420: Chapter 1422: Posuo Fruit At this moment, the fruits were not yet fully ripe in Wanchuan City, and even though the small Giant Lizard Dragon Person was anxious, it did not immediately pluck them. However, Song Jian could not wait much longer and leapt down, flying towards those three fruits.

Seeing a dark shadow descending and lunging at the Paso Fruit Tree, the little Giant Lizard Dragon Person was stunned. It had not expected someone to attempt to snatch the Posuo Fruits at this time.

Just as Song Jian had picked one Posuo Fruit, the little Giant Lizard Dragon Person suddenly came to its senses, immediately becoming infuriated with embarrassment. It had avoided the adult Giant Lizard Dragon Persons and used special methods to hasten the ripening of the Paso Fruit Tree, even at the expense of a considerable amount of its own blood, but not for the sake of letting others take advantage.

“Thief, robber, roar~” roared the Giant Lizard Dragon Person in the ancient Elf language. Rising to its feet, it seemed to pull a long whip from nowhere and lashed viciously at Song Jian.

By this time, Song Jian had already placed one Posuo Fruit into his inventory slot and was holding the second, preparing to pick the third, when he suddenly felt a draft behind his head. He had planned to take the hit and pick the third fruit, but a strange image suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the image, he saw himself holding one Posuo Fruit in one hand while picking another, and just then, a whip struck him. His whole body shattered like glass with a “bang.”

As he shattered into pieces, the scene in his mind also disappeared suddenly, the whole thing not even lasting a full second, but Song Jian was already scared to the point of sweating profusely, his clothes soaked through!

“Is this… my future a few seconds from now?” With that thought, Song Jian hastily retreated, discarding any thoughts of picking the third Posuo Fruit.

Whoosh~
Like a gust of wind, the whip swept through without a sound, as if a phantom had lightly brushed over the Paso Fruit Tree, but Song Jian knew that if the whip had hit him, it would’ve unleashed its maximum power and instantly killed him!

“What’s happening to me? Why do I suddenly have the ability to foresee my own future?” Song Jian floated mid-air, his eyes filled with shock. He certainly did not believe that what he had seen was an illusion; with his current strength, no illusion could deceive him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Song Jian’s mind, and he looked down at the Posuo Fruit in his hand. Indeed, the previously bright red fruit had withered as if left out for a long time, losing its moisture and shriveling up.

“Could this Posuo Fruit actually have such an incredible effect?” Song Jian stared dumbfounded at the shriveled Posuo Fruit, hesitating for a moment before deciding to keep it in his inventory slot.

“The withered Posuo Fruit, quality: Miscellaneous, attributes: A Posuo Fruit that has expended all its Power of Law, can be used to make alchemy elixirs of the 6th tier or higher;”
Although it was a spent Posuo Fruit, its value greatly reduced, it still had some use. However, Song Jian felt a sense of regret and wasted opportunity. Considering his passive skill “Enemy of the Death God,” which allowed him to die once without any consequence, he not only missed out on the third Posuo Fruit but also wasted one that he already had, a tremendous waste indeed.

By now, the third Posuo Fruit had been picked and swallowed by the little Giant Lizard Dragon Person. After glancing at Song Jian with a hateful look, it went down on all fours and began to escape rapidly. The direction it fled towards was opposite that of the group of Giant Lizard Dragon Persons. It seemed this little Giant Lizard Dragon Person would no longer be able to return to its tribe and would have to wander.

Moreover, due to Song Jian’s interference, the Posuo Fruit it swallowed was not fully ripe, and there was only one, which meant it was unlikely to achieve what it desired.

Song Jian didn’t care about the animosity of a minor giant lizard dragonkin. Glancing back at the Paso Fruit Tree, he fluttered his Chaotic Heavenly Wings and swiftly flew towards the distance.

In a region blanketed by the scorching Power of Law, columns of fire erupted incessantly, exuding an endless terrifying might. Song Jian was like a nimble bird, quickly weaving in and out between the columns of flame, as if he had foreknowledge of when each would erupt.

There were no changes to Song Jian’s attributes, nor did he gain any skills like precognition. But whenever a nearby column of fire was about to erupt, he always seemed to know, like a wild beast’s intuition–no reason; he just could sense it!

“Is this the Power of Law contained within the Posuo Fruit?” Song Jian speculated, unable to resist taking out the first Posuo Fruit he had picked from his inventory.

“Unripe Posuo Fruit, Quality: Divine, Attributes: consuming it carries a certain chance of comprehending the Time Law; Description: The Power of Law inside the Posuo Fruit is random, only solidifying in an instant when the flower wilts, and the fruit is formed! This Posuo Fruit, due to the premature stimulation of the tree, didn’t have enough time to mature, so it’s not fully ripe. Its effects are one-tenth of that of a ripe Posuo Fruit!”

“Divine quality!” Song Jian’s cheeks twitched involuntarily. It was the first time he had encountered an item of divine quality. Such a Posuo Fruit, even though unripe and only one-tenth as effective as a ripe one, if known to others in the gaming world, even Legendary Realm powerhouses would likely covet and desire it, perhaps even to the point of killing for its possession!

“Time Law, this is a Posuo Fruit that has fostered the Time Law…” Song Jian couldn’t help but feel excited.

The Power of Law was the key to breaking through to the Legendary Realm. Possessing the Power of Law, to ordinary people, was akin to being God-like. In the presence of someone who wielded the Power of Law, even Legendary Realm powerhouses were like unarmed children, utterly incapable of resistance.

Just like those giant lizard dragonkin, an average being at the peak of the Dominion tier, no matter how many there were, Song Jian didn’t care; with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, he could annihilate hundreds of Dominion-tier bosses. But in front of a group of Dominion-tier bosses with the Power of Law at their command, Song Jian could only keep his distance, relying on stealth attacks to kill them one by one, without daring to engage in battle. He could only use his ultimate trump card, eliminating them before they could react.

The formidable nature of the Power of Law was evident. However, among the many laws, there were differences in strength, and the Time Law and Space Law were among the most elite within the Power of Law.

“If only I could wield the power of the Time Law…” Song Jian thought excitedly, “It’s a pity it’s only an unripe Posuo Fruit. If only I could get a ripe one.”

Just as Song Jian was about to swallow the fruit, something suddenly came to mind, and he fished out a fragment that sparkled like a diamond from his inventory.

Law Fragments, these were the spoils from killing a giant lizard dragonkin that possessed the Power of Law. Both belonging to items of Law, Song Jian didn’t know if this fragment could have some effect on the Posuo Fruit.

“Let’s give it a try. There’s nothing to lose anyway!” Song Jian mused internally, bringing the sole Law Fragment close to the Posuo Fruit.
