I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1427: Mark of the Time Law Chapter 1425: Chapter 1427: Mark of the Time Law Song Jian sat cross-legged in the dark cave, a cold smile in his heart, “Do they really think I’m some clueless country bumpkin, dreaming of trading that junk for a Posuo Fruit? Absurd!”

The Power of Law, even legendary realm powerhouses covet this ability, so how could Song Jian easily hand it over, unless the other party offered equipment like the Sword Immortal set or skills like the Chaos Sword Canon. Otherwise, Song Jian wouldn’t even spare it a glance.

Song Jian sat cross-legged, already starting to lose the sensation of his body’s existence, as if he had become a mass of consciousness, shrouded in a haze.

In an instant, Song Jian felt countless versions of himself appear in the river of time, each image seen from his own perspective, looking around at everything.

The concept of time seemed to vanish, yet it was omnipresent; Song Jian felt as if he were embodying myriad forms, and for a moment, even his self-awareness began to blur.

Just then, a chilling thought suddenly surged in Song Jian’s mind, jolting him back to clarity.

Song Jian understood that if his self-awareness truly became muddled, he would not only fail to comprehend the Time Law, but he might also become an idiot or a vegetative person. His self-awareness would shatter into millions of pieces, scattered across the river of history. By then, even if he had skills like the Enemy of Death God, he would be utterly extinguished in the game world.

The chilling thought in his mind must have been his innate skill “Immortal Body” being triggered by sensing danger. This skill had been with Song Jian since he entered the game and had saved his life countless times.

“To think of comprehending the Time Law with just third-tier combat power is still too difficult!” Song Jian mused internally.

The Time Law is almost the most difficult to master and comprehend among all the Powers of Law, a hundred times more so than the Space Law, and not something someone with third-tier combat power should presumptuously attempt to comprehend.

If it were a more ordinary law like fire or ice, Song Jian probably would have comprehended it by now.

However, now that Song Jian has begun to comprehend the Law through the Posuo Fruit, he can’t back out. He must either successfully comprehend the power of the Time Law or wait until the energy of the law contained in the Posuo Fruit is exhausted.

It should be noted that the energy contained in an immature Posuo Fruit can last for over ten days, and the one Song Jian has consumed is a mature Posuo Fruit, with energy content that is absolutely ten to a hundred times that of an immature one.

Song Jian sighed slightly in his heart, “Success or die with honor; I must comprehend the power of the Time Law, or else this Doomsday Cruise Journey may come to a premature end…”

With this thought, Song Jian closed his eyes once more, earnestly trying to sense the continuously emerging Power of the Time Law around him…

Song Jian’s figure occasionally became vague, at times multiple illusions appeared, and then he reformed into one person, as though his body was perpetually splitting. The expression on his face became increasingly agonized, as if every inch of his skin was being torn and every bone ground to dust, tormenting him incessantly.

At the same time, traces of the Time Law’s power appeared on his body but disappeared the moment they emerged, like mere illusions.

As time trickled by, Song Jian seemed to be in a state of eternal stillness, with all his attributes locked. His hunger and thirst would not increase, nor would they decrease over time, as if there were no consumption at all.

One day, two days, ten days, twenty days…

In the blink of an eye, the day when the Doomsday Cruise Journey was to end was upon us, and Song Jian was still immersed in the realization of the power of the Time Law.

Suddenly one day, Song Jian’s figure began to shake violently, as if he had completely lost control of his body, and finally, a loud noise came from within the sealed cave.

“Boom!”

Half of the mountain was blown apart, and the walls of the sealed cave were covered with blood and minced flesh. In a short while, Song Jian’s figure slowly appeared a few hundred meters away from the sealed cave, materializing from nothing, his face still reflecting the expression of someone who had just survived a catastrophe.

“As expected, trying to master the laws of the world is still too difficult for me!” Song Jian shook his head. Having failed to comprehend the Time Law, at the last moment, the uncontrollable Power of Law turned Song Jian into a bomb, exploding himself. If it weren’t for the passive skill Enemy of Death God being triggered, Song Jian might have perished in the fragmentary universe.

Looking at his skill bar, the Enemy of Death God skill had entered its cooldown period. At this moment, Song Jian was in a state of having been revived from death.

Pulling open his armor, Song Jian noticed that the Hexagram Array Diagram on his chest had disappeared without a trace, including several spirit talismans all gone, as if they had never existed.

In their place, an infinity symbol () had appeared on his chest, horizontally situated. This symbol not only represented infinity but also the endless loop of time!

Looking at the mark on his chest, Song Jian sighed and muttered to himself, “It’s a bit regretful that I have not grasped the laws of the world, but at least the journey has not been in vain. With this Time Law mark, my trip has been worthwhile!”

At the last moment, a failure to comprehend led to the loss of control over the Time Law’s power. Originally, Song Jian would have gained nothing after self-destructing, but in the end, he gave up on the “Night Slayer” Hexagram Array Diagram and various spirit talismans embedded on it to obtain this Time Law mark.

This mark seemed like a seed of the Time Law’s power. As long as it existed, Song Jian could enter a state of comprehending the Time Law at any moment. However, there were daily restrictions on the duration and frequency of comprehension. As long as Song Jian continued to comprehend the Time Law, once he reached the pinnacle of the Legendary Realm, he would one day fully master its power.

And even now, he was not incapable of using the Time Law. He could use an ability similar to “predicting the future” three times a day, allowing him to see a vision two seconds into his own future. Song Jian had experienced the effectiveness of this ability before; it was like having three chances each day to dodge fatal injuries.

“Critical Moment (Divine Skill), instant cast, skill effect: an active skill that allows the user to foresee events within the next three seconds when activated; this divine skill involves the Time Law, and once triggered, the future will change; passive effect: when the user’s life is in critical danger, it will also be passively triggered, foreseeing events within the next three seconds! This skill can only be used three times a day, and it cools down and resets at midnight!”

This was a divine skill involving the Time Law, Song Jian’s first supernatural ability. But the most important thing was not the ability itself, rather the Law mark that contained the power of the Time Law, which had given rise to this divine skill.

“As long as I can control this Law mark, comprehending the Time Law is only a matter of time,” Song Jian thought, stroking the mark on his chest.
