I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1428: The Ape Master Chapter 1426: Chapter 1428: The Ape Master For the Time Law Seal, Song Jian’s losses were also substantial. The Hexagram Array Diagram might not be as evidently effective as the Thousand Swords Art, but its attributes had been silently at work all along.

Especially those talismans, each with powerful effects. Morphing into Dark Cloud combined defense, evasion, and attack, truly an all-in-one offense and defense system. It could also absorb the essence of the moon in the darkness of night, which was one of the most important means for Song Jian to constantly enhance his physical condition.

The Dragon Blood Talisman increased Song Jian’s Vitality Points and Spirit Points, as well as his attack damage, adding the effect of Dragon Might to his injuries. The Lion Hawk Beast Bloodline Charm could enhance his attributes and also allow the summoning of Wings of Steel. The Wings of Steel not only granted Song Jian the ability to fly but could also be used as a shield to defend his whole body; the Undead Bone Charm could summon three bone shields, another all-in-one offense and defense existence, particularly effective in group battles with formidable power. The Monster Eye Talisman was a charm Song Jian had only recently acquired and had used only a few times before it was devoured as nourishment by the Time Law Seal. Looking back now, he still felt somewhat regretful.

But if he had to do it all over again and exchange the Hexagram Array Diagram for the Time Law Seal, he would make the swap without hesitation. After all, the Time Law possessed infinite potential and could even be considered the foundation of Song Jian’s ascension to godhood. As long as he could fully control the Time Law, Song Jian was confident he could take that most crucial, significant step!

Caressing the seal on his chest that felt branded on, Song Jian’s face betrayed neither sorrow nor joy. He had only taken a small step toward mastering the Time Law. Without future opportunities, this small step might well be the last one he would take in his lifetime.

Having emerged from the breach, Song Jian looked toward the distant Stone Forest, a hint of regret on his face. That was the Paso Fruit Tree, capable of bearing Posuo Fruits that enabled one to comprehend the Power of Law–fruits of incalculable value. If he could claim them as his own, Song Jian would no more fear the lack of opportunities to further comprehend the Time Law.

At that moment, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Song Jian. This was within a Space-Time Rift, with no Tree of Life as on Earth. If he could plant his own Tree of Life, he would forge a connection with this fragment of the universe. When the Tree of Life grew, he could use it to return to this fragmented universe!

Thinking this, excitement spread across Song Jian’s face as he pulled out a Life Seed from his inventory.

Song Jian had previously acquired two Life Seeds. One had already been planted on Earth and was slowly growing. The other, he had planned to refashion into a potion to enhance his innate skills, but he had been wary of the tree elf and had put it off until now.

The Life Seed planted on Earth was a gnawed and thus incomplete seed, while this one was a whole Life Seed. Without the game world’s supportive bonuses, Song Jian wouldn’t even be able to brand it with his own Vitality.

Song Jian laughed heartily, leaping into the air. He stepped onto a flying sword and sped towards the Life Forest–the most suitable place to plant the Tree of Life.

Back in the Life Forest, Song Jian immediately sensed several immense presences rapidly approaching him. Looking up, there was the emerald giant serpent, the Elf Los, the spider-being Kaslo, and several other powerful beings Song Jian had never seen before, all converging towards him.

“Human, the Life Forest does not welcome you!” said the Elf Los coldly, raising her bow and arrow to stop Song Jian’s approach.

“Human, it has been many days without sensing your presence, we thought you had perished in the Silent Stone Forest. But to our surprise, you are still alive. Tell me, have you seen the Paso Fruit Tree?” the emerald giant serpent asked with an almost human-like smile.

Looking at a group of beings from the Legendary Realm eyeing him greedily, Song Jian felt enormous pressure. The weakest among these monsters before him was in the early stages of the Legendary Realm, and several were at the peak of the Legendary Realm, just like the emerald python–a match for them, Song Jian, even with the divine ability “Critical Moment” that involved the Time Law, was no match for them.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my visit this time is to make amends for the faults I committed previously…” Song Jian said with a respectful fist and palm salute towards the several Legendary Realm monsters.

“Make amends for your faults, giggle, that’s hilarious. Do you mean to say you can resurrect those thirteen ancient trees you destroyed?” Spider Kaslo giggled, a sharp coldness flickering in her eyes.

For those creatures living in the Life Forest, be it the Scorched Earth or the Silent Stone Forest, they were all arch-enemies, constantly scheming to encroach upon the regions of the Life Forest.

Once the range of the Life Forest was reduced, the habitats and hunting territories for these creatures dwelling in the Life Forest would naturally shrink. As such, every ancient tree in the Life Forest was incredibly precious to them, sometimes even worth defending with their lives!

Song Jian’s arrival had directly destroyed thirteen ancient trees. Were it not for the fact that Song Jian possessed special flames capable of burning the Life Forest, these Legendary Realm powerhouses would have ensured he paid with his life!

Seeing the menacing demeanor of these Legendary Realm monsters, Song Jian gave a slight smile and produced the Seed of Life from his bosom, showing it to them.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the seed of the Tree of Life. I can plant it here as compensation,” Song Jian said softly.

“What, the seed of the Tree of Life? How is this possible?” A monkey covered in white hair stared dumbfounded at the seed in Song Jian’s palm, his face filled with shock.

Song Jian turned to look at the white-haired monkey, who was hunched over with a face full of wrinkles, looking very old. However, upon careful observation, one could see that this white-haired monkey had an extremely robust physique, and under the fur, his muscles were as hard as rock and brimming with explosive power, while his gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing one’s heart!

“Peak of the Legendary Realm… no, there’s a familiar scent emanating from its body. That’s the aura of the Power of Law; this is a peak Legendary Realm being who has grasped the Power of Law!” Song Jian was surprised in his heart. Such a monkey was only a matter of time before breaking through the Legendary Realm, and perhaps by the next time he came here, the other party would already be a Demi-God Level powerhouse.

“Ape Master, what is the Tree of Life?” Spider Kaslo asked curiously, and the other powerhouses also looked like curious babies, staring at the white-haired monkey.

Song Jian was taken aback. These Legendary Realm powerhouses didn’t even know what the Tree of Life was–it was common knowledge for beings in the Legendary Realm!
