I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1446: Chapter 1448: Analyzing the Formation Chapter 1446: Chapter 1448: Analyzing the Formation “How, how could this happen!”

After a while, a member of another race stammered, “This Forbidden Sky Array is just a common profound-rank array. Once triggered, it should only summon an attack equivalent to one from a warrior at the Legendary Realm. How could it produce an attack equivalent to the full force of a divine-level powerhouse…”

The previous attack had scared everyone half to death. Peak strength at the Legendary Realm was the highest level among them all, yet they couldn’t even withstand a single blow. If it were them, their fate would certainly not be any better than Croc Overlord’s.

At the very least, Croc Overlord had left behind a broken corpse. If it were them, they probably wouldn’t even leave an intact corpse behind.

Song Jian, who was off to the side, also felt his heart pounding with fear.

Damn it!

This was way too dangerous. Accidentally triggering a formation had provoked a full-force attack from a divine-level powerhouse. If it were him, he would probably be killed instantly as well.

He could kill a warrior at the Legendary Realm in an instant and was somewhat proud of it, but now, Song Jian quickly adjusted his mentality. This place was far from as safe as he had imagined.

“It’s not the array’s power. It must be Ao Tian who has triggered a more fearsome array, we just don’t know it!” a big demon shouted loudly.

“If it had that ability, it would’ve triggered it already and killed us all, wouldn’t it? Who among you can withstand the full-force attack of a divine-level powerhouse?” someone sneered.

“Hmph, we’ve already come this far. Are you saying we want to leave? I say we join forces and crack the array to enter the Dragon Palace quicker. Otherwise, the treasures inside might all end up in Ao Tian’s hands!”

“Yes, everyone together. This defense array is just a profound-rank array after all. With our combined efforts, we only need the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to forcibly break through!”

“What if it triggers another divine-level attack?” someone suddenly asked.

Everyone fell silent. At that moment, an insect-like humanoid creature stepped forward, pointed at Song Jian and Xin Ling, and said in a deep voice, “These two are the weakest in terms of combat power. Let’s have them attack the array first to test it. If it doesn’t trigger a divine-level attack, we’ll then combine our efforts to break the array!”

“Heh heh, this plan is good. The Human Race doesn’t have much to offer. These two youngsters are only third-order in combat power, just right for testing the strength of the array!”

“But they are geniuses of the Human Race with god-level protectors. What if…”

“What is there to be afraid of? Even if the protectors are powerful, they can’t come in here. If the human geniuses die in the Dragon Palace Treasure, will the protectors know how they died?”

“Exactly, let these two go try first. Their combat power is the weakest…”

In no time, all the demons surrounded Song Jian and his companion.

“Boy, no matter which sect’s genius you are from the Human Race, you don’t have your protectors with you now. If you don’t listen to us, we will kill you first, then break the array!” a member of another race yelled at the two.

“Go, use your strongest moves to attack the array. If you can survive, after we break the array, you can enter with us. Otherwise, you might as well die here.”

…

Xin Ling’s face changed dramatically. Surrounded by so many Legendary Realm powerhouses, with their surging auras, she felt like she was on a small boat in the midst of a tempestuous sea, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

“Master, even if Senior Brother is strong, he can’t possibly be a match for so many Legendary Realm powerhouses… What do we do, what should we do now?” Xin Ling suddenly became panicked.

“I remember there was a prodigy from the Heavenly Demon Clan named Song Qi; why is there no sign of him?” Song Jian looked around and saw that everyone around him was from a different race. They were either from the Demon Clan or the Void Insect Clan, including a youth with protruding eyes and a large mouth, without eyebrows, who clearly wasn’t from the Human Race. He was standing in the distance, grinning widely and looking over with an amused expression.

“This Song Qi, the one you need at a moment like this, is nowhere to be found.” Song Jian curled his lips, as expected, the name Sky Demon Sect just didn’t sound like any reputable faction, and this faction’s prodigy didn’t seem too impressive either.

“Little fellow, have you made up your mind yet? If you don’t decide soon, we’re going to take action!” A large demon shouted, exhaling a white breath from his nostrils.

Song Jian smiled and glanced around. More than thirty Legendary Realm powerhouses had surrounded him, each with an unfriendly expression on their face.

“Just the image of someone from over a million years ago, who must have died tens of thousands of years before, yet so arrogant. I would truly like to see what kind of expression they would have on their faces if they knew that it wouldn’t be long before the Human Race will extinguish the Starry Sky All Races, heh!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Looking at the Void Insect Clan member who had been the first to speak, Song Jian said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll give it a try and see how strong this array is!”

With that, Song Jian pulled Xin Ling towards the exterior defense array of the Dragon Palace Treasure.

…

In the distance, by the edge of a sea trench, Song Qi lay on his back, eyes slightly closed, seemingly motionless as if dead, but in fact, he was using a secret technique to probe the situation afar.

“How stupid and incurable. So many races bear ill will towards the Human Race, and yet these two fools dare to approach. Aren’t they afraid of being killed by these forces working together?” Song Qi thought to himself, “But that’s also right. That boy has a divine-level treasure on him, probably not scared of them. But even with a divine-level treasure, he could at most kill one or two Legendary Realm powerhouses. After using it, wouldn’t he still be killed by the remaining races? Why bother? Better to stay far away and wait for them to enter the Dragon Palace before following them in!”

“Now these races seem united, but once they enter the Dragon Palace, faced with so many treasures, even real brothers would compete. How much more so these different races. Humph, that will be the perfect time for me to make my move!”

While Song Qi hid to the side and did not come out, Song Jian and Xin Ling were pressed by a group of Legendary Realm great demons and arrived at the defense array at the perimeter of the Dragon Palace.

The array looked inconspicuous, like a transparent glass wall, blocking the way for everyone to ascend the mountain. Countless streams of light flashed through the wall, bursting with brilliant colors.

Song Jian stretched out his hand and touched the array. His action startled the surrounding demons, causing them to instinctively take a couple of steps back.

“Defensive array…”

A cold and vast aura instantly transferred from the array to his palm. It was the power of the array, like blades cutting into Song Jian’s hand, but he quickly neutralized it.

Then, Song Jian’s perception, like a sharp blade, pierced the array, instantly passing through several of its nodes and began to analyze the entire operation of the defensive array.

“The way this ancient array is set up is astounding. These few nodes seem unrelated to the entire array, but they save at least 15% of energy consumption–interesting…” Song Jian, sensing the entire structure of the defensive array, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile.
