I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1453: Chapter 1455: God-slaying Arrow Chapter 1453: Chapter 1455: God-slaying Arrow “It works!” Song Jian’s eyes shone frighteningly bright. The Dragon Clan gene lock before him seemed to have some issues, as it was unable to detect the power of the bloodline, but if smeared with sufficient Dragon Clan Vitality, it could also be forcibly opened – acting as a sort of insurance.

Ao Tian’s breath was somewhat feeble. Even for a warrior of the Legendary Realm, losing too much blood could greatly harm the body and could even potentially damage the foundation, causing permanent injuries.

“Did you find anything?” Ao Tian asked with a hint of scorn curling at the corner of his mouth. In his eyes, Song Jian understood nothing. If Ao Tian didn’t think he’d lose in a fight, he would have fought to the death with him right now.

“Keep going, spread more blood on it!” Song Jian glanced at Ao Tian and said indifferently. If time weren’t so pressing, Song Jian would really want to kill the little dragon in front of him and smear his fresh blood on it.

Puh, puh, puh~
Ao Tian spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood. The light screen fluctuated more violently, but there was still no other change. As Song Jian’s gaze grew colder, Ao Tian gritted his teeth, and cut open his blood vessel. Instantly, a jet of blood shot out towards the light screen.

Not only had he cut open his blood vessel, but Ao Tian also had to prevent the wound from healing; otherwise, with the body of a Legendary Realm warrior, some simple external injuries would automatically heal in a matter of seconds.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds…

Ao Tian’s blood surged for fifteen seconds. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have died from excessive blood loss by now, and Ao Tian’s breath was getting weaker, and the scene before his eyes blurred.

“Am I, am I going to die?” Ao Tian staggered, looking as if he were about to collapse at any moment. His consciousness gradually faded, and the injury on his blood vessel lost control, slowly healing. The pale golden Dragon blood spattered everywhere.

Just then, the pale blue light screen suddenly burst into a golden light, and the phantom of a four-clawed golden dragon appeared on the screen with a line of text below it.

“Direct bloodline of the Western Sea Dragon King, access granted!”

Seeing this scene, Ao Tian, who had grown weak from excessive blood loss, suddenly became spirited, his eyes widening as he looked at the light screen and burst into loud laughter.

“Hahaha, we can enter now, we can enter! The Dragon Palace Treasure, this is the real secret treasure of our Dragon Clan!”

The light screen disappeared, revealing a dark hole which looked no different from an ordinary cave. Ao Tian gave Song Jian a look, seeming eager to try.

“This is the actual Dragon Palace Treasure? It looks a bit…” Song Jian frowning softly as he spoke, “Different from what I imagined!”

“Hmph, what do you know? What’s valuable about the Dragon Palace Treasure is the treasure itself, not the place that holds it. Let’s hurry in; those guys behind us are about to catch up!” After saying this, Ao Tian was the first to dive into the cave.

Song Jian hesitated for a moment, then pulled Xin Ling along to follow. However, within that brief second, Ao Tian vanished, leaving only the sound of footsteps fading into the distance.

“This guy…” Frustrated, Song Jian realized he had been slipped away by him. It seemed that Ao Tian had many more secrets about the Dragon Palace Treasure that he hadn’t revealed.

“Never mind him, let’s hurry in. Ao Tian must have entered the treasure by now, we’ll catch him there!” Xin Ling urged Song Jian on as they ran down the corridor.

The cave definitely didn’t seem worthy of the words ‘Dragon Palace Treasure’; it looked like any other ordinary cave, with damp rock walls and a thick layer of moss covering them.

This moss emitted a faint glow that made the passageway not so dark.

Having run only a few dozen meters, Song Jian suddenly felt a chill on his scalp and quickly pulled Xin Ling to a stop.

“Be careful!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Three foot-long cyan-brown arrows flew towards Song Jian, these three arrows crystal clear, half tangible and half ethereal, making them hard to detect in the dimly lit corridor.

If it wasn’t for Song Jian’s strong perception, he might have been hit without even noticing them.

However, the moment Song Jian’s perception touched the three arrows, their speed suddenly increased, turning into a streak of grey light, tracing arcs in the air as they shot towards him.

Song Jian instantly felt a tingling in his scalp, and even his sea of consciousness conveyed a shattering pain.

“I’m going to die!” Song Jian instinctively pulled Xin Ling with him into the Shattered Divine Realm, disappearing from the spot.

After entering the Divine Country, Song Jian knelt on the ground, gasping for air, his forehead drenched in sweat. The three arrows didn’t look remarkable, but the pressure they put on Song Jian was tremendous, similar to the feeling of being watched by the Dragon God at the Dragon God Altar.

“Divine level…” Song Jian realized with alarm that the three arrows possessed a divine level expert’s strike, far beyond his current ability to withstand.

“If I didn’t have access to the Shattered Divine Realm, I would probably be dead by now, with my sea of consciousness completely shattered,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Although he wouldn’t truly die if he perished within the mystic realm, if his sea of consciousness were to be truly shattered, even after leaving the mystic realm and recovering, it would probably take a year and a half.

“These three arrows seem to have the function of tracking perception. They wouldn’t have suddenly erupted like this if I hadn’t touched them with my perception earlier…” Song Jian speculated in his mind.

The corridor was very dim, and most powerhouses wouldn’t rely on their eyes to observe their surroundings, but would instead use their perception to probe. The three arrows were specifically designed against perception, launching an unrelenting attack upon any contact.

After resting for a moment, Song Jian took Xin Ling out of the Shattered Divine Realm. This time, he did not dare extend his perception outside his body, and cautiously observed his surroundings with his eyes.

At this time, the three arrows floated quietly above the corridor, difficult to detect without a careful look. They seemed to have entered a slumber, motionless in the air.

Caution tingling, Song Jian led Xin Ling carefully forward. After a while, the feeling of impending doom slowly faded.

“God-slaying Arrow, those three arrows seem to be God-slaying Arrows!” Xin Ling suddenly whispered, also quite shaken, her face pale. Even after leaving the attack range of the God-slaying Arrows, her body still trembled nonstop.

“God-slaying Arrow?” Song Jian was taken aback, it was the first time he had heard the name of such a weapon.

“God-slaying Arrows, with divine perception lock-on, ascend to the heavens, descend into the netherworld, even gods and demons cannot escape…” Xin Ling’s eyes showed a trace of awe as she looked at Song Jian and asked, “Where did you take me just now that we were able to avoid the God-slaying Arrows’ lock-on?”

Song Jian shook his head. He did not wish to divulge the existence of the Shattered Divine Realm to anyone. It was only out of sheer necessity, as his gut told him he would have died if he hadn’t entered the Shattered Divine Realm. Even his passive ability, Enemy of Death God, wouldn’t have saved him, so he brought Xin Ling with him into the realm.

“Such an incredible treasure, if only we could obtain it,” Song Jian’s eyes gleamed with desire. Such a weapon could be used without a longbow and could deliver a strike of divine level power; it had to be a divine treasure. He hadn’t expected even the guardians of the Dragon Palace Treasure to be such divine-grade treasures, so the collection inside must be even more precious!

“With these three God-slaying Arrows, at least five or six creatures of the Legendary Realm could be slain. It’s a pity; such treasures are meant for combating divine level powerhouses…” Song Jian looked at the God-slaying Arrows and whispered with a low chuckle.
