I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1474: Relics Chapter 1472: Chapter 1474: Relics With the emergence of relic anomalies, a series of bizarre traces streaked across the sky.

Boom~
A rift in the void tore open, and a golden-furred ape, eyes wide, leapt out of the void with a laugh, its aura revealing it to be a Demi-God Level powerhouse.

Following that, a clap of thunder sounded, and a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky. A being, with plasma coursing over its body and wielding a thunder trident, eyes continuously flashing with the light of thunder emerged in the void. The Lord of Thunder, another Demi-God Level powerhouse, made his appearance.

Boom~
An explosion resounded, flames suddenly blazing in the void and swiftly engulfing half the sky. In a short amount of time, the flames reached the vicinity of the golden-furred ape and the Lord of Thunder.

The golden-furred ape snorted coldly, stretching his right hand towards the void and pulling out a massive iron rod, smashing it towards the sweeping flames. Meanwhile, the Lord of Thunder, holding his thunder trident, lightly tipped it forward, and the light of thunder burst forth, instantly flashing with numerous bolts like a vast net spreading rapidly in the air, directly shattering a large swathe of flames into oblivion.

In the void, a muffled grunt could be heard; evidently, a combined strike from two Demi-God Level powerhouses was not easily borne. The flames quickly drew back, occupying a third of the sky, revealing a Fire Elemental Elf engulfed in flames, glaring at the two Demi-God Level powerhouses with an expression of angered dissatisfaction on its face.

The golden-furred ape laughed heartily, casting a disdainful glance at the Fire Elemental Elf and cursing in his heart, “Idiot!”

One must know that both the Fire Elemental Elf and the Lord of Thunder belonged to Elemental Beings, sharing a certain base of trust when allied. But now, the Fire Elemental Elf had personally squandered that trust.

“Who’s lurking there, show yourself!” The Fire Elemental Elf roared and hurled a massive fireball into the void. Having comprehended the Law of Flames, even a casually unleashed spell was almost as powerful as a taboo curse.

Feeling the terror of the incoming fireball, several warriors of the Legendary Realm below who were engaged in battle tacitly fled in all directions. After all, their lives were more important than any Sky Trace orb. Only bloodthirsty beasts like the Blood Ox or the Golden-Eyed Tiger Demon were foolish enough to lose their lives over a mere Sky Trace orb.

Boom~
The sound of explosions, akin to thunder, erupted in the void as the flames raged, burning fiercely. In the midst of the flames, a figure with a wry smile on his face emerged.

“The temperament of Fire Elemental Elves is indeed fierce. Now that I’ve seen it for myself, it really lives up to its reputation. Haha, I am Xiao Jingshan of Xuan Tian Sect, and I have seen the likes of you fine powerhouses!” An elderly Daoist with white hair, dressed in a Taoist robe marked with the Yin-Yang symbol, holding a white jade whisk in his hand, his wrinkled face as if carved with knives, his eyes shining like stars, radiating a brilliant light.

Upon hearing the words Xuan Tian Sect, even the raging Fire Elemental Elf instinctively reined in its flames and sneered, “So, it’s the old Taoist from Xuan Tian Sect. You must’ve arrived here long ago, hiding on the side, certainly with ill intent. Are you planning to ambush us?”

Xiao Jingshan, the Taoist True Lord, displayed a helpless expression and said, “My friends, did you even know you would be here a minute ago? If you yourselves cannot control your whereabouts, how could I possibly lie in wait for you? Besides, have you ever seen a Demi-God Level being lying in ambush for three others of the same level?”

“Hahaha, don’t beat around the bush, old Xiao. We three came for the relics. First, let’s see what kind of relic it is. If it’s just a relic left by a warrior from the Legendary Realm, I’ll turn around and leave!” The golden-furred ape laughed heartily, tossing the massive iron rod over his shoulder, and stood in the void with ease.

On the other side, the Lord of Thunder, his speech thunderous and each word seeming like a blast of thunder, declared, “The same goes for me!”

The Fire Elf snorted coldly and pointed at Xiao Jingshan, saying, “Scraggly old Daoist, three months ago, your Human Race surrounded and killed three Legendary Realm powerhouses of my Fire Elf clan, winning through numbers. What kind of hero does that make you? Today, I have claimed these ruins. Scram, or else beware that I burn you to the point where not even your bones remain!”

Daoist True Lord Xiao Jingshan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. He lightly waved his whisk and chuckled, “A mere fire given spirit, born with innate gifts to tread the path of Dao, yet so arrogant. My Alchemy Furnace is in need of a fire spirit child, and you seem quite suitable, haha. How about following this lord and becoming an alchemy child?”

Having said that, Daoist True Lord Xiao Jingshan gently flicked his whisk toward the Fire Elf and shouted, “Begone!”

A beam of spiritual light shot toward the Fire Elf. Midway, the light transformed into a net over a hundred meters in diameter, shimmering with a pale blue light. Each strand of the net was brimming with a strong aura of water elements.

At the same moment, a talisman appeared in the sky!

“Bind!”

The talisman glowed brightly, freezing the space-time around the Fire Elf within a radius of several hundred meters.

Seeing this, the golden-furred ape’s eyes flickered. It exchanged a glance with the Lord of Thunder, both seeing a deep wariness in the other’s eyes. When had Xiao Jingshan released that talisman? They hadn’t noticed at all. This meant that if they ever clashed with Xiao Jingshan, they would likely be at an immediate disadvantage.

The Fire Elf’s flames surged, and an oppressive force descended from above, causing its Law Domain to slowly contract. Meanwhile, the water-element net, vibrant as it flew and trembled at the edges, grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a huge canopy that covered the daylight, enveloping the Fire Elf’s entire Law Domain.

“The Law of Flames, burning the void, everything shall turn to ash!” The Fire Elf roared furiously. In an instant, its aura soared, and within a hundred-meter radius, the area became an ocean of flames. The fierce flames seemed to burn a great hole in the void, surrounded by shattered cracks. Through the hole, even the distant stars could be seen.

Daoist True Lord Xiao Jingshan frowned slightly and snorted coldly. With a sweep of his whisk, the descent of the water-element net quickened, swiftly covering the Fire Elf and its Law Domain.

Sssss~
The Power of Law resisted against each other. After all, the Fire Elf was a Demi-God Level powerhouse. With the Flame Domain fully deployed, for a time, it managed a stalemate against Xiao Jingshan’s net. Although the net was slowly closing in, Xiao Jingshan had no immediate way to defeat the Fire Elf.

Glancing at the golden-furred ape and the Lord of Thunder standing by as if watching a show, Xiao Jingshan steeled his resolve. He had chosen to target the Fire Elf also because it had once attempted to attack the two Demi-God Level powerhouses. Now it seemed that the two were indeed choosing to be bystanders.

On another side, the golden-furred ape and the Lord of Thunder made eye contact, seeing each other’s intentions–they wanted Xiao Jingshan and the Fire Elf to fight first and wear each other out. As for the ruins, they were only showing anomalies and had not completely opened yet. There was still time, just enough to wait for the outcome of their battle. If the ruins belonged to a Demi-God Level or even more powerful divine being, then whoever would eventually win would be too weakened to compete for the ruins against them.

At this moment, Song Jian was fixated on the Void Mantis from before. The Void Mantis was severely injured–one of its compound eyes had been burst and one of its blade-like forelimbs had been broken. Its body bore at least seven or eight wounds, slowly oozing pale-green blood.

Song Jian pointed at the Void Mantis and said in a low voice, “The eye of the Poh Tian Hsein is on its body!”
