I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1498

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1500: Backlash Chapter 1498: Chapter 1500: Backlash Whoosh~
Before Tai Lansuo’s eyes, a flash of white light flickered, and a sting of pain crossed his cheek. When he reached up to touch it, a smear of blood emerged on his palm.

“How could this be…” Fear crept into Tai Lansuo’s eyes. His nearly hundred-layer crystalline defense had held for less than ten seconds before being breached. The Chaos Sword gleam was able to wound his body, yet the figure of his opponent seemed to vanish into the shadows of the void, completely eluding Tai Lansuo’s detection.

As countless Chaos Sword gleams swarmed before his eyes, growing rather than diminishing, a hint of despair showed in Tai Lansuo’s eyes.

“I shouldn’t have used the Solidification Domain. The moment the sword gleams appeared, I should have fled thousands of miles away!”

That was the last thought that flashed through Tai Lansuo’s mind as the final scene before his eyes was of countless sword gleams, like sharks smelling blood, lunging toward him and instantly filling his entire field of vision.

Tai Lansuo was dead, instantly killed by Song Jian with a single move.

Countless Chaos Sword gleams devoured Tai Lansuo. In the face of this move, any defensive force was like an illusion, shattering upon contact.

After a brief silence, the Human Race finally erupted into cheers, astonished that Song Jian had truly managed to slay the opponent with third-order Combat Power, and it was an instant kill!

With Tai Lansuo’s death, Song Jian’s figure slowly became visible, his complexion pale.

Using third-order Combat Power to execute the Chaos Sword Canon had caused him some backlash, a sword technique that should only be practiced by those in the Legendary Realm!

“Next!” Song Jian looked toward the dense crowd of foreign races in front and said indifferently.

“He’s been backlash by the sword technique and won’t be able to use that move again!” a foreign race demigod-level powerhouse said lightly.

“Even if he can’t use that move, daring to continue the fight, he likely still has an ace up his sleeve…” another demigod-level powerhouse frowned slightly.

With Song Jian’s strength, these demigod powerhouses could crush him with a single finger. Were it not for his identity as a disciple of the sword sect, it’s unlikely he would have attracted the attention of any demigod powerhouses.

To demigod powerhouses, a battle in the Legendary Realm was considered insignificant, akin to how adults might view a scuffle between two three-year-olds.

Yet Song Jian’s move was so terrifying that it intimidated many Holy Children and maidens, and even the demi-God Level Holy Children wrinkled their brows, staying silent.

Hearing that Song Jian could no longer perform that devastating move, several Holy Children’s eyes lit up, exchanging glances before one of them could not contain themselves and burst forth.

“Human prodigy, I’ll fight you!”

Song Jian looked up and saw a Holy Child before him covered in thick scales, with horns on his head, and two sets of fleshy wings on his back that, when spread, resembled shields.

“The Lizard Clan, or…” Song Jian frowned slightly.

The Holy Child before him resembled a humanoid lizard, with a thick tail dragging behind and a pair of wings that fluttered twice, deceptively quick as he flew toward Song Jian.

“Tata Clan Holy Child, Modo, please advise!”

Song Jian narrowed his eyes and sized up this self-proclaimed Tata Clan Holy Child before him. The fluctuations of energy emanating from the other party revealed that he was a pinnacle Legendary Realm powerhouse.

This caused Song Jian’s brows to furrow slightly.

“The second opponent is already a pinnacle Legendary Realm powerhouse; will demi-God Level powerhouses start appearing after him?”

The mission “Holy Child’s Path” required that one must defeat or kill three divine sons or holy daughters, and the second divine son that emerged before Song Jian wielded the pinnacle of Legendary Realm strength. Song Jian still had confidence, but once he emerged victorious, the consequence would be either retreating or, more likely, facing even stronger challengers–divine sons or holy daughters of Demi-God Level!

Song Jian was weighing his options, but in Modo’s eyes, Song Jian seemed to take him lightly. Even when Modo revealed his identity, Song Jian appeared to be distracted, thinking about other things. To Modo, this dismissal was an insult.

“Kill!”

Anger flashed in Modo’s eyes, and with a low shout, he emitted a faint red aura as his Domain Power instantly activated to its fullest extent.

Modo did not dare hold back against Song Jian’s strength, displaying the full might of his peak Legendary Realm capacity.

The faint red Domain Power enveloped Song Jian in an instant, and for a moment, Song Jian’s movements stalled as if he had fallen into an illusion.

Dream Realm Domain!

A sneer curled up at the corner of Modo’s mouth. Who would have thought that a burly brute like him had mastered the Dream Realm Domain, a domain with enchanting attributes?

Whatever he wished for could materialize; such was the terrifying nature of the Dream Realm Domain. Many people, even when they realized they were in a dreamscape, still couldn’t bear to leave. In the Dream Realm, all regrets could be mended, and that feeling of regaining what was lost was worth even one’s life to some, even if it was just a temporary, false illusion.

Seeing the bewildered look in Song Jian’s eyes, a cold smile appeared on Modo’s lips.

A third-tier combatant, who hadn’t even grasped the power of a Domain, might wield some over-tier combat techniques, but before the power of a Domain, they had already lost before the battle even began.

“My battle axe, even if I were to chop off his head, I doubt he would wake from the beautiful dream he has woven!” Modo thought to himself. His giant axe was already raised high, chopping down toward Song Jian’s neck.

Clang~
A crisp collision sound rang out, and Modo felt a formidable force transmitted from his axe, causing a surge of shock. He looked up.

Song Jian’s eyes were clear and bright, gazing at Modo with a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“I didn’t expect that you could understand the Dream Realm Domain, truly…” Song Jian looked at Modo, who was like a behemoth before him, wondering how Modo had comprehended the Dream Realm Domain. Could it be that within the heart of every strong man dwells a young girl?

“How could you…” Fear flashed across Modo’s face.

“Die!” Song Jian sighed, and around his body, swords ablaze with dark red flames appeared.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art!

A giant red lotus engulfed Modo entirely, with numerous Spirit Swords dancing within the Sword Formation, as if Modo were facing thousands of Swordmen at once.

The dark red flames scorched Modo’s scales, and the purifying power crept through his body with the flames, continuously eroding it. Digits of damage in the tens of thousands floated above Modo’s head.

If Tai Lansuo had been instantly beheaded, then Modo was being torn apart second by second. With Song Jian’s current strength, Modo would need to be at least three to four times stronger to break out of the Sword Formation.

Listening to Modo’s screams from within the Sword Formation, Song Jian’s heart was serene. He had no intention of evolving the Sword Formation further; he just wanted to kill Modo in this manner so that Modo’s death would be prolonged and more agonizing.

“This is the price for forcing me to kill her with my own hands!” A tear streaked down Song Jian’s cheek and evaporated before it could fall, disappearing without a trace.
