I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1509: Chapter 1511: Domain Crystal Chapter 1509: Chapter 1511: Domain Crystal Song Jian’s eyes narrowed as he looked towards the dark shadow ahead. In an instant, the once vague silhouette became crystal clear in his vision, and its attributes naturally appeared in front of Song Jian’s eyes.

The shadow was cloaked in a black, tattered cape that seemed to have been weathered beyond repair around the edges. From within the cape emerged a translucent phantom that resembled a soul, and within the hood of the cape, a pair of crimson eyes stared unblinkingly at the two men, while the half-transparent face displayed a ferocious expression.

“Undead Guardian!” Song Jian called out loudly, “This is a guardian of the tomb, be careful, one hundred and twenty-five level, early stage of Legendary Realm!”

Zhao Tianyang, who had been somewhat nervous, immediately relaxed upon hearing that it was just an early stage creature of the Legendary Realm.

“Brother Song, with your strength, killing it shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Zhao Tianyang said with a smile.

Song Jian had previously consecutively defeated three Legendary Realm demigods of different races, and his fame had already spread throughout the Human Race’s settlement, making him a well-known figure. Almost everyone knew that although Song Jian only possessed third-order combat power, his true strength enabled him to slay those at the peak of Legendary Realm.

“Be cautious. I suspect it’s immune to physical attacks!” Song Jian summoned the Sky-breaking Sword and rushed towards the undead.

With a thought, countless Spirit Swords appeared and flew towards the Undead Guardian. The blades of Spirit Swords passed through the body of the Undead Guardian, above whom “MISS” floated up, but soon after, flames dealt over twenty thousand points of damage each rose from the Undead Guardian’s head.

“Immune to physical attacks, but it seems to have negative resistance to fire damage, plus the Red Lotus Karma Fire inherently has the effect of purification, doubling the damage against it!” Seeing the damage, Song Jian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were a physical class player facing such a creature, it would have been a headache, but for Song Jian, the Red Lotus Karma Fire sheathing the Spirit Swords alone was enough to kill the Undead Guardian before him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
The Spirit Swords continuously pierced through the body of the Undead Guardian, and in no time, the Undead Guardian turned into grey ashes that floated down from the air, never coming within five meters of Song Jian.

“Amazing, amazing!” Zhao Tianyang complimented from the side, feeling extremely astonished. He had not expected that an Undead Guardian, immune to physical damage and at the Legendary Realm, would be as helpless as a child against Song Jian, with no power to fight back.

After the death of the Undead Guardian, a black polyhedral crystal fell from the air, which looked like a perfectly cut black diamond, twinkling with dazzling light.

With a thought, Song Jian extended his left hand, and the black crystal, as if drawn by some force, flew into his hand.

“Undead Crystal, forging material, can be used as the core of an Undead puppet; after using it, there’s a certain chance to comprehend the Domain Power!” Song Jian examined the attributes of the crystal.

“Is this, is this a Domain Crystal?” Zhao Tianyang’s eyes lit up, his face full of surprise.

“Domain Crystal?” Song Jian was taken aback, it was clearly an Undead Crystal, why did Zhao Tianyang call it a Domain Crystal?

Seeing Song Jian’s confusion, Zhao Tianyang took the initiative to explain, saying, “This crystal contains Domain Power, which can help one to quickly comprehend the power of a domain. The competition at the Legendary Realm is actually a comparison of Domain Power, whoever has a deeper understanding and control of Domain Power will have the advantage in battle!”

“Brother Song must have also grasped Domain Power, otherwise, it would not be possible for him to slay warriors of the Legendary Realm with only third-order Combat Power!” Zhao Tianyang said with a smile, “To comprehend Domain Power with third-order Combat Power, in history, there have only been five individuals who have achieved this!”

Song Jian offered a slight smile but didn’t speak. If he hadn’t grasped Domain Power and had the ability to resist the Domain Power of warriors of the Legendary Realm, how could he possibly have slain them?

After Song Jian successively slaughtered three Legendary Realm warriors, although most people didn’t know what kind of Domain Song Jian had comprehended, there was no doubt that Song Jian had mastered Domain Power.

“Such a Domain Crystal is worth about five thousand merit points!” Zhao Tianyang said enviously, “No wonder so many people are willing to enter the Bloody Arena. This place truly is a treasure land…”
Song Jian just laughed and didn’t care much. The most precious aspect of Domain Crystals was the Domain Power contained within them, but the power in this crystal was that of the Undead Domain, which only undead creatures would appreciate. Any living being who dared to try to comprehend such Domain Power would end up becoming an undead creature.

“The Undead Domain isn’t worth much merit, I suppose!” said Song Jian with a laugh.

“That’s not necessarily true!” Zhao Tianyang shook his head and whispered, “To some people, Undead Domain Crystals are highly sought after at a high price. After all, undead creatures, so long as they are not annihilated, can become immortal…”
Song Jian’s heart stirred. If it were true as Zhao Tianyang said, then this Domain Crystal containing the Undead Domain might fetch a higher price than other regular Domain Crystals.

“The most important thing is, living beings simply cannot comprehend the Undead Domain. Only with an Undead Crystal is there a certain chance to grasp it, and upon comprehending the Undead Domain with an Undead Crystal, one does not die immediately. Instead, the body is slowly eroded by the Force of Death and gradually transforms into a member of the Undead Clan!” Zhao Tianyang continued, “This transformation allows one to retain memories and remain cognizant as much as possible. The only downside is that the transformation into the Undead Clan takes a long time, and it is very painful!”

“Compared to immortality, that bit of pain should be acceptable, right?” Song Jian said with a smile.

“That’s not necessarily so!” Zhao Tianyang shook his head again, “Not to mention whether one can truly comprehend the Undead Domain just with an Undead Domain Crystal, even if one really comprehends it, the transformation process can take years, or even over a decade. The feeling of the body slowly decaying and falling apart is too much for many to endure until the end…”
The two continued to walk along the passage, and as they went, Song Jian made markings at the intersections. Faced with a maze-like terrain, they had to resort to such crude methods.

After an indeterminate amount of time, just when both had started to feel numb, they suddenly came across an open area.

This place seemed to be a large hall that had been transformed from an underground cavern, covering a vast area with black stone slabs laid out on the floor. In the center of the hall stood a huge statue ten zhang tall.

In front of the statue, there was an altar. The two legendary powerhouse foreign princes Song Jian had encountered before were now kneeling before the altar, emitting a rich scent of blood from their bodies.

Seeing the eerie scene before them, Song Jian and his companion involuntarily stopped in their tracks, looking ahead with a vigilant expression.
