I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1543

Chapter 1543: Chapter 1544 Absolute Defense Chapter 1543: Chapter 1544 Absolute Defense Song Jian looked back with some trepidation, though the spatial rift had already disappeared, the aftershocks caused by the spatial fragmentation still lingered. These aftershocks alone could shatter some professionals of the third-order combat power.

“Terrifying, mere professionals with third-order combat power, actually exhibited the strength of a Demi-God level powerhouse…” Song Jian’s heart skipped a beat. Such teams, the Church of Light surely had more than one. Third-order combat power might be considered high among players, but it was nothing in the game world where even those of the Legendary Realm counted for little, for this is a world in the presence of deities.

Yet a group of players with third-order combat power had nearly killed Song Jian. If it weren’t for the Shattered Divine Realm, if he hadn’t detected the danger of the spatial fracture at the last moment, Song Jian would have likely been killed this time, even with the Enemy of Death God powerless to help.

After all, the range of the spatial collapse was too vast and lasted long enough that even after deploying the Enemy of Death God, Song Jian could have been killed again by the collapse.

Kalius, a priest soaring towards the Blood-red Canyon in the distance, suddenly lost the sense of connection with the Punishment Squad, and his complexion changed drastically. His speed abruptly increased, like a loosed Light Arrow.

“Song Jian!”

A furious shout came from afar, and Song Jian looked up to see a tiny speck of light that at first was minuscule but turned into a fist-sized orb within a few blinks. Then a figure flew towards him from afar, with a pair of resplendent wings shedding light sparkles as they moved.

“Church of Light!” Song Jian narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing that the person before him was a priest of the Church of Light with the peak strength of the Legendary Realm.

A cold smile appeared on Song Jian’s mouth, “Is this a case of ‘the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa,’ eagerly rushing to meet their deaths?”

With a thought, Song Jian rose into the air, the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand slashing towards Kalius. In an instant, countless Spirit Swords materialized, surrounding Kalius and relentlessly striking him.

Kalius’s pure white wings at his back, coated with holy light as though conscious, fluttered quickly to repel the Spirit Swords. Meanwhile, Kalius himself swung the cross-shaped Lightsaber in his hand towards Song Jian.

Song Jian paused. At this moment, Kalius resembled a war hero breaking into enemy ranks, utterly disregarding the soldiers around him, focused only on taking down the enemy general.

“One must not underestimate the Church of Light, just a white-robed priest and so fierce, and his strength is not a bit less powerful than the red-robed priest I encountered before!” Song Jian inwardly lauded, engaging Kalius in a frenzied battle with his sword.

What Song Jian didn’t know was that Kalius’s strength had already reached that of a red-robed priest, only he had yet to undergo the promotion ceremony. Once the promotion to a red-robed priest was carried out, Kalius would receive God of Light’s blessing, becoming a genuine red-robed priest.

Red Dust Tribulation!

With a thought from Song Jian, his figure suddenly disappeared from in front of Kalius, replaced by dazzling chaotic sword lights.

Kalius sensed the terror of the chaotic sword lights and, without any hesitation, deployed his skill of last resort to save himself.

Absolute Defense!

A brilliant golden radiance burst forth from Kalius’s body, enveloping him like an elliptical golden giant egg.

Clang, clang, clang~
The Chaos Sword Energy slashed relentlessly at the golden light barrier, sparking off clusters of golden flecks, but failed to produce a single digit of damage, floating above Kalius’s head. Evidently, even the Chaos Sword Energy couldn’t breach Kalius’s “Absolute Defense”!

This was the first time since Song Jian had mastered the Red Dust Tribulation that he encountered a defense the Chaos Sword Energy couldn’t crack. It shocked him since the damage of the Chaos Sword Energy was incredibly high, its cutting edge far surpassing weapons of Legendary quality, slicing through any defense like tofu, but today it had met its match.

“Absolute Defense, this seems somewhat akin to the ‘invincibility’ skill in some games…” Song Jian thought to himself.

With a thought, the Chaos Sword Energy disappeared, and Song Jian’s figure slowly emerged in the void, looking at Kalius with a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, as Song Jian had anticipated oddly enough, once Kalius used his Absolute Defense skill, he could only remain in a passive defensive state, incapable of attacking.

With this realization, Song Jian’s Time Domain immediately started to erode Kalius’s Light Domain at full force. Owing to the maintenance of the Absolute Defense skill, Kalius’s Light Domain was quickly eroded by the Time Domain over a large area, completely enveloping Kalius.

“Domain power is useless too, Absolute Defense touches upon the application range of divine power, it can fend off even the Power of Law, let alone Domain Power!” Kalius looked at Song Jian, his face showing a disdainful expression, believing his opponent’s efforts were futile.

But soon, Kalius’s face drastically changed. He realized that the originally ten-minute duration of the Absolute Domain was rapidly ticking down at an alarming rate, dropping from ten minutes straight to eight, then down to five and the countdown continued, with each tick sending chills down Kalius’s spine.

“How is this possible, what exactly does his Domain Power entail that it can even affect Absolute Defense…” Kalius said in shock.

Though Song Jian’s Time Domain couldn’t break through Kalius’s defense, it could certainly disrupt the duration.

“Time Domain, you’ve actually mastered the Time Domain…” Kalius seemed to have come to a realization, looking at Song Jian with eyes filled with intense wariness.

Boom~
A soft sound rang out as the golden light shield of Kalius’s Absolute Domain suddenly shattered–not because Song Jian’s attack had penetrated the defense, but because the duration of Absolute Defense had ended!

From the initial ten minutes to finally lasting less than a minute, the power of Song Jian’s Time Domain filled Kalius with terror. He felt like a naked infant exposed in the icy, snow-covered wilderness.

“His mastery over the Time Domain is profound, he might soon break through to the Time Law. Once he controls the Time Law, once unleashed with full force, even deities might be affected…” Kalius thought fearfully.

For a moment, Kalius’s will to fight drastically fell, and he couldn’t help but step backward, thinking of fleeing. But how could Song Jian let this opportunity slip by? As soon as the Absolute Domain’s time ended, Song Jian had already executed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art!

Countless crimson Spirit Swords formed a vast Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation. Its intense suction made it nearly impossible for Kalius to move. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, deployed by a Legendary Realm powerhouse, greatly amplified in strength. Not to mention a peak Legendary Realm powerhouse, even a Demi-God Level being couldn’t escape the mighty pull of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation.
