I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1579: Chapter 1580: Breakthrough Chapter 1579: Chapter 1580: Breakthrough The Thousand Swords Art was immensely powerful, and now that it had ascended to a Divine skill, each use could inflict tens of millions of damage without even forming the Blazing Fire Furnace Sword Formation. Even if the Centaur King was a demi-god level entity, it could deal a serious blow with a single strike, but it was merely at the peak of the Legendary Realm now, and yet it was able to withstand the Thousand Swords Art, which left Song Jian incredibly surprised.

“Impressive!” Song Jian couldn’t help but exclaim. Usually, it was he who was of lower level, overcoming the strong with the weak. Now, facing the Centaur King at the peak of the Legendary Realm, he was the one with overwhelming advantage. Unexpectedly, his effort yielded no results.

After unleashing that move, the Centaur King’s face revealed a trace of exhaustion, clearly indicating that it was a major skill with enormous consumption, rarely used in normal circumstances.

“You pitiful crawler!” The Centaur King’s eyes, clear for a moment, were once again taken over by madness and brutality. With a roar, it lunged at Song Jian, the weapon in its hands bursting with dazzling light, as if capable of piercing the sky itself.

Chaos Sword Canon, Divine Demise!

Song Jian shouted loudly, wielding his Sky-breaking Sword and slashing fiercely towards the Centaur King’s war spear.

Huge gray Sword Qi slashes fell from the sky, merging into one and colliding violently with the war spear;
Boom!

A loud collision sounded, the earth and rocks on the ground jumped fiercely up, then disintegrated into dust. The overflowing force carved deep grooves into the ground, leaving the entire surface as if it had been plowed.

The formidable strength forced the Centaur King to stagger backwards, its hands holding the war spear trembling violently, and a bloody gash appeared at the base of its thumb.

This strike was a huge loss for the Centaur King; in terms of skills and attributes, it was completely outmatched by Song Jian, unable to withstand the damage from Divine Demise. Staggering backward, if not for its four legs providing strong stability, that strike might have directly sent it flying.

“Human, you’re not at the Legendary Realm…” A look of clarity flashed through the Centaur King’s eyes again, followed by a glimpse of fear.

“Guess!” Song Jian laughed, not giving it the chance to continue speaking. He charged forward, engaging the Centaur King in close combat. Meanwhile, Zhang Hong revealed a look of surprise. The Centaur King’s words echoed in his mind.

“Not at the Legendary Realm, not at the Legendary Realm, then what realm is Song Jian’s strength at? Could it be… No, it can’t be!” Zhang Hong was startled by his own thoughts, instinctively trying to reject them, but seeing Song Jian, with merely a one-handed sword, constantly suppress the legendary realm peak Guardian Boss, the Centaur King, a look of shock finally appeared on his face.

“He, he hasn’t even used his full strength…” Zhang Hong couldn’t help but step back, finally understanding the source of the dread in his heart. It turned out, Song Jian’s strength had risen to such a degree.

Boom~
With another swing of his sword, Song Jian sent the Centaur King flying against the outer wall of the temple. The powerful body, now covered in numerous scars with more than a dozen sword wounds, was stained red with blood.

“Could it be that I’m going to die here? I’m not willing, not willing at all!” The Centaur King’s face showed an expression of resentful anger. It had sacrificed an entire empire and, as a result, had fallen to become a half-demon creature, but it had never ascended to the demi-god level. One could only imagine the bitterness in its heart.

Just then, a light laugh reached the ears of the Centaur King: “Haven’t you made your decision yet? Do you really want to die here? If so, what was the meaning of everything you’ve done before?”

“Devil, devil, you’re just a devil, I’ll never trust your words again, I will never trust you…” The centaur king’s face was full of fear as he shook his head repeatedly, muttering to himself.

“You’re going to die, you’re going to die, the opponent is at the demi-god level, but if you just power up, you can defeat him, you can have eternal life…” The whispering voice by his ear was full of temptation. The centaur king’s thoughts finally wavered, the wall of belief that had stood for so long collapsed with a thunderous crash, and a jet-black aura, like ink, began to surface in his eyes…

Song Jian charged toward the centaur king; he was less than three meters away from him when suddenly he felt a chill throughout his body, as if a big hand clutched his heart and gave it a hard squeeze. A huge sense of threat hit him head-on.

Instinctively, Song Jian stopped in his tracks and looked at the centaur king. At that moment, the centaur king’s body began to emit copious amounts of black aura. This black aura continued to surge, enveloping him completely. The black aura drifted and coalesced into the shape of a skull laughing wildly toward the sky, appearing quite terrifying.

And the centaur king’s originally somewhat withered aura began to rise rapidly as well, as if all the damage he had taken was being reversed.

Now, the black aura had completely wrapped around the centaur king, who from a distance looked like a colossal black egg. Song Jian could not discern any changes within.

He tentatively lashed out with a few strands of Sword Qi, but as soon as they entered the black aura, they disappeared without a trace, stirring not a single ripple.

“All must die!” An enraged roar erupted from the black sphere, and a pillar of black light burst forth, shooting into the sky. Moments later, a centaur king whose size had doubled, radiating black aura, with rows of fierce bone spines growing along his spine, and a head transformed into that of a hellish demon, burst out from the black sphere. Roaring, he charged at Song Jian.

“Has he broken through?” Song Jian’s brow furrowed slightly. This fully demonized centaur king had broken through the peak of the Legendary Realm and become a being at the demi-god level.

“Die!” With an angry roar, the centaur king lifted his front hooves high, then fiercely stomped down toward the ground.

Boom~
A loud noise erupted, and two deep hoof prints appeared in the hard ground. A shockwave spread out in all directions, and the floor shook violently like waves, spreading outward.

Song Jian was firmly pinned to the ground, watching helplessly as the shockwave rushed towards him. In an instant, the ground trembled violently beneath his feet, tossing him around. His balance lost, he was thrown up by the shockwave, only to crash heavily back to the ground.

At this moment, in Song Jian’s status bar, an effect labeled “Sluggishness” appeared. Surprisingly, this negative effect was triggered by a divine ability; even Song Jian’s innate ability, Immortal Body, could neither immunize against nor weaken the effect.

With his mobility impaired, the demonized centaur king brandished his war spear and charged at Song Jian. Unable to dodge, Song Jian gritted his teeth and directly executed his Sword Qi Clone. Two identical figures appeared before the centaur king’s eyes.

“Die!”

For a moment, the centaur king couldn’t distinguish which was real and which was false. In the midst of his charge, he unexpectedly changed his move from a stab to a sweep, attempting to encompass both figures in his attack.
