I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1588: Skull Chapter 1587: Chapter 1588: Skull Song Jian’s inadvertent actions had provided the Desolation God with a method to escape the suppression;
The Demon Suppression Seal seemingly only targeted the original body of the Desolation God. The body reborn from a drop of blood was unexpectedly unaffected by the constraints of the seal, a discovery that neither Song Jian nor the Desolation God had anticipated.

Witnessing the Desolation God deliberately break off its own right arm, Song Jian’s heart sank. At that moment, the Blazing Fire Furnace was rapidly devouring the Desolation God’s left arm, slowly extracting bits of divinity. Regrettably, being only an arm, it ultimately yielded a mere one-third of a point of divinity.

Then, as if the Blazing Fire Furnace sensed the existence of another arm, a pulling force came forth, swallowing the right arm the Desolation God had twisted off. The Red Lotus Karma Fire raged fiercely, melting down the other arm within the furnace. However, not a trace of joy was visible on Song Jian’s face.

“I must seize this moment and eradicate it quickly, or it will soon completely break free from the shackles of the Demon Suppression Seal,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Just then, the Desolation God, now with two re-grown arms, burst into loud laughter. It tightly grasped the golden chains that bound its body and struggled to break free with all its might.

But what followed was a surge of golden lightning erupting from the chains, blasting onto the arms of the Desolation God.

Beast-like howls resounded as the Desolation God’s face twisted in agony. The freshly grown arms were mangled and torn, exposing dark gold bones.

Seeing that the chains couldn’t be broken for the time being, the Desolation God looked towards its own legs.

Whoosh~
Two streaks of white light flashed by, and the arms of the Desolation God, sharp as blades, sliced through its thighs, severing both legs as well.

With its support gone, the Desolation God, hanging midair by the strength of the golden chains, gasped heavily. Clearly, this act of self-harm was causing it immense damage.

The two legs, like massive pillars, crashed to the ground and were then swept up by the Blazing Fire Furnace. In just over a minute, the Blazing Fire Furnace had smelted both arms and legs of the Desolation God, providing Song Jian with a total of six points of divinity.

This amount of divinity was almost equivalent to slaying a demi-god level powerhouse at their peak state.

“Truly worthy of a divine being, merely limbs contain so much divinity; but even if you escape with your limbs, you still have your torso and head. I refuse to believe you can resurrect again after destroying your own torso and head!” Song Jian muttered to himself, gripping the Sky-breaking Sword tightly in his hand.

Without hesitation, Song Jian allocated the six points of divinity to the Chaos Sword Canon. Soon, the proficiency of the Chaos Sword Canon visibly soared at an astonishing rate, and in a short while, it reached level six;
The Chaos Sword Canon required too much divinity to improve. Even six points of divinity didn’t make a significant increase, let alone learning new sword techniques.

Watching as the Desolation God once again grew two new legs and struggled frantically, Song Jian swung the Sky-breaking Sword, charging at it with the Chaos Sword Canon.

Countless sword energies clashed against the body of the Desolation God, leaving numerous scars, with damages in the hundreds of thousands floating above its head.

But the Desolation God barely even regarded Song Jian, swatting around its arms as if dealing with a fly. The golden chains constantly released lightning, relentlessly striking the Desolation God, inflicting even greater damage than Song Jian. At this point, it was as if Song Jian was allied with the Demon Suppression Seal, attacking the Desolation God together.

The Desolation God continuously struggled, freeing its limbs from the shackles that bound it. Many of the chains that shackled it had been rendered ineffective, leaving only more than a dozen penetrating its torso and skull, constraining it.

The Red Dust Tribulation, a divine skill, would be executed immediately by Song Jian as soon as the cooldown ended, incessantly slashing at the Desolation God’s body. Above it, the Blazing Fire Furnace was also suppressing it from overhead.

Boom~
The entire body of the Desolation God burst apart, only its head, the size of a room, remained, constrained by the dozen or so chains that pierced it. The immense body, like a collapsing mountain, exploded in pieces, even the limbs that had just regrown were shattered.

In an instant, a powerful suction force emanated from the Blazing Fire Furnace, drawing in all the scattered remains of the Desolation God’s body to start smelting. The Desolation God, now reduced to a mere head, burst into laughter.

As its target was lost, almost four-fifths of the chains became ineffective, their golden radiance gradually faded and turned back to pitch-black, powerlessly drooping down.

Most of the golden runes on the surrounding rock walls also dimmed, disappearing into the walls.

The Desolation God, now only a head, showed no signs of dejection but instead was extremely excited, laughing heartily as if seeing a glimmer of hope for escape.

Rumble, rumble~
The Blazing Fire Furnace sounded thunderously, continuously smelting the Desolation God’s body, while the head was quickly re-gathering its body. However, reconstructing such a massive body was not something that could be accomplished in a brief period.

Song Jian’s expression was impassive. By now, the Vitality Points of the Desolation God had dropped to about a fifth of what they had been, but this fifth amounted to nearly eighty million points, far exceeding that of a typical Demi-God Level being in their prime state.

“You base worm, I can smell the odor of the Imperial Sword Sect on you…” The Desolation God, now merely a head, had largely regained its senses and was no longer the beast-like presence bound in chains as before.

“I will kill you, kill all from the Imperial Sword Sect. My Desolate Beast Army will completely obliterate the sect in this realm, severing your lineage,” the Desolation God bellowed.

Chaos Sword Qi kept striking the Desolation God’s skull, sparks flying as if hacking at a piece of hard alloy steel, leaving only shallow white marks on the surface of the head and dealing merely triple-digit damage–a level of damage reduction that even Song Jian had never before encountered.

“You all shall die!” the head roared vehemently. In an instant, the speed of its bodily reconstruction accelerated. In a short while, most of its body had been reformed, and simultaneously, its limbs began to regrow.

This level of body reconstruction was something even Demi-God Level powerhouses couldn’t achieve, verging on immortality.

Song Jian’s face darkened, the damage from the Chaos Sword Canon to the Desolation God’s skull being so minimal was completely unexpected. Seeing the Desolation God’s body fully reconstructed, Song Jian suddenly felt the urge to abandon the mission and turn away, despite the Desolation God’s Vitality Points being less than a fifth of what they once were.

Clatter, clatter~
The Desolation God gripped the dozen or so golden chains that penetrated its skull with both hands, pulling with all its might. Song Jian saw that these chains were visibly deforming at a rate discernible to the naked eye. The runes on the rock walls, still glowing with a golden light, began to emit “crack, crack” sounds of fracturing, and lines of cracks appeared on the surface of these runes, as if they would completely shatter any moment.
