I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1606: Chapter 1607: Corroding Phantom Chapter 1606: Chapter 1607: Corroding Phantom The spear turned into fragments filling the sky, and Song Jian shook his head in sigh, lamenting that it was such a pity, this spear only needed to be nurtured for a while, and it might well have advanced to a divine artifact.

In the void, an armored warrior with an expressionless face glanced at Song Jian, his cold eyes flashing a hint of disdain as if he held Song Jian’s desire to subdue him in scorn.

“A Weapon Spirit that is so unyielding, it seems its master must have been quite the tough guy!” Song Jian couldn’t help but sigh as he watched the Weapon Spirit gradually dissipate in the void.

Whoosh~
The warrior’s body, which had stood unyielding in the distance, also collapsed with a thunderous fall, merging with the soldier beneath it.

A bronze token slipped from the warrior’s waist and rolled to Song Jian’s feet.

Song Jian picked it up and saw it was a Fighting Order Token, with a fist-sized “Fighting” character engraved on it.

[Heavenly Fighting Order, special item, attributes: After obtaining, you will have the fourth level authority of the Heavenly Palace, and you can enter buildings that allow the fourth level authority.]
“A Fighting Order Token? No attribute bonuses, just fourth level authority in the Heavenly Palace, allowing entry to the places permitted by this level of authority?” Song Jian examined the bronze token back and forth, but he didn’t find anything magical about it, yet subconsciously, he felt that this fourth-level authority might be a very useful thing in this so-called Ascension Secret Realm.

Tucking the token away, Song Jian continued searching the battlefield, reasoning that since a weapon with a Weapon Spirit had appeared, who’s to say there wouldn’t be a second or a third weapon…

Song Jian didn’t know what kind of opportunities existed within the Ascension Secret Realm, but if he could acquire a few weapons with Weapon Spirits, the trip would not be in vain.

After wandering around the battlefield for over an hour, Song Jian didn’t find another weapon with a Weapon Spirit; instead, the further he walked, the fewer the corpses he found, and soon he arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

In front of him lay a desolate desert, both the sand and stone on the ground and the plants growing in this land glowed with a dark red hue, which looked very eerie.

Walking on it, he immediately felt a sticky sensation under his feet, as if walking in a damp marsh, but in reality, the ground was made of hard gravel and stones; this contradictory and uncomfortable sensation made Song Jian somewhat irritated.

“What exactly is this place? Even the environment of the Abyssal Hell is better than this…” Song Jian couldn’t help but think.

The environment in the Abyssal Hell is hot and dry, with a landscape full of rocky cliffs and volcanic magma. Although uncomfortable, it was much more tolerable than the spooky desolation he now faced.

Woo woo~
Just as Song Jian stepped into the desert, the sound of ghastly wails and howls suddenly rang in his ears, a strange aura permeating the air as purple-black shadows flickered in the sky, gone in an instant.

Song Jian’s sense of danger grew stronger, as if from the moment he stepped onto this dark red land, danger had descended upon him.

The next moment, Song Jian suddenly felt the hair on his body stand on end, and a bone-chilling coolness flashed across his back.

Danger!

Song Jian subconsciously used his Soul Wander skill, and his speed suddenly increased several times over, as if he was a bolt of lightning dashing forward. He moved so swiftly that he left behind a faint afterimage where he had been.

Boom~
Thunder suddenly resounded in the sky, and a purplish-red bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking down at the place where Song Jian had just been.

The purplish-red lightning, thick as a bucket and like the sword of a god, slammed into the ground, instantly creating a large pit. Rubble flew in all directions, and the high temperature even melted the ground, solidifying into shiny, crystal-like formations.

At the same time, a strange corrosive force quietly spread within the pit. The once glittering rock crystals visibly corroded quickly, unveiling weird black spots. Eventually, the area hit by the lightning became pitted and uneven.

Song Jian looked back and broke into a cold sweat. The dark red lightning attack was comparable to a full blow from a divine-level powerhouse, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so tense.

Especially that corrosive force, it was truly terrifying. It wasn’t just any ordinary corrosive force, but one that involved the Law Domain, belonging to the power of Corrosion Law. Although the quality of such a force wasn’t as formidable as the Time Law Domain, coupled with that fatal strike, it was entirely capable of killing Song Jian instantly.

Song Jian couldn’t help but wipe off the cold sweat. With such terror in this place, even as a Demi-God Level warrior, he faced the risk of perishing. Those Divine Sword Sect disciples who only had peak tier-3 combat power, he couldn’t imagine how they would survive here, with their lives at risk at any moment, not to mention seeking any opportunities.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly sensed a strange presence from the pit that had been hit by the dark red lightning. Looking over, he saw a dark shadow slowly floating up from the pit, looking much like a black ghost.

He immediately employed his Perception Eye and began to inspect the attributes of this black apparition in front of him.

‘Corrosion Phantom, Level 159, Legendary Level BOSS, Vitality Points: 60 million’
The Perception Eye wasn’t very high-leveled and could only reveal the most basic attributes of the monster. At Level 159, it was a few levels above Song Jian, but still within his capability to handle. One could advance to Demi-God Level at level 150, so clearly, this BOSS didn’t possess the strength to ascend to Demi-God Level and was still just a Legendary Level BOSS.

If other disciples of the Divine Sword Sect encountered this monster, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to eliminate it, but in Song Jian’s eyes, such a monster was hardly worth considering.

What Song Jian was now hunting for were those creatures that possessed divinity, at the very least, Demi-God Level monsters. Only from such divine creatures could he extract divinity to enhance his own strength.

Song Jian glanced at the BOSS but didn’t approach it. Instead, he turned and walked away, unwilling to waste his time on battles that wouldn’t yield any benefits.

However, as Song Jian decided to leave, the Corrosion Phantom didn’t intend to let him go so easily.

Even at a distance of over ten meters, the Corrosion Phantom had the ability to attack. At the very moment Song Jian turned around, the head of the Corrosion Phantom suddenly expanded, its mouth opening wide, stretching to either side and splitting into a gap over 180 degrees.

Pfft~
A glob of black viscous liquid, the size of a human head and like a cannonball, arced through the air, flying rapidly towards Song Jian.
