I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1632

Chapter 1632: Chapter 1633: Heaven-devouring Art Chapter 1632: Chapter 1633: Heaven-devouring Art Song Jian’s heart was stirring with eagerness, as the desire to become a god-level powerhouse sprouted within him!

“That is a god-level powerhouse we’re talking about, the strongest realm in the entire game world!” Song Jian’s heart was restless, but he soon forcibly calmed himself down.

The might of the Time Law needs no explanation, as it can erode almost all other powers of law. Once the Power of Law begins to erode, one has almost won half the battle. Even if the enemy’s realm and level are higher, Song Jian’s Time Law can fend off the erosion of other powers of law, granting him an invincible position.

While the Law of Power is also impressive, it simply cannot compare with the Time Law!

“I’ll just have to endure a little longer before I advance to god level with the Time Law, and then I’ll use the Law of Power,” Song Jian thought to himself.

“Master, can I use Law Fragments to nurture the Power of Law?” Song Jian suddenly asked.

“Law Fragments?” Duan Xingliu’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Song Jian, not understanding what he was talking about. Law Fragments were mostly scattered in the River of Time and Space, intangible and elusive, difficult to capture.

Ordinary people couldn’t even dream of capturing Law Fragments, let alone entering the River of Time and Space. Although Song Jian had already attained the peak strength of the Demi-God Level, capturing Law Fragments from the River of Time and Space was still an impossibility for him.

Song Jian said nothing, and pulled out a Posuo Fruit from his inventory to hand to Duan Xingliu.

The Posuo Fruit was only the size of a palm, entirely crimson and emitted a faint fragrance that was pleasant to smell, looking no different from an ordinary fruit.

Duan Xingliu took it with a puzzled look and carefully examined it, only for his complexion to greatly change.

“How is this possible…” Duan Xingliu continued with a face full of surprise, “Law Fragments can actually condense into form, existing with the actual substance of fruit. Impossible, how can this be!”

The existence of the Posuo Fruit overturned Duan Xingliu’s understanding of Law Fragments; he had never seen Law Fragments existing in a material form before.

Duan Xingliu looked up at Song Jian, his eyes filled with profound meaning. Song Jian had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, “Master, please consider this Posuo Fruit as your disciple’s gesture of respect.”

A smile emerged at the corner of Duan Xingliu’s mouth. He couldn’t bring himself to ask for things from his disciple, but a gift from a disciple was something he had to accept gracefully.

“Good, it’s rare for you to be so filial; your master shall accept it,” Duan Xingliu said with a smile. He immediately swallowed the Posuo Fruit, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully began to feel it.

“It is indeed a Law Fragment, but the Law Fragments contained are too faint…” Duan Xingliu muttered to himself while he savored the sensation.

After a while, Duan Xingliu sighed lightly. A strong presence emerged from him, and a stream of gray-black dust was agitated out from his body.

“Indeed they are Law Fragments, but they are too faint. To condense a complete Power of Law, at least a hundred of the same Posuo Fruits are needed…” Duan Xingliu sighed, “Such fruits must also be difficult to obtain. If there are only one or two, they are almost of no use, as useless as chicken ribs!”

“Master, your disciple actually has an entire Paso Fruit Tree, which bears fruit once a year, yielding up to nine fruits at most and at least one each time!” Song Jian said with a smile, “As for which Law Fragments they contain, it appears randomly.”

“Oh? There is such a miraculous fruit tree?” Duan Xingliu’s eyes sparkled with astonishment.

“Hehe, Master, how about I offer you a few Posuo Fruits every year as a token of respect?” Song Jian said with a laugh.

For Song Jian, Posuo Fruits were of no great use for the time being. It wouldn’t be until the majority of the players’ Combat Power had risen to the pinnacle of the third order that the value of Posuo Fruits could truly be demonstrated.

“Haha, don’t even mention the Posuo Fruits that contain but a trace of the Power of Law. Even the complete Power of Law is of no concern to me!” Duan Xingliu said with a laugh, glancing at Song Jian as he spoke, “My way, the path of the sword, is about utmost purity and precision. The sword’s purpose is to break all laws with one slash. The purer, the better. There is no need for the Power of Law!”

Upon hearing this, Song Jian’s heart sank. His Master’s path of the sword seemed to differ from his. Could it be that the path he had been following was wrong?

“Everyone’s path is different, even within the Imperial Sword Sect!” Duan Xingliu seemed to grasp something and smiled slightly, “Just like the Chaos Sword Canon, many have practiced it, but the sword techniques they comprehend are all different. There is no need for comparison; the best path is the one that suits oneself.”

Song Jian nodded, though his heart still harbored some confusion.

“Since you’ve encountered such a fortune, I shall impart to you the Heaven-devouring Art. This technique allows you to devour treasures to obtain their essence and enhance your cultivation!” Duan Xingliu suddenly stated.

“The Heaven-devouring Art?” Song Jian was startled. He seemed to recall no such technique within the Imperial Sword Sect’s cultivation methods.

“Hehe, this isn’t a heritage of the Imperial Sword Sect. I came upon it by chance. Originally, it was nothing more than a trifle, but if what you said is true, and you possess a Paso Fruit Tree, then these Posuo Fruits can be devoured by the Heaven-devouring Art. They can enhance your cultivation, extract essences of Laws. Who knows, it might even advance your mastery of the Time Law a step further!”

A hint of joy appeared on Song Jian’s face. The Time Law was unfathomably profound, and up to now, he had comprehended only a small fraction, merely capable of performing the most basic Law intrusions and passage of years. In most combat situations, it was virtually unusable.

If the Heaven-devouring Art was as Duan Xingliu had described, then with his own Paso Fruit Tree and two Life Fruit Trees, Song Jian would undoubtedly master the Time Law in the shortest possible time.

“Come here, and I will bestow the initiation upon you!” Duan Xingliu said.

Bestowal was a method for quickly imparting techniques, but it required the recipient to have a strong Mental Strength to withstand the onslaught of the massive flow of information. Otherwise, the bestowal could easily reduce a person to an idiot!

Mental Strength was Song Jian’s primary attribute, and it had already exceeded five hundred fifty points. Although the Heaven-devouring Art was a special technique from the Legendary Realm, it was still within Song Jian’s capacity to endure.

Soon, a large section of cultivation methods pertaining to the Heaven-devouring Art appeared in Song Jian’s mind, and the words “Heaven-devouring Art” also appeared in his skill column.

Before long, Song Jian took out a Posuo Fruit and swallowed it. Then he began to operate the Heaven-devouring Art. Instantly, streams of Mental Strength wrapped around the surface of the Posuo Fruit, rapidly devouring its essence. In just a moment, a mass of essence the size of a fingernail was extracted and quickly integrated into Song Jian’s sole mastery of Law, the Time Law.

The remaining impurities were expelled from Song Jian’s body through his pores, courtesy of the Heaven-devouring Art’s method.

As the essence of the Law merged with the Time Law, Song Jian immediately felt he was closer to comprehending the Time Law. Although the progress was slight, a new insight on how to utilize the Time Law suddenly came to mind.

“Years!” With a casual gesture towards an ancient tree outside the hall, the tree, originally only ten meters tall, quivered slightly, and its crown seemed to grow an extra foot taller.

“Hehe, I can now control the speed of the passage of years!” A pleased smile spread across Song Jian’s face. He had not expected the Heaven-devouring Art to be so effective, gradually enhancing his long-stagnant mastery of the Time Law.
