I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1729: Xuanyin Ice Crystal Chapter 1728: Chapter 1729: Xuanyin Ice Crystal Tens of thousands of items, although not of high quality, contained an exceedingly rich cold energy. Soon, Song Jian could feel the temperature inside the furnace seemed to slowly begin descending.

Countless ashes were ejected from the exhaust port at the bottom of the furnace. Most of these items were of grey quality, almost worthless, all turned to ash.

After some time, the Red Lotus Karma Fire beneath the furnace began to slowly extinguish. The lid of the furnace opened, and a cluster of white Xuanyin Ice Crystal, constantly changing shape, floated out, blossoming into a dazzling light in the air.

This cluster of white Xuanyin Ice Crystal kept sprouting spikes, resembling a sea urchin, and the endless cold it exuded even frosted over the entire hall with a layer of white frost!

The white Xuanyin Ice Crystal slowly drifted into Song Jian’s hand. The moment it touched the palm of his hand, it instantly froze his arm with a thick layer of mysterious ice, spreading from the palm all the way to the elbow.

“Truly impressive. Merely the naturally emitted cold energy can freeze the arm of a Main God Level powerhouse! It seems I’ve smelted an incredible item,” Song Jian shook his arm lightly, shattering the Xuanyin Ice on it, his face revealing an admiring expression.

“Xuanyin Ice Crystal, a divine tier item, after comprehension one can randomly understand one or multiple Powers of Law from the Frost Law, Low Temperature Principle, Death Rule, among others…”
Song Jian’s eyes shone with divine light. Such a small cluster of ice crystal actually contained dozens of Powers of Law. Though all of them were of cold attribute, it was still very rare to have so many contained at once.

Such a treasure, if sold to other Main Deities, they would probably spend their entire fortune to purchase it. Perhaps it would even trigger a divine war over the item!

“Heh, such a fine thing, how could I possibly sell it to others, to enhance the strength of other Main Deities?” A hint of a smile emerged on Song Jian’s face.

With the Xuanyin Ice Crystal in hand, he directly swallowed it. The Swallowing the Sky technique began to deploy slowly, little by little digesting the cluster of Xuanyin Ice Crystal.

“To randomly comprehend these Laws, heh, I want them all!” A fierce look flashed across Song Jian’s face.

The Xuanyin Ice Crystal was extremely pure and intensely cold. As soon as he swallowed it, Song Jian felt a bone-piercing cold rapidly spreading from his stomach. In a short time, his limbs began to stiffen, his complexion turned pale, his body emitted cold energy, and he looked as if he had been taken out after being frozen for twelve hours in an ice cellar.

“So cold!” Song Jian couldn’t help but shiver, shaking violently. His Vitality Points began to slowly decrease, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of his body, making him look like a frozen man.

The Swallowing the Sky technique operated rapidly, striving to absorb the energy within the Xuanyin Ice Crystal, but it was like the waves endlessly beating against the reef, unable to shake it in the slightest!

Gradually, Song Jian lost all sensation. The ice on his body surface became thicker. Before long, his entire body was enveloped by a thick block of ice. The ice block grew larger and larger, eventually forming a huge white ice sphere over three meters in diameter, completely obscuring Song Jian within from the outside.

“Damn it, I took it too far, this time I might truly be done for!” A bitter taste surfaced in Song Jian’s mind, as his consciousness began to blur gradually.

Just at the moment Song Jian lost consciousness, the Sword Qi of chaos within him began to operate autonomously, and the Powers of Law he mastered also started to burst forth.

The Law of Flames continually resisted the coldness of the Xuanyin Ice Crystal, while the Law of Devouring devoured the energy unceasingly radiated by the Xuanyin Ice Crystal.

Earth Law, Gold Law, Invasion Law, Wisdom Law…
More and more powers of Law emerged, and if one could dig into the massive block of ice at this moment, they would see Song Jian’s body radiating a variety of divine lights. Some of these Law powers began to confront the Xuanyin Ice Crystal, while others began to protect Song Jian’s body, preserving his life tier. It was an unseen battlefield, a war between the various Laws Song Jian wielded and the Xuanyin Ice Crystal!

The loser loses everything, the winner takes all!

…

The other seven Main Deities were continuously exploring the Luofu Divine Palace, unaware of where the Bloodthirsty Warhammer was stored, and could only search room by room.

After a long time, they discovered that Song Jian had at some point left the group and was nowhere to be found!

“When did Song Jian leave?” the Lord of Light frowned, unable to recall when Song Jian had departed.

Whether it was the Lord of Light or the Lord of Space, their strength was above Song Jian’s. With Song Jian’s ability, it was impossible for him to leave unnoticed by their divine senses. The current situation most likely indicated their senses had been affected by an unknown force.

If that was the case, Song Jian’s situation was probably more perilous than fortunate!

The rest of the deities seemed to realize this as well, some showing a chill on their faces, some appearing worried, while many more had expressions of indifference.

The Luofu Divine Palace was inherently fraught with dangers; nothing that happened within was surprising. This time it was Song Jian, next time it could very well be themselves.

“Everyone, be extra cautious. Observe your surroundings, but also keep an eye on your comrades!” the Lord of Space couldn’t help but say, “The number of enemy invaders entering is greater than ours, and their strength is definitely superior. Now, every bit of strength is crucial; once we’re scattered, we’ll be easily defeated by the enemy, one by one!”

“Understood, but there are simply too many ghosts here. Once a battle starts, it’s hard to pay attention to the others,” said the Master of the Sun, unable to help himself.

On their way here, they had encountered at least seven or eight waves of enemies. The Luofu Divine Palace was exactly what the dwarfish ghost had said: truly a den of ghosts.

Various kinds of ghosts emerged one after another, preferring to hide in the dark and launch surprise attacks. Once one encroached upon their territory, these ghosts would immediately attack, in an all-or-nothing manner, devoid of any reason!

“I can feel the power of coldness; the cold power within this temple is becoming increasingly intense,” said the dwarfish ghost as he slightly closed his eyes, his face showing a look of enjoyment.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the other Main Deities, the strength of the dwarfish ghost had been slowly increasing ever since entering the Luofu Divine Palace. Though the increase was minor, and to the Main Deities, there wasn’t much difference between the Legendary Realm and first or second tier strengths, therefore, they did not pay attention to the dwarfish ghost.

“Continue exploring ahead. I feel we are getting close. I can sense the malevolent aura of the foreign deity-level powerhouses…” coldly snorted the Lord of Light, holding the Scepter of Light and taking the lead towards the deeper parts of the Luofu Divine Palace.
