I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1270: Arm Chapter 1268: Chapter 1270: Arm “Despicable humans!”

Facing Song Jian's sudden attack, the Demon Bone Monk in the blazes emitted a series of piercing roars. The hellfire inflicted tremendous damage on it, like gasoline doused in flames, and with its own abilities, it couldn't extinguish the raging inferno at all.

The Demon Bone Monk's gaze once again turned toward the Reincarnation Pool, but this time hesitance flickered in its eyes.

The water in the Reincarnation Pool, all transformed from the souls of ordinary humans, did not belong to the Demon Bone Monk but served as fuel to sustain the Soul Heart Lamp. The true owner was the Ancient Desolate Demon God, and the monk's use of the pool's water was effectively the theft of the Ancient Desolate Demon God's resources.

Occasional theft was acceptable as long as it was promptly replenished, but it had already used a third of the pool's water previously. If it used it again, it would likely expend another third, and with only one third of the water left, the maintenance of the Soul Heart Lamp would be affected.

At this moment, the Demon Bone Monk felt its body gradually turning to ash in the fierce flames. It could no longer worry about potential reprimand from the demon god, and gritting its teeth, extended its right hand toward the Reincarnation Pool.

As the guardian of the Reincarnation Pool, it was entitled to mobilize the water to assist in its attack.

Splash~
The water churned, once again forming a massive hand, reaching out toward the Demon Bone Monk.

Just as hope flashed in the eyes of the Demon Bone Monk and it let out a silent sigh of relief, the hand made of pool water, over five meters in diameter, suddenly stopped mid-air and did not fall upon the Demon Bone Monk engulfed in hellfire.

“No!”

The Demon Bone Monk let out a cry of despair as the connection with the Reincarnation Pool abruptly severed. This could only mean the will of the Ancient Desolate Demon God had awoken and cut off their link.

Contemplating the punishment it could face, the Demon Bone Monk shivered with terror, and moments later, a grim smile crossed its face. It dropped its defenses altogether, allowing countless Spirit Swords to slash at its body.

The Demon Bone Monk's Vitality Points rapidly depleted in plain sight, and without any resistance, it was virtually seeking its own death.

Moments later, to Song Jian's astonishment, the Demon Bone Monk turned into a pile of ashes, and a treasure chest emitting a purplish-red glow appeared amidst the ashes.

Song Jian had braced for a tough fight, yet unexpectedly, a single sneak attack had resolved the enemy.

Gazing at the pile of ashes and the fallen purplish-red treasure chest, there was no look of ease on Song Jian's face; instead, he fixated on the uncontrolled dark green hand in the sky and gripped his Sky-breaking Sword tightly.

Moments later, the giant hand transformed back into a pool of water, falling into the Reincarnation Pool, and Song Jian's eyes followed the water into the pool.

He saw massive bubbles surging in the Reincarnation Pool, churning incessantly on the surface as if boiling. Song Jian stared intently at the water, subconsciously taking two steps back.

Song Jian could feel a powerful and evil presence seeping from the bottom of the pool as if something was slowly awakening.

“`
Hum~
A faint purple light screen suddenly rose from the entire hall, as if a bowl was overturned, covering the entire hall.

Song Jian's face darkened as he could feel a formation power spreading within the hall. Looking up, he saw the entire hall was enveloped in a layer of faint purple light, turning it into a giant cage.

“A sealing formation…” Song Jian narrowed his eyes and immediately activated the Eye of Insight to search for the formation's critical point. If he could find and destroy or decipher it, he could leave the sealing formation.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly saw, one after another, transparent souls wailing as they emerged from the water, drifting towards the sky. As soon as they rose, the entire soul would turn into a drop of dark green water and fall back into the pool. Countless souls turned into water droplets, making it look like a green rain pouring above the pool.

Splash, splash~
The water in the Reincarnation Pool began to surge, and the pool, which had been depleted by one-third, quickly refilled. The water from the Reincarnation Pool soon overflowed, even spreading to Song Jian's feet.

Song Jian narrowed his eyes again when he saw a dark shadow rising from the bottom of the Reincarnation Pool.

The Sky-breaking Sword was tightly gripped in Song Jian's hands. Before he had broken the sealing formation, any creature that might appear would have to fight him to the death.

Dark red hair floated on top of the pool water, followed by a white lotus-like arm extending from the water, gently resting on the edge of the pool.

Seeing this arm, an image of an unrivaled beauty instantly surfaced in Song Jian's mind. A scorching breath burst forth from his lower abdomen, his eyes began to show pale blood veins, and a look of greed bloomed in his gaze.

Just then, a chill suddenly surged through Song Jian's mind, instantly extinguishing the raging fire within his heart.

A solemn expression appeared on Song Jian's face. As he looked at the arm, his eyes revealed a hint of horror. The previously quenched flames suddenly began to rise again, frightening Song Jian into quickly shifting his gaze to the faint purple light screen above his head.

However, in his mind, the image of that arm persisted, and his thoughts uncontrollably fantasized about the appearance of its owner!

In the skill list, the talent skill Immortal Body emitted a faint golden glow. It could be seen that its proficiency was gradually increasing. It was well-known that the proficiency of talent skills increased much slower than regular skills–at times, it might not improve even after being triggered dozens of times. Sometimes it would increase with just one trigger.

However, Song Jian discovered in battle that the more intense the stimulus the talent skill received or the more times it was triggered, the more likely the proficiency would increase. Clearly, at this moment, the talent skill Immortal Body was continuously taking effect. Without it, Song Jian would have likely become a puppet due to the appearance of this arm.

“Could I really become a puppet over an arm?” A wry smile appeared on Song Jian's face.

At that moment, a pleasant voice rang beside Song Jian's ear, “As a gentleman, shouldn't you help me out?”

Song Jian was horrified in his heart and couldn't help but look toward the Reincarnation Pool. He saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman standing at the edge of the pool, her body submerged in the water, only her head exposed, her dark red hair floating in the pool, revealing a face that could topple kingdoms and cities.
