I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457: Chapter 1459: Seas Change into Mulberry Fields Chapter 1457: Chapter 1459: Seas Change into Mulberry Fields A dragon's roar erupted from within Kamata, and Kamata's aura became heavy in an instant. The shadow of an Eastern Giant Dragon swirled around her body, circling a few times before merging with Kamata.

Kamata's level, visible to the naked eye, climbed rapidly, almost every five or six seconds marking another level gained. The speed was so fast that it left Song Jian agape with astonishment.

“Isn't this Dragon Emperor's Arrogant Sky Secret a bit too exaggerated? Can the level increase this quickly?” Song Jian wondered in surprise.

It is known that when a player levels up, they only gain a skill point, but for NPCs and creatures within the game world, each level gained corresponds to an increase in strength. For top-tier creatures like Kamata, there's no need for cultivation; as long as they live long enough, their strength will continue to rise. Now that Kamata has learned the Dragon Emperor's Arrogant Sky Secret, her strength will definitely increase faster than those of the Giant Dragon priests from before.

Level 120, 125, 130…

Kamata's level shot up rapidly, and in just a few minutes, she had already reached level 148. After that, the speed of gaining combat experience began to slow down gradually.

“Haha, I've made a breakthrough!” Kamata exclaimed joyfully, casually swinging a palm forward. Instantly, a huge shadow of a Golden Dragon's claw appeared in front of her, and with a vigorous flick, the Golden Dragon's claw rushed forward, producing a booming sound as it pulverized a coral tree that stood seven or eight meters tall into dust.

“Haha, how powerful!” Kamata, thrilled, was ready to continue trying out the Dragon Emperor's Dominating Art, but Song Jian stopped her. If she continued, the entire cave was going to collapse.

Just then, a scream came from the distant entrance passage, followed by a series of sounds of combat.

“Those great demons have already come in. It seems someone has been hit by the God-slaying Arrow. It's just uncertain if they've been taken down or not!” Xin Ling said in a low voice.

“We've got what we came for. Do you need anything else?” Song Jian asked.

“Most of the techniques here have already been collected by others. They're not of much value,” Xin Ling said, flipping through the books on the shelf with a faint sense of helplessness.

Boom~
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from within Ao Tian, and its level unexpectedly went straight from the early stage of the Legendary Realm to the mid-stage, and the aura kept climbing.

“Ao Tian is about to make a breakthrough. We should leave quickly. Once it breaks through to the peak of the Legendary Realm, we will not be its match!” Xin Ling glanced at Ao Tian and whispered.

Song Jian nodded. There was a secret passage in the cave that led to the outside world. Xin Ling picked up a scroll from the bookshelf and tossed it to Song Jian, saying, “You should need this.”

With that, Xin Ling walked towards a corner of the cave, where a stone sculpture of a Giant Dragon coiled in the clouds, stretching forward one of its front claws–the location of the secret passage. Disciples had previously recorded the passage in detail, and even the method to open it was on record.

Song Jian caught the scroll Xin Ling had thrown. It was the “Five Elements Escape Skill: Wood Escape.” He couldn't help but smile slightly. This was the third book of the Five Elements Escape Skill he had collected. He had not expected to find one in the Dragon Palace Treasure.

With a single slap, the book of the Wood Escape Skill disappeared. This Skill Book could only be learned once and would vanish after use, unlike the Dragon Emperor's Dominating Art, which could be learned at least three times before disappearing.

Xin Ling grasped the front claw of the Giant Dragon sculpture and gave it a gentle twist. A sound of gears meshing together echoed, and the Giant Dragon sculpture shifted aside, revealing a narrow tunnel just big enough for one person to enter.

“This is the secret passage; we can get out from here!” After Xin Ling spoke, she turned her head to glance at Ao Tian, with a sly look flashing in her eyes, and whispered, “Should we take this opportunity to kill it? It might drop some secrets about the Dragon Palace…”

Most of the Skill Books had already been collected by the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who came before. Xin Ling only managed to obtain two books resembling biographies. Although these books had value, they did not contain Skill Books, secrets, and other treasures that would earn many Contribution Points.

Song Jian turned his head to look at Ao Tian. Behind Ao Tian, a Giant Dragon phantom had appeared, which was actually a nine-clawed Golden Dragon. Its body was covered in golden scales that glinted faintly, and it exuded an endless majesty. However, the eyes of the Giant Dragon phantom seemed dull, devoid of any signs of life.

Ao Tian's aura was climbing rapidly. If they were going to kill him, now was the time; otherwise, in a little while, his level and strength would rise to a level that even Song Jian would not be able to withstand.

“Kill!” A fierce determination flashed in Song Jian's eyes as he drew the Sky-breaking Sword, readying to execute the Thousand Swords Art. Just then, an enraged roar suddenly erupted from the tunnel, and several large demons rushed into the treasure vault, each one hoisting a corpse on their shoulders.

“How could they be so fast!” Song Jian's face wore a look of surprise. He and Xin Ling had stealthily obtained Ao Tian's blood to enter the vault so quickly, yet these large demons had used their companions' corpses as shields to barge in, taking Song Jian aback with their audacity.

“We better leave quickly; if we don't go now, we might not be able to escape!” Song Jian said with some regret, and Xin Ling looked on with a similarly regretful expression.

In the scenario of the Dragon Palace Treasure, Ao Tian was a major character. If killed, he would undoubtedly drop great items. Although there were Imperial Sword Sect disciples who had entered the vault before, they did not have the strength to kill Ao Tian. Some were killed by Ao Tian, while others hid until Ao Tian left after consuming the Dragon Emperor Treasure Pearl. Only then did they dare to continue searching the vault for items Ao Tian had overlooked.

This time, it seemed to be the most likely opportunity to kill Ao Tian, but who could have expected those large demons to arrive so quickly?

Xin Ling leapt into the hole, with Song Jian following closely. The two of them walked along the narrow passage for about three hundred meters until the path ahead was submerged by seawater. They continued swimming forward through the water-filled tunnel until they emerged from a cave in an undersea mountain.

Back at the surface, the two of them looked back. The towering beam of light had not yet faded, although it had dimmed significantly. The surrounding mist had almost dissipated, and it wouldn't be long before the beam of light vanished.

Once the beam of light disappeared, the people inside the Dragon Palace Treasure would probably be driven out. If they came out empty-handed, the trip would have been for nothing.

Boom~
Just then, a faint rumbling could be heard from within the column of light, as if a violent explosion had occurred. The already dim column of light also trembled slightly, appearing even more illusory.

“Let's go. There's nothing left here worth lingering for!” Song Jian glanced at the column of light and spoke indifferently. This trip to the Dragon Palace had greatly benefited him, increasing his strength by at least one third. Now, Song Jian, even when facing a mid-Legendary Realm powerhouse, possessed the strength to fight and win.

Xin Ling nodded, about to speak, when she noticed Song Jian's entire being becoming ethereal, and everything around began to change strangely as if the flow of time had suddenly accelerated. She felt like a mere spectator, watching the tide rise and fall, the sea turning into mulberry fields. The once raging sea swelled into mountains, transforming into vast lands.

“The sea has turned into mulberry fields, and time has accelerated? Is this the beginning of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?” Xin Ling muttered to herself in astonishment.
