I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1490: Unable to Pass On Chapter 1488: Chapter 1490: Unable to Pass On Song Jian's presence flashed in and out of existence, impossible to capture, which left the BOSS unable to attack him, only to passively suffer damage. For a moment, the BOSS roared furiously, and its thick bony tail swept across, instantly killing a large number of undead creatures around it.

It was not until the BOSS's Vitality Points fell below half that Song Jian's elusive figure gradually began to reveal his whereabouts, and his breath became more chaotic.

Whoosh~
With the sound of tearing air, the BOSS's gaze flickered. It clawed towards the void, capturing Song Jian, who was emerging from the void, and pressed him fiercely to the ground with its paw.

“Huff, huff, what a pity, with my strength, I can only last this long, otherwise, this move could have killed it instantly!”

Although the BOSS had seen through his attack, Song Jian was nevertheless thrilled. At this moment, both his Sword Qi Value and Mental Strength had fallen to a third of their capacity.

The true power of the Chaos Sword Canon was immense, but so was the consumption. Merely sustaining it for fifteen seconds had drained Song Jian completely, leaving him in a weakened state; otherwise, this undead BOSS would have had no chance of capturing him.

Break!

Song Jian brandished his Sky-breaking Sword, slashing fiercely at a segment of the undead BOSS's finger bone. Having broken the seal, Song Jian rushed out, pulled out a potion, poured it into his mouth, and faced the increasingly strong presence of the BOSS, a smile spread across Song Jian's face.

“I, I can actually battle a Legendary Realm pinnacle BOSS!” At that moment, Song Jian wanted to throw his head back and laugh heartily. With third-tier combat power to challenge a Legendary Realm peak, and with a significant chance of slaying the opponent, such impressive strength was unheard of, not just among players but even amongst the natives of the game world.

Roar~!

A roar erupted, and a gray halo burst forth from within the undead BOSS, unfolding its Domain Power, encompassing Song Jian, who immediately felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

The BOSS's Domain Power instantly extended a kilometer away, revealing the BOSS's formidable strength from the extent of its domain.

Song Jian's originally lustrous skin gradually lost moisture, becoming dry and wrinkled, and his strength flowed out rapidly from his body, as if floodgates had been opened.

“Is this, is this the Time Domain?” A look of confusion and terror flashed in Song Jian's eyes. Ever since acquiring the Time Law mark, he had never seen anyone with a time-based domain, and this sudden encounter sent him into panic.

But moments later, Song Jian realized that the BOSS's Domain Power was not related to time, but to another property altogether.

“Aging!” Song Jian whispered.

At this moment, Song Jian looked like a man in his seventies or eighties, his face covered in wrinkles, his hair white, and even his figure stooped, as a sense of decay emanated from within him.

“Aging is merely an auxiliary domain of the Time Law. In the face of time, aging is not worth mentioning!” At this moment, Song Jian's eyes were clouded. He viewed the BOSS through a haze, but a dismissive smile spread across his face.

Hum~
A quiet sound resonated through the void, and the mark on Song Jian's chest burst into light in an instant. A horizontal infinity symbol phantom appeared, enveloping Song Jian entirely within it.

Years!

With a light sigh, Song Jian's originally aged face seemed to press the reverse button, gradually regaining youthfulness. Time, at this moment, had reversed for Song Jian!

The Time Domain that Song Jian displayed had a range of merely ten meters. Compared to the BOSS's domain that spanned thousands of meters, it seemed hardly worth mentioning.

Yet surprisingly, within the BOSS's domain, this ten-meter area acted like a forbidden zone, preventing even an iota of the BOSS's Domain Power from invading. Such a phenomenon was unheard of in battles among other Legendary Realm powerhouses.

The battles of those in the Legendary Realm were actually competitions of Domain Power. Domain Power could be compared, could be depleted, and could even be overlapped and extinguished.

Powerful Domain Power could crush an opponent's Domain Power in an instant. Given Song Jian's ten-meter Domain Power facing a kilometer's worth of Domain Power, it should have been entirely indefensible and should have been invaded and devoured in a mere moment.

But now such a situation had occurred, suggesting only one possibility: Song Jian's Domain Power was of a much higher tier than the BOSS's Domain Power. It was like an egg against a stone; no matter how many or how large the eggs were, they could not smash the stone.

Being at a disadvantage in terms of Domain Power meant you had already lost half the battle. When Song Jian deployed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation again, the other half of the chance at victory was thoroughly lost.

Red Lotus Karma Fire, filled with purifying power, was the ultimate bane of all undead creatures. The resistance of the undead to the Karmic Fire was utterly negative. Within the Sword Formation, the undead BOSS let out a wailing howl, and its body turned into ashes, drifting down over the river of death above.

A look of joy appeared on Song Jian's face. He had finally realized that in the trials of the past dozen days or so, he had not come away empty-handed. Besides the level increase of his aura, his own combat power had been improving imperceptibly. Now, he had reached the point where he could kill a Legendary Realm peak BOSS, which was an enormous leap forward!

“Domain Power, the opponent is suppressed by me; own attributes, also suppressed by the Karmic Fire. In fact, the opponent is only able to exert eighty, perhaps even sixty percent of their Legendary Realm peak strength. If I faced a Legendary Realm peak BOSS that I couldn't suppress this way, it wouldn't necessarily be so easy to kill!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Just then, the phantom of the Taoist Man in the sky suddenly emitted a sigh. In an instant, the surrounding space and time seemed to be frozen, and the undead creatures pouncing towards Song Jian stopped all motion as if the pause button had been pressed. They were like insects trapped in ice, motionless yet preserving their last action and expression, creating an eerie sight.

“You are not from our world, nonexistent now, but existing in the future. It seems you have crossed boundless years, streaming upwards against the River of Time and Space…” The Taoist Man's phantom voiced its confusion: “With your strength, you could not possibly possess such formidable power to reverse time. What kind of existence are you, really?”

Song Jian was startled, as it seemed the other party had seen through his identity and knew he was from the future!

After a moment of silence, Song Jian nodded and said, “Indeed, I have come here from a million years in the future, borrowing the power of a powerful being from my sect…”

The phantom of the Taoist Man nodded and continued, “With your strength, you are most suitable to be my successor. Alas, we are separated by over a million years. Even with my power, I cannot traverse these long years. Without my personal guidance, you cannot inherit my power…”
