I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1598

Chapter 1598: Chapter 1599: Lightning Attraction Array Chapter 1598: Chapter 1599: Lightning Attraction Array Song Jian aimlessly walked on, covering such a long distance that he had not only wandered out of the meadow but had even reached the gate of the Divine Sword Sect at the foot of the mountain. However, all he could see before him was still just an expanse of grassland, nothing else.

His consciousness was also compressed to the extreme, only able to reach two or three meters outside his body.

Just then, the white fog in front of him suddenly changed, condensing into the shape of a hunting hound. The fog-formed hound let out a low growl and pounced towards Song Jian.

Song Jian smiled slightly, such a creature with a Combat Power of only thirty or forty was not worth using his sword on–it would be overkill.

As it approached Song Jian, a Sword Essence suddenly burst forth from the surface of his body, cutting the fog hound in two halves. With Song Jian's current strength, low-level beasts would not only struggle to injure him but even getting close to him was a far-fetched dream.

“This level of trial is only suitable for ordinary people. Since the Divine Sword Sect invited me to enter the Heart Inquiry Sword Array, there must be more powerful challenges waiting for me!” Song Jian thought to himself.

In fact, with Song Jian's current strength, he could unleash a burst of power and directly destroy the entire Sword Formation. However, to do so would be a blatant provocation.

Song Jian had to follow the rules, either completing the trial and walking out of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array or locating the core of the formation to directly unravel the Sword Formation. Mindlessly smashing everything with a hammer would not do; even if he managed to break the Sword Formation, it would earn him disdain from others.

“On the surface, it seems to be just a maze and illusion formation, but in reality, it's not that simple. This must be a linked formation, composed of at least dozens of arrays…” Song Jian murmured to himself as he observed.

Boom~
As Song Jian spent more time in the Heart Inquiry Sword Array, the power of the Sword Formation grew stronger. Suddenly, the sky stirred with wind and clouds, and thunder rolled with flashes of lightning coursing through the sky like dragons.

“There's a Lightning Attraction Array too, nice, nice. If it were an ordinary player, they would probably quit at the sight of this lightning array, right?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.

By now, the power of the formation was comparable to a peak third-order combatant. None of the attendees at today's examination could withstand such a formation.

…
Outside the formation, Fang Dayou's expression turned somewhat unsightly. Several of his junior sect members, eager to enter the inner gate, were offering up advice, each more ruthless than the last. This sent chills down Fang Dayou's spine. He had originally thought himself to be the strongest among the outer sect disciples, but now it seemed that if it came down to a life-and-death struggle, he would probably be no match for these juniors. In a real fight to the death with them, it was very likely that his opponents would emerge severely wounded while he himself would perish.

“Senior brother, how's it going inside the Sword Formation? You'd better not go easy on him. If he's the first to come out, it would be a shame for our Divine Sword Sect!” a junior brother whispered.

“Hmph, do you think I would go easy?” Fang Dayou snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a small formation plate identical to the main one appeared in his palm, although this one was much smaller.

“A Mother-Child Array, hehe, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, senior brother Fang…” one of the disciples said with bright eyes and a chuckle.

The formation plate in Fang Dayou's hand didn't have many functions, but it could spy on everything within the main plate. Things those who entered the formation were reluctant to reveal were laid bare on this smaller plate.

Chanting under his breath, Fang Dayou tapped his finger on the smaller plate, and a ray of light burst forth, forming a screen of light in the air.

The conditions of all the examinees who had entered the Heart Inquiry Sword Array were displayed for all to see.

At this moment, some people within the Sword Formation were kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly, some with tattered clothes and their faces a mix of black and blue, as if they had suffered a vicious beating. There were even some lying on the ground, with their backs arched as though a great mountain rested upon them, yet in reality, there was nothing at all…
Within the magical array, the Examinees' postures varied, and some even made quite the spectacle of themselves, prompting laughter from the onlookers.

Fang Dayou adjusted the view, focusing the entire image on Song Jian. At this moment, lightning surged above Song Jian's head, and thunder rolled, but Song Jian remained unafraid, his head held high, staring at the sky with a defiant demeanor.

“Hiss, the Lightning Attraction Array has been activated, impressive, impressive. To remain unfazed in the face of such heavenly might, it seems we should not underestimate this disciple from the Imperial Sword Sect,” one of the disciples couldn't help but gasp in admiration.

“Peak third-stage Combat Power, elder brother, you really play rough, triggering such an array right from the start. Are you trying to kill him?” another disciple looked at Fang Dayou with a strange expression and whispered.

“It was triggered by him, not activated by me,” Fang Dayou muttered.

“Triggered by himself?” A disciple who was somewhat familiar with the Heart Inquiry Sword Array showed a hint of surprise: “Does that mean he is close to the core of the formation already? How is he so fast?”

Within the array, Song Jian gazed at the silver snakes dancing across the sky, a trace of joy in his eyes. Following the faint flow of the array's energy, Song Jian made his way toward the very heart of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array.

“The closer to the critical positions, the stronger the guarding forces. The power now is already comparable to the peak of third-stage Combat Power. It looks like I'm heading in the right direction!” Song Jian said with a smile, looking at the thunder in the sky and suddenly reaching out to dispel it directly.

Just then, Song Jian felt a faint sense of prying and instantly realized that the disciples from the Divine Sword Sect were watching him from the outside.

“Good, I'll also show you the strength of Song Jian!” he thought, and abandoning his plan to directly dispel the lightning in the sky, he stepped toward the core area.

Boom, boom, boom~
The thunder in the sky, as if angered by Song Jian's attitude, struck down with bolts, aiming for Song Jian's head.

Boom, boom, boom~
Bolt after bolt struck Song Jian's body, engulfing him in electric light, nearly enveloping his entire being.

“Why isn't he dodging?” Outside the array, the disciples from the Divine Sword Sect were dumbfounded, their faces showing surprise as they watched the lightning continuously strike down upon Song Jian's head.

However, just then, Song Jian continued to move forward, seemingly indifferent to the lightning constantly raining down upon him.

Ultimately, under the horrified gaze of the Divine Sword Sect's disciples, Song Jian strode out of the Lightning Attraction Array's area. At this point, Song Jian was completely unharmed and even smiled toward the direction where the Divine Sword Sect's disciples were spying.

“He, he's noticed us?” one of the disciples questioned in disbelief: “How is this possible? The Heart Inquiry Sword Array is supposed to block all perception…”
“He's about to reach the core area. Once he enters the core, he will find the Mother-Child Array. At that point, it won't just be passing the trial, but directly breaking the array!” Fang Dayou's worry was about something else, causing his eyebrows to furrow deeply.
