I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1626

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1627: Catching a Turtle in a Jar Chapter 1626: Chapter 1627: Catching a Turtle in a Jar Up to this point, Song Jian had mastered two innate abilities, both of which were extremely powerful and provided him with tremendous help during his usual battles.

One must know that not everyone can obtain innate abilities. Some players with exceptional talent can acquire an innate ability as soon as they enter the game, but many more obtain nothing.

Just like the saying goes, if you're born with it, you have it; if you're not, then it's difficult to acquire in this lifetime. Innate abilities are just like that! In the game, obtaining innate abilities is even more difficult than acquiring Legendary Level skills. Often, it requires great fortune or an experience of life-and-death to possibly obtain them.

“Dragon Transformation? The specific attributes aren't mentioned, but judging by the name, I guess it's the ability to transform into a dragon form? How does this help me?” Song Jian frowned slightly.

The fact that the elixir could enhance his abilities by thirty percent was something Song Jian was pleased to see, but the Dragon Transformation innate ability was too vague, and the physical transformation could potentially change his bloodline, which was something Song Jian could not accept.

As Song Jian hesitated, the system prompt before him displayed the attributes of the “Dragon Transformation” innate ability, as if it sensed his concerns.

After seeing the attributes of “Dragon Transformation,” Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, just as he had guessed, with this innate ability, he could transform his body into an Eastern Giant Dragon, possessing skills such as “Dragon Flame,” “Dragon Breath,” and a few other skills of the Dragon Clan. Most importantly, after performing “Dragon Transformation,” Song Jian would become the first real Eastern Giant Dragon. Even tracing his bloodline would only reveal that he evolved from a horned Giant Python, without any connection to human identity.

However, after reverting from the “Dragon Transformation” state and returning to human form, Song Jian's bloodline would revert to fully human, with not a trace of impurity.

Thinking this, Song Jian glanced at Liu Su and the other two, realizing that his only worry now was that obtaining the Ascension Pill might provoke their greed. In the secret realm, it was still safe, but once they left the secret realm, the Ascension Pill might cause the entire Divine Sword Sect to fight over it, after all, it was a Divine Pill.

Just then, a countdown appeared before Song Jian. There were only thirty seconds left, and he knew that once the countdown ended, the remnant soul within the skeleton would dissipate, and the chance to absorb it with the Ascension Pill would be lost.

Roar~
A roar sounded from behind the group. Turning around, they saw a large swarm of shadow demons drilling into the underground cave and rushing toward the stone forest.

“Shadow demons are here,” cried Liu Su, with a look of terror on the faces of the trio. Previously there was only one shadow demon, but now there was a crushing horde, at least hundreds of them. It was unknown if the aura emitted by the Giant Python's remains could withstand so many shadow demons.

Song Jian glanced at the three of them. They were all facing away from him now, weapons in hand, in a tense defensive posture. With less than ten seconds left on the countdown, Song Jian immediately took out the Ascension Pill and threw it toward the remains of the Giant Python.

In the blink of an eye, the Ascension Pill was absorbed into the skeleton of the Giant Python and disappeared. The spirit of the python in Song Jian's mind seemed to encounter a natural enemy, appearing utterly terrified. In no time at all, it withdrew from Song Jian's mind.

The dense crowd of shadow demons had already rushed to the edge of the stone forest, but a terrifying aura was deterring them, just like a natural enemy.

As more and more shadow demons gathered, lingering on the edge of the stone forest without daring to take a step forward, Liu Su and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat slowly.

“Eh, the pressure from the Giant Python seems to have weakened a lot…” Guo Lian suddenly said.

Because of the appearance of the shadow demons, all three had shifted their attention away from the remains of the Giant Python. Now that the danger had passed, they suddenly noticed that the overwhelming pressure seemed to have become almost imperceptible.

Just then, the shadow demons started to grow restless, and before long, a giant shadow, ten times larger than the average shadow demon, slowly emerged from the crevices in the rock.

“That Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon!” Liu Su and the others suddenly shivered. Only then did they realize that this stone forest was a sealed underground space with no other exits except for that crack in the rock wall.

“Are we sitting ducks in a jar right now?” Guo Lian said with a wry smile.

“Speak for yourself, don't count the two of us in!” Lian Yue rolled her eyes and retorted.

All the ordinary Legendary Realm Black Fog Demons made way for the Demi-God Level one. Liu Su and the others all turned their gazes to Song Jian, for if anyone could deal with this Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon, it could only be Song Jian.

“My moves are too loud; they might bring down the entire cave…” Song Jian frowned slightly.

Whether it was the Thousand Swords Art or the Chaos Sword Technique, both were too conspicuous, and nowhere in this underground cave could possibly withstand the aftereffects of a battle between two Demi-God Level powerhouses.

The Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon reached the edge of the stone forest and let out a roar towards it. The invisible sound waves, like a typhoon, blasted a large swath of the stone forest into fragments. Liu Su and the others were caught off guard and were impacted by the sound wave attack, sending them flying and crashing into the skeleton of the giant serpent.

Crash~
The skeleton of the giant serpent, unexpectedly brittle, crumbled under the assault of the sound waves, collapsing like a pile of loose powder.

Spurt~
The faces of the three, pale as faded gold, spat out a mouthful of blood. A casual strike by the Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon grievously wounded the trio, leaving them bereft of battle power.

Song Jian's expression changed drastically. With the giant serpent's skeleton destroyed, the Ascension Pill had also mysteriously disappeared–such a loss was more than he could bear!

“How is this possible…” Song Jian didn't glance at the Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon; his senses spread far and wide, enveloping the entire area where the giant serpent's skeleton had been, searching for the Ascension Pill's location.

At that moment, the Demi-God Level Black Fog Demon, which had been indecisive, seemed to sense something and suddenly became excited. Its once elusive form began to slowly change in midair. Ultimately, a hundred-zhang-long mono-horned giant serpent appeared before everyone.

This giant serpent was pitch-black like ink, glinting with a metallic cold light, making it appear like a true beast rather than a transformation of the Black Fog Demon.

“It has sensed the presence of the Ascension Pill…” Song Jian's heart sank as he watched the Black Fog Demon, now transformed into a mono-horned giant serpent, madly rush toward the stone forest.

Boom~
As it moved, countless stone pillars were shattered into pieces. Under the terrifying pressure of the Demi-God Level Power of Law, Liu Su and the others found themselves paralyzed, utterly unable to dodge.

“Shadow Law…” Song Jian felt the Power of Law emanating from the mono-horned giant serpent, his eyes narrowing. Here in the underground cave, the Black Fog Demon's Shadow Law would be amplified. In an instant, the massive Black Fog Demon moved deceptively fast; in just three seconds, it had covered hundreds of meters and reached Song Jian.
