I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1731

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1732: The Mural Chapter 1731: Chapter 1732: The Mural Song Jian walked to the spot where the previous player had discovered the secret chamber, his face showing a half-smile that was not quite a smile, as he pulled out a Bronze Ghost King Order from his inventory.

This token was found by Song Jian in a treasure chest outside the Luofu Divine Palace, serving as the key to entering a special palace, and it would emit a black guiding light when approached.

At this moment, the Bronze Ghost King Order in Song Jian's hand had already burst into black light, pulsing as if it were a beating heart.

There were not quite ten thousand but certainly over eight thousand palaces within the Luofu Divine Palace; finding the special palace that could be opened with the Bronze Ghost King Order was like finding a needle in a haystack. Yet, Song Jian never expected that this special palace would come to him.

“What goes around comes around, huh!” Song Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Had it not been for the touch of compassion he felt to help Lin Tian and his three companions leave, he would not have escorted them all the way to the topmost level. If he hadn't reached the top floor, or had been a little late, he would have missed the group of players who had relied on their own strength to get there.

This inevitably gave Song Jian the sense that there was a preordained fate at work!

Song Jian looked at the wall in front of him, which was covered with complex patterns, and in a very inconspicuous position at the bottom left, there was a niche shaped like a token. If one didn't look carefully, this niche would be difficult to spot.

Song Jian placed the Ghost King Order gently into the niche, and immediately a suction force emanated from within, perfectly embedding the order into its place.

Next, the sound of gears shifting resonated from within the wall, and after a moment, at a spot about five meters away from where Song Jian stood, the floor suddenly sank to reveal a set of stone stairs leading downward.

The stone steps descended into darkness, but Song Jian who already possessed enhanced vision in the dark paid no mind. Looking down, it was impossible to see the bottom, as if the stairs led to Hell itself, while gusts of chilly wind blew out from within, carrying faint cries and howls that echoed eerily by his ears.

Such a passage would deter anyone with faint heart; even Song Jian hesitated, for the Luofu Divine Palace was indeed terrifying, filled with Main God Level bosses, and he wouldn't be surprised if there were even God King Level bosses here.

A moment later, a look of relief spread across Song Jian's face, and he shook his head, muttering to himself, “Other players might well be afraid, but why should I fear losing my life?”

One must know that Song Jian had many life-saving tricks up his sleeve, with “Enemy of the Death God” being the envy of many players–it was like having a second life!

Moreover, as long as he wasn't instantly killed, Song Jian could teleport to his Shattered Divine Realm to hide, and even the most powerful bosses wouldn't be able to touch him.

With a chuckle, Song Jian stepped forward toward the passageway, and his figure was soon swallowed by the darkness.

Just as Song Jian had descended more than a hundred meters down the stone steps, the previously open entrance behind him suddenly closed on its own, and the Ghost King Order that had been embedded in the wall fell from the niche, breaking into powder with a crisp sound.

Song Jian kept heading down, after what felt like nearly fifteen minutes, giving the impression of having reached a great depth beneath the Luofu Divine Palace, the end of the dark passageway finally revealed a glimmer of light.

Soon, Song Jian reached the end of the passage, and looking ahead, this place was indeed a special palace.

Unlike the other palaces, the palace before him seemed like an enlarged version of a stone house, empty and devoid of anything inside.

Song Jian stood in the center of the palace, and as he looked around, this palace didn't have even a single supporting pillar, only walls made of stone on all sides.

On these walls were countless murals, most of them depicting battle scenes. Upon closer inspection, they were all grand wars between the alien races and the deities of the Divine World!

The scenes of war were extremely tragic: numerous aliens impaled by spears, pinned to the ground; countless deities torn asunder, their Power of Law dissipating.

Holy Spirit Warriors died in droves, turning to ash, mountains flattened, rivers and oceans boiled dry by divine force, transforming into basins.

Countless beings caught in the battles met with pitiful deaths, and every mural conveyed an immensely oppressive feeling!

“How could there be so many murals of battle scenes?” Song Jian's gaze swept across the walls, seeing thousands of murals, almost all depicting battles, with only a sparse few showing scenes of sacrifice and prayer. Among them, Song Jian noticed a familiar scene–it was the Alien Blood Sacrifice. It seemed that from ancient times to the present, the aliens had conducted blood sacrifices more than once. With each sacrifice, tens of thousands of beings were slaughtered, even aliens were among those sacrificed!

Hum~
With a soft sound, the Power of Law of war that Song Jian had mastered seemed to be triggered, and streams of profound aura flowed throughout the palace. These auras touched the murals, instantly making them appear even more vivid, with the aliens, deities, and all beings within them seeming to come to life, incredibly animated!

Just then, an alien in one of the murals eerily turned its head and bared a ferocious smile at Song Jian.

This alien held a long axe in its hand and was standing on top of a deity, raising the axe high as if to chop off the head of the deity beneath its feet.

Song Jian was startled and couldn't help but take two steps back. How could the characters in the mural move? This was impossible!

Boom~
With a thunderous roar, the alien from the mural actually leaped out, swinging its long axe toward Song Jian.

On instinct, Song Jian summoned the Sky-breaking Sword and fought furiously with him. Moments later, the alien at the peak of True God strength was cleaved into two halves by Song Jian.

The dead alien's body split into two without bleeding, just turning into a stream of air and returning to the mural. However, this time the alien in the mural looked different from the other figures and no longer had the lively presence it had before!

“What's going on? Was it my Power of Law of war that triggered this situation?” Song Jian wondered, trying to suppress his Power of Law of war to prevent it from manifesting, but to his horror, he found he had completely lost control of the Power of Law; it was as if it was not his to command anymore.

Boom, boom, boom~
The murals shook one after another, and nearly all the aliens leaped out from the murals, wielding their weapons and charging at Song Jian. In an instant, the entire hall turned into a battlefield, with Song Jian surrounded by aliens from the murals, as if they were determined to kill him.
