I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 804: Chapter 805: The Eighth Demon King_1

“Get out of the way!” Song Jian shouted.

As soon as his voice fell, there was a loud “boom” as a pile of rocks burst open, sending countless broken blades flying towards Song Jian and his companion. Angel Kekaul instinctively raised the newly acquired golden shield in front of him.

It was only when Kekaul suddenly remembered Song Jian beside him and turned his head that he saw three Bone Shields floating continuously around Song Jian’s body, and a scarlet Light Shield also appeared on the surface of his body;

Kekaul: “…”

Your defense seems even stronger than mine!

Clang, clang, clang~

... @@novelbin@@

A torrential downpour of ringing sounds ensued as countless blades struck the shields. Kekaul had no energy to think of anything else and could only focus on protecting himself with all his might;

Song Jian continuously retreated backward, but his speed was no match for those flying broken weapons. Weapon after weapon stabbed at him, all deflected by the Bone Shield;

In the midst of the bristling onslaught of weapons, Song Jian saw streaks of purple and red glimmers shining brightly in the dim sky;

“So many epic-quality weapons hidden below…” A sharp pain seized Song Jian’s heart. If he had been even a moment later, all these weapons would have belonged to him.

But just as these weapons reached midair, Song Jian suddenly noticed a purple light slowly rising from the deepest part of the pile of rocks;

It was a sword, but a broken one, with only a third of its blade remaining. The sword emitted a purple glow—not quite purple, significantly different from the epic-quality purple-red, but more like a dazzling gold.

“Purple gold…” Song Jian’s eyes widened: “This, this is a Legendary Level weapon, purple gold…”

This was the first time Song Jian had seen a weapon stronger than the epic quality, a broken Legendary Level sword.

“Sword Immortal Severed Blade!” These four words suddenly flashed in Song Jian’s mind;

The Legendary Level weapon slowly ascended, and in an instant, all the swords blown into the air seemed to be controlled and became frozen in place. After a one-second pause, all the weapons clattered to the ground.

In the air, only six weapons emitting a purple-red glow were left, along with the Severed Blade that rose like a small sun;

The six epic-quality weapons trembled ever so slightly, and even the Death’s Scythe in Song Jian’s inventory vibrated as if in fear.

“Whip, dagger, armguard, battleaxe…” Song Jian was momentarily mesmerized by the six weapons;

Then, the rising sword Severed Blade suddenly drew an arc in midair, and with a “clang,” it struck the epic-quality battleaxe;

One collision broke the epic-quality axe in two, and then the sword, as if wielded by an unseen hand, whirled in the air, grinding the battleaxe into dust. It felt as though it was dismembering a body after a murder, and a strong sense of vengeance wafted from the Severed Blade;

The other five epic-quality weapons let out a mournful cry, then rapidly fled in five different directions. But the Severed Blade, not content with destroying one weapon, barely swayed in the air and split into four identical copies of itself, each looking exactly like the first Severed Blade.

These five Severed Blades pursued the five fleeing epic-quality weapons, determined to utterly annihilate them;

Before long, Song Jian heard five clear, ringing sounds of slashing coming faintly to his ears;

Suddenly thinking of something, Song Jian’s face changed drastically, and a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his cheek;

“If this broken sword is indeed the Sword Immortal Severed Blade, my task is to destroy it, but…”

The power to shatter an Epic Quality weapon with a single strike, if such a force were to strike Song Jian, no matter how formidable his strength, his end would be instant annihilation;

Just then, the phalanx bone in Song Jian’s package suddenly burst into dazzling light, vibrating intensely as if to remind Song Jian of something.

Song Jian hurriedly took out the phalanx bone, knowing that the task of fulfilling the Demon Lord’s last wish was triggered by this very bone.

The moment the bone was taken out, seven shadowy apparitions of Demon Ritualists suddenly materialized behind Song Jian, their ferocious gaze fixed on Song Jian and the floating bone, their monstrous maws silent in their roar;

At that moment, the bone also manifested the shadow of a demon, a diminutive figure with horns entwining the skull and the back of the head, and eyes crimson as blood;

“Shadow Demon…” Song Jian looked at the apparition of the demon, suddenly feeling something strange deep inside;

“I am the Eighth Demon King, Ancient Leiya!” The apparition of the Shadow Demon glanced at Song Jian, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of its mouth, “How ironic, that my resurrection was triggered and accomplished by a human!”

After Ancient Leiya spoke, a look of terror appeared on the faces of the Demon Ritualist apparitions, as each one of them knelt on one knee and paid respects to Ancient Leiya;

“For my true resurrection, I need the last piece of the puzzle!” Ancient Leiya turned his gaze to the seven Demon Ritualists, smiling broadly, “That is, I need an endless supply of faith to rebuild my body. All the faith you have gathered over the years, give it all to me.”

Having spoken, Ancient Leiya opened his great maw and sucked fiercely. The apparitions of the seven Demon Ritualists were drawn by an invisible force, flying towards the mouth of Ancient Leiya;

Over a hundred years, the seven Demon Ritualists had continually performed blood sacrifices to resurrect their respective Demon Lords, accumulating a vast amount of racial faith, but unexpectedly, it all ended up benefiting the Eighth Demon King;

“My successor, well done!” The Eighth Demon King showed a grotesque smile to Song Jian, raising his right hand. Song Jian suddenly felt the Book of the Abyss within him begin to slip out of his control, slowly “squeezing” out from his body.

The Book of the Abyss was still in a sealed state, awaiting its final transformation, but under the Summoning of the Eighth Demon King, the Book of the Abyss flew into his left palm and was grasped firmly;

“Old friend, long time no see!” The Eighth Demon King gently stroked over the Book of the Abyss with his right hand, instantly releasing the seal; brilliant tricolored divine light burst forth from the surface of the Book of the Abyss;

“A Demi-God Artifact…” Song Jian stared at the Book of the Abyss in the Eighth Demon King’s hands, his throat felt dry, and he was overcome with the sensation of preparing a wedding gown for someone else.

All the hard work he put into collecting the seven Flames of Demons, and was about to upgrade the Book of the Abyss into a Demi-God Artifact, yet at the last moment, it was taken by the Eighth Demon King who had fallen for who knows how long. The thought alone was profoundly saddening;

At that moment, from a distance, five purple-golden meteors flew by, dragging long trails of flame, the Eighth Demon King’s expression suddenly changed, and stretching a hand toward Song Jian, he shouted in a low voice, “Give it to me!”
