I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 500 - Book of the Abyss

Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Book of the Abyss

Song Jian saw the Abyssal Ant King skeleton charging straight towards him, and his heart suddenly sank. Could it actually distinguish between the Abyssal Phantom and the real body? Is it because of the thick Abyssal aura on the Abyssal Phantom that it was detected by the enemy?

There were less than ten seconds left to open the treasure chest, but ten seconds was enough for the Abyssal Ant King to kill Song Jian three or four times.

Under Song Jian’s control, the Abyssal Phantom swung its sword and rushed towards the Abyssal Ant King. But first it struck, only to be blown away by the opponent’s wing. The sharp bone claw created a wound over a foot long on the Abyssal Phantom’s chest, with dense black qi spewing out like blood. In an instant, the Abyssal Phantom became much more illusory, its figure slightly flickering, as if it would disappear at any moment.

Song Jian was greatly surprised that the Abyssal Phantom was no match for the Abyssal Ant King skeleton!

Roar~!

The Abyssal Ant King spread its wings and roared at the black lake surface. In an instant, an invisible tornado rose from the lake surface, and a large amount of black lake water was rolled up to form a true black tornado;

Song Jian suddenly felt lighter around him. In a radius of ten meters around him, there was not a single drop of lake water, all of it being rolled up into midair. The Abyssal Power formed a circular wall, blocking the surrounding black lake water outside, creating a depression in the area.

Song Jian pressed his left hand on the Ant Emperor Treasure Box, his right hand clenched the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and, looking up, saw a hint of mockery in the eyes of the Abyssal Ant King skeleton.

The Abyssal Ant King tilted its head back and gathered a thick black qi in its mouth. Soon, it condensed a huge black energy ball with a diameter of over one meter;

Now, Song Jian couldn’t move at all, like a fixed target, and could only let the Abyssal Ant King accumulate power and perform its most powerful attack;

“I can’t go on like this. I must find a way not only to open the treasure chest but also to avoid being killed by the opponent in one hit!” Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed, cold sweat running down his cheeks.

The Abyssal Ant King skeleton, after being revived, was even more formidable than before. Otherwise, the Abyssal Phantom, possessing 70% of Song Jian’s strength, would not have been so severely injured that it couldn’t even withstand a single confrontation.

Song Jian thought quickly: “What methods do I have to stop it…?”

Just then, the Book of the Abyss in his dantian suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance. Song Jian was startled, and delight appeared on his face: “Damn it, how could I forget the Book of the Abyss…?”

With this thought, Song Jian sent a mental command, and the Book of the Abyss flew out of his body and floated in front of him.

Splash~

The Book of the Abyss opened itself, its pages flipping rapidly. When the pages stopped, a heavy sigh suddenly echoed across the entire lake surface.

Upon hearing this sigh, the Abyssal Ant King, which had been charging towards the lake surface like a cannonball, suddenly stiffened and stopped abruptly. A look of terror appeared in its ghostly green flame eyes.

Immediately, its six legs lay on the cold lake surface, its flesh wings drooped, and its head did not dare to rise, looking like a giant reptile trembling all over.

The black tornado had already begun to attack Song Jian, but the moment the Abyssal Ant King skeleton lost control, the uncontrolled tornado suddenly exploded with a loud bang, instantly shattering.

Tons of black lake water fell from the sky, as if it was a heavy downpour.

Due to the protective wall formed by the Abyssal Power around Song Jian, not only was the black tornado explosion blocked, but even the heavy rain was kept outside.

Seeing the Abyssal Ant King in such a state, Song Jian was overjoyed. Only a few seconds were left to open the treasure chest, but he didn’t expect that the Abyssal Ant King skeleton would actually be so humble in front of the Book of the Abyss.

What Song Jian didn’t know was that, the moment the Book of the Abyss appeared, the Priestess, who was originally sitting and reading a book in the New Media Library, suddenly paused, closed the book, and looked towards the direction of the Demonic Ant Nest. Her deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through millions of obstacles, and after a long time, the Priestess sighed deeply, her eyes filled with a touch of sadness and compassion.

Standing up, the Priestess drew a pale blue portal in the air, and stepped into it, disappearing from sight.

In a temple of the Goddess of Dawn, a brave Dawn Knight was kneeling on one knee, holding a sword in one hand and pressing it against his chest, bowing his head in prayer to the goddess statue;

At this time, a pale blue portal appeared behind him, and the Priestess Cecilia stepped out of the portal. Seeing the praying Dawn Knight Ia, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly;

“Ia!” The Priestess called out;

Ia raised his head, revealing a handsome and resolute face. Since being brought back to the Temple of the Goddess of Dawn by Cecilia, Ia had been under the tutelage of the Knights of Dawn.

By now, Ia’s level had reached 30, and as long as he passed the first-order combat power test, he could be promoted from a Dawn Knight to a Knight of Dawn.

“Lord Priestess!” Ia stood up and bowed deeply to Cecilia, speaking respectfully.

“Ia, the power of the Abyss is growing stronger and stronger. I need you to return to Song Jian’s side and help him fight against the Abyssal Power!” Cecilia said.

As the spokesperson of the Goddess, it was normal for the priestess to command the Goddess’ Guardian Knights. All the Knights of the Goddesses must obey the priestess’ orders.

Upon hearing this, Ia’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked into the priestess’ eyes and said, “Lord Priestess, although Song Jian is a God-favored one, he is not a follower of the great Goddess of Dawn. Moreover, I can also sense the presence of Abyssal Power on him…”

“Didn’t you also feel the presence of divine power on him?” the priestess suddenly retorted.

Ia remained silent. The main reason he was willing to follow Song Jian and become his Follower was that he sensed the Divine Power on Song Jian, and since Song Jian could also use the sword technique that only Knights of Dawn could use, Ia naturally considered him a follower of the Goddess of Dawn.

However, after being brought to the Goddess’ temple by the priestess, he realized that Song Jian was not a follower of the Goddess of Dawn. As a result, he didn’t care much about being his Follower and didn’t even want to return to Song Jian’s side at all.

“All of this is the Goddess’ will!” the priestess emphasized, “You must do your best to assist Song Jian, even if it means sacrificing your life!”

Ia shuddered, surprise appearing on his face. But when he saw Cecilia’s determined expression, he bowed his head and knelt on one knee before her, promising, “Dawn Guardian Knight Ia obeys Lord Priestess’s command!”
