Chapter 957: Chapter 958 Development_1

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation has several stages, but Song Jian doesn’t know how many. This was the first time he triggered the third stage.

“It looks just like a palm…” Song Jian thought to himself.

However, just as the faint palm silhouette had formed, the entire sword formation suddenly flickered a few times and wobbled slightly. In no time, the entire palm collapsed, and countless Sword Qi surged forth, covering an area of over a dozen meters.

A string of hundreds of points of damage floated above the BOSS’s head, which didn’t amount to much for a Dominance-level BOSS. But for a Boss that was already severely injured, it became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Boom~

With a loud noise, the BOSS’s body completely shattered, and a semi-transparent white shadow drifted out from the fragments, flying directly towards Song Jian.

This was the BOSS’s soul. It let out a terrified roar but couldn’t make a sound; it could only passively fly towards Song Jian, as if a powerful suction force was controlling it.

“That makes four Dominance-level BOSSes. This seems to be the fourth one. It looks like if I can clear this dungeon, I should be able to complete a substantial part of the Sword Immortal’s quest,” Song Jian thought to himself. With a thought, his consciousness entered the broken Divine Country where it had started drizzling. The raindrops nourished everything on the ground, and many parched lands began to recover slowly. The soul energy of a Dominance-level BOSS was incredibly powerful; slaying one could visibly speed up the restoration of the fragmented Divine Country.

“It’s a pity; the third stage appeared, but it had no power and couldn’t even take shape,” Song Jian shook his head. The aura emitted by that palm during the formation of the sword array had been even more terrifying than the Red Lotus Sword, but unfortunately, perhaps due to the low level of the Thousand Swords Art, while he had triggered the sword array’s third stage, it ultimately collapsed.

“I must upgrade the level of the Thousand Swords Art quickly!” Song Jian thought to himself.

The Thousand Swords Art, already at level 5, was becoming increasingly difficult to improve in proficiency with sword techniques below golden quality. Even a golden quality Skill Book could only enhance a little proficiency. To upgrade the level of the Thousand Swords Art quickly, it was necessary to consume Epic or even Legendary Level skills.

But such skills were not only scarce, many people had not even heard of them, and the market would not have such high-quality skills; it was all down to luck whether one could kill a BOSS and obtain them.

Song Jian’s gaze turned to the items dropped by the BOSS, hoping it would drop one or two high-quality Skill Books, but unfortunately, after a long search, he did not find any items resembling books or scrolls.

“An epic-level scale armor, what a shame, I can only wear leather armor. Damn it, Sword Masters should also be considered a Swordman profession. Why can’t I wear scale armor?” Song Jian looked at the scale armor with excellent attributes and thought annoyed;

Scale armor was a kind of chain mail that provided much higher defense than leather armor but was not as good as plate armor. However, in terms of flexibility, chain mail was far superior to plate armor. Many melee professions that could not wear plate would opt for chain mail equipment.

“Maybe it’s because my damage is too high and, for balance, the system won’t allow me to wear chain mail?” Song Jian thought to himself. But with his current attributes and equipment, even many plate-wearing professions did not have as high Vitality Points and defense, not to mention Song Jian’s immense offensive power.

The first boss of the dungeon didn’t put much pressure on Song Jian. There was no need to use the newly acquired Eclipse Shattered Light Slash skill, as a fifth-tier Thousand Swords Art had already triggered the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, which was more than enough to easily exterminate the first boss. Although the subsequent bosses were each stronger than the last, they were essentially on the same level; the scope of their power increase wasn’t significant. The most they could vary was between the early and peak combat power of the first tier, never breaking through to reach the second tier.

Having witnessed the strength of the first boss in the true difficulty, Song Jian was greatly reassured. Initially, he had only wanted to try out a dungeon on true difficulty, but now it seemed he had a good chance of clearing it. After all, the cooldown period for this dungeon was excessively long. Missing one opportunity would likely cause a delay in his territory expansion campaign.

…

Meanwhile, in the now-sealed Sky City, the eight-winged Illusion Angel Doranto was sitting in the central City Lord Mansion, which had just been established. Next to him stood Zhuo Wen, who had evolved to a six-winged Battle Angel, with a respectful demeanor.

“Zhuo Wen, now in the entire Sky City, it’s down to just you and me, the two remaining angels,” the Illusion Angel Doranto sighed as he looked up into the distance.

For many days, he and Zhuo Wen had cleared all the monsters in Sky City. Now, it was as quiet as a city of the dead, but the dungeons were still preserved.

“Lord Doranto, we need your guidance on how to develop Sky City from here,” Zhuo Wen said respectfully. Had it not been for the numerous Hearts of the Angel in the Sacred Spirit Temple, Zhuo Wen would not have been able to advance from an ordinary two-winged Battle Angel to a six-winged one. However, Zhuo Wen couldn’t stop thinking about the legendary-quality Heart of the Angel that Song Jian had taken. If he had devoured that Heart of the Angel back then, he would be the one sitting on the throne in the City Lord Mansion.

This thought gnawed at him like a persistent poison, constantly biting at his soul, but he dared not show any of it on his face, for he knew that the legendary-quality Heart of the Angel eventually went to Illusion Angel Doranto, which allowed him to regain his former power.

“Heh, the development of Sky City…” Doranto chuckled slightly, seemingly not that interested in the city’s development.

“What do you think we should do to develop this city?” Doranto asked with a smile.

“My lord, I believe we should not keep Sky City sealed off…” Zhuo Wen sneaked a glance at Doranto and, seeing he wasn’t angered, continued, “We should encourage the god-blessed ones to come to this city. With their power, we can develop the city. Perhaps we can choose some of the outstanding talents among them and offer them the chance to change factions and lineages…”

“You mean to select Angel candidates from them—or even Battle Angels?” Doranto suddenly became serious, staring at Zhuo Wen, and asked word by word.

Zhuo Wen immediately felt an overwhelming pressure. The aura emanating from the Illusion Angel swept over him, vast and deep, causing Zhuo Wen’s heart to pound.
