Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1749 - 853: Battle Against the Shi Clan (Part 2)

"The 'Circulation Star Formation' on the Human Emperor City side has already been engaged," he explained in a soft tone, his resonant voice transmitting to every captain within the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s cabin.

"The Circulation Star Formation will remain active as long as the Origin Star Exploration Mission continues. With the Projection Rank established by Greedy Wolf and several Ninth Rank Enslaved Creatures standing guard, the security of Human Emperor City is fully guaranteed!"

By bolstering the captains' morale, he successfully eliminated everyone’s lingering anxieties, ensuring they could concentrate entirely on the exploration of the Origin Star.

...

Deep within the Burial God’s Abyss on the surface of the Origin Star.

Standing a hundred billion kilometers tall, the Chaos Demon Ape abruptly stopped. Its dark golden eyes mirrored the distorted void in the firmament above, while the Buddhist runes etched across its massive frame pulsed with violent light.

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a thunderous howl, the blood crystal giant axe gripped by the ape expanded rapidly, morphing into a blood-hued prism that spanned the heavens. Its mirror-like surfaces reflected five approaching ship silhouettes, with each refracted beam surging with enough energy to annihilate entire star systems.

However, before the strike could land, time and space were rendered motionless.

"Snap!"

Simultaneously, Song Chi and Jiang Yuan triggered their Time Chess Board components. Centered on the Burial God’s Abyss, time and space within a ten-light-second radius were instantly decelerated by several thousand times.

Even the flickering Buddhist runes on the Chaos Demon Ape’s skin were frozen like golden amber—only the blood-colored prism continued a sluggish rotation, a testament to the incredible power of this Seven-Colored Strange Object.

"Strike!"

Tearing through the stagnated space-time first was the Profound Yellow Red Yu. The clone of the Mythical Immortal Ship manifested above the ape's head as the Seven-Colored Immortal Godslaying Cannon unleashed a surge of annihilating energy, piercing forward with ruinous force.

As the beam surged through, thirty-three layers of celestial shadows appeared, each layer containing a massive bronze city descending to suppress the foe.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Thirty-three successive bell tolls shook the heavens, shattering the Chaos Demon Ape's layers of Buddhist shielding. In a fury, the ape swung its arms, causing the blood-colored prism to suddenly refract an image of the Profound Yellow Red Yu—instantly duplicating Ji Heng’s technique. Two identical beams of annihilation collided in the emptiness of the void.

Amidst the resulting explosion, Jiang Yuan’s Shenxia Jiuli Ship executed a sudden flank maneuver.

The Haotian Mortal Strike Divine Light was aimed directly at the Myth Half-Dragon Man. Five-colored rule chains manifested from the void, binding the Half-Dragon protector tightly just as it prepared to offer support.

These rule chains were specifically carved with Dragon Suppression Runes to neutralize dragon-type entities.

"Amitabha—"

In that moment, the Half-Dragon protector chanted Shi Clan true words, causing the swastika on its forehead to glow brilliantly.

Eighty-four thousand shariras materialized around it, each one housing the phantom of an Ancestor Buddha. A terrifying conversion force traveled back along the chains, beginning to manifest signs of Buddhist transformation upon the armor of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

[Holy Light Punishment] [Order Light] [Judgment Light]

Emerging from the void, the flagship clones of Song Chi and his allies merged into the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant. Three savage cannon muzzles appeared on its dual heads and chest, firing destruction beams at the eighty-four thousand sharira phantoms hovering above the Half-Dragon protector.

Every sharira was engulfed by a precise implosion wave. The collision of holy light and Buddha power triggered a chain of annihilations, forcing pained cries from the Half-Dragon protector.

Though the tide of battle seemed to be turning in their favor, Song Chi suddenly detected a discrepancy.

"Watch out!"

Before he could finish his warning, three golden Buddha hands emerged from the depths of the Burial God’s Abyss. A complete Law River was etched into each palm, and the vertical eyes in their centers reflected the threads of cause and effect across the field—even peering into future moments yet to pass.

This was the Buddhist Torch True Words Great Divine Skills.

It was an obvious intervention from the Shi Clan Ancestor Buddha supporting the two Mythical Protectors.

Before the Profound Yellow Red Yu or the Shenxia Jiuli Ship could make another move, daunting true words resonated from the abyss.

"Torch Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, is it truly your intent to fight my Shi Clan to the death?"

"Retreat this instant, and past animosities shall be forgotten; today’s cause and effect will not be tallied!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s freezing laughter rang out from within the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

"Forget the resentment? Overlook the consequences?"

"Absurd. If the Torch Civilization were not strong enough, the four clans would have dismantled it long ago. The discord between our clans was orchestrated entirely by your Shi Clan. And now, you suggest we let it go?"

Following his words, both the Profound Yellow Red Yu and the Shenxia Jiuli Ship acted in unison, moving to forcibly overpower the ancestral protectors.

"Ying Yi!"

Simultaneously, the pair summoned Song Chi’s group. The Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant charged boldly toward the Chaos Demon Ape Guardian, which held the top-tier [Chaos Mirror Image Stone].

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

The Buddhist Six-Word Mantra suddenly boomed from the Burial God’s Abyss. The chant transformed into a Buddha Light Hand Seal, striking toward the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant.

Song Chi and his companions did not flinch. The two small worlds on the Mecha Giant’s shoulders and the large world upon its head ascended together, forming the Three Corpses Great Realm to intercept the Buddha Light Hand Seal while they continued their charge toward the ape.

As the Three Corpses Great Realm crashed into the Buddha Light Hand Seal, the Origin Star’s atmosphere was torn asunder. The resulting shockwave ground mountains spanning billions of kilometers into dust, revealing the turbulent magma beneath the crust.

"Crack——"

With a sharp sound of fracturing, the outermost layer of the Three Corpses Great Realm shattered first. However, the fragments did not vanish; instead, they turned into billions of light streamers that snared the Buddha hand.

Each streamer exposed the Law Imprints of the Three Corpses Divine Shrine, sacrificing the world's structure to forcibly deconstruct the Buddhist True Words.

"So that’s the trick!" Ferdinand laughed suddenly as the Heavenly Light flagship began reconfiguring its "Reverse Buddha Cross" Super Main Cannon.

The cannon's surface displayed inverted true words that directly opposed the Buddha hand, a counter-measure formulated from the analysis of the shattered world fragments.

The Buddha hand shook violently as blood-red tears spilled from the vertical eye in its palm. A suppressed groan drifted from the Burial God’s Abyss, signaling that the Ancestor Buddha had suffered a backlash.

Seizing the opening, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha reached the Chaos Demon Ape. Its right arm shifted into a star blade billions of kilometers long, its edge shimmering with the blue light of the [High-dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon] as it lunged for the ape’s left palm and the Chaos Mirror Image Stone.

"Roar!"

Enraged, the Chaos Demon Ape caused the blood-colored prism to shatter into countless shards. Each fragment mirrored the mecha’s movements, weaving a lethal maze within the void.

This was its ultimate Strange Object ability, the "Ten Thousand Mirrors Maze," a technique that had previously slain a myth of equal standing.

"Be cautious!"

Song Chi’s shout echoed through the comms.

The Three Corpses Superstate Mecha darted through the Ten Thousand Mirrors Maze but found itself unable to bypass the traps set by the blood shards. Every piece carried enough power to sunder a Star River, and the mecha’s plating was already spider-webbed with cracks.

"Boom!"

A refracted beam clipped the mecha’s right shoulder, vaporizing the mechanical limb instantly.

Within the cockpit, the spiritual avatars of Song Chi and the others grew faint. Miles away from the Origin Star, their physical bodies were wracked with mental agony, the intensity of the link nearly causing them to lose consciousness.

"The analysis is complete!" Ferdinand yelled suddenly. "The refraction angles of these shards correspond to the Great Brahma Heaven derivative sequence!"

The Great Brahma Heaven was the river system cluster where the Shi Clan Civilization’s ancestral lands were located. Having parsed the sequence through the flagship’s brain, Ferdinand aimed the "Reverse Buddha Cross" Super Main Cannon and unleashed a blinding Holy Light.

The beam took seven bizarre turns in the void, each refraction hitting a vital shard with perfect accuracy.

"Crack——"

A moment of instability appeared in the blood maze.

"Go now!" Ying Yi ordered sharply.

The back of the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant opened, deploying hundreds of bronze war puppet replicas. Each puppet brandished chains marked with Dragon Suppression Runes, weaving a massive net across the void.

The Chaos Demon Ape roared in fury, but the remaining blood shards were too slow to react.

Utilizing this brief window, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha used its remaining left arm—now a blue star blade—to plunge deep into the demon ape’s chest.

"Roar!!"

The demon ape shrieked in agony as the Buddhist patterns across its body began to crack and crumble.
