Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1782 - 869: Myth Triple Kill_2
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
A sudden upheaval occurred just as the Hell Three-headed Dog reached the brink of death!
The core mass of gray mist energy within its form expanded violently, tearing itself away from the host and shifting into a streak of gray light as it attempted to flee into the distance.
Song Chi felt a slight jolt of surprise in his heart, yet his reflexes remained lightning-fast. The mirror image warship emitted a three-colored radiance, activating a replica of the "Zen Seal: External Time Stop" feature from the Purusa Zen Seal.
"You think you can escape?"
Song Chi let out a cold snort. The multicolored light of the time-stop struck the gray mist energy body with precision just as it cleared the Hell Three-headed Dog’s carcass. Instantly, the energy form was frozen mid-air, suspended high in the sky.
However, this single measure was insufficient. While he felt a deep curiosity toward this gray mist entity—given it was likely the mastermind behind the destruction of the Overlord Immortal Domain civilization—it remained far too perilous to leave uncontained for a cultivator only at the ninth rank life level.
Alternative methods existed, such as utilizing the "Time·Prison" of the Time Chess Board or the "Eternal Sleep" function of the Eternal Flame Hibernation Chamber for a temporary seal. However, the former would become impossible to unload once used, and the latter lacked the necessary quality to guarantee the absolute containment of such a dangerous energy body.
Faced with these significant drawbacks, Song Chi opted for a more ruthless solution.
Shhh——
The mirror image warship’s hatch slid open, and a Hei Shi was cast out into the void.
The next phase involved replicating the tactic used against the Ice Spear Winged Dragon God: employing the "Virtual and Real Conversion" of the Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb to momentarily bridge the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s main body to the Immortal Domain Continent ruins.
Once positioned, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong unleashed a concentrated barrage from all ship cannons. The Hell Three-headed Dog, clinging to its final breath, was vaporized instantly. As for the Tenth Rank Gray Mist Energy Body, it presented a more unique challenge.
Being an energy-based life form, standard ship cannons posed little threat to its ethereal structure.
Yet, this did not deter Song Chi.
The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong possessed a highly specialized ship cannon for such occasions.
[Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon]
Though categorized as a main cannon and inferior in raw destructive power to super main cannons like the Star-Annihilating Cannon or the Star River Cannon, it had been upgraded to Black Ultimate quality. The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder itself was an attack of supreme yang and extreme strength, making it the natural bane of soul bodies, evil spirits, and similar entities.
Furthermore, when synchronized with the "Hunting God’s Weakness Mark" from the Blood Spear and the "Black Hole·Singularity Sacrificial Explosion" of the Black Hole Evolution Layer, its lethality was formidable.
[Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon]·"Nine-layered Purple Cloud Destruction Tribulation Thunder" [Blood Spear]·"Hunting God’s Weakness Mark" [Black Hole Evolution Layer]·"Black Hole·Singularity Sacrificial Explosion" [Origin Star’s All Heavens Reflection]·"Origin Star’s Origin Core"
With the final amplification from the "Origin Star’s Origin Core" providing a massive 950% boost to full combat power, the destructive potential of the Nine-layered Purple Cloud Destruction Tribulation Thunder became truly cataclysmic.
Woo woo woo!
Amidst the onslaught of the Nine-layered Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, the gray mist energy body could only emit agonizing wails. It was systematically torn apart and completely erased under the relentless bombardment of consecutive tribulation thunder strikes.
Back within the Ruin Market Firmament, inside the now-recalled control room of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
Song Chi walked toward the cloned Blood Holy Grail component.
[Luck Holy Blood Storage Pool: Tenth Rank Frost Winged Dragon Luck Holy Blood, Tenth Rank Hell Three-headed Dog Luck Holy Blood, Tenth Rank Gray Mist Energy Body Luck Holy Blood, Ninth Rank Corpse Emperor Luck Holy Blood, Ninth Rank Rakshasa Race Luck Holy Blood...]
Noting the visible increase in Tenth Rank Holy Blood from both the Hell Three-headed Dog and the Gray Mist Energy Body, Song Chi gave a satisfied nod.
With these resources, his chances of success when he eventually attempted to impact the Mythical Immortal Ship rank would be significantly bolstered.
Setting those thoughts aside, Song Chi redirected his consciousness back to the mirror image warship.
The battle was over, but the gray mist region currently occupied by the mirror image warship still demanded a thorough investigation.
Experience suggested that areas favored by such gray mist entities were usually significant: perhaps a burial ground filled with corpses, an ancient battlefield of the Immortal Domain, or the former site of a prestigious Super Immortal Sect or a grand Daoist dojo. All were worth scouting.
Although he had used the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to deploy the Heaven and Earth Sealing Tower’s blockade curtain, the duration of such a seal was limited, necessitating speed.
The Heaven and Earth Sealing Tower could prevent a target from retreating, but Song Chi was unsure if these gray mist beings shared a collective consciousness. It was entirely possible that the death of a Tenth Rank entity had already been felt by similar beings elsewhere in the Immortal Domain Continent ruins.
These were merely his own cautious theories, but they had to be respected. Before the blockade curtain of the Heaven and Earth Sealing Tower dissolved, the mirror image warship had to complete its sweep; time was of the essence.
...
The mirror image warship glided through the zones thick with gray mist energy. Song Chi pushed the ship's detection arrays to their maximum capacity, meticulously scanning every inch of the surrounding terrain.
Suddenly, the ship's sensors flagged an irregular energy signature.
"Hmm? What have we here?"
Song Chi pivoted the warship immediately, steering toward the origin of the energy pulse.
As he drew closer, the holographic displays sharpened, revealing an ancient complex of buildings partially swallowed by the gray mist. Despite the heavy damage and collapsed structures, the remnants still whispered of a majestic past.
"Just as I thought. This appears to be the ruins of a high-level Immortal Gate from the era of the Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization."
A glint of excitement appeared in Song Chi’s eyes as he brought the mirror image warship down for a landing.
Meanwhile, he commanded the Skeleton Giants—who had remained deployed—to establish a defensive perimeter, guarding against any potential ambushes from other gray mist monstrosities.
With the ship stabilized, Song Chi used the holographic projection to study the ruins in detail.
The centerpiece was an elegant tower that stood in stark contrast to the surrounding rubble. It was etched with intricate runes and possessed an aura that was clearly extraordinary.
"These runes... they seem to be infused with the laws of space."
This discovery triggered an instinctive alarm in Song Chi’s mind. A suspicion began to form, but before he could process it, the warship’s artificial intelligence blared a warning.
[Warning! High-energy reaction detected!]
Song Chi’s heart raced. Before his eyes, a violent spatial distortion erupted from the elegant tower. A beam of gray light shot toward the heavens from the tower’s peak, causing the surrounding mist to churn like a stormy sea.
"This is bad—it's a space transmission!"
Song Chi realized the truth instantly: the tower functioned as a long-distance transport device, and it was currently being triggered!
"Boom——!"
In a deafening explosion, the mirror image warship transformed into a brilliant storm of energy, consuming the entire ruin site.
The suddenness of the event left no time for standard ship cannons to charge. Aside from the secondary cannons, the main weaponry required too much time to fire, and the "Zen Seal: Inner Speed" feature of the Purusa Zen Seal replica was still on cooldown from the previous fight.
In that desperate moment, the only way to disrupt the transmission was the immediate self-destruction of the mirror image warship.
An energy cloud shaped like a mushroom billowed across the ruins. By the time the mirror image warship was reconstituted through the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess" feature, the ruins below had been obliterated.
The transmission tower, of course, was gone along with it.
"Oh?"
Suddenly, Song Chi let out a soft cry of surprise, having spotted something in the aftermath.
The mirror image warship adjusted its course, descending slowly toward the ruins of a side temple. There, partially hidden by the wreckage, was a shimmering spatial vortex.
"Could this be... the entrance to a secret realm?"
Uncertain, Song Chi summoned several Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines. He etched them with his brainwave imprints and dispatched them from the ship.
The figurines returned shortly with encouraging news. A secret realm did indeed exist beyond that spatial gateway.
However, the exact grade of the secret realm remained a mystery; the mirror image warship would need to cross the threshold personally to find out.
