Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1822: 887: The Torch's Rise to Fame

The enormous frame of the Chaos Giant Elephant abruptly went rigid.

As a being of the Eleventh Rank among Mythical Creatures, its senses were incredibly acute. Right as the insect horde pulled back, a chilling intent to kill from the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant locked on like solid restraints, firmly gripping every part of its hide.

“Moo—!”

A profound, alarmed bellow ripped across the heavens while the surrounding Chaos Qi churned wildly around the colossal elephant. Its sturdy trunk lashed out like a toppling pillar from the skies, striving to rip open the fabric of space for a getaway.

Yet, the moment had already passed.

“Suppress!”

Thanks to the perfect harmony among the intentions of Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and Ying Yi, all six limbs of the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant shifted together. The Miracle Weapons, still marked by the blood of the Corrosive Emperor Insect, flared up once more with stunning light.

On this occasion, the glow didn't expand outward but instead shrank swiftly, morphing into three intertwined Chaos Rule Chains—

One wound across dimensions and time, freezing all events in place; another stabbed into emptiness, striking straight at the core of the laws; the final one blazed with intense flames, aimed at burning away all existence.

These three chains, resembling divine lances of verdict emerging from Chaos itself, bridged the gap in an instant and coiled tightly around the immense form of the Chaos Giant Elephant, vast as a chain of towering peaks.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Its hide, durable enough to endure a star's collision, along with its Chaos Energy, got wildly ensnared by the three Rule Chains. Despite its fierce resistance, escape proved impossible in the near term, and its bid to slip into the void came to a sudden stop.

“Roar!!!”

An furious bellow escaped the Chaos Giant Elephant as its gigantic form thrashed about savagely, shaking the space across countless light-years with every violent motion. The remnants of Human Emperor City far below remained shielded by Ferdinand's Five-Colored Space Locking Component; without it, the Torch Fleet inside would have faced devastating losses.

Still, such efforts proved pointless.

By failing to vanish into the void right away, this Eleventh Rank Chaos Giant Elephant had forfeited its last shot at fleeing.

High above The Vault of Heaven, the power source in the torso of the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant stood exposed. What was once the primary energy unit had turned into a dark, ominous barrel of a cannon. Guided by the combined thoughts of Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and Ying Yi, the shadowy barrel unleashed a furious blast, firing a ray that could obliterate all in its path.

“Destroy!”

No flashy explosion occurred—just a plain, dark path infused with the essence of total annihilation that descended silently.

In that instant, time appeared to halt.

The Chaos Giant Elephant's frantic struggles ceased, and terror faded from its gaze.

Seconds later, a thin crimson streak emerged on its brow, running clean through its whole body.

The third Eleventh Rank Mythical Alien Race had met its end.

And with that, the deed was done.

As this Chaos Giant Elephant perished—or truly, ever since the Corrosive Insect Swarm had opted to withdraw—the sparse survivors from the Five Races Alliance had utterly abandoned any desire to battle.

After the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant finished off the Eleventh Rank Chaos Giant Elephant completely, the foreign beings clustered near Human Emperor City had already dispersed in panic, though a handful of Mythical Enslaved Creatures and Song Chi employed all tricks to detain several Tenth Rank aliens in flight.

Aided by the now-unbound Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant, these detained Mythical Alien Races fell quickly, and soon after separating from their merge, Jiang Yuan and his allies gathered every Torch Captain of Ninth Rank or higher within the city for an urgent summit.

Regarding the escaped Eleventh Rank Myth—Yan Hou

Jiang Yuan and the others paid it no mind, since the top priority remained rallying the Torch Warship Legion and launching a renewed advance beyond their borders.

…

In the Human Emperor Hall, serving as the supreme hub of command, a heavy and solemn air hung, mixed with the thrill of having endured a dire catastrophe.

Seated at the head were Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand—the four longstanding Human Emperors of their civilization—plus Song Chi, recognized by everyone as the fifth Torch Human Emperor. Arrayed below them sat Jiang Yi, Ying Wei, Wilson, Ji Qing, and dozens of Ninth Rank Superdimensional Captains.

Though weariness weighed on all after the fierce turmoil of combat, their stares burned with keen intensity.

All present knew the topics ahead would shape the enduring success of the Torch Civilization as a whole.

A holographic Star Chart projected in the hall's midst, vividly displaying the broad swaths of Chaos Divine Land under Human Emperor City's sway, plus the positions of more than a hundred Chaos Cities seized by the Alien Race Alliance Army over previous years.

Standing out among these were the Superlimit Level [Heaven-Reaching Chaos City] and key sites like [Split Mountain Ancestor City], glowing as the brightest crimson beacons.

Jiang Yuan broke the silence first, his tone firm and laced with firm resolve:

“Everyone, we claimed a costly win in this fight, our civilization suffering steep losses, Human Emperor City reduced to near ruins, and many allies lost. But from peril comes possibility; the Alien Race Alliance's core troops are scattered, their elite fighters severely weakened, giving us the ideal opening to push outward!”

Ji Heng chimed in, gesturing to the myriad glowing dots on the Star Chart:

“Most of these captured Chaos Cities saw their defenses wrecked, and their guards pulled thin like never before to join the alliance forces—particularly Tongtian City and Split Mountain Ancestor City. As the ancestral homes of the Chaos Demon Ape clan and Split Mountain Ancient Ape clan, the regions nearby brim with resources and hold key strategic value. Capturing them would provide solid bases, securing our civilization's position in the Heavenly Ape Star Realm and even across Chaos Divine Land, ending the days of holding lone outposts!”

Ying Yi's gaze gleamed with vivid energy, his battle eagerness surging:

“Precisely! We must capitalize on this momentum! Yan Hou got away, but he's badly hurt and won't be battle-ready anytime soon.”
