Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1842 - 896: Undercurrent

In the boundless quiet of the cosmos, an immense ancient stellar tree, stretching almost a trillion kilometers tall with roots spanning multiple light-years, loomed grandly. Close to its enormous trunk, a warship of comparable magnitude hovered silently. Right then, a beam of eerie glow burst from the warship, striking exactly on the primary trunk of the ancient stellar tree.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's command center, Song Chi observed the agonizingly sluggish dragging pace and gave a faint shake of his head.

No other choice existed, given the sheer immensity of the War Puppet Mother Tree. Although the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong ranked as a Tenth Rank warship, and the War Puppet Mother Tree willingly assisted, shifting it remained a challenging feat.

Because of that, Song Chi had devoted several years to completing this relocation effort.

With steady guidance, he directed the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, bolstering it with his personal Tenth Rank Spectral Energy, while syncing with the War Puppet Mother Tree to withdraw its roots and compact its essence. Only through this could its gigantic form be laboriously drawn into the Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm.

Inside that secret realm, a spacious dedicated zone had been set up long ago for this fresh inhabitant. As soon as the War Puppet Mother Tree's roots contacted the nutrient-rich ground enhanced by time acceleration in the secret realm, they plunged in frantically on instinct, hungrily devouring the abundant power. The trunk, scarred from the compelled relocation, started mending at a noticeable rate, and a soft glow resumed circulating through the branches, signaling the impending reactivation of this "puppet factory."

After securing this grandest prize adequately, Song Chi wasted no time, steering the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to wipe out remnants from the earlier star domain conflict. After verifying that the Silver Goblin Empire held no chance of uncovering clues, he headed back to the Torch Human Civilization Territory using the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

During the ensuing two centuries, Song Chi's journeys spanned numerous ancient star regions and hazardous restricted zones, often involving interdimensional hunts via the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, along with posting lavish bounties.

His objective stood crystal clear: locating a legendary stellar sky plant core, aiming to propel the Golden Apple Mother Tree toward its ultimate evolution.

Yet, legendary stellar sky plants proved exceedingly scarce. Despite Song Chi's remarkable skills and fortunes, various trails ultimately led to dead ends or items already claimed by others.

Right when he pondered proposing a Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill as bait, a pressing family transmission raced over vast light-years via the Torch Network of the Original Torch Seed, igniting his enthusiasm.

The dispatch didn't concern the legendary stellar sky plant core; instead, it detailed the family's male Ninth Rank Dragon Spine Dominator Whale, which on the S08 Resource Floating Land, seizing the chance from the land's elevation, had started striving for the Tenth Rank Mythical Realm.

Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, Second Torch River System Community.

The former Eighth Rank Peak Floating Land S08 now faced a world-shaking metamorphosis. Overwhelming power surged from the floating land's nucleus, morphing into a thick primordial energy surge that engulfed the whole area. Law runes descended like a downpour, earth veins surged upward, the sky dome widened, and the entire floating land thundered forward in evolution toward a grander, steadier state—rising to Ninth Level Floating Land status.

Right in the midst of this powerful energy surge, buried deep in the earth core domain, a colossal whale, its frame rivaling a basic floating land, ascended into the sky, unleashing a prolonged, echoing whale cry that rattled the galaxy.

This was none other than the Song Family’s Ninth Rank Dragon Spine Dominator Whale. Its enormous form lingered over the Floating Land Origin Core's luminous cluster, tapping into the immense power from the floating land’s elevation and the drug's potency from the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill, already granted by Song Chi.

Moreover, after consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Body Pill, it was wrapped in a sheen of deep-golden hue, eternal and unbreakable, the traits of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body driven to their utmost.

Indeed, the breakthrough duration wasn't extended, but it left the myriad Song Clan members watching this spot in awe, breath held tight.

Ultimately, this tied into the birth of the Dragon Spine Song Family’s third mythical entity.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Spine Dominator Whale bellowed in agony and resistance, its resilient scale plating ripping apart nonstop under the savage Rule Power of a mythical rank charge, only to mend swiftly thanks to its robust life force and golden body influence.

Right then, the heart of the Mythical Dragon Spine Dominator Whale acquired from the Fu Yao Pei Family got gulped down in a single gulp, its tremendous bloodline power igniting wildly inside its frame, fueling the ultimate push against the mythical threshold.

The energy surge from the floating land’s elevation intensified further, as if supplying it with boundless sustenance.

Nevertheless, even so, it merely drew nearer to the mythical rank; shattering that threshold completely stayed a daunting challenge.

True to form, just shortly after, the intense presence encircling the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale abruptly faded, marking its official defeat in this charge.

At that sight, Song Chi, who had remained hidden nearby throughout, revealed the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Swirling seven-colored time forces enveloped the vessel. Before long, a compact zone of earth core space focused on the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale slipped into time reversal, restoring the earlier-consumed Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill and Mythical Dragon Spine Dominator Whale Heart.

Following Song Chi’s cue, the Ninth Rank Dragon Spine Dominator Whale hastily ingested the pair once more. Capitalizing on the persistent primordial energy surge under the floating land, it initiated a fresh bid to reach mythical rank.

On this occasion, drawing from the previous trial's lessons, the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale swiftly regained its former drive. Yet this round, it held back no longer. At the height of the power buildup, it struck straight at the mythical threshold deep within itself.

No soul could tell the span of time that elapsed, but at last, as the energy surge neared its end, something within the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale snapped with a sharp crack—that marked the mythical barrier's breach.
