Song Chi secured the cultivation secret realm beneath the Heavenly Ruins Continent, ensuring the Golden Apple Mother Tree remained hidden, before planning to retreat to the ruins market for cultivation amid looming cosmic conflicts. As his spiritual senses prepared for seclusion, the mini Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong activated its Mythical Coordinates feature, revealing a mythical artifact's location merely several trillion light-years away—within reach of his Space Wormhole Generator. To probe safely, he dispatched a mirror image warship, monitoring its journey via soul link while overseeing family development and guarding duties. The vessel emerged in a vast star domain dominated by the ferocious Starry Sea Insect Race, likely under a Primordial Mother Queen's direct control, where endless swarms plundered resources. Despite the perils of detection and assault, Song Chi guided the warship stealthily through biological sensing networks, eventually pinpointing a guarded nebula shrouded in murky dark green mist teeming with squirming spores that defied clear scanning.

What's even more alarming is how these dark green spores appear to harbor a profoundly fearsome corrosive force. Right upon touching the Mirror Image Warship's outer energy shield, a sharp "sizzling" noise of erosion rang out, while the energy levels plunged swiftly.

Evidently, the Spore Nebula stands as a horrifying natural defense on its own, sufficient to ward off most invaders and potentially convert them into sustenance for the spores themselves.

"Viral spores... and they can corrode Mythical-level energy variants!" Through the mirror image, Song Chi witnessed this spectacle, a cold shiver gripping his heart.

The Endless Star Sea truly brims with enigmas and surprises; not even a being of Eleventh Rank would eagerly venture into contact with such an unusual setting.

Yet, while these viral spores present a severe hazard to Eleventh Rank Mythical entities, they offer only minor peril to the Mirror Image Warship. The duplicated module, [Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture], upgraded ages ago to Level 120, swiftly cleanses any viral spores seeking to breach the vessel's insides.

Buzz!

From the warship's core, a soft white glow infused with total purification might expanded outward, establishing an Absolute Purification Domain with the Mirror Image Warship at its heart. As soon as the dark green viral spores crossed into this zone, their inner corrosive force got immediately nullified and cleansed, reduced to innocuous stellar particles that floated harmlessly aside.

Cleared by the Purification Domain, the Mirror Image Warship faced no further obstacles, carving through the thick spore haze like a keen blade, resolutely pressing toward the nebula's innermost reaches, where the [Eye of Truth] had secured the target coordinates.

But precisely as the Mirror Image Warship activated the duplicate [Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture] and boldly thrust into the Spore Nebula—

Hundreds of light-years off in the distance, buried within a colossal and nightmarish lair built from organic forms of unimaginable scale, a duo of frigid, detached colossal eyes—fashioned from myriad compound facets—suddenly flared wide.

An awe-inspiring consciousness spanned across the Starry Sea, materializing in an instant just beyond this Spore Nebula.

"Purification power... intruder..."

A hazy notion laced with ravenous desire pulsed faintly.

As the overlord of this expansive Star Domain, the formidable Eleventh Rank Mythical Primordial Mother Queen, it had long detected that unassuming minor interloper at the edge but chose not to intervene at once, instead observing with keen curiosity to discern the intruder's aims.

In truth, the mere fact of penetrating this domain highlighted the exceptional qualities of the Mirror Image Warship.

It might even probe the nebula's profound core—a region it itself hesitated to approach casually, owing to the concealed ancient virus nucleus—to expose any buried enigmas.

Now, though, with the foe wielding such a pristine purification artifact, seizing it would allow entry into the nebula's depths firsthand, averting any developments slipping from its grasp.

"Go, secure the outlet, await its exit... subdue it, retrieve that purification artifact, plus whatever it extracts from within."

Beneath the icy consciousness, the directive echoed forth.

In the very next instant, beyond the Spore Nebula, three voids warped abruptly, from which three massive, intimidating silhouettes surged into view, radiating crushing might and the aura of Eleventh Rank Mythical beings in utter silence.

Their shapes varied distinctly—one akin to a colossal scorpion, its tail barb glinting with icy sheen that could shred through laws; another like a demon dragon bearing multiple heads, each belching forth distinct ruinous energies; the final a fluidly morphing shadow that engulfed all light in its wake.

These three Eleventh Rank Mythical Primordial Emperor Insects served as the deadliest combat assets loyal to the Eleventh Rank Primordial Mother Queen, with each wielding dread strength to conquer single or several River System Communities.

Arrayed in a triangular formation, they sealed off the Spore Nebula completely, guaranteeing that no matter the Mirror Image Warship's emergence point, it would face inescapable encirclement and relentless hunt.
