Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1848 - 898: Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall Corrupt Poison Mushroom

In the external realm, Song Chi had no inkling of the unfolding events. Guided by his commands, the mirror image warship "Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong" glided stealthily, pushing forward amid the viscous and lethal dark green spore mist.

The duplicated "Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture" generated the Absolute Purification Domain, resembling a bubble that eroded and reformed endlessly, blocking out the infinite viral spores while producing a persistent, eerie "sizzle" noise.

As they ventured further in, the spores' thickness and corrosive power surged dramatically, even shifting into all sorts of strange configurations.

At times, they fused into a warped spectral visage shrieking silently, at others, they morphed into resilient organic vines attempting to snare the warship, and occasionally, they cascaded like a torrent of corrosive acid.

Facing this relentless and rapid assault, the Purification Domain bore immense strain, which only the mirror image warship, powered by dual Colorful Engines, managed to withstand; any lesser vessel would have collapsed under the drain.

Moreover, troubling updates arrived: the duplicated "Eye of Truth" scan radius had shrunk to its minimum, faintly outlining a mere few billion kilometers of hazy shapes in front.

While that distance appears vast, within a spore nebula spanning light-years, it offered scarcely more vision than total darkness.

Luckily, precise coordinates directed the path, allowing the warship to advance steadily toward the spore nebula's core, where energy reactions churned most fiercely and turbulently.

Time blurred into uncertainty until abruptly, a muted bellow—a savage energy surge that could shred typical souls—rippled through the spore haze.

Right on its heels, a colossal silhouette barreled in from the forefront.

This creature defied description. Faint traces hinted at some Starry Sky Behemoth's form, yet its frame had been wholly overtaken and twisted by dark green viral spores, enveloped in dense, rapidly spreading spore layers that sprouted grotesque, tumorous and blistering growths.

Sections that once served as tentacles or appendages now twisted into lash-like appendages, crafted from hardened spore particles and raw energy, writhing in erratic patterns.

Chaotic and savage mythical energy pulses radiated from it everywhere, but its existence had become utterly estranged, clinging solely to base urges of consumption and annihilation.

—A mythical-grade colossal creature, profoundly corrupted and grotesquely altered by the spore virus.

The altered colossal beast instantly regarded the intruding mirror image warship as its prime foe and tastiest quarry, striking out without a second's pause.

Its enormous form churned the spore mist ocean, as a "limb" packed with dense viral spores and ruinous energy hammered downward with fury.

Boom!

The mirror image warship's energy barrier shuddered intensely. It held firm, yet flickered noticeably fainter for an instant, while the vessel's inner warning lights blinked quietly.

"Tenth Rank Junior level of energy, but with traits of extreme life erosion and energy pollution in the attack..."

Via the soul connection, Song Chi gauged the threat at once, remaining largely unperturbed. Even against standard mythical might at Tenth Rank Early Stage in this hostile setting, he trusted the mirror image warship to prevail.

The warship countered swiftly, its secondary cannon batteries igniting as amplified energy rays zeroed in on the proliferating "tumor" clusters across the mutated colossal beast's hide. At the same time, employing maximum agility, the warship executed breathtaking dodges through the virus-infested void, evading the mythical altered beast's wild charges and the spore barbs sprouting from its form.

The clash raged with ferocity, the mutated colossal beast stripped of all rationality, numb to agony, charging with brutal directness. It even siphoned from the surrounding boundless spore mist to restore its losses and mend injuries.

The mirror image warship's strikes frequently gouged deep gashes into its bulk, yet swarms of spores rushed in to seal them, enabling recovery at an eye-searing pace.

Observing this, Song Chi, who had meant only to probe briefly, chose to disengage rather than prolong the fight, maneuvering the mirror image warship clear of the fray.

Though the Tenth Rank mythical virus-altered colossal beast ranked merely average in the mythical class, fully eliminating it here demanded too much time. The priority was securing that mythical artifact; delaying further proved foolish.

Actually, Song Chi's original strategy shifted after engaging the duplicated "Time Chess Board" from the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess." Anticipated to dominate even Eleventh Rank mythical entities, it surprisingly underperformed against the mythical mutated colossal beast.

The influence existed but merely thinned the outer mutated viral spore coating on the beast. Before the mirror image warship could exploit an opening, fresh viral spores from the thick fog rushed forth, restoring most of the depleted layer.

Thus, with the duplicated "Time Chess Board" failing to unleash its complete potential, Song Chi promptly ordered the mirror image warship to pull back from the conflict.

Following a clever dodge, the mirror image warship engaged its duplicated "Void Cloud Boat Model" feature, triggering a space distortion that erased it from the site, leaping several light-years distant to circumvent the blocking colossal beast.

Yet, just as Song Chi began to ease, the duplicated "Eye of Truth" blared another urgent warning—directly ahead, two figures of varying forms but identical mythical mutated essence materialized.
