Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1862 - 904: Seven-Colored [Blessing of the Time God King] (2)

Thus, this Void Demon transformed into the "Sentinel" positioned in this location. Should any unusual disturbances occur in the Southern Extreme Domain moving forward, be they from natural shifts or outside influences, Song Chi would detect them right away.

Once all tasks were finished, the Mirror Image Warship quietly departed from this Extreme Domain Space, carefully following its prior route on the return journey.

As the warship at last broke free from the reach of the Time Divine Hall ruins and reentered the somewhat "normal" Broken Star Sea Void, Song Chi managed to ease up just a bit.

With a shift in his mind, he summoned the Mirror Image Warship from afar using the [Divine Thought Chapter].

This trip to the Southern Extreme Domain brought back rewards beyond what he anticipated. Beyond securing the formidable Divine Artifact [Time Spirit Divine Spear] and the elite component [Blessing of the Time God King], the true value lay in uncovering the astonishing truths regarding the Four Dimensional Extremes and the Ascension Path. Yet, this knowledge also brought a burden weighing like a mountain.

"Strength... I require even greater strength!"

Song Chi's gaze remained firm, pushing aside distracting notions.

Following that, his primary form headed back to the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, processing the bits of data swirling in his thoughts, while leveraging the cultivation space to boost his Spectral Energy training. By incorporating the [Time Chess Board] along with the fresh [Blessing of the Time God King] and additional components, he hastened his Guidance Technique progress, deepened his grasp of Rules, and methodically advanced his Mythical Rank cultivation, silently preparing for the fated moment when the Heaven-Fighting Ruins' downfall would shake the heavens and chaos divine land plus all heavens and myriads of worlds.

Yet, the wish for peace encounters unyielding storms.

About three hundred years into his seclusion, an abrupt urgent signal pierced through the Soul Link—from a Mirror Image Warship he had repositioned and concealed long ago amid the ruins of the Immortal Realm Continent on the Void Sea Dark Side.

Song Chi's eyes snapped open, his awareness projecting without delay.

Through the Mirror Image Warship's viewing feed, that Immortal Realm Continent, which had drifted silently in the Void Sea Dark Side's depths, now found itself enveloped by an ineffable overwhelming force.

Over the continent loomed a colossal, beyond-imagination black spatial whirlpool forming gradually, its size even dwarfing the continent. From the whirlpool's core surged a horrifying Attracting Power, akin to innumerable unseen colossal grips, tightly clutching every part of the Immortal Realm Continent, compelling it from the hidden depths of the Void Sea Dark Side's veil, hauling it toward the standard star sea realm.

The sheer magnitude and command of this force surpassed Song Chi's current understanding. Despite having ascended to the Mythical Rank long ago, nearly at the summit of the all heavens star sea, it still ignited massive ripples in his core.

He observed the chaotic spatial formations encircling the Immortal Realm Continent's dark side, encompassing the infinite space storm zones, all crumbling like brittle panes under this black whirlpool passage that appeared linked to some inescapable terminus.

"This technique... it has to come from a Transcender, or perhaps an elite among Transcenders taking action!"

Terror gripped Song Chi's heart.

The secretive force responsible for the Immortal Realm Civilization's fall now turned its attention back to this civilization's remnants after over five hundred thousand years?

Was it aiming to wipe out all remnants entirely, or... had it uncovered something new?

An intense crisis instinct nearly drove him to pull back the Mirror Image Warship at once, steering clear of that mysterious entity tracing back to him and plunging him into peril.

But right as his will started to stir, prior to execution—

Bzzz!

Inside the Mirror Image Warship, the duplicated [Heavenly Destiny Compass], perpetually engaged in scanning for the locations of the other three Immortal Slaying Swords, abruptly unleashed exceptionally fierce fluctuations across its domain.

The compass pointer quivered intensely, directing toward those ten-plus gray mist energy forms of Mythical Rank charging skyward with fury, plunging into the black whirlpool passage's depths.

In that instant, Song Chi grasped the truth deep within, realizing the three Immortal Swords he had pursued for so long were surely hidden among those ten-odd Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms.

Earlier, they had probably employed certain unique tactics to conceal the three Immortal Swords thoroughly, rendering repeated uses of the [Heavenly Destiny Compass] fruitless. However, with the turmoil erupting at the Immortal Realm Continent ruins, they emerged from hiding, desperate to flee the Immortal Realm Continent ruins that had confined them for more than five hundred thousand years, unwittingly exposing the three Immortal Swords.

Via the "Chasing Origin" function of the duplicated [Heavenly Destiny Compass], three clear Sword Intent origin coordinates, similar to the [Infinite Immortal Trapping Quantum Star Annihilation Cannon], displayed vividly on the Territory Star Map, shining like three vivid flares in the pitch-black night.

[Slaying Immortal]! [Immortal Extinction]! [Exterminating Immortal]!

The remaining three origin Immortal swords, potentially joined by the fourth glow possibly denoting the [Immortal Slaying Array Map], presented themselves openly, but as the black whirlpool reached full formation, the concealed powers tied to the Immortal Realm Civilization's destruction appeared to act, forcing a choice: forgo assembling the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, or hazard everything to grasp the chance?

In that split second, Song Chi faced a tough bind.

His pupils narrowed sharply, his heart racing wildly, his thoughts refusing to settle.

Yet shortly after, positive intelligence arrived just in time.

Those ten or so Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms, upon ascending to the Immortal Realm Continent's skies, failed to charge straight into the massive spatial whirlpool overhead like he had pictured. Rather, after soaring upward, they scattered on their own. At last, these ten-plus Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms positioned themselves evenly across the Immortal Realm Continent's various sectors, unleashing majestic Mythical gray mist energies that persistently influenced the Immortal Realm Continent beneath.

Thanks to the meddling of these ten-odd Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms, Song Chi soon spotted an oddity; their efforts clearly sped up the Immortal Realm Continent's relocation pace. They were truly aiding the overhead spatial whirlpool, boosting the pull on the Immortal Realm Continent ruins.

This revelation proved a clear boon for Song Chi. After all, the Immortal Realm Continent was a full Star Continent. Though badly shattered, its mass endured.

Therefore, despite the backing from these ten-plus Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms, the whole extraction procedure couldn't wrap up in mere ten days or half a month. Drawing from Song Chi's assessment of the ongoing pull velocity and separation, the duration would stretch to at least beyond half a year, which without doubt granted him precious Buffer Time.

No matter if he chooses to intervene or withdraw in the unfolding events, he now possessed months to deliberate or strategize.

With this in mind, Song Chi's mind steadied swiftly. He severed his mental tie to the Mirror Image Warship, starting to deliberate thoroughly.

His mind raced, promptly balancing the pros and cons. After roughly a few hours, a resolute spark ignited in Song Chi's eyes.

"Fortune hides in danger; the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation stands as the ultimate offensive treasure from the Immortal Realm Civilization. Securing it would elevate the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's battle prowess to a new level, possibly forging the strongest shield for impending massive crises. Right now, the secret forces surely prioritize hauling the continent: this marks the ideal instant to snatch from the jaws of the tiger!"

Decision set, Song Chi wasted no time.

Yet he understood perfectly that this venture equated to fishing chestnuts from flames, operating right under a probable Transcender's watch, where any minor error might spell endless catastrophe. Full-scale readiness was essential to slash dangers to the barest.

"First off, never send the genuine Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, and avoid using the often-deployed Mirror Image Warship that's traceable; instead, opt for a totally 'unmarked' and robust enough 'Enslaved Species'."

"Second, and crucially, ready countermeasures to counter any interference from the Transcender lurking there."

In the end, the foe was probably a pinnacle Transcender. Without sufficient prior safeguards, even succeeding in claiming the four Immortal Slaying Swords and Array Map from the Mythical Rank gray mist energy forms might prevent delivering them to the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens. Though equipped with a bridging Divine Artifact such as the Projection from the Markets of the Heavens, escape couldn't be assured.

This second aspect posed the greatest hurdle.

As for deploying the Projection from the Markets of the Heavens?

Song Chi promptly rejected the idea.

Now enhanced to Eleventh Rank Peak’s Mythical Status with the [Dao Origin Totem Pole], the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens could temporarily bestow half-step transcendence fighting ability on the Ruins Market Projection. Still, the Projection from the Markets of the Heavens was no longer covert, and the Ruins Market Purple Mist Projection was easily identifiable. Moreover, the extended talks between Torch Civilization and the Projection from the Markets of the Heavens had circulated widely in the Broken Star Sea. Should the Projection from the Markets of the Heavens draw the hidden forces' ire, Torch Humanity Civilization would probably suffer too.

Though such a risk loomed, it tied to a whole civilization's fate. Song Chi refused to stake everything on this gamble.
