Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1879: 912: Starry Sea Upheaval (Part 2)

Furthermore, over a dozen Tenth Rank Mythical Powers (such as Song Chi, Ji Heng, and various Mythical Enslaved Creatures) offer support from the edges, rendering the Human Emperor City's defenses utterly unbreakable.

That is, as long as no Transcenders intervene personally.

And that's precisely what happened.

During the following hundred years, the mythical clashes beyond the city grew fiercer and extended further. From time to time, battle aftershocks or savage Mythical Creatures neared the Human Emperor City, but once they detected the array of mythical presences radiating from inside—particularly the fierce peril posed by the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon—the majority opted to withdraw.

Those few that ignored the signs and pushed forward were either driven back or slain right there, overwhelmed by combined assaults from five Mythical Immortal Ships and hordes of Mythical Enslaved Creatures.

In the midst of this turbulent Star Realm, the Human Emperor City stood as an exceptional sanctuary of calm.

A hundred years might pass like a fleeting moment for mythical beings, yet it allows for vast shifts in a sprawling conflict involving innumerable superpowers.

The leaders of the Torch Civilization had assumed that a mythical war of such magnitude enduring a century marked the peak, expecting all sides to eventually fear the mounting casualties, for Tenth Rank Mythical Powers are no trivial assets; each represents a vital pillar of their race's legacy. In that span, multiple such powers had perished.

They anticipated the ferocity would wane, perhaps halting altogether for negotiations amid the heavy toll.

But they misjudged.

Terribly so!

After that century, the savage carnage near the former Heaven-Fighting Ruins (now a perilously unstable Chaotic Turbulence Zone) showed no hint of easing; rather, it escalated into even greater savagery and fury.

Fallen Mythical Creatures multiplied rapidly, with Tenth Rank Mythical falls echoing through mournful wails and tremors in the rules layer.

Even more astonishing to observers of this warzone was the event, one century on, when a grief from the rules—vastly deeper and more sorrowful than any Tenth Rank Myth's demise—swept across half the Heavenly Ape Star Realm!

An Eleventh Rank Myth… had perished!

It was an ancient Demon God of the Abyss, its death unleashing a rules breakdown like a permanent gash in the chaos, lingering unhealed for ages.

The demise of this Eleventh Rank Myth served as a trigger, setting ablaze an even vaster theater of conflict.

This staggering hybrid war, ignited by the Sea of High Dimensions, refused to end; instead, it spread like an unstoppable contagion, ballooning wildly outside the Heavenly Ape Star Realm at a speed never seen before.

Across the Chaos Divine Land, mighty races and timeless entities from other Star Realms were pulled in or joined willingly; the vortex of warfare swelled in scope and reach.

Within the Human Emperor City, Song Chi, Jiang Yuan, and their companions perched atop the city walls, staring into the distant chaotic void—now wilder and more horrifying than a hundred years prior—sensing the ongoing echoes from the Eleventh Rank Myth's collapse, their faces etched with profound gravity.

“This tempest… appears far more daunting than we ever thought.”

Emperor Jiang Yuan uttered the words deliberately, his tone laced with a subtle yet evident weight.

Song Chi gave a quiet nod, his senses drawn naturally to the Sea of High Dimensions resting silently in his Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

This Chaos Wonder, the root of all turmoil, weighed upon him like an oppressive load.

He realized that while the Torch Civilization enjoyed a brief respite, the whole Chaos Divine Land was being sucked into an era of chaos unlike any before, and this rampaging super mythical hybrid war across the chaotic Star Realms was merely the opening act.

…

Shattered Starry Sea, Shi Clan’s Brahma Spirit Mountain River System Cluster.

In the bleak and shadowy Star Domain, as turmoil reached new heights, while all major forces fixated on the Chaos Divine Land's nexus, the hegemonic Shi Clan Civilization pursued the reverse path; from the Dark Star Sea, waves of Buddha Soldiers deployed from Shi Clan’s River System Communities, advancing on the domains of nearby high-level and top high-level civilizations.

Yuefeng River System Cluster, formerly a vibrant hub of a top high-level civilization.

Today, it lay in ruins like hell itself.

The golden Buddha Light brought no serenity or redemption, only icy killing and devastation.

Myriad Buddha Soldiers in gleaming golden armor, their expressions ranging from merciful to savage, surged across the starry expanse like a gilded flood; wherever they advanced, Floating Lands crumbled, civilizations suffered rivers of blood, dark energy space stations and Yuefeng warships alike disintegrated into stellar debris under the relentless barrages of Buddhist Sect divine techniques.

“Our civilization surrenders! We pledge loyalty to the Shi Clan as our highest overlords and vow annual tributes!” Desperation filled the voice of the Yuefeng Civilization's leader, hoping submission might buy a thread of survival.

Yet they faced only heightened onslaughts, joined by the impersonal, chilling grand Brahma chant reverberating on the spiritual plane:

“The sea of bitterness knows no end, bound by karma's chains, step into my Brahma Heaven Pure Land, wash away your stains, and forge your authentic self!”

This offered no mercy, but total annihilation and forced “rebirth.”

All who opposed, together with every mark of their civilization, were erased bodily; solely the immense hauls of rare resources and goods were shipped steadily back to Shi Clan Civilization lands.

Not even the elite advanced civilizations could withstand the Shi Clan forces, much less the myriad mid- and low-tier ones?

Beneath the Shi Clan’s abrupt and thunderous assault, these societies failed to mount any real defense and vanished utterly, like mist under the sun.

Clever advanced civilizations and top advanced ones swiftly forsook their peripheral holdings at the disaster's dawn, pulling back vital troops to final strongholds and striving to band together for mutual safeguard.

At the same time, dispatches brimming with anguish and supplications traversed vast light-years, aimed at the realm of the Shattered Starry Sea's other overlord—the Emperor Barbarian Civilization.

“We implore the Emperor Barbarian Clan for aid to stand united against the Shi Clan’s outrages!”

“When lips part, teeth grow cold; we urge His Majesty the Barbarian God to uphold the Starry Sea's balance!”

But greater hopelessness met their calls.

The Emperor Barbarian Civilization stood as another victim of the Shi Clan’s ruthless conquest.

Nearly at the same instant the appeals arrived, the expansive borders of the Emperor Barbarian Star Domain blazed with warfare fiercer than that ravaging advanced civilization zones.

Shi Clan’s core Buddha Soldiers and immortal-aura Guardian Gods slammed into the Emperor Barbarian’s enormous Barbarian Beast Legions, Totem Warriors, and Barbarian God priests with unyielding force.

The deep-seated grudges and history between these two Star Sea hegemons detonated savagely in that instant.

Right from the start, the war's ferocity exceeded all expectations; stars winked out like bursting fireworks, and entire star system clusters became lifeless voids amid Overlord Level power collisions. Emperor Barbarian fighters charged with fearless valor, drawing on robust physiques and savage Totem Power to briefly stall the Shi Clan Buddha Soldiers’ push.

The whole Shattered Starry Sea watched, anticipating a prolonged clash between titans.

Yet the war's path veered into shocking reversal.

In a pivotal clash over a crucial Star Domain, as the Emperor Barbarian Clan’s concealed second Barbarian God loomed in secret with commanding presence—

A sudden twist struck!

From the Emperor Barbarian ranks, more than three mighty Ninth Rank Emperor Barbarian Dominators, plus their elite legions, betrayed without warning.

Blinding Buddha Light burst forth from their midst, their fierce barbarian blood now streaked with eerie gold, eyes glazing into fanatic piety, as they turned blades and deadliest maledictions on their startled comrades.

“Brahma Sound Conversion! The Shi Clan has long wormed into our midst!”

Chaos engulfed the Emperor Barbarian side instantly, their careful war arrays ripped apart internally, laying bare fatal gaps to the Shi Clan’s vanguard.

“Roar!! You vile bald-headed scum!”

A bellow brimming with infinite fury and wrath cracked the void, as the Emperor Barbarian’s ultimate secret weapon—a Barbarian God radiating primeval, wrathful mythical essence—emerged from the void's abyss, seeking to turn the tide of defeat.

Its presence dominated utterly, barbaric energy scouring the Star Domain, a lone strike pulverizing a traitorous Ninth Rank Emperor Barbarian Dominator and the nearby Star Domain to nothingness.

But as this Tenth Rank Barbarian God prepared to unleash its supreme dominance and steady the field—

“Amitabha!”

A calm Buddhist incantation rang out; from the Shi Clan’s lines, the Dharma Aspect of the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King appeared, its Thousand-leaf Treasure Lotus unfurling infinite radiance below, the spinning wheel engaging to summon karma and fate's bindings, instantly ensnaring the Mythical Barbarian God.

A clash at the mythical tier exploded with raw intensity.
