Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1886 - 915: Despairing Truth_3
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
This apparent drawn-out clash of minds and feelings had, in reality, unfolded in a mere split second.
Right then, the abrupt wounding of the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King and the swift flicker of the gray mist shadow caused the Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha to pause for a moment. Its solemn expression twisted into an unheard-of shock, locking eyes sharply on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Next, it shifted its gaze to the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King, whose golden form lay in ruins, its power plunged to the Tenth Rank, with fissures even marring the lotus platform. A profound glint of terror sparked deep in its stare.
"Om Mani Padme Hum!"
The mighty Six-character Mantra boomed across the starry expanse once more, stripped of its pure and ethereal Brahma tone, now twisted with a frenzied, deranged edge.
Buddha Light flared wildly around the Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha, yet lurking beneath that glow, a subtle thread of sinister shadow began to seep through.
Brushing aside its gravely hurt ally, it ignited the Great Sun Lotus Platform underfoot, engulfed in searing Buddha Fire hot enough to burn away stars and cosmos alike. The platform morphed into a fiery comet streaking through the Starry Sea, barreling headlong toward the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Its drive burned fiercer than ever, laced with a wild, almost suicidal rage.
It was plain to see: this marked the final desperate outburst from the Heart Stealing Demons, who gripped the battlefield and now realized their cover was blown.
Witnessing the assault, Song Chi's gaze hardened with resolve, pushing down the ache in his Divine Soul. Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's cabin, a vortex of seven-hued splendor began to whirl.
[Time Chess Board] · "Time · Chess Game"!
In a flash, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha both got yanked into a sealed, higher-dimensional realm.
Swoosh—
The hatch slid open, unleashing the Eleventh Rank White Bone Giant that had waited patiently within the warship. Flames of Soul Fire blazed in its eye sockets as it hoisted the massive sword forged from endless bones. Threads of the Death Rule coiled along the blade, and with a mighty cleave, a vast gray Death Sword Gang ripped through the void. It severed the Buddha Fire and aimed straight for the golden head of the Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha.
Song Chi piloted the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong personally, unleashing a barrage from every cannon in a furious storm, pummeling the Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha, whose strength had already crumbled to the half-step Eleventh Rank.
On top of that, he directed the outer Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale to slam into the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King, whose presence was fading fast amid efforts to reform its golden form.
With the Heart Stealing Demon's scheme laid bare, the clash between the two forces was bound to end in total annihilation for one side. Why hold back and let the foe strike first later, when they could just excise the Shi Clan's hidden threat right now?
Boom!
The Mythical Dragon Spine Dominator Whale smashed brutally into the Thousand-leaf Treasure Lotus Platform, unleashing a torrent of raw power that wrecked huge swaths of the nearby starry void. The Dragon Spine Dominator Whale bellowed in agony, its scales splintered and blood gushing freely, yet the facing Thousand-leaf Treasure Lotus fared far worse.
Already fractured beyond repair, the Treasure Lotus let out piercing shrieks as its petals crumbled piece by piece, the Buddha Light fading swiftly to nothing.
Beneath it all, the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King's fragile, half-formed golden shadow quaked once again, its energy growing ever weaker.
"Roar!"
Seizing the upper hand, the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale whipped its enormous tail to shred space itself, then gaped its enormous jaws—wide enough to swallow a Floating Land—radiating a savage hunger, and pounced on the fractured golden glow.
The Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King tried to dodge, but its movements dragged from the dire wounds, leaving it fully ripped apart by the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale's crimson teeth.
The Eleventh Rank Shi Clan Ancestor Buddha had met its end.
As the outer fight raged to such a decisive victory, things unfolded just as fiercely in the Time Chessboard Space. The Spirit Mountain Tathagata Great Sun Victory Buddha, reduced to half-step Eleventh Rank, stood no chance against the White Bone Giant and the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong combined.
That said, Song Chi wasn't stationed in the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's Main Control Room at that instant; he had slipped into the Zhu Tian Ruins Market well beforehand,
...
Shattered Starry Sea, Titan Giant Ancestral Domain.
Within the dwelling of a Ninth Rank Titan Giant, Tai Long from the Overlord Tribe, a look of astonishment crossed his face as he watched the Ruins Market Token in his grasp pulse with eerie Ghost Light. Moments later, a startling voice rang out in the recesses of his thoughts.
[Young one, the Torch Civilization Mythical Ship Captain Song Chi entrusted me with a message: the chaos source in All Heavens Star Sea is the Heart Stealing Demon from the Bottomless Abyss’s deepest layer. The Heaven-Fighting Clan, Immortal Realm Civilization, Shi Clan Civilization, and Abyssal Devil Civilization have all been eradicated and controlled by it, aiming to promote the dimension upgrade of the Bottomless Abyss. Report this matter immediately.]
Hearing this bombshell revelation, Tai Long jolted in shock but soon steadied his nerves.
"Thank you, Lord Ruins Market Lord. I will report this to our clan’s Divine King immediately!"
Song Chi wasted no time, leveraging the Ruins Market Lord's role to relay the warning straight to the Titan Giant Clan. With the Titan Giant Clan and the Eternal Clan both fixated on the Chaos Divine Land, the moment the Sky-splitting God King got wind of it, the Eternal Clan would surely catch on too.
As one of the two supreme entities in the Shattered Starry Sea, the return of the Sky-splitting God King and Eternal Ancestor to guard the Starry Sea could deliver a powerful check on the Bottomless Abyss—the sole lifeline now for the Torch Civilization's endurance.
Still, Song Chi's mind weighed heavier than ever, far from any ease.
What exactly was the Bottomless Abyss?
It stood as a supreme power, cut off from the Shattered Starry Sea, laboring through endless epochs just for this grand dimensional ascent—could a simple meddling from our side really derail it?
