Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1905 - 923: War Puppet Mother Tree Tier 11 (Part 2)

Despite the passage of time, the seasoned patrons of the Ruins Market were still engrossed in lively discussions, clearly showing immense interest. Nevertheless, as the moments ticked by, no one stepped forward to initiate a trade.

Song Chi remained unperturbed by this lack of immediate action. Having posted his trade information, he patiently awaited a suitable offer.

He was confident that eventually, someone within the vast expanse of the All Heavens Star Sea would desperately require his pill and, in turn, possess precisely what he needed.

The Transcendent Essence Blood was the linchpin for elevating the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to the Eleventh Rank. Concurrently, the Twelfth Rank Starry Sky Plant Heart represented a critical component to aid the [War Puppet Mother Tree] in its ascent to the Eleventh Rank. He was determined to spare no effort in securing these items.

With the centennial period drawing near and the climactic battle at the Abyss Core looming, Song Chi felt a sense of urgency.

He aimed to bolster both his personal foundation and that of the market by another level before plunging into the decisive conflict that would shape the fate of the Starry Sea. This trade represented a vital step in that plan.

...

A hundred years elapsed in what felt like the blink of an eye.

As the designated time arrived, the Torch Expedition Fleet, having been fully rested and even bolstered by continuous reinforcement from their homeland throughout the preceding century, embarked once more. Leading the charge were the avatars of the five Human Emperor’s Throne Ships belonging to Jiang Yuan, Ying Yi, Ji Heng, Ferdinand, and Song Chi. They ventured forth from the safety of their recuperation zone, returning to the brutal front lines of the abyss battlefield, a realm saturated with artillery fire and demonic qi.

In contrast to a century prior, when the remaining forces were battered and left with dwindling hope, the Torch Fleet now presented a vastly different picture. Though its numbers had not returned to their original strength, the fleet was impeccably organized and radiated high morale.

Following a hundred years dedicated to healing their wounds and undergoing rigorous integration training, the surviving captains had finally emerged from the psychological trauma of their devastating defeat. Their eyes now burned with an unyielding determination, fueled by a desire for vengeance for their fallen comrades and a fierce commitment to safeguarding their civilization's future.

The five Mythical Immortal Ship avatars reunited, positioning themselves at the vanguard of the fleet.

Having benefited from a century-long interval, these five formidable warships had returned to their zenith. The oppressive aura emanating from their hulls was now even more potent than it had been a hundred years earlier.

However, the most captivating spectacle was not these five Human Emperor’s Throne Ship avatars, but a colossal entity that silently accompanied the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] avatar, positioned to its side and rear.

This colossal figure, entirely constructed from innumerable pale bones that emitted a faint, forest-white luminescence, towered surpasses anything imaginable, dwarfing even the mighty Titan Giant’s War Fortress. Its immense scale was almost inconceivable.

Within its hollow eye sockets, two spectral blue Soul Fires flickered, completely devoid of any discernible emotion. They emanated an aura of pure, soul-chilling silence and imposing majesty. Furthermore, a seemingly intangible yet undeniably real, Twelfth Rank Transcendent pressure radiated outwards, distorting and solidifying the very fabric of the surrounding void.

A Twelfth Rank·Bone Giant!

This Transcendent-level Bone Giant puppet, a creation first publicly unveiled to the entire Alliance Army of the All Heavens Star Sea, was ingeniously replicated from the [Skeleton Tomb] component of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s primary structure. Its rank had been forcibly elevated through the application of the [Limit-breaking Seal], enabling its formidable summoning.

Its sudden manifestation instantly seized the attention of countless observers on the battlefield. Whether it was the Alliance warriors locked in fierce combat with the demons, the leaders of various factions intently observing the evolving dynamics of the front lines from the rear echelons, or indeed the opposing Abyss Demon Army itself, all were struck with profound astonishment.

“Is that… the aura of a Transcendent level?”

“A skeletal puppet? Since when did the Torch Civilization possess such devastating war machinery?”

“Could this be the work of that Ruins Market Lord? To actually forge a Transcendent-level puppet!”

Waves of surprise, shock, and outright disbelief rippled through the ranks of both military forces. The controlled deployment of Transcendent-level battle power held immeasurable significance and possessed the potential to instantly reshape the power balance within any given local battlefield.

Deep within the Alliance’s central command base, the transcendent wills of the Sky-splitting God King, Eternal Ancestor, Source Star God Master, and the Mother of Ten Thousand Machines simultaneously focused their attention on the Bone Giant.

They could unmistakably sense that this Bone Giant indeed radiated a stable and pure Twelfth Rank pressure. While it lacked the intrinsic vitality and Daoist essence typically associated with living Transcendents, appearing more akin to a pure engine of destruction, there was no mistaking its formidable power level.

The unified wills of the four Transcendent beings engaged in a silent, rapid exchange of thoughts.

Finally, the commanding voice of the Sky-splitting God King resonated within the minds of the Torch Fleet’s high-ranking officers: “Welcome back to the frontline. In this impending battle, we shall rely on His Excellency Emperor Song… for considerable assistance.” The voice, though delivered with remarkable calmness and minimal inflection, implicitly acknowledged the Bone Giant as a formidable new Transcendent-class force for the Alliance.

The remaining three Transcendent powerhouses, including the Eternal Ancestor, offered no dissent. Faced with the ultimate confrontation looming at the Abyss Core, any Transcendent-level might was deemed invaluable.

Whether this formidable power stemmed directly from Song Chi or from a construct under his command was of little consequence to them; its utility for the Alliance was the sole concern.

With the implicit consent from the highest echelons of the Alliance, the Torch Fleet encountered no further impediments, smoothly securing a vital defensive sector on the frontline.

The quiescent Bone Giant assumed its position like a steadfast sentinel at the forefront of the defense.

Its vacant eyes surveyed the approaching torrent of the demon tide, the spectral azure Soul Fire flickering with subtle intensity, seemingly poised for the order to annihilate the foe.

The Transcendent aura it exuded, akin to an intangible bulwark, compelled the Abyss Demon Army, which had been poised for aggression, to pause, hesitant to advance recklessly.

While Song Chi's actual person remained at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, his personal presence absent, the emergence of this Bone Giant served as an unequivocal declaration of his stance and influence to the entirety of the Alliance and even the Abyss Demon Race.

After a century of slumber, the Torch has arrived once more.

Fueled by the fires of vengeance and wielding blades of renewal, this civilization's expeditionary forces are poised to etch their saga onto the grand arena of this final conflict.
