Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1909 - 925: The Second Transcendent Bone Giant

The battlefield within the Returning Ruins Abyss experienced a sharp decline as two newly revealed Transcendent Heart Stealers entered the fray. These two formidable Demon Gods had been in hiding, and instead of directly engaging the Alliance Army's Transcenders, they opted to sow further chaos within the already tumultuous Mythical Battlefield and target weakened Alliance Transcenders.

One of the Transcendent Heart Stealers unleashed its vast, amorphous Divine Soul Force, spreading like a contagion. It precisely enveloped those Mythical powerhouses from the Alliance who had survived prior betrayals, but whose spiritual fortitude had been compromised. These individuals, already reeling from the treachery of their comrades, found themselves nearly defenseless against the direct psychic assault. The flicker of resistance previously in their eyes was rapidly extinguished, replaced by frenzied madness. They began to attack indiscriminably, even resorting to self-detonation, which only accelerated the unraveling of the Mythical Battlefield.

The second Transcendent Heart Stealer turned its chilling attention to the Transcendent Battlefield. It did not engage directly but instead unleashed a relentless torrent of disorienting mental screams, aimed at disrupting the Eternal Ancestor and the Mother of Ten Thousand Machines. These soul-shattering cries agitated the River of Time flowing beneath the Eternal Ancestor, making control difficult. Similarly, the Mother of Ten Thousand Machines, whose mechanical cognition was extraordinarily precise, suffered significant disruption. Its computational efficiency plummeted, leading to a noticeable lag in the coordinated assault of the mechanical torrent.

Under the pressure of these assaults, the situation, which had shown signs of stabilization with the arrival of reinforcements from the Chaos Divine Land, rapidly devolved. The Sky-splitting God King roared in defiance, but the brilliant aura of the [Heaven-opening Axe] was diminished. Each clash with the [Dimension Anchor] sent tremors through its divine form, and minute, irreparable fractures began to mar the axe's blade. Engaged with both a Flame Demon and a member of the Devil Race, it could barely maintain its defenses, let alone mount a meaningful counterattack.

The Eternal Ancestor faced an even dire predicament. The manipulation of the Power of Time was inherently draining on the spirit, and the Heart Stealer's constant interference gnawed at its focus. Control over the [Eternal Divine Furnace] wavered, and the surrounding Eternal Divine Light flickered ominously, threatening to extinguish entirely. The entity from the City of Transcendence, seizing this vulnerability, launched a barrage of attacks. Its rule-infused strikes, imbued with the essence of ultimate destruction, landed repeatedly on the Eternal Ancestor's divine body, inflicting grievous, permanent spiritual wounds.

Across the sprawling mechanical collective embodied by the Mother of Ten Thousand Machines, components detonated and fell away under immense strain. The Heart Stealer's mental intrusion acted like a virulent agent within its core network, corrupting its commands and causing widespread errors within the Mechanical Legion. Minor system crashes became a recurring issue. The Transcendent Demon locked in combat with it cackled, exploiting every opening and unleashing magic infused with profound chaos and destruction, savagely rending its mechanical form.

Meanwhile, the Father of the Sand Sea, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor, and four other Transcenders from the Chaos Divine Land, despite their formidable power, were unable to maintain stable auras. Their initial suppression of their adversaries was undermined by constant fluctuations. The immense strain of forcibly breaching the Abyss Barrier to descend had taken its toll. Although the shattered [Frozen Heart] absorbed the brunt of the backlash, the inherent rules of the Returning Ruins Abyss relentlessly eroded their connections to the origin energies of the Chaos Divine Land. They were akin to uprooted plants, their strength ebbing with each exertion, incapable of prolonged engagements. Their once potent offensives gradually lost momentum, becoming hesitant and defensive.

The most critical setback, however, involved the Source Star God Master. Wounded by a demon spear crackling with the Flame of Annihilation, his Star Origin was critically damaged. At this point, he could scarcely defend himself, merely using his dwindling Star Power to exert a peripheral constraint, having largely lost the capacity for direct confrontation.

These compounding factors reduced the Alliance Army's peak combat strength to effectively that of seven Transcendent Battle Powers, a stark deficit. In contrast, the Abyss side, with nine Transcendent Demon Gods coordinating their efforts and four Chaos Wonders unleashing their full might, decisively dictated the tempo of the entire engagement.

Aware of the predicament faced by their reinforcements from the Chaos Divine Land, they strategically chose not to engage in a desperate, all-out assault. Instead, their tactics focused on attrition and entanglement, gradually eroding the strength and resolve of the Alliance Transcenders.

With each passing moment, the Transcenders from the All Heavens Star Sea could feel their powers diminishing and their injuries worsening. The blinding axe light of the Sky-splitting God King grew fainter, the divine form of the Eternal Ancestor became increasingly translucent, the scale of the mechanical phalanx commanded by the Mother of Ten Thousand Machines steadily contracted, and the formidable aura emanating from the four Transcenders of the Chaos Divine Land visibly declined.

A chilling sense of despair, akin to the bone-deep cold of the Returning Ruins Abyss, began to permeate the hearts of every powerful individual within the Alliance.

Song Chi, with mechanical precision, piloted the White Bone Giant, passively deflecting the frenzied onslaught of his adversary.

Although this Transcendent Puppet was devoid of emotion and fear, Song Chi's true self, through its senses, could clearly perceive the crumbling state of the entire battlefield.

"We can't hold on any longer..."

...

The Bottomless Abyss, the Returning Ruins Abyss, and the Resentful Soul Mountain Range.

Perched above the desolate mountain range, an eerie landscape formed from countless white bones, the colossal skeletal form of the White Bone Giant presented a striking visual contrast. Yet, at this critical juncture, the attention of all sentient beings was directed elsewhere.

Gripping the [Time Spirit Divine Spear] tightly, the White Bone Giant, which stood resolute in the void, suddenly unleashed a seven-colored radiance that warped the very fabric of time. In the ensuing moment, with a violent thrust of its immense skeletal arm, the temporal flow in the vicinity, influenced by the [Time Spirit Divine Spear], became unpredictably erratic, oscillating between extreme speed and slowness in an attempt to shatter the opponent's combat rhythm.

"Roar!"

The Transcendent Flame Demon, locked in combat with the White Bone Giant, let out a thunderous roar. Its body was enshrouded in the pure Flame of Annihilation, and the flowing lava patterns adorning its surface seemed to contain the essence of a burning star. Unflinching, it met the time-infused spear light projected by the White Bone Giant head-on, retaliating with a devastating strike from its colossal claw, engulfed in searing demonic flames.
