Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1686 - 825: [Battle of Myths] and [Departure]_2

A shiver passed through Jiang Yuan's heart as he listened from Human Emperor City, yet a glimmer of curiosity quickly replaced the chill in his eyes.

Beyond the two Mythical Souls the Beidou Star Lord had described, the Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beast was a treasure in its own right.

If the creature were successfully hunted, its corpse could yield a significant bounty of Mythical Souls.

Typically found lurking in the deepest reaches of the [Fallen God Sea], these Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beasts have spent eons consuming vast amounts of Super Brain Energies and Mythical Souls. Slaying just one could result in a harvest of twenty or more Mythical Souls.

Furthermore, these beasts possess a rare form of Soul production; Tenth-level specimens house Rule Soul Spirits. This grade of Soul Spirit is a massive temptation for any Mythical being, as it greatly accelerates a Mythical Lifeform’s comprehension of specific Dao Rules.

Ultimately, the strength of any Mythical Lifeform is dictated by their mastery over Dao Rules.

Discarding any hesitation, the Warship Avatar of the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship] accelerated toward the coordinates provided by the Beidou Star Lord.

The [Shenxia Jiuli Ship]’s Warship Avatar became a dazzling streak of radiance, carving an elegant path through the void as it raced toward the heart of the Seventh Arm Region.

A heavy silence hung over the dozen figures inside the warship’s cabin. With time running out, there was no opportunity to evacuate the crew from the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

In truth, Jiang Yuan would have forbidden it even if they had the luxury of time.

Given the chaos erupting in the Seventh Arm Region, remaining within the Shenxia Jiuli Ship was the safest option, even with a Mythical War looming on the horizon.

Elsewhere, at the location of the [Shaking Light Sky Star]’s Warship Avatar, the phantom of the Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beast had fully manifested.

It took the form of a colossal Starry Sea Wolf, its four hooves treading upon the vacuum, wreathed in a grey soul mist. Its dark eyes burned with insatiable avarice.

After sniffing the two Mythical Souls held fast by the Traction Beam, it unhinged its massive jaws and gulped them down whole.

“Roar—!”

The Soul-devouring Beast let out a roar of triumph. The surrounding soul mist surged outward as its aura intensified significantly.

Watching from the rapidly approaching Shenxia Jiuli Ship, the Beidou Star Lord ground his teeth and cursed:

“Damn, it actually ate the Mythical Souls!”

Jiang Yuan, however, remained composed.

“Don't worry, it won't get away. Intelligent Brain, prepare to deploy the replica of the [Human Emperor Shocking Book]!”

Following his command, the weapon arrays of every vessel were primed. Seven-colored light spilled from the warship’s hull, rapidly manifesting a Martial Arts Dynasty Realm above the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

Beams of energy wove together in the void, creating a massive energy web that trapped the Soul-devouring Beast.

These were no ordinary projectiles; they were "Soul-Extinguishing Rays" specifically designed for the Shenxia Jiuli Ship to combat Soul-like entities, placing the Soul-devouring Beast at a severe disadvantage.

Detecting the imminent threat, the Soul-devouring Beast looked up, a murderous glint flashing in its dark eyes.

It howled at the stars, and the soul mist surrounding it condensed into countless jagged tendrils that lashed out at the energy web.

“Boom—!”

The impact between the energy net and the soul tendrils ignited a blinding explosion, fracturing the starry sky and sending waves of violent energy turbulence in every direction.

Seeing the interlocking net of Soul-Extinguishing Rays beginning to buckle, Jiang Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly:

“Boost the fire output of the [Soul Annihilation Aurora] Secondary Cannon. We cannot allow it to escape the perimeter!”

As the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s firepower amplification modules engaged, the durability of the Soul-Extinguishing Ray net surged once more.

Though its misty tendrils were being forced back, the Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beast did not retreat; instead, its ferocity only grew.

With a sudden bound, it lunged toward the nearby wreckage of the [Shaking Light Sky Star].

“It’s trying to consume the residual energy inside the warship avatar’s remains!” the Beidou Star Lord shouted in warning.

Jiang Yuan let out a cold snort:

“In its dreams!”

The Dynasty Realm hovering over the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship] suddenly descended, shifting into a Dao Rule Realm that slammed down onto the Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beast.

“[Human Emperor Shocking Book]·Martial Arts Dynasty World!”

A sage-like silhouette towered over the cosmos while thousands of martial artists struck at the heavens; the energy concentrated within this Martial Arts Dynasty Realm was unimaginably potent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The very fabric of the starry sky seemed to groan under the pressure as the Martial Arts Dynasty Realm fell.

The Soul-devouring Beast emitted a pained shriek, its hooves flailing desperately, but it remained pinned firmly beneath the weight of the Dynasty Realm.

“Now!” Jiang Yuan’s eyes shone with sharp intensity. “[Heavenly Annihilation Godslaying Cannon]·Heavenly Strike!”

A searing pillar of light erupted from the prow of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship, striking the Tenth-level Soul-devouring Beast while it was still incapacitated by the Dynasty Realm.

“Boom—!”

A massive shockwave of energy rippled outward. The beast's head vanished in the explosion, dissolving into a cloud of gray mist.

However, the mist soon began to pull itself back together.

“As I thought, it won't be killed that easily.”

Jiang Yuan was not caught off guard.

“Keep up the pressure, don't let it recover!”

The various Soul Thought Weapons equipped on the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship] fired in unison. Countless Soul-Extinguishing Beams formed a dense web, surrounding the regenerating beast.

At that moment, the ship’s Mythical-level Intelligent Brain blared a high-priority alert.

[Warning: A large number of high-rank Soul-devouring Beasts are closing in rapidly from the three o’clock position!]

Jiang Yuan’s eyes narrowed. In the distance, several dozen gray phantoms were appearing against the backdrop of the stars, the weakest among them already at the Eighth Rank.
