Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1687 - 825: [Mythic Battle] and [Departure]_3

A cold sneer played on Jiang Yuan’s lips as he dismissed the situation with indifference.

“Don't mind them. Our priority is to eliminate that Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beast!”

Orders were rapidly transmitted to the warship’s Intelligent Brain, prompting the reactivation of the "Human Emperor Shocking Book" component.

“Human Emperor Shocking Book · Emperor’s Dragon Qi!”

Within the Martial Arts Dynasty Realm, nine colossal golden dragons manifested with a thunderous roar, each one vibrating with the terrifying fluctuations of the Dao and its rules.

They spiraled through the void before pouncing on the Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beast, coiling around it to bind it securely.

Jiang Yuan had realized that even the "Heavenly Annihilation Godslaying Cannon," despite being a high-tier seven-colored ship cannon, lacked the desired impact. Thus, he opted for a specialized ability he rarely utilized.

Unlike standard ship cannons, the golden dragons conjured by the Emperor’s Dragon Qi were manifestations of the most righteous and blazing energy. This made them the ultimate nemesis for soul-based entities possessing yin attributes.

An agonizing shriek erupted from the Soul-devouring Beast. As the dragon qi burned, the soul mist shrouding its form began to evaporate rapidly. However, its desperation fueled a violent resistance, causing gray soul power to swell and crash like a turbulent tide.

“Watch out! It intends to self-destruct!” the Beidou Star Lord suddenly shouted in alarm.

Jiang Yuan’s expression darkened instantly.

“Ultimate White Hole Armor · White Hole Evolution!”

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beast’s frame expanded uncontrollably, and then—

“Boom!!!”

A cataclysmic explosion of soul power tore through the starry sky. Even with the protection of the Seven-colored Martial Arts Dynasty Realm, their position was rocked violently by the massive shockwave.

The vast white hole, generated by the Shenxia Jiuli Warship Avatar, was sent reeling by the blast. Fortunately, the white hole’s defensive capabilities were robust enough to prevent any catastrophic damage.

As the turbulent energy storm began to fade, the center of the fray was left desolate, save for countless shimmering gray specks of light drifting in the vacuum.

Jiang Yuan quickly regained his focus and began a rapid assessment of the battlefield's state.

The Shenxia Jiuli’s energy shields had been depleted by 52%, and its armor integrity had dropped by 21%, yet its primary combat effectiveness remained intact.

His attention soon shifted to the remnants of the self-destructed Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beast.

He quickly spotted the gray light particles floating where the explosion had occurred.

“Those are Rule Soul Spirit fragments!”

Jiang Yuan’s eyes shimmered with excitement. “Commence collection immediately! Even in their shattered state, their worth is beyond measure!”

The traction beam was engaged, drawing the gray fragments into the warship one by one.

Initial estimations suggested these fragments would be sufficient to marginally progress his Rule Understanding.

Furthermore, the leftover pure soul thought energy was enough to refine at least fifteen Mythical Souls.

While the haul differed slightly from his first projections, the mission was still a resounding success.

“It’s a shame those two Mythical Souls were caught in the blast,” the Beidou Star Lord remarked with a sigh of regret.

Jiang Yuan shook his head in disagreement.

“It isn't a loss. The Rule Soul Spirit from a Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beast is significantly more valuable than standard Mythical Souls.”

Having said that, he turned his gaze toward the group of high-rank Soul-devouring Beasts attempting to escape in the distance.

“Now, let us finish off the rest of them.”

The remaining skirmish was far less taxing. Without the Tenth Rank leader to anchor them, the high-rank Soul-devouring Beasts were systematically wiped out.

The battle finally reached its end when the last Ninth Rank Soul-devouring Beast was extinguished.

“Provide a tally of the spoils,” Jiang Yuan commanded.

Shortly after, the Intelligent Brain delivered a comprehensive report:

The harvest included twenty-eight Rule Soul Spirit fragments, fifteen Tenth Rank Mythical Souls, and over a thousand Dominant True Spirits across various ranks.

Jiang Yuan found the results quite satisfactory.

He did not let his guard down, however.

“Resume the patrol. This Seventh Arm Region is far more treacherous than we anticipated; we must remain on high alert.”

“Understood!”

...

Such a high-level mythic confrontation was a rare occurrence, as Tenth Rank Soul-devouring Beasts seldom ventured into the outer fringes of the Fallen God Sea.

For these unique creatures, soul energy is their primary strength, and the environmental advantages they enjoy diminish as one moves toward the edge of the sea.

In contrast, the deeper one travels toward the core of the Fallen God Sea, the more terrifying the power of these Mythical Soul-devouring Beasts becomes.

Had that battle occurred in the heart of the Fallen God Sea, the result would likely have been very different.

Thus, Jiang Yuan had truly capitalized on a favorable situation this time.

However, this was a singular event. For the next several centuries, no similar encounters took place.

While others were preoccupied with gathering Mythical Souls, Song Chi, situated far away in the Human Emperor City, was focusing on much more urgent matters.

After several hundred years of careful deliberation, he finally reached a conclusion.

Following a brief message to Jiang Yuan, he vanished from the Chaos Wall.

Since Jiang Yuan had witnessed a similar occurrence when Song Chi previously swapped his flagship and avatar, he wasn't alarmed, assuming Song Chi was simply recalling his vessel.

In reality, the truth was different.

Within the Fallen God Sea, inside the Cangqiong’s Main Control Room, Song Chi’s form materialized out of thin air.

The moment he arrived, he swiftly compressed the warship avatar to its limit and stored it within the Dimension Space Stone.

Once finished, he did not linger. He had no intention of retrieving the Cang Qiong’s main body at this time and disappeared from the bridge once more.

Curiously, he did not return to Human Emperor City or the Torch Domain. Instead, he traveled to the City of Transcendence.

Previously, a mirror image warship had been sent to this City of Transcendence via a special entry permit, causing him to lose contact with it.

After returning to the Chaos Divine Land, he used his Ninth Rank status to influence the Chaos Zhu Tian Ruins Market and made a trip to the City of Transcendence.

At that time, he only went to recover the mirror image warship and establish a spatial anchor point, without exploring further.

This time, Song Chi’s return to the City of Transcendence was driven by a single goal: to fully investigate the secrets of the ancient city hidden deep within the Chaos Sea.
