Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1693 - 828: Bosha Transcendence Tower Emerges

"Legend says the City of Transcendence has endured through countless eras, existing even before the Shattered Starry Sea and the Multiverse periods. Throughout these eternal ages, one wonders what kind of terrifying monsters have emerged?"

"I am aware that eight million years ago, a genius from the Eternal Clan managed to clear the trial using nothing more than an avatar!"

...

Song Chi’s curiosity was fully ignited by these words, but the Ninth Rank Alien standing before him suddenly went silent.

Its lone eye stared at Song Chi, flickering with a cryptic expression.

Song Chi instantly grasped the unspoken meaning behind that gaze.

Raising a hand slightly, his Ethereal Body tossed a mass of High Rank Floating Land Origin toward the creature.

The Ninth Rank Singular-Eyed Alien caught the Floating Land Origin and inspected the quantity; it appeared quite pleased with the amount provided.

More than ninety-nine percent of the inhabitants within this Transcendence Zone are captives, forbidden from leaving. Aside from the inherent energy circulation laws of the zone, these prisoners can only grow stronger by obtaining resources from new arrivals.

After stowing away the Floating Land Origin, the Ninth Rank Singular-Eyed Alien resumed its explanation:

"Once an avatar passes the trial, the Tower of Transcendence located in the Land of Transcendence will lock onto the creator's true body. The ultimate fate of such beings remains a mystery. However, it is certain that once the Tower of Transcendence marks someone, they inevitably vanish from public view shortly thereafter."

"Are there truly no exceptions?"

"Ancient legends claim there were two exceptions during the Multiverse era and a few others before that, though there is no way to confirm the truth of these rumors!"

...

Song Chi did not become wary upon hearing this; instead, his fascination deepened.

He remained extremely confident in himself, regardless of the fate awaiting those marked by the City of Transcendence.

If nothing else, the fact that the Zhu Tian Ruins Market could freely establish spatial anchors both inside and outside the City of Transcendence suggested that this city was, at most, at the level of a Chaos Wonder.

He believed that at the same rank, his true body within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market would be safe even if unforeseen disasters occurred.

With this logic in mind, Song Chi stopped hesitating.

His Ethereal Body turned around quickly, and the Mirror Image Warship soon took to the skies again. Following the path illuminated by the golden curtains in the firmament, he headed straight for the Land of Transcendence.

...

Energy fluctuations grew increasingly violent as the Mirror Image Warship pushed deeper into the heart of the Transcendence Zone.

Song Chi noted that from the floating stars scattered along his path, more figures were ascending into the void, all moving toward the same destination.

"It appears a vast number of beings are taking part in this trial..."

Song Chi remained privately vigilant, keeping his warship at a safe distance from others.

After observing for a while, he realized that most participants in this transcendence challenge were incredibly powerful. Over ninety percent were at the Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank, and Mythical Creatures were among them in significant numbers.

During this brief leg of the journey, he personally identified more than ten Tenth Rank Mythical Units, including one Eleventh Rank Mythical Creature.

This discovery shocked Song Chi deeply. While he appeared calm on the surface, his internal alarms were ringing at maximum volume.

He understood that the territory the Mirror Image Warship had already crossed was merely the tip of the iceberg. The total number of Mythical Creatures within the entire Transcendence Zone likely exceeded all imagination.

'Could there be hundreds?'

"Or perhaps even thousands?"

Song Chi felt his breath hitch as that thought crossed his mind.

By now, the conviction that the City of Transcendence concealed a world-shaking secret was firmly rooted in his heart.

Furthermore, he had begun to piece together a hidden rule of the Transcendence Zone:

This place functioned like a massive colosseum where every entrant had to prove their worth through the "transcendence challenge."

Victory might bring rewards beyond the heavens and the myriad realms, but failure meant being trapped forever. Upon death, one's energy would return to the starry sky to sustain the extreme energy cycle of the Transcendence Zone.

"The Storm Sea is ahead."

A limitless ocean of energy suddenly blocked the warship's path. Raging chaos energy surged into massive waves, each possessing enough power to shred Seventh Rank or even average Eighth Rank experts.

"Is this the opening trial?"

Song Chi’s eyes sharpened, but he did not waver.

The replicated Mythical Pulse Energy Shield and Neutron Star Core Armor on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Mirror Image Warship were fully engaged. Simultaneously, the detection systems of the replicated Eye of Truth were pushed to their limit. He planned to maneuver the warship instantly to dodge any chaos wave that posed a threat to mythical-level entities.

"Buzz——"

The Mirror Image Warship plunged into the Storm Sea, immediately engulfed by towering waves of chaos that blotted out the sky.

Song Chi’s vision blurred as the hull vibrated violently under the constant hammering of the Storm Sea.

The situation was manageable at first, as the majority of the chaos waves were only at the Seventh or Eighth Rank. Even when the occasional Ninth Rank wave appeared, its destructive force was only at the early Ninth Rank level.
