Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1708 - 834: Facing the Rakshasa Head-On

"Boom——!"

A world-shaking detonation occurred, and in an instant, half of the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains was reduced to nothingness.

Song Chi was momentarily paralyzed by the sight.

As a prized relic preserved by the Corpse Emperor Clan for tens of thousands of years, the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains should have been far more durable than this.

However, he didn't have to wonder for long, as the following events immediately provided an explanation.

Countless corpses began pouring out from the void, rushing to fill the vaporized sections of the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains, causing the damaged vessel to undergo a rapid restoration process.

"Damn, it's the 'Corpse Rebirth' ability!" The Beidou Star Lord’s eyes narrowed sharply. "The ship is consuming the corpses scattered across the battlefield to heal itself!"

Even as he engaged the Skeleton Monarch, the Beidou Star Lord sent this warning. Song Chi responded with a cold smirk:

"If it needs corpses to recover, we'll simply deny it the fuel. Asura Emperor, the stage is yours."

Space suddenly fractured as the Asura Emperor descended, tearing through dimensions while wielding the Heavenly Destiny Void-cutting Sword.

With every swing of his blade, vast swaths of corpses were pulverized into dust, severely hindering the regeneration of the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains.

Still, the Asura Emperor was but a single combatant; he could not hope to intercept the nearly endless tide of bodies flooding in from the void.

Buzzzzzz!

Violent tremors shook the vacuum as a super warship manifested from the void.

The moment it arrived, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship immediately triggered the "High Energy Particle Storm," a feature mimicking the Neutron Star Core Armor.

Hovering directly over the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains, the mirror image warship transformed into a source of intense high-energy particles, which radiated outward in a chaotic, unstoppable wave.

Caught within this devastating particle field, every corpse attempting to reach the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains was disintegrated before it could make contact.

Finally, the self-repair process of the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains ground to a complete halt.

But the assault wasn't finished. The bow of the mirror image warship began to glow with a blinding light as the ship cannon reached its maximum energy output. Song Chi was determined to use this opening to obliterate the ship core once and for all.

Simultaneously, the Asura Emperor—shrouded in a Law Force Field Shield—raised his greatsword, aiming a killing blow at the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains.

[Warning: Severe spatial distortion detected. Readings indicate the opening of a specialized spatial corridor by a Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship!]

Just as the warning sounded, a crimson tear split the starry sky. Seven menacing Rakshasa Death Spirit Ships emerged slowly, taking up a predatory hunting formation that boxed in the entire battlefield.

"They actually showed up!"

Watching the seven blood-hued warships loom over the battlefield, Song Chi’s gaze turned piercing.

These seven scarlet vessels were like fangs biting into the throat of the Fifth Battlefront. If they weren't neutralized, they would dictate the outcome of the entire conflict.

The Beidou Star Lord’s voice crackled through the comms, sounding grim:

"The Rakshasa Clan is clearly protecting the Corpse Emperor Clan. If we press the attack, we risk igniting a total war between two Overlord Level Civilizations."

Song Chi disagreed. He suspected this was a calculated move by the enemy to sow hesitation and seize control of the narrative.

Moments later, a frigid spiritual transmission emanated from the Rakshasa Flagship:

"Humans, cease your advance."

Positioned at the heart of the seven death spirit ships, a Ninth Rank Extreme Warship—crowned with a skeletal blood-crest—moved forward. Its hull was coated in a viscous, pulsing blood energy that seemed to writhe like a living organism.

Song Chi gave a cold snort. While the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship held its position, his primary hull emerged from the void to confront the newcomers.

"Rakshasa Clan, haven't you overstepped your bounds?"

Within the Rakshasa Flagship, a projection appeared: a towering figure draped in a scarlet cloak. Three blood-red crystal cores embedded in his forehead glowed with an unsettling light. This was the Blood Skull Prince, a legendary figure within the Rakshasa civilization.

The Blood Skull Prince stood as one of the few Ninth Rank Extreme powerhouses of his race, second only to the mythical Rakshasa themselves.

"The Corpse Emperor Clan has pledged its loyalty to us. This Star Domain is now under the protection of the Rakshasa."

Song Chi squinted his eyes:

"Loyalty? Or are you just after the Corpse Emperor Clan’s 'Myriad Corpses Blood Marrow'?"

He spoke slowly, his voice dripping with blatant mockery.

The Myriad Corpses Blood Marrow was a legendary resource unique to the Corpse Emperor Clan, harvested only by High Rank members of the Corpse Clan. Its production was incredibly scarce; the clan had managed to save only a few dozen pounds over hundreds of millennia.

While useless to the Corpse Emperor Clan themselves, the substance was invaluable for helping flesh-and-blood beings ascend to mythical status.

The Blood Skull Prince’s pupils shrank for a split second before his expression returned to a mask of cold indifference.

"You are clever, human. But the clever are often the first to die."

Song Chi brushed off the threat:

"So, you plan to use seven death spirit ships to force the entire Torch Fleet of the Fifth Battlefront to tuck tail and run?"

The Blood Skull Prince’s crimson eyes flickered. His icy tone shifted as he made an unexpected proposal.

"Let us settle this differently. A duel—you and I!"

"If you emerge victorious, I will withdraw my forces immediately, and the Corpse Emperor Clan will be yours to deal with.

But if you lose... the fleet of your Fifth Battlefront must abandon the Skeleton River System entirely!"

"Song Chi, do not accept! That Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship is a Ninth Rank Extreme!"

The Beidou Star Lord’s warning rang in Song Chi’s ear, but Song Chi had already made up his mind.
