Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1711 - 835: Millennium_2

"A blade is dangling right above our skulls, yet you are still preoccupied with those resources? At this moment, I am not even certain we can successfully flee from this Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group."
"What are you talking abo—"
Inside the Eighth Rank Peak Ship Corpse, a pair of Eighth Rank Extreme Corpse Emperors were locked in a heated argument. Before the more muscular Corpse Emperor could finish his sentence, a sharp, ear-piercing screech suddenly erupted from the rear of the ship corpse, which was currently traveling at maximum velocity.
"Swish!"
A Three-Colored Sword Light sliced through the emptiness. The figure of the Asura Emperor tore through the void, charging forward with the Heavenly Destiny Void-cutting Sword. Carrying enough power to split the Star River itself, he slashed toward the retreating fleet of the Corpse Emperor Clan.
However, just as the sword light was poised to strike, the Eighth Rank Ship Corpse flagship—shaped like a colossal rotting carcass at the heart of the fleeing fleet—suddenly detonated. Countless pieces of putrid flesh coalesced into a massive net within the vacuum, momentarily obstructing the sword light's path.
"It is the 'Blood and Flesh Forbidden Curse' of the Corpse Emperor Clan!"
The voice of the Beidou Star Lord echoed from the Shaking Light Sky Star, which had surged out of the void closely following the Asura Emperor.
Yet, there was no gravity in his tone; instead, he sounded quite nonchalant.
To avoid drawing unwanted attention, the enemy had only brought two Eighth Rank Ship Corpses and four Seventh Rank Ship Corpses. Even if both Eighth Rank vessels possessed Eighth Rank Extreme combat strength, they posed virtually no threat to the two superdimensional captains.
Amidst this calm, the Beidou Star Lord’s voice seemed to carry a trace of excitement.
"They even went as far as sacrificing their flagship, so it appears the Myriad Corpses Blood Marrow they are transporting exceeds our initial estimates!"
At that moment, Song Chi's voice transmitted from within the newly arrived Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
"Let us hope that is the case!"
With those words, multiple Five-Colored Ropes suddenly lashed out from the warship’s hull. Ignoring the constraints of spatial distance, they instantly crossed the vast gap to ensnare the remaining ship corpses of the Corpse Emperor Clan fleet ahead.
"Halt for me!"
The Immortal Binding Rope tightened abruptly, causing the Corpse Emperor Clan's ship corpses to erupt with agonizing explosions. However, instead of slowing down, they accelerated once more—intricate corpse patterns manifested on the surface of the vessels, beginning to incinerate the ship corpses' flesh and blood!
The Beidou Star Lord’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"They would rather the ships be destroyed and their lives lost just to ensure the Blood Marrow is delivered..."
Muttering to himself, a massive surge of starlight and the power of time suddenly burst from the Shaking Light Sky Star. Under the fusion of these two distinct energies, an indescribable effect was birthed as time began to lapse.
Wherever the starlight reached, the boundless power of time followed. Once the starlight completely enveloped the Corpse Emperor Clan vessels, the remaining five ship corpses were frozen in the starry sky, unable to move.
Seizing this opening, Song Chi maneuvered the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to fly forward rapidly, nearly closing the gap with the five ship corpses.
"Something is not right..."
Within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi’s eyes suddenly squinted.
As the Mirror Image Warship continued its approach toward the five ship corpses, he felt a persistent and powerful sense of dread welling up inside him.
Before he could process the thought, a section of the void ahead suddenly fractured. Looking up, he saw five crimson silhouettes looming within the depths of the void.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Five blood-colored beams fired instantly, leaving no room for a reaction.
If it had been a standard attack, Song Chi might have been able to struggle for a moment of reaction time. The issue was that the Blood Erosion Energy Beams launched by these five Rakshasa Death Spirit Ships did not follow normal trajectories. The moment they were fired, the crimson beams appeared directly in front of the Mirror Image Warship.
"Boom!"
Blood-red light erupted, staining the entire Star Domain in a dark crimson hue.
Amidst the violent sounds of self-destruction, the replica of the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain within the Mirror Image Warship continuously triggered alarm messages.
[Warning: Warship energy shield is under high-intensity impact. Energy shield value has decreased by 29%...]
[Warning: Warship energy shield... decreased by 55%...]
[Warning: Warship energy shield has completely overloaded...]
...
[Warning: Warship armor damage has exceeded 42%...]
...
[Warning: Warship hull damage has exceeded 30%...]
[Warning: Warship hull damage has exceeded 80%. The vessel has lost all maneuverability!]
As the energy began to dissipate, the mangled and battered Mirror Image Warship of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was revealed in the starry sky. Even the Shaking Light Sky Star, located some distance away, had its energy shield sizzling from the erosion, its strength significantly depleted.
The coordinated ultimate energy attack from five Ninth Rank Rakshasa Death Spirit Ships had completely overwhelmed the Mirror Image Warship in a single instant, even with its shields active.
Deep within the Heavenly Ruins of the Zhu Tian Market, Song Chi’s breath hitched for a brief moment.
The decision to have the Mirror Image Warship act while the true body of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong remained hidden in the void was merely a habit of his. In truth, he had never anticipated that the Mirror Image Warship would suddenly face such terrifying, concentrated fire.
It was so overwhelming that even the actual Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would likely have suffered the same fate, resulting in the waste of a precious use of the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess."
Thinking of this, his gaze turned ice-cold, overflowing with intense killing intent as he stared at the five Ninth Rank Rakshasa Death Spirit Ships in the depths of the void.
"Greedy Wolf!"
The Beidou Star Lord, still unaware that Song Chi had only sent a Mirror Image Warship, spoke with a voice that trembled with uncontrollable shivers.
It wasn't that he shared a deep bond with Song Chi; the issue lay with the access rights of the Fifth Torch Empire. If something truly happened to Song Chi, then all the previous efforts of the Fifth Battlefront would be entirely in vain.
"Boom!"
Just as the Beidou Star Lord’s voice faded, a dazzling platinum light suddenly erupted from deep within the void.
That light, resembling the first ray of a new dawn, instantly shredded the Star Domain that had been smothered in blood-red light.
