Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1790 - 873: [Milo Immortal Realm] (2)

In a mere flash, the warship spanned a vast stretch and plunged into the "vacuum" zone where the flames had burned away the gray fog.

Experiencing it directly, Song Chi grasped even more clearly how frail this flame had become. The origin of its power appeared to have endured some horrific injury, with the wavering fire radiating pure exhaustion, like it might snuff out completely at any second.

Yet he also detected the timeless, unbreakable essence buried at its heart, holding boundless potential for creation and purification.

It’s this!

Six Ding Divine Fire!

The Mirror Image Warship's hatch slid open, and a custom container forged from rare legendary alloys, prepared well in advance, reached out toward the flame.

The gathering went surprisingly without a hitch; the divine fire apparently recognized the piece from the Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace·Broken, bound by the same roots, and offered no opposition, slipping calmly into the tailored vessel.

Buzz!

As soon as the container sealed shut, a swarm of arcane runes flared across its exterior, fully blocking the flame's aura inside and locking it away.

Right when Song Chi believed the mission was done, precisely then—

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A savage howl echoed from afar, unleashed by the three Mythical Gray Fog Energy Bodies.

They had clearly noticed the tempting "bait" vanishing all at once.

Five Purple-striped Peaches, each boosting a Tenth Rank Guiding Technique substantially, weren't items Song Chi would casually discard.

Guided by his command, right as the three gray fog energy bodies neared the Asura Emperor, he triggered the Heavenly Authority Control Ring on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong body without delay.

Through the Enslavement Mark: Frenzy trait, the Asura Emperor briefly surged to Tenth Rank battle strength. Using this to stall a bit longer, he then willingly dropped the frenzy and retreated to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market via a Ruins Market Token.

This maneuver cost only a single Purple-striped Peach.

The Purple-striped Peach brimmed with abundant Life Energy; just one sufficed to restore the Essence Blood the Asura Emperor had burned during the frenzy.

...

The dreadful mythical presence slammed in from three sides like raging waves, pinning the entire Mirror Image Warship in place.

Still, that alone wouldn't have stirred such a strong response from Song Chi; the real issue loomed in the thick gray fog overhead. A silhouette far more horrifying than the three Tenth Rank Gray Fog Energy Bodies by orders of magnitude had already halted space and time encircling the Mirror Image Warship, unnoticed until now.

Even as he piloted the Ethereal Body and kept triggering the duplicated Void Warehouse part, the Divine Fire Storage Container hanging just beneath the warship stayed inert.

"Eleventh Rank Gray Fog Energy Body, this spells real danger!"

Song Chi's face grew rather somber. No matter his planning, he hadn't anticipated an actual Eleventh Rank Gray Fog Energy Body lurking here.

What's more, this Eleventh Rank Gray Fog Energy Body evaded easy detection by the Five-Colored Eye of Truth, its might probably surpassing a standard Eleventh Rank, reaching Senior tier at minimum, or even Eleventh Rank Peak.

With that realization, Song Chi lost all urge to battle, his thoughts whirling frantically in search of an escape route, even if only for a single breath.

Spare Ruins Market Tokens waited inside the Mirror Image Warship. If they could just pierce the frozen space-time barrier outside, a mere second would let the copied Void Warehouse pull the Divine Fire Storage Container into the Dimensional Warehouse and whisk it straight to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Simple in theory, but Song Chi knew the immense challenge it posed.

Confronting a lone Eleventh Rank Mythical Unit brought crushing pressure.

Compounding that, the three far-off Tenth Rank Gray Fog Energy Bodies reacted with blinding speed, spotting the irregularity almost instantly and wheeling back around.

"No more delays!"

Cold determination filled Song Chi's gaze, aware that the returning three Tenth Rank Gray Fog Energy Bodies would ramp up the peril. He needed to pour everything into it right away.

He moved without a second's pause.

"Replicate All Laws and Rules Realm: Dao Rules World, engage!"

Suddenly, a domain infused with Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Space, and Time Dao rules expanded swiftly around the Mirror Image Warship.

Seven-Colored Quality, encompassing eight types of Dao Rules Power, made the Dao Rules World projected by the Mirror Image Warship formidable indeed, yet the vessel remained at Ninth Rank core, and no such gap could be casually overcome.

As the Dao Rules World spread out, the Eleventh Rank shadow looming above struck back.

The endless gray fog ripped open, allowing Song Chi his first glimpse of the Eleventh Rank Mythical Creature's actual form, concealed under the fog's shroud.

That single look caused his pupils to shrink sharply, as though he'd witnessed the impossible.

The Eleventh Rank entity, unveiling itself from the heavy gray fog, jolted Song Chi's spiritual awareness, leaving him nearly voiceless.

Rather than the grotesque beast he'd pictured, it was a Taoist priest shrouded in immense Immortal Spirit Qi!

Clad in an old, ragged but holy immortal robe, surrounded by faint visions of sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind—it was subdued yet clung to a supreme Dao aura that chilled the soul.

The immense sacred energy swept the void in waves, evoking an ancient Immortal Domain Saint's arrival, radiating grandeur, otherworldliness, and bottomless mystery.

Were it not for Song Chi's sharp instincts picking up, amid that overwhelming Immortal Spirit Qi, a thread of gray shadow nearly merged with its core—frigid and deathly stagnant—particularly after noting the profound gray void in its eyes, which ought to hold cosmic secrets and Dao's cycles of rebirth, so dense it warped all around, he might have mistaken it for a legendary saint enduring a calamity from the Immortal Domain.

This entity's mix of utter holiness and utter necrotic malice created a haunting, unsettling blend.

The jarring opposition and sheer force hit Song Chi harder than any outright monstrous horror.

"An Immortal Domain Saint... corrupted and altered to this degree..."

"Immortal Technique·Milo Immortal Realm!"

Allowing no time for deeper reflection, the "Saint" now exposed above unleashed its assault.

Its lifted hand skipped the gray fog energy body's typical soul strike, instead unleashing a profound and mighty Immortal Dao Divine Power—Milo Immortal Realm—stirring wild rule fluctuations nearby.

Buzz!

A warped "Immortal Realm" outline, woven from infinite gray fog but laced with uncanny Immortal Dao laws, dropped down sharply, bearing down on the Mirror Image Warship and its Dao Rules World.

Inside this Milo Immortal Realm outline, immortal halls toppled, sacred peaks shattered, celestial streams flowed backward—through ceaseless ruin and barrenness, a strange remnant of lost Immortal Dao splendor and Order's might lingered, and these clashing powers fused in a grotesque way to birth an even fiercer crushing might.

Crack! Crack!

The Mirror Image Warship's extended Dao Rules World held for just an instant before fissures spiderwebbed across its shield. The eight Dao Rules Powers fought back against the foe's weird blend of gray fog stasis and Immortal Dao Divine Power, but they yielded ground fast.

In the end, the warship's frame was merely Ninth Rank, while the adversary was genuine Eleventh Rank, brandishing bizarre divine arts—the chasm proved too wide.

"Impossible, it's buckling!"

Song Chi reeled in shock, but surrender wasn't an option.

Right as the Dao Rules World teetered on total collapse, a spectral gleam sparked in his eyes again.

Hiss—

Sheltered by the Dao Rules World, the Mirror Image Warship's hatch creaked open with effort, and the next instant, the well-known Mythical Skeleton Giant burst forth, gripping the White Bone Giant Sword that had once been the Rakshasa Heaven-Slaying Sword. Upon leaving the ship, it turned into a beam of light, hurtling straight toward the Milo Immortal Realm descending from above.

Bereft of the Dao Rules World's lingering guard, even the Skeleton Giant's Tenth Rank bones eroded swiftly under the onslaught of Immortal Domain Magic Power raining down.

At this rate, the Skeleton Giant would soon forfeit all fighting ability, far from clashing with the "Immortal Domain Saint," scarcely surviving the Milo Immortal Realm.

Yet Song Chi's plan aimed elsewhere entirely.

The Skeleton Giant pressed on upward, heedless of the rapid breakdown tearing at its frame, until it hit the heart of the Milo Immortal Realm.

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's skies, Song Chi silently formed one word.

"Detonate!"
