Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1848 - 898: Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall Corrupt Poison Mushroom

In the external realm, Song Chi had no knowledge of the events unfolding around him. Guided by his directives, the mirror image warship "Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong" advanced stealthily like a shadow in the night, pushing forward amid the viscous and lethal dark green spore mist.

Mimicking the "Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture," the Absolute Purification Domain resembled a bubble that eroded and reformed without end, blocking out the infinite viral spores beyond, while releasing a steady, eerie "sizzle" noise.

As penetration deepened, the spores' thickness and corrosive nature surged at an alarming rate, transforming into all manner of odd configurations.

At times, they fused into distorted spectral visages that wailed in agony, at others, they shifted into resilient organic vines attempting to ensnare the vessel, and occasionally, they cascaded like a torrent of corrosive acid.

Facing this relentless and rapid assault, the Purification Domain bore a tremendous burden, sustained solely by the mirror image warship's dual Colorful Engines; without them, such expenditure would prove impossible to withstand.

Moreover, troubling updates arrived: the duplicated "Eye of Truth" scan radius had shrunk to its minimum, faintly outlining just a few billion kilometers of hazy features in the distance.

While that distance appeared vast, against a spore nebula spanning light-years, it offered scarcely more vision than total blindness.

Luckily, precise navigational data directed the path, propelling the warship unerringly toward the spore nebula's fiercest and most turbulent energy epicenter.

Time blurred into uncertainty before a muffled thunder—a savage energy surge, to be exact, potent enough to shred typical souls—rippled through the spore haze.

Right on its heels, an colossal silhouette barreled forth from the forward direction.

This creature defied description. Faintly, one could make out traces of a Starry Sky Behemoth's form, yet its frame had been wholly overtaken and warped by dark green viral spores, layered in dense, endlessly multiplying spore coatings that birthed grotesque, tumorous and blistering protrusions.

Sections that formerly served as tentacles or appendages now twisted into lash-like extensions, crafted from hardened spore particles and raw energy, writhing in erratic patterns.

Chaotic and savage mythical auras pulsed from it everywhere, but its existence had fully devolved into alienation, clinging only to base urges of consumption and annihilation.

—A mythical-grade colossal creature, profoundly corrupted and grotesquely altered by the spore virus.

This altered colossal beast immediately regarded the abrupt invading mirror image warship as its prime foe and tastiest quarry, striking out without pause.

Its enormous form churned the spore fog sea, as a "limb" packed with dense viral spores and ruinous energy hammered downward with fury.

Boom!

The mirror image warship's energy barrier shuddered fiercely. Though intact, it flickered noticeably dimmer for an instant, triggering a quiet flash from the vessel's internal warning mechanism.

"Tenth Rank Junior level of energy, but with traits of extreme life erosion and energy pollution in the attack..."

Via the soul connection, Song Chi rapidly gauged the threat, yet worry eluded him. Even an average mythical force at Tenth Rank Early Stage, amid hostile surroundings, seemed manageable for the mirror image warship in his view.

The vessel countered swiftly, its secondary cannon batteries igniting, firing amplified energy rays at the proliferating "tumor" growths across the mutated colossal beast's hide. At the same time, employing maximum agility, the warship executed dazzling dodges within the pathogen-filled void, evading the mythical altered beast's wild charges and the spore barbs sprouting from its form.

The clash raged with ferocity, the mutated colossal beast stripped of intellect, numb to suffering, lunging with brutal directness. It even siphoned from the surrounding boundless spore fog to restore its losses and mend injuries.

The mirror image warship's strikes frequently tore gaping gashes in its flesh, yet swarms of spores rushed in to seal them, enabling recovery at a pace the eye could follow.

Observing this, Song Chi, who had meant only to probe briefly, chose against prolonged engagement, instead maneuvering the mirror image warship clear of the fray.

Though the Tenth Rank mythical virus-altered colossal beast held merely standard might within the mythical realm, fully eliminating it here demanded more than a quick effort. The priority remained pinpointing that mythical relic. Prolonging the stay held no wisdom.

Actually, Song Chi's original strategy shifted upon engaging the duplicated "Time Chess Board" from the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess." Anticipated to function potently even versus Eleventh Rank mythical entities, it surprisingly weakened against the mythical mutated colossal beast.

The impact existed but merely thinned the outer layer of mutated viral spores on the beast. Prior to the mirror image warship seizing an opening to strike, hordes of viral spores from the thick fog rushed forth, largely restoring the spore coating that had been stripped away.

Thus, with even the replicated "Time Chess Board" failing to unleash its complete potential, Song Chi promptly ordered the mirror image warship to pull back from the conflict.

Following a cunning diversion, the mirror image warship engaged its duplicated "Void Cloud Boat Model" element, and amid a ripple in space, it disappeared from the site, leaping several light-years distant to circle around the blocking colossal beast.

Yet, just as Song Chi began to ease, the duplicated "Eye of Truth" blared its warning once more—directly ahead, two figures of varying forms but identical mythical mutated essence materialized.
