Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1879: 912: Starry Sea Upheaval (Part 2)

Beyond that, assistance from over a dozen Tenth Rank Mythical Powers—including Song Chi, Ji Heng, and various Mythical Enslaved Creatures—bolsters the defenses from the flanks, rendering the Human Emperor City utterly unassailable.

Naturally, as long as no Transcenders intervene personally.

And that's precisely what happened.

Throughout the ensuing hundred years, the mythical clashes beyond the city walls grew fiercer and extended further. From time to time, echoes of those fights or savage Mythical Creatures drew near the Human Emperor City, but the potent mythical presences radiating from inside—particularly the formidable menace of the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon—prompted most to withdraw.

Those rare few that ignored the signs and pressed on were either driven back or slain outright, overwhelmed by coordinated strikes from five Mythical Immortal Ships and a horde of Mythical Enslaved Creatures.

In the midst of this turbulent Star Realm, the Human Emperor City stood as a singular sanctuary of calm.

For mythical beings, a century passes in an instant, yet amid a sprawling conflict involving myriad superpowers, it allows for profound shifts.

The leaders of the Torch Civilization had assumed that a mythical war of such magnitude enduring for a hundred years marked the peak, expecting all sides to recoil from the mounting tolls, given that Tenth Rank Mythical Powers aren't disposable—they form the vital foundation of their races' legacies. In that span, more than a few had perished.

They anticipated a tapering off in ferocity, perhaps even a halt for negotiations amid the heavy casualties.

But they misjudged.

Utterly misjudged!

After that century, the relentless carnage near the former Heaven-Fighting Ruins (now a perilously unstable Chaotic Turbulence Zone) showed no hint of easing; rather, it escalated into even deadlier savagery.

Fallen Mythical Creatures multiplied rapidly, with the demise of Tenth Rank Mythicals echoing through mournful wails and tremors in the rules layer.

Furthermore, to the astonishment of observers across this battlefield, exactly one hundred years on, a wave of rule sorrow vastly deeper and more devastating than any Tenth Rank Myth's end surged across half the Heavenly Ape Star Realm!

An Eleventh Rank Myth… had perished!

It belonged to an ancient Demon God of the Abyss, its death unleashing a rule breakdown like a permanent gash ripped in chaos, lingering unhealed for ages.

This Eleventh Rank Myth's downfall served as a trigger, setting ablaze an even vaster theater of war.

The cataclysmic hybrid conflict ignited by the Sea of High Dimensions refused to end; instead, it spread like an unstoppable contagion, ballooning wildly past the Heavenly Ape Star Realm at a pace never seen before.

Across the Chaos Divine Land, mighty races and timeless entities from other Star Realms got pulled in or joined voluntarily; the vortex of warfare swelled, its reach broadening relentlessly.

Within the Human Emperor City, Song Chi, Jiang Yuan, and their companions perched atop the city walls, staring into the distant chaotic void—now wilder and more horrifying than a century prior—sensing the ongoing aftershocks from the Eleventh Rank Myth's falls, their faces etched with profound gravity.

“This storm… appears far more terrifying than we ever thought.”

Emperor Jiang Yuan murmured deliberately, his tone laced with a subtle yet evident weight.

Song Chi gave a quiet nod, his instincts drawing him to the Sea of High Dimensions resting silently in his Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

This Chaos Wonder, the root of all turmoil, weighed upon him like an oppressive load.

He realized that while the Torch Civilization enjoyed a brief respite, the whole Chaos Divine Land was being swept into an era of unparalleled chaos, and this rampaging super mythical hybrid war across the chaotic Star Realms was merely the prelude.

…

Shattered Starry Sea, Shi Clan’s Brahma Spirit Mountain River System Cluster.

In the shadowy, barren Star Domain, as unprecedented chaos gripped everything, while superpowers fixated on the Chaos Divine Land's nexus, the hegemonic Shi Clan Civilization pursued the contrary path; from the Dark Star Sea, armies of Buddha Soldiers deployed from the Shi Clan’s River System Communities, advancing on the domains of nearby high-level and pinnacle high-level civilizations.

Yuefeng River System Cluster, formerly a thriving hub of a pinnacle high-level civilization.

Today, it lay in ruins like hell itself.

The golden Buddha Light offered no serenity or redemption, only icy killing and ruin.

Endless Buddha Soldiers in gleaming gold armor, their expressions a mix of mercy and fury, surged across the starry expanse like a gilded flood; wherever they advanced, Floating Lands crumbled, civilizations suffered bloodshed, dark energy space stations and Yuefeng warships alike dissolved into stellar debris under the relentless assault of Buddhist Sect’s sacred techniques.

“Our civilization surrenders! We pledge loyalty to the Shi Clan as our highest overlords and vow annual tributes!” Desperation filled the voice of the Yuefeng Civilization's leader, who sought to barter obedience for any chance of survival.

Yet, in response came only heightened barrages, joined by the chilling, impersonal grand Brahma chant resounding in the soul:

“The sea of bitterness knows no end, bound by karma's chains, step into my Brahma Heaven Pure Land, wash away your stains, and forge your authentic self!”

This offered no mercy, but total annihilation and forced “rebirth.”

All who opposed, together with every vestige of their civilizations, were eradicated utterly; solely vast hauls of precious resources and goods were steadily ferried back to the Shi Clan Civilization’s holdings.

Not even the elite advanced civilizations could withstand the Shi Clan forces, much less the myriad mid-tier and lesser ones?

Beneath the Shi Clan’s abrupt and devastating onslaught, these societies couldn't muster any real defense and vanished entirely, like mist under the sun.

A handful of shrewd advanced and top advanced civilizations swiftly forsook their peripheral zones at the disaster's dawn, pulling back their essential troops to final strongholds in hopes of banding together for mutual safeguard.

At the same time, cries of anguish and supplication spanned countless light-years, aimed at the domain of the Shattered Starry Sea's other overlord—the Emperor Barbarian Civilization.

“We implore the Emperor Barbarian Clan for aid in standing against the Shi Clan’s outrages!”

“When lips and teeth fall, the cold follows; we beg His Majesty the Barbarian God to uphold the Starry Sea's order!”

But deeper hopelessness met them.

The Emperor Barbarian Civilization stood as yet another mark in the Shi Clan’s ruthless conquest.

Nearly at the same instant the appeals arrived, the expansive borders of the Emperor Barbarian Star Domain blazed with warfare hotter than in any advanced civilization's lands.

The Shi Clan’s core Buddha Soldiers and immortal-aura Guardian Gods clashed headlong with the Emperor Barbarian’s colossal Barbarian Beast Legion, Totem Warriors, and Barbarian God priests.

The deep-seated grudges and history between these two Star Sea hegemons detonated savagely right then.

From the outset, the conflict's ferocity exceeded all expectations; stars winked out like spent sparks, and entire star system clusters became lifeless voids amid the Overlord Level powers' fury. Emperor Barbarian fighters charged with fearless valor, drawing on robust physiques and savage Totem Power to briefly stem the Shi Clan Buddha Soldiers’ advance.

The whole Shattered Starry Sea watched, anticipating a prolonged clash of titans.

Yet, the war's path veered into shocking reversal.

In a pivotal clash within a crucial Star Domain, as the Emperor Barbarian Clan’s concealed second Barbarian God loomed in secret with crushing presence—

A sudden twist unfolded!

From the Emperor Barbarian ranks, more than three mighty Ninth Rank Emperor Barbarian Dominators, plus their elite legions, betrayed in unison.

Blinding Buddha Light burst forth from their midst, their primal barbarian blood now streaked with eerie gold, their gazes emptied into fanatic piety, as they turned blades and fiercest maledictions on their startled comrades.

“Brahma Sound Conversion! The Shi Clan has long corrupted them!”

Chaos engulfed the Emperor Barbarian side instantly, their careful war arrays ripped apart internally, laying bare fatal gaps to the Shi Clan’s vanguard.

“Roar!! You wretched bald monk!”

A bellow brimming with infinite fury and wrath cracked the void, as the Emperor Barbarian’s ultimate secret weapon—a Barbarian God radiating primeval, wrathful mythical essence—emerged from the void's abyss, striving to turn the tide of defeat.

Its aura dominated utterly, the primal force sweeping the Star Domain, a lone strike pulverizing a traitorous Ninth Rank Emperor Barbarian Dominator and the nearby Star Domain to nothingness.

Still, even as this Tenth Rank Barbarian God prepared to unleash its peerless dominance and steady the field—

“Amitabha!”

A tranquil Buddhist incantation rang out; from the Shi Clan’s lines, the Dharma Aspect of the Brahma Sound Embryo Hidden Wheel Bright King appeared, its Thousand-leaf Treasure Lotus unfurling infinite radiance, the spinning wheel engaging to summon karma and fate's might, immediately ensnaring the Mythical Barbarian God.

A clash at the mythical tier exploded with raw force.
