Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1747: Chapter 852: A Clean Escape (Part 2)

The second and third waves of bone spike storms came; these fierce bone spikes, traveling at speeds over a hundred times the speed of light, were again slowed by a factor of a thousand. Although still fast, they at least allowed the Mirror Image Warship to respond accordingly.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong adjusted its ship body repeatedly, with the side armor continuously expanding. Countless main and secondary cannons spewed fire snakes, intercepting these destructive bone spikes with all their might.

Meanwhile, replicas of Judgment Light, Blood Erosion Destruction Cannon, High-dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon, and other colorful ship cannons were successively unleashed.

Multiple destruction beams directed at the Demon Bone Warship, twisting and devouring light along their path.

The Demon Bone Warship clearly did not expect such a swift counterattack.

The blood and flesh on its surface squirmed wildly, forming a bone shield at the ship’s bow.

"Boom—"

A terrifying explosive sound echoed through the void, as the bone shield at the Demon Bone Warship’s head only lasted a few moments, subsequently engulfed by the horrific energy storm.

However, Song Chi’s face showed no joy; he knew that this round of attack was not enough to cause fatal damage to the Mythical Unit.

The data displayed by the replica of the Eye of Truth confirmed that the Demon Bone Warship indeed suffered considerable damage in the explosive aftermath. Yet, as time progressed, its damaged parts were regrowing at an astonishing pace.

Turning his gaze, Song Chi looked toward the battlefield not far away, where the Shenxia Jiuli Ship was. Somehow, the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor seemed attracted to the battle here, suddenly turning one of its heads, shooting beams of green light from its trioculars.

These beams intertwined into a net in the void, sweeping toward this side.

However, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s response was quick as well. Atop the ship, thousands of martial artists in the Martial Arts Dynasty Realm simultaneously practiced their martial arts, and the light of martial arts overflowed from the Dynasty Realm, contacting the green poisonous net, emitting corrosion sounds.

Taking this opportunity, Song Chi, within the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s main body, proactively spoke to Jiang Yuan:

"Emperor Jiang, can you briefly tear apart the Poison Attribute Rule Realm enveloping the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor?"

Jiang Yuan did not know what Song Chi intended, but he nodded seriously.

"Alright!"

Song Chi focused, diverting most of his spiritual concentration onto the Mirror Image Warship’s side. Or rather, onto the replica of the Warship Swapping Device on the Mirror Image Warship.

This component recently evolved to Gold Quality through origin refinement energy, and under the replication clone’s Soul Devouring Altar enhancement, it was temporarily strengthened to Black Quality.

He needed to utilize this component to accomplish the swap with the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s warship avatar, thereby ensuring its chance for a complete retreat.

Compared to the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s warship avatar is far more significant. As the only Mythical Unit of the Torch Civilization exploring this Origin Star, every moment of exploration by the Shenxia Jiuli Ship is exceedingly precious, for it is the only legal Torch Warship allowed to explore the surface of the Origin Star.

In comparison, the Mirror Image Warship, which can be resummoned in over a month, bears a much lesser cost for being sunk a few times.

In the lower skies of the Origin Star’s surface, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship suddenly emitted sharp friction sounds, transforming swiftly from warship form back to Mythical Mecha form.

"Jiuli · Breaking Realm!"

The Seven-Colored Jiuli Heavy Halberd swung mightily, leaving a crimson trajectory millions of kilometers long in the void, unveiling ancient starry battlefield illusions of corpses and blood seas where the halberd blade passed. Ancient runes surfaced on the blade, slashing toward the green light curtain around the Poison Flood Dragon Emperor.

"Crack—"

The crisp shattering sound resonated through the void as the Rule Realm of the Poison Flood Dragon Emperor was cleaved open in a crack tens of thousands of meters long, causing a temporary disturbance in the circulating Poison Law.

"Now’s the time!" Song Chi’s eyes sparkled sharply.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship, the Gold Quality Warship Swapping Device suddenly illuminated with blinding brilliance, momentarily breaking through to the critical point of Black Quality under the replication clone’s Soul Devouring Altar.

"Swap program activated!"

Song Chi’s command synchronized precisely with Jiang Yuan’s cooperation; as the Shenxia Jiuli Ship deliberately withdrew all defense fields, two space anchoring beams accurately targeted both warships.

Buzz—

The void trembled, yet the swap program suddenly experienced anomalies as the fragmented Rule Realm of the Poison Flood Dragon Emperor began self-repairing, and violent space turbulence disrupted the swapping process.

"Warning! Space channel instability!" The Intelligent Brain’s alarm sounded piercingly.

Cold sweat emerged on Song Chi’s forehead; he hadn’t anticipated the Poison Flood Dragon Emperor’s recovery ability to be so terrifying. However, Jiang Yuan was the first to react without Song Chi needing to take action.

Above the head of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship warship avatar, the Martial Arts Dynasty Realm exploded violently; the Rule-level explosion momentarily disrupted the repair actions of the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor, allowing the positions of the two warships to successfully swap at the last moment.

This process was actually completed in an instant, yet Song Chi and Jiang Yuan had communicated beforehand, and Jiang Yuan understood the cooldown time of his warship avatar too long. Hence, he did not refuse when Song Chi proposed the idea, allowing them to coordinate perfectly without wasting a second.

"Boom!"

Almost immediately upon completing the warship exchange, the poisonous flame torrent spewed by the Poison Flood Dragon Emperor flooded the area where the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was located.

The Mirror Image Warship’s proud Mythical Pulse Energy Shield instantly plummeted below the alert line, with the armor surface visibly corroding at an alarming rate.

Even though Song Chi promptly activated Final Blessing and Medal of Resurrection, it couldn’t change the ending of the Mirror Image Warship being utterly submerged by endless poisonous flames.

In just the blink of an eye, the Mirror Image Warship’s Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess feature of the replication Time Chess Board was forcibly activated.

Despite the resurrected Mirror Image Warship, it could only succumb repeatedly to the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor, each time lasting no more than ten seconds.

The Mirror Image Warship was indeed formidable, but in comparison to the combat power close to the Eleventh Rank of the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor, it was completely incomparable.

Outside the star of the Origin Star, in the main cabin of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

Witnessing the Mirror Image Warship’s repeated cycles of sinking, a faint smile appeared in Song Chi’s eyes.

Just moments ago, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship warship avatar, swapped with the Demon Bone Warship, succeeded in shedding the mythic Demon Bone Warship, and broke free of the poison mist domain, successfully jumped tens of thousands of light-years, fully escaping danger.

Thus, the mission of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship is now successfully completed.

Seeing this, Song Chi no longer intended to continue using the Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess to entangle with the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor and proactively dismissed the Mirror Image Warship.

In the final perspective before the Mirror Image Warship dissipated, he saw the enraged Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor losing its target, and directly shifting its attention to the Demon Bone Warship.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, several other Mythical Creatures also arrived sequentially, suggesting that another spectacular battle would certainly ensue here, albeit unrelated to their Torch Civilization.

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the Market Walking Room on the third floor of a guesthouse.

"Greedy Wolf, this is yours!"

The Sun Deuterium Stone Raw Ore, divided into four parts, was given to Song Chi by Jiang Yuan and the other two, tossing him the largest piece.

Song Chi did not refuse, as he was the one who finally retreated last.

Weighing the piece of Sun Deuterium Stone Raw Ore in his hands, Song Chi estimated that once refinement is completed in the future, it should suffice to meet the special resource formula needs of several Superdimensional Mother Ships.

After Jiang Yuan and his companions had left, Song Chi was less than happy. The previous performance of the Mirror Image Warship against the Two-headed Poison Flood Dragon Emperor made him realize one point: The Three-colored Mythical Pulse Energy Shield and Neutron Star Core Armor, once his pride, have now become the shortcoming of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

The Neutron Star Core Armor was alright; after years of the family, the market, and the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall’s efforts to purchase Neutron Star Remains, the further evolution of this Three-colored Component was near completion and believed not to take long to finalize.

On the contrary, the Mythical Pulse Energy Shield lacked growth potential, now genuinely a huge shortcoming on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Some measures must be taken to replace it with a higher-quality Energy Shield component.

However, Song Chi was not in a hurry. Among the Market Token rooms, he had already spotted several suitable components; though not of Colorful Extreme Position Quality, they were Colorful Upper Energy Shield components. He just needed to wait for the temporary owners of these Token rooms to settle, and soon he could equip the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with a new Energy Shield.
