Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1662: Chapter 816: Chaos Exploration (Part 3)

"Emergency avoidance, initiate long-range spatial jump!"

The engine of the Mirror Image Warship spewed dazzling blue flames, and at the critical moment, successfully propelled the Mirror Image Warship to disappear through the gap between two energy torrents.

Song Chi noticed that at the moment the Mirror Image Warship vanished, more chaotic torrents were forming, quickly weaving into a gigantic storm web obscuring the sky.

Taking a deep breath, he controlled himself to calm down.

Chaos Storms are the most dangerous and common natural phenomena on Divine Land, and it is said that once caught in an ultra-large Chaos Storm, even Mythical Creatures would face great peril.

Fortunately, through this timely spatial jump, the Mirror Image Warship had successfully escaped danger.

Despite the ten-thousandfold suppression of the half high-dimensional space on Divine Land, this "Red Vault Jump" still covered nearly seven hundred light-years, long out of the area formed by the super Chaos Storm.

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years had elapsed.

During these years, Song Chi was almost constantly on the move, continuously distancing himself from Human Emperor City through the use of the Red Vault Jump Device and Space Jump Device.

After more than two thousand years of exploration waves, combined with over two hundred thousand years of continual exploration, the value of the areas surrounding Human Emperor City had been exhausted. To gain any harvest, it was necessary to move away from Human Emperor City.

In over ten years, through countless ordinary and long-range jumps, the Mirror Image Warship had traveled over four hundred thousand light-years from Human Emperor City.

This region faintly bore traces of firepower sweeps from the Torch Warship, but they were extremely limited. Clearly, being this far from Human Emperor City was a rarity even among high-rank Torch Warships.

However, Song Chi still did not pause. The warship’s engine roared again, ready to continue thrusting into the distance.

It was at this moment that the Replicated Eye of Truth suddenly captured an abnormal reading.

"What is that..."

In the densest area of chaotic torrents beside the warship, there was actually a relatively calm space.

Even more surprising, several geometric outlines containing special rules faintly appeared in the energy vortex — this was definitely not a naturally formed sight.

Song Chi hesitated for only half a second before making a decision.

Rather than forcibly breaking through the storm, it was better to take a gamble.

He maneuvered the warship in a sharp turn, diving toward that mysterious region.

Chaos energy lashed at the shield, emitting a sharp and urgent whistle.

The Energy Shield Shield Value was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye:

85%

72%

59%

...

Just as the shield was about to shatter, the warship suddenly broke through an invisible barrier, bursting into a spherical safe space.

Song Chi did not relax even a bit, first activating a replication of the Final Blessing component. After the Energy Shield Shield Value was partially restored, he turned his gaze to the surroundings and was quickly taken aback by the sight in front of him.

A black tower, its surface engraved with unknown runes, floated aloft with its entire body. The symbols on the tower’s body flashed rhythmically with the external storm, as if breathing.

Atop the black tower was a giant crystal, continuously absorbing the surrounding Chaos Energy.

The Ethereal Body under Song Chi’s control squinted tightly, gaze fixed intently on the black tower above.

At the sight of this black tower, the words "Unknown Civilization Relic" first floated to his mind, but he quickly shook his head.

"No, this is not a relic of civilization, nor an artifact of sentient beings, more like a special form of Chaos Nest."

Looking at the giant crystal atop the black tower that kept absorbing external Chaos Energy, and transmitted tremors at intervals like a heart still alive, so did the black tower below it.

As for why there were no Chaos Beasts around, Song Chi also had a guess.

It was highly likely that this was a Chaos Nest that had just been conceived, and based on its energy-level strength, it should be at the initial stage of the Ninth Rank, a Hong Level Chaos Nest.

{Huang (nurtures Chaos Beasts up to Sixth Level) Xuan (can nurture many Sixth Level Chaos Beasts) Di (up to Seventh Level) Tian (many Seventh Level) Huang (Eighth Level) Hong (Ninth Level) Zhou (Tenth Rank Myth) Yu (Eleventh Rank Myth)}

Only because it had not yet completed its nurturing process, no Chaos Beasts had been born.

Realizing the specific origin of this black tower, Song Chi’s heart leaped with joy.

A Hong Level Chaos Nest that was in the process of being nurtured, capable of nurturing Ninth Rank Chaos Beasts at its peak; conquering it in one fell swoop would ensure a continuous production of various Rare Resources in the future.

This includes Dominant True Spirit, Starry Sea Oddities, Floating Land Origin, Rare Minerals, and the rewards for the first conquest would definitely be the highest, qualifying it as a veritable treasure trove.

Of course, the key factor is that this Chaos Nest is still under development, and just waiting for its completion. He’ll have the opportunity to challenge it first; newly formed Chaos Nests are the easiest to confront because they haven’t had time to nurture too many high-rank Chaos Beasts.

"It seems this is the benefit my Upper Middle draw foretold!"

Musing to himself, Song Chi quietly waited aboard the Mirror Image Warship.

The nurturing of a Chaos Nest often requires an extremely long time, but this black tower-shaped Chaos Nest before him, clearly near completion, meant Song Chi didn’t mind spending some time waiting.

Only then could he seize the best opportunity for the subsequent challenge.

Time flowed slowly, as Chaos Energy surged like tides around the black tower, the ancient runes on it flickering with the energy fluctuations as if playing a symphony from the dawn of the universe.

Song Chi controlled the Mirror Image Warship to maintain a safe distance, with the warship’s scanning system operating at full power, continuously collecting data on this mysterious black tower.

His Ethereal Body’s fingertips swiped quickly across the holographic projection, pulling up streams of data.

"At this nurturing speed, full maturation will likely take... about six months."

"Here’s hoping all goes smoothly, my Upper Middle draw luck, and nothing unexpected happens!!!"
