Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1696: Chapter 829: [Torch Empire No. 5]

But the real killing move of the Primordial Emperor Insect was just beginning.

Its body suddenly curled up, the chaos patterns on its shell all lit up, and a suffocating pressure enveloped the entire space—

"Crack——!"

The void shattered like a mirror, and a massive black hole formed in front of it, a terrifying attraction instantly locking onto the warship, making even light unable to escape!

[Warning! The void state is affected by unknown factors, and it is about to end.]

Song Chi was frantically calculating an escape plan, but the gravity of the black hole had already twisted all physical laws, and the warship was being slowly dragged into the abyss of destruction.

He wanted to gamble again, activating the replicated clone [Soul Devouring Altar], evolving the golden engine to black, and with the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] both running in overload mode, he desperately pushed the mirror image warship to escape the terrifying devouring gravity.

But the devouring force triggered by the mythical creature was too terrifying. No matter how hard the mirror image warship struggled, it could not truly break free.

Watching the encroaching shadow, Song Chi sighed helplessly.

In the next second, the giant claw of the Primordial Emperor Insect pierced the warship, and the mirror image completely shattered.

[Challenge Failed!]

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi suppressed the sting deep in his mind, his expression remained very calm.

He was not surprised by this result. Unable to use the power of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, and lacking the full combat power of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s mirror image warship, it was still too unrealistic to directly defeat a mythical power.

In fact, the mirror image warship managing to withstand so long against a Primordial Emperor Insect was somewhat beyond Song Chi’s expectations.

At the same time, this battle was not without gain; at least in face-to-face combat, it allowed Song Chi to clearly understand the terror of mythical creatures and better comprehend the insufficiencies of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

The first issue was the inadequacy of the warship’s armor defense capabilities. Previously, at the eighth rank, the colorful lower [Mythical Pulse Energy Shield] and [Neutron Star Core Armor] had enough advantage against ninth-rank enemies, but when the target switched to mythical beings, the colorful lower rank of both seemed completely inadequate.

Song Chi estimated that they would need at least colorful upper-quality energy shields and warship armor, both enhanced beyond lv110, to truly allow the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to have the capability to face mythical creatures head-on.

Additionally, the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] currently mounted on the warship is no longer quite sufficient. Not only did it fail to help the mirror image warship break through the Primordial Emperor Insect’s devouring gravity field this time, but actually, with more high-rank components being installed on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the energy supply efficiency of the colorful lower [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] also seems to be lagging behind.

...

Apart from the above inadequacies, completing the challenge up to level 349 wasn’t without reward.

As long as Song Chi returns to the [City of Transcendence] at this moment, he can directly claim the final challenge reward.

However, he had no intention of doing so.

The reward from the [Bosha Transcendence Tower] can only be claimed once. Although subsequent challenges aren’t restricted, no further rewards can be gained.

In previous mirror image warship challenges, he considered that it was far from the true strength of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. In the future, when the [Mirror Image Splitting] component successfully evolves to colorful high-rank quality, that will be the time for the mirror image warship to truly challenge, and Song Chi certainly won’t be in a hurry to waste this sole reward claim opportunity.

He had inquired from that transcendence zone, similar to the previous [Bosha Heritage Tower], the challenge rules of the [Bosha Transcendence Tower] are also that the more layers are cleared, the better the rewards received.

Between levels 349 and 350, despite only a one-level difference, there is a world of difference between a Ninth Rank Dominator and a Tenth Rank Myth.

As long as he can surpass this layer, Song Chi estimates the final reward can at least improve by one great rank.

...

While waiting for the [Mirror Image Splitting] component to cool down, the acquisition plan on the Torch Domain side was proceeding vigorously.

Under the full energy mobilization of the Dragon Spine Song Family, after several decades to a hundred years, the entire Torch Civilization had already spawned a wave of hunting the Alien Race’s Pride.

The Golden Bird Flower Kingdom, as a subordinate of the Holy Hall Federation, within the Torch Kingdom, there are six Immortal Powers in total, with the strongest being the Golden Bird Flower Royal Family—the Sric Family.

After the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization war and the Human Emperor City Guard Battle, like most powers within the Torch Civilization, the strength of the Sric Family has greatly improved over the past few thousand years, with as many as four Annihilation Starship Captains.

On this day, all four Annihilation Starship Captains of the Sric Family gathered at this place.

"Bob, you’re referring to the mission previously publicly announced by the Dragon Spine Song Family?"

"A pride at the river system community level is worth a silver oddity, with no limit on life rank, does sound good, but prides at the river system community level are not common. Bob, are you sure you called us back just for this matter?"

"Don’t rush, Klaus, what if I say I know the whereabouts of an ultra river system community-level alien?"

"Are you certain?"

Instantly, the eyes of several people in the hall brightened.

According to the detailed task information announced by the Dragon Spine Song Family, an ultra river system community-level pride can be exchanged for a golden component.

Even for a royal family with a heritage spanning over ten thousand years like theirs, the value of a golden ship-mounted component is extremely high.

Soon, in the intelligence secretly sent back from other immortal forces in the Golden Bird Flower Kingdom, there were additional reports with the message "Several Star Annihilating Ancestors of the Sric Family seem to be mobilizing abnormally."
