Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1762: Chapter 859: The Gathering Storm (Part 2)

Yan Ancestor’s hair began to fall off in large patches, exposing the festering skin beneath.

However, this veteran Transcender unleashed a fierce ferocity, grabbing the main head of the Ten Thousand Headed Demon Snake and forcibly tearing it off!

"Let’s die together!" The remaining heads of the Ten Thousand Headed Demon Snake simultaneously emitted sharp screams and detonated the severed main head.

The terrifying explosion turned the battleground center into nothingness, temporarily erasing even the concept of space-time.

When the energy turbulence subsided, the spectators saw that Yan Ancestor was already badly wounded, his left arm severed at the shoulder. The three Abyss Transcenders were equally tragic—only three heads were left of the Ten Thousand Headed Demon Snake, the Six-armed Demon God became the Armless Demon God, and the Void Demon Shadow was almost transparent.

This scene left various living beings somewhat bewildered.

The Abyss Demon Race, known for its combat power, which masters the Laws and Rules of Chaos, should not have been so inadequate in a three-on-one battle.

Both sides were originally prepared to continue the fight.

A giant axe shimmering with chaotic colors had already been summoned in Yan Ancestor’s hand, the terrifying deterrence belonging to the Chaos Wonders spreading at the fastest speed.

"Enough!"

A majestic voice suddenly resonated through the void, causing the subsequent actions of both sides to pause simultaneously, and a towering, snow-white figure descended, surprisingly an Ice Demon Clan Transcender from another transcendent force of Chaos Divine Land.

Following that, the "Father of the Sand Sea" from the Sand Spirit Clan, the "Burning Flame Ancestor" from the Heaven-Burning Clan, and other seven indigenous Transcenders from the Chaos Divine Land appeared in succession.

These Transcenders from Chaos Divine Land could not stand by while the Abyss Demon Race killed same-rank beings on their own territory.

After all, the supremacy of Chaos Divine Land over All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds was not solely reliant on Chaos Divine Land’s own semi-high-dimensional position; it also required native Transcenders powerful enough to suppress everything as ultimate deterrence.

"Hehehe, what a show of force..."

After sneering sarcastically, the three Abyss Transcendent Demon Gods could only stop and let the severely injured Yan Ancestor leave.

However, just as Yan Ancestor was dragging his broken body along the starry path back to his ancestral land, a sudden change occurred—

A gray sword light slashed out from the void, precisely penetrating his heart.

This sword light contained mysterious rules that even Transcenders could not comprehend, instantly destroying all of Yan Ancestor’s vitality.

"You...are...high..."

Yan Ancestor’s pupils contracted violently, seemingly recognizing the attacker’s identity.

But he didn’t have time to finish his sentence as his trillion-kilometer body began to disintegrate inch by inch.

The entire Chaos Divine Land suddenly trembled violently, and countless planes across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds simultaneously showered blood rain.

In the starry sky, a mournful wail echoed, as the All Heavens Star Sea wept for the fall of a Twelfth Rank Transcender.

All Transcenders stared in shock towards the direction from which the sword light had come, but saw only a patch of dissipating gray mist. That mysterious entity, having succeeded in a single strike, immediately fled far away, leaving not a trace behind.

"Who is it?!" the Abyss Demon Race’s Transcenders exclaimed in surprise and anger.

The target they couldn’t kill despite paying a huge price had been reaped for profit by someone else, and crucially, it was likely to arouse suspicion from other transcendent forces of Chaos Divine Land, pinning the blame on the Abyss.

At this moment, all observers felt a chill.

It was a Transcender, the strongest being in All Heavens Star Sea, yet fallen so easily?

To kill a Twelfth Rank being so cleanly, even when the opponent was already severely injured, was clearly beyond what ordinary Transcenders could achieve.

Torch highest group chat channel:

"The heavens are about to change."

Jiang Yuan’s voice sounded in the group chat, carrying palpable weight.

The fall of a Twelfth Rank Transcender signaled the impending break of the balance of power that had persisted in Chaos Divine Land for endless ages.

Why the mysterious assassin hiding in the shadows did this, what schemes it was plotting, they had no idea.

But one thing was certain.

Ten thousand years later, at the Heaven-Fighting Ruins event, more uncertainty would surely arise.

Originally, with the Chaos Demon Ape clan suppressing everything, despite numerous Peak Clans and Star Sea Dominator Civilizations, everything could at least be controlled within the Heavenly Ape Star Realm.

Now that Yan Ancestor had fallen, the Chaos Demon Ape clan dropped out of the transcendent forces category; although several Eleventh Rank Chaos Demon Apes stayed, they definitely couldn’t fend off prying eyes from other Star Realms.

It was foreseeable that after today, the entire Heavenly Ape Star Realm would become the focus of the entire Chaos Divine Land, and even mythical forces from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would likely want to get involved.

The Heavenly Ape Star Realm was about to enter the most chaotic period in its history.

Coming to this conclusion, the five people in the group chat exchanged looks, their eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

Human Emperor City was situated within the Heavenly Ape Star Realm.

Worse still, not only Torch Human Emperor City, but several Chaos Cities under the Wizard Civilization also lay within the Heavenly Ape Star Realm.

This meant it’s hard for the other side to support them much, as they faced immense pressure themselves.

"We must immediately strengthen the defense system of Human Emperor City." Ferdinand’s voice echoed in the group chat, carrying an undeniable resolution:

"Notify the stayed fleet to promptly use all stored Star Crystal Stones, including all top resources such as Eternal Stone Bricks and Chaos Stones, to fortify the city walls. If possible, strive to elevate the city defense Energy Level of Human Emperor City, though not to Eleventh Rank Level, at least to half-step Eleventh Rank!"

Song Chi’s fingers flew across the virtual console, pulling up the energy reserve data for Human Emperor City:

"The inventory of Star Crystal Stones remains at seven million eight hundred thousand units, over one trillion units of Eternal Stone Bricks, even more Chaos Stones, and about two thousand years left of staying on Origin Star, during which period forces should not take much action, it should be feasible."

Jiang Yuan: "These are secondary; the key lies in our own strength. Relying solely on me and Ji Heng is not enough, Ying Yi, Ferdinand, Song Chi, whichever of you has the confidence, must quickly go into retreat; we must have at least three Mythical Immortal Ships. With the Three Corpses Divine Shrine backing Human Emperor City, even if a Twelfth Rank Transcender personally attacks, we can withstand for a time."

Upon hearing this, Ji Heng nodded.

"That’s right, three Mythical Immortal Ships are the baseline; only then can we control a certain degree of autonomy!"

As he spoke, he and Jiang Yuan both directed their gaze at Song Chi and the other two, then added:

"Taking advantage of the once-in-a-million-year opportunity on Origin Star ending in two thousand years, decisions must be made promptly; retreat if necessary."

Song Chi and the other two exchanged glances.

They understood Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng’s intention and recognized the urgency of the current situation.

Soon, the trio had decided.

Ying Yi and Ferdinand spoke almost simultaneously:

"Greedy Wolf is too young; I’ll go!"

The two meant no offense, simply concerned that Song Chi, not even two thousand years old, might lack sufficient depth of accumulation.

Song Chi didn’t refute; lately, he indeed began preparing for Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to ascend as a Mythical Immortal Ship, gathering many resources, but in his plan, he was still some way off.

By comparison, Ying Yi and Ferdinand had lived over tens of thousands of years, backed by the entire Torch Empire, collecting various resources and preparing in ways he couldn’t match.

A brief silence fell over the group chat.

A moment later, Jiang Yuan spoke:

"Very well, Ying Yi and Ferdinand, you two then proceed together with two Time Chess Board components at hand; there’s no worry of trial-and-error costs, and with your preparations, even if one of you fails to ascend, there will be the other. At least..."

Jiang Yuan didn’t finish, but everyone understood his meaning; none voiced dissent.

Yet, there remained one last issue: the ascension to Mythical Immortal Ship requires the backing of Energy Tide from a Tenth Rank Star Continent to maximize the ascension chances.

One Star Continent’s energy tide naturally suffices for a Superdimensional Mother Ship’s ascension to Mythical Immortal Ship but might not suffice for two.

This meant two choices lay before them.

Fully sustain one Ninth Level Floating Land’s ascension to Star Continent or concurrently sustain two.
