Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1678: Chapter 822: [Fallen God Sea] 2

With every inhale, visible streams of spectral energy surged through his nostrils; with each exhale, impurities embedded within his body were expelled.

"Let’s begin."

He held the Dragon Essence Crystal with his right hand, and crushed the Illusion Demon Seed with his left.

At the instant the purple mist exploded, the temperature in the cultivation room plummeted, frost crystals formed densely on the ground, and the energy fields generated by the two top-level resources intertwined, forming a three-meter diameter energy field around Song Chi.

The Illusion Demon Seed took effect first, with countless purple light points permeating his skin, forming a microscopic stimulation network at the nerve endings.

Song Chi felt his thought processes suddenly accelerate a hundred times over, all the vague comprehensions from past cultivation became clear now.

Numerous energy nodes of the Ninth Rank Guidance Technique lit up sequentially in the sea of consciousness, forming a complete human star chart.

"So it was the conversion efficiency of the twelfth spinal node that was blocking me..."

Song Chi suddenly realized, in the hyperfrequency state and the analysis of the Illusion Realm brought by the Illusion Demon Seed, he clearly saw the details he had overlooked in his past cultivation - every time energy flowed through the mid-section of the spine, there would always be a slight delay. This tiny flaw formed an insurmountable bottleneck over time.

The Dragon Essence Crystal began to melt, with golden liquid spreading along his palm’s meridians, sketching complex patterns beneath the skin.

The violent energy unique to the Western Dragon Species would have instantly destroyed his meridians, but with the regulation of the Illusion Demon Seed, coupled with his own Eighth Rank Extreme physique, the energy became docile and controllable.

Song Chi guided the Dragon Origin upward along the spine, precisely flushing the stubborn energy node.

The monitoring instruments in the cultivation room emitted a sharp alarm, as the energy readings broke through the Ninth Rank threshold, liquid spectral energy was ionized into plasma state, and the surface of Song Chi’s skin revealed dragon scale-like energy armor—this marked the beginning of the fusion between the Dragon Essence Crystal and the flesh.

"Still not enough..."

Song Chi suddenly raised his hand, gulping down heavenly star body refining liquid mixed with over a hundred thousand years of Deep Water Clam Pearl powder, and even the last remaining Home Spirit Fruit was swallowed in one gulp, quickly igniting fierce energy that soared in his lower abdomen, causing the Dragon Origin that was about to calm down to boil again.

His spine emitted a crisp crackle, and the stubborn node was finally breached, all energy nodes within the body linked into a perfect closed loop. A pale golden mist sprayed out from every pore of Song Chi’s body, which was the residual material purified from the Dragon Essence Crystal, now expelled by the newly formed Ninth Rank Guidance Technique system.

The cultivation room suddenly plunged into absolute darkness, all monitoring devices simultaneously malfunctioned, signifying a localized law disturbance induced by an individual’s life hierarchy leap.

Three seconds later, when the light was restored, Song Chi was already standing in the center of the cultivation room.

He simply clenched his fist, the air was squeezed to produce a sonic boom. No instrument was needed to detect it, the transformation at the cellular level was distinctly perceptible—the density of muscle fibers had increased, the bones turning faintly golden after advancing to the Ninth Rank, and even the tiniest capillaries could carry the vigorous spectral energy, belonging to a truly Ninth Rank life hierarchy.

Song Chi felt the inexhaustible power contained within his body, an incredibly excellent feeling, even though this was already the ninth life sublimation, every time he experienced it anew, he found it captivating.

His gaze shifted, sweeping across every corner of the cultivation room, he seemed to vaguely perceive the varying energy concentrations in the room, a perceptual leap brought about by the breakthrough in Guidance Technique.

Stepping out of the cultivation room, outside was the Zhu Tian Ruins Market that had already ascended to the Ninth Rank. With the vision of a Ninth Rank, he could see the abundant Origin Law traces and rich energy permeating Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

"This is the world of the Ninth Rank..."

Song Chi raised his right hand, condensing a wisp of spectral energy at his fingertips.

Unlike the Eighth Rank, the spectral energy now became more solid, with the same size of energy flow, the destructive power contained within presented an essential difference.

This marked the completion of a further evolutionary energy transformation.

With a flick of his finger, the spectral energy transformed into an energy arrow shooting into the wall, soon followed by a muffled explosion.

With the power granted by Mythical Status, he casually erased the impact of the explosion, then opened his personal terminal, showing twenty-seven unread messages.

The latest one was from Emperor Jiang, containing only a brief line:

"See you at Human Emperor City!"

...

Space rippled, and Song Chi’s figure emerged from the folded state, stepping onto a giant platform spanning across the Star River, with faint flickers of chaos energy coursing through, keeping it consistently filled with energy.

Leaving the [Chaos Transmission Platform], Song Chi headed straight to the Human Emperor Hall.

Deep within the hall, four thrones representing the highest power of the Torch Civilization were suspended, with three figures already seated in their respective positions.

Emperor Jiang sat on the Purple Crystal Throne, with the Great Dao Rule Crown slowly rotating behind him; Emperor Ying on the Golden Light Throne, with the mighty gold figure’s phantom faintly appearing around him; the Holy Emperor Ferdinand’s Light Throne released a holy light phantom.

When Song Chi arrived, the fourth originally dim silver-gray throne suddenly lit up with starlight-like brilliance.

"Seems you succeeded." Emperor Jiang’s gaze swept past Song Chi’s faint golden knuckles: "At least a century earlier than I anticipated."

Song Chi saluted the three, leaving shallow energy imprints on the star gold ground with each step, a sign of just breaking through yet unable to fully retract his power.

Seeing this, the three Human Emperors smiled slightly and said nothing, then suddenly, Emperor Jiang raised his hand, spreading out a holographic star chart with a diameter of a thousand meters.

Against the distorted, deformed starry sky background, a gray sea slowly expanded, with chaotic land continuously engulfed and disintegrated at the edges.

In this star chart, seven red-glowing regions were particularly striking, with three currently emitting the unique blue ripples of superbrain storms.

"The latest situation in Fallen God Sea." Emperor Jiang pointed to one of the red areas with the most dense blue ripples, "Titan Clan controlled zone, guarded by ’King of Heaven-shaking’ Gore, an Eleventh Rank Mythical Titan."

Saying this, he quickly pointed to another high-ripple density area.

"Chaos Demon Ape controlled zone, guarded by ’Skull Shatterer’ Golden Ape, an Eleventh Rank Monkey God."

Song Chi’s pupils slightly contracted; although he had anticipated facing myth-level existences, truly seeing the markings still induced suffocating pressure.

Not to mention the presence of two Eleventh Rank Mythical Creatures.

His gaze swept over several green points at the edge of the star chart: "And these?"

"Allies and potential allies." Emperor Jiang magnified one, displaying a skull emblem entwined with green flames.

"Wizard Civilization ’Skeleton Tower’, under the direct jurisdiction of Rule Wizard ’Black Bone’ from the Wizard Civilization."

At this moment, the star chart suddenly flickered violently, a black area spreading out from the core.

The golden figure’s phantom behind Emperor Ying flickered intensely: "Another Destruction Level superbrain storm, and thirty standard years earlier this time."

Upon hearing this, Holy Emperor Ferdinand spoke solemnly:

"Because someone is attempting to retrieve ’that thing’."

The holy light behind him flickered unsteadily: "The Nether Soul Clan of Chaos Divine Land, it’s rumored they’ve found the exact coordinates of a Transcender’s remains."

Jiang Yuan responded with a cold laugh.

"Just them?"

"Though the Nether Soul Clan is one of the peak races of Chaos Divine Land, their strength isn’t particularly formidable, only controlling one top-level Chaos City. Even if they are naturally resistant to superbrain storms with their soul thought path, just relying on two ordinary Tenth Rank combat strengths, they want to enter the deepest part of the [Fallen God Sea]?"

"But if not them, why would this Destruction Level superbrain storm occur earlier..."

Holy Emperor Ferdinand wanted to inquire further, but Jiang Yuan quickly interrupted him.

"These aren’t important, what we must do now is to find a way to reach into this [Fallen God Sea]."

"Just the eruption of this Destruction Level superbrain storm is bound to cause a large number of mythical souls to be blown out from the core area. If we can intervene, regardless of the territory we manage to claim, there will certainly be substantial gains."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi and the others nodded, understanding the meaning behind Jiang Yuan’s words.

However, the challenge was that aside from the Wizard Civilization presenting some opportunity, how could other forces allow them to intervene so easily?

"Perhaps we could start with the Mechanical Sect!"

"The Mechanical Sect, Jiang Yuan, you’re referring to the [Creation Mechanical Civilization]?"

Upon hearing this, information related to the [Creation Mechanical Civilization] swiftly emerged in Song Chi’s mind.

The Creation Mechanical Civilization, one of the top ten Overlord Level Civilizations in the Shattered Starry Sea recorded by the Torch Civilization, also the only Mechanical Race Civilization among the top ten Overlord Civilizations.

Its ranking among the ten Overlord Civilizations isn’t particularly high, at least not better than wizards, angels, and the Shi Clan, but stronger than the Tri-Eye Race and the Rakshasa Clan.
