Global Era of Star trekking - Chapter 1174 - 623: [Ruin Market Projection Strikes Again]

Chapter 1174: Chapter 623: [Ruin Market Projection Strikes Again]

Without any surprise, the Purple Cloud Thunder Punishment and the Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light fell almost simultaneously on the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body].

Song Chi narrowed his eyes, fully focusing on the battle below.

His spirit was tense, and if he sensed something was amiss, he would not hesitate to activate the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” and once again unleash a second Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light.

But his heart quickly tightened.

When the Purple Cloud Thunder Punishment and the Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light landed on the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body], a golden light suddenly flashed across its grey mist-covered surface, and ancient secret patterns appeared around it, instantly forming a circle of golden secret pattern light shield on its surface.

“A golden defensive strange object…”

Recognizing the origin of this golden secret pattern light shield at a glance, Song Chi’s expression remained calm, but his heart sank nonetheless.

Because high-level thunder attribute [Law Crystal] is extremely rare, and coupled with the last time he killed that Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body], he used an intermediate thunder attribute [Law Crystal], so this time is no exception.

But now there appeared an unknown golden defensive strange object, which was entirely different. Although a Seventh Rank Dominator holding a golden oddity could not fully exert its might, merely relying on the intermediate thunder attribute [Law Crystal] to activate the “Nine-layered Purple Cloud Destruction Tribulation Thunder” was clearly not enough to quickly kill the opponent.

Indeed, that was the case.

The first to exhaust its might was, naturally, the Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light, which only managed to wear away a tiny bit of the secret patterns on the golden secret pattern light shield before it completely dimmed.

In comparison, the power of Purple Cloud Thunder was significantly stronger.

Boom boom boom…

Successive strikes of Extreme Yang Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder fell, each more intense than the last, and with each strike, about one and a half of the secret patterns on the golden secret pattern light shield would be worn away. After seven layers of tribulation thunder, this golden secret pattern light shield was completely shattered. The subsequent eighth and ninth layers of tribulation thunder finally struck directly on the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body].

However, it was clear that these last two tribulation thunders alone were not enough to kill this Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body], and its injuries were not even too severe.

Seeing this, Song Chi’s mind raced.

At this moment, he had many attacks to follow up with.

For example, using the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature to unleash a second Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light.

Or letting the Mirror Image Warship perform a flash escape, then activating “Neutron Star Fission”.

For soul and spirit body species, which generally lean towards the yin attribute, the extremely high temperature and flames released during the conversion of a miniature neutron star could also cause significant damage to them.

Another option is to activate the second attack feature of the [Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon], the “Myriad Purple Cloud Thunder Prison”.

…

Yet, despite the many thoughts flashing through his mind, Song Chi quickly dismissed them one by one.

For no other reason, time did not permit.

The corner of his eye caught sight of the right side, and through the Mirror Image Warship’s holographic exterior, he could clearly see the gigantic shadow that had suddenly appeared above the vault of heaven tens of light-years away.

At a rough glance, the height of this shadow was likely not lower than ten light-years, and the power it exuded was astonishing. Even though it was separated by tens of light-years, Song Chi could still feel a vague sense of suffocation.

This gigantic shadow appeared just a moment ago, right around when the Mirror Image Warship officially launched its attack. If his guess was correct, this shadow was most likely an Eighth Rank level [Nightmare Soul Body], activated by the will of the source of the Nightmare Soul Continent, similar to a Dharma aspect.

Before he could think further, the giant shadow in the distance had already opened its mouth, and its terrifying arc resembled a medium-sized black hole. The next second, a screeching sound as if to shatter the void gushed from its mouth.

Song Chi’s reaction was not slow. Realizing that other methods might not be quick enough before the giant shadow was fully formed, he controlled the Ethereal Body to activate the [Ruins Market Projection Rank] in his hand.

This time, not only did he conceal his identity, but he also took the form of the Mirror Image Warship. Under this premise, he could naturally activate the [Ruins Market Projection Rank] without any concerns.

Soon, purple mist energy began to rapidly gather above the Mirror Image Warship, and the projection of the Universal Market was forming at an incredible speed.

Before the screeching sound wave from afar could reach, the projection of the Universal Market formed first. In the next second, a giant phantom hand extended from the purple mist projection.

Remarkably, this phantom hand seemed to move slowly, but in a blink, it was already hovering above the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body].

Although the projection of the market spanning the starry sky had only quasi-Eighth Rank combat power, it was already a mighty power that the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body] found difficult to resist with any willpower.

Without any surprise, the phantom hand, composed of energies from time, space, light, and purple mist, simply slapped down casually, completely erasing the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body] that was already somewhat wounded previously.

Woooo!

On the right, an overwhelming wave of sonic tides, vast like a torrent, swept over and instantly engulfed the entire Mirror Image Warship.

Even with the protection of the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens, Song Chi still felt an incessant shrieking sound penetrating into the warship, and then continuously transmitting into his mind.

Fortunately, with the dual reduction of the Ruin Market Projection and the absolute isolation feature of the warship itself, this shrieking sound was weakened by nearly eighty percent. Additionally, Song Chi, now in the Ruins Market, was empowered with Eighth Rank power and had the protection of [Dragon Whale Hall]. Apart from some dizziness, there was no other effect.

Suppressing the pain swelling in his mind, he forcefully controlled the Mirror Image Warship to swoop downward.

Soon, the warship successfully drew the remaining items left by the Seventh Rank [Nightmare Soul Body] into the cabin. This time, however, was somewhat different. Besides a Seventh Rank [Grey Crystal], there was also a Starry Sea Oddity emitting golden light, along with 5 strands of Chaos Qi.

Seeing this harvest, Song Chi was quite satisfied, deeming it worthwhile to risk the destruction of the Mirror Image Warship in action.

His gaze returned to the gigantic phantom on the right. In the brief moment the warship collected the spoils, it rapidly approached, covering a distance of several light-years in less than ten seconds, now less than a light-year away from the Mirror Image Warship.

However, at this moment, Song Chi showed no sign of worry, swiftly activating a Jump Component on the Mirror Image Warship with his Ethereal Body.

The reason for not using [Void Escape Orb], [Starry Sky Flash Spirit Stone Talisman], or [Angel Sovereign Wings] was that the Flash Escape distance was still too short to allow the Mirror Image Warship to pull far enough away to completely evade pursuit.

Swish!

Just before the jump charge could be completed, the unknown Eighth Rank [Nightmare Soul Body] seemed to discern Song Chi’s intention, and from its gigantic Dharma Aspect’s mouth, spat out yet another gray seal.

This gray seal flew at an extremely high speed, and Song Chi suspected it might be aided by special Spatial Energy, as it instantaneously crossed nearly a light-year to directly strike the right side of the Mirror Image Warship’s hull.

This seal bypassed the multiple layers of the warship’s Energy Shields, directly impacting the Mirror Image Warship’s hull.

From the outside, one would notice this gray light seal was actually an ancient [Suppress] character. Upon contacting the Mirror Image Warship’s hull, Song Chi quickly discovered that the warship’s nearly complete jump charge was forcibly interrupted.

He then tried activating the [Void Escape Orb], [Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman], and [Angel Sovereign Wings] components with his Ethereal Body in a trial attempt to escape using Flash Escape, but ultimately all ended in failure.

Although the three components activated one by one, the Mirror Image Warship itself remained stationary, unmoving.

In that fleeting moment, the giant Dharma Aspect phantom on the right closed in significantly, now less than ten million kilometers away from the Mirror Image Warship.

At this point, a wave finally rose in Song Chi’s heart, shattering his previous composure.

After all, that was a true Eighth Rank entity, supplemented by the will of the Floating Land’s origin. Engaging such a force directly, even with the support of the Ruins Market Projection—a quasi-Eighth Rank method—couldn’t last long.

Song Chi recalled a component, one he had used not long ago.

[Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman]!

But this time, he did not utilize the [Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman]’s ordinary Flash Escape capability; instead, he activated its “Starlight Flash Spirit Escape” feature.

{Starlight Flash Spirit Escape: Consumes 600,000 Spectral Energy Points, enabling the user to ignore effects like Spatial Blockade, Warship Binding, Forbidden Magic Domain, and Time Freeze to Flash Escape in a designated direction, with a current maximum Flash Escape distance of 1 light-year and a fixed cooldown time of 50 years.}

This feature allowed for ignoring various control effects like Spatial Blockade, and intuition told him the Eighth Rank [Nightmare Soul Body]’s unknown sealing ability was likely included.

In the distance, the gigantic Dharma Aspect phantom raced forward, traversing considerable distances in each blink, stepping again this time to appear directly before the Mirror Image Warship.

The atmospheric Dharma Aspect hand slammed down with tremendous force, raising winds strong enough to topple even the weakest Seventh Rank Dominator.

As the hand pressed down, spatial rifts, spatial collapses, and other phenomena accompanied its descent.

One could imagine that if this illusory hand struck the Mirror Image Warship, even with its dual-layer Energy and Armor, both of Gold Quality luxury build, survival would be impossible.

However, just as the Dharma Aspect hand was about to contact the Mirror Image Warship, the warship, previously bound by the [Suppress] seal, suddenly vanished, leaving behind only a faint spatial fluctuation.

Outside the Nightmare Soul Continent, the Mirror Image Warship reappeared in the Silent Stellar Space.

Confirming the Mirror Image Warship’s successful escape from danger, the hovering Ruins Market Projection above the warship slowly dissipated.

However, this didn’t mean Song Chi was entirely at ease, for to Eighth Rank creatures, if they wished, they could easily escape the Floating Land, and the current distance was far from safe.

Thus, Song Chi activated the [Red Vault Jump Device] once more, and only after the warship made two consecutive jumps of tens of thousands of light-years did he feel completely at ease.
