Chapter 725: Mythic Mirror
Chapter 725: Mythic Mirror
Even the hastily formed barrier displayed terrifying defensive power, at least for beings below the Mythic rank.
The blood barrier, infused with the potent power of an evil deity, fiercely resisted the void-breaking force emitted from the Floating Land Shield. The barrier's surface rippled violently upon contact.
This void-breaking force, triggered by the Voidbreaker Staff, a relic of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons' mythic legacy, was far from simple. The Blood Fiend’s blood barrier was indeed formidable, but after a moment of stalemate, it was suddenly torn apart.
The void-breaking force surged forward, accurately penetrating the Blood Fiend's bloated body.
Inside the Floating Land Shield, the Ninth Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, witnessing this, felt a surge of joy. The ghostly image of the staff above their heads began to tremble violently.
The more the staff's image trembled, the more the Blood Fiend’s blood power raged, as if some uncontrollable force within it was trying to break free.
At one moment, a massive surge of void power erupted from its body, forcibly tearing the space behind it. A colossal spatial rift appeared, clinging to its back.
As time passed, the diameter of this spatial rift continued to expand, soon surpassing the Blood Fiend’s size. Most crucially, despite the Blood Fiend’s resistance, the void power continuously gushing from its body was pulling it into the rift.
From a distance, high-tier Ember Civilization starships opened fire, targeting the spatial rift to prevent its expansion. However, a spatial rift that even the Blood Fiend couldn't influence was not easily destroyed.
Time passed, and in a mere few breaths, the Blood Fiend’s bloated body was already halfway swallowed by the spatial rift.
Seeing the astonishing effect of the Voidbreaker Staff, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons inside the Floating Land Shield were naturally elated and continued their attacks.
Although the Blood Fiend’s banishment into the void seemed irreversible, they were well aware of the Ember Civilization’s high-tier captains, who possessed countless peculiar skills. What they believed to be an unchangeable outcome could still be uncertain until fully confirmed.
Thus, before the Blood Fiend was completely banished, they must do their utmost to prevent the Ember Civilization’s captains from acting.
In fact, the three hyperspace admirals reacted even more swiftly.
When the unfamiliar void power first appeared around the Blood Fiend, its summoner, Peyton Aclamont, wasted no time in giving the command.
"Move!"
Upon hearing this, the other two immediately responded.
In the main control room of the Divine Summer Jili, the flagship among the three Transdimensional Flagships, Emperor Jiang’s eyes suddenly shifted.
His gaze was deep, as if stars hung in his eyes, and his gaze seemed to contain the evolution of the primordial universe.
As his deep gaze focused on a certain component of the Divine Summer Jili, this component, shimmering with a rainbow hue, suddenly activated.
Void Reflecting Mirror · "Mythic Mirror"!
The activation of this upper-tier component soon released a beam of multicolored light from the Divine Summer Jili.
Near the Demon God Floating Land’s shield, as the spatial rift completely engulfed the Blood Fiend, the unknown void rift stopped expanding and began to rapidly contract.
Even though occasional surges of blood power emerged from the depths of the rift, they could not prevent its reformation, only slowing the process slightly.
Just before the rift was fully repaired, the multicolored beam from the Divine Summer Jili shot forward, and upon penetrating the rift’s depths, the void rift was completely restored.
In the communication channel shared by the three Transdimensional Flagships, as Emperor Jiang nodded lightly, Peyton Aclamont let out a deep sigh of relief and then severed the summoning of the Pantheon Map.
The Pantheon Map was indeed formidable, capable of sealing eight Mythic beings on its own. However, summoning the gods within the Pantheon Map for assistance came with a heavy price, which Peyton Aclamont had to bear alone.
Despite being one of the four Emperors of the Ember Civilization, possessing near-Mythic combat strength, he was not a true Mythic being. The backlash from a Mythic being’s power was perilous for a mortal to endure.
Emperor Jiang’s nod meant he could terminate the summoning of the Blood Fiend.
Above the Transdimensional Flagship Heavenly Radiance, the rainbow-hued image of the Pantheon Map gradually dissipated. Without the Pantheon Map’s projection to sustain it, the void, though closed, continued to tremble under the Blood Fiend’s struggles deep within.
A Mythic being, even when banished into the void by a peer, would not lose the ability to resist. Given time, it would soon break free.
However, with Peyton’s active revocation of the Pantheon Map’s projection, the Blood Fiend, deprived of its source, disintegrated on its own, posing no further threat.
However, just as the surrounding Captains were puzzled, another faint spatial ripple emerged from the starry sky.
When Song Chi turned his Doubled Pupils to look, he was startled to see a second blood-colored figure silently appearing in the starry expanse.
Flat head, bloated body, blood-colored tentacles—just by appearance, this figure was indeed identical to the Blood Fiend. But with the probing power of his seventh-rank Doubled Pupils, Song Chi could detect a subtle difference.
Compared to the previous Blood Fiend, this one, while equally formidable, lacked the vivid, lifelike quality.
Where the previous Blood Fiend still exhibited some characteristics of a living being, this "Blood Fiend" was nothing more than a hollow, lifeless shell.
"Clone? Mirror image? Or a puppet?"
No one knew what Song Chi was thinking at that moment. Although a few Captains sensed something odd, their attention was quickly diverted.
The "Blood Fiend" that had already been replaced now moved again, but only a few knew that control of this "Blood Fiend" had shifted to Emperor Jiang.
Without the pressure that Peyton Aclamont had previously exerted, Emperor Jiang’s control was much more relaxed and effortless.
This was the difference between using oneself as a summoning medium and using a Flame-Ember component as a control medium.
With the Flame-Ember Starship as the medium, this mirrored Blood Fiend would not exert any suppression on the Divine Summer Jili or Emperor Jiang.
Returning to the vicinity of the Demon God Floating Land’s shield, the mirrored Blood Fiend once again targeted the weakest area.
Without the specific means of spatial exile, the mirrored Blood Fiend successfully created a small fissure in the Demon God Floating Land’s shield.
With the mirrored Blood Fiend as support, three Transdimensional Flagships, dozens of Galactic Ships, and tens of thousands of Annihilator Ships entered the Demon God Floating Land.
Without the obstruction of the evil god Floating Land’s shield, the Flame-Ember Starships could now directly attack the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons inside the Floating Land, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.
In the sky above the Floating Land, a disguised Sky Ruins silently hovered in a corner of one of the fleets that had just entered the Floating Land’s shield.
Song Chi did not act rashly. From any perspective, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, with ten Ninth-Rank powers and the support of the Floating Land’s core will, held a significant advantage.
Just the peak forces alone revealed a huge gap between the two sides.
Speaking of Ninth-Rank powers, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons had ten, all augmented by the Demon God Floating Land’s core will. In contrast, their side only had three Transdimensional Flagships.
Even if the three Emperors’ flagships were extremely powerful and could handle two or even three opponents under the suppression of a peak Ninth-Rank Floating Land’s core will, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons still had one more.
And that one wasn’t just any ordinary Ninth-Rank Sovereign; it was a super combat unit whose power, augmented by the core will, reached the peak and even the limit of the Ninth Rank. Such a force was enough to influence the entire battle.
As for their side’s Galactic Ship commanders?
There were over a hundred Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, with at least five of them, augmented by the Demon God Floating Land’s core will, already possessing Ninth-Rank power. Under these circumstances, the Galactic Ship commanders were already struggling to hold their own, let alone trying to contain a Ninth-Rank Limit Serpent Demon Sovereign.
Realizing this, Song Chi felt the situation was not looking good. Therefore, at his suggestion, the Song Family members did not act rashly.
However, it was clear he had overestimated the situation. Since the three Emperors had led the elite fleet across billions of light-years, they would not commit such a low-level mistake.
The three Transdimensional Flagships that first rushed into the Floating Land’s interior began to tremble, accompanied by spatial ripples.
"Are they summoning Ship Clones?"
Having performed the same operation multiple times, Song Chi and his three companions exchanged glances and instantly understood.
Only now did the four of them realize the truth.
Or perhaps they had been so preoccupied with their own concerns that they had overlooked this simplest of points.
High-rank Ship Clone components were indeed rare, but as the highest-ranking figures in the Ember Human Civilization, their flagships were equipped with the best of all the wonders controlled by the Ember Flame Civilization. It would be unusual for other Ember Captains not to have high-rank Ship Clone components, but how could the three Transdimensional Flagships be without them?
What impressed Song Chi even more was that the three Transdimensional Flagships not only possessed high-rank Ship Clone components but had more than one each. With a series of spatial fluctuations, two additional Transdimensional Flagship clones appeared on either side of each of the three flagships.
In total, six Transdimensional Flagship clones joined the three original flagships, bringing the number of Transdimensional Flagships hovering above the Demon God Floating Land to nine.
After summoning their clones, the three original Transdimensional Flagships charged forward, each engaging two Ninth Rank Serpent Demon Overlords. Soon after, four more clones from the six emerged to entangle the remaining four Ninth Rank Serpent Demon Overlords. The remaining two clones turned their hulls and dashed toward the Eighth Rank battlefield, where the Song Family forces were at a significant disadvantage.
The arrival of the two Transdimensional Flagship clones immediately alleviated the pressure on the more than thirty Galactic Ships, as the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons had to dispatch over forty Eighth Rank Serpent Demons to counter the clones. This finally brought the peak battlefield to a precarious balance.
Seeing this, Song Chi no longer hesitated. He exchanged a glance with Song Wujian and the others, and the four Song Family Annihilator Ships summoned their Ship Clones one after another.
Unlike the main fleet of Flame-Ember Starships waiting to enter the battlefield, the four Ship Clones had no such concerns. As soon as they were summoned, they were controlled by the four individuals and charged straight toward the Eighth Rank battlefield.
Song Chi and his companions were well aware that, given the Song Family's resources, they couldn't just participate in the competition for a few Mythical Artifacts through normal means. Killing Seventh Rank Serpent Demons wouldn't be enough; they needed to focus on the hundred Eighth Rank Serpent Demon Overlords.
As they flew, golden threads of law emerged from the hulls of the four warships, indicating that the Four Symbols Wheel Seal components were being activated.
Once the Four Symbols Wheel Seal components were fully activated, the four Ship Clones were surrounded by the shadowy forms of divine beasts, and the aura emanating from the warships increased significantly.
But it didn't stop there. The replicated Blessing of the Mermaid Queen component also activated, and under the Deep Sea Link characteristic, the warships' combat power, firepower, defense, and speed all increased by 200%.
At the edge of the Eighth Rank battlefield, a Galactic Ship was engaged in battle with two Eighth Rank Serpent Demon Overlords.
The two Eighth Rank Serpent Demon Overlords unleashed their snake magic manifestations, and sixteen illusory arms struck the Galactic Ship's hull, sending it flying back millions of kilometers. The ship's energy shields and armor were severely damaged.
At this moment, a communication request appeared in the ship's main control room.
The Galactic Ship captain, from the Aok Dynasty, immediately accepted the call. He had already sensed that four Annihilator Ships were approaching, and although he didn't have much hope, the situation was dire, and it was better to try than to wait for certain death.
As soon as the communication connected, Song Chi's voice came through.
"Lord Dylan, can you control the Eighth Rank Serpent Demon Overlord on the left for two seconds? My name is Song Chi, a member of the Seven Stars of the North and the Qin Immortal King of the Cosmos. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Dylan Aok was initially stunned, but he quickly caught the most crucial three words in Song Chi's message.
"Qin Immortal King of the Cosmos"
As the elder of the Aok Royal Family, one of the four direct vassals of the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty, the Galactic Ship captain had always been eager to make it onto the Qin Immortal Starship King List. He had been closely following every edition of the King List, and the name "Qin Immortal King of the Cosmos", who had ranked 39th, had left a deep impression on him. He knew all too well the prestige and value of the Qin Immortal Starship King List.
Without much hesitation, Dylan Aok quickly nodded and said, "Alright!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a black light flashed within the Galactic Ship. In the next second, a chain of white bones shot out from the void near the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign on the left front.
This bone chain was clearly extraordinary. It precisely entangled the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon, and no matter how much the demon struggled, it only produced a series of cracking sounds, never breaking free.
Seizing this opportunity, the four Annihilator Ship avatars, which had already completed their cannon charges, suddenly opened fire.
Three black star-annihilating cannons and one golden star-annihilating cannon, combined with the extremely high firepower damage and the "Mark of the God of Hunting's Weakness" that Song Chi had pre-emptively cast, made this attack far more powerful than imagined.
The Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign's body erupted with violent explosions, blood spraying profusely, and eventually, a micro-black hole erupted right next to it.
However, despite the astonishing attack, the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign, bolstered by the will of the Demon God Floating Land and with a physique nearing the peak of the eighth rank, managed to survive the terrifying assault.
Seeing this, Song Chi, who had already ended the communication and teleported back to the main body of the Sky Ruins, had to return to the mirror battleship. His sole purpose was to hunt down the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign, and he could not let this opportunity slip away.
Moreover, the Aok Dynasty's Galactic Ship captain was not someone he was particularly familiar with, so he acted decisively.
Appearing inside the mirror battleship, the light in his brow flickered intensely. In the next second, a tricolor glow emerged from the top of the mirror battleship.
Hiss!
With a roar, the tricolor Swallowing Sky Python shadow, just formed, charged at the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign, who was already at the end of its strength.
Now that the Dragon Spine Continent had reached the eighth-level Floating Land, it could unleash about 80% of the power of the "Swallowing Sky Python Shed", a lower-level wonder. Consequently, the outcome for the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign was inevitable, and it ultimately lost all signs of life.
After delivering the final blow, Song Chi and his three companions did not linger.
If they were to target the other Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereign, the Galactic Ship captain of the Aok Dynasty might have objections.
When they were fighting one-on-two, their intervention could be seen as support, but now, if they were to attack again, it would look like they were stealing the kill.
Since there were still many Eighth-Rank Serpent Demons on the battlefield, they could simply choose a different target.
Next, the four Annihilator Ship avatars changed their targets, both to alleviate the pressure on the Galactic Ship captains and to focus on killing the Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon Sovereigns.
While the strategy remained the same, the methods of execution varied greatly.
The four Annihilator Ship avatars were not omnipotent. Their star-annihilating cannons had corresponding cooldowns, so even with the augmentation from components like the "Four Symbols Wheel Seal" and the "Blessing of the Mermaid Queen", the task was far from easy.
Eighth-Rank Sovereigns were not ordinary foes. Even if they stood still and let the Annihilator Ships attack, it would be difficult to kill them without some trump cards, let alone the fact that these Eighth-Rank Serpent Demons were bolstered by the will of the peak Ninth-Rank Floating Land, making the task even more challenging.
In the end, Song Chi and his companions had to continuously use various trump cards to achieve the difficult kills.
These included the "Neutron Star Fission" from the "Neutron Star Core Armor" and the "Gamma Ray Burst" from the temporarily evolved version.
The "Black Hole Fission" from the "Black Hole Armor" on the Blazing Sea Cooker.
And the "Starship Fury" from the Immovable Guardian.
Some of these kills were attributed to the ancestors, but the merits could still be transferred to Song Chi, so it did not affect the overall outcome.
