Chapter 727: The Mythic Battle
Chapter 727: The Mythic Battle
"The Tricorporeal Overstate Mech, are the three emperors going to give it their all?"
"What on earth is that? A single finger is terrifying enough; how terrifying must its true form be?"
"If my guess is correct, it should be the Octoarchon, the supreme demon from the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon clan, a mighty demon from the Abyss!"
"A demon?"
In the group chat, a Captain raised his head to glance at the shield above the Floating Continent.
The Bloodspawn, which had been mirrored by the Shenxia Jiu Li, was still using its tentacles to pry open the shield's crack, allowing lower-tier Flame-Ember Starships to flood into the Demon God Floating Continent. The Bloodspawn itself was also trying to squeeze into the Floating Continent.
Although the Bloodspawn's strength was astonishing, it still couldn't compare to the finger that had reached across the vast void.
One was an evil god, the other a demon. Both were mythic beings, yet why was there such a huge difference in power?
The Captain who had explained earlier seemed to have noticed everyone's confusion and continued:
"According to historical records, the Octoarchon has been a well-known demon in the Abyss for ages. No one knows how long it has been a mythic being, but the Star Sea civilizations generally agree that even among mythic beings, the Octoarchon is far from ordinary."
"In comparison, the Bloodspawn is far inferior. It merely managed to ascend to the mythic level through its divine bloodline, and due to its corruption and pollution, it was sealed by the Lord of Blood immediately after ascending. It is one of the weakest mythic beings."
"Also, don't forget that although Emperor Peyton summoned the Bloodspawn using a large amount of high-tier source blood, there was no mythic blood involved. The Bloodspawn summoned is not in its strongest state!"
Hearing this explanation, the Captains were enlightened.
But the thunderous explosion in the distant sky soon drew their attention.
The terrifying light beam generated by the Heavenly Radiance collided with the black finger extending from the storm vortex. A violent explosion centered at their point of contact, with the shockwave spreading outward.
At this moment, the half-step tenth-tier energy storm nearly enveloped half of the Demon God Floating Continent's sky.
Even with the ultra-high spatial stability of a peak ninth-tier Floating Continent, numerous spatial cracks began to form.
Everyone had expected that this half-step mythic attack, which likely carried the dominant attribute of a true attack, would at least cause some damage to the black finger. However, when the energy storm dissipated, the result left all the Ember Captains pale.
"How is this possible? A half-step mythic attack, likely with the attribute of a true attack, couldn't even scratch the evil god's finger that reached across the vast void?"
In the group chat, the Captains' voices trembled.
However, the extension of the evil god's finger had indeed slowed down, giving the three super-dimensional flagships enough time to merge.
For Song Chi and the other Flame-Ember Starships far below, they only saw the three super-dimensional mechs, transformed into mythic mech forms, rapidly changing their components. A blinding rainbow light enveloped them, and when the light faded, only one super mech giant remained in the sky.
This super mech giant stood nearly a billion kilometers tall, with numerous special law threads surrounding its body.
Song Chi didn't know what these special laws were, but his gaze was fixed on the mech giant's shoulders and head.
Spatial energy flowed around the mech giant, most intensely around its shoulders and head. Three terrifying dimensional vortices hung above, continuously releasing special spatial energy, which was then channeled into the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech.
Just as Song Chi was puzzled about what these three giant, black-hole-like dimensional vortices were, a Captain in the group chat soon explained.
"The Tricorporeal Spirit Realms. You can imagine these three black-hole-like dimensional vortices as three small worlds. Carrying two small worlds on its shoulders and one large world on its head, the boundless world's power is what allows the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech to face mythic beings. This is the most representative mythic technique of our Ember Human Civilization!"
"Whether it's the Emperor City in the Primordial Divine Land, the frontlines against the Star Sea insectoids, or the Abyss's Flame Territory, the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech has been deployed multiple times. It is the guarantee that our Ember Flame Civilization can maintain its basic rights in the face of Sovereign Civilizations and peak races."
...
"Ji Lie, Tan Lang, Pei Can, Emir... you guys take the lead!"
In the Galactic Ship dedicated group chat, Peyton's voice suddenly rang out.
The next second, the Galactic Ship captains mentioned didn't hesitate. Their engines roared as they quickly headed toward the ninth-tier battlefield above.
The departure of the three super-dimensional flagships immediately threw the ninth-tier battlefield out of balance, forcing a few Galactic Ships to step up.
The Galactic Ship captains mentioned were all among the top in the four empires, with the weakest having achieved their Galactic Ship status over ten thousand years ago. Their ships were all renowned Ultimate Galactic Ships.
Everyone understood the significance of this battle and was willing to give their all. Thus, despite the obvious danger, they didn't hesitate.
The key point was that Song Chi, along with several Galactic Ship captains of formidable strength, were throwing their full might into the battle.
The successive deaths of multiple Eighth-Rank Serpent Demon overlords, including one with Ninth-Rank combat power, significantly alleviated the pressure on the Ember Flame Civilization. Even if the strongest few Galactic Ships were dispatched to the Ninth-Rank battlefield, they could still maintain the balance on the Eighth-Rank battlefield.
These changes in the Eighth-Rank and Ninth-Rank battlefields might be of great concern to the Annihilator Ships and lower-ranked Ember Captains, but to the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon that had crossed the vast expanse of the Abyss, they were of no interest.
At this moment, the only things that could pique its interest were the three super-dimensional flagships transformed into the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giants and the mirror image of the Bloodspawn outside the Floating Continent's shield.
The Bloodspawn was currently held back by the Floating Continent's shield, so its focus naturally shifted to the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giants.
After casually shattering an annihilation beam with its finger, the Serpent Demon's finger darted straight toward the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giant.
A special force that transcended the laws of nature followed closely, easily tearing through the void of the Demon God Floating Continent. The finger extended at an incredible speed and soon collided with the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giant, who wielded a rainbow-colored ship-cleaving blade.
The rainbow blade slashed through, and even though the Serpent Demon's finger was enveloped in a thick layer of chaotic primordial energy, it was still cut cleanly. The cold blade struck the black finger, instantly leaving a massive wound.
"Kun Fa Wu!"
As the rainbow blade sliced through, a chaotic sound echoed from the depths of the storm corridor, the angry rebuke of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon behind the spatial channel.
Clearly, being wounded by three Ninth-Rank beings had enraged it.
As for the special fusion of the three super-dimensional flagships, it was largely ignored. In the eyes of this great Serpent Demon, who had ascended to godhood eons ago, Ninth-Rank beings were just Ninth-Rank beings. Since its ascension, no Ninth-Rank being had ever truly injured its divine form.
This time was an exception.
The long-forgotten pain stirred the Serpent Demon's deep-seated violent nature.
The chaotic primordial energy spread wildly, and the massive wound on the Serpent Demon's finger began to heal rapidly. Chains of chaotic primordial energy emerged from the void, converging on the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giant.
The Tricorporeal Overstate Mech didn't react slowly. Sensing the locking of the primordial chains, the mech's head released a surge of world power, forming a world domain around it.
Once inside the world domain, the numerous chains of chaotic primordial energy slowed significantly, giving the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech ample room to maneuver.
Additionally, the mech itself inherited the Heavenly Radiance's extreme speed. With several flashes, it easily dodged the dense chains and approached the Serpent Demon's finger once more.
However, before the rainbow blade could strike again, the Serpent Demon's finger erupted with another burst of chaotic energy.
Even with the "Bond of Enslavement: Rage" aura, the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech was momentarily thrown into chaos by this pure, intense chaotic energy.
Seizing this opportunity, the Serpent Demon's finger pointed out, and a sharp drill formed at the tip, crashing into the mech's body.
Although the three human emperors inside the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech quickly regained control and pulled away, the noticeable dent in the mech's chest was undeniable.
The damage might not have been severe, but the mech was clearly at a disadvantage.
...
In the main control room of the Skyvoid Expanse, Song Chi, who was fully activating the Double Pupil, was rapidly considering his options.
It was clear to anyone that the Tricorporeal Overstate Mech giant was at a disadvantage. If this continued, the balance of the battlefield would inevitably shift.
"Something has to be done!"
As his thoughts raced, he suddenly looked up, his gaze following the crack in the shield to the Bloodspawn outside the Floating Continent.
The only thing that could influence the outcome of the mythic battlefield at this moment was the Bloodspawn.
"Just an Eighth-Rank Peak Asura Emperor!"
The engines roared, and the next second, the Skyvoid Expanse vanished.
In the depths of the Demon God Floating Continent's sky, the Skyvoid Expanse suddenly reappeared.
Swoosh!
The ship's hatch burst open, and a miniature form of the Asura Emperor rushed out, rapidly expanding in size.
One thousand kilometers.
Ten thousand kilometers.
One hundred thousand kilometers.
...
In the blink of an eye, the Asura Emperor's body had expanded to a million kilometers, but it didn't stop there. Blood-colored steam surged around it as it continued to grow.
At one point, the Asura Emperor's height reached nearly a hundred million kilometers before the expansion finally slowed.
At this point, the aura emanating from the Asura Emperor had barely reached the Ninth-Rank level.
Using the "Bond of Enslavement: Rage" to achieve this, Song Chi issued the next command.
The Asura Emperor, now possessing preliminary Ninth-Rank combat power, soared upward toward the crack in the sky.
The closer it got to the crack, the more intense the evil deity's radiation became.
Unlike the mid and low-rank Flame-Ember Starships, which were protected by high-level isolation components provided by the Chiyu Divine Empire's royal family and the Flame-Ember Starship's absolute isolation, the Asura Emperor had to resist the radiation with its physical form.
Fortunately, before this, Song Chi had equipped the Asura Emperor with a golden-quality Plasma Guardian, adding a layer of plasma shield. As long as the plasma shield held, it could offset half of the radiation effects.
Flying close to the fissure, the Asura Emperor, following Song Chi's command, clung tightly to both ends of the fissure, working in concert with the Bloodspawn to widen the fissure's diameter.
With the assistance of the Ninth-Rank Asura Emperor, the fissure expanded much faster. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the Bloodspawn could fully squeeze into the Demon God Floating Continent.
Crack!
In just a few dozen seconds, the Level 80 plasma shield shattered under the intense radiation. Without the plasma shield's protection, the Asura Emperor was completely exposed to the Bloodspawn's evil radiation.
In just a few seconds, the number of budding tissues on the Asura Emperor's body increased several times over, and the pulsations became more intense.
Through the Bridge of Minds, Song Chi could clearly sense the agonized cries emanating from the Asura Emperor's soul.
Even so, he could only grit his teeth and make the Asura Emperor keep going.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation came from the rear of the warship.
The spatial fluctuation was extremely weak. If Song Chi's mastery of Space Law hadn't already reached the Law Bridge level, he might not have noticed it immediately.
Without hesitation, he activated the Black Hole Evolution Layer on his warship.
Under the influence of the Black Hole Domain, the Skygale of Tianxu entered an invincible state.
Although he didn't know the source of the spatial fluctuation, Song Chi dared not take any chances during this all-out war.
Of course, the main reason was that the Skygale of Tianxu itself was present in the depths of the sky. If it had been a mirror ship, his reaction might not have been as strong.
But it was precisely this caution that saved him from a fatal blow.
After the spatial fluctuation, a Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon appeared behind the Skygale of Tianxu.
Song Chi's breathing instantly became heavy.
Various thoughts raced through his mind.
'A Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon, why would it target me?'
'Or is it targeting the Bloodspawn?'
'Does it not want the Bloodspawn to enter the Floating Continent?'
'No, this aura... it's the original master of the Swallowing Sky Python Shed!'
'Was I noticed when I summoned the Swallowing Sky Python's true spirit for assistance...'
In a flash, Song Chi understood the reason.
Immediately, the thought of fleeing flashed through his mind.
A Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon, especially one at the peak of the Ninth-Rank Limit, enhanced by the Ninth-Rank Floating Continent, was clearly beyond his capabilities to confront.
But when his gaze turned to the Asura Emperor above, a deep hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Whoosh!
Another wave of Ninth-Rank Limit energy surged from below, and Song Chi's eyes narrowed sharply.
At a time like this, hesitation was the worst thing.
'If the Asura Emperor has already sacrificed so much, how can I abandon it at the last moment?'
With that thought, he activated multiple components on the Skygale of Tianxu.
Wings of Angelic Dominion · True Spirit of Angelic Dominion!
Mythic Pulse Energy Shield · Mythic Pulse Wave!
A more solid shadow of the Angelic Dominion appeared above the Skygale of Tianxu, enveloping the entire ship. It soon collided with the attack from the Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon.
A violent explosion followed, but this time, unlike before, the Angelic Dominion's true spirit shadow, which had previously shown signs of weakness, lasted several times longer, even against a Ninth-Rank Limit attack.
'The Level 90 Wings of Angelic Dominion really are effective!'
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Song Chi's eyes, and he nodded lightly.
Previously, he had traded three Ninth-Rank Golden Apples from the Xian Qin Heavy Industries Group, one of which he used to enhance the Wings of Angelic Dominion.
It seemed to be working very well.
However, he was still facing a Ninth-Rank Limit Serpent Demon. After holding out for half a minute, the Angelic Dominion's true spirit shadow finally exhausted its power and dissipated. But thanks to its resistance, the attack from the Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon lost much of its strength, and when it finally hit the Mythic Pulse Energy Shield, it only depleted less than 5% of the shield's value.
While it seemed like a significant loss, the Level 90 Mythic Pulse Energy Shield could restore 9% of its maximum shield value per second. In other words, this level of damage could be repaired by the Mythic Pulse Energy Shield in just one second.
In the main control room of the Skyvoid Expanse, Song Chi narrowed his eyes.
He knew the situation was far from optimistic. Although the Skyvoid Expanse was now equipped with luxurious configurations, their opponent was a Ninth-Rank Limit Serpent Demon Lord. The critical issue was that the "Temporal Chessboard" feature on the chronal chessboard had not yet completed its cooldown, leaving him without his most crucial trump card. The danger the Skyvoid Expanse faced was the greatest it had ever encountered.
However, he couldn't just leave. He was certain that while the Serpent Demon Lord was currently targeting the Skyvoid Expanse, the primary goal was still the Bloodspawn outside the Floating Continent. The survival of the entire Octobrach clan depended on keeping the Bloodspawn outside the Floating Continent's protective shield. He was merely a secondary target, a means for the Serpent Demon Lord to take revenge for the ambush and the spoils taken during the battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon's eight arms struck rapidly, one after another, landing on the Mythic Pulse Energy Shield. The shield's light dimmed with each impact, the ripples growing more intense.
Warning: Severe external attack detected. Current energy shield damaged by 24%...
Warning: Severe external attack detected. Current energy shield damaged by 44%...
Energy shield damage detected. "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature activated.
Energy shield self-repairing, restoring 10% of maximum shield value. Current energy shield damage: 34%. Please repair as soon as possible.
Warning: Severe external attack detected. Current energy shield damaged by 60%...
...
Neutron Star Core Pulse feature activated, restoring 15% of maximum shield value. Current energy shield damage: 72%.
...
With each urgent alert from the AI, the Mythic Pulse Energy Shield continued to dim.
Although the shield and the neutron star core armor had passive repair capabilities, the attack frequency from the Ninth-Rank Serpent Demon was too fast, and the repair speed couldn't keep up with the damage.
When the energy shield damage exceeded 80%, Song Chi activated the Final Refuge component.
Although this component had evolved to the golden quality, it was still two major tiers lower than the Mythic Pulse Energy Shield, and its effect was limited, only restoring the shield value to 53%.
Seeing this, Song Chi, without hesitation, summoned the Sky Devourer's Shed and the illusory Dragon Whale Hall to protect the Skyvoid Expanse. He then turned his attention back to the chronal chessboard.
The problem was the Ninth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's attack frequency was too high. If he could activate the "Temporal Chessboard" feature again, the slowed time effect would perfectly solve this issue.
However, after the battle with the Lord of Truth, only a few dozen time pieces remained on the chronal chessboard. If he used them now, it would be a long time before he could use this trump card again.
Before he could continue to agonize over the decision, several more sonic booms echoed from below, indicating that more beings had arrived.
But this time, it wasn't another Eight-Armed Serpent Demon. Instead, five Flame-Ember Starships had arrived.
Scanning the five Annihilator Ships, Song Chi's eyes flickered.
Although there were only five Annihilator Ships, Song Chi did not take them lightly. The length of the five ships far exceeded that of typical Annihilator Ships, indicating that they were extraordinary.
Moreover, the five Annihilator Ships did not conceal their names.
Zhou Tian Beidou
Xian Qin Xialong
Tian Xia Jiuding
Goddess of Light
Eternal Red Dragon
Song Chi was familiar with these names, as they were all renowned Annihilator Ships.
Of the five Annihilator Ships, two were from the Xian Qin Divine Empire.
The other three came from the Shenxia Empire, the Chiyu Divine Empire, and the Sanctuary Federation.
To start, the Zhou Tian Beidou and the Xian Qin Xialong were both from the Xian Qin Divine Empire.
The Captain of the Zhou Tian Beidou was a member of the Beidou Seven Star Hall and currently ranked tenth on the Xian Qin Star Destroyer King List and sixty-third on the Xinhuo Star Destroyer General List.
The Xian Qin Xialong was even stronger, ranking third on the Xian Qin Star Destroyer King List and sixteenth on the Xinhuo Human Star Destroyer General List.
Both were among the most exceptional Annihilator Ship Captains in the Ember Human Civilization. The other three were also among the top ranks on the Xinhuo Human Star Destroyer General List.
Now, the five Annihilator Ships had arrived together, clearly aware of Song Chi's predicament and ready to lend a hand.
