Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1006 - 525: [Star Spirit Treasure Vault]

Chapter 1006 -525: [Star Spirit Treasure Vault]

Under the effect of two beams of Mirror Light, the exterior of the two Torch Warships transformed, ultimately taking the appearance of two ordinary starships.

The change in appearance was only one part of it. More importantly, the warship hulls of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Red Flame Boiling Sea gained further concealment. Together with the two Mirror Rhombus Shuttles, all four warships appeared to almost completely merge with the surrounding void, making them extremely difficult to detect.

In this state, the engines of the four warships ignited, heading straight toward the distant Star Core City.

Of course, while this concealment effect was impressive, it might not work on Dominator-level beings. Hence, Song Chi and the others meticulously avoided the Dominator battlefield above.

Even the Star Spirit Dominator overhead remained unaware, let alone the other Star Spirit Race entities below the Dominator level. Despite the four warships having reached near the Star Core Shield, they went completely unnoticed.

“Prepare to initiate spatial manipulation; don’t resist it. Also, remember—the manipulation lasts only twenty minutes, so don’t delay!”

In the warship group chat, Jing Ji reminded everyone again. She then fully mobilized her Sixth Rank energy, unleashing an abundance of Mirror Light from her Mirror Rhombus Shuttle, swiftly enveloping all four warships.

Inside the Star Core Array, in an unnoticed corner of the Vault of Heaven, the void seemed to transform into a transparent mirror. At one moment, a bright flash emerged from the mirror, but it swiftly reverted to its original state.

However, in truth, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the others had silently crossed the Star Core Shield above, now appearing within Star Core City.

Crucially, the Mirror Light concealing the ships lingered, and the countless Star Spirit Race beings within the city remained completely unaware of their presence.

Witnessing this eerie method, Song Chi felt a chill run through his heart.

He couldn’t help but think: if this method could also be applied to bypass the Floating Land Shield, then the Mirrors Clan would be truly formidable—effectively rendering the final and strongest defensive measures of countless civilizations meaningless before them.

As if perceiving Song Chi’s thoughts, Song Yan proactively explained to him via private communication:

“This spatial manipulation ability has significant limitations. It only works because the Star Spirit Dominator just recently advanced, and the Star Core Array energy intensity of Star Spirit City is still at the Sixth Rank Peak level. Additionally, Jing Ji has a high-level spatial manipulation oddity aiding her.

Otherwise, a Sixth Rank Mirrors Clan member wouldn’t be able to transform space so effortlessly—let alone achieve it with the massive Floating Land Shield, whose scale far surpasses shields of the same rank.”

After hearing the explanation, Song Chi thought to himself that this was more reasonable; otherwise, it would be far too exaggerated.

This all happened within moments. In fact, after infiltrating Star Core City, the team wasted no time since they only had twenty minutes.

“Follow me!”

Song Yan took the lead, piloting the Red Flame Boiling Sea downward. He had previously prepared measures within Star Core City and knew the specific layout. The direction he headed toward was precisely where the Star Spirit Treasure Vault was located.

The speed of the four warships was deliberately slow—or rather, they dared not move quickly. Five and Sixth Rank Star Spirit Race beings sporadically emerged nearby, and a slight misstep would expose them.

Fortunately, each warship possessed instantaneous short-range Flash Escape capabilities. After triggering the ability once, they reached the building housing the Star Spirit Treasure Vault without incident.

*Buzz buzz buzz!*

Just as the four warships were about to burst into the building, they suddenly triggered a layer of small Starlight Shield.

This abrupt change naturally drew the attention of numerous nearby Star Spirit Race beings. Within the next second, under their furious glares, countless beams of Star Light rained down from all directions.

Though the four warships were far from ordinary, suffering minimal damage, the intensive firepower bombardment left them unable to conceal themselves further. Their warship hulls were promptly exposed to the Star Spirit Race beings surrounding them.

This only fueled the Star Spirit Race beings’ rage. Above them, Primordial Stars began to coalesce, rapidly swelling under immense starlight augmentation.

The sizes expanded—hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters… In mere moments, the Primordial Star took the form of a ten-thousand-meter-wide illusory celestial body.

Song Chi didn’t care about its size—what mattered was the overwhelming threat posed by this Primordial Star. Even inside the warship, he felt his back covered in cold sweat as his hair stood on end.

Driven by instinct, he fully activated his Double Pupils.

“Indeed, such ancient civilizations passed down for thousands of years within the Red Star Continent are no easy foe. This shield clearly wasn’t here beforehand—it must have been deliberately added by the Sixth Rank Star Spirit Race beings after the Star Spirit Dominator left!”

In the warship chat, Song Yan’s expression was grim.

Suddenly, Song Chi’s voice rang out in the chat.

“The Primordial Star overhead is infused with the primal energy of two Golden Oddities. Combined with Star Core City and the reinforcement from more than ten Sixth Rank Star Spirit Race beings, this thing possesses Seventh Rank-level might. You all focus on breaching the Starlight Shield—I’ll handle the forces outside!”

Understanding the urgency of the situation, Song Yan, Jing Ji, and the others all silently agreed without further discussion.

Having conducted many joint missions, the team was composed of seasoned veterans—especially Song Yan and the other two. Seeing Song Yan not objecting, Jing Ji and the other ally deduced that Song Chi truly possessed the ability to handle the task and wasn’t being reckless.

Within the Red Flame Boiling Sea Control Room, Song Yan swiftly activated a Red Quality component aboard his flagship.

A crimson beam shot out from the warship’s hull, instantly piercing the Starlight Shield ahead. It visibly dimmed but did not completely shatter.

Fortunately, following the crimson beam, a sharp Mirror Rhombus fired from Jing Hu’s Mirror Rhombus Shuttle.

*Crack crack crack!*

The immensely dim Starlight Shield shattered instantly.

“Old Seven!”

The trio of warships sped into the treasure vault building, but Song Yan still reminded Song Chi—time was evidently too short.

The Primordial Star overhead had fully taken its shape. Rays of Primordial Star Light shot forth, imbued with Dominator might, cascading downward without reprieve.

Within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, watching the overwhelming Primordial Star Light bearing down on them, Song Chi’s mind conjured an idea.

Using the Holy Light Shield, Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield, Black Hole Evolution Layer, and Neutron Star Core Armor together, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong should likely withstand the most aggressive beam among the Primordial Light, given it lacked Perfect Law enhancement—a pseudo-Dominator-grade attack in essence.

However, even if it could block the concentrated Primordial Light, the infinite star rays following it would remain a formidable threat. Without energy shields and warship armor protection, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would face dire peril.

Of course, he could activate the “Final Blessing” feature to recover the armor and energy shields entirely—but Song Yan and the others wouldn’t have such safety measures. The dense star rays operated more like clustered bombardments, necessitating someone to intercept them.

“You all head in to plunder. Stick to the preplanned return time—don’t worry about here!”

“That said, since I’m covering the retreat, post-mission earnings must give us a 70% cut!”

Jing Ji was evidently decisive and resolute. Faced with Song Chi’s abrupt redistribution proposal, she only hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement.

“Your contribution is indeed greater this time—3:7 it is!”

…

After negotiating terms, Song Yan and the other two stopped hesitating, promptly plunging deeper into the treasure vault building.

Outside, as the Seventh Rank-level Primordial Light Beam prepared to strike the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, a radiant golden light emerged from the warship.

An Angel Sovereign Wings-enhanced shield of Holy Light enveloped the massive form of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Protected by the illusionary True Spirit of the Angel King with Eighth Rank power, the Dominator-level Primordial Star Light was weakened by 80%, rendering it incapable of inflicting significant damage on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Under the protection of the Holy Light, the cascading Primordial Star rays were repelled, entirely unable to penetrate the Angel King True Spirit Illusion’s interior.

“Angels dare to invade our Star Core Holy City? Courting death!”

Seeing the colossal True Spirit Illusion of the Angel King hovering above the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the Star Spirit beings instinctively mistook Song Chi for an angel.

Having successfully misdirected their animosity, Song Chi certainly wouldn’t bother correcting them.

Confronted with an increasing number of Fifth and Sixth Rank Star Spirit Race entities attacking from above, Song Chi remained unperturbed. The enhanced Wings of Royal Authority component (level 70) summoned a near-impenetrable Angel King True Spirit Illusion. Ordinary attacks at the Fifth and Sixth Rank levels would be suppressed by 90%, leaving only 10% of residual power.

Even this reduced force would struggle to breach the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s outer layer of Holy Light Shield, requiring prolonged efforts that posed minimal threat to the warship overall.

Recognizing the futility of their tactics, the Star Spirit beings ceased their attacks momentarily.

At that moment, a Sixth Rank Peak Star Spirit ascended to the Vault of Heaven, emanating tremendous star energy as it established a deliberate link to the Primordial Star overhead.

In an instant, the Primordial Star and this entity became fully synchronized. Song Chi could only watch as the figure raised its right arm, appearing to cradle the entire Primordial Star.

Just when Song Chi wondered what it intended, the Sixth Rank Peak Star Spirit violently swung its arm—causing the ten-thousand-meter Primordial Star to transform into a meteor, blazing with radiant star light and incandescent flames, plummeting downward.

“Seriously, another self-destructing star move? Does every Star-forged civilization default to this trick?”

This was the first thought to surface in Song Chi’s mind. It wasn’t entirely unwarranted—both the Robber Star Race and the Star Spirit Race seemed to rely on star projection self-destruction after summoning one, and even his Shaking Light Star Tower boasted similar techniques.

Despite his internal grumbling, Song Chi’s response was swift.

Under his mental command, the True Spirit Illusion of the Angel King overhead unfurled twelve radiant wings. Each wing brimmed with concentrated Holy Light energy and the Law of Light, ultimately coalescing into a massive Holy Light Ball that surged straight toward the descending Primordial Star.

*Boom!*

The collision of Holy Light and Star Light unleashed a devastating shockwave, rippling outward from the point of impact.
