Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 660 - 347: Shaking Light Star Rank - Initiation, [Shaking Light Star Tower]_2
If you think that way, you are gravely mistaken.
Although the Evil Buddha Clan can be considered an advanced civilization, in front of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization, they are merely slightly larger ants. As far as Song Chi knew, the Dominators in the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization were never less than three digits, capable of annihilating the Evil Buddha Continent with a mere flick of the wrist.
Moreover, the Evil Buddha Continent’s size, although impressive, pales in comparison to the Robber Star Civilization, which commands a territory of 800,000 light-years.
And why is the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization so formidable?
That naturally stems from their individual combat power and the formidable Heavenly Serpent Warships under their command.
The individuals of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization, each born with eight arms and a terrifying physique, possess extraordinary combat talents. They’re also favored by the Law of Earth, inherently bestowed with incredible talents in this particular law, coupled with their unparalleled Petrification Eyes, they truly belong to the upper echelons in the Starry Sea among beings of the same rank.
Based on these reasons, Song Chi dared not take it lightly.
Ahead, as the so-called trial commenced, a Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon already howled and charged directly towards the Cangqiong.
In an instant, Song Chi thought of many strategies. His subconscious desire was to utilize the warship’s agility in combat. Although the Eight-Armed Snake Demons were formidable, speed was not their advantage. The current one didn’t have a Heavenly Serpent Warship in its possession, and Song Chi could entirely rely on Cangqiong’s speed to execute hit-and-run tactics.
In fact, he didn’t even need to consider that much; with both the "Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon" and "Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light Cannon" main cannons enhanced to lv50, even if the physical resilience of the Eight-Armed Snake Demons were strong, they wouldn’t withstand several hits.
However, at this moment, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain offered another suggestion.
[Considering the captain’s lack of practical combat experience and the limited threat this Third-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon poses to our ship, it is advisable to transform into the Mythical Mecha Form and engage it in close combat to enhance our weakest aspect—hand-to-hand combat skills!]
Seeing this suggestion, Song Chi hesitated only for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Subsequently, the Cangqiong remained motionless, quietly waiting for the approaching Third-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon. Just before their impending clash, the 1,300-meter-long warship suddenly transformed, taking on the form of a Mythical Mech of equal height.
The Divine-weaving Sword was clenched in the huge hands of the Mech Giant, and its blade, entwined with the power of Space Law, chopped straight at the charging Eight-Armed Snake Demon.
The Eight-Armed Snake Demon was also clutching a spear-like Strange Object; the two clashed rapidly, emitting a series of sharp metallic clangs.
As Song Chi expected, this Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon hadn’t mastered the Power of Laws—it was, after all, only the first trial.
Without the enhancement of the Law of Earth, its Petrification Eyes found it difficult to penetrate the Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield component protecting the Cangqiong, and although its physique and vitality were indeed notable, compared to legendary creatures such as Starry Sky Behemoths, Giants, Dragons, etc., it fell short significantly.
Several hours later, after judging that further combat would not enhance his skills, Song Chi decided to end the adversary directly with the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon.
In the silent stellar space, the Mech Giant’s left arm lifted high, forming a nearly two-thousand-meters-long Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light from its palm, which then burst forth violently.
After the whooshing sound of Sword Intent, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon in front finally vanished completely under the Extreme Yang Sword Intent.
With the complete death of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon, Song Chi returned the Cangqiong to its warship form, his eyes carrying an inextinguishable weariness.
During those hours, he hadn’t maintained the Mythical Mecha Form continuously. With his current level of Spiritual Force, he couldn’t manage that.
His approach was to combat in Mech Form for about ten minutes, then revert to warship form, handing over control to the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain while taking the time to rest and rejuvenate. Once refreshed, he would continue engaging in close combat by transforming into the Mythical Mecha Form anew.
In these few hours, he repeated this process several times until he felt that the Eight-Armed Snake Demon no longer had a substantial practical impact.
Just as Song Chi was summarizing his close combat gains from the past few hours with his eyes closed, an unexpected notification sound made him suddenly open his eyes, a mix of confusion and shock interwoven in his gaze.
[Killing a Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon, awarded one strand of Second Rank Floating Land Origin!]
Certainly, the Cangqiong had indeed received a strand of Floating Land Origin, which only confirmed one thing.
The previously encountered Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon was not an illusion created by the trial space, but was indeed real!
Coming to this conclusion, Song Chi could not remain calm, knowing that real Eight-Armed Snake Demons only appeared on the battlefronts of the Four Great Empires.
"Could it really be that a real Eight-Armed Snake Demon is used as a trial subject? What exactly is the origin of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall?"
Thinking this, he had the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain calculate the possibilities and related information.
[One: the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall is definitely associated with the Torch Human Civilization, as the reason is, besides Shattered Starry Sea, other Star Domains have no known existence of species like the Eight-Armed Snake Demons. The Eight-Armed Snake Demon Galaxy Cluster is the only known Star Domain currently inhabited by Eight-Armed Snake Demon individuals. Another point is that their entry tokens can only be activated by the Seed of Torch.]
[Two: Based on the first point, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall is a force from the Torch Human Civilization’s battlefront of the Four Great Empires, and these entry tokens serve to select appropriate Torch Ship Captains from the entire Torch Galaxy Clusters to hunt Eight-Armed Snake Demons.]
[Three: Based on the first point, these live Eight-Armed Snake Demons are merely purchased through the black market, and the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall is a transcendental force hidden within the Torch Humanity Galaxy Clusters.]

[Four: The Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall is related to the Yaohan Kingdom, especially to the Northern Sphere Heavenly King Manor of the Yaohan Kingdom, because the token is a gift from the children of Northern Sphere King Manor.]
...
Scattered, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain listed dozens of conjectures, but the most probable were just the initial few.
However, these were only speculations, and nothing could be confirmed. Song Chi did not ponder further, and instead, he promptly commenced the second round of the trial.
This subsequent second round of the trial still featured Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons without the control of the Power of Laws, but this time there were two instead of one.
Regarding this, Song Chi remained undisturbed, continuing as before, using these two Third Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons as sparring partners, striving to enhance his own real combat experience as much as possible.
Unknown to Song Chi, as he methodically went about his trial tasks, in a distant Star Domain, within an ancient Star Tower standing atop the ageless Starry Sky Great Wall, there were entities closely observing his challenge progress.
Several blurry ethereal projections watched the virtual star screen in front of them.
This virtual star screen displayed a few lines of text.
[Trialist is currently challenging the second level.]
[Time taken for the first level challenge: 4 hours 32 minutes.]
Seeing this, several ethereal projections in the Star Tower shook their heads, but before they could speak, a burst of spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from the login Star Platform at the back of the Star Tower Great Hall, signifying the logging in of a new humanoid projection to the Star Tower.
"I heard we have a new trialist in our Shaking Light Star Tower, how is it going?"
Upon hearing this loud inquiry, the projections in front of the star-lit screen turned back briefly, nodded at each other, and then someone shook their head and said,
"There’s no possibility of passing the trial!"
"Oh?"
Surprise appeared in the eyes of the newly logged-in projection, as everyone present had been old timers of the Shaking Light Star Tower, having witnessed hundreds, if not dozens, of Star Tower trials over hundreds or thousands of years. Yet, this was the first time he had heard these veterans speak so definitively.
However, he quickly understood why, as he too saw the real-time situation of the trial on the star-lit screen.
