Global Era of Star Trekking

Before they could think too much, three massive figures had already darted up from below.

Two Tiger Turtle King Worms and one Sawtooth King Worm.

“Stop them!”

Song Wujiang ordered immediately.

The several warships were already struggling against the harassment of thousands of Shadowless Insects. If these three Domination-Level King Worms joined the battle, the flagship shared by Song Shiyuan and the others, only outfitted with Seventh-Level Silver Warship Armor, would face extreme danger of being sunk.

As soon as he spoke, both the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] and the [Red Flame Boiling Sea] surged forward, each engaging one Domination King Worm.

The [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] on the other hand didn’t follow. Under Song Chi’s command, the warship’s hatch opened quickly, and the miniaturized [Starry Sky Dragon Shark] shot out from within.

Roar!

Now fully restored, the [Starry Sky Dragon Shark], following Song Chi’s commands, charged toward the remaining Domination King Worm.

Below, the energy clashes among the Domination-level fighters had already begun to ripple outward, but Song Chi wasn’t focused on that right now. He had only one task.

[Dome Sky Brain System] · “Fully Automated Sub-brain Intelligence Mechanism,” activate!

With the activation of this feature, another shadow darted out from the still-open hatch.

One by one, small mechas swarmed out. Finally, as many as two thousand five hundred Fourth-Rank [Hellfire Mechs] and five hundred Fifth-Rank [Moruo Space-Escape Mechs] appeared above the Floating Land. Once outside the warship, all three thousand mechas returned to their original massive sizes.

The two thousand five hundred [Hellfire Mechs] were manageable enough. As simplified creations from the family’s research institute, they stood no taller than 100 meters. The five hundred Fifth-Rank [Moruo Space-Escape Mechs], however, were another story. Each was an imposing 10,000 meters tall, their collective presence awe-inspiring and oppressive.

Under the control of the [Dome Sky Brain System] aboard the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong], the two thousand five hundred [Hellfire Mechs] raised their standard-issue new nuclear-energy ray guns and began precision sniping the thousands of Shadowless Insects surrounding them.

Shadowless Insects, known for their exceptional agility and stealth capabilities?

How did they compare to the Fifth-Rank [Moruo Space-Escape Mechs], capable of freely slipping into void space?

Faced with endless firepower and the near-mythical stealth-hunting abilities of the [Moruo Space-Escape Mechs], the Shadowless Insects fell at a horrifying pace.

Hiss-hiss-hiss!

Below, the upper half of the Ancient Mother Empress’s exquisitely beautiful human-like form suddenly underwent a drastic transformation. Her red lips parted wide, revealing an array of sharp, gnashing teeth that sent chills down the spine. A piercing shriek, filled with incredible penetrative force, erupted from her throat.

Yet this soul-piercing shriek, powerful enough to intimidate divine souls, was largely ineffective against the Song family.

Initially, pained expressions flickered across the faces of the warriors, but they were quickly shielded by the ethereal projection of the [Dragon Whale Hall] from the depths of their Ancestral Apertures.

With the [Black Supreme] Grade Soul Defense in combination with the amplification provided by the now Seventh-Level Floating Land [Dragon Spine Continent], even the immense soul power of this Ancient Mother Empress could only wane in futility.

Realizing her once-unrivaled soul techniques had failed, faint panic finally surfaced within the Ancient Mother Empress. By now, it had become clear to her that these six unknown warships in the skies indeed had the power to hunt her down.

Above the Domination battlefield, seeing the drastically dwindling number of Shadowless Insects nearby, Song Chi didn’t hesitate. The dual engines of the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] roared to life, propelling it downward at full speed.

Originally, his intention was to assist the ancestor’s [Dinghai Dragon Steed], relieving it of its battle against the Tiger Turtle King Worm to free it up to focus on the Ancient Mother Empress below.

As a notorious Domination-Level Ancient Mother Empress, her threat level was always the highest. As one of the highest-ranking matriarchs of the Starry Sky Insect Race (Queen Insect, Insect Mother, Mother Empress), her intelligence was terrifying. Without quickly restraining or eliminating her, the battlefield could hardly stabilize.

Take now, for instance—her abdominal red markings had visibly darkened severalfold. This signaled that the Ancient Mother Empress was consuming her life energy to accelerate the gestation of King Worms inside her body.

This was something the Song family could never allow, as it would exponentially increase the unpredictability of the battle.

The [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] moved fast, but something else was even faster.

From the King Worm Chrysalis Room behind the Ancient Mother Empress, yet another giant King Worm suddenly emerged.

“The fifth Domination-Level King Worm!”

Song Chi and the Song clan members all gasped in shock.

No one had expected the seemingly slightly larger Chrysalis Room to have held not one but two Domination-Level King Worms.

Watching the massive black-shelled King Worm dart upward at great speed, its distinctive scorpion tail trailing behind, Song Chi’s face darkened as he immediately recognized it.

“A Black Scorpion King Worm!”

The Black Scorpion King Worm was among the most lethal of King Worms when it came to battle power. Not only did it boast exceptional defense, but its scorpion tail, laced with Domination-Level venom, was an unpredictable threat. Once stung, the resulting lingering venom damage was secondary; the true danger lay in the complete nullification of True Defense attributes.

Despite an instinctive wave of dread, Song Chi advanced head-on. The balance of the battlefield had been painstakingly restored; he couldn’t allow this to be overturned so easily.

Clang!

The steel warship collided violently with the alloy exoskeleton of the King Worm. The 160-kilometer-long [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] was sent careening upward by the rebound, soaring hundreds of kilometers into the air.

Meanwhile, the Black Scorpion King Worm seemed entirely unfazed by the impact. Even the spot where the [Black Gold Ram] had struck only bore a faint white scratch.

The Red Quality Ram was far too fragile against a Domination-level being, and the absolute difference in size only made the outcome inevitable.

Song Chi remained calm, unshaken by the result. He had anticipated this outcome from the start. Expecting a single Fearless Ship to hold off or defeat a Domination being in a direct clash was completely unrealistic.

Take the battlefield where the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] clashed against the Sawtooth King Worm. His eldest brother, Song Yan, relied on a high-level Flame Domain component to constantly harass and delay the enemy through hit-and-run tactics.

[Purusa Zen Seal] · “Pusuo Time Realm,” activate!

Vast temporal energy surged out from the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong], quickly forming a Time Domain that enveloped both the warship and the Black Scorpion King Worm, slowing time by a factor of ten.

But the surrounding battlefields remained outside the scope of the [Pusuo Time Realm]. Distancing oneself sufficiently from other Domination-level clashes was a basic necessity to avoid interference.

It didn’t end there. Following the activation of the Time Domain, Song Chi also triggered the “Super Body Shrinkage” feature of the [Super Body Shrink Card] component.

Instantly, the body of the Black Scorpion King Worm began to shrink progressively. Although it didn’t shrink to the full tenfold extent allowed by the feature, reducing the Black Scorpion King Worm’s combat power by merely 20% was already enough for Song Chi.

With the combined effects of slowed time and combat power reduction, paired with the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong]’s formidable defense and extreme speed, holding the King Worm at bay for an extended period was feasible.

As for the [Dinghai Dragon Steed], Song Chi wasn’t concerned. The Shadowless Insects above had been cleared out by the Prime Ancestors. At this moment, the three Fearless Ships were descending rapidly.

Comprising the [Immovable Ming King], the [Dinghai Dragon Ship], and the [Purple Moon Chant], supported by the three thousand [Hellfire Mechs] and [Moruo Space-Escape Mechs], holding off the Domination King Worm that the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] was currently facing wouldn’t be a problem.

Yet trouble arose once more: a spatial vortex suddenly appeared in the path of the three descending Fearless Ships.

The Domination King Worm that had previously headed toward the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator Flagship had returned!

This highlighted one of the shortcomings of the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator Flagship—it boasted impressive offensive and defensive capabilities, but once an enemy decided to leave, it was difficult to stop them.

Under the control of the Tri-Eye Race, unique techniques like restraint methods could be employed. But without that control, such advantages were no longer in play.
