National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 874 [The Immortal Realm of Mi Luo]

And there's more than one!
Song Chi's heart skipped a beat, and the mirror warship instantly stopped moving forward, hovering at a great distance from the cluster of flames.

Even though he used the replica of the [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate] component to keep the ship in a state of deep concealment in the void, he knew these almost ubiquitous gray mist energy bodies all too well. Unless he directly activated the "beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements" characteristic, there was still a considerable chance of being exposed.

Through layers of gray fog, he could vaguely see several huge and twisted shadows slowly moving around the "vacuum" zone formed by the bright white flames.

They come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble rotting giant whales, while others are terrifying beings formed from countless vengeful spirits, exuding a chilling aura of evil and death.

Several gray mist energy entities clearly coveted the seemingly weak yet tenacious flame, but were also filled with apprehension about the power it emitted. They only dared to linger on the periphery, constantly probing and letting out silent roars, causing the surrounding gray mist to churn violently.

“At least three mythical-level gray mist energy entities…” Song Chi’s expression was solemn.

He had no doubt that if he rashly entered the mirror warship in an attempt to collect the cluster of flames, he would instantly attract the siege of these terrifying beings.

With the strength of the Mirror Battleship, relying on the skeletal giant and the projection of the Void Market, it can at most contend with three gray mist energy bodies, and only for a very short time. If there are any more, then it will basically be hopeless.

Thinking of this, Song Chi was undoubtedly in a dilemma.

That cluster of flames is most likely the [Six Ding Divine Fire] he has been searching for!
However, it seemed to be severely damaged, with its primordial fluctuations extremely weak. It could barely maintain its own existence and dispel the gray mist in a small area around it, and could no longer display the supreme divine power that was said to burn the heavens and boil the seas and refine all things.

Otherwise, these mythical gray mist energy entities would never dare to get so close.

Even so, he would never give up so easily, as it was, after all, the key to repairing the [Creation Eight Trigrams Furnace].

The only good news right now is that the gray mist energy bodies in front of him are only at the tenth-order mythical level, and there seems to be no eleventh-order ones. This undoubtedly greatly increases his chances of success in his subsequent attacks.

"I have to think of a way..." Song Chi's mind raced.

A direct assault is definitely not an option. The safety of the mirror warship itself is not a concern, but the real danger is alerting the enemy. If more mythical gray mist energy bodies are attracted, then it will be difficult to obtain the Six Ding Divine Fire for a long time to come.

A diversionary tactic? These gray mist energy entities were clearly attracted here by the Six Ding Divine Fire. Luring them away would be extremely difficult and risky.

So……

A bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Over the past two hundred years, as he has continued to explore the ruins of the Immortal Realm Continent in greater depth, even though he has always tried to avoid those gray mist energy bodies and gray mist-covered areas as much as possible, time has given him a better understanding of these gray mist energy bodies.

Based on the information gathered, Song Chi is now basically certain that these gray mist energy entities are extremely eager for life energy.

Whether it's the remains of high-ranking immortals from the Immortal Realm or the ruins of spiritual mountains and blessed lands under the jurisdiction of super immortal sects, all of these contain a large amount of life energy and spiritual vitality.

Based on this, he immediately thought of the remaining twenty-four purple-veined peaches in his hand.

"The boundless vitality and essence of Ren water contained in the Ren water peaches might be the ultimate temptation for these gray mist energy entities, perhaps even surpassing their desire for the faint Six Ding Divine Fire..."

"If we can use several purple-veined peaches as bait, we might be able to create a brief opportunity!"

Do it when you think of it!

With a thought, Song Chi sent the five Purple-Patterned Peaches, which had been stored in the dimensional space stone, back to the Mirror Warship by a seventh-tier Tribulation Star Clan member.

After carefully removing all the purple-veined peaches from the dimensional space stone, the mirror warship silently retreated a distance. When it was about time, the mirror warship's hatch opened, and the Asura Emperor suddenly rushed out, clutching the five purple-veined peaches tightly in his left palm.

call out!
After the Asura King rushed out of the mirror warship, he aimed in the opposite direction from where the Six Ding Divine Fire was located, and his figure shot forward at an extremely fast speed, rushing into the distance.

really!

Just as the pure, vibrant, and spiritual aura surrounding the five purple-veined peaches suddenly erupted—

Roar! ! !
The mythical gray mist energy entities that roamed deep within the frigid abyss almost simultaneously emitted earth-shattering screams.

Their attention was instantly drawn to this boundless life energy. To them, the life aura emanating from the Purple-Veined Peaches was undoubtedly the most exquisite delicacy in the world, a supreme tonic that could make their very essence boil.

In contrast, the half-dead flame, which also had a restraining effect on them, suddenly became much less attractive.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three mythical gray mist energy bodies, as if possessed, tore through layers of gray mist and rushed towards the direction of the Asura Emperor at top speed.

"It's now!"

A sharp light flashed in Song Chi's eyes, and the already prepared mirror warship's engine ran at overload, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight toward the faint cluster of bright white flames at the bottom of the abyss.

Extremely fast!

However, before that, Song Chi had already activated the "beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements" characteristic of the replica [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate]. The mirror warship, which had completely entered a state of nothingness, was not detected by the outside world even though its flying speed was extremely amazing.

Almost instantly, the warship traversed a long distance and rushed into the "vacuum" zone where the gray mist had been dispersed by the flames.

Up close, Song Chi could better appreciate the poor condition of this flame. Its origin seemed to have suffered unimaginable damage, and the flickering flame was filled with weakness, as if it would be completely extinguished at any moment.

But he could also sense the eternal core deep within the flames, a core containing endless creation and the true meaning of refining.

that's it!
Six Ding Divine Fire!

The mirror ship's hatch opened, and a special container, crafted from various legendary alloy materials, emerged and enveloped the cluster of flames.

The collection process went unexpectedly smoothly. This cluster of divine fire seemed to sense the same aura as the replica of the [Creation Eight Trigrams Furnace - Fragment] component, and did not resist. It was obediently taken into the specially made container.

hum!
The instant the container closed, countless mysterious runes lit up its surface, completely isolating and sealing the aura of the flames inside.

Just when Song Chi thought he had succeeded in one fell swoop, at this very moment—

hoo hoo hoo!
From afar came the furious shrieks of the three mythical gray mist energy beings.

They had clearly discovered that the tempting "bait" had suddenly disappeared.

Song Chi would not easily give up five Purple-Veined Peaches, which are all of great benefit to tenth-order guiding techniques.
Under his control, just as the three gray mist energy entities were about to catch up with the Asura Emperor, he directly activated the [Ring of Heavenly Authority Control] on the main body of the Heavenly Ruins Sky.

Under the "Enslavement Seal - Berserk" characteristic, the Asura Emperor temporarily gained a tenth-tier combat power boost, which allowed him to delay for a while before he voluntarily ended his berserk state and returned to the Heavenly Market with a Market Token.

The price for this step is merely a single Purple-Veined Peach. The Purple-Veined Peach itself contains a vast amount of life energy; just one is enough to replenish the life essence burned away by the Asura King's rage.

……

A terrifying mythical pressure, like a tsunami, swept in from three directions, locking onto the entire mirror warship.

However, if that were all, Song Chi's reaction would not have been so strong. The main reason was that in the thick gray fog clouds above his head, a gray shadow with an aura a hundred times more terrifying than the three tenth-order gray fog energy bodies had somehow completely frozen the space and time around the mirror warship.

Even as the ethereal body continuously activated and replicated the [Void Warehouse] components, the divine fire storage container located not far below the warship remained unmoved.

"An eleventh-tier gray mist energy body, this is troublesome!"

Song Chi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. After much deliberation, he truly hadn't expected that there was actually an eleventh-tier gray mist energy body here.

It was an eleventh-order gray mist energy body that even the five-colored [Eye of Truth] could hardly detect. Its strength was probably far beyond that of an ordinary eleventh-order being. It was at least a senior, or even the peak of the eleventh-order.

Thinking of this, Song Chi felt no fighting spirit whatsoever. His mind raced, and he only wanted to find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible, even if it was just for a moment.

The mirror warship also carries a spare market token. As long as it can break through the solidification of the spacetime layer outside, even for just one second, it will be enough for the replica [Void Warehouse] to take the divine fire storage container into the dimensional warehouse, and then send it directly into the Heavenly Market.

But even with this seemingly simple operation, Song Chi understood the difficulty involved.

Facing an eleventh-tier mythical unit alone is already incredibly stressful.

Not to mention that the reaction speed of the three tenth-order gray mist energy bodies in the distance was also beyond imagination. In just a short while, they sensed something was wrong and were about to return.

"Can't wait any longer!"

Song Chi's eyes turned cold. He knew that once the three tenth-tier gray mist energy bodies returned, the difficulty would only increase, and he had to try his best.

Thinking it over, he didn't hesitate.

"Replicating the [World of All Great Dao Rules] - 'World of Great Dao Rules', activate!"

In an instant, a realm of rules containing the eight great laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, space, and time rapidly expanded above the mirror warship.

With its seven-colored quality and the power of eight kinds of Great Dao rules, the "Great Dao Rule World" created by the Mirror Warship is undeniably powerful. However, the warship itself is ultimately only at the ninth level, so how could such a fundamental difference be easily erased?

The moment the Great Dao Rules World unfolded, the eleventh-tier gray shadow above also made a move.

The boundless gray fog was suddenly torn apart, and Song Chi saw for the first time the true face of the eleventh-order mythical creature hidden beneath the gray fog.

In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The appearance of the eleventh-order being that emerged from the dense gray fog shocked Song Chi so much that he almost lost his voice.

It was not the twisted and deformed monster that was expected, but a Taoist priest whose body was filled with vast immortal spiritual energy!

He wore an ancient immortal robe that was tattered yet could not conceal its sacredness. Although the strange phenomena of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind surrounding the robe had faded, they still retained a supreme Daoist charm that made people's hearts tremble.

A vast and holy aura swept through the void like a tide, as if a celestial saint from the ancient primordial era had descended upon this place, majestic, ethereal, and unfathomable.

If Song Chi hadn't possessed exceptionally keen perception, catching a glimpse of a cold, lifeless gray mist almost integrated with the very essence of that vast immortal spiritual energy, and especially seeing clearly the dense, distorted grayness deep within its eyes—eyes that should have contained the birth and death of the universe and the cycle of the Great Dao—he probably would have truly believed it was a peerless saint who had survived the cataclysmic calamity of the immortal realm right before his eyes.

The ultimate holiness and the ultimate deathly evil formed a bizarre and chilling fusion in this being.

This stark contrast and shock was far more unsettling and awe-inspiring to Song Chi than seeing a purely terrifying monster.

"Even a sage from the Immortal Realm has been corrupted and transformed to such an extent..."

"Immortal Technique: The Immortal Realm of Miro!"

He didn't have much time to think before the "saint" in the sky, who had revealed his true form, launched a fierce attack.

The attack it unleashed was not the soul attack that the gray mist energy body was good at, but a profound and powerful immortal technique that caused the surrounding rules to vibrate violently—[Miro Immortal Realm].

hum!
A distorted "immortal realm" phantom, formed from endless gray mist yet containing eerie immortal laws, suddenly descended, crushing down upon the mirror warship and the [Great Dao Rule World] it had expanded.

Within this illusory "Miro Immortal Realm," there seemed to be collapsing celestial palaces, crumbling divine mountains, and overflowing celestial rivers. Amidst endless destruction and deathly silence, a strange trace of the former glory and order of the immortal path remained. These two diametrically opposed forces twisted and merged, forming an even more terrifying and horrifying suppressive force.

Click!Click!
The [Great Dao Rules World] created by the mirror warship only lasted for a moment before cracks appeared all over the boundary. The eight kinds of Great Dao Rules power seemed to be unable to withstand the strange power of the opponent, which combined the deathly silence of gray mist with immortal divine abilities, and retreated step by step.

After all, the warship itself was only at the ninth rank, while the opponent was a genuine eleventh rank being who had mastered strange supernatural abilities; the difference was simply too great.

"No, we can't stop them!"

Song Chi was horrified, but he did not give up.

Just as the [World of Great Dao Rules] was about to completely collapse, a glint of light flashed in his eyes once again.

laugh--

Under the protection of the "Great Dao Rules World", the mirror warship's hatch opened with difficulty, and the next second, the familiar mythical skeletal giant rushed out from it. It held the [Rakshasa Heaven-Slaying Sword], which had turned into a giant white bone sword. After stepping out of the warship, it turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the "Miracle Immortal Realm" that was falling all the way above its head.

For a while, it was alright because it was protected by the "Great Dao Rules World" which was not completely broken. But once it broke out of the "Great Dao Rules World", even with the skeletal giant's tenth-order skeletal body, it was still rapidly decaying under the erosion of the surging immortal domain magic power crashing down from above.

Judging from this situation, it won't be long before the skeletal giant loses all its fighting power. Not to mention fighting that "Immortal Saint," it will probably not even be able to break out of the "Miro Immortal Realm."

However, Song Chi's purpose was clearly not that.

The skeletal giant struggled to fly upwards, oblivious to the incredible speed at which his skeletal body decayed, until he reached the very center of the Miro Immortal Realm.

In the vast expanse of the Heavenly Market, Song Chi opened and closed his mouth, softly uttering a single word.

"burst!"
