National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 886 The Fall of the Human Emperor City
Chaotic Divine Continent, Heavenly Ape Star Realm, Human Emperor City.

As always, apart from the ceaseless and rampant chaotic storms outside the city, the Imperial City remains peaceful and serene today.

It has now been 326 years since that raid on the camp. Since that sneak attack, the five-race allied forces have suffered heavy losses and have been secretly licking their wounds all these years. This has allowed the imperial city to have a long-awaited period of peace.

Even so, the patrol fleets on the four walls of the Human Emperor City never relaxed their vigilance, even though the city's monitoring departments were constantly monitoring the situation at the Five Races Allied Legion's base.

It was precisely this meticulous patrol attitude that allowed multiple fleets to detect the anomaly in the distant sky immediately.

"Wait, Captain, look what's that?"

"That's Zerg, and Blademasters too! It's an enemy attack, an enemy attack!"

"Quickly, notify the command center!"

……

Although the patrol fleets reacted quickly, the shadow that quietly appeared on the horizon was even faster.

Boom boom boom!
shhhhhh!
In the chaotic void of the sky, a massive legion composed of five races—Fel Energy, Colossi, Blades, and others—along with the newly joined, overwhelming swarm of Corrupting Rays, surged towards the [Human Emperor City] like a destructive tide.

This offensive was far more frenzied and brutal than the first.

The three eleventh-tier mythical beings, Evil Eye, Annihilation Throat, and Giant Elephant, had clearly given their all and held nothing back.

The swarm of Corrosive Rays they had invited was now like a gray storm of death. The corrosive energy rays they spewed converged into thick fog of light, constantly eroding and wearing down the indestructible Great Wall of Civilization rules and the Chaos Energy Shield surrounding the [Human Emperor City].

The city's defense system was firing at full power, with countless warships forming an iron wall, and the light of the cannon fire illuminating the chaotic void with flickering light.

Jiang Yuan's [Shenxia Jiuli] and Ji Heng's [Xuanhuang Chiyu] appeared above the Human Emperor City like two mobile war fortresses.

Following closely behind were the Mythical Starry Sky Dragon and the Thirty-Six-Winged Holy Angel. Their enormous phantoms roared and swung their swords in the sky. With the support of the Chaos Origin of the Human Emperor City, they clashed fiercely with the several eleventh-tier alien mythical beings in the sky. The aftershocks of the clash of the power of rules continued to shake the entire battlefield.

In just a short while, the battle had already entered its most brutal phase of attrition.

Every day, tens of thousands of warships sink and disintegrate; every moment, powerful figures fall.

In particular, the terrifying swarm of insects, though not individually strong, possessed a formidable ability to devour, and the corrosive acid they spewed was eroding the rule-based light barrier erected by the two [Great Walls of Civilization] at an unbelievable speed.

No matter how Jiang Yuan organized the city's fleet to do everything in its power to wipe out the insect swarms, their numbers were simply too great.

Under such intense and continuous attacks, the light emitted by the two rule-based light curtain shields dimmed at a visible speed.

"No, something has to be done!"

At the critical moment, a resolute glint flashed in Ji Heng's eyes.

The hull of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] shone brightly, and the [Light of Order] component was activated. The [Light of Order], which had been linked to tens of thousands of Star Destroyer-level and above Fire-type warships, frantically gathered white light at the bow of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu].

"Ji Heng, don't be impulsive. These are corrosive light swarms, a very special branch of the Starsea Insect Clan. They can easily devour and simulate light energy attacks."

"These are tactics used by the Five Races Alliance specifically to target the [Light of Order]!"

As a veteran emperor of the Burning Flame Civilization, how could Ji Heng not know this?
But his actions did not stop; white light continued to gather frantically at the bow of the Xuanhuang Chiyu ship.

"The [Light of Order], which links ten thousand high-level Fire-Burning Warships, is so powerful that even a tenth-tier Primordial Emperor Insect would never dare to confront it head-on, let alone these ordinary insect swarms. Jiang Yuan, you must hold off that eleventh-tier Corrupting Primordial Emperor Insect for me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered with worry, but there was no other way at the moment, so in the end he could only nod slightly.

After a brief moment, whoosh!

An unprecedentedly thick beam of [Order Beam], powerful enough to pierce through the galaxy, suddenly erupted. The pure and destructive energy torrent tore through the insect swarm and shot directly at the bloated eleventh-tier Corruption Queen behind them, who was still spewing out swarms of insects.

This attack, combining the power of ten thousand ships, was a decisive blow, intended to decapitate the enemy's core forces.

If we can kill this eleventh-tier Primordial Mother Queen in one fell swoop, without her control, these countless swarms of Corrupting Insects will most likely scatter in all directions.

However, just as the [Beam of Order] was about to hit its target, a sudden change occurred.

Beside the seemingly clumsy Corruption Queen, the void suddenly twisted, and another, even larger, eleventh-tier Corruption Primordial Emperor Insect with ancient, primitive patterns covering its carapace quietly appeared.

It opened its enormous maw, which seemed capable of swallowing galaxies. Inside the maw was not a throat, but a strange, rotating organ that simulated all energy structures.

The [Beam of Order], powerful enough to severely injure or even kill an eleventh-tier mythical being, was swallowed whole by it. The surface of the Primordial Emperor Insect fluctuated violently, with countless runes flashing and flowing as it analyzed and simulated this power at an unimaginable speed!
The next second, an almost identical [beam of order], but imbued with a dense devouring rule, was spewed out in a more ferocious manner, its target being the already crumbling chaotic energy shield of the [Human Emperor City].

"not good!"

Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan had been on guard in secret. In that instant, the dazzling starlight spread wildly, and twelve bronze giant pillars suddenly rose from the ground beneath the Human Emperor City. Each pillar was engraved with ancient star maps, which was the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array] beneath the Human Emperor City.

boom--! ! !
A deafening roar resounded, and even the Zhou Tian Star Array, one of the ultimate trump cards of the Human Emperor City, was unable to completely withstand this earth-shattering attack.

Click, click, click!
After only a few seconds of stalemate, the Zhou Tian Star Array shattered with a deafening roar. The Devouring Order Light, which had already lost most of its power, still collided head-on with the rule light barrier outside the Human Emperor City.

The already dimmed light curtain of the Great Wall of Civilization rules also failed to avoid becoming completely dim.

The only good news is that at least the Chaos Origin City Shield above the Human Emperor City is still at its peak.

Although the Chaos Origin City's shield might not last long under the erosion and decay of countless swarms of decaying insects, at least the Human Emperor City is not completely exposed to these countless alien races.

Before Jiang Yuan and the other could think further, the newly appeared eleventh-tier Corrupting Primordial Emperor Insect did something that terrified them.

The eleventh-tier Corruption Primordial Emperor Insect opened its ferocious maws wildly. Behind its giant emperor insect body, the bloated mouth of the Corruption Queen spat out a large amount of life energy. Following the supply of this life energy, the Primordial Emperor Insect's mouth once again condensed a completely identical beam of devouring order light.

"Stop it!"

Hundreds of afterimages rushed out of the Human Emperor City, including ninth-order superdimensional mothership clones and ninth-order enslaved creatures. The strongest among them was the mythical blood god abomination summoned by Wilson Aclemon. However, at this moment, the three eleventh-order mythical beings, including Evil Eye, were blocking the eleventh-order primordial emperor insects at all costs, giving the Torchfire Civilization no chance whatsoever.

Swish!
The second terrifying beam of light shot out again, annihilating multiple warship clones that blocked its path, including the tenth-tier Blood God Abomination, before finally crashing down on the chaotic energy shield of the Human Emperor City.

This time, there was no other way to stop it. The city shield of the [Human Emperor City] withstood the terrifying blow that gathered the power of ten thousand ships and was amplified by simulation. Although the city shield of the top-level Chaos City was strong enough and did not shatter directly in one blow, the dense spider web-like cracks on the shield were hard to hide.

Under the increasingly frenzied, suicidal attacks of the carrion-devouring swarms outside the city, the shield of the Human Emperor City shattered completely within just a few hours. The shield was broken!
"kill!!!"

"Crush them!"

Endless alien warriors and swarms of decaying insects roared with excitement, surging into the interior of the [Human Emperor City] like a flood bursting its banks.

Having lost its greatest shield, the Torch Fleet was immediately exposed to direct enemy attacks, suffering losses that increased exponentially, and the battle line was rapidly compressed backward.

"Don't panic! Rely on the fleet's organizational structure for defense!" Jiang Yuan's voice remained cold, but carried a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

Without the protection of the city's shield, the pressure on both the [Shenxia Jiuli] and [Xuanhuang Chiyu] has increased dramatically.

Under the combined assault of Evil Eye, Annihilation Throat, Giant Elephant, and the two eleventh-tier Corruption Emperor Insects, the divine bodies of the Mythical Starry Sky Azure Dragon and the Thirty-Six-Winged Holy Angel became flickering and riddled with wounds, completely at a disadvantage, and their defeat seemed to be only a matter of time.

With city walls shattered and beacon fires raging through the streets, the [Human Emperor City] is facing its most perilous moment since its founding, with its fall imminent.

At this extremely critical moment—

boom! boom!
Two vast and unparalleled mythical immortal auras, surpassing even ordinary tenth-tier beings, suddenly soared into the sky from the Chaos Teleportation Plaza at the very core of the [Human Emperor City], instantly dispelling the pervasive smoke and despair.

"A bunch of losers from past eras, do you think my Fire of Civilization has no one left?"

A calm and authoritative voice rang out.

As the light faded, two magnificent warships, radiating complete and immortal divine power and flowing with eternal Daoist charm, appeared—the [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] and the [Heavenly Ruins Azure Sky], which had successfully broken through the tenth-order guidance technique and officially entered the realm of mythical immortality.

Song Chi and Ying Yi return at the most crucial moment!

"Old Jiang, Ji Heng, we've kept you waiting!"

As soon as Ying Yi finished speaking, the [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] charged towards the main battlefield without hesitation.

"Good timing!" Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she didn't waste any words.

The three mythical warships representing the three top inheritances of the human race—the Shenxia Jiuli, the Xuanhuang Chiyu, and the Xianqin Zulong—arranged themselves in a triangular formation in an instant, and the components of the Three Corpse Shrines installed inside them were activated without hesitation.

"The three corpses return to their places, the shrine gathers spiritual energy, and a transcendent fusion is achieved!"

hum!
Endless divine light erupted, and the shapes of the three warships decomposed, recombined, and merged within the light!
In a short moment, an enormous, indescribably massive, three-colored superhuman mecha giant, its body swirling with the Crimson Yu Divine Fire, the Immortal Qin Dragon Qi, and the Nine Li Battle Patterns, appeared in the sky above the Human Emperor City.

Its oppressive aura even briefly overwhelmed several alien eleventh-tier mythical beings. With the support of the chaotic origin of the [Human Emperor City], its combat power soared to the limit of the eleventh tier.

"Kill one first!" came the cold, unison shout from inside the Three Corpse Hypermorphic Mecha Giant.

The Three Corpse Super-Giant's gaze instantly locked onto the Evil Eye Lord, who was charging at the forefront. Its six arms each held a seven-colored magical weapon taken from one of the three Human Emperors, carrying a terrifying power that could annihilate all laws, and smashed down on the enemy's head.

The Lord of Evil Eyes was terrified and frantically mobilized the power of the rules to resist.

However, before this fused giant blessed by Chaos City, its resistance seemed so pale and powerless. With each collision, its fel body shattered, and the expanded realm of rules groaned. It was almost being overwhelmed by the frenzied attack, with no power to fight back.

At the same time, Song Chi's [Tianxu Cangqiong] also moved.

"Mirror image, appear!"

Once the components had cooled down and activated, another mirror-image warship, the [Sky Ruins], exuding the same immortal aura, appeared out of thin air.

"The Bone Tomb, the Replica of the Bone Tomb, summon it!"

Two tombs filled with the rules of death opened, and two mythical skeletal giants, each billions of kilometers tall, wielding giant white bone swords and with ghostly blue soul flames burning in their eye sockets, stepped out of the void, letting out a silent roar.

Unfortunately, although Song Chi has upgraded the [Skeleton Tomb] to level 120, the two skeletal giants are currently only at level 10 because the eleventh-tier skeletal giants require too many high-tier corpses to be bred.

"Market projection, town!"

The Great Dao Origin Totem Pole shone with boundless light, and the magnificent and ancient Purple Mist Phantom of the [All Heavens Market] descended upon the battlefield, with the rules of the Great Dao descending to form a unique realm of mythical rules.

"Your opponent is me!"

With a deep sigh, Song Chi unleashed his power simultaneously with his main warship, mirror warship, two skeletal giants, and the projection of the market, forcefully blocking the attempts of the Annihilation Throat, the Chaos Giant Elephant Ancestor, and the newly appeared Corrupting Primordial Emperor Worm to support the Evil Eye!
He intended to single-handedly delay the three eleventh-tier mythical beings.

Even so, there was still an eleventh-tier mythical creature from another race present—the eleventh-tier Primordial Emperor Insect that had first appeared.

Looking at the side of the Torch Civilization, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the Starry Sky Azure Dragon, the Thirty-Six-Winged Holy Angel, the Planet Devourer, the Void Sea Flame Phoenix (a newly promoted mythical enslaved creature of the Crimson Yu Ji Clan), the Returning Ruins Annihilation Whale (a newly promoted mythical enslaved creature of the Divine Xia Jiang Clan), the Mythical Asura, and others, each of them has to face four, five, or even more tenth-tier alien races, and they simply cannot spare the time to deal with them.

Seeing that the eleventh-tier Primordial Emperor Insect had chosen to rush to the aid of the Evil Eye without hesitation, Song Chi in the Sky Ruins gritted his teeth.

The next second, his mind raced, and the "Time Chessboard" feature of the [Time Chessboard] was activated.

Instantly, a virtual, seven-colored chessboard constructed from 108 time-based chess pieces appeared above the Human Emperor City.

However, the chessboard's restriction target is not any of the five eleventh-tier myths present, but rather the battlefield where the distant myth Asura is located.

In an instant, all five tenth-tier alien beings who were fighting head-on against the mythical Asura were enveloped by a time domain that slowed down by more than a thousand times.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mythical Asura quickly left the battlefield and headed towards the eleventh-tier Primordial Emperor Insect.

As it flew along, the aura emanating from the mythical Asura rapidly increased.

Entering the tenth level
Level 10 Senior
Late Stage of Rank 10
Peak of the Tenth Tier
It was none other than Song Chi using the "Slave Seal - Berserk" characteristic of the [Ring of Heavenly Authority].

However, since the [Ring of Heavenly Authority] is only a tricolor component, it is not enough to allow the Mythical Asura to achieve a leapfrog improvement.

However, even at the peak of the tenth rank, it was barely enough to hold off the primordial emperor insect that had just entered the eleventh rank for a while.

And so, the battle instantly intensified.

On Song Chi's side, although he temporarily held off four major enemies using various means, he was under immense pressure.

Every second, clear cracks appeared on the mirror warship and the skeletal giant, the market projection trembled constantly, and the Mythical Asura was bleeding profusely. He was using his resources and foundation to hold on and buy time for Jiang Yuan and the other two.

In other words, the Sky Ruins Skyship is equipped with the [Time Chessboard], which has the life-saving feature of "Twelve Lives of Life and Death Chess". Otherwise, who would dare to be so crazy?
