National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 911 Returning to the Ruins of Botian
In the vast sea of ​​stars and the myriad realms, time is but a fleeting moment; in the blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed.

The Chaotic Divine Continent, the Heavenly Ape Star Realm, a star region that was once turbulent due to the appearance of the [Bat Heaven Ruins], has now returned to silence.

However, beneath this silence lies the fact that the ruins have endured countless years and have been continuously eroded by those who lurk in the shadows with the power of mythology. Now, they have reached the very edge of their limits and are showing signs of complete collapse.

Although Song Chi was in the Zhutian Xushi and not in the Chaos Divine Continent, he was perfectly aware of this.

"it's time……"

In the all-attribute cultivation room, accompanied by a muttered self-talk, the door opened, and Song Chi, who had been in seclusion for a thousand years, stepped out once again.

Shattered star sea, fiery territory, celestial ruins and divine court.

The Fourth Fire River System Cluster, under the jurisdiction of the Divine Court, is an eighth-level peak life floating continent, the Earth Rock Floating Continent.

Today is the day that the Earthly Floating Continent, as designated by the Song Clan of Tianxu, will officially attempt to become a Level 9 Floating Continent. To this end, countless captains of the Fire-Burning Ships under the Divine Court have gathered here, hoping to use the subsequent energy tides of the Level 9 Floating Continent's origin to assist their flagships in their advancement.

However, the core space, which is the most important part of the floating continent and where the energy tides are most concentrated, is now completely empty.

Half an hour later, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, Song Chi's figure finally appeared.

If there were outsiders here, they would definitely be curious, because there was another figure right behind their Emperor Song.

The figure was not human; its aura reached the peak of the ninth rank. It was none other than Zi Huan, the last pure-blooded member of the Bo Tian Clan in the world.

As a pure-blooded Botian Clan member born more than 20,000 years ago, Zi Huan was forcibly accelerated into a life form of the eighth rank by the Botian Will using a piece of the heart of a mythical ancient tree of life. However, it actually lacked accumulation of experience. Otherwise, it would not have only advanced one major rank so far.

However, after more than 20,000 years of buffering, and with Song Chi, its master, pouring a lot of resources into it, its accumulation and foundation are now more than enough. Having reached the limit of the ninth rank tens of thousands of years ago, it is now only one step away from opening the door to mythology.

And now is the time for Song Chi's proposed promotion.

As the floating land ascended, the world changed color. Numerous fragments of the floating land and asteroids merged into the terrestrial floating land, and the continental area continued to expand until finally, an endless tide of energy swept across all directions.

Deep within the core space of the floating land, Zi Huan stood suspended in mid-air. The continuously converging ninth-order tidal energy surged into its body, causing its blood and qi to repeatedly crash against the mythical barrier within its body.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but at a certain moment, Zi Huan suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, and at the same time, she swallowed the [Primordial Limitless Pill] that she had been holding in her hand.

The pill entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a mighty, chaotic torrent, frantically merging with the already overflowing Botian bloodline within his body.

"Roar!!"

A roar that seemed to come from the ancient past erupted from Zi Huan's mouth. Under the impact of the immense energy, its body began to expand violently, and the purple-gold scales on its body surface emitted a dazzling light. Ancient patterns containing the source of power emerged and spread from under the scales.

Its aura surged like a volcanic eruption, causing the rules of the entire floating continent to resonate with it.

That exclusive pressure belonging to the Botian Clan—an unparalleled will to contend with the heavens and fight the Dao—spread out with a roar, even overshadowing the grand spectacle of the Floating Continent's ascension.

Deep within the floating continent's sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared—the jubilant will of the entire floating continent.

Time passed slowly, and although the advancement process was somewhat bumpy, with energy impacts causing the Purple Scales to crack and blood to flow freely, the determination and will in its eyes grew even stronger.

Finally, accompanied by a dazzling pillar of light that tore through the sea of ​​stars, a complete and overwhelming mythical pressure was completely stabilized.

Zi Huan successfully advanced to the tenth-tier mythology level, becoming the sixth mythology-level combatant under Song Chi's command, following the Asura Emperor, the Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale, the War Puppet Mother Tree, the Time-Space Netherworld Dragon, and the tenth-tier dragon lizard giant armored beast that Song Chi enslaved again three hundred years ago.

Its form was more majestic and divine than before, with mythical power faintly visible throughout its body. As its eyes opened and closed, it revealed the unique arrogance of the Botian Clan, which was unyielding to the myriad ways of heaven and earth.

Just as Zi Huan stabilized his realm, far away in the Chaos Divine Continent, in the Heavenly Ape Star Realm, at the core of the collapsing [Bo Tian Ruins], the faint Bo Tian Will suddenly fluctuated, conveying a trace of relief and urgent call.

Although Song Chi was unaware of the details, he understood one thing: the Botian Ruins wouldn't last much longer, and it was time to return to the ruins.

Chaotic Divine Continent, Rift Mountain Ancestral City.

Through the transit of the Heavenly Market, Song Chi and Zi Huan, who had already stabilized their cultivation levels, quietly arrived.

At his instruction, Zi Huan used her pure Bo Tian bloodline to actively connect with the Bo Tian will.

Sensing Zi Huan's call, the will of Bo Tian responded quickly. Even though they were separated by hundreds of thousands of light-years, Song Chi could still quickly feel the pulling force that came from endless space and acted on him out of thin air.

Without a doubt, this must be driven by the will of the heavens.

With a glint in his eyes, Song Chi did not hesitate at all. He and Zi Huan both emptied their minds and bodies and did not resist in any way. The next second, they heard a ripple in the void and their figures disappeared from the spot.

In the dark, gray space, Song Chi and Zi Huan slowly emerged. Sensing the familiar yet decaying aura around them, Song Chi confirmed that this place was indeed inside the Bo Tian Ruins.

"Let's go, Zi Huan, to fulfill our final promise."

Through the soul link, Song Chi transmitted instructions to Zi Huan, who had recently been promoted.

At the same time, he took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the void portal in front of him that seemed to have been deliberately created for the two of them.

The next moment, Song Chi and Zi Huan appeared directly in the desolate core area of ​​the [Bo Tian Ruins].

The scene before us was even more desolate than it had been more than 20,000 years ago. The sky was filled with spiderweb-like spatial cracks, the earth was constantly collapsing and turning into nothingness, and the entire ruins were in a state of extremely unstable tremors.

Compared to the calm Song Chi, Zi Huan, sensing the extremely weak Bo Tian Will that originated from the same source in this place, instinctively let out a low and mournful cry.

Sensing the arrival of Zi Huan and Song Chi, the remaining will to fight against the heavens in the center of the ruins once again coalesced, transforming into a blurry phantom.

The phantom's gaze swept over Zi Huan, sensing the pure and powerful mythical-level Heaven-Breaking Bloodline within him, and revealed a deep sense of satisfaction. Clearly, Zi Huan's ability to reach the mythical level in just over 20,000 years far exceeded its expectations.

This also means that Song Chi is genuinely nurturing Zi Huan, and not just doing so because of the agreement they once made.

Immediately afterwards, Song Chi threw out another AI chip, which recorded the current development status of the Bo Tian bloodline branches that he had scattered to various alien spaces in the Shattered Star Sea. Among them were several branches with ninth-order Bo Tian bloodlines in charge, and nearly twenty branches with eighth-order bloodlines. This was definitely more than fulfilling the other party's previous requirements.

Botian Ruins were increasingly satisfied with this.

"The successor...the continuation...the ambition to conquer the heavens..." These fragmented thoughts entered Song Chi and Zi Huan's minds.

At the same time, the collapse of the entire ruins accelerated suddenly. The remaining will of Botian, perhaps having renounced its obsession, began to rapidly decline in its control over the Botian ruins in this short period of time. Fortunately, it managed to hold on in the end and prevented the ruins from collapsing directly.

However, it is foreseeable that after such changes, the collapse of the ruins will be brought forward, perhaps within the next few decades or even a few years.

Before Song Chi could think too much, the Will of Heaven quickly fulfilled its promise and handed over the final gift, the core artifact that had supported the ruins for countless millennia without collapsing, the Chaos Artifact [High-Dimensional Sea], to Song Chi.

Clutching the [High Dimension Sea] tightly, watching the chaotic radiance constantly emanating from the wondrous object, Song Chi was driven by intense anticipation and curiosity to directly view its attribute panel. However, in the end, reason prevailed over curiosity.

His intuition told him that it was best to leave the Botian Ruins as soon as possible and not to linger in the ruins any longer.

As the will of Botian weakens its control over the ruins, every minute, or even a second, that the two of them spend in the ruins could bring forward the complete collapse of the ruins by months, or even a year.

After bidding farewell to the will of Botian, Song Chi, along with a somewhat dejected Zi Huan, left the Botian Ruins and returned to the [Splitter Mountain Ancestral City].

"call!"

As he returned to the [Splitter Mountain Ancestral City], Song Chi breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. However, what he didn't know was that in those few short minutes, the chaotic void where the Botian Ruins were located was experiencing undercurrents and great turmoil.

In the short span of time between Song Chi and Zi Huan's disappearance from the [Splitter Mountain Ancestral City], their being guided into the core of the ruins by the Will of Botian, and their safe return with the chaotic artifact [High Dimension Sea], the entire process was incredibly brief.

In the seemingly silent depths of the void in the Celestial Ape Star Realm, long-hidden undercurrents suddenly erupted.

"Om-"

An invisible wave suddenly spread out from the distorted void where the Botian Ruins were located. This wave was extremely subtle and involved drastic changes in the origin of the ruins and the active decay of their will. However, for those mythical beings who had been waiting and watching here for tens of thousands of years or even longer, it was no different from throwing a boulder into a calm lake.

"The will of the ruins is rapidly weakening!"

"Is the Botian Ruins collapsing at an accelerated rate?"

"What happened? Could there have been an accident inside the ruins?"

Powerful divine thoughts clashed and interacted fiercely in the depths of the void, filled with astonishment and greed.

They waited for endless years, like the most patient hunters, waiting for the ruins to collapse naturally so they could divide up any remaining treasures of the Botian Clan, especially the chaotic artifact that supported the ruins' existence.

Now, they are suddenly being told that the ruins may collapse ahead of schedule. How can this not cause an uproar?

At the same time, it also triggered the hatred and hostility that had accumulated from all sides over countless years.

boom!
A distant void fold suddenly exploded, unleashing a dazzling yet deadly mythical light, scattering fragments of rules. It was a mythical titan that had concealed its form, colliding with a "mythical fire demon" that was trying to forcefully probe the interior of the ruins.

Neither of them were easy to deal with, and this action was like lighting a fuse.

Boom boom boom!
More mythical beings were drawn in, either to test the waters, to eliminate rivals, or simply because they were driven to ferocity by the chaotic energy.

In an instant, this already unstable void transformed into a terrifying battlefield.

Space was torn apart, the flow of time became chaotic, and various mythical-level law domains clashed and annihilated each other.

If both sides hadn't been so concerned about completely destroying the ruins, causing everything to be swallowed up by the void turbulence, the impact would likely have been far greater than it is now.

This sudden and chaotic battle lasted for several days, stirring up a large part of the Heavenly Ape Star Realm and attracting the attention of more forces.

Ultimately, several more ancient and powerful wills intervened.

"enough!"

A majestic will, like a starry decree, forcefully quelled part of the chaos on the battlefield.

"If the fighting continues, it will attract more forces from outside the Heavenly Ape Star Realm to get involved, and then no one will be able to obtain the [High-Dimensional Sea]!"

With the mediation and deterrence of various parties, the fighting has temporarily ceased.

At the same time, all parties quickly reached a consensus and began to intensify their efforts to erode the Botian Ruins.

"Join forces to accelerate the erosion!"

"Can't wait any longer!"

All the forces that reached a consensus, whether they were the Titans, the Eternals, the Abyss Demons, the Starsea Insects, or some solitary ancient myths, temporarily set aside their prejudices.

Terrifying mythical powers, no longer cautiously probing, surged forth from all corners of the void like a raging torrent, frantically assaulting and eroding the already crumbling walls of the Botian Ruins.

The ruins, which had been barely maintained by the will of the heavens and the [High Dimension Sea], began to groan under the sudden increase of the erosive power by ten or even a hundred times.

Snap! Snap!

Inside the ruins, the sky shattered at an alarming rate, with large swathes of void being directly annihilated and turned into chaos.

The earth was no longer collapsing, but rather evaporating and disappearing in large swaths. The remaining phantom of the will to fight against the heavens flickered violently in the core area, emitting a silent sigh and a final stand, but the speed of its flickering was getting faster and faster, and it was already on the verge of completely dissipating.

The final collapse of the Botian Ruins has entered its final countdown.

Meanwhile, Song Chi, the instigator of all this, was currently sitting peacefully in the Heavenly Market, holding the [High-Dimensional Sea] that radiated chaotic light in his palm, completely unaware of the towering waves that had been stirred up in the chaotic void because of him.

He only informed Jiang Yuan and the other three about this chaotic artifact before immediately entering the Heavenly Market, not daring to let it linger outside the market for even a moment longer.

After all, the super powers eyeing this [Chaotic Treasure] are not just a few or a dozen, but many others. He must use the Heavenly Market, which also contains Chaotic Treasures, to conceal and shield it before he can feel completely at ease.
