High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

A third of the ship's hull was covered by dark red flames and billowing black smoke, and its bow pointed directly at the enormous purple planet below.

The planet has a diameter of 30,000 kilometers, and its atmosphere has a soft, pale purple hue. Its surface is covered with large areas of dark purple vegetation and light purple water, making it appear as a meticulously maintained planet.

But now that pale purple atmosphere is being stirred up by the falling giant ship, and the high temperature generated by the friction between the bow and the atmosphere is forming a gradually expanding circle of incandescent white light on the planet's surface.

The giant ship wasn't falling fast; it was too big, and its inertia was so great that even planetary gravity couldn't accelerate it rapidly, but it was falling.

Based on this rate of descent, the colossal ship, spanning thousands of kilometers, will crash into the atmosphere of the purple planet in a few hours.

If the angle of descent remains constant, it will scrape along the edge of the atmosphere and carve a strip of ruins across the planet's surface.

If the angle were slightly downward, the entire ship would crash directly into the Earth's surface. The impact energy would blast a crater thousands of kilometers in diameter into this 30,000-kilometer-diameter planet, and the ejected material would fly out of the atmosphere, forming a debris ring in near-Earth orbit.

Song Chen scanned the ship with his Eye of Truth and found that at least half of its propulsion system was broken.

The sides of the ship are covered with large holes corroded by the organic acids of the blood-corroding organisms, the largest of which is more than one kilometer in diameter.

The metal edges of the opening exhibited a honeycomb-like structure, as if it had been slowly digested, and tiny sparks were still drifting outwards.

Most of the lights inside the ship were turned off, with only a few areas still lit by scattered red and silver emergency lights.

But in those vast areas of darkness, the Eye of Truth detected a dense array of psionic signals.

The signals from the blood-corroding creatures were dense and numerous, filling every deck, corridor, and cabin of the giant ship like maggots.

The number was so large that Song Chen could not count it precisely, but estimated it to be at least several million.

At the very center of these millions of blood-corroding biological signals, one signal overshadowed all the others.

The intensity of that life force far exceeded that of any seventh-tier being he had ever seen, and even far exceeded the sum of the three peak seventh-tier beings with 90 million health points on KG-11, multiplied by several times.

That aura contained fluctuations of star source power, which was incomparable to his simulated pseudo-radius; it was a true star-radius realm life form.

"What the hell..." Song Chen muttered, reducing the Shadow Bee's propulsion to a minimum, keeping the spaceship hovering at a safe distance from the crash trajectory of the giant ship.

He activated a nearby quantum communication network, preparing to retrieve intelligence from the area.

The information on the screen was refreshed hundreds of times in just a few seconds.

[Urgent Request for Assistance] The 7th Defence Fleet of the Moonshadow Civilization has been attacked by a high-level force of the Blood Erosion Civilization. The flagship "Purple Moon" has been severely damaged and is currently re-entering the planet's atmosphere. Requesting assistance.

[Urgent Request for Assistance] The Blood-Corroded Creatures have breached decks seven through fourteen of the Purple Moon's third garrison. The energy chamber's protective layer is about to be breached. Requesting assistance.

[Urgent Request for Assistance] The Moonshadow Second Trade Fleet has been ambushed 1.2 light-years from the crash site of the Purple Moon.

[Urgent Request for Assistance] The Blood-Eroded Creatures have breached the external defenses of the Moonshadow Fourth Industrial Satellite.

……

Information scrolls across the screen like a waterfall.

Song Chen flipped through a dozen pages and discovered that at least two hundred skirmishes of varying scales had broken out simultaneously in the outer regions of the Moonshadow Civilization.

This puzzled him. Wasn't it said that the main force of the Blood Erosion Civilization had been driven back, and all that remained was to wipe out the remnants?

But this ship in front of us is home to a Star Crown-level life form and millions of Blood Erosion troops, whose elite status clearly exceeds what a "remnant" should be.

Moreover, the simultaneous outbreak of battle across the entire civilization resembles an organized and premeditated full-scale counterattack.

At this moment, the Shadow Bee's shipboard communication system was directly connected.

A holographic image was projected directly in front of the cockpit, but the signal in the image was extremely unstable, flickering intermittently.

The image shows a Moonshadow Clan woman dressed in a deep purple military uniform. She has several silver-gray bloodstains on her face, her left eye is wrapped in a simple bandage, and the crystalline luster in her right eye is pulsating violently.

"This is Captain Yuekui of the Purple Moon. I'm calling the messenger who just received the distress signal. Have you arrived at the battlefield yet?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Chen replied, "I have arrived at the battlefield."

Overjoyed, Yuekui exclaimed, "Powerful one from afar! The Purple Moon can't hold on any longer; its energy pods have been captured. We beg your help to reclaim them!"

"There are 100,000 civilians and countless rare gene banks on board. If this ship crashes on this planet, half the planet's ecosystem will be destroyed!"

Song Chen changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Don't thank me yet, answer one question first."

"I sensed a Star-Crown-level Blood-Erosion lifeform on the ship. Previous intelligence said that all the high-level Blood-Erosion creatures in this area should have retreated. Why are there so many now?"

Yuekui paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, I really don't know."

"According to the battle report sent from above, the main force of the Blood Erosion Civilization has retreated to at least sixty light-years away, leaving only some low-level remnants who failed to keep up with the main force's retreat on the outskirts."

"But for some reason, the Blood Erosion Force suddenly appeared from four directions of the Moonshadow Civilization at the same time, far exceeding expectations, and the number of high-level combatants was outrageous."

"Our reconnaissance fleet was completely wiped out, and our garrison was also routed."

"These blood-corroding creatures seemed to appear out of thin air; we received no warning whatsoever."

Song Chen's initial unease turned into a heavy feeling. It wasn't a big deal that the defense line had been breached; it was possible that the main force could retreat and then launch a counterattack. But this kind of sudden attack from multiple points simultaneously was definitely suspicious.

He felt that the battle was probably not as simple as the reports suggested, but he didn't have time to analyze the entire battle situation of the Moonshadow Civilization; he had a more specific problem at hand.

He could already sense that the Star Crown-level life form was approaching him.

Song Chen spoke again: "Captain Moonsun, does this ship have anything capable of dealing with that Star Crown-class lifeform? Are you confident you can take it down?"

Moon Sunflower immediately nodded: "The Purple Moon has three planet-destroying cannons. The main cannon is damaged, and the two secondary cannons are located on both sides of the hull. As long as we can recapture the energy chamber and reconnect the energy pipelines, any one of the secondary cannons can blast away a Star Crown-class life form with a single shot."

"The energy output of the Star Destroyer Cannon is close to the ninth level, which a Star Crown-class weapon simply cannot withstand."

Song Chen did the math: there was an energy capsule, two secondary cannons, and a Star Crown-class enemy inside the ship.

The plan is to first recapture the energy capsule, then activate the secondary cannon and take out the opponent in one shot. This plan is feasible, but we need to solve one problem first: the opponent will not let him recapture the energy capsule smoothly.

During the few dozen seconds he spoke with Yuekui, the life force of that Star Crown level had already approached from mid-range to very close range.

He looked out through the porthole of the Shadow Bee and saw dozens of large, blood-corroding creatures emerging from a hole hundreds of meters in diameter on the side of the giant ship. They merged together to form a terrifying humanoid entity.

"In that case, Yuekui, I'm probably stuck here. You send someone to retrieve the energy pod, and I'll hold it off."

"Once the energy pod is activated, aim the cannon at me."

Why?

"Don't worry about me, I can handle it."
