Chapter 1520: Chapter 767: Mythical Creatures 3
The roar was distinctly deeper than the sound of explosive cannon fire, the kind of dull sensation that no explosion could produce, more like the footsteps of a colossal creature.
But amidst these mountain ranges that span light-years, if it were truly the sound of footsteps, Song Chi could hardly imagine the size of such a being.
Never mind the Star River Ship stretching a million kilometers across, even a superdimensional mother ship extending over a billion kilometers would seem like an ant in its presence.
Song Chi instinctively looked up towards the source of the roar, and within the dense gray mist, a gigantic shadow loomed, appearing and disappearing.
The size of this shadow could truly be described as covering the sky and obstructing the sun, its height even surpassing the surrounding mountain ranges measured in light-years.
Witnessing this scene, the unease in Song Chi’s heart reached its zenith.
Before he could think any further, the gray mist overhead was suddenly torn apart, and a gigantic claw, indescribable in words, tore through the void, enveloping a long trail of space collapse as it descended.
Song Chi wanted to operate the mirror image warship to dodge, yet somehow, the surrounding void seemed entirely solidified, and no matter what commands he gave, the mirror image warship remained immobilized.
Even the “Starlight Flash Spirit Escape,” which had previously played a crucial role many times, seemed completely ineffective at this moment. Its features, such as ignoring spatial blockade, warship binding, forbidden magic domains, and time freeze, appeared as a joke before the spatial suppression of this gigantic claw that exceeded several great ranks.
In the last moment, Song Chi managed to issue one final command.
Activate the [Ruins Market Projection Rank]!
Fortunately, although the owner of this gigantic claw was unimaginably powerful, before the [Zhu Tian Ruins Market], its position still fell a little short.
Before the giant claw could crush the mirror image warship into fragments, the gold [Ruins Market Projection Rank] activated first, pulling the Ethereal Body into the corresponding [Ruins Market Projection Room] in Zhu Tian Ruins Market ahead of time.
Of course, along with it, there was also the gold storage bag forcibly taken into the warship by Song Chi using the replicated [Void Warehouse] when the Purple Mist Dragon Whale broke through the energy field surrounding the body of the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The gigantic claw descended, and irrespective of the ruins market projection or the mirror image warship itself, whether ninth rank or seventh rank, all were instantly crushed.
Having witnessed this firsthand through the ruins market projection, Song Chi momentarily halted his breath. If he had any doubts before, he was now utterly certain that the creature behind this giant claw must be a mythical presence.
Upon reaching this conclusion, and reflecting on how he’d recklessly lingered within the domain of such a terrifying presence for so long, all he felt was overwhelming fear.
Even though he had remained in Zhu Tian Ruins Market the entire time, it was still unsettling.
After all, this was a mythical presence; no one knew if it possessed any extraordinary abilities.
For a mythical rank eternal creature, it might be impossible to harm him directly through Zhu Tian Ruins Market, but it could certainly cause some sort of injury.
In any case, Zhu Tian Ruins Market was still merely eighth rank.
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi quickly calmed down and returned once more to the Immortal Realm Continent.
Of course, he did not return to the Immortal Tomb Mountain Range, but rather to Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s main body. Once he summoned Cang Qiong back, he immediately returned to the market, unwilling to linger in the Immortal Realm Continent Ruins for even a moment longer.
As for the eighth rank Void Demon, Song Chi directly had it return via the [Ruins Market Projection Rank].
’Before I have the confidence to face mythical creatures, I will never set foot on the Immortal Realm Continent again!’
Soon after returning to the market, Song Chi internally vowed.
No matter that Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has now advanced to a Star River Ship, he would never rashly go to the Immortal Realm Continent again.
The past is the past; had he known of the mythical creature at the ruins of the Immortal Realm Continent, he would never have ventured there.
Mythical creatures truly stand at the pinnacle of the food chain in the Shattered Starry Sea, possessing eternal life, and for them, adjusting the laws of nature or moving mountains and seas are merely trivial means. It’s said that mythical beings attuned to the way of time can freely traverse the endless River of Time, to whom time is but a plaything.
Once noticed by such an invisible, indescribable, and inconceivable being, life and death would be entirely out of one’s hands.
Facing such a presence, Song Chi sought to keep his distance yet feared getting close. How could he recklessly stumble into it?
Thankfully, it isn’t too late now, and at least he has never revealed himself in front of it. With the added position of Zhu Tian Ruins Market, even mythical creatures might find it difficult to lock onto his presence without any basis.
With this thought, his mind shifted again.
Immortal Realm Continent Ruins, Immortal Tomb Mountain Range.
From high up in the vault of heaven, looking down into the depths of the mountain range, one could distinctly see the massive handprint traces.
But at this moment, the mirror image warship that had previously shattered reappeared.
The “Nine-Life Life and Death Chess” feature of the [Time Chess Board], which was not yet exhausted, allowed the mirror image warship to be reborn once more in full strength.
This change once again attracted the attention of the gigantic shadow in the mountain depths, but this time, before it could make another move, the mirror image warship vanished from the mountain range by itself.
It didn’t flee using the flash escape, but Song Chi, within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, actively deactivated the effects of the mirror image warship.
If he reacted quickly enough, he could potentially escape the Immortal Tomb Mountain Range using the speed features of the [Purusa Zen Seal] in conjunction with a [Space Jump Device] or a [Red Vault Jump Device], taking advantage of the interval when the mysterious creature behind the giant claw had withdrawn its gaze.
However, Song Chi didn’t hesitate and directly rejected this plan.
His thinking was simple; even if he did escape, what assurance did he have that the mythical creature wasn’t deliberately allowing the mirror image warship to leave, with the purpose of waiting for him to come over to reclaim it?
Cutting off all possible opportunities for being observed by the other party is the safest method.
Even if deactivating the mirror image warship now means he cannot replicate the Colorful Extreme Position’s [Time Chess Board] when he summons it again, he has no regrets.
