Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1026 - 538: The Giant Hand Across the Stars

To be honest, with the current methods available, and the luxurious configuration of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, even if a Seventh Rank Seven-star Ancient Demon Dominator arrives, Song Chi wouldn’t be overly worried. At the very least, he has some confidence in making a full retreat.

What Song Chi is truly concerned about are Seventh Rank Peak or even Eighth Star level Ancient Demon Supreme Divine Skills. Against such grand beings, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong still faces considerable risk of sinking.

Although this Fifth Level Floating Land is connected to a Seventh Level Floating Land, who can definitively say that there wouldn’t be an Eighth Star Ancient Demon holding dominion over the Seventh Level Floating Land?

Just like this Fifth Level Floating Land underfoot, isn’t it also guarded by two Six-star Ancient Demons?

Thinking of this, Song Chi made a decision in his heart.

He quickly opened the warship’s cabin door, summoning two Fifth Rank Robber Star Race members. In addition, he retrieved two Storage Capsules and two Ruins Market Walking Ranks.

"You two stay here. Once the Titanium Crystal is mined, immediately use the Travel Command to send it to the Ruins Market!"

After instructing the two Fifth Rank Robber Star Race members, Song Chi did not linger further. He recalled the Six-star Ancient Demon and then had the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong soar upward, heading toward the Ancient Demon King City.

After collecting all the Puppet Soldiers, Song Chi no longer hesitated. He piloted the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to activate the conventional jump of the Red Vault Jump Device.

In the starry sky thirteen thousand light-years away from the Ancient Demon Clan’s Fifth Level Floating Land, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong revealed its form.

Confirming that he had jumped over ten thousand light-years, Song Chi’s tense spiritual state finally began to relax.

The "Red Vault Jump" Feature’s charging time requires nearly three times that of a conventional jump. Song Chi dared not gamble that reinforcement from the Seventh Level Floating Land’s Ancient Demon Clan might not arrive during the charging process. Thus, he opted to activate the conventional jump first, aiming to quickly escape the Fifth Level Floating Land.

Now, having jumped beyond ten thousand light-years, Song Chi naturally had no further concerns. He directly activated the "Red Vault Jump" Feature.

While charging, Song Chi tried communicating with the two Fifth Rank Robber Star Race members left on the Fifth Level Floating Land, inquiring about the progress of mining the vein.

"Is the Floating Land currently safe? The Titanium Crystal..."

But before he could finish his "Mind Sound Transmission," he heard the urgent voice of the Robber Star Race.

"Master, an Ancient Demon Dominator has descended!!"

Song Chi’s pupils contracted slightly, and a sense of urgency surged within him.

However, this concern was not for his personal safety but rather for whether the two Fifth Rank Robber Star Race members could bring back those tens of thousands of Titanium Crystals.

Ancient Demon Dominators have an extraordinarily terrifying sense of perception. Although the Fifth Level Life Floating Land spans nearly one light-year, if the Ancient Demon Dominator fully deploys its search capabilities, or possesses specialized detection components, the chances of being discovered are not low.

Before Song Chi could continue his thoughts, another Mind Sound Transmission from the other Fifth Rank Robber Star Race member sent a shiver down his spine.

"Master, the Ancient Demon Dominator did not linger inside the Floating Land. Upon its arrival, it immediately rushed out of the Floating Land. It’s very likely in pursuit..."

The message hadn’t even been fully communicated before Song Chi found he no longer had the heart to listen further. The starry sky behind the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was already reverberating with intense spatial and energy fluctuations.

Turning his head to look, he saw an unimaginably massive giant hand extending out from a gigantic spatial fissure torn into the starry expanse behind him. The hand, imbued with an overwhelming aura, swept horizontally forward.

Visibly, this hand, spanning over ten thousand kilometers in scale, was drawing closer with astonishing speed. As it swept across, spatial collapses trailed in its wake, space fissures merely serving as an ancillary effect.

"An Eighth Star Ancient Demon attacking across the starry sky?"

Song Chi couldn’t definitively determine the level of the monstrous giant hand’s master. It might be a Seven-star Ancient Demon or possibly an Eighth Star, as the strength of Ancient Demons cannot be judged merely by their size.

Records indicate that Seven-star Ancient Demons exceeding millions of kilometers in size are quite common, with even larger entities existing.

This wasn’t the focus of Song Chi’s thoughts, though. All he could think of was one thing: doing everything in his power to ensure the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s safe escape.

"Faster... go faster!"

Seeing that giant Ancient Demon hand rapidly approaching from behind, Song Chi hoped only for the "Red Vault Jump" charging progress to quicken.

Meanwhile, his mind raced, his hands operating a myriad of systems.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was equipped with many components, and Song Chi had to maximize their use to ensure the warship’s safety.

The first system he activated was the "Pusuo Time Realm" Feature of the [Purusa Zen Seal] Component.

As the golden-level Seventh Rank Time Domain Feature deployed, time across a vast region of the surrounding Star Domain slowed by ten times. At the moment of activation, the Ancient Demon Dominator’s hand did show a brief pause, but it was short-lived and quickly resumed, becoming entirely unaffected.

"Possessing a high-level time resistance-type Starry Sea Oddity? This really is..."

Song Chi’s complexion grew severe. Even the "Pusuo Time Realm" proving ineffective cast a shadow over his heart.

But he quickly suppressed it. Instead, he hurriedly activated two more components.

[Divine Binding Chains] - "Void Divine Binding"

[Space Lock Seal] - "Heavenly Prison Chains"

Two chains emerged from the void, striking out from two different directions to precisely entangle the colossal stellar hand.

The result, however, was as expected: both chains shattered consecutively, failing to hinder the Ancient Demon’s hand in the slightest.
