Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1518: Chapter 767: Mythical Creatures

Thump, thump, thump!

As the projection of Ruins Market Purple Mist Energy rapidly gathered, the sound of collisions from the blood-colored coffin became increasingly urgent.

Until it exceeded a certain limit, the blood-colored coffin, clearly of extraordinary material, began to tremble and intensified over time.

Boom!

At one moment, the blood-colored coffin suddenly shattered, and the originally intact blood-colored Immortal Gold instantly broke into pieces, scattering across the mountain space.

Song Chi’s gaze never focused on the shattered coffin; for the once Immortal Domain Civilization, or even for many civilizations of the Endless Star Sea, it might hold great value, but for a Torch Ship Captain, it was merely one of many types of mineral material.

After the blood-colored coffin shattered, his gaze was fixed on the figure lying inside... or more precisely, on the human-shaped shadow above.

It was a man whose physical form was still like that of an ordinary Star Sea Human; his eyes were tightly closed, a White Jade Crown on his head, a deep blue robe with white cloud patterns embroidered on it, and golden threads flashing at the hem. Even lying there silently, he still maintained dignity and authority.

If Song Chi hadn’t known that the Immortal Domain Civilization had perished for hundreds of thousands of years, he might have thought the time of death for this corpse couldn’t be more than a millennia ago.

However, Song Chi was not deceived by the attire and demeanor of this corpse; he immediately discerned the incongruity in this corpse belonging to the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch deep within the Immortal Tomb.

The Heavenly Destiny Immortal Sect was a giant power of the Immortal Domain Civilization, and anyone worthy of using the code name "Heavenly Destiny" would definitely not be some insignificant figure.

According to Song Chi’s own opinion, this Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s peak power was at least at the Golden Immortal level, akin to an Eighth Rank Dominator of the Shattered Starry Sea, and there was even a good chance it was one of the Great Powers at Daluo Golden Immortal (Ninth Rank) level.

Yet since the moment the blood-colored coffin shattered, he had not sensed any oppressive presence from this corpse throughout.

Logically speaking, for an Eighth or Ninth Rank being to die, as long as their physical body remains left intact, based on their exceptionally high Life Hierarchy, their body should remain extremely well-preserved even after hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Even if a significant portion of energy is lost for various reasons, it would never end up like this.

Remember earlier, that Chasing Fate Immortal was merely a Tribulation Crossing True Immortal (Seventh Rank); after hundreds of thousands of years, his body still retained most of its energy.

Indeed, without the tombstone explicitly indicating this was the "Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s Immortal Tomb," he would truly suspect this corpse was merely an ordinary Fifth or Sixth Rank cultivator.

...

While doubts arose, the Ethereal Body’s gaze constantly shifted over this Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s corpse devoid of any energy fluctuations, around the waist area.

There hung a delicate golden pouch.

If guessed correctly, this should be the storage bag of the Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch, inside of which is the other part of the Heavenly Destiny Compass he was seeking.

Just as thoughts raced through his mind, the corpse of the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch, which moments ago showed no energy fluctuations, abruptly sat up.

This sudden movement caused Song Chi’s eye to twitch sharply.

However, the previous eerie collision sound of the blood-colored coffin had long alerted him, coupled with the Ruins Market Purple Mist Projection fully congealed above the Mirror Image Warship, allowing Song Chi to quickly regain composure.

No matter what situation this Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s corpse might be in, a purple mist hand seal emerged from the Ruins Market Projection, striking down towards the interior of the Immortal Tomb.

No matter what happens, the growing sense of foreboding is undeniable. Song Chi’s current thought is simple: grab the storage bag from the corpse and leave the Immortal Tomb Mountain Range quickly.

The purple mist hand seal pressed downward rapidly, with the gray mist energy around it continuing its fierce erosion. Fortunately, the current Ruins Market Projection possesses real Ninth Rank battle power, making the gray mist’s eerie and strong erosive nature unable to significantly affect the purple mist hand seal in a short time.

Along the path of the purple mist hand seal’s descent, the gray mist spreads to the sides. Just as the hand seal reached above the half-upright Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s corpse, sensing the threat from the Ruins Market Projection, the tomb’s corpse swiftly reacted with a subsequent move.

His eyes, which had been tightly shut, abruptly opened, and at this moment, the previously aura-less body surged with intense energy fluctuations.

First Rank

Third Rank

Fifth Rank

...

In just an instant, the pressure emanating from this Immortal Monarch’s corpse directly soared to a terrifying Ninth Rank.

It’s certain that within this short period, a substantial change occurred within the seemingly motionless body of the Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch, though the outer appearance gave no clear indication of the reasons.

However, Song Chi was certain that this corpse was not the Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch from hundreds of thousands of years ago; it was highly likely controlled by some unknown force after his death.

Perhaps not only this Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch but within this entire Immortal Tomb Mountain Range, spanning hundreds of light-years, all buried beings might very likely be in such a situation.

As for Song Chi’s reasoning?

It’s precisely the familiar gray energy seen in the eyes of the Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s corpse at this moment.

Unsurprisingly, this is the source of the pervasive gray mist above the Immortal Tomb Mountain Range.

Of course, based solely on the single Beichen Heavenly Destiny Immortal Monarch’s corpse, such a massive scale of gray mist couldn’t have been congealed, which only leaves his earlier speculation as the evident conclusion.
