Chapter 1075: Chapter 569: Hunting the Ancient Mother Empress (End)

Song Chi’s guess was correct; the Ancient Mother Empress had chosen as her secondary target of rage the Dominator King Worm that had previously been banished into the void by Song Wujiang.

As the Dominator King Worm descended into fury, the recently repaired spatial rift began to reappear gradually. Clearly, the already brief banishment period was once again being shortened.

On the low-altitude Floating Land, after withstanding a direct strike from the main cannon of [Dinghai Dragon Steed], the Ancient Mother Empress’s hulking body was torn open, leaving a significant wound. Though not fatal, it ultimately inflicted immense pain upon her.

Not giving [Dinghai Dragon Steed] another chance to injure her, the Ancient Mother Empress emitted an overwhelming energy wave from her swollen body—a concentrated release of high-purity Life Energy she had extracted and stored from previous mass absorptions, specifically as a contingency resource.

With the rapid release of Life Energy, a semicircular Energy Shield materialized above the Ancient Mother Empress, enveloping her entirely.

This was yet another Heritage Divine Skill of the Ancient Mother Empress from the Starry Sky Insect Race—Life Crystal Barrier.

The Life Crystal Barrier possessed formidable defenses; it was considered the Ancient Mother Empress’s signature survival ability.

In the skies above, another main cannon loaded onto [Dinghai Dragon Steed] reached full charge, firing a searing energy beam.

The beam struck the semicircular Life Crystal Barrier below, but the result only sparked harmless ripples across its surface.

For a moment, Song Wujiang felt at a complete loss.

Meanwhile, the Dominator King Worm banished into the void grew increasingly defiant. It was evident that total escape was only a matter of time.

The situation for the Song Family members was becoming more precarious.

Within the domain of Pusuo Time Realm, Song Chi’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the [Time Chess Board], a colorful upper-level component.

Originally, he had no intention of deploying this Mythical component due to its excessively long cooldown time; now, however, he had no choice.

With a single thought, seven-colored brilliance radiated within the warship.

[Time Chess Board]·”Time·Chess Game,” activated!

After the dazzling flash, an ultimate burst of Divine Power surged out from Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with no room for the Black Scorpion King Worm ahead to react.

The stars tilted, and the space warped.

Both Song Chi and the Black Scorpion King Worm had the same fleeting thought: as everything twisted in a whirlwind of indescribable chaos, the warship and the worm were simultaneously drawn into a vast high-dimensional space by the overwhelming Divine Power of time.

However, there was a stark difference between them. As the host to the [Time Chess Board], Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong remained energetically intact, while the Black Scorpion King Worm—previously over ten thousand kilometers in length—was now compressed to merely a hundred kilometers. Furthermore, its combat prowess had been forcibly reduced to Sixth Rank status.

As the originator of the ability’s activation, Song Chi was unsurprised. The moment the “Time·Chess Game” feature took effect, he immediately activated multiple components installed in the warship.

[Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb]·”Four-fold Projection”

[Blood Spear]·”Hunting God’s Weakness Mark”

[Black Hole Evolution Layer]·”Singularity Rapid Explosion”

[Blood Spear]·”Blood Judgment”

[Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits]·”Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings”

[Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform]·”True Immortal Quantum Sword Light”

[Tianyu Slaying God Cannon]·”Heavenly Slaying God”

Humming!

Spatial turbulence erupted on both sides of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, followed by two warship phantoms emerging concurrently.

Instantly, five warships aimed their collective firepower at the combat-suppressed Sixth Rank Black Scorpion King Worm, their sterns brimming with concentrated Divine Light.

At that moment, the Black Scorpion King Worm felt a chillingly immense threat of death, instinctively trying to evade. However, the first beam of golden light from Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong immobilized it entirely.

Previously, the “Zen Seal: External Time Stop” would have only held it stationary for three to four seconds. But now that its Life Energy position had been forcibly reduced to Sixth Rank by Time Divine Power, the Time Stop effect doubled in duration.

Moreover, the effects of “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” compounded the situation, and a second golden beam of Time Stop closely followed. Consequently, the Black Scorpion King Worm was trapped in a Time Stop State for a full fourteen seconds. With the added immobilization effect from [Heavenly Frost Crown]’s “Frost Cold Immobilization,” the worm was frozen entirely in its position until all five warships completed their weapon charging.

Life Energy, Quantum Sword Light, Annihilation Arrows, Black Hole Rapid Explosion… these catastrophic attacks converged at a single point, delivering unimaginable damage.

Even at a distance of nearly two hundred thousand kilometers, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was forced into a micro neutron star to endure the residual shock of energy inside the high-dimensional space constructed by Time Divine Power, barely avoiding being engulfed by the violent energy blast.

As for the outer domain, neither the King Worms nor the remaining Song Family members could see anything but the sudden disappearance of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the Black Scorpion King Worm. Mere seconds later, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong abruptly reappeared, yet the Dominator-level Black Scorpion King Worm had already silently transformed into a lifeless corpse.

Song Chi had no time to explain nor the ability to do so.

[Time Chess Board] was a component of enormous significance—a colorful upper-quality Strange Object of time. If word of it ever spread, even colossal immortal gates like Xian Qin’s Shangdang Shang Family, spanning over two hundred thousand years of heritage, would be driven to madness.
