Global Era of Star trekking

After his pupils violently trembled, Song Chi quickly recovered.

Although through the perspective of the Bumblebee drone, he indeed witnessed a shocking scene, the fact at hand was that he was under the Spatial Veil, and everything in the space above was isolated from him.

Most importantly, he had not yet exposed himself, nor had he alarmed the creature above; in other words, he was in the dark, while the other was in the light.

With this in mind, he calmed his spirit and once again shifted half of his focus back to the Bumblebee drone.

Compared to the second layer of the ruins, the third layer's space was much larger, with both length and width exceeding five kilometers. Although it was not as vast as the first layer, it still constituted a considerable space.

However, at this moment, there was a colossal being in this space.

Right in the center of the space, near the small Crystal Box, lay a grotesquely bloated creature, its entire body wrapped in dazzling purple crystal skin, and its massive abdomen resting on the ground.

This purple crystal insect's size was monstrous, with a length reaching one kilometer, almost one-fifth of this third-level space. But what was most crucial was its abdomen, swollen to the extreme. From the Bumblebee drone's perspective, it resembled a giant balloon, trembling occasionally as if it would burst at any moment.

"Is this also... a Queen Insect?"

He muttered softly, but Song Chi soon shook his head. Read latest chapters at empire

"No, it's not the Queen... this is the Broodmother!"

Arriving at this conclusion, Song Chi's heart gradually sank.

The Broodmother, a more terrifying existence than the Queen Insect. Moreover, given the current size of this Broodmother, could it have been an even higher rank at some point?

The Broodmother had been thoroughly described in textbooks as a being in the Insect Race more fearsome than the Queen Insect by tenfold, a hundredfold.

Generally speaking, only a very small fraction of Queen Insects have the potential to advance to Broodmothers. After the promotion, not only do they have a higher growth limit, but their spiritual power is also much stronger, allowing for more precise control of their subordinate Insect Race and the ability to cultivate and breed a wider variety of insects than the Queen.

Furthermore, with the defensive strength of the Broodmother's unique purple crystal skin being unparalleled, it could be said that among all beings of the same rank in the Starry Sea, the Broodmother's combat power and difficulty to handle were absolutely top-tier.

"This is troublesome, it's actually a Broodmother, and a Third Rank Level Broodmother at that!"

Song Chi's face was grave, with a hint of gloominess.

The Broodmother itself wasn't the frightening part; it was the countless insect eggs stored inside its bloated abdomen like a giant balloon, and its terrifyingly defensive purple crystal skin. If the battle couldn't be resolved quickly, he would inevitably be drawn into a war of attrition against their swarming tactics.

With this in mind, Song Chi knew he couldn't rush. He suppressed his emotions and while managing the Bumblebee drone to monitor the situation in the space above, he began to think rapidly about various countermeasures and whether Cang Qiong was qualified for the battle.

Minutes later, the Cang Qiong, hovering below the Spatial Veil, began to take action; at the bow, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon started to gather brilliance, commencing its charge.

Sure enough, Song Chi's final decision was to take action.

As for the reason, it was quite straightforward: he had the element of surprise, and if the first strike could inflict enough damage, with the combination of the Third Rank Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator and the Third Rank Electromagnetic Ray Cannon, he believed Cang Qiong had the capacity to fight.

Moreover, even if they ended up defeated, the now Third Rank enhanced Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine would ensure Cang Qiong had enough maneuverability to make a full retreat.

Dozens of seconds later, a hundred-meter Sword Intent Divine Light had already formed in front of Cang Qiong. Right, there was only one chance for a surprise attack, so naturally, Song Chi directly used the strongest attack method aboard Cang Qiong.

Just a second before the Sword Intent Divine Light solidified completely, Cang Qiong's engine roared, and the warship positioned below the Spatial Veil suddenly shot upward.

Pop!

The moment the warship pierced through the Spatial Veil, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon at the bow immediately erupted.

Whoosh!

Amid the sharp wail of the Sword Intent, the Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light roared out. It had just fired one second before, but in the next second, it had already traversed thousands of kilometers of distance, striking right above the Third Rank purple crystal Broodmother.

Hiss!

How powerful was the Third Rank Broodmother's spiritual power? At the instant Cang Qiong passed through the Spatial Veil, it sensed something immediately—had it not been in deep slumber for years, even the previous Bumblebee drone might not have gone undetected.

However, compared to the already fully charged Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light, its reaction was slower. Before it could respond further, the Divine Light had already crossed the thousands of kilometers and bombarded the purple crystal skin atop its head.

Boom!

In an instant, violent Third Rank energy fluctuations, centered on the Broodmother's head, surged outward fiercely.

Mixed with it were the Broodmother's shrill screams.

After the first strike, Song Chi did not hesitate: with the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon entering a buffering phase, he rapidly fired the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon, hurling Electromagnetic Thunderballs roughly a meter in diameter continuously towards the Broodmother thousands of kilometers away.

In this way, the entire third layer of the ruins was engulfed in the roar of cannons, with lightning and sword shadows intertwined, illuminating the already small space completely.

Inside Cang Qiong, Song Chi, while distractedly controlling the warship to roam near the entrance area below the Spatial Veil, kept firing the main and auxiliary cannons. At the same time, he spared a part of his spiritual power carefully observing the state of the Third Rank Broodmother.
