The Fallen Starry Sky Giant Beast

"Keep firing! Keep bombarding the wound on its side!" Gu Ding knew that with the Crimson Blood Beast's speed, his group had no chance of escaping and could only fight to the death.

Sea Emperor, controlling the Titan Battleship, continued to bombard the Crimson Blood Beast's wounds while fleeing, using his fivefold energy to relentlessly attack. Although the Crimson Blood Beast's defenses had strengthened, the continuous bombardment still widened the wounds. Even so, the Crimson Blood Beast's advance showed no signs of slowing down; the continuous bombardment did not hinder its progress in the slightest.

"Under subconscious control, its brain shielded itself from pain, and the potential of every cell in its body was pushed to the limit, which is why it became dozens of times stronger." While Sea Emperor's explanation addressed part of the issue, it still did not offer a solution.

"Can the Energy Gathering Mirror withstand even more energy?" Gu Ding knew that the five-fold energy focusing was no longer very effective, and he wanted to continue to increase the intensity of the attack, so he asked Robert, who had returned to the energy pod, through the communicator.

"Theoretically, it's still okay. I just checked the stability of the Energy Gathering Mirror. It can work very stably under the fifth level of energy focusing. If we want to operate it under overload, it shouldn't be a big problem at the seventh level." Robert also knew that now was not the time to consider the stability. If the attack strength was not enough, everyone would die if the Crimson Blood Beast caught up.

"Add it!" Gu Ding gave the order decisively once again.

Sea Emperor added another Titan Cannon, enhancing the Energy Gathering Mirror to its sixth level of amplification. Three consecutive shots were fired, all aimed at the Crimson Blood Beast's bleeding wound. In the projected image, everyone could clearly see that the wound had grown even larger.

"Upgrade to the seventh level!" Gu Ding shouted, his eyes gleaming.

Sea Emperor added another Titan Cannon, finally increasing the Energy Gathering Mirror's effect to the seventh level. It was still aimed at the Crimson Blood Beast's wounds and fired.

The artillery barrage continued for four or five times, but it failed to hinder the Crimson Blood Beast's advance in the slightest. However, the Crimson Blood Beast was getting closer and closer to the Titan Warship.

"At most half an hour. We'll be within the attack range of that Crimson Blood Beast." The Sea Emperor calculated the speed difference between the spaceship and the Crimson Blood Beast. This brought bad news.

"Upgrade to the eighth level!" Gu Ding clenched his fists, a growing tension settling in. He knew all too well that if he couldn't stop the Crimson Blood Beast's onslaught, his entire army would be wiped out. Such a colossal creature, once within its attack range, could easily swallow a nearly 20,000-meter-long Titan Battleship whole in a single swallowing motion.

Although the Energy Gathering Mirror became unstable after reaching the seventh level, it was clear that the energy gathering at the seventh level was not enough to stop the Crimson Blood Beast, so Gu Ding had no choice but to continue increasing the intensity of his attack.

"If all else fails, let's abandon the spaceship and escape," Liliath suggested.

"It's no use. The Crimson Blood Beast targets flesh and blood energy. As long as the body isn't fully energized, it will become its target no matter where we escape to. If we escape the spaceship, it will know we're not on board." Fa Te also had some knowledge of this kind of Starry Sky Giant Beast.

"Fa Te is right." Gu Ding had mentioned this idea to the Sea Emperor before, but it was immediately rejected by the Sea Emperor.

Sea Emperor continued to control the eighth Titan Cannon, redirecting its firepower. The combined barrage from all eight Titan Cannon focused on the Energy Gathering Mirror atop the ship, condensing into a beam of light that shot towards the depths of the heavens.

In the scene, the Crimson Blood Beast was struck again. The wound that was originally not far from its pectoral fins was now deep enough to expose the bone, and blood kept seeping out. But the Crimson Blood Beast was still like a madman, completely ignoring everything, frantically rushing through the void at an undiminished speed.

"Keep attacking, widen that wound as much as possible!" Gu Ding knew that this Crimson Blood Beast was so powerful that it was impossible to shatter its bones; the only way was to enlarge the wound. In a state of rapid movement, it would lose a lot of blood; the larger the wound, the more blood it would lose, and the weaker it would become.

"Under the eighth level, the Energy Gathering Mirror has become unstable and probably won't be able to hold for much longer," Sea Emperor warned.

"We have less than half an hour left. We'll hold out for as long as we can!" Gu Ding remained resolute.

Sea Emperor did not refute. He knew that Gu Ding's words made sense. Now, in order to protect the Energy Gathering Mirror, reducing the attack intensity would only slow down the rate at which the Crimson Blood Beast's wounds would expand. But at this moment, what everyone lacked most was time, and they could not worry about anything else.

Eight layers of artillery fire were unleashed in quick succession. The wound on the Crimson Blood Beast, originally nearly a hundred meters long, was stretched to two hundred meters, then three hundred meters... by the onslaught.

Time passed second by second. At this point, the Crimson Blood Beast only needed less than ten minutes to catch up with the Titan Warship. Its wounds had been stretched to nearly a thousand meters by the continuous bombardment, and blood gushed out like an unstoppable faucet.

"The Starry Sky Giant Beast is just too powerful..." Liliath sighed as she watched the Crimson Blood Beast, which showed no signs of slowing down, approach. She knew that no matter what she did, it was too late to turn the tide.

"I never imagined that I, a man determined to become the richest man in the entire Universe Sea, would perish in the mouth of a Starry Sky Giant Beast." Fa Te's initial fear turned into resentment.

"If I don't die this time, I will definitely add the Starry Sky Giant Beast to my menu. This Crimson Blood Beast will definitely be the first dish in my Starry Sky Giant Beast menu!" Bigge stared intently at the enormous creature projected on the screen, one hand gripping the hilt of his sword, causing the blade at his waist to clang.

Upon hearing Bigge's words, Tagore licked his lips, his eyes shining.

"To slay Starry Sky Giant Beast single-handedly is something even a typical Peak-rank God couldn't do," Fa Te said dismissively. "Even the weakest Starry Sky Giant Beast has defenses comparable to a seven-star Peak-rank God. To kill them, one must at least break through the first Godly Barrier. But there are nine barriers in total, and only those who have reached the Peak-rank God Pinnacle and are skilled in attack— One-Star Prodigy— can break through the first barrier. Even Forbidden King needs at least the cultivation of Peak-rank God to have a chance of slaying Starry Sky Giant Beast. Although your team has Forbidden King, you were ultimately unlucky. Now that I think about it, even though I may not become the richest man, having a few Forbidden King and a group of Prodigy Experts as friends, even dying together, makes my life worthwhile."

"Keep bombarding!" Gu Ding still hadn't given up. To him, every bombardment would increase everyone's chances of survival, no matter how small the increase. He would never give up the fight.

Sea Emperor knew their chances of escape were slim, but he couldn't refuse Gu Ding's request, repeatedly controlling the Titan Cannon atop the spaceship to bombard the Crimson Blood Beast's wound...

"Three minutes left..." Sea Emperor's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Continue the attack!" Gu Ding repeated.

Everyone on the spaceship fell silent.

Fa Te looked at Gu Ding's resolute expression, somewhat shocked. He had never imagined that someone so close to death could fight back so resolutely. He could clearly see that there was not the slightest wavering in Gu Ding's eyes.

"Two minutes... one minute...40 seconds...30 seconds...20 seconds...10 seconds..." Sea Emperor silently counted down in his mind. Yet he continued to control the Energy Gathering Mirror to attack relentlessly, without the slightest hesitation. Because he knew clearly that continuing the attack might be Gu Ding's last wish. He had to fulfill Gu Ding's final request, even if it was unreasonable.

That colossal beast, after all, was not stopped by the shelling. Through the ship's window, everyone saw the enormous, terrifying creature rapidly approaching, its crimson eyes fixed on the Titan Warship they were on.

After the Titan Battleship entered the Crimson Blood Beast's attack range, the Crimson Blood Beast finally made a move. It opened its massive maw, filled with sharp teeth, and a powerful suction force, like a giant Black Hole, devoured everything around it. The Titan Battleship seemed to be stuck in quagmire, its escape speed rapidly slowing down, and it even showed signs of retreating.

"Sea Emperor! Twenty-seven giant cannons, charge up simultaneously! Bombard its mouth! One last push!!!" Gu Ding suddenly shouted.

Without hesitation, Sea Emperor redirected all the Titan Cannon, bombarding the Energy Gathering Mirror. Several cracks instantly appeared on the Energy Gathering Mirror, growing larger and larger, threatening to shatter the entire surface at any moment. Sea Emperor had meticulously calculated every step, his mind extremely focused; this situation was entirely within his expectations. His task now was to accumulate as much energy as possible in the Energy Gathering Mirror before it completely collapsed, and then unleash the attack.

The Crimson Blood Beast had completely gone berserk, showing no awareness of the danger before it.

On the spaceship, everyone waited anxiously for the result. Every second felt like an eternity, longer than a year. But fortunately, time eventually passed, second by second.

"Crack..." Although the Sea Emperor didn't hear the sound of the mirror shattering, at the moment it completely broke, he precisely controlled the cannon fire, which was infused with twenty-three layers of superimposed energy, and unleashed it. In the end, the mirror couldn't withstand all the energy superimposed on twenty-seven layers; the twenty-three layers of superposition had reached their limit.

A beam of white light, seemingly descending from another dimension, slammed into the Crimson Blood Beast's massive maw, which was filled with sharp teeth. At the same time, the enormous mirror above the Titan Battleship, which was more than ten meters in diameter, shattered into fragments. As the Crimson Blood Beast's suction force propelled the fragments out, they were also swallowed up by the beam of white light.

After the white light faded, a few seconds later, the Crimson Blood Beast's inhalation abruptly stopped. It then began to writhe wildly in the void, its mouth agape as it howled in agony, its body repeatedly slamming against the surrounding planets. It seemed to be trying to alleviate the internal pain with physical agony, but all its efforts were in vain.

The Crimson Blood Beast's rolling continued for over ten minutes before finally stopping. In the projected image, Gu Ding and the others clearly saw that the wound beside its pectoral fin was now spewing forth bursts of flames. The flames continued to erupt for a long time, while the Crimson Blood Beast had long since fallen silent, devoid of any life, simply floating quietly not far from Gu Ding and the others.

"Let's move closer!" Gu Ding grinned, knowing that his gamble had finally paid off. Now it was time to reap the rewards.
