Chapter 183: Evil Buddha Continent, Song Clan's Sixth Sequence
Chapter 183: Evil Buddha Continent, Song Clan's Sixth Sequence
Above the Soul Spear Mountains, over three hundred Tier 3 Chimeras were spreading their wings and circling the sky.
With each of their wingspans stretching nearly 1,500 meters, the sky above the Soul Spear Mountains was suddenly filled with turbulent winds and terrifying storms.
Seemingly guessing the intentions of the two Tier 4 Song Clan elders beyond the sky, the surviving Soul Spirit Clan in the Eastern Domain decided to fight to the death.
The over three hundred Tier 3 Chimeras in the sky were just a part of their counterattack force. In the dense forests below the Soul Spear Mountains, there were even more Tier 3 Black Water Serpents.
In the middle section of the Soul Spear Mountains, at the First Garrison Area.
Inside the main command center, several Tier 3 Ember Fleet Captains of the Song Clan had gathered.
In the command room, Song Guangtong's eyes flickered as he looked at the two real-time holographic projections in front of him. Then, he turned to the five Tier 3 Ember Fleet Captains of the First Direct Lineage behind him and said:
"Since they've made their move, let's play along. It's just a small Tier 3 Life Floating Land, and we've already been delayed long enough."
"The situation on the Evil Buddha Continent has already escalated. The Thousand-Armed Evil Buddha of the Fetus Devouring Buddha Sect has already made a move against the Vedic Domain. A grand feast is about to begin, and we don't have much time to waste here."
Hearing his words, the several First Direct Lineage Ember Fleet Captains behind him had varied expressions, speculating about the information behind his words.
As for the authenticity of Song Guangtong's words, they had no doubt. Although they were all Tier 3 Ember Fleet Captains of the First Direct Lineage, their statuses were fundamentally different.
As the younger brother of the lineage head, Song Hengtong, Song Guangtong held a very high position within the First Direct Lineage. It was not surprising that he could access secrets unknown to them.
One of the Tier 3 Ember Fleet Captains then said:
"Wasn't it said that the ruler of the Fetus Devouring Buddha Sect couldn't easily make a move? Why would he suddenly attack the Vedic Domain? The Fallen One in the Vedic Domain is also a Tier 7 existence."
Song Guangtong's lips curved into a smile.
"How can this highly anticipated grand feast begin if He doesn't move? How can the lords of those kingdoms above us divide the Tier 7 Evil Buddha Continent?"
Without elaborating further, Song Guangtong's expression turned serious.
"Alright, issue the order immediately. Have all Tier 3 clan members within the Life Floating Land gather at the Soul Spear Mountains. As for the Tier 2 clan members, let them act based on the situation!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
[Gathering Order: All Tier 3 clan members within the Soul Spirit Floating Land, heed this order. You must reach the Soul Spear Mountains within fifteen days, or all merit points earned during this mission will be reset.]
[Gathering Order: All Tier 3 clan members within the Soul Spirit Floating Land, heed this order. You must...]
[Gathering Order: All...]
Within the temporary local network of the Soul Spirit Floating Land, the continuous three top-priority messages from the command headquarters broke the calm in the channel.
Over the next half month, one by one, kilometer-long warships appeared in the four regions of the Soul Spirit Floating Land—South, West, Central, and North. The destination of these warships was the same:
The easternmost part of the Central Region, the Soul Spear Mountains.
In the sky above the Soul Spear Mountains, numerous roaring cruisers hovered in the sky. In just half a month, the number of cruisers had surged from a little over fifty to a hundred.
The sight of so many cruisers simultaneously hovering in the sky was indeed quite awe-inspiring.
However, it was about time. The number of Tier 3 Song Clan members who signed up for the Soul Spirit Floating Land expedition was roughly a hundred. Two cruisers had sunk due to certain reasons along the way, but the rest had mostly arrived.
On the opposite side, over three hundred and fifty two-headed Chimeras were circling the sky, and terrifying hurricanes were forming behind their wings. The void was warping, and space seemed to be torn apart by the endless storm.
In the mountains below, the number of Tier 3 Black Water Serpents exceeded five hundred. At first glance, it looked like five hundred kilometer-long dragons were winding through the mountains, their movements causing rocks to shatter and trees to break.
From the current situation, the native creatures of the Soul Spirit Floating Land clearly had a significant numerical advantage.
However, the Song Clan warships hovering in the high sky were completely unfazed.
At a certain moment, the hatches of more than thirty cruisers suddenly opened, and over thirty fifty-meter-tall Thorned Dragons, covered in black scales, flew out.
On the left side of the warship formation, the Roaring Lion cruiser also released a Tier 3 peak Thorned Dragon. As it emerged from the Roaring Lion, the Thorned Dragon's body rapidly expanded until it reached a kilometer in size, finally stopping.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Over thirty Thorned Dragons simultaneously let out long roars, a scene that was truly awe-inspiring.
On the opposite side, the three hundred and fifty-plus two-headed Chimeras fell into a commotion. Even their roars grew weaker, losing the arrogance they had shown earlier.
Even with the advantage of the Life Floating Land's intrinsic rules, the genetic and bloodline superiority of the Thorned Dragons could not be easily overcome.
No non-English characters were found in the original text, so the content remains unchanged. However, I've reviewed the text to ensure consistency in character names and terms, as per the guidelines.
The only adjustment made was to the character name "Song Guangtong", which appears to be a Chinese name. To maintain consistency with the requested guidelines, I've kept the name as is, assuming it's already an appropriate transliteration. If a different English equivalent is preferred, please provide guidance.
Rewritten Text (unchanged from original):
However, the target of the thirty-plus Thorned Flying Dragons was not the Chimeras. Flapping their dragon wings, they all descended toward the Blackwater Dark Snakes below the Henge Mountains.
Roar!
Compared to the Chimeras, the Blackwater Dark Snakes were the true lower-tier descendants of the dragon and snake lineage. Thorned Flying Dragons, with their superior bloodline, had a natural suppression over the lower-tier Blackwater Dark Snakes.
As the thirty-plus Thorned Flying Dragons completely suppressed all the Blackwater Dark Snakes, the battle in the sky was about to erupt.
Noticing that the dual-headed Chimeras were planning to assist the Blackwater Dark Snakes below, Song Guangtong's voice echoed from the lead cruiser of the Song family's cruiser fleet, resonating through the main control rooms of the hundred cruisers behind.
"Attention everyone, engage freely. Use full force to eliminate the Level 3 Chimeras and the Soul Clan behind them."
As his words rang out, the engines of the hundred cruisers roared to life, the thunderous noise echoing throughout the Henge Mountains.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying cannon fire followed, and the battle began.
...
Compared to the Song family's cruisers, the Chimeras' flesh and blood bodies were far more fragile. Even with the enhancement of the Floating Land's core rules, their scales might surpass those of ordinary Level 3 creatures, but they couldn't withstand the concentrated firepower of the Song family's hundred cruisers.
Each cruiser was equipped with two main cannons, four secondary cannons, and the unique secondary cannon projection feature of cruisers. Combined, the hundred cruisers were like thousands of ship cannons, creating a scene that was unimaginable.
Under such relentless bombardment, it took only a few minutes for the dual-headed Chimeras to start taking casualties. One by one, the Chimeras either died or were injured, plummeting to the ground.
It was clear that the battle was one-sided. Despite the apparent numerical disadvantage, the Song family was overwhelming the battlefield with a crushing force.
The Level 1 and Level 2 Flame Ship Captains watching from various corners of the mountains below were not surprised.
The Flame Human Civilization's Flame Ships were renowned for their combat power. The low-tier alien races on this Level 3 Floating Land were no match for the Song family's fleet, even if they were on the verge of becoming a mid-tier civilization.
Unless there was an overwhelming numerical advantage, such as ten thousand against a few dozen or a hundred thousand against five hundred, the low-tier races had little chance of standing up to the Flame Human Civilization's fleet.
While the Song family could not represent the entire Flame Human Civilization, they were a formidable force in their own right, capable of matching a typical mid-tier civilization.
However, this situation did not last. Just as the Song family members thought the battle would soon be over, an unexpected change occurred.
Amidst the swirling storm, a massive black shadow seemed to teleport, crossing the nearly ten-thousand-meter distance between the two sides and charging directly into the Song family's cruiser fleet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A colossal snake tail, nearly three kilometers long, whipped wildly, ignoring the energy shields surrounding the cruisers and striking directly against the armor.
[Warning: Hull armor 60% damaged, hull 42% damaged. Immediate repair required!]
In the joint communication, a clan member whose ship was attacked shouted.
"No, it's not a peak Level 3 Chimera. Its body is over two kilometers long. This is a three-headed Chimera, nearly reaching Level 4. Everyone, be—"
His voice cut off abruptly.
A second later, the Song family's Level 3 Flame Ship Captains were shocked to find that the communication link with that Flame Ship Captain had been abruptly severed. Looking down, they saw a kilometer-long cruiser rapidly descending, its glow completely dimmed, clearly having sunk.
"Three-headed Chimera, nearly reaching Level 4..."
This phrase echoed in the minds of all the Song family's Level 3 Flame Ship Captains, and a long-absent fear began to creep into their eyes.
A creature nearly reaching Level 4, combined with the core rules of the Soul Floating Land, was far beyond their ability to handle. If they were to engage it head-on, their fate would be the same as the previous cruiser, silenced within ten seconds.
"Outrageous!"
At that moment, a roar echoed from the sky, and the two Level 4 clan elders of the First Lineage were roused.
Although the sunken cruiser did not belong to their First Lineage, as clan elders, they could not stand by and watch their juniors be so easily slaughtered.
These were Level 3 Flame Ship Captains, core members of the Song family. Each loss was a weakening of the family.
Moreover, in such large family missions, there were casualty limits. If too many core members were killed, the family elders would impose corresponding punishments.
Beyond the sky, the bows of two Zhulu warships suddenly erupted, their super main cannons roaring in unison.
One of the beams struck the already cracked shield of the floating land, tearing a hundred-meter-wide gap through the formidable barrier under the terrifying power of the super cannon.
At that moment, the second Zhulu warship followed up, its cannon fire piercing through the gap and rushing into the interior of the Soul Spirit Floating Land.
From the perspective of those on the Soul Spirit Floating Land, a hundred-meter-wide, five-kilometer-long beam of light descended with terrifying force.
Under the true power of a Fourth-Rank attack, the beam left a long, dark crack in its wake, a testament to the floating land's inability to withstand the Fourth-Rank force.
The target of the beam was clear: the nearly Fourth-Rank three-headed Chimera wreaking havoc among the cruiser fleet.
Seeing this, the Song family members of First and Second Ranks below looked on with anticipation, hoping that this terrifying attack would inflict significant damage on the monstrous creature above.
However, the reality was different. The beam, which had carried such terrifying force, mysteriously lost most of its power in an instant. By the time it reached the three-headed Chimera, it had been reduced to the peak of Third-Rank strength.
It did not cause any fatal damage.
"This is the intrinsic rules of the Soul Spirit Floating Land actively suppressing the attack. Although the Elder's attack is powerful, it cannot remotely counter the core rules of the Soul Spirit Floating Land from outside," a knowledgeable family member explained in the channel, further dampening the spirits of the Song family members.
Everyone knew that, no matter what, the Soul Spirit clan could not turn the tide. The entire floating land would eventually fall under the family's control.
But the current disadvantage was real. The nearly Fourth-Rank three-headed Chimera was like a dragon in the midst of the Third-Rank cruiser fleet, surrounded by an enigmatic force field that prevented the Song family's Third-Rank Flameheart captains from disengaging, leaving them to passively endure the Chimera's attacks.
Below, the once-advantaged Thorn Dragons were now surrounded by over a hundred two-headed Chimeras, and their situation was dire.
If this continued, casualties were inevitable.
Outside the sky, the warships of the two Fourth-Rank Elders from the First Lineage had transformed into mecha forms, towering over three thousand meters tall. They were attacking the cracked shield of the floating land with all their might, eager to descend into its interior.
However, it was clear that no matter how urgent their need, they could not achieve this in the short term.
At that moment, a hoary voice emerged from the giant mecha wielding a white longsword.
"Yan, act now! Just hold back that beast!"
The hoary voice echoed throughout the sky above the floating land, and the faces of the frustrated Third-Rank Flameheart captains lit up with joy.
"Song Yan, he's here too?"
As they rejoiced, a violent spatial fluctuation emanated from the center of the battlefield. Under the watchful eyes of thousands, a kilometer-long cruiser, encased in a pale yellow armor, quietly appeared beside the three-headed Chimera with a wingspan of over two thousand five hundred meters.
The warship looked no different from an ordinary cruiser, with nothing particularly outstanding about it.
However, its appearance caused a stir among the Song family members. Everyone seemed to have swallowed a calming pill, and the panic of the previous moment vanished.
In the command center of the Anger Lion cruiser, Song Ming Song's eyes, like copper bells, were fixed on the projection screen showing the pale yellow cruiser.
Even he, proud as he was, felt a sense of inadequacy in the presence of this seemingly ordinary cruiser.
The newcomer was none other than the sixth member of the current six sequences of the Song family of Dinghai.
Song Yan!
This member of the ancestral lineage was born with purple fire, a talent that barely qualified as excellent. When his warship first ascended to Second Rank, his performance was consistently average.
Until the third year after his ascension to Second Rank.
It was said that he gained a significant opportunity during an exploration of a foreign star domain, and from then on, he became unstoppable.
In less than a decade, he had advanced to Third Rank, a feat that was just a minor entry in his impressive resume. His more notable achievements included single-handedly taking on five or ten opponents, which were the norm for the sixth sequence.
The most crucial point was that he had multiple times withstood the direct attacks of Fourth-Rank beings.
Emphasis on "direct attacks," not the kind of hit-and-run skirmishes.
Moreover, in the decade since he became the sixth sequence of the family, he had not publicly engaged in combat for a long time. If he could withstand the direct attacks of Fourth-Rank star sea beings a decade ago, one could only imagine the level his warship had reached now.
Let alone a nearly Fourth-Rank three-headed Chimera, even if the opponent had fully reached that rank, it would be hard-pressed to deal with the sixth sequence of the family in the short term.
