Chapter 203: The Domain Collision Device
Chapter 203: The Domain Collision Device
The moment the invisible domain unfolded, the two cruisers were the first to be restricted. As it rapidly expanded, the three cruisers above were soon engulfed as well.
This was far from over. The golden giant's domain was astonishingly vast, and even the second-tier frigates, which were over a hundred thousand meters away, were about to be enveloped.
Seeing this, the twenty-odd frigates had no choice but to employ their own means, and the already swift fleet of warships accelerated even further.
Inside the Azure Sky, Song Chi did not choose to activate the abilities of the [Void Escape Pearl]. Instead, he activated the "Photon Aggregation" feature of the [Photon Fusion Engine]. As the engine entered a super-overload state, the speed of the Azure Sky doubled.
This speed boost was among the highest among all the frigates.
Thus, one by one, the frigates were enveloped by the invisible domain, their speed suddenly plummeting.
It was as if they had entered a slow-motion sequence.
Inside the Azure Sky, Song Chi continued to maneuver the warship at high speed, his gaze never leaving the fleet of warships behind. The strange sensation of their slowed movements was unsettling.
After what seemed like an eternity, the golden giant's domain finally stopped expanding. By then, the diameter of the domain had reached a terrifying one million meters.
The entire sky of Copper Mountain Floating Land was almost entirely encompassed by the domain.
Looking around the Azure Sky, only five frigates had managed to escape.
Three belonged to the Bai family, and apart from the Azure Sky, only his father's Azure Sky remained.
Before the five Flameheart captains could discuss their next move, a new change occurred within the invisible domain.
As the domain's master, the golden giant had absolute control within its domain. Although it wasn't as powerful as a rule lord in a secret realm, it was more than enough to crush the five cruisers and twenty-one frigates.
The sky darkened, and metallic energy boiled throughout the domain. The boundless golden light almost obscured the entire sky of Copper Mountain Floating Land.
If one thought this was all, they would be gravely mistaken.
As the golden light ascended, a ten-thousand-meter-long golden spear pierced through the clouds of Copper Mountain Floating Land and descended from the heavens.
The tip of the golden spear was surrounded by terrifying golden laws, plummeting at an incredible speed. As it fell, terrifying black cracks appeared in the void, and the golden spear easily tore through the surrounding space.
The hulls of the twenty-odd Flameheart warships within the golden domain simultaneously glowed with a mysterious light, indicating the fear and desperation of the Flameheart captains inside.
Without a doubt, the target of this terrifying golden spear was them. If any of the warships were hit by this spear, which was entirely composed of law forces, they would all face a catastrophic end within the domain.
There was no doubt about it. An attack formed from law forces, enhanced by domain power, was beyond the resistance of cruisers and frigates. Only something like the [Neutron Star Core Armor] on the Azure Sky could withstand it.
Outside the domain, Song Chi and Song Chao's faces were filled with anxiety. Although they were not within the golden domain, their family members, including Chen Lixia, were still inside.
In contrast to Song Chi's urgency, Bai Chongwen, inside the cruiser below, remained unusually calm.
His eyes narrowed, and his thoughts raced. A special component within the warship was activated.
Orange light flickered, and a strange halo formed beneath his warship, rapidly spreading its unique energy outward.
"It's the [Domain Collision Device]. The old man finally decided to activate it!"
Inside the Roaring Lion, Song Ming Song muttered to himself.
He knew about the orange-quality [Domain Collision Device]. When Bai Xiurong initially invited him, she had already sent him the attribute diagram of this component.
It was this special orange component that ultimately convinced him to accept the invitation. Otherwise, the "severely injured" state alone would not have been enough to make him agree.
No matter how injured, a fourth-tier lifeform was still a fourth-tier lifeform.
In its injured state, it might not be able to use its law forces for long, but the golden giant, with its special domain, could partially compensate for its injuries within the domain, allowing it to repeatedly activate law forces against its enemies.
Therefore, only by breaking its domain power could they have a real chance of fighting it.
As the special energy spread, the golden giant's domain began to rapidly dissipate wherever it reached.
In a matter of moments, the vast domain space that stretched for a million meters collapsed with a thunderous roar, leaving Song Chi and his companions with a sense of anticlimax.
Above the floating land, the golden-armored giant, now deprived of its domain power and severely injured, struggled to maintain its strength. The golden light spear plummeting from the sky above was also greatly affected.
As it continued to fall, the ten-thousand-meter-long spear rapidly shortened, and in the blink of an eye, it had shrunk to about three thousand meters.
The other warships didn't just sit idly by. They began to ascend, and their main cannons fired in quick succession.
Amid the roar of the cannons, the three-thousand-meter-long golden light spear's power continued to diminish. Soon, its length was reduced to just a thousand meters.
However, at this point, the threat posed by the spear of law had diminished to a critical low.
Below, the Raging Lion ascended rapidly. The two main cannons at the ship's bow had transformed into a glowing, yuejin ramming horn.
Boom!
The golden light spear collided head-on with the yuejin ramming horn, releasing a terrifying energy wave. Inside the Raging Lion, urgent warning alarms blared.
However, compared to a fourth-tier attack, these alarms sounded almost pleasant.
Warning, energy shield under attack. Shield value decreased by 54%, current shield value remaining at 28%.
While the Raging Lion's energy shield had lost more than half of its value, it was important to remember that this was a fourth-tier attack. Normally, such an attack would have completely overloaded the Raging Lion's energy shield, which was only of purple quality, and would have also damaged a significant portion of the ship's armor.
Inside the Raging Lion, Song Ming's thunderous laughter echoed.
Facing a fourth-tier lifeform's law attack, even a diminished one, filled him with excitement.
He reactivated another component on the ship, a blue-quality energy shield recovery module. Once the energy shield on the Raging Lion's exterior had solidified, he maneuvered the ship downward again.
Below, Bai Chongwen was already engaged in battle with the golden-armored giant, providing an opportunity for the other warships above to attack.
Seeing this, the slightly dimmed yuejin ramming horn on the Raging Lion retracted, transforming back into the two main cannons.
Humming!
The orange-quality Apocalypse Annihilation Cannon began to charge. Once Song Ming found the right moment, the Apocalypse Annihilation Cannon erupted, firing a scorching annihilation pulse directly at the golden-armored giant's lower abdomen.
Although he aimed for the wound, the effect was not ideal.
The Apocalypse Annihilation Cannon had been enhanced to level 39, but like the Cangqiong's Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon, it lacked armor-piercing properties.
Its active characteristic, "Apocalypse Annihilation Pulse," did have additional armor-piercing effects, but it had already been used in the initial attack and couldn't be reused for a short time.
The golden-armored giant's lower abdomen, while relatively weak compared to its impenetrable scales, was still formidable against third-tier attacks without armor-piercing properties.
Additionally, the golden-armored giant possessed high intelligence. Knowing that the Bai and Song families were targeting its wounded area, it had a corresponding defense.
A protective light barrier, formed by metallic law power, adhered to the wound on its lower abdomen. The artillery fire from the Xinhuo warships had difficulty penetrating this barrier to reach the inner wound.
Seeing this, Song Ming's eyes lit up. The Raging Lion had another main cannon, a purple-quality one with a special shield-piercing characteristic.
The shield-piercing main cannon quickly completed its charge and fired at the same angle, hitting the golden-armored giant's lower abdomen.
When the explosion subsided, Song Ming furrowed his brow.
"True to its nature as law power, the shield-piercing effect only made it dim slightly. It couldn't collapse it completely like before."
After a moment's thought, Song Ming's voice rang out in the cruiser group chat.
"Who has a shield-piercing main cannon? Secondary cannons won't work; they're too weak. We need to break through that layer of law barrier on its lower abdomen."
"I do!"
The first to respond was Bai Xiurong, whose ship had a shield-piercing main cannon.
Before she could take action, the golden-armored giant, already enraged by Bai Chongwen's relentless attacks, became even more furious. Its already crimson eyes turned blood-red.
Its thousands-of-meters-long tail suddenly shot upward, the terrifying golden light transforming it into a golden light pillar.
As the golden pillar shot into the sky, boundless golden light gathered in the horizon, eventually forming an endless golden canopy at the zenith. Countless kilometers-long golden spears hung beneath this canopy, densely packed and sending shivers down the spines of all who saw them.
No one knew what method the golden-armored giant beast was using, but everyone knew that compared to the small golden spears it had previously fired, these were the true Law Spears.
And once this canopy of spears, denser than raindrops, fell, the ground within a million-meter radius would be turned into a sieve, let alone the numerous Ember Fleet ships that would be completely engulfed.
"Everyone, use your full strength to stop this beast!"
An aged voice echoed in the group chat.
In the Crimson Sky, Song Chi didn't hesitate. The Chaos Sun Sword Intent Divine Light was still on cooldown, so he could only use the External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bolt Launcher.
Click, click, click!
The previously concealed launchers on the Crimson Sky's underside quickly extended, revealing two specially designed cobalt bolts over thirty meters long, looking particularly menacing.
This wasn't all. In the Crimson Sky's command room, Song Chi's aura energy surged, activating the Marketplace Walker Token in his hand.
Once the Crimson Sky successfully entered the Law-Enhanced state, he pressed the launch button without hesitation.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Without holding back, both cobalt bolts were launched simultaneously, leaving long trails of flames in the sky.
Below, the golden-armored giant beast, already slowed and restrained by various effects and without the support of its domain, couldn't avoid the barrage of artillery fire.
Crack!
After enduring countless rounds of bombardment, even the golden-armored giant beast's scales, as sturdy as they were, couldn't withstand the damage. The golden scales on its head began to crack extensively, and subsequent attacks finally managed to penetrate its tough exterior, reaching the flesh beneath.
At this moment, the two cobalt bolts descended from the sky, striking the cracks on the golden-armored giant beast's head with pinpoint accuracy.
The specially designed cobalt bolts had significant penetration capabilities, and combined with the armor-piercing properties of the External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bolt Launcher, they quickly embedded themselves into the golden-armored giant beast's flesh.
Boom, boom!
Two consecutive explosions followed, and a roar of pain and fury echoed from below.
Clearly, this attack had inflicted significant damage on the golden-armored giant beast.
As a result, the golden Law Spears in the sky dimmed considerably, and the countless kilometers-long spears that were about to rain down failed to detach from the canopy.
Below, several cruisers noticed this and also revealed their external launchers.
Nuclear missile launchers, deep-space torpedoes, and more.
Thus, for about a few minutes, the sky was continuously bombarded, and the dense canopy of Law Spears in the sky finally dissipated completely.
Just as everyone thought the golden-armored giant beast was about to give up, the massive creature, nearly ten kilometers long, suddenly ignored the Ember Fleet ships. It turned its body, and the Law of Gold continued to flow around it. Despite the attacks from the Ember Fleet ships above, it plunged downward without a care.
"It's going back underground, stop it!"
As a golden-elemental space giant beast, the creature could move freely in the metal-rich floating land below. If it managed to burrow back into the ground, they would have no way to deal with it.
At this moment, Bai Chongwen's cruiser suddenly accelerated, quickly catching up to the descending golden-armored giant beast. Dodging several tail strikes, the cruiser positioned itself behind the beast.
Activating some unknown special component, several chains shot out from the cruiser, quickly entangling the golden-armored giant beast. Four more chains shot out from the cruiser's rear, connecting to four other cruisers that hadn't moved.
Thus, the five cruisers activated their engines to their full capacity, pulling upward with the special chains, combining their strength to drag the golden-armored giant beast, preventing it from descending further. The two sides were now locked in a stalemate.
Meanwhile, an aged voice echoed in the more than twenty frigates.
"Hurry, attack with all your strength, this component won't last long!"
Without needing further prompting, the moment the five cruisers and the golden-armored giant beast were locked in a stalemate, the twenty-plus frigates began their respective actions.
