Chapter 226: Fourth Rank Void Demons · Another Red Epic Artifact
Chapter 226: Fourth Rank Void Demons · Another Red Epic Artifact
After nearly two minutes of focused observation, Song Chi finally confirmed that the silver plant in the left cabin was indeed the [Silver Apple Mother Tree].
The realization left him elated.
The Silver Apple Mother Tree, as one of the most rare plants in the starry sky, was far more valuable than the [Star Devouring Vine], [Bloodthirsty Vine], and [Starry Sea Chrysanthemum]. It was a plant that all factions dreamed of possessing.
The fruit it bore, the [Silver Apple], had the miraculous effect of elevating the quality of most eligible starry sea artifacts by one rank. For Song Chi, this was something he could only hope to encounter by chance.
Suppressing his excitement, he shifted his gaze to the right cabin, which he had not yet had a chance to inspect.
However, this glance only brought disappointment. A special alloy door completely isolated the interior of the cabin, making it impossible to see what was inside.
After some thought, Song Chi tried pushing the alloy door on the right side, but it remained unmoving. He then turned his attention back to the cultivation room on the left.
Thump, thump, thump!
Three [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees] slowly approached the open door of the cabin.
Their footsteps echoed in the quiet interior of the ship, making them particularly noticeable.
However, the interior of the super colossal flagship was far more stable than the remains of ordinary Tri-Eye warships. Not only could they not merge into the void, but it was also extremely difficult to levitate using their surrounding energy.
At the entrance of the cultivation cabin, there seemed to be a transparent isolation light curtain. As the three [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees] stepped through it, the scene before them suddenly changed.
It wasn't that what they saw from the outside was an illusion; the silver plant was indeed there, standing quietly in the distance.
What was surprising was that the interior of the cabin was much larger than it appeared from the outside. It had mountains and water, and at first glance, it resembled a sizable secret realm.
Most astonishingly, the [Silver Apple Mother Tree], which looked only a few meters tall from the outside, was actually ten thousand meters tall within this secret realm, clearly a Fifth Rank starry sky plant.
Song Chi's heart raced at this realization.
A Fifth Rank starry sky plant, and not just a newly ascended one at that, was not something that outsiders could easily covet.
Just as he was marveling, Song Chi noticed something else. In this enclosed space similar to a secret realm, the restrictions on the [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees] seemed to have vanished, yet the [Brainwave Remote Control System] still functioned. This was somewhat unexpected.
Before he could think more about it, several faint spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky above the secret realm, and a few dark figures slowly materialized.
At this sight, a thought flashed through Song Chi's mind.
"Is there another entrance to this secret realm?"
As he speculated, his actions did not slow. Before the dark figures fully solidified, he had the three [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees] merge into the void and then quietly observed the new arrivals.
In the [Cobalt Number], Song Chi, with his eyes closed, frowned slightly.
"Turns out they are Void Demons, and they are Fourth Rank Void Demons!"
When he clearly saw the faces of the new black shadows in the sky, he immediately recognized them.
"Four Fourth Rank Void Demons, this is going to be a problem!"
A Fourth Rank Void Demon's combat power far exceeded that of a pseudo-Fourth Rank [Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree]. With four of them appearing at once, how could Song Chi not be concerned?
However, before he could think more, a good piece of news came.
The four Void Demons, upon entering the secret realm, had a clear objective. They rushed straight toward the ten-thousand-meter-tall [Silver Apple Mother Tree], and a battle soon ensued.
"Are they also after those two Silver Apples?"
Song Chi's eyes flashed, and countless thoughts raced through his mind.
He quickly realized that the Silver Apples were the essence of the [Silver Apple Mother Tree], each taking a long time to form.
For ordinary starry sea civilizations, the Silver Apples might only be used to enhance the quality of starry sea artifacts. However, for the Void Demons, which could absorb the majority of energies, the energy essence within the Silver Apples could directly aid them in achieving a major rank advancement.
This explained their desire for the two Silver Apples.
Thinking of the Silver Apples, Song Chi's gaze shifted to the two glowing Silver Apples hanging from the [Silver Apple Mother Tree].
"Hmm?"
A hint of doubt crept into his mind. The last time he returned, he had specifically gone to the family database to look up information on the Silver Apple Mother Tree. The information he obtained was different from what he was seeing now.
Normally, the size of a Silver Apple should be around ten meters, but the two on this tree were much larger. The smaller one was over thirty meters, and the larger one exceeded a hundred meters. This was a significant difference from the information he had obtained from the family database.
"Is it due to the Three-Eyed Clan's cultivation that caused this mutation? Or is the quality of these two Silver Apples far beyond what the family has recorded?"
The battle in front of him continued, and Song Chi didn't dwell on this too much. He began to carefully observe the situation on the battlefield, but soon discovered another anomaly.
"A fifth-tier Silver Apple Mother Tree is evenly matched against a fourth-tier Void Demon?"
Song Chi focused on the Silver Apple Mother Tree, which was being surrounded by four Void Demons. After about ten minutes, he noticed something unusual.
"The aura emitted by the Silver Apple Mother Tree is slowly weakening!"
Although the decline was not drastic, Song Chi's careful observation allowed him to detect it.
In an instant, Song Chi seemed to understand something.
"Could it be that this Silver Apple Mother Tree, like the Bug Queen and Bug Mother in the Blo Civilization Ruins, is experiencing a decline in its tier due to a lack of energy supply?"
As soon as this thought occurred to him, Song Chi was almost certain that it was correct.
This could also explain the size of the two Silver Apples.
After some thought, several hours passed. The Silver Apple Mother Tree's tier had dropped from fifth to fourth, and its size had shrunk from ten thousand meters to five thousand meters.
As the Silver Apple Mother Tree's tier decreased, the four Void Demons, who had been relying on their Void powers to carefully fight, became more confident. They began to leave cut marks on the tree trunk with their Void Cutting Blades.
"Not right!"
In the distance, Song Chi's heart skipped a beat as he caught a glimpse of one of the Void Demons making a subtle movement, slowly approaching a certain area.
As the saying goes, "those who are involved are confused, while those who are not are clear." The fighters on the scene did not notice the demon's action, but Song Chi, as an observer, saw it clearly.
The area the demon was approaching was a hidden region behind the Silver Apple Mother Tree's trunk. Song Chi controlled the Void Shadow Killer Puppet to move a short distance through the Void Dark Side, changing his perspective.
In that instant, he caught a glimpse of a faint red glow.
"Is this a Red Epic Quality artifact?"
Song Chi's heart rate accelerated as he saw the red glow emanating from the Silver Apple Mother Tree's hidden position.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Silver Apple Mother Tree was hiding a Red Epic Quality artifact.
Confirming this, Song Chi's breathing became slightly heavier.
A Red Epic Quality artifact, regardless of whether it could be converted into a ship component, was invaluable.
He had to find a way to obtain it, no matter what.
Song Chi's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
However, another problem arose.
The duration of the Brainwave Remote Control System component was about to expire.
The lv30 Brainwave Remote Control System had a duration of 18 hours, and time was almost up.
If he canceled the component now, not only would the Red artifact be at risk of being obtained by the Void Demons, but even if the battle between the Silver Apple Mother Tree and the Void Demons continued, the arrival of new Void Shadow Killer Puppets would surely alert both parties.
Based on this, Song Chi made a decision.
He took out the remaining three Floating Continent Essence and Titanium Crystal and used them to enhance the Brainwave Remote Control System component five times, upgrading it to lv35.
Its control distance increased to 4 light-years, and its duration extended to 23 hours.
Seeing this, Song Chi felt slightly relieved.
The battle in the secret realm couldn't last much longer. The Silver Apple Mother Tree was consuming its own energy to fight, and it wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Time passed, and another two hours went by.
The battle in the secret realm had reached its climax. The Silver Apple Mother Tree...
One of the four Tier 4 Void Demons has already been dealt with, and another has been severely wounded, leaving only two with combat capability. However, its own condition is also extremely dangerous. Originally, it had just fallen from the Fifth Rank and still possessed peak Fourth-Rank combat power, but now it is reduced to ordinary Fourth-Rank combat power. If this situation continues, it will likely be slowly ground down and killed by the remaining two Void Demons.
However, at this moment, the figure of the Void Demon that had been looking for an opportunity suddenly flashed. Seizing a momentary weakness in the Silver Apple Mother Tree, it instantly used its void abilities to reach the location of the red rarity.
Just as it reached out to grab the red rarity, a small rift suddenly appeared in the void on its side, and two strange mechanical devices shot out.
Boom! Boom!
The two goblin magic energy bombing drones landed on the side of the Void Demon and then exploded violently.
The explosion, at the Third-Rank level, was essentially just a tickle to the Fourth-Rank Void Demon, whose entire body was reinforced by spatial laws. However, this sudden change made the Void Demon hesitate for a moment, which is exactly what Song Chi needed.
Before the Void Demon could react, a puppet arm emerged from the void, grabbing the red rarity that the Silver Apple Mother Tree had deliberately concealed, and then quickly retreated back into the void.
Seeing this, the Void Demon's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and a violent aura surged out of its body.
Even in the Void Dark Side, Song Chi could still faintly sense the overwhelming nature of this aura.
Swish!
A several hundred-meter-long pure silver branch swung violently, striking the Fourth-Rank Void Demon and sending it flying.
Even though it had to expend its already limited energy to conceal the red rarity, the importance of this item to the Silver Apple Mother Tree was evident.
Upon sensing the loss of the item and seeing only one opponent behind it, the Silver Apple Mother Tree naturally directed all its anger at the Fourth-Rank Void Demon.
The Void Demon, emitting a dense and violent aura, completely ignored the Silver Apple Mother Tree. Even as its body was still flying backward, it vanished into the void, just like the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
As a Void Favored, it was well aware of the tactics used by the Void Shadow Killer Puppets.
However, as it rapidly pursued the three Void Shadow Killer Puppets from the Void Dark Side, they had already taken the opportunity to return to the entrance above the sky.
"Hurry!"
Song Chi's brainwave beacon issued rapid commands. He didn't even have time to check the attributes of the red rarity he had obtained, only praying that the three Void Shadow Killer Puppets could escape the pursuing Void Demon.
He was all too aware of the terrifying nature of Fourth-Rank entities. Although the Void Shadow Killer Puppets had been enhanced to level 40, without a special extraordinary system, they were just larger ants in the presence of a true Fourth-Rank being. Therefore, the Void Demon must not be allowed to catch up.
The Void Shadow Killer Puppets successively rushed out of the large open hatch. In the next second, they fell from the Void Dark Side into the interior of the warship, where the space was extremely stable and did not support void traversal.
Without the support of void power, the three Void Shadow Killer Puppets could only move step by step toward the nearby gap.
Although Song Chi was anxious, there was nothing he could do. In this ancient super colossal warship, it was like a natural rule that no one could violate.
For instance, the Fourth-Rank Void Demon that had also pursued them out of the void was equally clumsy, falling out of the void and having to move step by step toward the three puppets.
However, as a true Fourth-Rank unit, the flow of law power in its body allowed it to move much faster in the central corridor than the Void Shadow Killer Puppets. As time passed, the distance between them gradually closed.
Seeing this, Song Chi naturally grew more anxious.
In this state of anxiety, neither he nor the Fourth-Rank Void Demon noticed that the cultivation chamber, which had originally been an independent space, had quietly disappeared, transforming from a separate mystic realm into a regular warship alloy cabin.
Swish!
A whistling sound came from behind, and Song Chi's peripheral vision caught a glimpse. His hands subconsciously clenched.
It was the Void Demon initiating an attack.
However, in the next second, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
Although the attack hit one of the Void Shadow Killer Puppets behind him, it did not severely wound it. Instead, it was blocked by the automatically triggered Plasma Shield.
