Chapter 236: The Second Silver Component [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield]
Chapter 236: The Second Silver Component [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield]
If the [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring] component was something Song Chi had long anticipated, then this unknown silver-quality rarity was undoubtedly a stunning and unexpected delight.
Initially, due to the functional nature of the [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring] component, Song Chi had some mixed feelings, wondering if exchanging a Tier 4 Void Demon for the opportunity to obtain it early was worth it. Now, he no longer needed to worry about this.
Two silver legendary rarities, whether or not the second one could be converted into a ship component, made this mission absolutely worthwhile.
Two rarities that could be enhanced to the Seventh Rank, each one's value was unimaginable, let alone two.
With his full anticipation, Song Chi had the Void Demon extend its arm toward the storage counter ahead.
"Hmm?"
This counter seemed to have special restrictions as well, and the Void Demon couldn't open it for a moment, causing Song Chi's heart to instinctively tighten.
Almost unconsciously, he had the Void Demon take out the Commander's Token again.
"Drip!"
After a faint sound, the storage counter finally opened.
"Phew!"
Seeing this, Song Chi let out a sigh of relief, and a sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.
If the Three-Eyed Guardian Chief's Chamber hadn't left a gap, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the [Three-Eyed Spirit Ring] or the Commander's Token, and naturally, he wouldn't have been able to open the hatch of the total mineral chamber and retrieve the second silver legendary rarity.
Everything was tightly connected, and the half-opened Chief's Chamber was the starting point for all of this.
Without time to think, the Void Demon picked up the pentagonal mineral stone emitting a brilliant silver light from the counter.
Knowing that brainwaves couldn't inspect specific attributes from a distance, Song Chi didn't waste time and had the Void Demon carefully store the unknown mineral stone in a storage capsule. He then turned and walked toward the other storage counters.
There were five counters in the total mineral chamber. For some reason, whether they had been taken by the Trieye Clan or their storage requirements were too high, two of the four remaining counters were empty.
As for the last two, the items stored in them were quite familiar to Song Chi.
The translucent jade stone surrounded by a mysterious force—what else could it be but a law crystal?
However, the law crystals stored in the two counters were different. One emitted an orange radiance with a sharp, mysterious force, likely a low-grade golden elemental law crystal.
The second one brought even greater surprise to Song Chi. It emitted a brilliant red light, and the mysterious law force it gathered was the familiar void trace. If he guessed correctly, it was a mid-grade spatial law crystal.
After retrieving both, he placed them in different storage capsules, and the Void Demon quickly rushed out of the cabin.
With three rarities—silver, red, and orange—on his person, the matter was significant, and Song Chi didn't dare to let it linger, deciding to send them back to the Market Ruins for safety.
As he passed the rare mineral chamber's hatch, he considered having the Void Demon use the Commander's Token to try opening it, but after some thought, he didn't stop, heading directly to the corridor's end and the ship hull crack.
For safety, it was best to have the Void Demon hand them over to the waiting Tier 2 Humanoid Alien. With the Void Demon's current Fifth-Rank physique, it was just a few steps away.
Of course, the key was that the Enslavement Seal: Frenzy characteristic still had nearly nine minutes left, and there would be time to explore the rare mineral chamber later.
A few seconds later, the Void Demon reached the edge of the ship hull crack and carefully tossed the three storage capsules to the Tier 2 Humanoid Alien.
After the humanoid alien activated the [Market Travel Permit] and successfully teleported into the Market Ruins, the Void Demon turned around and walked back to the rare mineral chamber.
"Beep!"
With a light swipe of the Commander's Token, the alloy hatch in front of him clicked open.
Like the total mineral chamber, it passed the verification easily.
In the next second, as one foot crossed the threshold of the rare mineral chamber, Song Chi's brainwave faintly sensed something wrong. His gaze turned toward a corner of the cabin.
Familiar red light flashed, and Song Chi's heart skipped a beat.
"Whoosh—"
Behind him, the sound of the alloy hatch closing came. Without time to think, the Void Demon threw the Commander's Token toward the Basic Ore Storage Room 5 as the hatch closed.
The three Void Shadow Killer Puppets stopped in front of Basic Ore Storage Room 3, their eyes quickly losing focus. Their movements to pick up the Commander's Token halted.
The closed hatch cut off the brainwave imprint's connection to them, and without Song Chi's command, the Void Shadow Killer Puppets lost their ability to act independently.
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship, the Cobalt Number suddenly paused as it slowly approached a ten-thousand-meter ancient corpse.
In the warship's main control room, Song Chi's eyes narrowed, his attention focused entirely on the Void Demon, or rather, inside the rare mineral chamber.
This mineral chamber combined the features of the basic and total mineral chambers. The hatch mechanism was like the total mineral chamber, but inside, it resembled a basic mineral chamber, with an alloy mech guard.
And it wasn't just any alloy mech guard, but an advanced version with Fifth-Rank combat power.
Unprepared, the Void Demon was immediately entangled by this Fifth-Rank mech guard upon entering.
Knowing that the Void Demon's combat power was significantly restricted, it was highly unlikely to defeat the opponent in the remaining few minutes.
Thus, Song Chi's command was not to engage the Fifth-Rank advanced mech guard but to have the Void Demon buy time, wearing down its remaining energy while thoroughly inspecting the rare mineral chamber.
A few minutes later, as the Void Demon's Fifth-Rank life aura began to weaken, the alloy mech guard quickly delivered the final blow.
Song Chi, who had already inspected the entire mineral chamber, no longer maintained the brainwave imprint.
Inside the Cobalt Number, Song Chi's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions, a surge of excitement welling up in his heart.
The rare mineral chamber truly lived up to its name. In those few minutes, he saw through the Void Demon's eyes various valuable mineral resources, including law stones, void stabilizing stones, and titanium crystals, in significant quantities.
Unlike the Total Mineral Chamber, where each ore occupies a separate counter, the Rare Mineral Chamber is different.
After a brief moment of excitement, Song Chi quickly regained his composure.
It was clear that the resources in the Rare Mineral Chamber were not something he could obtain in the short term. To have the Void Shadow Killer Puppet Tree push its way to the cabin door and gradually deplete the energy of the advanced alloy mech guard inside, he would need to reinforce the components of the Void Shadow Killer Puppet Tree to the Fifth Rank.
Understanding this, he did not dwell on the matter any further.
The most pressing task at hand was to secure the two ten-thousand-meter ancient alien corpses and the Three-Eyed Guardian Chief's Command Token. The latter was crucial for opening the Rare Mineral Chamber later.
Of course, the most important task was to check the specific attributes of the three Star Sea Rarities already stored in the Market Ruins.
The previous Three-Eyed Spirit Ring component, being a special functional part, did not significantly enhance the combat power of the Cobalt Number. Therefore, Song Chi had high hopes for the second legendary rarity.
His mind merged with the Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture, and as he activated the Star Sea Market Token, his figure vanished from the Cobalt Number. A few seconds later, he reappeared, holding three items that emitted different glows.
Rarity: Golden Elemental Law Crystal
Quality: Orange
Effect: Contains a trace of the Law of Metal. Carrying it can increase the comprehension speed of the Law of Metal. When activated, it serves as a medium for a one-time Law of Metal enhancement.
...
Rarity: Intermediate Space Attribute Law Crystal
Quality: Red
Effect: Contains a trace of the essence of the Law of Space. Carrying it can significantly increase the comprehension speed of the Law of Space. When activated, it serves as a medium for a one-time Law of Space enhancement.
...
The orange and red rarities matched Song Chi's expectations perfectly, being two Law Crystals.
There was no doubt about their value; Law Crystals were the rarest and most expensive items among rarities of the same rank.
Especially the red Intermediate Space Attribute Law Crystal, which was a treasure comparable to a silver legendary rarity for Fourth-Rank Star Sea beings who specialized in the Law of Space.
Unfortunately, no matter how valuable they were, Song Chi could not use them at the moment. He absorbed both into the Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture.
With these two Law Crystals merging into his Ancestral Aperture, Song Chi now had three Law Crystals in his chaotic space: one each of Fire, Metal, and Space attributes.
If others knew, even a Fourth-Rank or even Fifth-Rank Flame Vessel Captain would be amazed.
Law Crystals were already extremely rare, and for a Second-Rank Flame Vessel Captain to possess three was even more extraordinary.
Shifting his attention from the Law Crystals, Song Chi focused on the pentagonal jade stone.
After a long gaze, an attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
Rarity: Five Elements Stone
Quality: Silver
Rank: Zero Rank
Evolution: 1 {Five Elements Crystal Disk}, 2 {Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield}
Note: One of the legacy treasures from the ancient Immortal Realm civilization "Five Elements Dao Palace," later acquired by the Three-Eyed Royal Clan's "Chikura." A rare and valuable legendary rarity.
"Five Elements Stone!"
At the sight of these three words, Song Chi felt a sense of certainty. He couldn't quite describe it, but his intuition told him that this rarity would not disappoint.
After some thought, he attributed this feeling to the novels he had read in his previous life.
He remembered that in those immortal cultivation novels, anything related to "Five Elements," "Four Symbols," or "Eight Trigrams" was invariably a powerful existence.
With this in mind, he shifted his gaze and the jade stone in his hand transformed into a crystal-colored array disk—the Five Elements Crystal Disk, one of the two forms this rarity could take.
The Five Elements Crystal Disk was not a ship component but more akin to the treasures of the ancient Immortal Realm civilization.
Perhaps because of this, it did not react to the dark energy he injected.
"Of course, it still requires the special mana of a cultivator..."
Shaking his head, Song Chi changed his mind and the crystal disk transformed into a ship component form.
It was the Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield, the other form listed under the transformation options.
As the component completed its transformation, its attribute panel appeared.
Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield lv0
Quality: Silver
Trait: Five Elements Cycle · Mutual Generation and Restraint
Trait 2: Additional Shield Value +110%
Trait 3: Additional Protection Value +100%
Trait 4: True Defense
Consumption: 30/s (Mana Points)
Protection: 46
Shield Value: 966/966

{Five Elements Cycle · Mutual Generation and Restraint: Possesses the power of the Five Elements. When the energy shield is attacked by external Five Elements attributes, the power of the attack is automatically reduced by 10%}
{True Defense: The Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield has true defense attributes, unaffected by ordinary armor-piercing, shield-piercing, or penetration attributes. It can reduce the effects of true armor-piercing, true shield-piercing, and true penetration attacks to a certain extent}
After reviewing the new silver legendary component attribute panel, Song Chi couldn't hide his smile.
Compared to the similarly quality Three-Eyed Spirit Ring, this component was at the opposite extreme, providing the greatest enhancement to the Cobalt Number's current combat power among all other components of the same quality.
This was because it could synergize with the Central Star Nuclear Armor, achieving a 1+1>2 effect.
If he reinforced it to the Fourth Rank and paired it with the Central Star Nuclear Armor, Song Chi could hardly imagine the level of defense the Cobalt Number would achieve.
Even if it faced a Fifth-Rank being head-on, it might be able to withstand a few direct hits.
The key point was that this was head-on resistance, not the distant resistance in the Void Dark Side.
These two scenarios were fundamentally different. If it had been a head-on encounter earlier, the dark matter energy shield would have been completely overloaded with a single hit, not just reduced by 76% of its shield value.
