Chapter 273: Abyssal Dragon · Ascension Success Rate 95%
Chapter 273: Abyssal Dragon · Ascension Success Rate 95%
Song Ming Song and his group were unaware of everything happening inside the Dragon Vein Temple.
The temple of the Dragon Vein was constructed from special materials, not only having an extremely strong spirit-absorbing effect but also carrying a certain amount of magnetic wave interference, making it impossible for the various floating radar systems to perform precise detection.
If the group were inside the temple at this moment, they would immediately recognize the rhombic crystal.
Spatial Beacon Device!
The Ember Human Civilization had its unique method of deploying spatial beacons for their Ember Warships. How many civilizations existed in the Shattered StarSea? Naturally, many other groups or civilizations also had their own methods of deploying spatial beacons.
A majority of these methods involved placing spatial beacon imprints within certain resilient objects or materials using special techniques, then randomly deploying them to distant star seas, waiting for "fated" creatures to discover them.
However, this method of deploying spatial beacons had significant drawbacks, including the instability of these spatial beacons. Whether they would be discovered by creatures from other starfields, or when they would be discovered, was uncertain. Even if discovered, opening a relatively stable channel between two starfields using the spatial beacon was no easy task.
One method involved sacrificing countless lives, but achieving this was extremely difficult. Unless the creature deploying the spatial beacon device was exceptionally adept at deception.
Time slowly passed, and in the sky above the city, Song Chi gradually noticed something amiss in the Cang Qiong.
Although the temple building had a certain degree of detection isolation, as the dark and violent energy within it continued to gather, the "mana detection" characteristic of the Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar still slowly detected the energy fluctuations of the Fourth Rank.
"Grandfather, the energy fluctuations inside the Dragon Vein Temple are continuously increasing. They have already reached the regular Fourth Rank level and are still rising..."
Hearing the warning from Song Chi, Song Ming Song on the Raging Battle Frenzy Lion immediately became highly alert.
In the past, he would never have been like this, but after the trip to the Copper Mountain Floating Continent, Song Ming Song had completely transformed his personality. Nowadays, he preferred steady victory over taking risks for wealth.
At the bow of the Raging Battle F renzy Lion, the "Super Main Cannon" slot that only appeared after the ship's ascension to the Skirmish-class, already had a super main cannon with a human-sized barrel diameter loaded.
This was an orange-quality super main cannon, which the family would equip free of charge to all clan members after their Ember Warships ascended to the Fourth Rank. It could be considered a form of investment in the clan members.
As Song Ming Song activated the active characteristic of this orange-quality super main cannon, a light sphere over a kilometer in diameter formed at the bow of the Raging Battle Frenzy Lion. Even though Song Chi and the others were at least ten kilometers away from the Raging Battle Frenzy Lion, they could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the light sphere.
This was definitely not an ordinary Fourth-rank attack method...
Although the three were somewhat surprised, they were not terrified. They had a certain understanding of the "super main cannon" of Ember Warships.
Why was it called a super main cannon?
Because the power of such a main cannon often far exceeded that of ordinary main cannons. One shot might be equivalent to dozens of shots from a regular main cannon. If it had additional attack characteristics, the power would be even more terrifying.
However, the charging time and cooldown time of the super main cannon were also very long, making it a double-edged sword.
Below, a layer of dense violent energy already covered the Dragon Vein Temple.
Looking at this unfamiliar dark energy, Song Chi and the others were puzzled. The Ember Human Civilization had many recorded energies. As properly educated Ember Warship Captains, they had a basic understanding of most of them. However, this dark and violent energy was completely unfamiliar to them.
After a dozen seconds, the super main cannon on the Raging Battle Frenzy Lion completed its charging. Song Ming Song, without hesitation, launched the attack based on the Fourth Rank energy source coordinates provided by Song Chi.
Boom!
A blinding kilometer-wide light sphere transformed into a kilometer-wide scorching ray, piercing down toward the Dragon Vein Temple.
The scorching ray carried power that might not reach the Fifth Rank but was certainly not weaker than the peak Fourth Rank. It instantly breached the tens of thousands of meters of distance and hit the temple building below.
The previously sturdy temple building, upon encountering this scorching light ray, shattered like paper, instantly disintegrating.
Inside the Dragon Vein Temple, the original sacred scene had vanished completely, replaced by a macabre scene of white bones and endless blood, turning the temple into a hellish landscape.
Above, the light ray that had pierced through the temple aimed directly at the rhombic crystal floating in the air.
"Ⅱ%? ×+/!"
At the head of the grand hall, the half-step Fourth Rank Dragon Vein Doghead man stared in terror at the kilometer-wide light ray.
One could imagine that if this peak Fourth Rank light ray struck the rhombic crystal, the crystal would certainly not withstand the terrifying power.
If that happened, all his efforts would be in vain, and he would never again be able to obtain divine dragon blood from the great Dragon Lord through this artifact.
Compared to the terror of the half-step Fourth Rank Dragon Vein Doghead man, the unknown entity behind the rhombic crystal was filled with rage. It had almost completely established communication with a low-level floating land and would not allow failure at this critical moment.
A more massive wave of dark violent energy surged out from the spatial rift within the crystal and, under the terrified gaze of the Dragon Vein Doghead man, poured into his body.
Bang!
With a muffled explosion, the half-step Fourth Rank Dragon Vein Doghead man's body instantly transformed into a cloud of blood mist. With the addition of this half-step Fourth Rank blood mist, the spatial rift within the rhombic crystal suddenly expanded significantly, and the void inside it stabilized much more.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Even so, the terrifying light ray from above had already flown close.
Just as the light ray was about to collide with the rhombic crystal, a massive black-scaled claw suddenly emerged from the spatial rift.
Boom!
The piercing ray from the super main cannon struck the black-scaled giant claw, causing a terrifying explosion.
Sizzle!
The scorching ray and the intense heat burned the black giant claw, but the effect was indescribable.
Both sides were thus in a stalemate.
Above, through the temple walls blasted apart, Song Chi and the others closely watched the black-scaled claw below.
"Father, can you identify what kind of creature this is?"
Inside the Mountain Vessel, Song Shan, who had been unable to identify the black-scaled claw, asked Song Ming Song.
"Perhaps..."
Song Ming Song, inside the Roaring BattleLion, was about to answer when he was interrupted by a sudden roar.
"Roar Roar Roar!!"
A large number of roars erupted from within the Dragon Vein Temple below. Looking down, one could see that a large number of black figures had suddenly appeared within the Dragon Vein Temple.
These creatures had two wings on their backs and were covered in pitch-black scales. Some were over a kilometer long, while others were merely a hundred meters.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that these black figures had been transported through a spatial channel below, connecting to the node where the terrifying giant claw and the light pillar’s ray were locked in a stalemate.
After identifying these black figures, Song Ming Song’s expression instantly turned grave as he shouted out four words.
"Abyssal Dragon!"
Upon hearing these four words, Song Chi and the others’ minds instantly filled with a myriad of information about the Abyssal Dragons.
Abyssal Dragons, an extremely powerful race in the Abyssal Civilization, were a dragon species within the Abyss. In the Song Clan’s genetic lineage, they barely ranked fifth, making them the favored children of the Star Sea, born beneath the peak of the Star Sea’s races.
These creatures not only possessed terrifying physical strength but also had a “spirit” talent far beyond that of ordinary creatures. They referred to it as a magic talent, and the magic they controlled was distinctly different from ordinary magic, demonstrating immense power known as Draconic Magic.
Thinking of this, everyone’s eyes filled with profound fear as they looked at the black-scaled giant claw below in the temple.
Just the dragon claw was this large; without a doubt, the creature behind it must be a Fifth-Rank or higher Abyssal Dragon.
How could they not be afraid?
At this moment, the Calm Sky Vessel suddenly unleashed a beam of Mixed cave extreme yang sword intent divine light that was nearly three thousand meters long.
Whoosh!
The speed of the mixed cave extreme yang sword intent divine light was beyond imagination, crossing tens of thousands of meters in an instant before striking the black-scaled giant claw.
With this blow, the stalemate between the two attacks was instantly broken.
Although the Fifth-Rank Abyssal Dragon’s combat power was awe-inspiring, it should be remembered that it had only extended a single dragon claw across an endless distance. After the mixed cave extreme yang sword intent divine light struck, it instinctively withdrew its claw in pain.
At the same time, the other three warships, which had already been paying attention to this, simultaneously burst into action, focusing multiple main cannons of purple quality or higher.
Crack Crack Crack!
The rhombic crystal in the temple could no longer withstand the continuous attacks and shattered with a loud boom.
With the crystal’s destruction, the spatial rift within it also began to collapse.
The collapse of the spatial channel caused endless void currents and void gales to rage within, leaving even the terrifying Fifth-Rank Abyssal Dragon behind with no means to deal with the situation.
Roar!
An angry dragon roar echoed through the spatial rift, filled with endless rage and reluctance.
After a few seconds, the spatial rift completely collapsed, and the entire void seam disappeared.
Seeing this, Song Chi and the others’ faces lit up with radiant smiles.
Not only was the Grade 3 Star Sea Floating Land under their feet about to fully belong to their Tenth Direct Line, but also because dozens of Second and Third-Rank Abyssal Dragons had already been transported into the temple.
These were all dragons with pure bloodlines.
Abyssal Dragons, in the Western Dragon system, were pure-blooded dragons with strong bloodlines. They generally reached the Third Rank by adulthood, and with some opportunities, breaking through to the Fourth Rank would not be difficult.
Moreover, the Abyssal Dragon race had Sovereign-level dragons.
The value of these dozens of pure-blooded Abyssal Dragons was immense. Whether they were submitted to the clan or cultivated by themselves, they would bring significant benefits.
"Alright, try to capture them alive as much as possible. These are all treasures..."
Inside the RoaringBattleLion, Song Ming Song gave the order, then said to Song Chi:
"As for you, Little Chi, continue to clear out the remaining Dragon Vein Dogheads. There are over a hundred Second and Third-Rank Dragon Vein Dogheads in this temple alone, so don’t waste them!"
Song Chi nodded, controlling the Calm Sky Vessel to continue clearing out the Dragon Vein Dogheads.
Time passed, and after an hour, the Calm Sky Vessel’s promotion success rate reached 82%.
After two hours, it reached 84%.
Four hours later, it was at 87%.
...
The floating land under their feet, being nearly a Grade 4 Floating Land, truly harbored a significant number of Second and Third-Rank creatures.
After clearing all the Dragon Vein Dogheads in the entire City of Sacred Dragons, Song Chi continued to control the Calm Sky Vessel to roam across the entire floating land.
Although the Second and Third-Rank creatures in other regions were not as dense as in the city, their numbers were still considerable. Under the Calm Sky Vessel’s continuous search and hunt, the promotion success rate continued to rise.
By the seventh day, after almost touring the entire floating land, Song Chi finally stopped his search.
For one, the Second and Third-Rank creatures on this floating land were almost all gone. For another, the Calm Sky Vessel’s promotion success rate had already reached a very high level.
Warship Promotion Task (Calm Sky Vessel)
Current Promotion Success Rate: 95.3%
Special Promotion Resources (3/3): Ice Source Stone 1, Ten-Thousand-Year Volcanic Lava Iron Mother 1, Third-Rank Blood Core 1
Additional Promotion Resources: None
Immersed in Alien Blood: Half-Step Fourth-Rank Dragon Vein Doghead... Total 85.2%.
"95.3%!"
Looking at this number, Song Chi’s eyes flickered with indecision, but he finally decided to find his grandfather and the others.
During this time, the clan had already dispatched a large number of clan members to develop this Grade 3 Floating Land, which had almost no Second-Rank or higher creatures left.
As for his grandfather and the others, after enslaving the dozens of Abyssal Dragons and sending them back to the clan, they had left this floating land to explore the surrounding areas to see if there were any other Star Sea Floating Lands.
Seeing his grandfather and great-uncle shake their heads, Song Chi understood that this Grade 3 Floating Land was likely an isolated floating land, with no other floating lands in the vast surrounding star domain.
With this conclusion, Song Chi made his decision.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll head to the Bailin Star Region. There are still many Second-Rank Bailin Race members there. After clearing them, the Calm Sky Vessel’s promotion success rate should increase even more!"
