Chapter 292: Sky Dome's New Round of Enhancements
Chapter 292: Sky Dome's New Round of Enhancements
Staring at the new attribute panel before him, Song Chi’s eyes visibly lit up with excitement.
The attribute boosts after reaching lv50 were secondary; the main point was the “Red (1/3)” label under the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] quality column.
This meant that his previous guess was correct: this red-quality ship hull armor could indeed autonomously absorb similar neutron star remnants to enhance its own quality.
Although it was a bit different from what he had expected—just one neutron star remnant wasn’t enough to directly promote the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component, but rather, it required three—it was still enough to surprise him.
Compared to the past, things were different now. A decade ago, the red epic quality [Central Star Nuclear Armor] was one of the highest-quality components on the Sky Dome. But things had changed. With the improvement of Song Chi’s perspective and the installation of new high-tier components on the Sky Dome, the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] was no longer as impressive as it once was.
Due to the quality limitations of this component, it was no longer considered a top-tier component, at best it was just outstanding in terms of attributes.
Not to mention, when he was selecting rewards in the Merit Tower, he had the opportunity to choose a higher-quality silver legendary ship hull armor. However, the rarity of its attributes was far inferior to that of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor], so he ultimately excluded it.
Whether it was the "Central Star Fission" or the "Central Star Nuclear-Pulse," both attributes were particularly favored by Song Chi.
In recent years, with the successive installation of silver and golden components on the Sky Dome, Song Chi was somewhat unsatisfied with the quality of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component.
Originally, he had thought about whether he could enhance the cultivation secret realm to the seventh tier and then try to promote the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to see if he could obtain a seventh-tier [Silver Apple]. This idea was clearly extremely difficult to achieve, and he himself was mentally prepared and didn’t have high hopes.
However, he never expected that this problem would be directly solved.
After the joy subsided, Song Chi’s attention returned to the (1/3) label. The ability of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] to autonomously advance was indeed excellent news, but he couldn’t be too optimistic. Neutron star remnants were already rare, and he needed to collect two more, which would be a long and arduous task.
For the second component to enhance, there was no need for much consideration. Currently, the Sky Dome only had a few high-quality components, and the only one that could form a combo effect with the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] was the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield].
This silver energy shield was currently at lv45, and Song Chi didn’t hesitate, directly enhancing it to lv50.
Although it was another significant expenditure of high-tier resources, the boost to the Sky Dome’s combat power was substantial, especially when paired with the [Central Star Nuclear Armor]. The two fifth-tier components combined to form the thickest layers of armor on the Sky Dome.
(No need to list the attributes, right?)
For the third component to enhance, Song Chi’s original target was the newly installed [Final Sanctuary] component. However, considering the energy supply of the warship became somewhat tight after multiple components were enhanced to the fifth tier, he first enhanced the [Light Energy Convergence Engine] from lv50 to lv59.
Of course, he only had a little more than ten strands of fifth-tier floating land essence, which was insufficient to complete this enhancement directly. In the end, Song Chi returned to the outside world, exchanging all his [Spirit Tempering Fruits] and 40 [Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruits] for enough fifth-tier floating land essence from multiple clan elders, successfully enhancing it to lv59.
Although it wasn’t a major tier enhancement, it significantly improved the energy efficiency, allowing him to continue enhancing other components with peace of mind.
Soon, after consuming large amounts of zero, first, second, third, and fourth-tier floating land essence, as well as titanium crystal and law stones, the [Final Sanctuary] component was successfully enhanced to lv50.
After the fifth tier, the repair effect of this component greatly improved.
Final Sanctuary lv50
Quality: Silver
Characteristics: Final Sanctuary
Characteristic 2: Reduce Buffer Time by 30%
Characteristic 3: Double Repair Effect
Characteristic 4: Additional 1 Use
Consumption: 60,000 per use (Ether Energy Points)
Uses: 2/2; Buffer: 9.8 hours
Effect: Upon activation, immediately repair 64% (32% x 2) of the ship hull armor, restore 64% (32% x 2) of the energy shield, and repair 34% (17% x 2) of the ship hull.
...
Unfortunately, although the regular repair effect had greatly improved, the "Final Sanctuary" characteristic remained unchanged, a constant characteristic.
However, this did not negate the fact that this characteristic was a super-premium characteristic.
After all, this feature does more than just directly restore the ship's hull, armor, and energy shield to perfect condition. Its true power lies in another aspect: even if the hull armor is completely destroyed and the energy shield is overloaded, as long as the ship itself has not sunk, activating this feature will fully restore it.
To put it more dramatically, this feature is like giving the Sky Dome a second life. Even if the first encounter is a mess, as long as it isn’t instantly killed, there’s a chance to start over.
As for the five-year cooldown, with the "Bodhimanda Meditation Seal: Inner Time Speed" characteristic, it actually only takes one year, which is still acceptable.
In the following time, Song Chi began to comprehensively reinforce various components inside the Sky Dome.
- Soul-Annihilating Eye Light Cannon: lv40 → lv50
- Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm: lv40 → lv50
- External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bullet Launcher: lv40 → lv50
- Taiyi Soul-Stabilizing Stele: lv44 → lv50
- Electromagnetic Thunder Light Cannon: lv39 → lv40
- Water Molecule Isolation Membrane: lv30 → lv40
- Void Membrane: lv30 → lv40
- Proportional Scaling Device: lv39 → lv40
- Abnormal Status Purifier: lv39 → lv40
With this series of reinforcements, the change in the Sky Dome's combat power is evident. If, during the challenge of the Bosa Inheritance Tower, the Sky Dome already had the combat power of a regular fourth-rank ship and the ability to instantly kill regular fourth-rank creatures with the "Central Star Fracture" characteristic, then after this round of reinforcements, the Sky Dome must have reached the peak fourth-rank combat power. If it uses "Central Star Fracture" and the "Bodhimanda Meditation Seal" as trump cards, it might even have the ability to kill a half-step fifth-rank creature.
Happy as he was, Song Chi's face soon turned bitter. The surge in the flagship's combat power came with the complete depletion of the high and mid-tier resources he had just acquired.
He originally planned to continue reinforcing components like the Crimson Fire Sky Curtain Cannon, Shadow Demon Cannon, and Spirit Eye Gaze, but his resources were already exhausted, leaving him no choice but to sigh in resignation.
"The combat power of a Flame Torch Warship is indeed formidable, and over-level combat is common, but it's just too expensive..."
"During this trip to the capital star domain of the principality, the news of the Void Crystal must be the top priority. Once the Market Ruins can be promoted to the third rank, the Spirit Machine Synthesis Platform will be able to synthesize 100 strands of fourth-rank floating land essence per month, 1200 strands per year, which should make things much more comfortable..."
With this thought, Song Chi recalled the Sky Dome. He didn’t stay in the Multiverse Market any longer but returned to the outside world.
Although there was no discomfort like in the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, the rule insights he gained needed to be integrated and corrected using the star sea laws, so staying in the Market Ruins for too long wasn’t feasible.
In the courtyard, Song Chi sat cross-legged, clutching a low-level spatial law crystal in his hand. While using the star sea mystic realm to repair his rule insights, he also worked on enhancing his rule perception, maximizing the use of his time.
When tired, he would rest, and he would occasionally enter the Market Ruins to practice and familiarize himself with the two secret techniques, returning to a normal life.
However, despite his desire to continue this way, circumstances did not allow it.
After staying in the Pulse Center for three days and handling all necessary matters, Song Chi knew he had to set off. Otherwise, the Clan Head would soon come to urge him.
Before leaving, Song Chi called Song Ting to his side.
It had been ten years, and nearly eight years had passed since her awakening. Her Ziteng had already been promoted to an ether energy airship, and with the support of large amounts of resources from their parents, it might even reach the second-rank escort ship in a few more years.
Seeing Song Ting, who had lost her naivety from eight years of exploring the alien star domain and whose personality was no longer as flighty as before, Song Chi felt a moment of dizziness.
Unconsciously, he was already 50 years old, and it had been 20 years since his own awakening.
"Brother!"
Her voice pulled him back to reality. Song Chi shook his head, suppressing the sentiment in his heart, and softly said:
"Girl, send me the detailed attribute map of your flagship, and I'll take a look..."
In the past, this girl would have huffed in a coquettish manner, but now she was very obedient and sent the Ziteng's warship attribute map.
- Name: Ziteng
- Model: Flame Torch - Ether Energy Airship
- Level: lv19
- Basic Components: White Flame Torch Hull lv19, Spirit Energy Photon Cannon (Blue) lv29, Dark Energy Blaze Cannon (Blue) lv29, Purple Copper Hull Armor (Blue) lv29, Kinetic Hyper Engine (Purple) lv29, Repulsion Shield (Purple) lv29, Seeker Radar (Blue) lv29, Ether Training Chamber lv19 (8/8)
Additional Components: …
Supplies: 1040 strands of Zero Tier Floating Land Essence, 980 strands of First Tier Floating Land Essence, 600 strands of Second Tier Floating Land Essence, 200 strands of Third Tier Floating Land Essence, 24 tons of Mercury Crystal, basic nutrient elixirs, clean water, …
After reviewing the attribute chart, Song Chi's mind raced.
It was clear that his parents had provided ample support for the girl. Even at the First Tier, she already had two purple quality basic components and one purple quality war puppet tree component, all of which had been enhanced to their limits.
Seeing Song Chi in deep thought, Song Ting did not interrupt. She knew that Song Chi was surely selecting various components for her.
Soon, Song Chi took out several items from the Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture.
An orange quality ship hull armor, an orange quality Annihilation Beam Cannon, a purple quality radar, and a strand of the purple supreme ascension fire source he had traded for a few years ago from a fire elemental life form.
In addition, there were 2000 strands of Second Tier Floating Land Essence, 1000 strands of Third Tier Floating Land Essence, and 500 Titanium Crystals.
Seeing these items, Song Ting's bright eyes shone even brighter, and she did not refuse.
As the family's Seventh Sequence, she had a certain understanding of her older brother's assets, so she did not feel much psychological burden.
Of course, her gratitude was inevitable.
"Thank you, Brother!!"
…
After greeting the elders, the Sky Dome quickly disappeared into the depths of the sky.
This time, it was not to initiate an exploration of an alien star domain but to head to the family's dedicated spatial teleportation gate outside the Longji Continent.
Although the Song family had just acquired the Spatial Wormhole Generator component, they could not openly announce it or use it freely in the Dingshai Star Domain until the family had sufficient strength. Therefore, the Song family members' travel methods would likely not change for a long time.
Of course, this applied to the Dingshai Star Domain. In the alien star domains under the family's control, the Spatial Wormhole Generator would be put into use soon.
Song Chi's timing was not ideal, and there were quite a few family members queuing at the teleportation gate. He would likely have to wait a few days to get his turn.
Regarding revealing his identity, he knew it would certainly help. The title of the current Seventh Sequence of the family was significant. If people knew it was him, the family members in front of him would likely make way immediately.
However, Song Chi did not do this. Not only would it be too showy, but he was not in a rush either.
But the result was that he still underestimated his current influence.
Even without shutting down the energy shield of the warship, the sharp-eyed family members around him recognized his identity through some not-so-obvious characteristics of the Sky Dome.
"It's the Seventh Prince, hurry, everyone, make way!"
"Seventh Prince!"
Amidst the excited and respectful voices, the family members in front of him spontaneously made a path.
Song Chi was genuinely surprised but still accepted the kindness of his family members.
"Thank you all!"
…
In the southern part of the Dingshai Star Domain, at the space gate teleportation transfer station.
This massive ring-shaped orbital transfer station was as bustling as ever, with tens of thousands of various tiers of Flame Torch Warships gathered there, constantly declaring its popularity and congestion.
This time, Song Chi was smarter. He specially concealed a few recognizable parts of the Sky Dome's hull before going to register and buy a ticket.
Without the convenience of being a Song family member and the Seventh Sequence, he was unsurprisingly scheduled for a week later.
With no intention of returning to the Market Mystic Realm, he took out a low-grade spatial law crystal and quietly began to cultivate on the Sky Dome.
Seven days later, he successfully passed through the teleportation gate and arrived in the Golden Lion Star Domain.
Here, to reach the capital star domain of the principality, he still needed to travel south through the Golden Lion Star Domain. In the southern part of the Golden Lion Star Domain, there was another transfer station. After passing through that station, he could continue to the "Golden Wind Star Domain," one of the three core star domains of the principality.
The Morning Star Principality had only the Golden Dragon, Golden Wind, and Golden Horn star domains at its founding. Over the following millennia, it slowly expanded outward from these three core star domains, eventually forming the twelve major star domains of today's principality.
There was also one thing that caught Song Chi's attention: the Golden Wind Star Domain was the territory of the "Eagle Family," which he had heard about multiple times in the past. Although they did not have the absolute control over the Dingshai Star Domain like the Song Clan, it was still considered their territory.
