Chapter 398: Summoning Spirit Puppets
Chapter 398: Summoning Spirit Puppets
Song Chi, Yuan Zu, and Song Ze's separation occurred nearly ten thousand light-years away from the Gold Sun Continent.
After the Unmoving Bodhimanda Ship, the Luofu Sword Sect continued eastward, while Song Chi piloted the Cob Alt Number northward.
The North Dome Heavenly Kingdom, located in the North Dome Star Domain, was not one of the six major star domains of the Radiant Han Kingdom's central region. Instead, it was situated in the northern part of the kingdom, marking the frontline territory facing the Calamity Star Tribe civilization.
Equipped with two fifth-rank orange-quality warp devices, the Aurora Transit Device and the Roar Transit Device, Song Chi's journey proceeded at a rapid pace.
He activated the warp device as soon as the cooldown period ended, and when it entered cooldown again, he ventured into the Ruins Market to continue his understanding of the two primary laws.
However, due to the difficulty of purchasing a star map covering the entire kingdom, each time he arrived in a new star domain, he had to wait for the "Warp Chart Collector" trait to complete the star map collection, which somewhat affected his travel speed.
A month later, the Cob Alt Number left the central six star domains of the kingdom and successfully entered the northern region.
The northern part of the kingdom also had dozens of star domains, and to reach the North Dome Star Domain, he had to pass through nearly twenty star domains.
The northern region of the Radiant Han Kingdom consisted of over twenty star domains, with the North Dome Star Domain being the largest. Aside from this, there was also a unique star domain known as the Wolf Fang Star Domain.
Situated in the heart of the northern region, the Wolf Fang Star Domain had become the busiest star domain in the north. At all times, fleets entered and exited, heading to neighboring star domains.
Beneath the extreme prosperity and bustle lay chaos and bloodshed. The only consolation was that under the rules set by the Liu Clan and the North Dome Heavenly Kingdom, such conflicts were mostly restricted to the fourth rank and below.
...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Warning: The warship has sustained damage. The energy shield is overloaded, and the hull armor has suffered 14% damage. Please repair immediately!]
[Warning: The warship has sustained damage. The hull armor has suffered 17% damage, and the ship has sustained 1% damage. Please repair immediately!]
Amid the booming cannon fire, urgent alarm sounds echoed from the greenish-hued cruiser.
In the warship's control room, the slightly aged captain glared at the communication hologram before him, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man on the other side of the screen, gritting his teeth.
"Zeng Han, are you daring to break our agreement?"
The middle-aged man on the other side smiled sinisterly.
"Old Wu, you don't seriously think a blue-quality alliance contract can restrict us veteran cruiser captains, do you?"
"Enough talk. Hand over everything you obtained from that ruin, and I'll spare your great-grandson, considering our years of cooperation!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man glanced at the young man standing behind Old Wu.
The youth, named Wu Sheng, was Old Wu's great-grandson, who had just turned 31 and awakened his Flame Seed a little over a year ago.
Old Wu's gaze swept over the two other cruisers in the surrounding starry sky, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
However, in the blink of an eye, that determination vanished.
He was a veteran cruiser captain who had lived for hundreds of years, not a novice.
Wu Sheng possessed exceptional talent, having awakened a purple-quality Flame Seed. His performance in exploring other star domains over the past year had been impressive, and a few months ago, a fourth-rank deputy city lord from Yuan Kong City had already considered taking him as a disciple. This news had spread like wildfire in this star sector, and Zeng Han was certainly aware of it.
Knowing this, would the other party let go of someone who might pose a significant threat to them in the future?
The answer was obvious.
Seeing that Old Wu remained silent, Zeng Han, understanding his intention, wasted no time. He signaled the other two cruiser captains to attack with full force.
Just as the starry sky had quieted down, it was filled with intense cannon fire once again.
"Zeng Han, are you determined to go to such lengths? If I install these components or absorb them into my Flame Ancestral Orifice, even if you sink the Battle Wu, you won't get your hands on these high-quality components!"
Old Wu roared as the damage to the warship's hull armor became more severe.
However, the three cruisers on the other side showed no signs of backing down.
Just as the Battle Wu seemed on the verge of silence, a space fluctuation suddenly appeared hundreds of thousands of meters away, followed by the emergence of a 1,300-meter cruiser enveloped in a five-colored light shield from the void.
"This..."
On the other side of the Battle Wu, Zeng Han and the other two captains' faces changed, assuming that Old Wu's reinforcements had arrived.
But seeing only one cruiser, the three captains breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, the distant cruiser turned its hull, completely easing their tension.
In the control room of the Cob Alt Number, Song Chi was also surprised by the scene he encountered after the warp.
This warp had covered a distance of over a thousand light-years, directly entering the Wolf Fang Star Domain from another star domain. With such a vast distance and the "Warp Chart Collector" trait lacking effects like magical energy detection, who could have predicted a battle taking place a thousand light-years away?
Scanning the battlefield where the four cruisers were engaged, Song Chi had no intention of getting involved. He only wanted to reach the North Dome Star Domain as soon as possible, and he had no interest in anything else.
However, at that moment, a communication request was sent to the Cob Alt Number.
Not wanting to get involved, he declined the request.
But the other party quickly sent a second request.
Frowning slightly, Song Chi hesitated before accepting the second communication request.
Apparently aware of Song Chi's reluctance to interfere, the hopeful Old Wu got straight to the point after the connection was established.
"Friend, I have a red-quality Epic-tier special component. I only ask that you save the lives of the two of us and send us back to Yuan Kong City!"
"I swear, this red-quality component is the most valuable item we possess, and it is the source of this battle!"
He then sent over a screenshot of the attribute panel.
Scanning the screenshot, Song Chi, who had initially been disinterested, suddenly lit up with excitement.
Summoning Spirit Puppet lv0
Quality: Red
Attribute: Spirit Summoning
Attribute 2: Spirit Guardian
Attribute 3: Summoning Distance Doubled
Cost: 20/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Charge: 60s; Buffer: 24 hours
Effect: Consumes 1000 Shadow Energy Points to gather a Summoning Mark, which can be designated to be imprinted on a specified organism or object. At the same time, only one Summoning Mark can exist.
Upgrade Requirements: 20 strands of Floating Land Essence (Zero Rank), 2000 Shadow Energy Points
{Spirit Summoning: Consumes 10,000 Shadow Energy Points to actively activate the Summoning Mark. The organism or object imprinted with the Summoning Mark will be instantly teleported back to the loaded Battleship (Note: The organism or object imprinted with the Summoning Mark must not exceed 1/10 of the battleship's volume, and the distance from the battleship during summoning must not exceed 0.02 (0.01 x 2) light-years.)}
{Spirit Guardian: After the component is loaded, a Spirit Puppet Phantom will automatically gather in the Flame Seed of the loaded battleship captain, guarding the captain's mind, divine mind, and Flame Seed. If the Spirit Puppet Phantom is destroyed by external attacks, it will regroup after 24 hours.}
This is clearly a remote summoning component, a type that Song Chi had been searching for without success, and it also comes with an additional attribute of guarding the divine mind, making it undoubtedly a top-tier component.
Therefore, Song Chi changed his mind.
At the bow of the Azure Sky, the two main cannons quickly charged.
Zeng Han and his two companions didn't know why Song Chi had chosen to take action, but they knew that it must be because of some promise of reward from Wu Laotou.
Soon, the Azure Sky connected another communication.
"Friend, are you sure you want to interfere? We have three cruisers, so I suggest you think twice!"
"Is that all?"
Song Chi's expression remained calm, and the next second, the two main cannons fired in succession.
A beam of light and a quantum sword light shot out one after the other, and the next second, they landed on the energy shields of the two cruisers ahead.
Inside the cruisers, the two captains showed signs of terror.
As these two attacks landed, in less than two seconds, the energy shields of their ships overloaded, and soon after, the damage to the hulls and armor exceeded their imagination.
Almost instinctively, the two captains activated the defensive attribute of their hull armor, and only then did they barely withstand the attacks.
Instantly, the two captains realized that the two main cannon components of the Azure Sky must have been enhanced to the Fourth Rank Limit, or even Fifth Rank, and the quality was quite impressive.
"Damn, these are probably cruiser captains from a major power, and the two main cannons are at least Orange quality, with a good chance of being Red. What should we do?"
In the communication group chat of the three cruisers, the captain of the cruiser that had just been attacked spoke.
"What else can we do? Retreat!!!"
Zeng Han's expression turned grim, but he had no other choice. The three cruisers were very decisive, quickly turning their ships around and leaving without any hesitation.
Song Chi was a bit surprised. It was rare to see such decisive Flame Ship Captains, as most were the type who wouldn't budge until they saw the coffin. He didn't choose to pursue, as he was a latecomer to the situation, and the other side had never attacked the Azure Sky. He never intended to go all out.
Otherwise, he would have activated the attack attribute directly instead of just firing the two main cannons.
With just two cruisers, if he had activated the attack attribute, it would have been an instant annihilation, with no other outcome.
Of course, whether the captains of the two cruisers ahead perceived the two attacks as ordinary cannon fire or attribute attacks is unknown.
It wasn't until the three cruisers disappeared from sight that Wu Laotou and his grandson on the Battle Wu cruiser realized what had happened, and they looked at the Azure Sky with disbelief.
Wu Laotou immediately guessed that the Azure Sky might have an extraordinary origin, and he politely thanked Song Chi. However, Song Chi didn't rush to take out the Summoning Spirit Puppet component.
With the power the Azure Sky had displayed, sinking the Battle Wu would be too easy. Before leaving the danger zone, keeping this Red Epic component in hand would make the Azure Sky a little more cautious.
Song Chi didn't force the issue. The Azure Sky's engines roared, and as he spoke the coordinates of Yuan Kong City from the warp chart, the Battle Wu slowly followed behind.
A few hours later, as the warp devices of the two ships cooled down, they activated the spatial jump one after the other.
Yuan Kong Star Sector, Yuan Kong Floating Land.
Yuan Kong Floating Land is a Fourth Rank Resource-Type Floating Land. After its resources were depleted thousands of years ago, it was abandoned by several major powers in the Wolf Fang Star Domain. Finally, the Yuan Kong City Lord occupied this land and built a Star Fortress City upon it.
Two thousand years ago, the Yuan Kong City Lord successfully entered the ranks of Battleship Captains. With his defense and the prohibition against fighting within Yuan Kong City, over time, this Yuan Kong City gradually became a sanctuary for low-rank Flame Ship Captains tormented by the chaos of the star domain.
Even now, although the Battleship Captain who was the Yuan Kong City Lord no longer deals with mundane matters, the rules he established have never been changed. This is because the one who currently controls this floating fortress city is the direct descendant of the Battleship Captain, a Chasing Deer Ship Captain with equally impressive combat power.
On this day, the Azure Sky and the Battle Wu arrived at Yuan Kong City one after the other.
However, the two ships did not enter the city directly, not only because of the no-fly zone within Yuan Kong City but also because a Chasing Deer Ship and two cruisers were blocking their path.
