Chapter 425: Suppression and Celebration
Chapter 425: Suppression and Celebration
Without hesitation, the Binding Divine Chain·Pseudo component successfully restrained the opponent, and Song Chi activated the Neutron Star Fission trait.
Ever since the Neutron Star Core Armor was promoted to Silver quality, this trait has rarely been activated. The sudden change now fully unleashed the might of the miniature neutron star.
Sizzling sounds filled the air, and the first to be affected was not the miniature black star in front, but the several alloy chains created by the Binding Divine Chain·Pseudo component. Despite the miniature neutron star emitting temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, even though the component had already evolved to Orange quality, it was still not enough.
As the alloy chains melted, the Silver Energy Shield of Long Sun Wu's flagship was the first to be affected.
Since Song Chi had already depleted a significant portion of the shield's value earlier, and Long Sun Wu had just recovered from the time stasis, he only had time to activate the protective traits of the ship's armor and did not have time to activate the repair components. Therefore, this energy shield lasted no longer than the alloy chains before it overloaded and failed.
Next, the black star that Long Sun Wu's flagship had transformed into was affected.
Although both were special celestial bodies from the previous Multiverse era, in the face of an extreme celestial body like a neutron star, which could rival a black hole, the black star was far inferior.
The sizzling sounds intensified, and the black rock layer on the surface of the black star rapidly evaporated.
In less than two seconds, an entire black star was almost half-melted by the terrifying heat.
However, that was as far as it went. After transforming into a miniature neutron star, the Celestial Ruin Heaven only emitted extreme heat for an instant and not continuously. The temperature of tens of millions of degrees had already dissipated.
Song Chi voluntarily exited the miniature neutron star form and did not stop his actions.
Since he was restricted by the Anti-Magic Field and could not use most of his traits, he directly transformed the Celestial Ruin Heaven into the Mythical Battleframe Form. The Silver Dragon Spear in the giant mecha's arm continuously slashed across the surface of the half-melted black star.
He continued until the black star fully reverted to its battleship form and completely lost its ability to move.
Seeing that the ultimate goal had been achieved, Song Chi stopped his actions.
This was the bottom line agreed upon by everyone. If he continued, not only would the Right Noble Lineage disagree, but the entire Changsun family might oppose it.
Whether intentionally or not, as the Silver Dragon Spear was retracted, the Celestial Ruin Heaven in its mecha form turned its head and looked down at the Chilong Floating Land.
At the same time, the virtual light screen above the Thunder Square froze on an image, showing the exact moment when the giant mecha turned its gaze downward.
This scene was deliberately created by Song Chi. While staring directly at the crowd in the square, he also gave a clear slap in the face to the Right Noble Lineage members who had projected the light screen, making their expressions particularly awkward.
Soon, the projection light screen dissipated, but the atmosphere in the square remained somewhat eerie.
Until someone who was friendly with Cui Yulong and the Qinghe Cui family smiled and said, "What a spectacular battle! But it seems that the little guy from the Radiant Star Tower is even more formidable. Such a talented prodigy, Yulong, we old folks should have the opportunity to meet him in person!"
"Indeed, to be able to defeat a direct descendant of the Changsun family face-to-face, his strength is truly impressive!"
Although they did not explicitly state it, the underlying message was clear—the Right Noble Lineage was being belittled.
After all, Long Sun Wu was from the Right Noble Lineage.
In another part of the Chilong Floating Land, in Chilong City.
With the return of the Celestial Ruin Heaven, on the rooftop of the Dragon Tiger Arena Tower, the second prince of the Tang Dynasty was waiting with a smile.
When Song Chi and Cui Ze exited the Celestial Ruin Heaven, Li Chengxuan's smile widened.
"Congratulations, Brother Jingze. It seems these rewards already have an owner."
As he spoke, he threw the two boxes of Sixth-Rank Moon Spring, including the Pulse Star Energy Shield and the 10kg Primordial Copper, to Song Chi.
Song Chi readily accepted them. Long Sun Wu's flagship had lost its ability to move and was still floating in space. There was no doubt that Song Chi had won this battle.
After storing the items in the Flame Ancestor's Wisdom Orifice and the Storage Capsule, Song Chi and Cui Ze had no intention of lingering. After experiencing this event and visiting many places in the past few days, Cui Ze no longer had any other thoughts. At this moment, he only wanted to return to the Plum Blossom Courtyard.
However, Li Chengxuan spoke up, "Brother Jingze, I heard that you're collecting resources like Fifth-Rank Void Crystals, Black Hole Dense Stones, and Voidstones?"
Song Chi paused and turned to him, "Yes, does the Second Prince have these resources?"
The other party was the current second prince of a dynasty, and according to Cui Ze, his strength was far superior to Long Sun Wu. He must have many valuable items.
Li Chengxuan thought for a moment and nodded, "I don't have Black Hole Dense Stones or Voidstones, but I do have a few Fifth-Rank Void Crystals."
He took out four translucent crystal cores, which were indeed Fifth-Rank Void Crystals.
Song Chi offered to trade them for a Sixth-Rank Floating Land Essence, but Li Chengxuan shook his head in refusal.
"I wonder if Brother Jingze's Sixth-Rank Moon Spring is available for trade?"
Song Chi immediately shook his head.
He only had two of those items, and they were meant for the Primordial Ancestor. There was no way he would trade them casually.
The Sixth-Rank Moon Spring, along with the Three-Eye Spirit Ring component, would allow the Sea Dominating Dragon Soarer to attempt to reach Tier 7 at the right time. Even if the attempt failed, there would not be a significant loss. With Song Wujiang being only over three thousand years old, he would have the opportunity to cultivate another flagship.
Each Sixth-Rank Moon Spring was a chance for the Song family to try and enter the ranks of the Immortal Clans. It was a crucial step in significantly enhancing the Song family's chances of becoming an Immortal Clan. Trading them was out of the question.
Li Chengxuan was not surprised by the refusal. He did not press the issue but instead asked, "Then, do you have any Fifth-Rank Moon Spring?"
As the contemporary second prince of the Li Tang Royal Family, he was confident in his ability to reach Tier 5 Battleship Captain.
However, reaching Tier 6 Fearless Ship Captain was a different matter.
The Li family of the Tang Dynasty was a giant clan, even more powerful than the Changsun family. Consequently, the number of Li family members was unimaginable. With such a vast population, the Li family never lacked Fearless Ship Captains.
Although Li Chengxuan was considered an outstanding descendant in the past two centuries, he was not particularly remarkable in the Li family's long history of over ten million years.
Given this, the Li family would not provide Li Chengxuan with many resources, as his current potential did not indicate a strong likelihood of becoming a Planet Destroyer Fleet Admiral in the future.
This is also why Li Chengxuan wanted to obtain a fifth-rank Moon Spring from Song Chi, as having this Moon Spring would give him another chance to attempt the sixth rank, rather than being abandoned by the family after a failed attempt.
As long as he could advance to the sixth rank, he could explore most of the Star Sea, and there might even be a chance to become a Planet Destroyer Fleet Admiral in the future.
Song Chi didn't rush to respond. After pondering for a while, he finally spoke, "A fifth-rank Moon Spring in exchange for four fifth-rank Void Crystals?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Li Chengxuan nod, he took out the fifth-rank Moon Spring he had on him and agreed to the trade.
Song Chi's thoughts were simple. The New Moon Tribe behind the fourth-rank Night Elf could offer two sixth-rank Moon Springs, so it was clear that they would have even more fifth-rank Moon Springs. All he needed to do was come up with some ideas to get a few more from them later.
Secondly, the actual value of a fifth-rank Moon Spring was roughly equivalent to a red epic component, while four fifth-rank Void Crystals corresponded to four strands of sixth-rank Floating Land Essence, which was far more valuable.
The trade was completed, and both parties were delighted.
After parting ways with Li Chengxuan, Song Chi and his companion quickly returned to the Plum Blossom Courtyard.
The next day, Cui Yulong, who had been busy for several days, finally reappeared.
The first thing this beautiful woman said upon entering the courtyard was to highly praise Song Chi.
"Jingzhi, you did well this time, giving those from the Right Noble Lineage a hard slap and earning your sister some face."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and took out hundreds of mineral stones imbued with a hint of spatial force—the very Voidstones she had promised Song Chi.
After Song Chi received these Voidstones, Cui Yulong glared at Cui Ze, who was cowering to the side. As a well-known female powerhouse of the Changsun family, she was naturally aware of the cause and effect of this conflict.
It was clear that this conflict was entirely caused by her nephew, and if it weren't for Song Chi's formidable strength, Cui Ze would have been at the mercy of the Dragon Tiger Arena.
However, Song Chi stepped in to relieve Cui Ze of the situation.
"Sister Yulong, there's no need to blame him too much. The Right Noble Lineage has eyes and ears everywhere. Unless we stay within the Plum Blossom Courtyard and never leave, they will always find reasons to cause trouble."
By his side, Cui Ze nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Cui Yulong didn't seem to be truly upset, Song Chi continued, "Since the matter is settled and you're almost done with your work, I think I'll head back to the Star Tower."
Cui Yulong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she glared at Song Chi.
"Why the rush? The old man's grand birthday celebration is in two days, and there will be plenty of good things at the banquet. Are you sure you want to leave?"
Upon hearing this, Song Chi's eyes lit up.
"How could I? I'll follow your arrangements, Sister Yulong!"
Time flew by, and two days passed in a flash.
During these two days, Song Chi also strengthened the Divine Kingdom Task Platform to the fourth rank, but this was still far from enough. To properly launch the Divine Kingdom Task Platform, it needed to be strengthened to at least the sixth rank; otherwise, it would only lower the prestige of the Multiverse Marketplace.
During these two days, the Chilong Floating Land was bustling with activity. Countless Flame Warships descended from the sky, and most of these Flame Captains were primarily Deer Hunt Ships. Just the number of Deer Hunt Ships that Song Chi saw was likely no less than five hundred, which was astonishing.
It was hard to believe that even the entire Morning Star Kingdom might only have this number of Deer Hunt Ships, and this was just a small portion of the guests attending the banquet.
This alone showed the immense gap between the two kingdoms.
After a brief moment of reflection, Song Chi turned his attention back.
Currently, the Great Expansion War of the Yaohan Kingdom was in full swing. It was believed that by the end of this war, the territory of the Morning Star Kingdom would significantly expand. Even if it didn't increase by much, at least its current diameter of less than thirty thousand light-years could easily double or triple.
Although it still couldn't compare to the Tang Dynasty, which spanned over two million four hundred thousand light-years, Song Chi believed that his family's strength would greatly increase during this Great Expansion War.
On the third day, the ten-thousand-year grand birthday celebration of Longsun Wu Yong, the ancestor of the Changsun family, officially began.
Through this banquet, Song Chi's horizons were broadened once again.
At the head table of the banquet, aside from Longsun Wu Yong himself, the eighth-rank ancestor of the Li Royal Family of the Tang Dynasty also made an appearance. Furthermore, the accompanying guests were all seventh-rank Planet Destroyer Fleet Admirals, numbering twelve in total.
As for the sixth-rank Fearless Fleet Admirals, there were over a hundred of them, not to mention the even greater number of Battleship Captains and Deer Hunt Ship Captains. This number left Song Chi somewhat shocked.
Due to his identity as a member of the Radiant Star Tower and Cui Yulong's initiative, Song Chi was seated among the young generation, but the specifications were equivalent to that of a sixth-rank Fearless Fleet Admiral.
This specification was not to be underestimated, as the ingredients provided were strictly differentiated.
For example, one of the dishes, named Braised Elephant Hoof, was made from the hoof of a fourth-rank Wild Fang Ancient Elephant for the Battleship Captain's seat, a third-rank one for the Deer Hunt Ship Captain's seat, and a fifth-rank one for Song Chi's seat.
Although the Wild Fang Ancient Elephant was not a Starry Beast, its lineage was extraordinary, and it had the effect of significantly enhancing the eater's physique. The higher the rank of the Wild Fang Ancient Elephant, the better the effect.
Just this one dish made Song Chi feel a noticeable improvement in his physique.
Moreover, every dish on the table was extraordinary.
By the end of the banquet, Song Chi's Guiding Art had advanced from the initial level 41 to the peak of level 41, and he had even touched upon the bottleneck of level 42.
The most significant improvement, however, was in his physique. Ever since absorbing all the evil god's essence and experiencing a surge in his mental power to thirty-four uses of one heart, Song Chi had felt a certain burden on his physique. But after this meal, the problem was completely resolved, and even if his mental power increased further, it wouldn't be an issue.
Additionally, after this enhancement, Song Chi felt that he might be just a step away from the threshold of the Advanced Bloodline Ritual.
After the banquet, Song Chi didn't linger and asked Cui Yulong to send him back to the Radiant Star Tower.
The battle in the Chaos Star Domain was still ongoing, and he couldn't afford to stay in the Tang Dynasty for too long.
Upon returning to the Dragon Backbone Continent, he first visited the Ruin Market.
At the fourth-rank Bloodline Ritual Platform, Song Chi smiled as he looked at the information floating before him.
Genetic Lineage Talent: 70
Bloodline Ritual Compatibility: 88
He was now only 2 points away from the 90-point threshold for the Advanced Bloodline Ritual, which was certainly a cause for celebration.
