Chapter 428: Moro Vault - Starsea Advanced Being
Chapter 428: Moro Vault - Starsea Advanced Being
Life Annihilation Arrow, why is it called "Life" instead of the "Ten Thousand Souls" of the super main cannon itself?
The reason lies here.
The warship descended swiftly, passing through the straight downward corridor, and the underground space created by the Moro Royal Family was fully revealed before Song Chi.
In the spacious underground space, countless ordinary Moros were cautiously spying on the entrance at this very moment. They waited until the Celestial Ruin Heaven landed, but the Fifth Rank Moro Skyglide Mech never responded again. Only then did the ordinary Moros start screaming and crying.
Amidst the chaos, some Moros attempted to escape into the void using low-rank Skyglide Mechs, but they were effortlessly strangled by the Void Shadow Warrior Drones and Fallen Angel Warrior Drones that Song Chi had summoned earlier.
A massacre officially began.
He was not a saint, and the Moros had always been enemies of the Duchy since the beginning. If these ordinary Moros were allowed to escape, they might alert the other three tribes on this Chaos Floating Land, so they couldn't be spared.
Facing the slaughter of dozens of Fifth and Sixth Rank Drones, the outcome was inevitable.
In less than half an hour, all the Moros underground were slaughtered.
Next, it was time for Song Chi to inspect the spoils.
First, there was the Fifth Rank Moro Skyglide Mech towering at ten thousand meters before him. This machine could only be piloted by a Moro, and it had to be a Fifth Rank Moro.
However, he recalled that after becoming the captain of the Deer Hunt Ship, the family had provided him with a set of advanced information, which clearly stated that the family had a large number of ordinary Moros in an underground breeding area on the Dragon Backbone Continent. Among them, there seemed to be Fifth Rank Moros.
The only reason they couldn't utilize their full potential was the lack of technology to manufacture Moro Skyglide Mechs.
He believed that the family would be very interested in this Fifth Rank Moro Skyglide Mech.
In addition, he retrieved the lifeless body of the Fifth Rank Moro Royal from inside the mech, along with the miniature spatial chest it carried.
Opening the miniature spatial chest, as expected, it contained some important items that the Fifth Rank Moro Royal always carried.
A red oddity, a complete set of Moro Skyglide Mech blueprints (up to Fifth Rank), and some rare special mineral resources...
The first thing Song Chi looked at was the full set of Moro Skyglide Mech blueprints. If submitted to the family later, as long as the family research department could conquer it, it would become another mass-produced mid-to-high-rank mech creation after the Hellfire Mech.
Unfortunately, this set of blueprints only reached Fifth Rank, and the Fifth Rank Skyglide Mech blueprints had obvious annotations, indicating that when this surviving Moro Royal Family fled, they only carried the blueprints for Fourth Rank and below Skyglide Mechs. The Fifth Rank blueprints were designed and deduced step by step over the following few thousand years.
After storing this valuable set of blueprints, Song Chi's gaze shifted to another object.
It wasn't the red epic-quality oddity but landed on a fire-red crystal core the size of a basketball.
At first, he didn't know what this thing was until the Fiery Wrath Giant, who was originally in the cockpit, rushed over in a panic and kept roaring.
Finally, through telepathic communication, he learned that this was most likely a Sixth Rank Fire Attribute Giant's heart core, which had a significant auxiliary effect on the Fiery Wrath Giant.
The Fiery Wrath Giant even indicated that after consuming this heart core, it would have a good chance of directly entering the Sixth Rank, which was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
A Sixth Rank enslaved being, even the entire Song family only had a few of them? If the Fiery Wrath Giant could successfully advance to the Sixth Rank, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the overall strength of the Celestial Ruin Heaven.
Without further thought, repeating the previous operation, he returned to the Dragon Backbone Continent. After informing the clan elders who were staying on the continent about the Fiery Wrath Giant's impending Sixth Rank breakthrough, Song Chi sent the Fiery Wrath Giant to a Sixth Rank Origin Outburst Eye that had recently emerged on the Dragon Backbone Continent and also gave it the Sixth Rank Fire Attribute heart core.
After completing these tasks, he finally returned to the underground space of the Chaos Floating Land.

{Communication Encryption: The main disk and sub-disk have special encryption, making it difficult for external means to intercept communication content.}
"Long-Range Communication Module?"
After reading the attributes of this component, Song Chi didn't feel much surprise but instead felt a bit puzzled.
If the red dot detected by the Spirit Glimpse Eye was this oddity, it was hard not to speculate about the purpose of the Fifth Rank Moro Royal's departure from the underground. As proven earlier, the 'Spirit Glimpse Eye' trait is ineffective through a spatial curtain, indicating that the previously detected red oddity must have left the underground space beneath the spatial curtain. Combined with the attributes of the Long-Range Communication Disk, it's highly likely that the Fifth Rank Moro was using it to communicate with the outside world.
Thinking of this, Song Chi frowned.
He couldn't be sure who the Fifth Rank Moro was communicating with, whether it was other alien beings or other Moros outside, but obviously, no one could provide him with the answer at this moment.
Without dwelling on this matter, he recalled the Celestial Ruin Heaven and, surrounded by a crowd of puppet drones, the One-Eyed Giant, Flame-breathing Dragon, Cold Moon Snow Python, Heavy Feather, and Thorned Flying Dragon, he headed straight for the Moro's secret vault.
The Moro's heritage wasn't short-lived; if you count the time before the main tribe was destroyed by the Duchy, the heritage has been nearly 20,000 years old. Even this surviving Moro Royal Family has existed for thousands of years, and in such a long time, they have naturally accumulated some heritage.
Based on their struggling situation over the past few thousand years, their heritage may not be as rich as that of the Celestial Tribe, but it's definitely not limited to what was in the miniature spatial chest, or it would be too pathetic.
In fact, when the puppet drones were slaughtering the ordinary Mora Clan members, Song Chi had already discovered the location of their secret vault through brainwave imprints. This place was obviously where they stored their racial heritage.
Stepping over the corpses of countless Mora Clan members, Song Chi arrived at the entrance of the secret vault.
Looking at the faint light emanating from the alloy door of the vault, it seemed to be imbued with a special energy. Moreover, he couldn't summon the nearly four-kilometer-long Celestial Ruin Heaven from here, so he had no choice but to let the puppet drones and enslaved creatures do the job.
The puppet drones were fine, but the enslaved creatures were also unable to unleash their full size, which greatly limited their strength. Fortunately, there were enough of them, and after two days of continuous bombardment, the special energy on the alloy door was completely eradicated.
Boom!
When the alloy door finally collapsed, the true appearance of the Mora Clan's secret vault was revealed.
With just a glance, Song Chi shook his head repeatedly.
Compared to the previous Tianxing Clan's secret vault, this Mora Clan's vault was at least ten times smaller. This fact alone was enough to make a preliminary estimate of the value of everything inside.
However, the Tianxing Clan had occupied the entire Red Star Zone for thousands of years, and their resource collection speed far exceeded that of the Mora Clan, who had lost their own territory and had been in hiding for thousands of years. It was only natural that they would have accumulated fewer resources.
Dividing his mind into thirty-four parts, with the assistance of the puppet drones, Song Chi began to quickly inventory all the resources in the vault.
Half a day later, Song Chi, feeling mentally exhausted, finally finished taking stock of all the items.
Even though it was far less than what he obtained from the Tianxing Clan, this time it was all his own spoils of war. Strictly speaking, it was several times more than what he obtained from the Tianxing Floating Continent.
Sixth-Rank Floating Land Essence: 80 strands
Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence: 9,500 strands
Fourth-Rank Floating Land Essence: 200,000 strands
Third-Rank and below Floating Land Essence: nearly one billion
Orange Glory Artifacts: 20 pieces
Purple and below: over four digits
Fifth-Rank Void Crystals: 6 pieces
Titanium Crystals: over 20,000
Special Physique Enhancement Resource - Bone Forging Grass: 3 stalks
Various Mineral Resources: over 100 million tons
...
As he counted these resources, Song Chi's breathing became slightly labored.
Although being in charge of the Grand Ruins Market meant he never lacked Floating Land Essence, this harvest still left him astonished.
Even without considering the Floating Land Essence, the Void Crystals, Titanium Crystals, and Bone Forging Grass were all resources he desperately needed.
Moreover, among the dozens of Orange-tier artifacts, he had also spotted an extremely rare repair component.
An Orange-tier hull repair component called the Atomic Repair Unit.
This component couldn't compare to the Last Blessing, but it could replace the Healing Fruit component.
The white-tier Healing Fruit was obtained from the Star Radiance Civilization, but now that the Celestial Ruin Heaven had been promoted to a Deer Hunt Ship, this white-tier hull repair component was almost ineffective.
However, due to the rarity of repair components, it had remained on the Celestial Ruin Heaven until now, and Song Chi could finally replace it.
After installing the Atomic Repair Unit, Song Chi continued to enhance it, bringing it up to level 50.
Atomic Repair Unit Lv. 50
Quality: Orange
Attribute: +1 Cumulative Repairs
Attribute 2: Atomic Healing
Cost: 50,000/use (Shadow Energy Points)
Available Uses: 2/2
Effect: Upon activation, immediately restores 30% of the Energy Shield's value, repairs 30% of the hull armor, and repairs 10% of the ship.
Cooldown: 14h
...
{Atomic Healing: Consumes 100,000 Shadow Energy Points to instantly restore 80% of the Energy Shield's value. Ineffective if the Energy Shield is overloaded. Cooldown: 24 hours.}
Song Chi was quite satisfied with this attribute.
...
After taking stock of all his gains, he considered whether to target the three families of the Horned Tribe but decided against it.
Putting aside other factors, these three families were all long-established Level 6 civilizations in the Chaos Star Domain, and their heritage was far beyond what the Mora Clan, a homeless remnant civilization, could compare to. Moreover, each family had at least Fifth-Rank strength guardians, and rumors suggested that the Horned Tribe possessed Sixth-Rank units. With their unknown trump cards and the advantage of the Floating Land rules, they posed a significant threat.
After dismissing the idea, Song Chi once again activated the 'Illusory Shadow' attribute and, through the enslaved Third-Rank Horned Tribe members, left the Chaos Floating Land.
Upon exiting the Chaos Floating Land, he didn't continue wandering aimlessly. Instead, the Celestial Ruin Heaven sped westward.
Calculating the time, Song Chi realized that the war had reached its most intense phase, and he naturally wanted to witness the action.
However, before that, he had one more thing to do.
Handing over control of the warship to the Skyward AI System, Song Chi entered the Grand Ruins Market.
Taking out the three stalks of Bone Forging Grass, he began to absorb them one by one.
Six days later, after fully absorbing the three stalks of Bone Forging Grass, Song Chi once again stepped onto the Bloodline Ritual Platform. However, this time was different from before, as his bloodline ritual compatibility had increased from 88 to 90.
This meant that he had met the threshold for an advanced bloodline ritual.
Without hesitation, Song Chi initiated the advanced bloodline ritual.
Thick blood mist appeared on the ritual platform, slowly enveloping his entire body, and the constant stinging pain throughout his body made Song Chi gasp.
However, to complete this advanced bloodline ritual and elevate his genetic bloodline talent to the level of a Starsea Advanced Being, Song Chi had to grit his teeth and endure.
Even though he had already advanced to the Fourth Rank, the benefits of entering the Starsea Advanced Being category were not as significant as before. Still, no Starsea Being would refuse an enhancement to their genetic bloodline talent.
Although he had already advanced to the Fourth Rank and couldn't gain additional Law Amplitude, the genetic bloodline talent permanently boosted his subsequent Law comprehension speed and facilitated breakthroughs in his Guiding Art. The advantages were still substantial.
Time passed, and ten minutes later, the blood mist gradually dissipated, signifying the completion of this bloodline ritual.
Looking at Song Chi, a clear expression of excitement appeared on his face. Evidently, this bloodline ritual had successfully elevated his genetic bloodline talent to the fourth tier, placing him among the Starsea Advanced Beings.
Genetic Bloodline Talent: 74
Bloodline Ritual Compatibility: 90
The 74 points of genetic bloodline talent value represented not just a number but also his future potential.
