Chapter 456: Sovereign True Spirit
Chapter 456: Sovereign True Spirit
The family's half-destroyed monument of nameless secret arts held one of the most challenging techniques to comprehend, the "Void Sorcerer Great Seal". Although Song Chi had yet to master it, he had some understanding of this secret art.
As for why Song Wujang would help the Venomous Flame Black Scaled Anaconda, the reason was simple.
Although the anaconda had never appeared before outsiders, several of the family's ancestors, including Song Chi, were aware of its existence.
Without the influence of the Wind Law Seal, the anaconda's speed was incredibly fast. Its aura, akin to a pre-7th rank, circulated around it, and it swiftly flew towards the drop of silver blood nearby.
The snake's mouth widened, and it swallowed the drop of Sovereign blood in one gulp. Simultaneously, under the control of the anaconda, a Summoning Mark that had been held within its mouth burst out, precisely entering the Sovereign blood.
At the same time, in the depths of the primordial forest, millions of kilometers away, Song Chi, in the control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, immediately activated the "Demonic Puppet Summoning" trait.
A slight spatial fluctuation swept through the warship, and the drop of silver blood that the anaconda had swallowed appeared out of thin air, summoned back by the remote "Summoning Demon Puppet" component.
In an instant, a massive amount of violent energy, emanating from the Death Star Starlight Power and the perfected level of the Light Law, began to rage within the Heaven Ruin Skydome. Even Song Chi, the captain of the warship, felt oppressed by this violent power and found it extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was prepared. The Flame Wrath Giant, waiting nearby, stepped out, and a vast amount of Fire Law followed its fiery red arm, easily grasping the drop of Sovereign blood. Under the suppression of infinite Fire Law, the violent energy quickly dissipated.
Song Chi didn't rush to deal with the drop of silver Sovereign blood. Instead, he refocused all his attention on the Venomous Flame Black Scaled Anaconda.
As expected, after the anaconda took action and gained something, it soon faced multiple Law Seals targeting it from the surroundings.
However, Song Chi ignored these Law Seals and instructed the anaconda to ignore their existence, surging towards other drops of Sovereign blood not far away.
The anaconda had already burned its entire life force, and this process was irreversible. It could only strive to make the most of its remaining time.
With the anaconda's reckless grabbing, it soon swallowed another piece of flesh that also contained considerable Death Star Starlight Power. The second Summoning Mark emerged from its mouth and swiftly entered this piece of Sovereign flesh.
In the depths of the primordial forest, the Heaven Ruin Skydome experienced a second spatial fluctuation, and the Sovereign flesh was successfully summoned back.
Despite its inconspicuous appearance in the previous silver blood rain, this object came from a Calamity Star Race Sovereign being over 10,000 kilometers tall. The actual weight of the flesh fragments from a Sovereign being's corpse was not less than several hundred kilograms, and it contained a significant amount of ordinary Sovereign blood.
Unfortunately, after these two attempts, the anaconda's injuries became severe, coupled with the continuous burning of its life energy. It quickly lost the ability to act again and soon died amidst the collisions of numerous Law Seals in its surroundings.
Feeling the sudden vacancy of a Servitude Seal on the Enslavement Medal component, Song Chi sighed.
However, if given the chance, he would still make the same choice.
The fall of a Sovereign being was not an opportunity that came easily, and whether it was worth it or not was simple to determine.
The hundreds of kilograms of Sovereign flesh obtained in the second attempt, in Song Chi's opinion, was already enough to match the value of a six-rank enslaved lifeform.
Although this piece of flesh couldn't yield seven-rank essence blood or seven-rank source blood, it contained at least several dozen drops of ordinary Sovereign blood.
This ordinary Sovereign blood didn't have a significant auxiliary effect on the promotion of fourth-rank and above warships, but it had a tremendous supportive effect on the cultivation of the Flame Captain's Guidance Technique.
Not only did Song Chi's current fourth-rank Guidance Technique benefit, but even the subsequent fifth and sixth-rank Guidance Techniques would have a strong supportive effect.
Additionally, this Sovereign flesh had a great appeal to low-rank lifeforms of the same attribute, like the "Heavy Feather" in its miniature form at this moment.
Through telepathy, Song Chi could sense Heavy Feather's agitation. If it could consume the flesh, Heavy Feather would likely gain a significant boost.
Moreover, the value of this Sovereign flesh wasn't the highest; the drop of Sovereign blood obtained in the first attempt was the key.
Through the analysis of his twin pupils, Song Chi had initially confirmed that the energy contained in this drop of blood, distinct from the Death Star Starlight Power and the Light Origin Law, originated from the extremely precious Sovereign True Spirit.
The family's core records held numerous accounts of Sovereign beings, and Song Chi had some understanding of them.
According to the family records, the most important thing in the corpse of a fallen Sovereign being was the drop of blood from which Sovereign source blood could be extracted. It not only significantly increased the success rate of Dreadnoughts breaking through to become Star Destroyers but also had a remarkable effect on Flame Captains' Guidance Techniques reaching the seventh rank.
Aside from the Sovereign source blood, the second most valuable thing was the Sovereign True Spirit. According to records, a fallen Sovereign being could yield approximately 30 to 40 portions of Sovereign True Spirit, which were the resources required for each level of reinforcement for seventh-rank and above components.
However, it seemed that for ship components, the consumption of Sovereign True Spirit for reinforcement after the seventh rank was fixed at one portion for each level, regardless of quality.
After the Sovereign True Spirit, there were the Origin Law patterns manifested from the corpse, the Sovereign essence blood, and the ordinary Sovereign blood.
There was only one portion of Sovereign True Spirit in this drop of blood, but Song Chi was still overjoyed.
This was Sovereign True Spirit, and even among the Sovereign-ranked or higher beings in the Shattered Star Sea, it was considered a high-level resource, and no one would ever complain about having too much of it.
Song Chi carefully stored away the drop of Sovereign blood and flesh, then resumed control of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, leaving the primordial forest.
For other Flame Captains, refining this Sovereign blood and flesh, which contained considerable residual violent energy, might be very troublesome. However, for Song Chi, this was the easiest part.
He only needed to enter the Multiverse Ruins Market and utilize his control over the Sovereign power within the market to complete the refinement effortlessly.
However, he couldn't do that at this moment. The cleanup mission on the Calamity Star Floating Land was almost complete, and as a reward for successfully completing the invasion task, the three Star Destroyer Marshals of the kingdom would later provide all Flame Captains below them with a period for scavenging. This was an opportunity not to be missed.
What happened next quickly proved this point. Shortly after the Heaven Ruin Skydome rejoined the family fleet, the Unmoving Bodhimanda...
The Unmoving Bodhimanda and the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship also descended from the sky, bringing back a piece of news.
"For the next month, all Flame Captains are free to plunder all ready-made resources on this Calamity Star Floating Land!"
Upon receiving this news, the Song family fleet split into two groups, each led by an intrepid ship, and began the full-scale plundering operation.
One month. If it were before, this time would have been pitifully short, but the current situation had long since changed. The Floating Land Origin Rules had been severely weakened, and high-ranking Calamity Star Races had suffered heavy casualties.
To put it bluntly, there would likely be no significant resistance on the Calamity Star Floating Land, which also meant that the next month could be entirely devoted to plundering as they wished. Moreover, with countless Flame Warship Groups now spread across the entire Calamity Star Floating Land, one could imagine how many resources would be plundered in the coming month.
Strictly speaking, the three Star Destroyer Marshals of the Kingdom had quite the grand plan. According to the original estimates of the many Sixth Rank Intrepid Ship Captains, this time frame would likely only be around half a month. The current situation had clearly exceeded expectations.
During this month, although Song Chi followed the main force, he would occasionally go out alone to plunder. With the Spirit Gazing Eye, he could pinpoint most of the Star Sea Special Artifacts in the vicinity.
Of course, those low-ranking Star Sea Special Artifacts did not interest him. Every time he went out, his target was either a red epic artifact or a silver legendary artifact.
In less than a month, he had obtained six red artifacts and two silver artifacts.
Among the six red artifacts was a strand of Advancement Flame Source, which Song Chi gave to his grandfather.
One of the two silver artifacts could be transformed into an Energy Shield, which Song Chi gave to his father, while the other was sent to the Heavenly Marketplace to charge the Market Projection Token.
On this day, Song Chi went out again, and the Spirit Gazing Eye once more detected the presence of a silver legendary artifact.
"Isn't this the dense forest where I hid before... What a coincidence!"
Murmuring to himself, Song Chi didn't pay much attention to it. With the Mirage Dragon Transformation Pearl and the Void Membrane, two components that allowed the Heaven Ruin Skydome to conceal itself in the void, he quickly entered the depths of the dense forest below.
Not long after, Song Chi's eyes narrowed in the main control room of the warship.
The Calamity Star Floating Land was vast, and the range detected by the Spirit Gazing Eye was also considerable. Previously, he hadn't noticed anything unusual about the silver light point displayed on the radar map until now, when he realized that this silver artifact, newly detected by the Spirit Gazing Eye, seemed to be constantly moving.
However, because its speed wasn't fast enough, it couldn't be clearly displayed on the radar map.
Deep within the primeval forest, a Calamity Star Race, only a hundred meters tall, was striding forward.
Perhaps aware of the current external situation, it was hiding its tracks and not using any energy, relying solely on its legs to run.
Not far away in the void, the Heaven Ruin Skydome silently followed.
"Something's wrong..."
Song Chi had been watching this Calamity Star Race for over ten minutes and had already confirmed that the silver artifact was on its body. The reason he hadn't taken action was that he felt something was amiss.
According to its height, a hundred-meter-tall Calamity Star Race would be a second-rank being. However, in the depths of this primeval forest, there were many third and fourth-rank Floating Land Beast Races. This hundred-meter-tall Calamity Star Race seemed overly relaxed, as if it wasn't afraid of encountering other high-rank ferocious beasts.
Thinking of this, Song Chi activated the Yang·United Heart Amulet to temporarily borrow the biological energy detection feature of Shen Youran's ship's sky-scanning radar.
The next second, his breathing suddenly grew heavy.
The detection results showed that a powerful sixth-rank life energy was near the Heaven Ruin Skydome, which, without a doubt, belonged to the hundred-meter-tall Calamity Star Race ahead.
"Is this a shrinking artifact?"
As he pondered, the hundred-meter-tall Calamity Star Race suddenly stopped running. It carefully scanned its surroundings, and seeing no other life forms, it rushed straight towards a nearby hill.
Light and shadows flickered, and the hundred-meter-tall Calamity Star Race vanished into thin air before Song Chi's eyes.
"A spatial curtain? Or a special artifact?"
Two guesses popped into his mind.
At the same time, Song Chi quickly took out a card-like item from a storage capsule by his side. As he activated the shadow energy within his body, the card immediately activated.
"Chi, what's the matter?"
This card was a communication chip that Song Shiyuan had given him, which he could use to contact him in emergencies.
"Ancestor, I've discovered the traces of a sixth-rank Calamity Star Race, and it has at least one silver artifact on its body..."
After quickly narrating the situation, it wasn't long before Song Shiyuan's reply came through the communication light screen.
"Wait, don't act rashly. A sixth-rank Calamity Star Race is no joke!"
"Yeah!"
A few minutes later, the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship and the Unmoving Bodhimanda arrived together.
Based on Song Chi's previous description, the two intrepid ship captains of the clan believed that this matter was not simple. Moreover, with the one-month deadline approaching, it was no longer possible to conduct another large-scale plunder, so after discussing, they decided to come and take a look.
With Song Chi's guidance, the two captains quickly locked onto the hill where a spatial curtain was suspected to exist.
However, before taking action, Song Wujang activated a silver lockdown module on the warship, completely isolating a large area of the primeval forest from the outside world. Within this sealed space, even if the intrepid ship fired directly, it wouldn't be detected by the outside world.
After doing this, Song Wujang summoned five Level 70 Dragon Whale Guardian Statues.
In the sight of the three warships, the five Dragon Whale Guardian Statues entered the hill one after the other.
Warship Group Chat:
"Song Shiyuan: Ancestor, how is it?"
However, Song Wujang didn't answer. A look of anxiety, never seen before, appeared on his face, and he only uttered one word.
"Quick!"
Saying this, the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship rushed out first.
Song Shiyuan and Song Chi were not slow to react, closely following the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship towards the hill.
At this moment, Song Wujang's voice sounded again in the group chat, still not answering the previous question, but instead instructing Song Shiyuan.
"Shiyuan, prepare to activate the Sky Condensation Tower!"
Although Song Shiyuan didn't know what had happened, he didn't hesitate at all. Half of his mind quickly gathered on the Sky Condensation Tower, a silver component that would be activated as soon as they rushed into the hill.
No one in the Song family would have any reservations about the clan's ancestor, as the entire Song family had been raised from obscurity by his sole efforts. At least half of the Song family's current status was due to Song Wujang's contributions.
