Chapter 473: The Power of Planet Annihilation - I, Song Chi, Always Keep My Word
Without exception, everyone was shocked by Song Chi's outrageous response.
Who would have dared to think of completely razing the Ji Han Lu Clan's base on the Calamity Star Floating Land before this?
But now, it was happening right before their eyes.
Compared to the others, Song Chi, as the person involved, remained remarkably calm.
He had carefully considered the consequences of his actions and had no regrets.
He knew the younger generation of his family very well, and although there were some promising talents, they were still far from comparable to those ancient clans with a heritage of six or seven thousand years. Even though his family now occupied a vast territory spanning eighty thousand light-years, population growth was not something that could be achieved overnight; it would require at least a century or two as a buffer.
And that was precisely what he was doing.
Song Chi hoped that this move would deter the surrounding forces for a long enough time, so that his family would have sufficient time to absorb the gains from this expansion war.
They didn't even need to fully absorb it; they only needed to digest one-tenth of it. By then, even if he had entered the realm of rule restrictions, he wouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters.
Because by then, the new generation of his family would be able to uphold the prestige of a Near-Immortal Clan.
As he was thinking, a roar suddenly came from below again.
"Song Chi, you deserve to die! The Lu Family will never let you off!"
It was the voice of the Chase Deer Fleet Captain from the Lu Family, who was in charge of guarding the Calamity Star Floating Land.
This person's battleship had considerable combat power, and it had endured numerous attacks.
"Whether or not your Lu Family will let me off is one thing, but I know for sure that you will die today!"
After saying this, he was about to activate the Tranquility Seal·Outer·Time Stop characteristic to prevent the Lu Family member from escaping using their flash-dodge ability.
However, as a direct descendant of a Tier 6 clan, the opponent was not foolish. Before speaking, they had already activated a component.
Hmm... a projection component!
Buzz! The space above the sky trembled violently, and the intense oppressive force was felt even by Song Chi inside the Celestial Ruins Skylord.
In the blink of an eye, a mythical mecha giant projection over a hundred thousand meters tall appeared above the ruins of White Frost Fortress.
Inside the Celestial Ruins Skylord, Song Chi's eyes narrowed.
"The projection of a Fearless Ship, the old ancestor of the Lu Family has arrived!"
A chill ran down his spine, but he forced himself to remain calm and took out a special seal as well.
The silver-glowing seal was called the Void Seal·Sub-Seal, a sub-seal condensed from the silver-tier projection component, the Void Seal. With this seal, he could summon the projection of Song Wu's Steadfast Dragon Soar.
Speaking of this Void Seal component, it was obtained by the two ancestors of the family during an expansion war after killing a Tier 6 Cataclysmic Beast.
Originally, the family only had a red-tier projection component, which could project up to a distance of two thousand light-years. This silver-tier projection was different; after being enhanced to level 70, it could project up to a million light-years, allowing the Steadfast Dragon Soar, which was far away on the Dragon Spine Continent, to trigger the projection effect.
However, although Song Chi took out this seal, he didn't rush to activate it. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the projection of the Lu Family ancestor's battleship.
According to the rule that no internal consumption could occur between Flame Ships of the battleship level or above, the projection of the Lu Family ancestor's Fearless Ship could not attack him.
What happened next proved this point.
After seeing the White Frost Fortress completely reduced to ruins below, the red light in the eyes of the mythical mecha projection of the Lu Family ancestor flashed intensely. However, even so, besides releasing their Tier 6 pressure, this projection, which was over a hundred thousand meters tall, did nothing from start to finish.
Seeing this, Song Chi's heart relaxed a little.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of the Lu Family ancestor's projection, it was impossible to target the Lu Family Chase Deer Fleet Captain protected by the projection.
Even though he was reluctant, Song Chi forced himself not to think about it and instead started to recall all the enslaved creatures and Inferno Fire Armors.
However, at this moment, a cold voice came from the mouth of the Tier 6 mythical mecha projection in front.
"Youngster of the Song Family, you are very good, truly excellent!"
Hearing this, Song Chi's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed deep within.
It was not difficult to hear the deep malice in the other party's words.
"Old Ancestor Lu, your Lu Family started this, and now you're saying this; aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
After responding to the other party, Song Chi retracted his gaze and didn't bother to pay attention anymore.
With the current development trend of the Song Family, as time went by, the gap between the two families would only widen. It was the other party who should be anxious.
But he didn't want to pay any attention, and yet some people just liked to court death.
"Song Chi, just you wait, I, Lu Xuelu, will never let this grudge go unavenged!"
"Heh..."
A cold laugh escaped Song Chi's lips, and the coldness in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He looked at the Stagship behind the projection of Lu Family's Ancestor's Mythical Armor, his gaze as if staring at a dead man.
At that moment, the Death Fate Tracking Seal component on the warship was activated, and an invisible death fate tracking mark was fired towards the Stagship.
It was extremely difficult to kill someone under the watchful eye of a veteran dreadnought projection, but the duration of the projection component was limited. Once the dreadnought projection dissipated, he could easily find the other party with the Death Fate Tracking Seal and take action without any trouble.
However, he was being too presumptuous. The Death Fate Tracking Mark had a hidden attribute bonus, making it extremely difficult to detect.
But when the veteran dreadnought projection cast the mark, it was too obvious, and it was immediately discovered. Soon after, the Tier 6 energy easily crushed it.
This step completely ignited the fuse, the fuse that Song Chi was unwilling to endure any longer.
Since the enmity was already established, it was time to cut off the roots. How could he let the person go without a fight?
Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed from within the Heaven Ruin Skydome, unconcealed to anyone present, including the tens of thousands of Flame Captains in Dragon Spine City and the various high-ranking officials of different factions who were remotely monitoring the situation through various long-range surveillance components.
"I seem to recall saying that you will definitely die here today!"
Regardless of how Song Chi felt upon hearing these words, the hearts of the Flame Captains who witnessed this scene instinctively started racing, even though they were not directly involved. Most of them felt a surge of excitement deep within.
A Stagship Captain, in front of a Dreadnought Captain, boldly declared that the latter's hereditary successor would die today.
This was not just a defiant statement but a judgment from a higher power, causing everyone to applaud in awe.
Regardless of the final outcome of this day, the sheer courage displayed was enough to surpass all others in this era.
"Ignorant child, are you challenging the authority of a Dreadnought Captain?"
As if provoked by Song Chi's words, the projection of the Lu Family's Ancestor's Mythical Armor began to step forward.
The Ice Law, with a comprehension level of over 80%, rapidly spread, freezing the sky. With each step the projection took, the Heaven Ruin Skydome endured an exponentially increasing pressure.
Buzz! On the outside of the black and white Yin Yang Collision Annihilation Shield, the holy light shield generated by the Angelic Sovereign Wing component violently trembled, its brilliance dimming with each passing moment.
However, no one noticed that Song Chi, in the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, remained calm and composed from start to finish.
He had his reasons for speaking up, and he was confident in his abilities.
Ignoring the stepping projection of the Tier 6 Mythical Armor, his thoughts suddenly shifted to the newly acquired Celestial Thunder Cannon.
"Ninefold Celestial Annihilation Thunderbolt, activate!"
With this command, the Celestial Thunder Cannon at the bow of the Heaven Ruin Skydome transformed, changing from a main cannon to a planet annihilation cannon.
Sizzle! A massive amount of lightning energy gathered at the bow of the warship, rapidly condensing into a colossal thundering cloud that blotted out the sky.
In an instant, the overwhelming might of the Ninefold Celestial Annihilation Thunderbolt dominated half the sky, centered on the bow of the Heaven Ruin Skydome. Even the Tier 6 pressure emitted by the projection of the Lu Family's Ancestor's Mythical Armor was completely suppressed.
"Hmm?"
The Tier 6 Mythical Armor projection paused in its steps, and even the Lu Family's Ancestor felt a great threat from the gathered Ninefold Celestial Annihilation Thunderbolt.
The Ice Law, with a comprehension level of over 80%, formed a ten-kilometer-tall giant ice spire around him.
His intuition told him that a youngster not even two hundred years old could not pose any threat, but thousands of years of experience had honed his instincts, and he could not afford to take any chances. The Star Sea was filled with countless bizarre components, and even planet annihilation warships had been caught off guard. How much more vulnerable was he, a mere projection?
Just then, his thoughts suddenly halted, and despite the ship's decent time resistance, this pause lasted for a full second.
"That's not right!"
The Lu Family Patriarch was the first to notice something amiss, but it was already too late.
Ahead, the Celestial Ruins Skylord, which had temporarily transformed into the Celestial Thunder Cannon, had already completed the ten-second charge required for its 'Zen Seal - Inner - Speed' trait attack.
Boom!
The thunderous explosion reverberated through the heavens and earth, and the terrifyingly large Celestial Annihilation Thunderbolt descended.
Before the Lu Family Patriarch could react, the thunderbolt had already struck the ten-thousand-meter Mythical Projection of the Fearless Ship.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
The Ninefold Annihilation Thunderbolt was not just a simple name; it truly consisted of nine thunderbolts. Under the barrage of nine thunderbolts, the projection of the Fearless Ship had dimmed to its limit.
Just as everyone thought it was over, a small, peculiar point suddenly burst forth in the final explosion, transforming into a miniature black hole that completely shattered the last remnant of the Lu Family Patriarch's projection.
Not only was the Mythical Projection of the Fearless Ship destroyed, but the Lu Family's Stagship was also enveloped by the infinite collapse of the miniature black hole. Even with its red hull armor's defensive trait activated, it was compressed into a pile of scrap metal.
The bad news was that the ship's internal shipborne modules were also swallowed up by the turbulent void.
Song Chi didn't pay too much attention to this, as the matter was not yet over. His cold voice once again echoed from within the Celestial Ruins Skylord.
"I, Song Chi, keep my word!"
This statement was naturally directed at the various forces monitoring the area. The destruction of the Lu Family's base on the Calamity Star Floating Land was just a process, and the real goal was to deter the unruly forces.
"It won't take two hundred years, but a hundred years should be no problem!"
Song Chi briefly reviewed his actions and was quite satisfied.
With this iron-fisted suppression, he believed that no other forces would dare to test his family for the next hundred years.
As for what would happen after a hundred years, that was not his concern.
A hundred years was enough for the family to digest some of the gains from the expansion war, and it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate a new generation of clansmen capable of suppressing their peers.
If they couldn't even achieve that, then it would be the fault of the elders in the clan, and he wouldn't be held responsible.
Thinking of this, Song Chi opened the cabin door again, and dozens of terracotta warriors rushed out, heading straight for the ruins of White Frost Fortress below.
After being bombarded by over a thousand Tier 4 and above units, White Frost Fortress was mostly destroyed, but the Star Sea Artifacts within couldn't escape.
According to the information displayed by the Spirit Glimpse Radar, the highest-ranked item was only a red artifact, but it was still worth taking.
During the wait, Song Chi didn't idle either. He specifically made a trip to White Frost City, not far from here, and ransacked the shops opened by the Lu Family, acquiring some decent items.
As for the other shops in White Frost City, they belonged to various forces, so he naturally couldn't touch them, lest he provoke their collective anger.
After dealing with these matters, Song Chi finally prepared to return to Dragon Spine City.
However, as his gaze swept across the Celestial Destiny South·Disk component, his eyebrows twitched.
The light point displayed on the component's surface had not disappeared and was rapidly moving away from the Calamity Star Floating Land.
"Did a mouse just run away?"
If it hadn't been noticed, it wouldn't have been a problem, but since Song Chi had discovered it, he wouldn't let it go.
With the Aurora Warp Device and the Roarer Warp Device working in tandem, the Celestial Ruins Skylord quickly caught up with the target.
Hmm... It was also a Stagship.
Upon seeing the Celestial Ruins Skylord catching up, this Stagship, also from the Lu Family, quickly came to a stop, fearing that Song Chi would casually sink it.
But to be safe, Song Chi activated the 'Void Bind God' trait of the Bind God Chain, preventing the use of void-walking and teleportation abilities.
Even if the opponent managed to escape, with the Celestial Destiny South·Disk component, Song Chi could easily catch up with them again. Still, it was better to be cautious.
At Song Chi's cold rebuke, the Lu Family's Tier 4 Stagship Captain quickly exited the warship.
With the idea of maximizing his interests, Song Chi activated the Master-Servant Contract component. After achieving his goal, the two Tier 3 Cruiser Commanders he had dealt with earlier were already gone, and there were still two contract slots available, enough to contract this Lu Family's Tier 4 Stagship Captain.
As soon as the contract was completed, the Lu Family's Tier 4 Captain's gaze towards Song Chi changed from fear to respect.
