Chapter 476: The Black Devouring Beast Once More
As the promotion mission of the Heaven Ruin Skydome began, two red fusion light beams shot out from the Steadfast Dragon Soar, promptly entangling the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the Purple Moon Melody.
Next, the three ships successively activated their interstellar domain release.
Accompanied by intense spatial fluctuations, the three warships vanished from the sky above the Dragon Spine Continent.
...
In the distant starry sea, within the Phantom Spirit Starfield.
Looking down at the starry sea floating land with a diameter of nearly ten light-years, Song Chi's eyes flashed with curiosity in the main control room of the warship.
Through the extreme vision granted by his Dual Pupils, he could see through the cloud layer beneath the Floating Land Shield and clearly observe the situation on the surface of the floating land.
On this fifth-rank life-type floating land below, there were numerous remnants of human civilization structures, and although many areas seemed to be vacant, scattered small and medium-sized settlements of the Song Clan could still be seen.
It was evident that this was a family colony point that had already fallen.
As for the numerous vacant settlements on the floating land, Song Chi could also guess the reason; most likely, the family had transported the residents away over the past few decades using transit warships.
The Song Clan had recently occupied an eighty-thousand-light-year star domain in the Tianpan Galaxy, and the immigration operation was now in full swing. To address the population shortage, various branches of the clan were transporting a large number of clan members to the colony points under their jurisdiction.
Song Chi's confusion lay in the fact that since this was already a mature immigration point, the higher-level aliens should have been cleared out, so what was the ancestor doing by bringing the Heaven Ruin Skydome here?
Through the wave communication group chat, Song Wuyang noticed Song Chi's confusion and explained, "Although the Phantom Spirit Starfield has been occupied by the family, its northern region is adjacent to a newly-entered sixth-level intermediate civilization."
Song Chi suddenly understood. A newly-entered sixth-level intermediate civilization meant a limited number of sixth-rank units, and with two dreadnoughts, the Steadfast Dragon Soar and the Purple Moon Melody, they could easily handle the situation.
Without delay, the three ships activated their spatial warp.
When they arrived at the northernmost part of the Phantom Spirit Starfield, the first thing Song Chi saw were two giant steel battle stars wrapped in pitch-black armor.
Compared to the two primary mobile battle stars outside the Holy Dragon Continent, these two battle stars were not only larger in size but also appeared more ferocious due to the dense array of cannons. However, they still fell short of the advanced mobile battle star that the Eagle Family had deployed during the expansion war, which could rival a sixth-rank unit.
"These are two intermediate mobile battle stars that the family sent through a 'space wormhole.' The ancestor personally led the team during the expansion war, and we could only mobilize two intermediate mobile battle stars to deter the 'Bat Blood Civilization.'"
Song Xingru's explanation reached Song Chi's ears, and he recalled the information he had just seen about the Bat Blood Civilization.
The Bat Blood Civilization was the newly-entered sixth-level intermediate civilization adjacent to the northern region of the Phantom Spirit Starfield. Its civilization's heritage and the Phantom Spirit Civilization's were nearly identical, both approaching fifty thousand years, but its territory spanned nearly forty thousand light-years, surpassing the Phantom Spirit Starfield.
According to the family's current information, the Bat Blood Civilization currently had a newly-entered sixth-rank Celestial Bat, more than twenty fifth-rank bats, and over a thousand fourth-rank bats.
If they could eliminate them all, the Heaven Ruin Skydome's promotion success rate should increase significantly.
Led by the two dreadnoughts, the Heaven Ruin Skydome charged into the Bat Blood Civilization's territory.
Opposing the two fifth-rank mobile battle stars was a civilization defense star zone established by the Bat Blood Civilization. In this star zone, with a diameter of only a few dozen light-years, six fifth-rank bats and fifty-four fourth-rank bats were stationed.
Based on this, the Steadfast Dragon Soar immediately activated a space-blocking module on the ship to prevent these high-rank bats from escaping.
Although these Celestial Bats followed the Blood Law and had no connection to the Space Law, they were still starry sky creatures, and their bat wings were particularly special. With high-frequency flapping, they could enter the Shadow Space, achieving long-distance travel. Without blocking the space in advance, it would be challenging to exterminate these creatures.
However, with the space blocked, everything that followed became extremely simple. The Heaven Ruin Skydome only needed to deal with the fourth-rank Celestial Bats, while the fifth-rank bats were left to the Steadfast Dragon Soar and the Purple Moon Melody.
In just a few hours, six fifth-rank bats and over fifty fourth-rank bats fell one after another under the firepower of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
After clearing this forward star zone, the three warships rushed to the center of the Bat Blood Starfield, where the fifth-rank bat continent was located.
The promotion mission for the Stagship, a battleship, also had a time limit of one year. Only when a battleship was promoted to a dreadnought would this time increase to two years. Time was precious, and there was no room for delay.
Song Chi had also seen information in the family's records that when a dreadnought initiated a promotion mission to become a star annihilator, the task time would directly surge to ten years.
This was a glimpse into the immense difficulty of promoting a dreadnought to a star annihilator.
...
In the Bat Blood Starfield, on the Bat Blood Continent.
The Celestial Bats were starry sky creatures that could freely grow in the starry sea, but that didn't mean they wouldn't occupy high-level floating lands.
The simplest reason was that high-level floating lands could stably produce high-level floating land origins, accelerating the growth and evolution of living beings, which was something most starry sky environments couldn't match.
Although the Bat Blood Civilization had already advanced to a sixth-level civilization, its promotion time wasn't long. Currently, the Bat Blood Continent had a diameter of over twenty light-years, but it couldn't shake off the fact that it was still at the peak of the fifth level.
This was why Song Wuyang and Song Xingru brought Song Chi to the Bat Blood Starfield.
If it were a sixth-level floating land, although it could nurture more high-level creatures, a sixth-level floating land shield wasn't something the Song Clan could easily break through at present. In comparison, a fifth-level floating land shield was much easier to handle.
The Steadfast Dragon Soar and the Heaven Ruin Skydome simultaneously fired a beam of light, not the kind with awe-inspiring destructive power, but a special shield-breaking light.
The Heaven Ruin Skydome activated the Void Piercer, which had evolved to the red-quality level, while Song Wuyang also had a red-quality shield-breaking module.
As the two shield-breaking lights fell on the floating land shield of the Bat Blood Continent below, the shield covering the entire floating land began to ripple intensely, and its glow dimmed visibly.
However, it was ultimately a shield formed by an entire fifth-level peak floating land, so even with two special red-quality shield-breaking modules, it wasn't easy to break through its defenses.
In the end, the floating land shield was left with a web of cracks like a giant spider web, but it wasn't directly shattered.
However, Song Chi and the other two never placed all their hopes on the two broken shield components. Their true intention was to weaken the power of the Floating Land Shield below, and the real plan was the countless battle cannons that had been charging since the moment the shield was shattered.
Within the Floating Land Shield, the Sixth Rank Celestial Bat was engulfed by a massive amount of dark red blood, carrying the essence of the Blood Law. The dark red blood quickly condensed into a Bat Blood Phantom with a wingspan exceeding ten thousand meters, surpassing the Floating Land Shield, and charging towards the three Flame Warships that were charging their cannons.
The Sixth Rank Celestial Bat clearly sensed the strong threat emanating from the three warships and wanted to strike first to disrupt their charging process.
However, the three warships, well-prepared, remained unmoved. A golden glow emerged from the center of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
The next second, the speed of the Bat Blood Phantom with a wingspan of over ten thousand meters significantly decreased. By the time it reached the vicinity of the three warships, all the cannons had completed their charging.
Upon seeing this, a message of praise from Song Wuyang appeared in the warships' magnetic wave communication group chat.
"The Time Domain Module on your ship is truly remarkable, Little Chi. After the promotion to Battleship, enhance this module to the seventh rank. Perhaps it will provide some assistance when dealing with that Black Devouring King Beast."
Hearing the words "Black Devouring King Beast," Song Chi's eyes flashed with determination. He had never forgotten about this dominant lifeform slumbering within the Black Hole of the Interstellar Starfield, but after informing the family's ancestors, he had not received any further news. This was the first time he heard of the family's plans regarding this dominant lifeform.
Although curious about the family's specific arrangements, Song Chi knew that now was not the time to be distracted.
Shua! Dozens of beams of light shot out, all aimed at the giant spider web crack on the Floating Land Shield below.
Crack!
A faint cracking sound echoed, and when Song Chi looked down, he saw that the Floating Land Shield of the Bat Blood Civilization had cracked open, forming a sizable hole.
Hiss! Inside the Floating Land, the Sixth Rank Celestial Bat emitted a sharp, high-frequency sound wave. Just as it was about to mobilize the numerous Fifth and Fourth Rank Celestial Bats to defend the crack, it was already too late.
The Sixth Rank Abyssal Devil, having received Song Chi's orders in advance, issued its command. Hundreds of Doomsday Star Clans above the Fourth Rank swarmed into the shield's crack, engaging the Celestial Bats in battle.
As for the only Sixth Rank Doomsday Star Clan, it followed the Abyssal Devil's remote command, enduring the constant onslaught of bloody scythes, and used its palms to firmly hold the shield's gap, preventing it from closing.
Only after this did the three Song family warships enter the Floating Land, along with the Sixth Rank enslaved beings like the Fiery Truth Giant, Flame Dragon Lizard, and Dragon Demon.
From the moment they successfully entered the interior of the Bat Blood Civilization, the outcome was already sealed.
A month and a half later, almost all the Fourth Rank and above Celestial Bats on the entire Bat Blood Civilization were killed by the Heaven Ruin Skydome. There were a few that managed to escape, but their impact was negligible.
Leaving behind a Flame-breathing Dragon to guard the Bat Blood Civilization, Song Wuyang planned to have it wait for the arrival of the family's development fleet. This Fifth Rank Floating Land would be placed after the Doomwind and Doommoon, which were both Sixth Rank Floating Lands, as the next target for the Origin Core Extractor.
Although the Dragon Spine Floating Land had a diameter of only fifty light-years when it was first promoted to the Sixth Rank, continuous investment of Floating Land Essence during the Expansion War had increased its size to nearly one hundred light-years. With the subsequent infusion of six-tenths of the Floating Land Essence from the Doomwind, Doommoon, Dragon Spine 001, and Dragon Spine 002, it was bound to rapidly expand to two hundred, or even three hundred light-years.
In other words, as long as the Song family persisted and was willing to invest manpower and resources, it wouldn't take long for the Dragon Spine Continent to reach the pinnacle of Sixth Rank Floating Lands. At that time, the family could attempt to advance it to the Seventh Rank.
After completing the follow-up arrangements, Song Chi and the other two did not linger and immediately returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.
In the following months, the Steadfast Dragon Soar and the Purple Moon Melody, along with the Heaven Ruin Skydome, visited numerous alien starfields, including the family's developed colonies and intermediate alien civilization starfields reported by lower-ranking clan members in recent years.
Seven months later, on the ninth month of the Heaven Ruin Skydome's warship promotion task, this continuous operation finally came to a halt.
It was not Song Wuyang or Song Xingru who called for a stop, but Song Chi himself.
"Grand Ancestor and Ru Zu, it's about time. I know of a Primal Mystic Realm, but due to confidentiality agreements, I cannot disclose any information about it. Well... If possible, I'd like to borrow your Sixth Rank Dragon Demon and Flame Dragon Lizard first."
The Song family's upper echelon was well aware of Song Chi's ability to access a special Beast Spirit Realm, so when he made the request, Song Wuyang and Song Xingru did not object.
After successfully obtaining the control permissions for the Dragon Demon and Flame Dragon Lizard, Song Chi used the Multiverse Marketplace as a transit point and quickly entered the Beast Spirit Realm.
Summoning the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi did not rush into action. Instead, he cautiously approached the weak connection point between the Beast Spirit Realm and the outer continent fragment, ensuring there were no abnormalities before proceeding with his plan.
Three years ago, after handling the affairs of the Dawnstar Kingdom, Rosetta Dawnstar predictably chose to return to the Dusk Starfield. With the overwhelming power of the Star Annihilator, she forcibly tore through the outer shield of the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment and began a thorough scavenging operation.
However, up until now, she had not discovered the existence of the Beast Spirit Realm.
"It's too risky. This time, I'll give this realm a final sweep, and its value will be greatly diminished. I can't come back again, or else I might run into the Dawnstar family one day!"
Muttering to himself, Song Chi turned the Heaven Ruin Skydome towards the mountain range where the Bright Sun Phoenix nest was located.
In Song Chi's opinion, the most valuable beings in the Beast Spirit Realm were the Bright Sun Phoenix and the Heaven Demon Phoenix. If possible, he wanted to take the two Bright Sun Phoenixes with him.
Compared to the Beast Spirit Realm, the Song family's Dragon Spine Realm was even more remarkable, and it could easily accommodate the transfer of the Bright Sun Phoenixes.
Soon after, Song Chi successfully located the Fifth Rank Bright Sun Phoenix, which was still accompanied by its "chick," now a Fourth Rank.
Initially, Song Chi thought he might need to persuade the Bright Sun Phoenix, but as soon as he released the chick, the mother and child were reunited. The Fifth Rank Bright Sun Phoenix, now at its peak, quickly agreed and allowed Song Chi to enslave them, after which they were taken aboard the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
