Chapter 492: The Cosmic Beast, Longfin Phantom Whale
Chapter 492: The Cosmic Beast, Longfin Phantom Whale
As Song Chi's words carried a hint of ridicule, the middle-aged man's expression grew increasingly gloomy. However, he remained silent, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to take action.
The rules established by the four super empires of the Flamekind had sufficient binding power.
Seeing the other party's silence, Song Chi took the initiative to offer a suggestion.
"Since you don't dare to take action here, how about we head to the nearest Cosmic Battlefield?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's projection in the communication channel unconsciously averted his gaze from Song Chi.
Although he didn't speak, his intention to retreat was implicit.
The Cosmic Battlefield, as the name suggests, is a high-level warship combat zone established by each major galaxy within the jurisdiction of the Flamekind civilization.
The Flamekind galaxy cluster spans a distance of ten billion light-years, and the number of ordinary Flamekind fleet captains is countless. Among them, battleship captains are one in a million, but with the vast population of the Flamekind, their numbers are still considerable. In such a situation, conflicts are inevitable.
Based on this, the four super empires of the Flamekind ordered that every ten million light-years, each galaxy must set up a Cosmic Battlefield in a desolate star domain. Within this Cosmic Battlefield, Flamekind fleet captains of battleships and above are free to resolve their personal grudges.
This is also a measure to benefit the people. Otherwise, if a Flamekind battleship captain or higher were to engage in a full-scale battle without regard for consequences, their terrifying combat power could easily affect the surrounding life-type floating continents with the slightest mishap.
At that time, the casualties would not be just ten or a hundred people, but millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
No matter what civilization, this situation must be strictly prevented.
Population size is the foundation of many civilizations' prosperity.
Take the Flamekind civilization as an example. Under the premise that Flamekind warships can freely explore the starry sea, the abundance of ordinary Flamekind fleet captains ensures a constant supply of high-end combat power for the civilization.
Exploring the starry sea, encountering exotic adventures, and colonizing star domains are all the foundations for the rapid development of the Flamekind civilization.
If the number of Flamekind citizens were to be significantly reduced, it would have a tremendous impact on the entire Flamekind civilization.
...
Although the Cosmic Battlefield is common knowledge, it was apparent that under Song Chi's casual tone and the terrifying size of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, which was fourteen thousand meters long, the middle-aged man from the Annan Corporation's battleship chose to back down.
Song Chi didn't intend to offend the other party too much. The infinite space law radiating from the warship instantly dissipated like a receding tide, and even the already formed Nether Slash vanished without a trace.
Speaking of absolute control over the Nether Slash secret technique, it was actually related to Song Chi's level of comprehension of the space law.
Before becoming a battleship captain, his comprehension of space law was just over 45%. After his Guidance Technique broke through the fifth rank, due to the sublimation of his life essence, his understanding of the law also experienced a small boost in a short period.
Compared to the comprehensive boost when breaking through from the third to the fourth rank, with the support of the Dual Pupil Illusion, the Pantheonic Marketplace, the False Dao Meditation Cushion, and the Dragon Whale Hall's enlightenment enhancement, along with the last use of the Time Boundary Tree to gain insight, he managed to increase his comprehension to 55% within ten years.
55% comprehension of space law is not an ordinary figure. It's worth noting that this is the space law, which is comparable to a 70% law mastery when compared to other starry sea laws.
It was because of his excellent control over space law that he could manipulate the Nether Slash, a space secret technique, at will.
Aside from space law, his comprehension of the light law had also made progress. Although he hadn't yet broken through the middle stage, he was just one step away, reaching 39.88%.
However, Song Chi was not satisfied. Although he specialized in space law, he couldn't afford to lag too far behind in light law, and he needed to keep up with the progress of ordinary fifth-rank lifeforms.
Withdrawing his thoughts, the Heaven Ruin Skydome slowly turned its hull. As for the middle-aged man from the Annan Corporation behind them, he remained silent from beginning to end.
The Nether Slash that had just appeared brought him an extreme sense of threat, making him realize that he and Song Chi were not of the same caliber.
This also marked the end of the standoff in a bizarre manner.
After returning to the vicinity of the Pan Family's two warships, the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the other two ships activated the alien star domain deployment. Once the charging was complete, the three ships disappeared one after another.
In the distant starry sky, several Pursuit Ship captains who had been observing earlier looked at each other in bewilderment, finally turning their gazes towards the second director in the center.
The middle-aged man, feeling somewhat embarrassed, left them with a brief message.
"This matter requires further discussion at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. You will continue to monitor here, and someone will notify you of the results later."
"Yes!"
Although they were somewhat confused, the four Pursuit Ship captains hurriedly agreed.
...
In the alien star domain, the pitch-black starry sky.
Two warships, one large and one small, were speeding through the void—the Heaven Ruin Skydome and Pan Ying's flagship.
The first alien star domain coordinates provided by the Pan Family were located in a star domain controlled by a fifth-rank civilization.
This civilization was a technology-oriented one, and although it was a fifth-rank civilization, there were more than ten fifth-rank units within the civilization. However, there were no fifth-rank floating continents in the civilization's territory, only two fourth-rank peak life-type floating continents.
But this was a good thing. The Heaven Ruin Skydome would be completely free from the pressure of taking action. After all, if there were floating continent shields supported by fifth-rank floating continents, Song Chi would still face a difficult situation. It would be much easier with fourth-rank peak shields.
This wasn't the most exciting part. Perhaps because it had been a long time since they had faced threats from other civilizations, when they arrived outside the "Heavenlight Continent," the central hub of the Heavenlight Civilization, four out of the five fifth-rank Heavenlight warships were not within the protection of the fourth-rank peak floating continent shield but were docked in the starport outside the floating continent.
"Get ready to finish them off!"
In the nearby starport, Song Chi's voice echoed through the communication channel between the two stealthy warships.
Upon hearing this, Pan Ying's face showed signs of tension and unease, and her gaze kept shifting to the Heaven Ruin Skydome beside her.
Although she had previously expressed her confidence in the combat power of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, it was merely a guess. Now that the time for action had come, Pan Ying couldn't help but feel anxious.
The warship promotion mission had already begun. If the Heaven Ruin Skydome's combat power wasn't as strong as she had believed, the chances of a successful promotion would significantly decrease.
The next second, when Pan Ying saw forty-two "Quantum Blade Shadows" over five kilometers long appearing at the bow of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the tension in her eyes instantly dissipated.
Song Chi activated the group attack feature of the Taiyi Quantum Blade Turret, the "Taiyi Quantum Blade Array", even though it wasn't fully charged yet. Pan Ying, however, had already felt a terrifying destructive power from the forty-two giant "Quantum Blade Shadows" that made her tremble with fear.
If Song Chi knew what she was thinking, he would probably just smile and remain silent.
Because the "Taiyi Quantum Blade Array" activated this time was only in its weakest form.
Not to mention anything else, first of all, the Taiyi Quantum Blade Turret was only level 69 and hadn't been enhanced to the Seventh Rank yet.
Secondly, the "Black Hole Collapse" and "Black Hole Singularity Burst" traits were also not activated. If they were fully activated, Song Chi feared that those few Heavenlight Civilization warships would be reduced to wreckage under this round of attack.
Buzz!
The terrifying Quantum Blade Shadows shot out, and in their extreme speed and terrifying cutting ability, forty-two spatial rifts followed closely behind.
The moment the Quantum Blade Shadows fully erupted, the Heaven Ruin Skydome was completely exposed to the outer starry sky, but it was already too late. The four Fifth-Rank Heavenlight Civilization warships in the distant star port didn't have time to react at all. In the blink of an eye, the forty-two Quantum Blade Shadows crossed tens of thousands of kilometers and flew towards them.
Boom!
Amidst the intense explosions, the star port built by the Heavenlight Civilization instantly turned into ruins. The four Fifth-Rank Heavenlight Civilization warships managed to maintain their basic warship particle shields, which prevented them from being directly destroyed. However, even so, three of the Heavenlight Civilization warships quickly lost their combat capabilities.
Only the one that was docked at a distance from the center of the "Taiyi Quantum Blade Array" attack retained some combat capability, but it soon followed the fate of the previous three under Song Chi's second activation of the "True Immortal Quantum Sword Light".
After finishing this, Song Chi turned his gaze towards Pan Ying.
Pan Ying nodded, reacting quickly. All the cannons on the pale cyan warship were activated, and countless cannon fire poured towards the four Heavenlight Civilization warships that had already lost their combat capabilities.
Pan Ying's ship had formidable firepower, and through the analysis of the Sky-Dome AI, it was likely that its super main cannon was a Silver-grade component, and both main cannons were Red-grade, with high enhancement levels.
In just over ten minutes, all the Heavenlight Civilization warships in the star port were destroyed.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Pan Ying's gaze returned to Song Chi's projection in the communication channel. In just over ten minutes, the expression in the depths of her eyes had undergone a fundamental change.
If before, it was five parts worry and five parts expectation, now it had turned into ten parts reverence.
A single strike that disabled four Fifth-Rank Heavenlight Civilization warships—such a feat was something Pan Ying would never have believed possible before, but in Song Chi's hands, it seemed like a casual move, effortlessly executed.
Song Chi didn't know if he hadn't noticed or didn't care, but he turned his gaze and looked directly at the nearby Fourth-Rank Floating Continent.
With such a commotion at the star port, it was impossible for the Heavenlight Floating Continent not to notice. By this time, tens of thousands of warships had already taken off and were hovering inside the floating continent's shield, ready for battle.
Facing this situation, Pan Ying turned her gaze towards Song Chi, as if asking for his thoughts.
Song Chi's response was straightforward. The Heaven Ruin Skydome's Antimatter Evolution Engine roared, propelling the warship towards the floating continent ahead.
In response to the Heaven Ruin Skydome's actions, the Heavenlight Civilization chose to counterattack with their ship cannons.
The last Fifth-Rank Heavenlight Civilization warship's bow had a space-based particle cannon rapidly charging.
When its high-energy particle beam erupted, the energy shield on the outer layer of the Heaven Ruin Skydome also burst into a violent ripple, and the brilliance of the energy shield instantly dimmed by more than half.
But was this really the case?
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, a cold smile appeared in Song Chi's eyes.
The power of this high-energy particle beam was indeed formidable, but the truth was that the Yin-Yang Offset Annihilation Shield on the Heaven Ruin Skydome had not suffered any damage at all. It had only worn down the layer of holy light shield derived from the Angelic Sovereign's Wing component.
And even then, it was only just over half. To completely erase this holy light shield, they would need another shot, and only then would they truly touch the energy shield of the Heaven Ruin Skydome itself.
But would Song Chi give them that chance?
The Piercing Cone, Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon, Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation Bow, and Soul Annihilation Eye Cannon components were all activated at this moment.
The "Piercing Light" generated by the Piercing Cone tore a subtle rift in the floating continent's shield, and immediately after, the attack traits of several cannons followed in quick succession.
In this way, a very impressive entrance and exit passage was successfully created on the Fourth-Rank Floating Continent's shield. With the Flame Wrath Giant and One-Eyed Demon, two Sixth-Rank lifeforms, rushing out from the Heaven Ruin Skydome, this Fourth-Rank Floating Continent was now completely open to Song Chi and Pan Ying.
Behind and to the side, Pan Ying was still in shock. She had never known that the shield generated by a Fourth-Rank Floating Continent could be torn apart so easily.
It wasn't until Song Chi's call sounded in her ear that Pan Ying finally realized and followed the Heaven Ruin Skydome into the Heavenlight Floating Continent.
With the entry of the two warships, the subsequent results were self-evident. In less than a month, all Fourth-Rank and above warships on this floating continent were personally sunk by Pan Ying.
After dealing with this Heavenlight Floating Continent, the two of them hurried to the Heavenlight Civilization's second Fourth-Rank Floating Continent.
In the following six months, Song Chi followed Pan Ying to multiple star domains, hunting down many Fifth-Rank flesh-and-blood lifeforms and mechanical units.
Silver Disc Galaxy, Southern Star Domain, Phoenix Continent.
It was still Pan Family's Fifth-Rank Floating Continent, but after more than nine months, the Heaven Ruin Skydome had already been welcomed into the Phoenix Continent by the Pan Family.
Of course, this naturally involved signing an agreement not to take the initiative to attack, and Song Chi also signed a confidentiality agreement with Pan Ying. During these nine months, he had used many means to ensure the confidentiality of his identity, and he had signed a confidentiality agreement with Pan Ying early on.
On this day, in the sky above the floating continent, the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the pale cyan warship were hidden in the clouds.
In the warship's communication channel, Pan Ying took the initiative to explain softly.
"Sir, this time our target is a Sixth-Rank Cosmic Beast, the Longfin Phantom Whale. Although it has just entered the Sixth Rank, it is still a Cosmic Beast. You see..."
