Chapter 513: The Doomsday Hunt Order and Enslavement of the Dominator
Boom!
After the dull sound of flesh colliding, the Starry Sky Shark let out a mournful wail.
Tiger-Turtle King Worm, why is it named after the tiger and turtle?
It is precisely because of the existence of the Tiger-Turtle Secret Pattern on the thick head armor of the Tiger-Turtle King Worm that they possess formidable head defense while also having extreme dark energy penetration. They can usually ignore the outer defense of the object they collide with, directly affecting its inner flesh and even organs.
At this moment, the Starry Sky Shark's flesh and blood were obviously severely damaged, but the Tiger-Turtle King Worm was not about to give it time to catch its breath. Using the counterforce generated by the impact, it once again created a considerable distance and then charged head-on for the second time.
At this time, the Starry Sky Shark also responded, activating its second inherited divine ability.
Shark Riptide!
Under the shroud of an ancient shark spirit shadow, the Starry Sky Shark, enveloped in the law of infinite force, charged head-on towards the Tiger-Turtle King Worm.
After a moment, the two huge beasts collided fiercely, and even though they were nearly a million kilometers apart, the Heaven Ruin Skydome's hull still trembled under the powerful storm of Dominator energy.
This was because the "Mirage" trait did not determine that the warship was under attack; otherwise, the Heaven Ruin Skydome would have been directly exposed.
Carefully maneuvering the warship to continue moving backward, his gaze never left the battlefield ahead.
In the previous collision, the Starry Sky Shark and the Tiger-Turtle King Worm had not determined a winner, and at this moment, they were still continuously colliding head-on.
This process continued for about ten minutes. When the layer of blood armor on the Starry Sky Shark's body was about to expire, the two Sawtooth King Worms hovering nearby immediately closed in. The sickle blades flashing with cold light once again slashed at the Starry Sky Shark's body.
Affected by the two Sawtooth King Worms, the Starry Sky Shark could no longer collide head-on with the Tiger-Turtle King Worm, which meant that it had to endure the Tiger-Turtle King Worm's one-sided collisions.
After a long time, the Starry Sky Shark finally could no longer endure, and it began to gather Dominator energy at its tail.
Seemingly understanding its intention, the three Dominator-level King Worms quickly responded.
The mouthparts of the two Sawtooth King Worms opened, and sharp shrieks immediately emanated from their mouths.
"The soul shriek of the Queen Mother of the Insect Tribe, indeed!"
Realizing that his previous guess was correct, Song Chi's gaze turned to the Starry Sky Shark, wondering if it had other countermeasures or if it would be slowly strangled by the Insect Tribe Queen Mother hiding in the shadows.
While carefully observing the battle, Song Chi's eyes flickered, as if countless thoughts were swirling in his mind.
As expected, with the soul shriek tactic, the Starry Sky Shark, which was preparing to escape, could only be interrupted.
Taking advantage of its soul being shocked, the two Sawtooth King Worms and the Tiger-Turtle King Worm launched a highly coordinated continuous attack while the Starry Sky Shark was in a state of stupor.
When the Starry Sky Shark turned back, preparing to activate its escape ability again, the Insect Tribe Queen Mother hiding in the shadows once again used the same tactic, activating her soul shriek ability, and immediately afterward, the three Dominator-level King Worms seized the opportunity to attack.
After repeating this several times, the injuries on the Starry Sky Shark's body became increasingly terrifying.
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi held a Ruins Market Token, and with the support of the Ruins Market Law, his ethereal energy surged to the sixth rank.
The sixth-rank ethereal energy, combined with the full activation of his dual pupils, allowed him to perceive the already dimming life force on the Starry Sky Shark, even from a distance of a million kilometers.
Song Chi frowned. The Starry Sky Shark's endurance was indeed not up to par. It was worth noting that even a normal Starry Sky Beast might also be suppressed by the three Dominator-level King Worms under the direct control of the Queen Mother of the Insect Tribe, but it would never be as exhausted as the Starry Sky Shark was after such a short time.
However, seeing this, Song Chi's gaze became fixed, and the interior of the warship glowed as he activated multiple components.
In the distance, the three Dominator-level insects once again created a considerable distance from the Starry Sky Shark, almost instinctively. When the Starry Sky Shark recovered from the soul shock, it once again gathered Dominator energy at its tail, free from the entanglement of the three Dominator-level insects.
Even though it was already extremely weak, the instinct for survival still drove it to strive for the last glimmer of survival.
The Insect Tribe Queen Mother, who had been hiding in the shadows and wasting a lot of time and energy, naturally would not let the Starry Sky Shark escape at this final moment.
The mouthparts of the two Sawtooth King Worms opened once more, obviously preparing to launch the soul shriek again.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Countless rays of thunder flew in from the distance, and in an instant, they traversed the endless distance, condensing ten thousand Purple Heaven Thunder Talismans around the three Dominator-level King Worms.
In addition to the thunder talismans, two rays of golden light also shot towards them, which were difficult to capture with the naked eye.
The golden light followed the ten thousand Purple Heaven Thunder Talismans, but unlike the talismans, they did not scatter and separate. Instead, they directly pointed at the two Sawtooth King Worms with their mouthparts wide open.
These were the two "Tranquil Seal: External Time Stop" traits activated by Song Chi one after the other.
The first activation was normal, and the second was activated after the "Time Speed" effect.
As they precisely entered the bodies of the two Sawtooth King Worms, the two Sawtooth King Worms suddenly stopped, and even the impending shriek was temporarily frozen.
This sudden change caught the insects off guard, including the Queen Mother hiding in the shadows.
The Queen Mother's reaction was swift. After a brief moment of surprise, she immediately communicated with the souls of the three Dominator-level King Worms, and under their unique soul link, the time stop state on the two frozen Sawtooth King Worms lasted for less than two seconds.
However, by the time they turned around, it was too late to continue activating the Divine Soul's Scream to disrupt the Starry Sky Shark.
As an immense amount of Dominator power gathered at its tail, the Starry Sky Shark, ahead of the two Sawtooth King Worms turning around, had already activated the final inherited divine ability of the Dragon Shark clan.
Shark Blood Blaze Vanish!
The space force fluctuated, and the heavily wounded Starry Sky Shark suddenly vanished into the void. By the time the piercing screams from the two Sawtooth King Worms reached them, it was already too late.
Hissss!
In an instant, a large number of insect tribe roars reverberated throughout the starry sky ahead, as tens of millions of insects from the surrounding starry sky sensed the anger of their Mother Emperor.
Hearing these chilling roars, Song Chi, who had already activated the spatial leap, felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
Although he had previously guessed that there was a high probability of a Mother Emperor of the Insect Tribe nearby, a guess was still just a guess. Hearing the dense roars now was an entirely different matter.
Fortunately, he had already activated the spatial leap, and as the millions of agitated Starry Sky Insects swarmed towards the source of the cannon fire, searching for the hidden Heaven Ruin Skydome, the battleship had already disappeared into the spatial vortex.
Some insects even caught a glimpse of the Heaven Ruin Skydome as it exited the Mirage Shadow state after its attack, but the next second, the battleship completely vanished.
Before the leap, Song Chi glanced back at the insects with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
What they didn't notice was that in that strike, not only did it contain the Ten Thousand Purple Heaven Thunder Prison and the Tranquil Seal: External Time Stop, but there was also an extremely subtle silver mark.
This mark, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, flashed alongside one of the Time Stop golden lights and vanished into the body of one of the Sawtooth King Worms.
This silver mark was none other than the Doomsday Tracking Seal's 'Doomsday Hunt Order' trait. With this hunt order successfully embedded in the body of that Dominator-grade Sawtooth King Worm, as long as it didn't die, he could accurately pinpoint its location through the Doomsday Tracking Seal component for the next four hundred and fifty years.
This was part of the plan he had formulated in a short time. Although for now, neither he nor the entire Song family could afford to provoke a swarm of insects with at least one Mother Emperor and three Dominator-grade King Worms, the 'Doomsday Hunt Order' could last for four hundred and fifty years. By then, perhaps everything would be different.
However, he didn't think too much about it now, as another important matter awaited his attention.
[Kill a 4th Rank Splatter Worm and obtain a wisp of 3rd Rank Floating Land Origin.]
[Kill a 3rd Rank Ironclad Worm and obtain a wisp of 2nd Rank Floating Land Origin.]
...
The Skyward Intelligence Core's prompts continued, as the insects slain by the Ten Thousand Purple Heaven Thunder Prison provided origins from various ranks of Floating Lands.
Song Chi ignored the constant alerts and fixed his gaze on the radar map before him.
"Escaping over a thousand light-years in one go, worthy of a Dominator-grade Starry Sky Shark. According to the family's records, an ordinary 4th Rank Starry Sky Shark using this 'Shark Blood Blaze Vanish' can only escape for a few light-years. If not for the Aurora Leap Device's leap star map being generated first, we might have lost it!"
Song Chi sighed, his gaze unwavering from the radar map displayed on the Heaven's Eye, the golden space radar.
It was clear to see on the radar display that not far ahead of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, a massive creature was rapidly approaching. Its body was almost entirely covered in silver blood, and its life force had weakened to the extreme.
It was the previous Dominator-grade Starry Sky Shark.
Song Chi dared not let the Heaven Ruin Skydome get too close, only following from a distance.
After all, the Mirage Shadow trait had not yet cooled down, and relying solely on the red-quality permanent stealth state of the Void Veil, he couldn't guarantee remaining unnoticed if he got too close, even though the Starry Sky Shark was currently extremely weak. Song Chi had always believed in never underestimating any Dominator-grade being.
Which one of these beings, who had reached the pinnacle of the Starry Sea, would be simple? Just like the previous Abyssal Devourer Beast, even with the Song family's highest level of attention, the result was still barely acceptable.
As for his purpose this time, it was actually quite simple—to confirm the final resting place of this Starry Sky Shark.
Having been pushed to the brink of starfall by the attacks of several Dominator King Insects, the Starry Sky Shark's only remaining goal must be to find a sufficiently hidden place, enter a deep slumber, and attempt to repair its severe injuries. Once its resting place is confirmed, Song Chi could boldly attempt to enslave it.
Even if enslavement is impossible, it could still be used as fuel for the battleship's promotion later on.
Finally, the Starry Sky Shark, after flying all the way, found a 3rd-rank resource-type Floating Land, which was currently unoccupied by any other force.
Although it was of a lower rank, the Floating Land's slow absorption and conversion of stray energy from the outside world might affect the time required for its recovery. However, the Starry Sky Shark obviously couldn't care about that now. Its life force had weakened to the limit, and if it didn't enter slumber, death would be its only fate.
In the depths of the dark starry sky beyond the 3rd-rank Floating Land, Song Chi witnessed the Dominator-grade Starry Sky Shark slowly drilling into the core of the Floating Land. A bright light flashed in his eyes.
Such was the case, and everything was now under his control.
However, he didn't rely solely on his own eyes for judgment; instead, he quickly activated the "Spiritual Detection" trait of Heaven's Eye.
When he saw that the radar only showed a single highest-level fifth-rank life energy fluctuation on the floating land below, he finally confirmed that the Starry Sky Shark had entered deep sleep.
Due to its deep slumber, it had suppressed more than ninety-nine percent of its life energy, which was why the "Spiritual Detection" only showed a fifth-rank life energy fluctuation.
After confirming this, for added precaution, Song Chi left the two fifth-rank Void Demons on the Heaven Ruin Skydome to keep an eye on the Tier 3 Floating Land below. If they discovered anything, they were to immediately contact him through telepathic means.
After taking these measures, his gaze shifted to the Heaven's Eye and the Doomsday Tracking Seal components.
First, he used the Doomsday Tracking Seal to pinpoint the current location of the Dominator-grade Sawtooth King Worm. When he saw that the coordinates of the King Worm were still continuously moving, he thought to himself:
"Is it still searching for the Heaven Ruin Skydome? Or is it desperately searching for the escaping Starry Sky Shark?"
Shaking his head, he didn't bother to guess further. Regardless of which it was, it was impossible for the other party to succeed.
After all, whether it was the Starry Sky Shark or the Heaven Ruin Skydome, they had both leap-translocated over a thousand light-years in one go.
Although a thousand light-years might seem insignificant in the vastness of the Broken Star Sea's void, for a search without any leads, finding a specific target within a thousand light-year range was no simple task.
Song Chi didn't hesitate. He left his ethereal body on the battleship to monitor the situation in real time while he himself entered the Multiverse Marketplace to further familiarize himself with the Martial Dao Celestial Eye secret technique.
It wasn't until half a month later that his ethereal body received a notification from the Skyward Intelligence Core.
"Attention, the target has not moved for more than twenty-four hours. Estimated to have returned to its nest!"
Upon hearing this notification, Song Chi immediately returned to the battleship and confirmed that the "Doomsday Hunt" mark hadn't moved. He approached the Heaven's Eye component.
"Hopefully, there won't be any special interference!"
With this thought, the "Heaven's Eye" trait of the Heaven's Eye component was activated.
The next moment, a golden-hued projection screen suddenly appeared above the battleship's control panel. The image on the screen showed a large insect swarm nest located on a Tier 6 life-type floating land.
Seeing that the remote monitoring effect of Heaven's Eye was unaffected, Song Chi felt a sense of surprise. He quickly began observing this large insect swarm nest located on a Tier 6 life-type floating land.
Currently, the ordinary fourth and fifth-rank insect tribes weren't his focus. His attention was entirely on the figure in the center of the nest, a being that embodied perfection, strangeness, and grotesqueness all at once.
Its skin was crystal-clear, like a transparent gem, with a faint purple hue that added a touch of elegance and nobility to its beauty. Its full and voluptuous chest, as well as its exquisitely perfect facial features, made it a sight that could be described as absolutely beautiful by human aesthetic standards.
However, this was only its upper body. As Song Chi's gaze moved downward, past its slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, he soon saw its lower body—swollen, covered in blood vessels, resembling a giant worm—which made his skin crawl.
This was why Song Chi used both 'perfect' and 'grotesque' to describe the Insect Queen Mother.
Song Chi's gaze moved away from the Insect Queen Mother, and he began scanning the surroundings.
"One, two, three, four... weren't there three Dominator-grade King Insects before?"
"Are the other two out searching for prey?"
Just as this thought crossed his mind, another one quickly followed.
"If I'm not mistaken, if the Dominator-grade Starry Sky Shark is successfully hunted, it won't be long before this Insect Queen Mother can rely on the massive blood energy within its corpse to give birth to a fifth, or even a sixth, King Insect!"
"Never mind, for now, it's most important to think about how to successfully enslave that Starry Sky Shark. If we can truly accomplish that, the combat power of the Heaven Ruin Skydome will rival, or even surpass, that of the Limitless Dreadnought."
Song Chi shook his head and canceled the remote surveillance projection of Heaven's Eye.
He left a spatial anchor point in place and directly returned to the Dragon Spine Continent through the marketplace.
Regardless of whether the Insect Queen Mother was still searching for the Starry Sky Shark, he had to make haste.
As the saying goes, only when something is secured can one feel at ease.
Only by successfully enslaving this Starry Sky Shark could it truly become a part of the Heaven Ruin Skydome's combat power. Moreover, the Starry Sky Shark was currently heavily injured, and the sooner it was enslaved, the sooner it could enter the Life System Medical Repair Chamber for treatment and quickly recover its peak combat power.
Of course, all of this was premised on one thing: the success of the enslavement.
