Chapter 526: 【Star Spirit Treasury】
Chapter 526: 【Star Spirit Treasury】
Under the influence of two beams of mirror light, the exteriors of the two Fireseed warships also underwent a transformation, eventually becoming two ordinary starships.
The change in appearance was only a part of it; the most crucial aspect was that the Heaven Ruin Skydome and Crimson Flame Seawarrior's hulls were further concealed, including the two Mirror Prism ships, making all four warships almost completely merge with the surrounding void, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to detect them.
In this state, the engines of the four warships roared to life, heading straight towards the distant Star Core City.
Of course, while this concealment effect was impressive, it might not work against Sovereign beings, so Song Chi and the others had been keeping their distance from the Sovereign battlefield above.
Even the Star Spirit Sovereign above hadn't noticed, let alone the Star Spirit Clan under its command. Despite the four warships appearing near the Star Core Shield, they remained undetected.
"Prepare for Spatial Illusion. Don't resist, and be aware that the Spatial Illusion will only last for twenty minutes, so don't delay!"
In the warship group chat, Mirror Princess gave another reminder. Then, her sixth-rank energy was fully mobilized, and a large amount of mirror light emanated from her Mirror Prism ship, quickly enveloping all four warships.
Inside the Star Core Array, in an unnoticed corner of the sky, the void seemed to turn into a translucent mirror. At one moment, a flash of brilliance appeared in this translucent mirror, but it soon returned to normal.
However, the truth was that the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the other three warships had already passed through the Star Core Shield above without any disturbance and appeared within Star Core City, unnoticed.
The crucial point was that the concealing mirror light on the four warships had not yet dissipated, and the countless Star Spirit Clan members below had not discovered their traces.
Seeing this eerie method, Song Chi's heart skipped a beat.
He wondered if this method could also be used on the Floating Land Shield. If so, the Mirror Illusion Clan would be truly formidable. This meant that the ultimate and strongest protection of many civilizations would be meaningless before them.
As if reading Song Chi's thoughts, Song Yan took the initiative to explain via private communication:
"This Spatial Illusion ability has significant limitations. The Star Spirit Sovereign has only recently ascended, and the Star Core Array's power level is still at the peak of the sixth rank. Additionally, Mirror Princess possesses a high-level Spatial Illusion-type artifact as an aid.
Otherwise, a sixth-rank Mirror Illusion Clan member couldn't achieve such an easy manipulation of space, let alone with an entire Floating Land as the foundation, a Floating Land Shield far larger than shields of the same rank."
After hearing the explanation, Song Chi thought it was more reasonable; otherwise, it would be too exaggerated.
All of this happened in an instant. In fact, after entering Star Core City, the four did not delay, as they only had twenty minutes.
"Follow me!"
Song Yan took the lead in piloting the Crimson Flame Seawarrior downward. He had left a backup plan in this Star Core City and was well aware of its layout. The direction he was heading towards was the location of the Star Spirit Clan's treasury.
The four warships didn't move too fast, or perhaps they dared not. From time to time, a fifth or sixth-rank Star Spirit Clan member would appear, and a slight misstep could lead to their discovery.
Fortunately, all the warships had short-range instant evasion abilities. After using this ability once, they arrived at the building where the Star Spirit Treasury was located, narrowly avoiding danger.
Buzz!
As the four warships attempted to charge into the building, they unexpectedly triggered a small Starlight Shield.
This sudden anomaly naturally caught the attention of the numerous Star Spirit Clan members nearby. The next second, countless Star Spirit Clan members glared at them, and a large number of starlight beams surged from all directions.
The four warships were no ordinary vessels and did not suffer much damage. However, after being covered by such firepower, they could no longer hide their forms, and their hulls were soon exposed to the many Star Spirit Clan members.
This further infuriated the Star Spirit Clan. Above their heads, an Origin Star was gathering, and with the enhancement of countless starlight, it rapidly expanded.
Hundred meters, thousand meters, ten thousand meters... In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a virtual star with a diameter of ten thousand meters.
Song Chi didn't care about the size; what concerned him was the threat this Origin Star posed. Even within the warship, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Driven by this intuition, he fully activated his Heavy Pupil.
"Indeed, the clan that has inherited the Crimson Star Continent for over ten thousand years is not ordinary. This Starlight Shield wasn't here before and must have been deliberately added by the sixth-rank Star Spirit Clan members after the Star Spirit Sovereign's departure!"
In the warship group chat, Song Yan's expression turned grim.
At this moment, Song Chi's voice suddenly sounded in the group chat.
"The Origin Star above contains the power of two golden artifacts, and with the Star Core City and the support of over ten sixth-rank Star Spirit Clan members, this thing possesses seventh-rank might. You all quickly break through the Starlight Shield, and I'll hold them off outside!"
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Song Yan, Mirror Princess, and the others didn't say more and agreed to this arrangement.
They were all experienced teammates, especially Song Yan and the other two. Seeing that Song Yan didn't object, Mirror Princess and the other naturally understood that Song Chi wasn't showing off but indeed had the capability.
In the control room of the Crimson Flame Seawarrior, Song Yan's mind raced as he swiftly activated a red-quality component on the ship.
A red beam of light shot out from the battleship's body, piercing the starlight shield in front at high speed, visibly dimming it significantly, but it didn't shatter immediately.
Fortunately, right after the red light, a sharp mirror prism shot out from the Mirror Princess's Mirror Prism Shuttle.
Kacha, kacha, kacha!
The already faint starlight shield shattered instantly.
"Old Seven!"
Three battleships rushed into the treasure vault building at full speed. Song Yan didn't forget to remind Song Chi, but it was obviously too late.
Above, the Origin Star had completely condensed and formed. Streams of Origin Starlight shot out from the star's phantom, carrying the might of a Sovereign, and spread downward.
In the control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's heart suddenly raced as he watched the overwhelming Origin Starlight descending upon them.
With the combination of the Radiant Shield, Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield, Black Hole Evolution Layer, and Neutron Star Core Armor, the Heaven Ruin Skydome had a high chance of withstanding the most powerful beam of Origin Starlight. After all, it was only a pseudo-Sovereign attack with the power of a seventh rank, but without the support of complete laws.
However, even if they could block this beam, the endless starlight that followed would still be a threat. These beams could penetrate any defense, and without the energy shield and hull armor, the Heaven Ruin Skydome would face great danger.
Of course, he could also activate the 'Ultimate Salvation' trait to restore the ship's armor and energy shield, but Song Yan's group couldn't do the same. This starlight seemed more like a cluster bombardment, and someone had to step up to block it.
"Go inside and loot. Just return at the agreed time; don't worry about us!"
"But remember, since I'm covering for you, we get 70% of the loot!"
It was clear that Mirror Princess had a decisive personality and was not lacking in courage. When Song Chi suddenly changed the distribution plan, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"You're right, your contribution is greater, so we'll split it 3:7!"
...
After the negotiation, Song Yan's group didn't linger and rushed into the depths of the treasure vault building.
Back outside, just as the seventh-rank Origin Starlight beam was about to hit the Heaven Ruin Skydome, a dazzling golden light burst from the battleship.
After the holy light, a towering Angelic King True Spirit Avatar covered the entire Heaven Ruin Skydome.
With the protection of an eighth-rank Angelic King True Spirit Avatar, the Sovereign-level Origin Starlight was weakened by 80%, no longer posing a significant threat to the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Under the protection of the holy light, the falling Origin Starlight was repelled, unable to penetrate the Angelic King True Spirit Avatar.
"Angels, how dare you invade our Star Core Holy City! You're seeking death!"
Seeing the giant Angelic King True Spirit Avatar above the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the Star Spirit Clan instinctively assumed Song Chi was an Angel.
Song Chi didn't bother explaining how he effortlessly diverted the danger.
He paid no mind to the increasing number of fifth and sixth-rank Star Spirit Clan members attacking from above. With the Angel Sovereign's Wing component now enhanced to level 70, the summoned Angelic King True Spirit Avatar was even more formidable, reducing the damage from ordinary sixth and fifth-rank attacks by over 90%.
Even with the remaining 10% of the attack's power, it would take a long time to completely erode the outermost Holy Light Shield of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, posing little threat.
The Star Spirit Clan seemed to realize the futility of their attacks and stopped.
At this moment, a sixth-rank peak Star Spirit Clan member soared into the sky, its body glowing with starlight as if linking with the Origin Star above.
At one point, the Origin Star completely linked with it, and Song Chi saw it raise its right arm. From below, it looked as if it were holding up the entire Origin Star.
Just as Song Chi wondered what it was doing, the sixth-rank peak Star Spirit Clan member suddenly swung its arm, and the Origin Star, measuring thousands of meters, turned into a falling meteor, descending with dazzling starlight and scorching flames.
"Damn, another star self-detonation. Do all those who wield star power have this move?"
This was Song Chi's first thought, and it was understandable. Whether it was the Tribulation Star Clan or the Star Spirit Clan, they seemed to be able to trigger a star's self-detonation after summoning its projection, as if the Shining Star Tower also had such a secret technique.
However, despite his complaints, Song Chi responded quickly.
Under his mental control, the Angelic King True Spirit Avatar above suddenly spread its six pairs of wings, gathering holy light energy and the law of light on them, and formed a ball of holy light that directly confronted the Origin Star.
Boom!
The collision of holy light and starlight created a terrifying energy shockwave that spread out from the point of contact.
