Chapter 540: The Colorful Time Chessboard
Chapter 540: The Colorful Time Chessboard
From the very beginning, Song Chi had always been on guard against the possibility of spatial anomalies.
This was why he had never used the 'Black Hole Domain' trait, an extremely rare and absolute invincibility trait. The 'Black Hole Domain' could ensure the absolute safety of the Heaven Ruin Skydome for a certain period of time.
Song Chi's initial thought was that if they did encounter spatial anomalies, the 'Black Hole Domain' trait would provide the best possible protection for the Heaven Ruin Skydome. It was just an added insurance, but he never expected to actually use it.
However, he did not hold back on using the black hole energy. When he gathered the singularity, he utilized all 30,000 points of black hole energy to buy as much time as possible, delaying the ancient demon sovereign's hand and preventing the Heaven Ruin Skydome from being caught in the spatial anomaly or having its warp interrupted.
But this did not affect the activation of the 'Black Hole Domain' at this moment.
Through the ethereal body, he saw that the black hole energy attached to the 'Black Hole Evolution Layer' component had been replenished and returned to its full value of 30,000 points.
As for the reason, the 'Black Hole Evolution Layer' component could absorb half of the energy from external attacks and convert it into black hole energy. The spatial anomalies and spatial gales carried an immense amount of energy.
Therefore, the black hole energy was replenished.
Without hesitation, the Skyward AI emptied all 30,000 points of black hole energy, and a special black hole domain quickly formed around the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Seeing this, Song Chi immediately recalled the last bit of energy from the Void Market Projection, and at the same time, the ethereal body inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome quickly activated the second Void Market Projection Token.
The Void Market Projection, shrouded in endless spatial anomalies, almost went unnoticed as it crossed the starry sky, and the purple mist energy gathered with difficulty.
In the command room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the ethereal body's gaze remained fixed on the 'Black Hole Evolution Layer' component.
Although 30,000 points of black hole energy had been invested, Song Chi was not sure how long the black hole domain could last. After all, it had only been enhanced to the seventh rank, and the destructive power of the spatial anomalies outside was extremely terrifying.
"No, we can't wait for the Void Market Projection to slowly gather energy!"
In the Void Market, Song Chi's intuition told him that the duration of the black hole domain might not be able to last until the Void Market Projection fully condensed. The terrifying spatial anomalies around it had already greatly slowed down the condensation speed of the purple mist energy.
Thinking of this, he voluntarily used the 'Shining Star Arrival' and 'Death Star Arrival' secret techniques within the Void Market.
Soon, the projections of two ancient stars descended upon the sky above the Multiverse Ruins Market, floating silently on either side of Song Chi's head. The scattered starlight made Song Chi resemble a star lord standing alone in the universe.
With the blessing of the two ancient stars, the power of the sovereign within Song Chi became even more formidable.
In the void warp passage outside, the purple mist energy gathered at an accelerated pace, and just before the black hole domain collapsed, the Void Market Projection successfully condensed.
The second Void Market Projection was successfully formed, fulfilling the initial expectations. From now on, they could only hope that the Heaven Ruin Skydome would successfully reach the exit of the warp passage before the power of the second Void Market Projection was completely exhausted.
If not, Song Chi could only place his hopes on the 'Heaven Authority Control Ring' component.
By now, the Heaven Ruin Skydome had exhausted all its means, leaving only the 'Enslavement Seal·Frenzy' trait of the 'Heaven Authority Control Ring'.
If it came to that, he could only use the sixth-rank Tribulation Star Tribe on the battleship as a vessel to activate the 'Enslavement Seal·Frenzy' trait, temporarily granting it the power of the sovereign, and see if it could protect the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
However, Song Chi was determined not to resort to this option, as the power of the sovereign gained through the 'Enslavement Seal·Frenzy' trait was not true sovereign power, and its effectiveness in protecting the Heaven Ruin Skydome was uncertain.
In the void sky, while remotely controlling the Void Market Projection to resist the endless spatial anomalies, Song Chi also had a rough guess about the ancient demon sovereign he had encountered.
First, the ancient demon sovereign must possess a high-rank spatial artifact and possibly even remote tracking capabilities, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how it could easily track the Heaven Ruin Skydome, which was over ten thousand light-years away, and even manage to attack from a distance of thirteen thousand light-years.
Secondly, this ancient demon sovereign was most likely at the peak of the seventh rank, or even an eighth-rank ancient demon. If it were an ordinary seventh-rank sovereign, the combat power it displayed this time seemed somewhat beyond its rank.
Thinking of this, he shook his head lightly.
"If the Void Market had already advanced to the sixth rank, the result would not have been like this. Fortunately, it's almost there!"
Withdrawing his thoughts, he refocused on the Multiverse Ruins Market itself.
Under his control, the Multiverse Ruins Market secret realm began to move rapidly in the void sea.
Due to the position of the Void Market, the projections of the two ancient stars that had been summoned earlier were repelled outside the market, unable to be reflected within.
In other words, the Shining Star and Death Star projections were all exposed in the void sea, and the astonishing starlight shone out to an unknown distance, undoubtedly attracting the attention of many wandering void demons.
Therefore, while protecting the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi also had to control the position of the Multiverse Ruins Market secret realm to ensure its safety.
Fortunately, today's streak of bad luck seemed to have been exhausted on the ancient demon sovereign, and no other unexpected events occurred afterward.
Not only did the Multiverse Ruins Market secret realm successfully relocate to a new and safe area, but the situation of the Heaven Ruin Skydome outside also improved.
Through the perspective of the ethereal body, Song Chi saw a spatial rift at the edge of the field of view in the distance.
This spatial rift was different from the previous ones, with a shocking diameter and located at the edge of the warp passage, not inside it. It seemed to connect to the outside starry sky.
At first, Song Chi couldn't be sure, but as time passed, he gradually found the answer.
"Yes, it's a rift connecting to the outside starry sky!"
With this confirmation, Song Chi was overjoyed.
At this moment, the power of the second Void Market Projection had also consumed most of its energy and couldn't last much longer. Originally, he was about to remind the Skyward AI to activate the 'Enslavement Seal·Frenzy' trait, but now it seemed unnecessary.
In the unknown starry sky, there was an extremely long spatial rift zone.
In the core area of the spatial rift zone, a flash of light appeared, and a severely damaged battleship burst out from a spatial rift.
Behind the battleship, a strong spatial gale followed.
Fortunately, the purple mist projection above the battleship had not completely faded, and it finally dissipated the spatial gale.
Battleship Command Room, a spatial fluctuation brushed past, and Song Chi's figure quietly appeared.
"Spatial Rift Zone?"
Scanning his surroundings, he noticed that the vast area of space where the Heaven Ruin Skydome had appeared was filled with numerous irregular spatial rifts.
"Was this caused by a large-scale interstellar war, or is it inherently a weak spatial zone?"
He had some speculations about the formation of this spatial rift zone, but soon dismissed them.
Currently, his main concern was the condition of the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the two fifth-rank Tribulation Star Tribe members still on the fifth-rank Floating Land.
The Yin-Yang Counteract Annihilation Shield was completely overloaded.
The Neutron Star Core Armor was damaged by 68%.
The ship's hull had sustained 40% damage.
"Still acceptable, but today it's unlikely that we can leave this spatial rift zone. We'll have to wait until the two repair components cool down before making any decisions..."
Song Chi glanced at the radar map and the territory star map, neither of which showed any abnormalities, and then confidently entered the Void Market.
Void Market, Inn, Third Floor.
In a certain room, Song Chi obtained the storage capsule brought back by the fifth-rank Tribulation Star Tribe member.
Inside was the titanium crystal that had been mined.
The small vein had a decent amount of reserves, and in the end, they mined seventy-three thousand titanium crystals, enough for Song Chi to use for quite some time.
The four mining vehicles were abandoned at the bottom of the floating land, and in the future, they might be discovered by an ancient demon, but it didn't matter much as they weren't of great value anyway.
After storing the titanium crystals, Song Chi began to inventory the loot he had scavenged from the Ancient Demon King City's treasury.
There wasn't much, after all, it was just a fifth-rank floating land, not the accumulated foundation of an entire civilization. Aside from that silver artifact, there were only three red epic artifacts, and not many orange or purple artifacts either.
However, there were quite a few floating land origins, but he didn't lack those.
Hmm... He didn't lack those below the seventh rank.
Apart from that, there were some mineral resources, and surprisingly, there were even ten pieces of Eternal Stone Bricks.
Song Chi returned to the outside world and integrated them into the Heaven Ruin Skydome's hull.
The Heaven Ruin Skydome had already integrated quite a few of these bricks, and with the slow reinforcement of the Black Hole Evolution Layer component, along with the support of the Byam's Heart and Yang·United Heart Talisman components, the durability of the Heaven Ruin Skydome's hull had long surpassed that of its peers.
If it weren't for this, the ship would have likely sunk directly in the spatial anomaly.
Therefore, Song Chi took great care of this, and every time he obtained new Eternal Stone Bricks, he would integrate them into the battleship as soon as possible.
...
The next day, with the alternating use of the two repair components, the Heaven Ruin Skydome was fully restored.
Song Chi didn't delay and, after activating the Neutron Star Fission feature, directly initiated the spatial jump.
When he exited the jump state, he found himself in a normal starry sky.
His gaze shifted between the surrounding dark starry sky and the territory star map, and Song Chi rubbed his forehead.
Due to the spatial anomaly, he had no idea where the Heaven Ruin Skydome had ended up, to put it simply, he was lost.
Unless he immediately returned to the Void Market and went back to the original spatial anchor point in the empty belt, and then chose a new direction to continue exploring, it would be difficult to find his previous position again.
He didn't decide right away but waited for more than a month.
After more than a month, the Crimson Horizon Warp feature was activated again.
This time, Song Chi randomly chose a jump direction, and if he didn't find anything, he would immediately return to the previous empty belt.
Over six million light-years away, after the jump ended, Song Chi's first action was to look outside the battleship.
Looking at the familiar, serene starry sky around him, he was about to recall the battleship and return through the Void Market.
At this moment, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the territory on the Heaven Authority Control Ring component, and his eyes narrowed.
"Is this a new light point? And this radiance..."
Gazing at the seven-colored light point displayed on the edge of the territory star map, Song Chi's breath nearly stopped.
"Is this... a blessing in disguise?"
"Did that spatial anomaly directly bring the Heaven Ruin Skydome near the Time Chessboard's main body?"
He could almost certainly conclude that this seven-colored light point was the location of the Time Chessboard's main body.
And more importantly, it wasn't just about the light, but the "seven-colored radiance."
Seven colors, what did that imply? Song Chi's first thought was the Colored Mythical Artifact.
Thinking that the Time Chessboard was likely a colored mythical artifact, he couldn't help but feel excited. However, after the initial excitement, Song Chi quickly calmed down.
First of all, this was just his speculation. Even if this seven-colored light point was indeed the location of the Time Chessboard's main body, and it was also a colored mythical artifact, he wasn't sure if he could obtain it. He didn't know what the situation was nearly two billion light-years away, where the light point was located. It was too early to celebrate.
Moreover, even if he rushed there at full speed, it would take more than three years to cover two billion light-years.
"I hope it's not the lair of the Primordial Clan, that would be too much to bear..."
If it were the Primordial Clan or the lair of another advanced civilization, with his current capabilities, it would be impossible for him to obtain it.
Even if the Void Market were to advance to the sixth rank and the Dominator Persona reached the eighth rank, it wouldn't be enough.
After calming down, Song Chi once again entered the Void Market and quietly waited for over a month for the Crimson Horizon Warp to cool down again.
In the meantime, he opened another Void Market transaction, but this time, his luck was poor. Although there were quite a few alien races entering the market, there were only a few fourth and fifth-rank aliens.
The only good news was that he successfully traded for a Skyfall Meteorite from a low-rank alien race. This was one of the special resource formulas required for a battleship to advance to a dreadnought. With this meteorite, he had collected three out of the four resources in the formula, only lacking a high-grade spatial law crystal.
"Calculating the time, it's been nearly two hundred years since I became a battleship captain. Time sure flies!"
As he thought about this, Song Chi also took stock of the current situation of the Heaven Ruin Skydome. After two hundred years, the ship's foundation was already quite solid. The Guidance Technique had also successfully advanced to level 59.
Additionally, he had sixth-rank peak Demon God Blood, a fifth-rank Time Boundary Fruit, and a drop of Sovereign Source Blood extracted from the corpse of the Chasing Life Immortal. As long as he obtained a high-grade spatial law crystal and found a couple of good hunting spots, perhaps he could really attempt to upgrade the Heaven Ruin Skydome to a dreadnought.
Moreover, there was something else he hadn't mentioned. According to the news from the Dragon Spine Continent, after more than two hundred years of unremitting efforts, the continent's diameter had approached one thousand light-years, and it was about to reach the peak of a sixth-level floating land. If they could further push it to the seventh level, the energy tide during the floating land's advancement would also increase the chances of a successful promotion.
