Chapter 548: Golden Blood Battle Monument
Chapter 548: Golden Blood Battle Monument
If he wasn't mistaken, during that collision, the opponent had marked the Heaven Ruin Skydome with a special tracking seal.
This tracking seal was highly concealed, not only making it difficult for the Flame Torch Captain to detect with the naked eye, but even after entering the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the Anomaly Purifier component had not given any indication.
It was only because he possessed the Double Pupil ability that he was able to clearly capture the opponent's subtle action.
However, it wasn't just Shang Jie; at that moment, Song Chi had also marked the opponent's command ship with a Death Doom Tracking Seal. In the secret realm, it was uncertain who would be tracking whom.
Following closely behind Shang Jie's command ship, the Heaven Ruin Skydome also quickly entered the secret realm's entrance.
But just before the warship completely disappeared into the vortex channel, a subtle glow shot out from behind.
Amid the intense teleportation disorientation, Song Chi faintly heard the Skyward AI's prompt.
[Warning: The warship is bound by a special buff halo, initially judged to be a mixed buff halo that temporarily enhances defense and movement speed. Do you want to activate the Anomaly Purifier component to clear it?]
"Buff halo... So White Eyebrow also noticed Shang Jie's little trick..."
Muttering to himself, Song Chi rejected the Skyward AI's suggestion. Since it was a buff halo, there was no need to purify it.
Although he had great confidence in the Heaven Ruin Skydome's battle prowess, it didn't mean he would underestimate his opponent.
Shang Jie was undoubtedly a top-tier member of the Eternal Titan Clans, and it was rumored that he was the son of a Planet Destroyer elder from the Shang Clan. It was possible that he possessed some powerful ultimate artifacts, so Song Chi had to give him due respect.
After a while, the intense disorientation gradually dissipated, indicating that he had successfully entered the Blood Battle Abyss.
Scanning the surroundings, the Heaven Ruin Skydome was located in a desolate starry sky, with no other Flame Ships nearby.
Apparently, the entry into the Blood Battle Abyss was also random.
Song Chi, who was already aware of this, didn't mind. The warship's engine started, propelling the Heaven Ruin Skydome forward.
The Blood Battle Abyss was incredibly vast, with an internal space spanning tens of thousands of light-years. At this moment, he only needed to do one thing: quickly determine his location and then try to advance towards the core star domain of the secret realm.
Although the Blood Battle Abyss nurtured many Blood Battle Monuments, most of the high-quality ones were located in the core star domain. Song Chi's minimum goal was to obtain a silver-rank Blood Battle Monument, and if the opportunity arose, he would be even more eager for a golden one.
However, regardless of silver or gold, these high-level Blood Battle Monuments could only be obtained by venturing deep into the core star domain.
As he traveled, his gaze occasionally swept over the Death Doom Tracking Seal component.
"Not actively approaching the Heaven Ruin Skydome, is it because of the distance, or do they want to explore the secret realm first?"
The Death Doom Tracking Seal component showed that Shang Jie's command ship was not in a hurry to track him.
"Good, let's prioritize obtaining a high-quality Blood Battle Monument!"
...
Buzz! In the main control room of the warship, golden light flashed as the Heaven's Eye radar's "Spirit Peering Eye" feature was activated.
The next moment, multiple colorful dots appeared on the warship's radar map.
Among these dots, purple was the most common, followed by orange, and there were only two red ones.
Seeing no silver or golden-rank Blood Battle Monuments within the detection range, Song Chi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, he firmly controlled the Heaven Ruin Skydome and raced towards the center of the secret realm at an incredible speed.
Although it would take more time, he could easily obtain these orange and red Blood Battle Monuments. However, after exploring the secret realm for a century, quite a few silver Blood Battle Monuments had been taken by the three factions, and there were even some golden ones.
Even though the Blood Battle Abyss was a universe-level secret realm, it was still the lowest-ranked among the universe's secret realms. He didn't believe there would be too many silver or golden Blood Battle Monuments, or that it would take an extremely long time to nurture them. If he didn't seize the opportunity to obtain one or two now, he wouldn't feel at ease.
If he had to wait for the next batch of high-level Blood Battle Monuments to mature, he wouldn't have a chance. With the two top-tier advanced civilizations on the verge of all-out war, the Heaven Ruin Skydome must complete its promotion before the war officially begins. Once it is promoted to a dreadnought, it will no longer be able to enter the Blood Battle Abyss.
...
With the constant concealment of the Void Membrane and the additional concealment effect of the Mirage ability, coupled with the Crimson Horizon Warp Device, the Heaven Ruin Skydome could have directly warped into the core star domain of the Blood Battle Abyss.
However, the detection range of the "Spirit Peering Eye" feature was limited. After a slow and careful step-by-step detection process, Song Chi managed to complete this step after more than a month.
Fortunately, he had some good luck. Soon after entering the core star domain, he successfully discovered a silver Blood Battle Monument during a detection attempt.
Of course, it couldn't be confirmed yet if it was indeed a silver-rank Blood Battle Monument. Although there were no other Star Sea artifacts in the Blood Battle Abyss initially, after years of exploration by the three factions, there were bound to be other silver artifacts left behind by the deceased captains.
Mirage Dragon Transformation Orb - "Mirage" activated! In the starry sky, the concealed Heaven Ruin Skydome once again initiated a warp and reappeared far away, several light-years distant.
This was a relatively small floating continent, with a diameter of only about one billion kilometers. If it were in the outside world, it wouldn't even be considered a fourth-rank floating continent, but this was inside the Blood Battle Abyss.
According to the "Spiritual Detection" results of the Heaven's Eye, there were at least five sixth-rank entities on this floating continent.
Swoosh—
The warship's hatch opened, and the Flame Raging Giant, Six-star Ancient Demon, and 6th Rank Tribulation Star Clan members, currently the highest-ranked units on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, rushed out of the warship.
After moving away from the warship, they expanded at full speed under Song Chi's command, quickly regaining their full power as sixth-rank entities.
The pressure emitted by sixth-rank lifeforms was truly astonishing. The Blood Warriors on the floating continent ahead were immediately alerted.
In less than two minutes, eight sixth-rank lifeforms, each over 100,000 meters tall, had formally confronted each other.
The Blood Warriors' physique was similar to that of the Star Sea Giants, but their bodies were naturally covered with special blood-colored scale armor. This blood-colored armor perfectly covered their entire bodies, resembling a unique type of bio-skin battle armor. It provided unparalleled defense without hindering their movement, making the Blood Warriors seem born for combat, with combat power that was unparalleled among their peers.
It is rumored that a talented fleet commander from a force under the Holy Union had once enslaved a 6th Rank Eight-Armed Demon Serpent King through special means, and pitted it against a 6th Rank Blood Warrior in a one-on-one battle. In the end, the Eight-Armed Demon Serpent with royal bloodline only managed a narrow victory.
This alone is enough to demonstrate the terrifying individual combat power of the Blood Warriors.
What are the Eight-Armed Demon Serpents? They are a top-tier advanced civilization in the Star Sea, and over countless millennia, their formidable individual combat power has been renowned throughout the vast starry expanse. Not to mention, this was a royal-blooded Eight-Armed Demon Serpent.
...
However, Song Chi was not in a hurry, even though the Blood Warriors still held a numerical advantage.
At a certain moment, the Flame Raging Giant, the Six-Star Ancient Demon, and the 6th Rank Tribulation Star Clan had their energies raging wildly. Under the watchful eyes of the five 6th Rank Blood Warriors, their bodies, already in their prime forms, began to swell once more.
As their bodies expanded, the intensity of their energies also increased.
In the end, the 6th Rank Tribulation Star Clan expanded to 110,000 meters, the Flame Raging Giant to 120,000 meters, and the Six-Star Ancient Demon, the most exaggerated, reached a staggering 130,000 meters.
Similarly, their combat power increased by one, two, and three times respectively.
The increase in combat power might not seem significant, but this was a one to three times boost for 6th Rank lives, making the actual combat power increase extremely exaggerated.
But that wasn't all. As the five 6th Rank Blood Warriors charged towards the Flame Raging Giant trio, Song Chi activated the Lotus Time Realm feature.
With this, the time-slowing effect was multiplied several times, and with the 'Size at Will' ability enhancing the Flame Raging Giant trio, the Azure Sky also provided long-range fire support from the side. These five 6th Rank Blood Warriors, each with formidable individual combat power, were quickly subdued.
However, Song Chi did not kill them but instead used the 'Heaven Authority Control Ring' to enslave all five Blood Warriors.
The identity of the Blood Warriors was sensitive, and it wasn't appropriate to directly use them as enslaved creatures. However, the Azure Sky was about to initiate the warship promotion task, and using them to increase the success rate of the promotion later on would be excellent.
"I should take this opportunity to enslave more. Those Ancient Demons I had previously captured have all been handed over to the family, so both the Void Market Secret Realm and the Cultivation Secret Realm are now empty. It shouldn't be a problem to temporarily capture a few dozen."
As he confirmed this thought, Song Chi's hands did not stop moving. The Azure Sky quickly rushed into the not-so-large Floating Land ahead.
After several hours, the Azure Sky, having successfully scoured the Floating Land, departed and continued to race towards the core star domain of the secret realm.
In the warship's control room, Song Chi held a silver artifact in his hand—the silver 'Blood Battle Monument' that he had detected earlier.

Undoubtedly, the attributes of this 'Blood Battle Monument' component are extremely top-notch. Not only does it provide permanent control immunity, but it also boosts the firepower of the warship, enhances the combat power of friendly units, and improves their defense. Each of these abilities is highly sought-after, let alone when combined.
However, precisely because it is so exceptional, Song Chi was not satisfied with the silver legendary rank. He wanted to obtain a golden Sacred Domain rank 'Blood Battle Monument', but the difficulty was obviously very high.
According to the updated information in the Star Tower Task Window, there were only a few golden Sacred Domain rank 'Blood Battle Monuments' in the entire Blood Battle Secret Realm, and one of them had already been taken by the Shang Clan.
"No need to force it. I'll do my best!"
As he thought this, a sudden flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Strange, how did they suddenly teleport there? If I'm not mistaken, that's the edge of the secret realm!"
Through the Death Doom Tracking Seal, Song Chi saw Shang Jie's flagship abruptly appear at the edge of the secret realm. His eyes flashed, and his thoughts raced.
The next second, the Azure Sky abruptly changed course. His intuition told him that this was no ordinary occurrence.
...
Thousands of light-years away from the Azure Sky, the Shang Clan's temporary base in the Blood Battle Secret Realm.
A 13,000-meter-long battleship quietly departed from the large Floating Land fragment where the base was located.
If any member of the Shang Clan noticed, they would surely realize that this warship was Shang Jie's flagship.
In the warship's control room, Shang Jie controlled the flagship as it raced through space. His gaze occasionally swept over the silver tracking component on the side.
"I'll let you live a little longer. I have to complete the task my brother gave me first!"
As he spoke, he further increased the speed of the flagship.
Buzz! After a teleportation, Shang Jie continued to pilot the warship through the unfamiliar starry sky.
At one point, the racing battleship seemed to pass through a special transparent curtain, and its hull suddenly disappeared into the starry sky.
Inside the battleship, Shang Jie stared straight ahead. There, numerous astonishingly long coffins were floating in the starry sky.
Upon seeing this, Shang Jie's lips curled into a slight smile.
"If it weren't for my brother's accidental discovery, who would have thought that the Blood Warriors would place their clan graveyard in such a corner?"
Muttering to himself, Shang Jie's gaze quickly shifted to the radar display on the side.
When he saw the dazzling golden light it displayed, his excitement intensified.
This time, his target was the second golden 'Blood Battle Monument'.
The first one had already been taken by his brother, and this second one was something he was determined to obtain.
