Chapter 567: Eighth-Rank Components
Chapter 567: Eighth-Rank Components
With the promotion of the Golden Flame Seed, Song Chi's focus naturally turned to the eighth-rank components.
His gaze fell upon the golden, black, and colorful components on the warship.
Colorful: Time Chessboard
Black: Antimatter Evolution Engine, Black Hole Evolution Layer, Phantom Sea Projection Necropolis, Divine Mind Chapter
Golden: Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon, Fresh Blood Spear, Neutron Star Core Armor, Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield, Heaven's Eye, Lotus Meditation Seal, Celestial Balance Control Ring, Angelic Sovereign's Wing, Heaven Frost Crown, Blood War Monument, Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale, Heavenly Destiny Compass
These 17 components were all that he paid attention to.
Among them, the Black Hole Evolution Layer and Angelic Sovereign's Wing were directly excluded, as they had already been enhanced to level 80 by the Ancestor. For this, Song Chi and Song Yan each provided 20 portions of Dominion True Spirit to the Ancestor.
Currently, the Dominion True Spirit in Song Chi's possession was not abundant, with only 72 portions remaining.
After careful calculation, it was just enough to enhance 7 components to the eighth rank, including the Celestial Balance Control Ring, which had already reached level 79, for a maximum of 8 components.
With 15 components to choose from but only being able to enhance 8, careful consideration was necessary.
The first component to be determined was the Antimatter Evolution Engine.
Enhancing multiple components to the eighth rank required sufficient power supply.
10 portions of Dominion True Spirit, dozens of strands of seventh-rank Floating Land Essence, 1 strand of eighth-rank Floating Land Essence, and several Titanium Crystals were used to successfully enhance the Antimatter Evolution Engine to level 80.
Several traits underwent significant changes.
Power supply efficiency increased from 320% to 350%
Engine thrust increased from 320% to 350%
Power consumption of all components on the warship, equal to or lower in quality than this component, decreased by 60% to 65%
Power supply efficiency increased from 14w/s to 17.5w/s
Lastly, its Shadow Energy Pool, which was 10 million at level 70, directly rose to 15 million.
Additionally, after reaching level 80, further enhancement would require 10 portions of seventh-rank Dominion True Spirit, unless it was an eighth-rank Dominion True Spirit, in which case only 1 portion would be needed. Song Chi couldn't help but shake his head at this.
After the engine, the second component to be enhanced was the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale. With its enhancement to the eighth rank, the various remote search and positioning methods of the Shang family would no longer be a concern.
Subsequently, he enhanced four more components: Time Chessboard, Blood War Monument, Fresh Blood Spear, and Lotus Meditation Seal.
Time Chessboard lv80
Quality: Colorful/Upper-tier
Trait: Cooldown reduction of all components on the warship by 75%
Trait 2: Time Resistance +25000
...
Trait 7: Efficiency of understanding the Law of Time within the warship increased by 470%
Trait 8: Nine Lives Life and Death Chess
...
Additionally, the duration and time acceleration of the "Time Chessboard" trait have been improved. With a minimum of 36 time chess pieces, the acceleration has reached 50 times, 72 pieces for 100 times, and so on. The duration has been increased to 50 minutes, and the cooldown time has been reduced to 120 hours.
The "Time Chessboard" trait's cooldown time has been reduced to 60 years, and its duration has been increased to three and a half hours.
The Blood War Monument component further enhances its immunity to control effects.
As for the Fresh Blood Spear, after being enhanced to the eighth rank, the damage of this golden super main cannon becomes even more terrifying.
Finally, the Lotus Meditation Seal component, after reaching the eighth rank, the "Lotus Time Realm" time domain trait has a cooldown of only 2 years.
Song Chi looked at the Dominion True Spirit in his hand, with 12 portions remaining, and the eighth-rank Floating Land Essence and Titanium Crystals were also running low.
At this point, he could only enhance one last component, and Song Chi was torn between enhancing the Neutron Star Core Armor, Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield, or Heaven's Eye.
In the end, he chose the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield.
The Black Hole Evolution Layer, previously enhanced by the Ancestor, temporarily replaced the enhancement of the warship's armor. As a captain who values stability above all else, Song Chi naturally preferred to enhance the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield.
Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield lv80
Quality: Golden
Trait: Yin-Yang Damage Reduction
Trait 2: True Shield
Trait 3: Energy Shield value increased by an extra 320%
Trait 4: Shield protection value increased by an extra 320%
Trait 5: Yin-Yang Synergy
Consumption: 5200/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Protection: 525 billion
Shield Value: 110 trillion/110 trillion
Charge: 10s; Overload recovery: 30 minutes
...
{Yin-Yang Damage Reduction: The Energy Shield possesses Yin-Yang balance, automatically weakening external energy attacks by 70%.
{True Shield: The Energy Shield possesses the True Defense attribute, ignoring ordinary shield-breaking and armor-piercing effects, and to some extent, reducing the power of True Shield-breaking and True Armor-piercing damage.}
{Yin-Yang Synergy: The Energy Shield is affected by the balanced attributes of Yin and Yang. When the shield's value is damaged, it will autonomously recover, regenerating 2% of the shield's value every second.}
Looking at the level 80-enhanced {Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield} component, Song Chi was very satisfied. Aside from its already impressive 70% damage reduction, the last trait, "Yin-Yang Synergy," was also exceptional.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly small 2% recovery rate. The key is that it recovers 2% every second. Taking the current level 80 {Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield}'s shield value into account, it can recover 22 trillion points of shield value per second.
To put this into perspective, let's compare it to the level 70 {Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation Bow}, a silver super cannon.
Its current attack power is 120.5 billion. Even with the powerful "Soul Annihilation Arrow" trait activated, the maximum damage it can deal in a single attack is slightly over 10 trillion. Factoring in the 70% damage reduction from "Yin-Yang Damage Reduction" and the defense boost from the True Shield, the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield can recover within a few seconds.
This calculation doesn't even include the recovery effect of the {Neutron Star Core Armor}'s "Neutron Star Pulse" trait.
From this perspective, the eighth-rank Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield's defensive capabilities are evident.
After enhancing the six components, Song Chi was left with only two Sovereign True Spirits and three strands of eighth-rank Floating Continent Essence.
After some thought, Song Chi decided to use one Sovereign True Spirit and one strand of eighth-rank Floating Continent Essence to enhance the {Celestial Balance Control Ring} to level 80.
With this, most of the resources he had accumulated were exhausted.
However, he didn't regret it. This round of enhancements significantly boosted the combat power of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, even giving rise to a sudden impulse to face a Sovereign lifeform.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in his mind, possibly an illusion brought about by the warship's enhancement.
The true test would come in the subsequent real battles.
...
At the Dragon Backbone Divine Mountain,
Within the Dragon Whale Hall surrounded by Chaos Fog, multiple figures gathered.
Among them were Song Wujiang, Song Yan, and Song Chi, standing in the center of the hall, along with the projected figures of Song Shiyuan, Song Shixing, and Song Xingru.
"Great Ancestor, has something major happened in the clan again?"
The last time the Dragon Whale Hall was used to summon the core members of the clan wasn't long ago, and now, with another quick summons, Song Xingru instinctively felt that something might have happened on the Dragon Spine Continent.
However, Song Wujiang gently shook his head.
"It is indeed a significant matter, but it's not a crisis for the family. I want to seek your opinions on something."
"What?"
"Do you all still remember the Ancient Matriarch's nest that Chi mentioned before?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
They all had a deep impression of this matter, as the {Starlight Dragon Shark} was enslaved in that star domain.
"Does the Ancestor mean to deal with that Sovereign-grade Ancient Matriarch?"
Song Shiyuan, who had successfully installed the golden {Red Sun Flame Energy Shield} component and was currently stationed at the Yao Han Floating Land, roughly guessed Song Wujiang's intention.
"That's right. The {Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring} has been promoted to a Star Destroyer, and it has ascended to a golden flame seed. With Yan and Chi, including you three with silver flame seeds, the entire family is in dire need of Sovereign True Spirits. If we can deal with that bug nest, it will greatly alleviate this problem."
At this point, the hall fell silent as the group carefully considered the feasibility of this plan.
It was a fact that the family desperately needed Sovereign True Spirits, but that Ancient Matriarch's nest was no ordinary place, so they needed to consider it carefully.
After a few minutes, Song Shixing spoke up.
"Chi, Yan, what are your thoughts on the combat capabilities of your warships?"
Below the hall, standing beside the Ancestor, the two glanced at each other, and the next second, Song Yan replied first:
"Great Ancestor, I am confident in holding off a Sovereign-grade Kingbug."
Following Song Yan, Song Chi gave the same answer.
"Great Ancestor, I am as well!"
Hearing their assurances, the initially hesitant Song Shiyuan's eyes lit up.
That Sovereign-grade Ancient Matriarch had four Sovereign-grade Kingbugs guarding her. If Song Chi and Song Yan could each hold off one, along with the Starlight Dragon Shark and the three of them, it would be enough for Song Wujiang to deal with the Ancient Matriarch without worry.
As everyone's gaze turned towards him, Song Wujiang hesitated for a moment before giving a firm answer.
"The Dinghai Longxiang has already advanced to the Golden Flame Body, and several of its components have been enhanced to the Eighth Rank. With the newly installed Black Star Annihilation Cannon, dealing with a Bug Matriarch of the same rank shouldn't be difficult!"
With this statement, the outcome was already apparent.
"Since that's the case, and with Song Chi's ability to summon the Sovereign Projection at any time, we can certainly give it a try!"
During the discussion, the action plan was finalized.
In simple terms, one month later, they would officially set off for the star domain of the ancient Bug Matriarch's lair.
During this period, several Unyielding Ship Captains of the Song family who were away returned, and with the convenience of spatial wormholes, the journey was ten to a hundred times faster.
As for Song Chi, he once again left behind a Void Market Projection Token in both Long Shark City and the Dragon Spine Continent to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
On this day, the Heaven Ruin Skydome hovered alone in the sky above the Dragon Spine Continent.
A buzzing sound filled the air as spatial fluctuations rippled through the area, and the 160,000-meter-long Heaven Ruin Skydome vanished into thin air.
In the exoplanetary domain, outside the Floating Land where the Starlight Dragon Shark had been enslaved, a gigantic warship emerged from a spatial vortex.
In the main control room of the warship, after confirming that there were no dangers in the surrounding starry sky, Song Chi tossed a Dimensional Space Stone to the Abyssal Devil behind him.
Under his command, the Sixth Rank Abyssal Devil flew out of the warship, and the chaotic energy within its body surged, quickly releasing Song Wujiang and the other four from the Dimensional Space Stone.
Soon, six colossal warships, each with a minimum length of 120,000 meters, hovered in parallel.
Dinghai Longxiang Magnetic Wave Group Chat:
Song Wujiang: "Chi, can you pinpoint the location of the Bug Matriarch?"
Song Chi: "Yes, but it seems like she has relocated her hive!"
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's gaze was fixed on the Death Decree Tracking Seal component, which displayed a special tracking coordinate at this moment.
A special coordinate located over ten thousand light-years away from the current position of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
This tracking coordinate originated from the 'Death Decree' that was branded on the Sawtooth Bug, serving as a cross-star sea tracking mark. Once the 'Death Decree' was activated, it could track the target's position across star seas, and its duration could last for several hundred years.
Even though the ancient Bug Matriarch had relocated her hive over ten thousand light-years away, the Heaven Ruin Skydome easily tracked her down.
With the detailed coordinates in hand, the next step for the Song family members was to reach the location stealthily, but this seemed to be a challenging task.
The Heaven Ruin Skydome had no issues, but not all of the ancestors' ships were equipped with powerful stealth components like the Illusory Dragon Transformation Orb. Unless Song Chi used the same method to transport everyone there again, it would be difficult to discreetly release them from the Dimensional Space Stone.
The ancient Bug Matriarch was renowned in the star sea for her incredibly powerful mental strength, which allowed her to remotely control a vast number of Bug Guards simultaneously.
At this moment, Song Shiyuan sent a screenshot of an attribute in the group chat:
"Group Concealment River.jpg"
Group Concealment River lv70
Quality: Silver
Attribute: Group Concealment
Attribute 2: Enhances all stealth effects of bound warships by 250%
...
After scanning through the attribute screenshot, Song Chi instantly recalled this component.
It was a group stealth component, and its 'Group Concealment' attribute could bind a thousand warships simultaneously, placing them all in a highly stealthy state. It had been used during the expansion war against the Doom Star Tribe.
Five silver lights shot out from the Immovable Bodhimanda and precisely entered the other five Song family warships. Soon after, all five of them heard the prompt from the ship's AI:
[Please note, the warship has received a special binding request. Do you accept?]
[After binding, the warship will temporarily enter stealth mode with no other negative effects.]
Two seconds later, all six warships entered stealth mode and vanished into the void, followed by the sequential activation of their warp drives.
Several days later, the six warships came to a halt outside a Level Six Floating Land, over ten thousand light-years away.
In the warship group chat, a projection screen silently played a video.
The footage showed countless bugs on the Level Six Floating Land, devouring everything in their path.
"As expected of the notorious species, they're consuming all energy-containing substances on the Floating Land, completely destroying this Level Six Floating Land!"
