Chapter 590: Rout
Chapter 590: Rout
"Even with the enhancement to the eighth-rank Bodhimanda Timely Domain, it's still not enough to tear through the double-layered Armored Serpent Prison?
This is a bit far-fetched!
Could it be that these two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons have something special about them?
Indeed, their ability to control the ultimate bloodline technique, the Armored Serpent Prison, already indicates that their bloodline is extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary Eight-Armed Serpent Demons."
As he realized that the Bodhimanda Timely Domain was being suppressed by the double-layered prison, countless thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind.
In the end, he was almost certain that the identities of the two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons before him were not ordinary.
With this realization, he felt no panic but instead, a heightened interest.
The combat power of the Heaven Ruin Skydome at this moment was enough to challenge even sovereign beings, and it could easily overpower creatures of the same rank. This made the battle less exciting, but these two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, with their obviously superior strength, were perfect for testing the current might of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Without withdrawing the Bodhimanda Timely Domain, Song Chi's thoughts shifted, and he activated another component on the warship.
Buzz!
Threads of black and white energy continuously emanated from the Heaven Ruin Skydome, and before the two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons could make another move, this energy quickly condensed into thirty-six black and white chess pieces above the double-layered prison.
These chess pieces were surrounded by extremely dense temporal law power, and as they fully condensed, the profound law power rapidly converged into a chain of laws, infinitely extending to connect all thirty-six pieces.
At this point, the starry chessboard formed by the thirty-six black and white chess pieces finally appeared.
The moment the temporal chessboard was constructed, infinite temporal power enveloped the double-layered prison below.
The double-layered prison, which had previously been unable to break free from the Bodhimanda Timely Domain, began to rapidly expand.
Crack! Crackle!
The sound of shattering from the domain barrier was clear, and just before the double-layered prison completely collapsed, the two Eight-Armed Serpent Demons reacted.
A large amount of blood energy rapidly evaporated around them, and finally, a terrifying eight-armed shadow over tens of thousands of meters tall condensed above each of their heads.
This was another inherited technique of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon clan—the Snake Magic Manifestation.
In an instant, the aura emanating from the two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons surged tenfold.
This also proved that Song Chi's previous guess was correct.
When ordinary Eight-Armed Serpent Demons used this Snake Magic Manifestation technique, their combat power increased by at most 3 to 5 times, but these two demons had increased their power tenfold, clearly indicating the exceptional nature of their bloodline.
As the two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons unleashed their power, the might of the Armored Serpent Prison naturally increased correspondingly.
However, to their surprise, even with this boost, the collapse of the double-layered prison did not stop; it merely delayed the destruction for a short while.
In the end, the double-layered prison was still torn apart from within by the hanging temporal chessboard above.
The Temporal Chessboard was a Colored Mythical Grade component, and as one of its characteristics, the 'Time Chessboard' had a power that far exceeded imagination. Even the simplest configuration of thirty-six chess pieces formed a 'Time Chessboard' with might surpassing that of the Bodhimanda Timely Domain.
Buzz!
Song Chi was not surprised, as the master of the Temporal Chessboard, no one understood this component better than him.
Therefore, when it tore through the double-layered prison, he was prepared and took advantage of the Mythical Machine Armor Giant, which had regained its freedom from the multiple restrictions, to charge towards the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon in front of him.
The Demise Immortal Spear, infused with spatial law power, aimed directly at the vertical pupil of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon. If it pierced the demon's eye socket, it would instantly shatter its skull.
However, this Eight-Armed Serpent Demon with an extraordinary bloodline was not as easy to deal with as the previous two. The spear, thrust with full force, managed to penetrate the thick layer of crimson vapor on its body's surface, but it couldn't advance any further due to the demon's mastery of the Earth Law.
Song Chi remained calm, his double pupils revealing the surging Light Law.
Under the human-machine symbiosis of the Mythical Machine Armor form, starlight descended from the void's fissure above the Mythical Machine Armor Giant's head.
The expanding space fissure released the projection of the Death Star, which hung above the Mythical Machine Armor Giant.
Bathed in the light of the Death Star, the energy on the Mythical Machine Armor Giant surged, while the crimson vapor surrounding the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon was gradually eroded by the falling starlight.
The Antimatter Power Evolution Engine's 'Overload Burst' was activated!
With the engine's propulsion system beneath the Mythical Machine Armor Giant's legs suddenly overloading, the powerful thrust propelled the giant machine forward.
Combined with the empowerment of the Death Star, the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's Earth Law, used to block the spear, finally gave way.
Whoosh!
The Demise Immortal Spear, no longer hindered, pierced another vertical pupil of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon. Before it could roar, the spatial law power within its skull completely extinguished its life.
With the death of the third sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, the last remaining demon finally felt intense fear, losing the courage and confidence to continue fighting against the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Its body suddenly turned, and with the enhancement of the Snake Magic Manifestation, it fled towards the Celestial Serpent Mother Ship.
However, Song Chi was not willing to let it go so easily. The previous strike, which killed the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, had increased the progress of the Soul Devouring Altar by 2%.
This was far beyond the capabilities of the other sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons.
It was evident that these two sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, with their obviously superior origins, had soul strength far surpassing their peers.
Just as the Heaven Ruin Skydome was about to catch up with the fleeing demon, a towering figure suddenly burst out from a large Celestial Serpent Mother Ship in the distance.
A golden light flashed across the figure, which was tens of thousands of kilometers tall, and in the next second, it had crossed millions of kilometers to reach the battlefield of the Song Clan's fleet.
To be precise, this seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign had positioned itself directly in front of the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon being pursued by Song Chi.
The majestic figure exuded a law field unique to seventh-rank beings, and under this field, the pressure on the Heaven Ruin Skydome was indescribable.
In just a few seconds after the demon appeared, the dual-layer energy shield on the surface of the Heaven Ruin Skydome had already collapsed, and the remaining Yin-Yang Annihilation Shield was rapidly fading.
After enhancing it to the eighth rank, the "Yin-Yang Harmony" ability of the component itself can continuously self-repair, and with the "Neutron Star Pulse" of the Neutron Star Core Armor, the Yin-Yang annihilation shield remains sturdy.
However, the previously formidable "Time Chessboard" domain was completely overwhelmed by the rule force field surrounding the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, unable to significantly affect it.
Song Chi understood that this was due to the insufficient number of time pieces used when constructing the "Time Chessboard," resulting in a domain power that was inadequate to counter a true Sovereign lifeform.
Moreover, this Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign was not an ordinary Sovereign. With its fifth-tier genetic bloodline power, it often possessed the highest combat strength among its peers.
Just as Song Chi was contemplating whether to use his trump card for self-preservation, a violent spatial fluctuation emerged from the rear of the Song Clan fleet. Soon, the Mythical Machine Armor Giant, formed by the Heaven Ruin Skydome, precisely flashed and dodged, and a Star Annihilator, along with an Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign, confronted each other head-on.
This minor change was like the fuse that ignited the peak showdown between the two sides.
As the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign soared in perfect harmony, they relocated the battlefield to a distant starry sky billions of miles away. The two great kingdoms and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon fleet responded, and the seven seventh-rank lifeforms on both sides took action.
In an instant, seven Star Annihilators and seven Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereigns soared into the sky, opening up seven Sovereign battlefields in the distant starry sky.
In addition to the fourteen seventh-rank lifeforms taking action, the main fleets of various forces, which had been silent in the rear, also joined the battle, providing support to the six battlefields outside the Civilization Great Wall.
At this moment, the battle reached its most intense phase.
While observing the battlefield where the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring was located, Song Chi did not let the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon off the hook.
Soul Annihilation Arrow
Tranquil Seal: External Temporal Stasis
Black Hole Collapse
Under the simultaneous effects of multiple components, Song Chi successfully killed the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon with its impressive bloodline.
As expected, this Eight-Armed Serpent Demon also contributed 2% to the Soul Devouring Altar's cumulative progress.
After killing this Eight-Armed Serpent Demon, the Soul Devouring Altar's cumulative progress had reached 90% in the first stage.
Not only Song Chi, but also the Song Clan fleet battlefield, as the second batch of fleets from the two great kingdoms joined the battle, the situation in multiple battlefields began to tilt in favor of the Flamefire Human Fleet.
Sensing the unfavorable turn of events, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon fleet quickly responded.
Ten large Celestial Serpent Mother Ships emerged from the nearby space wormhole tunnel, and a majestic figure flew out from one of them.
The moment this majestic figure was captured, most of the civilian captains from the two great kingdoms of the Tianpan Galaxy felt their hearts tighten, and their expressions revealed extreme panic.
"How is this possible? Seven Serpent Demon Sovereigns have already appeared, and even two Inspectorate Majesties from our side have joined the battle. How can they still have Sovereign-level power?"
"Damn it! A single Sovereign's power can influence the entire battle's outcome!"
Compared to these limited-sighted civilian captains, the direct-line captains from families, corporations, and clans appeared much calmer.
They were well aware that the Glory Han Liu Clan still had a Silver Scaled Chi Dragon.
At that moment, the cabin door of a certain Ultimate Fearless Ship from the Glory Han Liu Clan fleet suddenly opened, and the next second, a miniature silver dragon emerged.
As its size rapidly expanded, this Sovereign-level Silver Scaled Chi Dragon swiftly flew towards the newly appeared Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign in the distance.
Thus, the eighth Sovereign battlefield was quickly established.
Under these circumstances, the advantage of the Flamefire Human Fleet was no longer reversible.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar reverberated from one of the Sovereign battlefields, leaving both sides' lower-level personnel in confusion.
A thunderous howl echoed through the starry sky.
"All Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Warriors, retreat!"
Compared to the command issued by the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereign, the captains from the two great kingdoms of the Tianpan Galaxy were visibly more excited.
Because the voice they had just heard only said two words.
"Pursue!"
This alone indicated that the final outcome of the Sovereign battlefield was undoubtedly in their favor.
Thus, the hundreds of millions of ordinary Celestial Serpent Warships, which had previously surged forward aggressively, now fled in disarray. Their previous ferocity in defense turned into a desperate retreat.
Under the pursuit of over two hundred million Flamefire Human Fleet warships, countless ordinary Celestial Serpent Warships were sunk at every moment.
After a long while, the area near the space wormhole entrance in the distant starry sky was left with a staggering number of warship remnants. Among them were Flame Warships, as well as ordinary starships from the Flamefire Human Fleet, but most were remnants of ordinary Celestial Serpent Warships, including several small Celestial Serpent Mother Ships and even a large Celestial Serpent Mother Ship.
Song Clan High Command Group Chat
Song Wujiang's voice soon echoed:
"Alright, after discussions among several Star Annihilator captains from the two kingdoms, we will first clear the battlefield and officially advance towards the Crimson Basin System in half a month."
Upon hearing this, a low inquiry came from a Battleship Elder Ancestor from the Philip Clan in the group chat:
"Your Majesty, the Sea Tamer, is there a conclusion on the specific advancement plan for half a month later? Has the vanguard fleet been decided?"
This question immediately captured the attention of many Star Annihilator captains in the group chat, indicating their keen interest.
"It hasn't been fully decided yet, but the number of fleets dispatched by both sides has been determined."
"The Morningstar Kingdom needs to dispatch a vanguard fleet of twenty million, while the Glory Han Kingdom will send fifty million."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the group chat became quite heavy.
Twenty million for the vanguard fleet was not a small number. It was worth noting that the total fleet dispatched by the Morningstar Kingdom this time barely exceeded fifty million, and after the previous battle, this number had dropped to less than fifty million.
In other words, nearly half of their personnel would be part of the vanguard fleet in half a month.
The only consolation for them might be that the vanguard fleet was further divided into two groups: the front group, which was more like a sacrificial assault force, and the rear group, which was responsible for consolidating the territory captured by the front group and creating a stable environment for the main force to establish a defensive line.
As an affiliated force of the Song Clan, they were likely to be part of the rear group, while the joint fleet of the Golden Horn Lu Clan and the Dusk Family would mainly constitute the front group.
