Chapter 600: The War Ancient Tree
Chapter 600: The War Ancient Tree
A seventh-rank Starry Sky plant, without exaggeration, was what Song Chi had been eagerly searching for over the past century or so.
What he desperately sought was the seventh-rank Starry Sky plant's tree heart, which was crucial for the sixth-rank Silver Apple Mother Tree to attempt a breakthrough to the seventh rank. Over the years, the multiple sixth-rank Starry Sky plant tree hearts he had acquired had already pushed the Silver Apple Mother Tree to the limits of the sixth rank. With just one seventh-rank Starry Sky plant tree heart, the Silver Apple Mother Tree would be able to attempt a breakthrough immediately.
As long as the breakthrough was successful, the Silver Apple Mother Tree would be able to continuously produce seventh-rank Silver Apples. With the remaining red components on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the seventh-rank Silver Apples were what Song Chi urgently needed.
Upon seeing Song Chi's keen interest, Song Shiyuan did not hide anything and quickly explained the situation.
A few minutes later, after fully understanding the situation, Song Chi fell into deep thought.
According to Song Shiyuan, this news came from a sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon. A thousand years ago, it had discovered a seventh-rank War Ancient Tree in one of the river systems within the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster.
As a type of Starry Sky plant, the War Ancient Tree was known for its high combat power and potential. It was said that the War Ancient Tree's strength could rival that of a starry sky giant beast of the same rank.
As for their potential, the endless Broken Star Sea had long been filled with legends of mythical War Ancient Trees.
However, the good news was that the sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon that had seen the War Ancient Tree a thousand years ago had just broken through to the seventh rank. Even though a thousand years had passed, for Starry Sky plants, it was merely the blink of an eye.
In other words, this War Ancient Tree was still in the initial stages of entering the seventh rank, which was undoubtedly good news for Song Chi.
"How about it, do you need a few of the family's fearless fleet commanders to accompany you on this trip?"
Seeing that Song Chi was hesitant to speak, Song Shiyuan took the initiative to ask.
However, Song Chi quickly shook his head, declining the suggestion.
"No need. The fleet is about to head towards the true Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization's territory. We can't afford to lose our peak combat power, and I can't leave my ship's main body. Let the Mirror Battleship go instead."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to say something more, but Song Chi spoke first:
"My Mirror Battleship is not weak. With the addition of a Tyrant Crab, I can summon my main body projection during critical moments. Plus, with a Void Market Projection Token, I believe it will be sufficient. There's no need for you to worry, Elder."
After saying this, Song Shiyuan naturally didn't insist further and directly informed Song Chi of the specific river system where the seventh-rank War Ancient Tree was located.
...
The Snake Mother River System, located on the edge of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster, was not in the southwest region adjacent to the Flame Human Five Disc River System Cluster, but rather on the southeast side.
This meant that it was a distance of three billion light-years from the Crimson Disc System, and even with the Mirror Battleship's "Crimson Sky Warp" ability, it still took over four years to reach its destination.
Of course, this was because the Mirror Battleship couldn't replicate the Time Chessboard component, which would have reduced the cooldown for universal colored mythical components, cutting the travel time by more than half.
Snake Mother River System, Central Star Domain.
As a river system not far from the Flame Human River System Cluster, the Snake Mother River System had long been engulfed in a massive war. However, the aggressors were not the Xianqin Divine Dynasty but the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, one of the Four Divine Dynasties.
Compared to the vast starry sky battlefield in the southern part of the river system, the central star domain was surprisingly calm.
On this day, an uninvited guest disrupted the tranquility of the central star domain.
After intense spatial fluctuations, a pitch-black Mirror Battleship burst out of the warp channel.
Inside the battleship, a divine mind voice sounded.
"Not bad. The most critical warp this time didn't encounter any accidents."
The reason for this sigh of relief was that during a previous warp, the "Crimson Sky Warp" had collided with a Star Sea Floating Land, and it was a Floating Land teeming with Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, causing quite a disturbance. It was only after a difficult struggle that they managed to escape.
After regaining his composure, the Mirror Battleship quickly flew towards a nearby low-level Floating Land.
This was the direction of a nearby low-level Floating Land. Having just arrived in the Snake Mother River System, Song Chi needed to obtain a star map.
Although he had received the coordinates of the seventh-rank War Ancient Tree from the original ancestor, he could have gone there directly.
However, the Snake Mother River System was completely unfamiliar to him, and it was also a river system currently embroiled in a large-scale war. Unless something unexpected happened, there would undoubtedly be the presence of eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons in this river system, and Song Chi had to be cautious.
With the permanent stealth effect of the Void Membrane
A few days later, a Level 3 Life Floating Land, the Mirror Battleship hovered silently outside.
In the battleship's control room, Song Chi carefully examined the star map he had recently obtained through his mental power.
According to this star map, he had located the position of the 7th-Rank War Ancient Tree.
"Located on the western side of the Snake Mother River System, more than 200,000 light-years away from the War Star Domain to the south, huh, not bad!"
After confirming the location of the War Ancient Tree, the Mirror Battleship remained stationary for a while, until the 'Crimson Sky Warp' ability cooled down again.
Western Snake Mother River System, Ancient Tree Star Domain.
As a starry sky plant that has grown in the Snake Mother River System for over a million years, it was impossible for the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon higher-ups to have never discovered the existence of this War Ancient Tree.
In fact, not only did the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization discover the War Ancient Tree tens of thousands of years ago, but they also named this star domain after it.
Both parties reached an agreement. The Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization allowed the War Ancient Tree to grow freely, and in return, the War Ancient Tree, without actively harming the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon people, provided a War Fruit every thousand years.
The War Fruit is the fruit nurtured by the War Ancient Tree. Although it cannot extend life or anything like that, it allows the user to control the Chaos Law, a top-tier Star Sea Law, which undoubtedly greatly increases its value.
It is worth noting that the Chaos Law, due to its uniqueness, is not listed among the universal laws of the Star Sea. Ordinary beings cannot comprehend this law on their own. It only exists within the Abyss Cluster or can be comprehended through special means like the War Fruit.
In summary, the Chaos Law is an extremely rare and powerful law in the Broken Star Sea. If ordinary beings could comprehend it, it would be no weaker than the two supreme laws of time and space.
Ancient Tree Star Domain, over a hundred light-years away from the 7th-Rank War Ancient Tree.
Inside the Mirror Battleship, the Mirrored Heaven's Eye radar was displaying a very clear long-range monitoring image.
In the center of this light screen was the 7th-Rank War Ancient Tree.
This War Ancient Tree was over 100,000 kilometers tall. It was rooted in the void of the starry sky, and its roots, filled with Chaos Law, constantly absorbed vast amounts of energy from the starry sky and the void to nourish its massive body.
The ancient tree was lush, occupying a large area of the starry sky. On its branches hung large fruits, which were the War Fruits it nurtured.
Song Chi paid no attention to these War Fruits.
For him now, no matter how powerful the Chaos Law was, it held no appeal.
After all, he had already comprehended three laws, and was a dual cultivator of time and space. What could the Chaos Law do?
After carefully observing for over ten minutes, Song Chi's eyes flickered with uncertainty, as if deep in thought.
"It can be basically confirmed that this War Ancient Tree is still in the early 7th-Rank!"
After silently noting this, Song Chi hesitated no longer. He controlled the Mirror Battleship to initiate a normal warp and headed straight for the War Ancient Tree.
In his eyes, as long as the War Ancient Tree remained in the early 7th-Rank, it was enough. The power of the Mirror Battleship was sufficient for a trial.
"High-intensity external energy is continuously affecting the battleship, and the 'Holy Light Shield' is currently being eroded!"
Indeed, as a starry sky plant imbued with the Chaos Law, even though the Heaven Ruin Skydome was still over a billion miles away after the secondary warp, the starry sky was already filled with frenzied chaotic power.
And this was just the beginning. The 7th-Rank War Ancient Tree immediately sensed the approach of the Mirror Battleship and quickly responded.
"The high-intensity external energy is rapidly increasing, and the erosion rate of the 'Holy Light Shield' has increased by 140%!"
Clearly, the previous concentration of chaotic power was normal, but now, with the appearance of the Mirror Battleship, the War Ancient Tree was releasing even more chaotic power.
Song Chi would not retreat because of this. The battleship's bow began to gather white light, and he started a trial main cannon attack.
After just two rounds, Song Chi voluntarily stopped.
"As expected, this method of slowly eroding it from a distance won't work. The War Ancient Tree has its own special War Domain, which can ignore attacks from outside the domain!"
After confirming this, he quickly activated the Escape Void Orb component, and the Mirror Battleship quickly entered the War Domain.
He was not surprised by this result.
After all, both the family's records and the Flame Civilization's archives mentioned this "War Domain." His previous attempt was merely a last-ditch effort. Seeing no other option, he directly controlled the Mirror Battleship to charge into the War Domain.
The moment the warship entered the War Domain, Song Chi instantly felt the oppressive force emanating from all directions.
Just like the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's Eight-Armed Serpent Prison Supreme Spell, the suppression of this War Domain on foreign invaders far exceeded that of the Serpent Prison.
As the Mirror Battleship entered the War Domain, countless roots filled with chaotic power suddenly shot out from the surrounding void.
Undoubtedly, the roots of this Seventh-Rank War Ancient Tree had already spread throughout every corner of this void.
These chaotic tree roots extended at the fastest speed, tightly encircling the Mirror Battleship, clearly intending to bind it.
However, this was the aspect Song Chi was most confident about. With the enhancement of the Golden Blood War Stele reaching the Eighth Rank, its permanent control immunity was not just talk.
Confirming that these chaotic tree roots extending from the void had no effect on the Mirror Battleship, Song Chi's thoughts raced, and he launched a full-force counterattack.
For starry sky plants, their greatest strength lies in their immense vitality. Therefore, Song Chi's first move targeted this aspect.
The 'Soul Annihilation Arrow' of the Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation Bow was activated immediately, along with the 'True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam' of the Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Turret.
Outside, after confirming that their binding had no effect on the Mirror Battleship, the chaotic tree roots extending from the void changed their strategy, switching from entanglement to striking.
Swish, swish, swish! With the flickering of eerie light, void cracks appeared one after another.
This also showed how terrifying the striking power of these chaotic tree roots was.
Due to the distance of several billion light-years, even with the high quality of the Divine Mind State, it was difficult for Song Chi to achieve perfect remote control. Therefore, he directly transferred the control of the warship to the replicated Heaven Vault Intelligence System.
Under the precise control of the Heaven Vault, the Mirror Battleship dodged numerous striking tree roots. Unfortunately, this War Ancient Tree had been growing here for over a hundred thousand years, and its roots had already covered the entire starry sky. The number of chaotic tree roots was simply overwhelming, making it impossible to dodge them most of the time.
In a short time, the Holy Light Shield shattered under the dual influence of chaotic power and chaotic tree roots. For the first time, the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield was exposed to the outer starry sky.
Fortunately, by this time, the Mirror Battleship's energy charging was complete. The Soul Annihilation Arrow and True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam erupted one after the other.
The annihilation arrows and quantum sword beams landed on the trunk of the Seventh-Rank War Ancient Tree, but the trunk was surrounded by a large amount of chaotic law and life force.
Although the annihilation arrows and quantum sword beams broke through the perfect layer of chaotic law defense, leaving not insignificant gaps in the ancient tree's trunk, they were quickly healed by the dense life energy.
Of course, it wasn't completely ineffective. At the very least, under the effect of the Soul Annihilation Arrow's life-annihilation, half of the life energy surrounding the War Ancient Tree was eliminated.
Unfortunately, the cooldown time of the 'Soul Annihilation Arrow' was not short. By the time it cooled down again, the War Ancient Tree would likely have fully recovered under the replenishment of its vast root system.
Thinking of this, Song Chi paused for a moment and quickly made a decision.
His thoughts turned, and he looked towards the Fifth-Rank Tribulation Star Tribe within the Mirror Battleship.
More precisely, he focused on the Void Market Projection Token in its hand.
As long as he could obtain the heart of this War Ancient Tree, in the future, the Silver Apple Mother Tree would have a high probability of continuously producing Seventh-Rank Silver Apples.
What did Seventh-Rank Silver Apples represent? They were legendary silver artifacts.
Based on this, Song Chi would not hesitate to offer a silver artifact. However, he didn't rush to take action but waited for the 'Soul Annihilation Arrow' of the Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation Bow to cool down again.
Once the trait was ready again, he reactivated it without hesitation.
But this time, it wasn't just one trait; he also activated the 'Blood Spear' and its 'Blood Judgment' and 'Hunter God Weakness Mark', as well as the 'Black Hole Singularity Explosion' of the 'Black Hole Evolution Layer', and other traits.
Song Chi's idea was simple. The life force of the Seventh-Rank War Ancient Tree was too strong, and the quasi-eighth-rank Multiverse Ruins Market Projection summoned by the Void Market Projection Token alone couldn't guarantee the complete elimination of the enemy.
For now, he would first wear down its massive life force, reducing the pressure on the subsequent Multiverse Ruins Market Projections and preventing further complications.
