Chapter 601: Seventh Rank Silver Apple Mother Tree
Chapter 601: Seventh Rank Silver Apple Mother Tree
The response chosen by the Celestial Mind was indeed a perfect one, with its multi-attribute effect. With just a single "Blood Judgment," triggering the "Hunter God's Weakness Mark," it dealt unimaginable damage to the ancient tree ahead.
Not only was all the outer layer's life energy completely depleted, but a gaping hole of astonishing diameter was also pierced through the ancient tree's towering trunk.
Hummm! The ancient tree's branches and leaves shook violently, causing the entire starry sky to tremble. An indescribable, eerie roar echoed through every corner of the cosmos.
The next moment, the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree in front of them acted again. Chaos laws gathered on the ancient tree's trunk, and in an instant, a gigantic illusory cross seal formed at the tip of its branches.
"War Judgment!"
Song Chi instantly recognized this cross seal and understood the power of the spell the War Ancient Tree was casting.
Its effect was similar to the "Time Chessboard's" "Time-Space Chessboard" attribute, capable of subjecting a designated target to an unavoidable chaotic judgment. Once the judgment was successful, the target would be weakened by a whole major rank, just like a being pulled into the high-dimensional space of the "Time-Space Chessboard."
However, this spell, triggered by the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree in its frenzied state, was about to face its greatest challenge.
Buzz!
Before they could see the person, they heard a sharp sword's cry.
A gigantic phantom vengeful sword shot out from the distance, accompanied by a sharp sword cry.
This phantom sword was infused with the laws of space and light, and its speed was indescribable. It pierced through the cross judgment seal that the War Ancient Tree had summoned.
Immediately after, the judgment seal, filled with chaotic laws, shattered. Only then did the purple mist projection above the distant black mirror battleship appear, belatedly realizing what had happened.
It was clear that within the purple mist projection, there was an endless sword aura, none other than the "Flying Sword Form" secret technique from the "Slaughter Sword Secret Technique Monument" that Song Luo Alliance Fleet had obtained on the Red Star Continent.
But that wasn't all. After shattering the War Judgment Seal, the nearly eighth-rank Multiverse Ruins Market Projection, controlled by Song Chi himself, took action once more.
Phantom sword lights raced forward, but this time, it wasn't the "Slaughter Sword Chant" but the "Sword Light Division."
The sword lights split into nine, and these nine law sword lights effortlessly pierced through the trunk of the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree.
After this attack, the vitality of the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree was severely weakened.
A starry sky plant that had grown for over ten millennia was easily devastated, but to Song Chi, this was only to be expected.
The one who had attacked was the Ruins Market Projection, an existence whose position was undoubtedly above ordinary myths. Even though the projection's strength was always half a rank weaker than its normal combat power, it still possessed solid eighth-rank strength, which a Seventh Rank starry sky plant couldn't match.
As Song Chi prepared to finish off his opponent, the War Ancient Tree's next action shocked him.
Chaos energy and laws began to intertwine around them. At first, it didn't seem like much, but when their concentration exceeded a certain limit, Song Chi's vision, which had descended through the Ruins Market Projection, suddenly turned to the surroundings.
He saw layers upon layers of chaotic laws and energy overlapping in all four directions, sealing off the passages in and out of the War Domain. Simultaneously, the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree at the domain's center, though its life force had dimmed to the extreme, had also gathered a substantial amount of chaotic laws.
"Something's wrong. The domain is sealed off, and the chaotic energy is highly active. This War Ancient Tree is preparing to self-destruct!"
The thought had barely formed in Song Chi's mind when he reacted. First, he connected his will to the interior of the mirror battleship, prompting the Celestial Mind to activate the "Lotus Tranquil Seal."
He wanted to use "Tranquil Seal: External Temporal Stasis" to control the War Ancient Tree for a second or two, while his purple mist energy continued to surge toward the War Ancient Tree, aiming to take advantage of this opportunity to finish it off.
However, the restrictions of the War Domain were still in place, affecting even the nearly eighth-rank Ruins Market Projection, albeit not as severely. Moreover, the ability activated by the mirror battleship itself had nothing to do with the Ruins Market Projection.
In the end, the Celestial Mind's reaction was the fastest. It calculated that its speed might not be enough to interrupt the War Ancient Tree, so it also activated a projection emperor stone on the mirror battleship while activating the "Concentration Seal·Inner Speed" effect.
As a result, within the coverage of the Multiverse Ruins Market Projection above the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome's main battleship quickly materialized.
Since their minds were already connected, there was no need to waste time. The moment the projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome's main battleship formed, Song Chi activated the "Time Chessboard" component of the battleship projection.
More specifically, he activated the "Time Cage" attribute of the "Time Chessboard" component.
This activation of the golden attribute's effect was far faster than the "Tranquil Seal: External Temporal Stasis" of the "Lotus Tranquil Seal."
After all, the effect of the golden component was still greatly limited by the War Domain itself, while the effect of the mythic component was not.
Almost immediately after the projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome appeared, the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree, which had been attempting to self-destruct, was directly sealed by the power of time and vanished from the starry sky.
As for its specific destination, it was naturally sealed away in a high-dimensional, time-locked space.
Taking advantage of this moment, Song Chi ordered the virtual sea projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome to advance, or rather, to approach the area where the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree had been using the "Neutron Star Fission" attribute. Then, he activated the "High-Energy Particle Storm" attribute.
The motive behind all these actions was simple: to stop the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree's self-destruction.
Only by doing so could they ensure that the War Ancient Tree left behind its heart, making Song Chi's previous efforts worthwhile.
After completing all the preparations, Song Chi voluntarily canceled the "Time Cage" effect, and the self-destructing Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree reappeared in the starry sky.
However, at this moment, although the War Ancient Tree was still in the final stage of self-destruction, its entire body was enveloped in an endless high-energy particle stream. In this raging storm of high-energy particles, the War Ancient Tree, which had only a thread of life energy left, was completely eroded by the high-energy particle storm.
At the moment the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree self-destructed, the explosion it triggered naturally dissipated, and so did the war domain.
Before the mirror battleship could approach at full speed, the virtual sea projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome had already made its next move.
The ship projection, which originally had no physical form, somehow slowly transformed into a tangible state.
After the reality-virtual conversion, Song Chi personally took action and, with the utmost speed, dug out the War Ancient Tree's heart from the ancient tree. Additionally, he retrieved the Seventh Rank Life Crystal from within its trunk, a resource that all plants cultivate, capable of accelerating the growth of various plants and increasing their survival rates.
Apart from these two, there were also twelve War Fruits that he had unexpectedly harvested. These were all the fruits left behind by the War Ancient Tree over the past hundreds of thousands of years, and Song Chi collected them all.
Song Chi intended to keep these twelve War Fruits as a special resource in his possession or even sell them as a unique commodity in the ruins market. Either way, they were rare resources that could allow creatures to directly comprehend the Chaos Law, and he might just find a knowledgeable buyer.
Finally, Song Chi didn't even spare the War Ancient Tree's trunk. He used the Super-Body Contraction Card to significantly shrink it and had the now-tangible projection of the Heaven Ruin Skydome bring it back to the family fleet.
Although the War Ancient Tree's trunk had lost its heart and life crystal, and its value had diminished greatly, it was still a Seventh Rank Starry Sky plant of astonishing size. Over hundreds of thousands of years, it had absorbed an immense amount of energy, and even as a corpse, its trunk still retained a considerable amount of energy.
Song Chi's plan was to first extract the Sovereign True Spirit from it and then send it to the cultivation realm in his main body. The cultivation realm was home to numerous rare plants, and the War Ancient Tree's trunk could enhance the energy concentration and fertility of the realm, sufficiently increasing the growth rate of the various plants within.
As for the "Sovereign Source Blood," this was something that starry sky plants couldn't refine. It was exclusive to flesh-and-blood beings, just as flesh-and-blood beings couldn't produce starry sky plant hearts.
After completing these tasks, the miniature Flame Tyrant Titan suddenly rushed out from the main body cabin of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, which was far away in the Song family fleet.
Song Chi was about to activate the Divine Thought Chapter bound to it and recall the mirror battleship, but he ultimately stopped this action.
The fleets of the two kingdoms in the Heavenly Plate River System were still en route, and rather than recalling the mirror battleship and wasting time with the main force, it was better to let it act independently in the Serpent Eye Continent.
Regarding the Heavenly Plate River System, it was previously nominally part of the Five Disc Galaxy Cluster, but the truth was different. The reason it was called the Five Disc Galaxy Cluster was that, in the past, there were only five river systems under the control of the Flame Civilization. However, the actual number of river systems gathered together was six, and it would be most accurate to call it the Six Disc Galaxy Cluster.
As for which six, it's believed that no further explanation is needed. It's the Six Disc Galaxy Cluster, including the Crimson Basin System newly occupied by the two kingdoms.
The Crimson Basin System originally belonged to the Flame Civilization's river system cluster, but it had become a stronghold of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization. Now that the Crimson Basin System has been reclaimed, the two kingdoms' fleets are heading towards the true Eight-Armed Serpent Demon territory.
The true Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster had a vast void belt of starry sky separating it from the Flame Civilization's river system cluster. This included the border between the Six Disc Galaxy Cluster and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster.
The Crimson Basin System was the northernmost part of the Six Disc Galaxy Cluster. To the north of it was the true Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster, but a void belt of starry sky with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of light-years separated the two.
At this moment, the fleets of the two kingdoms were swiftly traversing through this vast void belt.
For high-level Flame Warships like battleships, dreadnoughts, and star annihilators, a distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years might not be considered long. A few dozen starry sky warps might be sufficient. However, currently, there were over two hundred million ships in the fleet, including a large number of ordinary starships.
Ordinary starships had short-range warp capabilities, but not all of them. To ensure their stable and efficient journey, teleportation gateways needed to be constructed at regular intervals, and logistics support bases had to be established.
Speaking of logistics, the Song family had made a significant profit in this area, both before and during the war.
Before the war, they had learned about the news of the civilizational war a hundred years in advance, giving them a head start.
Now, with Song Chi's ability to freely travel between the War Star Domain and the Dragon Spine Continent, including the Red Star Super-Dimensional Continent, and with large-scale storage devices like the Dimensional Space Stone and the Flame God Space Bracelet, they could easily transport various logistical supplies back and forth.
Taking this opportunity, the Song family sold strategic materials and logistical resources at high prices, making a substantial profit even without considering their allocated earnings. Moreover, the Song family's performance in the Crimson Basin System battlefield was exceptional, and their territory was allocated an impressive 140,000 light-years, resulting in astonishing profits.
Dawnstar Kingdom, Song Luo Alliance Fleet.
Central region of the Song family fleet, the Heaven Ruin Skydome dreadnought.
In the main control room of the warship, a faint spatial fluctuation occurred, and Song Chi's figure disappeared from the ship.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the cultivation realm.
Holding the Seventh Rank War Ancient Tree Heart in his hand, he slowly approached the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
As if sensing something, the Sixth Rank Silver Apple Mother Tree's branches and leaves shook violently as soon as Song Chi entered the realm, and a large amount of energy surged around it.
Song Chi didn't hesitate and directly threw the War Ancient Tree Heart to the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
Instantly, the Silver Apple Mother Tree seemed like a magnet, rapidly drawing the War Ancient Tree Heart towards itself.
Then, the War Ancient Tree Heart and the Silver Apple Mother Tree's trunk began to fuse, a process that lasted for several days. Since the cultivation realm had already been enhanced to the Seventh Rank, it was sufficient to support the Silver Apple Mother Tree's advancement, and Song Chi didn't need to further strengthen it.
Currently, he lacked Sovereign True Spirits, and although he could refine dozens of them from the War Ancient Tree, there was no need to rush the enhancement of this cultivation realm.
The cultivation realm currently lacked an Eighth Rank plant, and the Seventh Rank cultivation realm was still sufficient.
Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation emanated from the cultivation realm, and Song Chi witnessed the Silver Apple Mother Tree expand from hundreds of thousands of meters to tens of thousands of kilometers, officially entering the Seventh Rank.
