Chapter 604: The Corpse Emperor Clan
Chapter 604: The Corpse Emperor Clan
"32 'Thunder Awaken': @All Members, does anyone know about the Ancient Immortal Realm Civilization?"
After returning to Dragon Backbone Continent through the spatial anchor point, Song Chi immediately sent a message in the Radiant Star Command Chat.
As a branch of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Pavilion, the Radiant Star Tower had a high rank, but it had one major limitation: it could only be activated and communicate within the Flamefire Human Civilization Territory. Therefore, after sending the message, Song Chi didn't hold out much hope for a response.
Currently, the two top-level civilizations were engaged in the most intense battles, and most of the members of the Radiant Star Tower had already gone to the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster to participate in the war. There were probably not many left in the Flamefire Human Civilization Territory.
Indeed, if it were any other time, Song Chi's message would have sparked a lively discussion, but this time, there was no response for quite a while.
Fortunately, after a few dozen seconds, the first reply appeared in the Star Command Chat.
"17 'Jade Lotus': Immortal Realm Civilization? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Hold on, I'll look it up in the family database."
Seeing a response, Song Chi was slightly pleased.
"32 'Thunder Awaken': Jade Lotus, are you still at home?"
"17 'Jade Lotus': I can't compare to you guys. I'm still stuck at the limit of the Battleship level, and my role in the family is logistics and coordination, so I won't join the excitement."
As they were chatting, another member unexpectedly joined the conversation.
"19 'Blazing Sun': Thunder Awaken, you didn't join the war either? And suddenly you're interested in the Immortal Realm Civilization. Did you discover a new Immortal Realm Civilization relic?"
"19 'Blazing Sun': As for the information about the Immortal Realm Civilization, I don't know much about it. I only know that it was destroyed about forty million years ago. Is there something new you've discovered?"
Song Chi's heart raced at the unexpected appearance of Blazing Sun. He couldn't possibly reveal the information about the floating land that might be the Immortal Realm Continent, so he used the missing components as an excuse.
For over three hundred thousand years, the Flamefire Human Civilization had obtained numerous remnants and inheritances from the Immortal Realm Civilization, such as the Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Turret and the Celestial Compass, so this excuse was very reasonable.
While waiting for Cui Yulong's response, Song Chi and Blazing Sun chatted extensively, and he also learned the reason why Blazing Sun hadn't joined the warfront yet.
It turned out that Blazing Sun had recently broken through to the Dreadnought level, consolidate, and familiarize themselves with their newfound power, and at the same time, they were also comprehending new secret techniques.
During their conversation, Jade Lotus's reply arrived.
"17 'Jade Lotus': Here's all the information I have about the Immortal Realm Civilization. Take a look, Thunder Awaken!"
As she spoke, she uploaded a file with a decent amount of information to the group chat.
However, this so-called 'decent amount' was only relative, as the file actually contained quite a lot of information.
The Longsun family, a lineage that had endured for over ten million years, was undoubtedly a giant in the ancient world. The amount of information in their database was astonishing, and it was only natural that they had records about a once-powerful civilization.
After reading the file, Song Chi's eyes narrowed.
"Eternal Exile," he muttered. According to the Longsun family's records, the Immortal Realm Civilization had seemingly suffered a devastating attack from a powerful and mysterious force over forty million years ago. In a short time, the civilization was severely damaged, and its peak combat power was almost completely annihilated.
In response, the Immortal Realm Civilization's Dao Ancestor sacrificed himself to banish the shattered Immortal Realm Continent into the Dark Side Abyss, ensuring the survival of his civilization. However, the remnants of the civilization were eventually divided and conquered by various Star Sea civilizations.
The mysterious force that had appeared suddenly and vanished just as quickly remained unknown to this day. However, Song Chi wasn't curious about them; he was more concerned about the Immortal Realm Continent itself.
The information in the file about the Immortal Realm Continent's fate aligned perfectly with the floating land discovered in the Ancient Chaos Continent. After all, the Dark Side Abyss was a place of eternal darkness.
Even without any other evidence, this was enough for Song Chi to decide to investigate at all costs.
The next step was clear: he needed to set up a spatial anchor point on that dark floating land at all costs.
...
Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster, Eight-Armed Galaxy, Serpent Demon Floating Land.
As the center of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster, the Serpent Demon Floating Land was the largest floating land in the Eight-Armed Galaxy, with a diameter of four million light-years. It was a true ninth-level floating land, even showing signs of promotion to the tenth-level Star Continent.
The tenth-level Star Sea floating land was a broken star sea super-floating land that could give birth to mythical life. The various Star Sea civilizations had a special name for this level of floating land: Star Continent.
The fact that the Serpent Demon Floating Land was showing signs of promotion to the Star Continent level was the reason why the four Flamefire Human Empires had decided to start this war, despite not being fully prepared.
For the top-level Star Sea civilizations, a tenth-level Star Continent was a huge variable.
Serpent Demon Continent, Eight-Armed Temple.
This was the ancestral home of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization, and also the place where all the ancient beings of the civilization gathered and communicated.
Deep within the temple, in a hall shrouded in seven-colored light, stood several towering figures whose faces were obscured.
A deep and hoarse voice echoed in the hall.
"The Flamefire Human Civilization is not messing around this time. How dare they?"
"With ten ninth-level combat powers, and the need to defend the Human Emperor City, where do they get their confidence?"
"Discussing this now is pointless. The fact is, the war has begun. Crage, the Corpse Emperor, it's time for us to show ourselves."
...
Compared to wandering around the Snake Mother River System, occasionally participating in the warfront, and most of the time, traveling between the various sixth-level floating lands, secretly picking up bargains, the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Temple was the place where the ancient beings of the civilization gathered.

At the far rear of the Flamefire Human Civilization's territory, a massive threat emerged.
In the southern region of the Flame River System Cluster, this area was the furthest from the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster and should have been the most peaceful part of the entire cluster. However, reality proved otherwise.
Divine Xia Dynasty, Heavenly South Galaxy.
Due to special considerations, the territories of the four great empires of the Flamefire Human Civilization were distributed vertically from south to north. This arrangement also resulted in all four empires bordering the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon River System Cluster in the north, while still possessing their own territories in the southernmost part of the cluster. The Heavenly South Galaxy was one such galaxy under the jurisdiction of the Divine Xia Dynasty, located at the southernmost end.
Heavenly South Galaxy, Heavenly South Star Fort.
Fort Command Center.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
As the urgent alarm sounded in the command room, the entire Heavenly South Star Fort quickly entered a state of high alert.
[Attention! A large number of Corpse Emperor Clan Fortress V-class ships have been detected over three thousand light-years away, rapidly approaching the fort's defense line!]
[Attention! Detecting energy fluctuations from a Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperor, be on guard!]
[Attention! Detecting the second presence of a Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperor...]
Each urgent alarm sounded more alarming than the last.
Fortunately, the fort was guarded by the Divine Xia Dynasty's Third Imperial Dragon Fleet, whose members were of exceptional quality. Though initially startled, they quickly made effective pre-battle preparations.
Moreover, the Heavenly South Fort itself was a Titan I-type Star Fort, and with the blessing of a lower-quality defensive artifact, it already possessed the defensive capabilities of a conventional Ninth-Rank entity.
As a result, the fort's garrison fleet soon calmed down.
Time passed, and soon, the Corpse Emperor's army stopped a hundred billion li away from the fort.
Do not be deceived by the seemingly large number of a hundred billion li; in the boundless starry sky, this was merely the shortest of distances.
Thus, both fleets were on edge, ready for a battle that could erupt at any moment.
As the atmosphere grew heavier, two figures suddenly emerged from the distant Corpse Emperor's army, their overwhelming aura causing the Eighth-Rank Dark Energy shield outside the Heavenly South Fort to tremble continuously, even from a distance of a hundred billion li.
Their gigantic size was terrifying, spanning over a hundred million kilometers, surpassing many mid-to-low-rank floating lands. Even from afar, the abyss-like, majestic aura they exuded was enough to instill panic in the fleet captains of the Divine Xia Dynasty's Third Imperial Dragon Fleet.
Fortunately, two Star River Ships quickly flew out from the fort, alleviating eight-tenths of the pressure for the ordinary fleet members inside, allowing everyone to regain their composure from their initial fright.
It was only then that a captain with an extraordinary background and extensive experience spoke up:
"It's the Corpse Emperor Clan, and they're actually amassing their forces at this node in the southern region of our Flame River System Cluster."
"Corpse Emperor Clan? What kind of race is that?"
For a moment, various fleet communication groups began sharing information about the Corpse Emperor Clan.
The Corpse Emperor Clan was a high-level star sea civilization, their territory located in the southern region of the Flame River System Cluster. However, they had yet to control the entire cluster, and currently, only three Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperors existed within their clan, still a distance away from the pinnacle of high-level civilizations.
What perplexed the fort's defenders was that, according to their knowledge, the Corpse Emperor Clan's territory was still separated from the southernmost part of the Flame River System Cluster by nearly a hundred other clusters. How had they managed to get here?
"Behind us lies the territory of the Flamefire Human Civilization. Friends of the Corpse Emperor Clan, please refrain from further advances, or I will consider it as a deliberate provocation!!!"
Outside the Heavenly South Star Fort, the Supreme Commander of the Divine Xia Dynasty's Third Imperial Dragon Fleet, a member of the Pillar Jiang Clan, and an Eighth-Rank Star River Fleet Admiral, Jiang Qingyu, spoke in a loud voice.
With the amplification of his Eighth-Rank Psionic energy, his voice carried across the entire starry sky, even reaching the Corpse Emperor's army a hundred billion li away.
However, even this threatening statement failed to elicit a response from the two Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperor Sovereigns in the distance, who continued their advance.
This response caused the faces of the fort's defenders to sink in unison.
The meaning behind the Corpse Emperor's actions was clear; with only three hundred and several dozen star clusters under their control, they would not dare to openly show provocative intentions towards the Flamefire Human Civilization after such a warning.
It was evident that they had already colluded with the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization, aiming to disrupt the rear of the Flamefire Human Civilization, forcing their peak forces to divert their attention, thereby reducing the pressure on the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization.
There was no doubt that the Flamefire Human Civilization was the strongest power in the region, and for the past ten million years, all surrounding forces had maintained a tacit understanding to preserve this balance.
However, this time, they had miscalculated. The Flamefire Human Civilization's decision to wage war against the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization would not have been made without considering this possibility.
Just as the two Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperor Sovereigns continued their relentless approach, and the millions of garrison fleet members within the Heavenly South Fort were filled with trepidation...
A super-giant warship emerged from the void.
Divine Yi Qiongyu Ship
This warship, larger than a Star River Ship, did not conceal its name. The moment the name 'Divine Yi Qiongyu Ship' was seen, a thunderous cheer erupted throughout the Heavenly South Fort.
Evidently, the garrison fleet members were familiar with this warship.
The reaction within the Heavenly South Fort was matched by the Corpse Emperor's army in the distance, especially the two Ninth-Rank Corpse Emperors at the forefront.
"Jiang Yi, you've actually broken through!"
One of the Corpse Emperors spoke, his voice filled with astonishment, and even the aura he exuded showed significant fluctuations.
Soon, the other Corpse Emperor followed up:
"So this is the confidence behind your Flamefire Human Civilization's decision to initiate a civil war against the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization?"
As they spoke, the two Corpse Emperors quickly exchanged information, and the starry sky in front of them revealed two gigantic energy vortices, rapidly drawing in the surrounding stellar energy.
