Chapter 611: Suppression
Chapter 611: Suppression
Millions of miles away, several Sixth Rank Nagas from the Northern Sea Kingdom were hiding behind an underwater mountain range, still shaken from their previous narrow escape.
As they cautiously glanced towards the distant battlefield, their faces, still etched with fear, transformed into astonishment, and then awe.
"Is this the legendary Master of the Multiverse Bazaar? Truly worthy of the great existence that Duke The Duke has revered for hundreds of years!"
Watching the Black Line Whale Sovereign, who had turned and fled after a single glance, the Sixth Rank Nagas' eyes widened in disbelief.
Although they had heard stories from The Duke, nothing compared to witnessing it firsthand.
After all, this was a Seventh Rank Black Line Whale, a true Deep Sea True Emperor, yet it had turned and fled without a second thought after a single glance. This scene alone would be etched in their minds for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years.
At the forefront of the Nagas, the Northern Sea Queen, who had stabilized from her severe injuries, suddenly spoke.
"After this, I will announce my abdication. The Duke will succeed me as the new ruler of the Northern Sea Kingdom. From now on, everyone must assist him to the best of their abilities, understood?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"We will wholeheartedly support The Duke, and I believe that under his leadership, our Northern Sea Kingdom will regain its former glory."
"No, not just that. What is the glory of the past? Our goal is to establish an Imperial Court and lead the Naga race towards the distant seas, to stand in those vast, unknown waters!"
...
Far away, the Purple Mist Palm extended rapidly, as if the concept of space did not exist before it. Despite the Seventh Rank Black Line Whale's incredible speed, the Purple Mist Palm instantly reached its body.
Within the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi, enveloped in dense purple mist energy, forcefully pressed down his raised right hand.
The sound of rushing water filled the air as a vast amount of seawater parted to the sides, driven by the overwhelming energy of the Purple Mist Palm. Countless bubbles scattered in all directions.
Sensing the immense threat of the rapidly descending Purple Mist Palm, the Black Line Whale Sovereign halted its escape. It mobilized the vast blood energy within its massive body, concentrating it all at a single point.
If someone were inside its body at that moment, they would undoubtedly witness the intensifying golden light.
High above in the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi was slightly taken aback as he detected a fleeting flash of golden light within the Black Line Whale Sovereign's body.
"It's actually a golden artifact, interesting..."
His curiosity surged.
For hundreds of years, he had believed that the water continent where The Duke resided was, at most, a Seventh Rank Floating Land. But now, it seemed he had underestimated it.
While it was not unheard of for Seventh Rank Floating Lands to produce golden artifacts, such occurrences were extremely rare.
This meant that the likelihood of this sea continent being just a Seventh Rank Floating Land was very low.
The Duke had mentioned that the Black Line Whale Sovereign had only ascended to the Seventh Rank a hundred years ago. If this sea continent were an ordinary Seventh Rank Floating Land, how could a rare golden artifact found on such a land be in the possession of a newly ascended Seventh Rank Sovereign creature?
It would make more sense for the artifact to be in the hands of the long-standing Sovereigns of the Floating Land.
The golden light flashed and then disappeared, ultimately forming a special defensive water screen above the Black Line Whale Sovereign's body.
Evidently, this golden artifact possessed defensive attributes.
Unconcerned, Song Chi continued to press down with the Purple Mist Palm, showing no signs of slowing down.
A loud rumble reverberated as the two collided, creating another energy shockwave that stirred up more water.
Although the golden artifact was impressive, the Black Line Whale Sovereign that activated it was only Seventh Rank. It could only hold on for a few seconds.
However, due to the empowerment of the underwater environment, even though the water screen shattered, the Purple Mist Palm also lost a significant amount of its power, dimming considerably. This weakened the final attack that landed on the Black Line Whale Sovereign's body.
"This Black Line Whale Sovereign has an exceptionally strong physique, rivaling even the Star Beasts. With the additional boost from the deep-sea environment, defeating it is relatively easy, but killing it is extremely challenging."
After reaching this conclusion, Song Chi made several more attempts, but eventually, he abandoned the idea of killing his opponent.
"Since I can't kill it, perhaps I should try a different approach..."
With a thought, a faint glow appeared on his forehead, and the Heaven Ruin Skydome from the distant Snake Fang Galaxy was summoned remotely.
Once inside the main control room of the warship, Song Chi activated the [Time Chessboard] component with his psychic power.
More precisely, he activated the "Time Prison" trait of the [Time Chessboard].
Since it was impossible to directly subdue and kill, he decided to seal it here.
Using the effect of Time Prison, he sealed the opponent for ten thousand years without any resistance. By then, Song Chi believed he could easily subdue and kill it with a wave of his hand.
Of course, due to the concealment of the Purple Mist energy, Song Chi's actions to recall the Heaven Ruin Skydome went unnoticed by the numerous Star Sea xenocultures below.
Deep beneath the sea, as the Purple Mist palm recondensed, a highly condensed beam of temporal energy shot out.
The Black Line Whale Sovereign, intending to repeat its previous tactic, activated another layer of defensive water screen. However, this time, it had clearly miscalculated.
Astonishingly, upon contact with the defensive water screen, the temporal energy light point showed no signs of being affected and easily penetrated through.
Finally, amidst the Black Line Whale Sovereign's bewildered gaze, the strand of temporal energy entered its body.
A high-pitched whale song echoed through the deep sea. The Black Line Whale Sovereign, sensing the ancient pull of the river of time, had never been as terrified as it was at that moment.
It could feel that the ancient temporal power was of an unimaginable status, and once suppressed by this force, it would struggle to break free.
Almost instinctively, the massive blood energy within the whale's body erupted, along with the complete level of the Water Principle, and even the blood mist surrounding its body. The Black Line Whale Sovereign had even resorted to burning its life force.
Even so, it only prolonged the stalemate slightly, and it still couldn't change the ultimate outcome.
As time passed, the ancient temporal power continued to strengthen. In just a short ten minutes, it had grown to a level that even a seventh-rank Sovereign Being couldn't resist.
After about twenty seconds, a final long song echoed through the deep sea.
Then, the massive body of the Black Line Whale Sovereign suddenly vanished in the sea area.
"This..."
"Where's the Black Line Whale Sovereign...?"
"Your Highness..."
This sudden turn of events left countless beings hiding in the distance, including The Duke and Luke, filled with bewilderment.
In response to The Duke's respectful inquiry, Song Chi, through the Multiverse Bazaar projection, gave a detached reply.
"I have sealed it here. There is no chance of it breaking free within ten thousand years!"
After leaving these words, he didn't linger. With a shift of his mind, the Multiverse Bazaar projection slowly dissipated.
In the artificial rockery at the bottom of the sea, The Duke suppressed the joy in his heart and quickly spoke up to see him off.
...
Half an hour later, with the help of the Mana Submarine, The Duke successfully reunited with the Northern Sea Queen and her entourage.
This deep sea, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, was not something a fifth-rank being like him could withstand without protection.
He explained the final outcome.
Upon hearing this, the Northern Sea Queen pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Seal it for ten thousand years. Remember not to spread the news for now. Immediately notify the Royal Court Army to start infiltrating the sea areas belonging to the Black Line Whale clan. Young Luke, we also request that the Thor Family provide another batch of water-type Divine Warrior Armors. The Northern Sea Royal Court will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Should we notify the other three Royal Courts? Our family alone cannot conquer all the sea areas of the Black Line Whale clan."
"That's right. Although the Black Line Whale Sovereign has been sealed, there are many sixth-rank Black Line Whales, and we alone are not enough."
"Don't be hasty. We must notify them, but only after we have secured the best sea area for ourselves!"
...
In the Multiverse Bazaar, after the Purple Mist energy completely dissipated, the entire bazaar had regained its tranquility.
Of course, many xenocultures continued to whisper about the incident.
"I wonder what the result is? And by the way, who was summoning the Bazaar Sovereign earlier?"
"You'll have to ask the elders in the Bazaar about that!"
Song Chi paid no heed to the rumors circulating in the bazaar.
His mood wasn't the best at the moment, and he sighed inwardly.
"After the Bazaar's promotion, the strength of the projection has reached the eighth rank within the Bazaar, but this is only valid inside the Bazaar. After projecting across the vast starry sky, it only has quasi-eighth-rank combat power, which is still somewhat insufficient!"
Thinking of this, Song Chi tried to console himself that he couldn't ask for too much. After all, he was only at the sixth rank but already possessed a quasi-eighth-rank combat power trump card, something countless Star Sea beings yearned for.
However, his previous thoughts were indeed true. A quasi-eighth-rank combat power, while capable of overwhelming a seventh-rank Sovereign, might be limited in special environments, like today's situation.
The deep sea environment inherently restricted the projection's combat power, and the Black Line Whale Sovereign's vitality was extraordinarily high. It also had a defensive golden oddity suited to the environment. Even with the remote activation of some abilities of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, it was still difficult to resolve the situation quickly.

"The Duke's summoning was a minor yet significant interlude, and after that, Song Chi's daily life returned to its usual tranquility.",
"Meanwhile, in the Snake Fang Galaxy, various factions continued their relentless search throughout the galaxy, negotiating the final distribution of the Snake Fang Galaxy, which was bound to take some time.",
"Of course, this couldn't go on indefinitely, especially with two Overseers keeping a close watch. They wouldn't tolerate any delays in the Sky Plate River System's fleet advancement.",
"Time passed, and another ten years went by.",
"On this particular day, it happened to be the time for a new Multiverse Bazaar Transaction.",
"However, unlike previous occasions, Song Chi received a pleasant surprise.",
"The Bazaar Artifact Exchange Shop was bustling with Xenoculture.",
"At the innermost part of the shop, The Duke, who hadn't participated in the Multiverse Bazaar for a long time, stood there with a bow. Behind him were two six-rank Nagas acting as bodyguards, and further back were the Bazaar elders who had come to watch the spectacle.",
"Among them were not only Ike, the four-rank Centaur, and Night Elves, but even representatives from the Sorcerer Civilization, the Divine Realm Continent's Half-Rat, and Ancient Dwarves, all of whom had a strong interest in the situation.",
"Over the past ten years, they had already inquired about the previous Multiverse Bazaar Summoning. Among those who had exchanged Bazaar Projection Tokens, only The Duke's side had not received a definitive response.",
"Everyone had already confirmed that the one who summoned the Bazaar Sovereign using the Bazaar Projection Token was The Duke.",
"It seemed their guess was correct.",
"After all, in the past few hundred years, The Duke had never enjoyed the privilege of having six-rank bodyguards.",
"Unconcerned about the curious gazes of the regular Multiverse Bazaar visitors, The Duke, wearing the Northern Sea Kingdom's crown, bowed and then quickly explained his purpose.",
"The Duke represents the entire Northern Sea Kingdom today, and once again, I express my gratitude for your protection. In the past ten years, we have been preoccupied with conquering the territories of the Black Line Whale Clan and have not had the time to visit. I hope you will forgive us.",
"As he spoke, he gestured to the two six-rank Nagas behind him.",
"Then, the two six-rank Nagas stepped forward, each holding a storage capsule.",
"Without waiting for Song Chi to speak, The Duke explained:",
"This is a token of apology from the Northern Sea Kingdom. Please accept it, Your Highness.",
"As he spoke, he waved his hand, opening both storage capsules.",
"At that moment, Song Chi's eyes narrowed as he stood in the free-trading area of the Bazaar.",
"It's Titanium Crystal! Judging by the quantity, there should be no less than fifty thousand pieces. It seems the Black Line Whale Clan's territory has a Titanium Crystal deposit, and The Duke remembered that this side was actively acquiring such resources, so they brought them all here. What a pleasant surprise.",
"Thinking this, the projection screen in the center of the Bazaar Artifact Exchange Shop quickly displayed his response:",
"You're right! Well done.",
"Upon receiving the response, The Duke's joy intensified, and he bowed again, saying:",
"I'm glad you are satisfied. With your help, our kingdom has occupied the most vital territories of the Black Line Whale Clan. After a period of recuperation, our strength will surely soar. All of this is thanks to you, and our kingdom will forever remember your kindness.",
"After a while, The Duke and his companions left the Bazaar Artifact Exchange Shop, but the Bazaar elders quickly surrounded them.",
"Tell us, what happened ten years ago?",
"Did you go to war with the Black Line Whale Clan?",
"Over the centuries, the relationships among the Bazaar elders had become quite close. They had already learned about the Northern Sea Kingdom's situation from The Duke, and it was under these circumstances that Luke's Thor Family established cooperation with the Northern Sea Kingdom.",
"When The Duke finished explaining, the Bazaar elders' faces turned solemn.",
"Especially when they heard about the Bazaar Sovereign's single strike that suppressed a seven-rank Sovereign Being."
