Chapter 618: A Close Call
Chapter 618: A Close Call
"Finally, it's here. Thankfully, it's not too bad..."
In the main control room of the Star River Ship, Yang Song let out a sigh of relief.
As the first generation Marquis of Zhenyuan of the Blood Sui Dynasty, his flagship, the Blood Sui Zhenyuan, had been promoted to a Star River Ship tens of thousands of years ago, making it a veteran Star River Ship.
However, this did not mean that the Blood Sui Zhenyuan's combat power was particularly strong. The simplest issue was that his Flame Seed had yet to advance to the black level, which was a significant weakness.
The limitations of the golden Flame Seed meant that the components of the Blood Sui Zhenyuan could never be enhanced beyond the eighth rank, ensuring that no matter how long it stayed in the Star River Ship category, it could never enter the top tier.
Given this premise, facing two eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, one of which had even communicated with a mythical existence from the Bottomless Abyss, the situation was genuinely dire. If the reinforcements had arrived a minute or two later, the fleeting thought of retreat that had just crossed his mind would not have been an empty threat.
As his thoughts raced, the spatial fluctuations to the side became more intense, drawing the attention of all the living beings present.
"A brand new Star River Ship has arrived! It's been sent by the command center of the Divine Dynasty's fleet!"
The captains of the Star Annihilators were delighted, as the reinforcements had arrived just in time.
In the previous situation, although no one had chosen to abandon the battlefield, every captain present had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years and was highly experienced. They all knew that the Blood Sui Yang's Blood Sui Zhenyuan would not hold out for long, and the only reason no one had fled first was to avoid the subsequent punishment from the Flame Ancestor Temple and the headquarters fleet of the Divine Dynasty.
The arrival of this second Star River Ship undoubtedly restored balance to a battle that was already destined to fail, simply a matter of when it would end.
At this moment, one of the Star Annihilator captains from the Ling Yue Zhao family suddenly spoke up in the group chat:
"The Blood River Totem belongs to the Blood River King!"
This sudden statement broke the long silence in the group chat, which had been quiet for a while.
Rosetta Morningstar: "Is it the Blood River King from the Blood River System of the Divine Dynasty?"
Zhao: "Yes, it's him!"
Xiao Changqing: "Is it that person? I heard that this Blood River King rose to prominence by harnessing a special cosmic phenomenon, the Blood Sea Star River. After merging with the origin of the Blood Sea Star River, his ship gained extremely strong defensive and self-healing abilities. Even when he first entered the seventh rank of Star Annihilators, he had faced an eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon."
...
As everyone was discussing the Blood River King's glorious past, the blood-colored warship with the Blood River Totem engraved on it fully materialized in the distance. After appearing from the void, the originally hundred-kilometer-long ship suddenly expanded, quickly regaining its million-kilometer length.
Roar!
The two eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons suddenly let out sharp roars. After more than a hundred thousand years of confrontation between the Flame Human Civilization and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, both sides' understanding of each other had long surpassed imagination.
Upon hearing this roar, all the Flame Ship Captains present understood their opponent's intention.
"They're summoning the seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons from the surrounding starry sky. Zhenyuan, let's make this quick!"
In response, a quick reply came from the Blood Sui Zhenyuan:
"Good. The one on the left, its innate talent is far inferior to the other. Without the power of the Eight-Armed Demon God, we have a good chance of defeating it together!"
As Yang Song's thoughts raced, he almost simultaneously activated another component.
At that moment, one of the two Divine Dynasty's inspector Star Annihilators received a special message.
"Try to hold off the right-hand eighth-rank Serpent Demon as much as possible. Remember, don't hold back, or else the ship might sink!"
This message came from the Blood Sui Zhenyuan, and Yang Song's words were clearly not up for discussion.
After reading the message, the inspector Star Annihilator captain's expression turned grim. As a captain from the Immortal Qin Divine Dynasty, he came from a prestigious background and had always been in a superior position. When had he ever been given such a forceful order?
Especially one as dangerous as this!
That eighth-rank Serpent Demon had summoned a strand of Abyssal Demon God's power. If they weren't careful, their Star Annihilator, which was already one rank lower, might sink.
However, despite the discomfort, Yang Song's status as a Star River Ship Captain, even if he was just from a subordinate dynasty of the Divine Dynasty, was not to be defied.
After a brief silence, the inspector captain sent the message to the Star Annihilator captains' group chat.
"Did I hear that right? We're supposed to hold off an eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon?"
"The one that summoned a strand of mythical demon god's power?"
After a brief pause, the group chat fell silent again.
Or perhaps a better word would be 'heavy', as the atmosphere in the group chat had already turned somber.
The first problem they faced was deciding who would get close enough to hold off the eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon.
None of the more than ten people present were willing to take on this task.
However, before anyone could break the silence in the group chat, the eighth-rank battlefield in front of them had already changed.
The newly arrived Blood River King's warship and the Blood Sui Zhenyuan simultaneously flashed and teleported in front of the same eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon.
Before the other eighth-rank Serpent Demon could react, the two Star River Ships had already used special components to pull themselves and the eighth-rank Serpent Demon into a unique dimensional space.
Seeing this, the eighth-rank Serpent Demon with the power of the Eight-Armed Demon God quickly swung its eight arms, repeatedly slamming into the dimensional space barrier.
However, the component that generated this dimensional space seemed to be of exceptional quality, at least black-level, as the barrier remained intact despite the Serpent Demon's relentless attacks.
In contrast, the three beings within the dimensional space had already launched into a fierce battle, with the two Star River Ships working together to hunt down the eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon.
Witnessing this, the eighth-rank Serpent Demon outside the dimensional space finally reacted, stopping its attacks on the barrier and turning its attention to the more than ten Star Annihilators nearby.
"At this point, there's no holding back. Everyone, bring out your full strength!"
The first to break the silence in the group chat was one of the two Star Annihilators from the Ling Yue Zhao family.
This person was the current head of the Ling Yue Zhao family and had been a Star Annihilator captain for thirty thousand years, so his experience far surpassed that of the other captains.
Without waiting for others to respond, the head of the Ling Yue Zhao family immediately activated multiple components on his ship.
In the next moment, a frosty white beam shot out from the ship's bow at an incredible speed, heading towards the distant eighth-rank Serpent Demon.
With this person taking the lead, the surrounding Star Annihilators also quickly activated various components on their ships, and beams of various colors shot out in all directions.
The colors of the beams revealed a lot.
First, the frosty white ray emitted by the Ling Yue Zhao family head was obviously a special ice-type binding ray. Once it successfully hit the Eighth Rank Serpent Demon, it would likely bind the target for a period of time.
Most of the other Starship Commanders also had similar abilities.
As for the Firm Sea Soaring Ship, knowing that the surrounding Starship Commanders mostly activated controltype abilities, Song Wujiang was different. He activated a powerful ship cannon attack.
Originally, it was thought that with all these abilities combined, they could control the Eighth Rank Serpent Demon for a while. However, the Star Annihilator Captains still underestimated their opponent, underestimating the Mythical Demon God power on their body.
When all the attacks reached close to it, this Eighth Rank EightArmed Serpent Demon activated another bloodline divine ability that it had never used before.
"EightArmed Serpent Prison"!
Whoosh!
A large amount of violent energy spread out from its body, mixed with a trace of EightArmed Demon God power, making this activated EightArmed Serpent Prison even more domineering.
All the attacks, after entering this EightArmed Serpent Prison, were quietly suppressed and then gradually erased by the violent energy within the serpent prison.
"Continue..."
The Star Annihilator Captains' expressions changed drastically, and they wanted to strike again.
But the reaction of the Eighth Rank EightArmed Serpent Demon was obviously faster.
After the suddenly derived EightArmed Serpent Prison erased all the attacks, the next second, a graywhite ray with a startling diameter shot out from within the serpent prison.
There was no mistake in reading this version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_ba, the first to publish this novel.
It was the EightArmed Serpent Clan's Petrifying Ray ability.
This petrifying ray had a terrifying diameter, and for Song Wujiang and the others, describing it as a pillar of light was more appropriate.
The most direct impact of this was that multiple Star Annihilators were within the range of the opponent's attack.
In the blink of an eye, each of the Star Annihilator Captains reacted differently.
Some wanted to activate flash evasion modules,
Some wanted to use immunity, overpowering, or similar effects to respond,
Some chose to activate the active burst characteristics of the ship's engine, wanting to control the ship's deviation.
But what scared them even more was yet to come. The EightArmed Serpent Prison, which originally only covered the Eighth Rank Serpent Demon, suddenly expanded, instantly enveloping more than ten Star Annihilators.
The EightArmed Serpent Prison activated by the Eighth Rank Serpent Demon had an additional trace of Mythical Demon God power, and the power of this EightArmed Serpent Prison was unimaginable.
Multiple effects such as air restriction, demon restriction, deceleration, and time slowing all acted on the Star Annihilators.
Forget about flash evasion, even the energy shields on the outside of the Star Annihilators directly overloaded at this moment, suppressed by the serpent prison rule of demon restriction.
After that, the unaffected pillar of lightlike petrifying ray shot out, instantly petrifying most of the Star Annihilators, including the Firm Sea Soaring Ship.
This was still not the most frightening thing for all the Star Annihilator Captains. At this moment, their pupils were staring in horror at the front.
The Eighth Rank EightArmed Serpent Demon gave no breathing room to the Star Annihilators. After the EightArmed Serpent Prison and the Petrifying Ray, its eight arms raised again, and a pitchblack demon blade condensed for the second time from its head.
This was the EightArmed Demon God Slash used against the Blood Sui Zhenyuan earlier.
Of course, this second hastily condensed demon blade was much shorter than the first, and its power was far inferior.
But no matter what, this was a strike from an Eighth Rank unit, condensed with a trace of Demon God power. Its power, while not directly comparable to a Ninth Rank, was extremely strong within the Eighth Rank.
One could imagine the damage that would be inflicted if struck directly by this demon blade.
Moreover, at this moment, the energy shields on the surface of the Star Annihilators had already extinguished, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them.
However, no matter how terrified the Star Annihilator Captains were, with their ships in a petrified state, they could only watch helplessly as the demon blade slashed towards them.
Those few lucky Star Annihilators that were not petrified were currently trying their best to turn their ships, wanting to create distance by moving sideways.
However, the Star Annihilator Captains were not completely sitting ducks. Although the ships couldn't move, and energy couldn't be manifested, at least the defensive characteristics of the ship's body itself were not restricted.
At this moment, more than ten Star Annihilators unanimously activated the defensive characteristics of their ship's armor.
Each of the more than ten Star Annihilators had different ship body armor. Some had a layer of special alloy covering the outside of the ship, some temporarily had a second layer of armor, and some transformed themselves into other special forms.
Inside the Firm Sea Soaring Ship, Song Wujiang's face also showed a trace of panic. He forced himself to calm down and activated the "Death Destiny Star Shell Guard" of the Death Destiny Star Shell Armor.
After the Firm Sea Soaring Ship was completely covered by the special Death Destiny Star Shell, he looked down at the golden token in his hand with a slightly struggling expression.
It was the Bazaar Projection Token that Song Chi gave him before leaving.
Apart from not being sure if the Bazaar Projection Token could be successfully activated in this demon restriction serpent prison, he was also worried about exposing the Multiverse Bazaar.
At this point, although Song Chi had never explicitly stated it, the core members of the family basically already knew, guessing that the relationship between the Multiverse Bazaar and Song Chi was not as simple as that of a regular bazaar customer.
Precisely because of this, the Multiverse Bazaar was too big to handle. Once the projection of the Multiverse Bazaar was successfully summoned, the Song Clan would undoubtedly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, which would bring great danger to Song Chi.
At the moment Song Wujiang was hesitating, the petrified state of the Firm Sea Soaring Ship was abruptly broken free.
His gaze suddenly turned to the side, towards the silver Blood Battle Monument.
Obviously, it was because of this component that the Firm Sea Soaring Ship broke free from the petrified state ahead of time.
With this change, Song Wujiang no longer hesitated.
He put away the Bazaar Projection Token and, with his mind racing, the ship's door made a "whoosh" sound, and the door was opened a little.
Subsequently, the mini Huao Sovereign Worm in the ship's chamber received the signal and flew out quickly through the gap in the door.
After the Huao Sovereign Worm rushed out, the gap in the Death Destiny Star Shell quickly closed. Looking forward, after this operation, the pitchblack demon blade that was slashing horizontally had already reached close.
Whoosh!
The demon blade's edge slashed across the bodies of multiple Star Annihilators, but slightly different from the other Star Annihilators, before the demon blade cut into the Firm Sea Soaring Ship, it first slashed at the giant worm's carapace that was blocking the ship's front.
Boom!
The explosion sounded from a distance, followed by a familiar energy storm.
