Chapter 629: The Opportunistic Mission
Chapter 629: The Opportunistic Mission
This decision was made out of necessity, even though they knew it would increase the casualty rate of the Song family's Fourth Rank and above clansmen in the subsequent civil war. But there was no other way.
Even before the civil war began, all the Fourth Rank and above clansmen in the family had uniformly signed the Golden Agreement drafted by the Flame Sacred Pact, ensuring that the family's important secrets would never be leaked.
However, this was still not foolproof. While it might be effective against the powers of the Yao Han Kingdom and the Chenxin Kingdom, once the Dragon Whale Pavilion was suspected of being a Colored Mythical Artifact, the scrutiny it would attract would far exceed the ordinary. It wouldn't be surprising if Immortal Giant forces appeared, so a mere Golden Quality confidentiality agreement would no longer be sufficient.
Therefore, it was obviously safer to keep it hidden from most of the clansmen.
...
The chaos mist in the hall became denser, with colorful lights flowing within it. Above the hall, the once-illusory starlight canopy had transformed into a genuine starry space, and under the silver glow, the entire Dragon Whale Hall appeared even more solemn.
As spatial fluctuations continued to emerge, on the thrones carved with bronze, silver, gold, and even stars around the hall, where the number had already increased to three thousand, Song family members began to condense one by one.
Including Song Chi and the others already present, the number of projected people was just right—ninety, the exact number of clansmen bound to the Dragon Whale Hall before the war.
As for why there were only ninety, it was naturally because some personnel had already fallen. How could there be no casualties after hundreds of years of continuous advancement?
Even with the Song family's ample pre-war preparations, the timely responses of the high-ranking members during the war, and the clansmen's trust in the leadership, which led to extremely efficient wartime coordination, the casualties had been minimized.
As for the other forces in the fleet, their casualties were much higher.
Not to mention the other forces, even the Zhigu Luo Clan fleet, which was allied with the Song family, had suffered significant losses during the war, with over twenty of their Star Annihilator ships sunk. The situation on the Chenxin family's side was even more exaggerated, with nearly forty ships reportedly lost.
Inside the Dragon Whale, the clansmen who had received the family's summons were now curiously looking around, and faint whispers rose from among them.
The topic of their discussion was, as expected, mostly about the drastically changed Dragon Whale Hall.
Knowing that they couldn't hide this from the clansmen who had already completed the binding with the Dragon Whale Hall, and that the changes in their Flame Ancestral Wisdom's Soul Sanctuary were quite evident, it was better to directly inform them than let them speculate on their own.
"Now that everyone has arrived, please allow the Old Ancestor to announce a major event of our Dragon Spine Song Clan!"
Song Xuan Cang's voice interrupted all the discussions in the hall, not causing any commotion but instead making the hearts of those who heard it tremble.
They had their own speculations about what had happened, but now they just wanted to hear the Old Ancestor's personal acknowledgment.
Under the gaze of nearly a hundred pairs of eyes, Song Wujiang slowly spoke, "Just now, the Dragon Whale Hall has completed its final repairs and successfully advanced from Black Supreme Quality to Colored Mythical Quality. From now on, our Song family will have its own mythical foundation!"
His words echoed in the silent hall, where a pin drop could be heard.
But this was just the prelude. Fierce cheers brewed in the hearts of all the clansmen present.
After a short pause, the entire hall erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Even though the nearly one hundred people present were at least a few hundred years old and had their own composure, the mention of 'Colored Mythical' made them cast aside all restraint and patience.
After the cheers subsided, the smile on Song Wujiang's face faded, and he turned the conversation to the main topic.
"Now that I've shared this good news with you, there's something else. Our Song family's strength is still insufficient, and we can't yet bear the weight of a Colored Mythical Artifact. To ensure the family's safety, everyone must keep the news of the Dragon Whale Hall's promotion a secret..."
After a solemn request, the projections in the hall gradually dispersed. The mission in the Fire Snake Star System was still ongoing, and it was not appropriate to be too distracted.
Time flew by, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, several warships quietly flew out from the Song family's fleet once more.
This time, there were five ships, even more than before.
A group of star-annihilator ships, four invincible ships.
Under the blessing of the group stealth state [River of Mass Invisibility], the five warships still did not cause any disturbance.
Of course, the direction of these five warships no longer pointed to the central region of the river system but headed northwest instead.
If outsiders were to see this, their first thought would likely be the western star domain of the Fire Snake River System.
However, the truth was not so.
The target of these five warship clones was outside the Fire Snake River System.
After more than a hundred years, the Fire Snake River System has already been occupied by 99%. The joint fleet of the two great river systems is currently discussing the advancement towards the north, and in the short term, there are no major leaks to be found in the Fire Snake River System.
However, this civilizational war is far from limited to their fleet; the goal of the five Song family members this time is the fleet advancing millions of light-years to the west, primarily composed of the Silver Plate River System and Cloud Plate River System's various forces.
According to the informants arranged by the Song family early on in the Silver Plate River System, including the messages provided by the Silver Plate Pan family under Song Chi's command, the advancing fleet is currently engaging in a campaign against a brand new river system of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon civilization, and it is in a critical phase.
[Firm Sea Soaring Ship] Encrypted Communication Group Chat
Song Xingru: "How about this 'Venomous Snake Floating Land' then!"
Song Yan: "This 'Venomous Snake Floating Land' is the capital floating land of the [Venomous Snake River System]. Its floating land rank is nearly at the peak of the seventh rank, and if we were to raid it, we might just gain a significant harvest!"
Song Shiyuan: "I oppose this idea. While the rich resources of the Venomous Snake Floating Land are indeed enticing, it is, after all, a seventh-rank floating land, and currently, it is one of the most intense nodes in the river system war. Its floating land shield is likely always active, and with just our five warships, it's uncertain if we can even breach its shield."
"Moreover, it's unclear if there are Snake Demon overlords left behind. With the strength of our five warships, combined with the Ruins Marketplace projection of Little Chi, choosing a regular seventh-rank floating land is safer!"
Seeing that there was no definite answer, Song Wujiang turned his gaze towards Song Chi.
"Little Chi, what's your opinion?"
Song Chi thought for a moment and ultimately leaned towards the suggestion of the Primordial Ancestor.
After hearing his thoughts, Song Wujiang spoke:
"Since it's like that, then let's go for the [Withered Snake Floating Land]!"
...
The Withered Snake Floating Land, located in the [Venomous Snake River System], is a rather unremarkable floating land among the several seventh-rank floating lands in the river system.
On this day, numerous beams of light, some red and some silver, suddenly shot out from outside the Withered Snake Floating Land into the starry sky. Although the speed of these beams was astonishing, the fact that they originated from the starry sky meant that the power they carried was very limited.
Midway through this scene, the beams were captured by the Eight-Armed Snake Demons patrolling inside the floating land shield, but they didn't attract much attention, as beams like these shooting from the starry sky were not uncommon.
However, as the beams approached, the patrolling Snake Demons gradually discovered that these beams were all pointing towards the same location on the floating land shield, which was obviously not a coincidence.
But by the time they wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several beams of light successively landed on the same spot on the floating land shield, and although each beam only triggered a negligible ripple on the shield, the continuous impact caused an anomaly at the point of contact.
It was evident that while the Withered Snake Floating Land's shield as a whole didn't show any changes, the local fullness of that specific area had noticeably dimmed.
If it were just this, it wouldn't be a problem, as a seventh-rank floating land could instantly restore itself.
But the reality was obviously not so.
Inside the Withered Snake Floating Land, countless Snake Demons' snake eyes simultaneously showed extreme terror.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Their gazes rose to the top of their heads, looking at the floating land shield above.
As their eyes followed the beams, they could see a giant purple mist palm rapidly pressing down, following the red and silver beams.
Due to the extreme friction between the two different energies, a circle of crimson flame appeared on the surface of the purple mist palm.
However, this didn't affect the movement of the purple mist palm, and soon, a palm with a length of hundreds of thousands of kilometers pressed directly onto the spot on the floating land shield where the light had dimmed.
Crack, crack, crack!
As the floating land shield of the Withered Snake Floating Land began to show more and more spider web-like cracks, the countless Snake Demons inside the floating land also felt their hearts tremble with fear, just like the cracks.
The ending did not change with their heartfelt prayers, as a phantom palm condensed from space, light, and purple mist energy appeared, and finally, with a successful point break, the Floating Land Shield of the Withered Snake Floating Land was completely shattered.
In the distant depths of the starry sky, the five warships had already revealed their forms due to the shield's attack, and the next second, the five warships disappeared and reappeared on the surface of the Withered Snake Floating Land.
Song Wujiang: "Let's split up. I'll go to the northern Snake Demon Holy City. Chi and Xingru, you two head to the eastern Snake Demon Holy City. Shiyuan and Yan, you two go to the western Holy City, and finally, let's gather at the central Withered Snake Holy City."
"Alright, Yan, let's go!"
"Chi!"
"I'm here."
...
Eastern Withered Snake Floating Land, Snake Demon Holy City.
When the mirror warship of the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the purple moon long song warship arrived, the first thing that caught their eyes was the bright white city shield floating above the city.
Although this city shield was not as exaggerated as the Floating Land Shield, it was indeed a solid 7th-rank shield, and breaking through it was not going to be easy.
"Ru Zu, wait!"
Seeing the left red warship eagerly activating its cannon, Song Chi activated the [Bodhimanda Concentration Seal] component on the mirror warship, and with the "Speed" trait, the previously used [Sky Piercing Cone] component was activated again.
A fine silver light shot out from the mirror warship, and when it came into contact with the city shield below, the shield of the eastern holy city dimmed significantly.
Seeing this, Song Chi smiled, thinking that the effect of the silver-quality [Sky Piercing Cone] was indeed exceptional.
Previously, the second batch of [Silver Apple] had three in total, the first one was used on the [Four Elements Rotation Seal] component, and the remaining two were used by Song Chi to enhance the [Sky Piercing Cone] and the [Life Medical Repair Chamber].
This time, the enhanced [Sky Piercing Cone] up to level 70 was used for the first time, and with the additional trait selected, the effect was indeed beyond ordinary.
Sky Piercing Cone Level 70
Quality: Silver
Trait: Sky Piercing
Trait 2: Loaded Warship Spatial Resistance +6400
Trait 3: Component First Trait Effect Doubled
Trait 4: Loaded Warship Internal Energy Density +50%
Consumption: 1224/s (Youneng Points)
Effect: When the loaded warship deals damage to spatial barriers, energy shields, Floating Land Shields, and other special barriers, the power is increased by 100%.
No charge or buffer required.
...
{Sky Piercing: Consumes 50,000 Youneng Points, against spatial barriers, energy shields, Floating Land Shields, and other special barriers within 100km of the loaded warship, it tears open a rift without emitting a sky-piercing light. The duration depends on the strength of the barrier, and you're looking for a spatial barrier with a cooling time of 48 hours.}
After a brief moment of surprise, Song Chi exchanged a glance with Ru Zu in the group chat, and then both of them simultaneously activated multiple powerful attack methods on the mirror warship.
In less than a few minutes, the eastern holy city of the Withered Snake Floating Land was subjected to heavy bombardment, and after about ten more minutes, the city shield, which had already been significantly weakened, finally collapsed completely.
At the moment the city shield collapsed, several Sixth-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons rushed out of the Snake Demon Holy City.
They activated the [Snake Magic Transformation], unleashed the [Armed Snake Demon - Eight-Armed Snake Cage] and other divine abilities, and their bodies were enveloped in thick blood-colored energy waves, indicating they were burning their lives.
Apparently, these Sixth-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons recognized the extraordinary combat power of Song Chi and Ru Zu, and from the start, they brought out all their trump cards, attempting to burn both mirror warships to ashes.
However, Song Chi didn't have time to waste with them, and the Heaven Ruin Skydome mirror warship opened its cabin door, and the next second, a six-star ancient demon stepped out.
[Celestial Scale Control Ring] - "Enslavement Ring - Rage" was activated!
With the activation of this trait, the body of the six-star ancient demon began to soar, and its aura crossed into the seventh-rank level.
After that, the ancient demon went on a one-sided massacre, and those Sixth-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons, even with the support of the Floating Land Essence Will, [Armed Snake Demon - Eight-Armed Snake Cage], [Snake Magic Transformation], and burning their lives, could only elevate themselves to the sixth-rank apex. They simply had no comparability with the ancient demon after its rage.
In less than twenty minutes, the Fifth-Rank and Sixth-Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons in the entire eastern holy city were almost completely slaughtered.
