Chapter 666: A Massive Harvest
Chapter 666: A Massive Harvest
"Damn it! This is going to be troublesome!"
"Even if it's troublesome, we have no choice but to use force. Let's see how many items we can grab with our skills."
"The reconnaissance Terracotta Warriors outside have sent a message. The first wave of reinforcements from the Eight-Armed Serpent Civilization has arrived. The good news is that we haven't found the second eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon yet, so we must hurry!"
...
The magnetic wave group chat was filled with the voices of Song Chi and the others, almost shouting to be heard over the din.
There was no other way; the underground sacred treasury was already engulfed in the deafening roar of concentrated artillery fire. Even though the Mirror Battleship and its clones retained the Flame Warship's absolute internal and external isolation, they couldn't remain completely sealed off from the outside when they needed to project traction beams. This rendered the 'internal and external isolation' characteristic ineffective.
Under the relentless barrage, they weren't entirely helpless. At least, the five warships' traction actions never ceased, and one item after another was drawn into the warship clones, then transported to the Multiverse Bazaar by enslaved creatures waiting in the warship clones' cabins.
However, most of these items were mid-tier Oddities like purple and orange, or rare resources of equivalent value. The top-tier Oddities or resources, like the golden and black ones, were extremely limited in number.
There was no other way; the defense strength of the sacred treasury's treasure-prohibiting light shield was also proportional to the brilliance of its color. The higher the rank of the treasure's light, the stronger its defense, and it wasn't something that could be easily breached.
In the main control room of the Heavenly Void Azure Firmament Mirror Battleship, Ling's voice suddenly rang out, and the comprehensive attack authority she had given to the replicated Qiong Tian Zhi Nao was revoked.
Song Chi then quickly activated several components in the Mirror Battleship with Ling's help.
Purple Clouds Godly Thunder Cannon - Ten Thousand Talismans Purple Clouds Thunder Prison!
Neutron Star Core Armor - Neutron Star Fission!
Neutron Star Core Armor - High-Energy Particle Tempest!
Lunar Shadow Cannon - Ten Thousand Moons!
Of course, before activating these wide-range attack features, he had already informed Old Ancestor Song Wujiang and the others, and the Firm Sea Dragon Soaring Ship and three other warship clones had already activated their hull armor's defensive features.
Not only that, they had also deployed their group attack methods, such as the Black Hole Fission and Flame Storm from the Flame Sea-Boiling Ship.
This move was undoubtedly crazy, but they couldn't be blamed. The multiple layers of sealing light screens above them were already showing ripples and dense spiderweb-like cracks that continued to spread. Their time was truly running out.
After a few dozen seconds, laughter filled the warship's group chat.
This crazy decision had paid off, and the subsequent results did not disappoint them. Under the barrage of attacks, the treasure-prohibiting light shields, which had already lost much of their power, finally began to shatter one after another.
With this, silver, golden, and even black-level treasures were drawn into the five warship clones one after another, and then quickly transported to the Multiverse Bazaar by the enslaved creatures within the warship clones using the Bazaar Walk Pass.
The good times didn't last long. In just over ten seconds, the multiple layers of silver sealing light screens above them shattered, and the sealed entrance to the sacred treasury reappeared above the five warship clones.
Shangtang Spirit Venerable and the eighth-rank Unicorn Giant Whale!
Looking at the familiar figures descending from the overhead entrance, Song Chi and the other four were astonished.
The newcomers were from the Shang Clan, and they had somehow managed to escape the eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon and even pursued them here.
"Don't worry about it. Little Chi, Little Yan, use the True Spirit Guardian Components to hold them off for as long as possible!"
Song Wujiang's intention was simple; he had no thoughts of escape, and in fact, the five of them had never left a way out.
Since they were just warship clones, sinking them wasn't a big deal. Being able to plunder as much as possible before that was a worthwhile endeavor for them.
Angelic Monarchic Wings - Angelic Monarch True Spirit Guardian!
Flame God Dominator Skull - Flame God Dominator True Spirit Guardian!
As the two giant True Spirit shadows were summoned simultaneously, the rapidly descending Star Destroyer and the Unicorn Giant Whale were repelled by the combined force of the two overlapping True Spirit shadows.
However, this couldn't last long. If it were just one Star Destroyer, it wouldn't be a problem, but the Unicorn Giant Whale was a genuine eighth-rank entity.
Roar!
A terrifying sound wave swept through the entire underground sacred treasury, as if the repulsion of the two True Spirit shadows offended the Unicorn Giant Whale, causing its terrifying eighth-rank power to erupt.
In just a single clash, the brilliance of the two True Spirit shadows reached their limit, as if they might shatter at any moment.
Seeing this, Song Chi and the other four in the sacred treasury were not surprised. Whether it was the Angelic Monarchic Wings or the Flame God Dominator Skull, both components were only golden, and although they corresponded to the eighth rank, the Heavenly Void Azure Firmament and Flame Sea-Boiling Ship were only Dreadnought-level. Even though both had been enhanced to the eighth rank, their true power couldn't compare to that of a true eighth-rank lifeform.
They were just trying to buy as much time as possible, and the results didn't disappoint them.
During the few seconds bought by the two True Spirit shadows, the five warship clones captured several more silver and golden Oddities.
"Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Strike!"
At the bow of the Heavenly Void Azure Firmament Mirror Battleship, a main cannon that had completed its energy accumulation suddenly unleashed its power, and the next second, a high-energy matter-antimatter beam shot straight towards the black light shield below.
This was the last black treasure-prohibiting light shield in the area the Mirror Battleship was responsible for, and Song Chi wanted to see if he could break it during this final moment.
The destructive power of the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Strike was indeed astonishing. As matter and antimatter collided, the black light shield, which had already been eroded by half, was completely shattered.
As soon as the treasure-prohibiting light shield shattered, the Mirror Battleship immediately shot out a traction beam to capture the treasure within as quickly as possible.
"Wait... Space Vortex... This is a secret realm entrance!"
Upon seeing the situation beneath the black treasure-prohibiting light shield, Song Chi was surprised to find that it wasn't a high-rank Oddity or rare resource, but a strange secret realm entrance.
This discovery left him with many questions, but he reacted swiftly.
"Quick, come to me!"
In the blink of an eye, Song Chi had already formulated a plan.
Before this, he hadn't considered his own escape, nor had Old Ancestor Song Wujiang and the other three.
They were well aware that the space above the temple outside was likely sealed by the golden, or even black, space-sealing components of the Shang Clan. Escaping by conventional means was almost impossible.
The secret realm entrance that suddenly appeared before them was an unexpected opportunity for survival, even if it meant sinking their warship clones. With no worse outcome imaginable, they had nothing to lose by entering, regardless of what lay beyond.
On the contrary, if the secret realm held other advantages, it could be a chance to turn the tables and temporarily escape the pursuit of the Shang Clan.
Song Wujiang, Song Yan, Song Yan, and Song Yan's responses were swift. Hearing Song Chi's call, they all chose to trust without hesitation.
In just a few seconds, the two True Spirit projections above them were shattered by the Unicorn Giant Whale, and the five warships had already rushed into the secret realm entrance.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After entering the secret realm, the first thing Song Chi and the others did was not to flee. The five warship clones swiftly turned around, and countless cannons on the warships fired at the void where the secret realm entrance was located.
They intended to destroy the entrance to cut off any possible pursuit from the Shang Clan.
However, their efforts were in vain.
Despite the relentless bombardment, the void where the secret realm entrance was located remained unaffected, and the entrance in the sacred treasury outside remained intact.
"The Shang Clan must have used some special means to seal the secret realm passage. Let's go!"
Suspecting that the Shang Clan had interfered, Song Chi and the others didn't dwell on it. The five warships changed course again and soon disappeared from the entrance area.
Outside, in the sacred treasury...
The Shang Clan's warships descended and soon arrived at the location where Song Chi's five warships had been.
Looking at the secret realm entrance below, Shang Yuanshan aboard the Shangtang Spirit Venerable was eager to pursue and retrieve everything from those five unknown warships. However, he ultimately restrained himself.
Another Shang Clan's family starbreaker was still outside, maintaining the seal on the eight-armed serpent demon of the eighth rank. With only one starbreaker captain in the Shang Clan's team, rushing into an unknown secret realm was too risky.
Unless the Unicorn Giant Whale accompanied him, ensuring the success of the inventorying task in the sacred treasury would be challenging, which Shang Yuanshan was unwilling to risk.
Despite the Song Clan's earlier plundering, the sacred treasury still held nearly ten golden light barrier treasures and three black light barrier treasures, along with numerous lower-grade light barriers.
With the Shang Clan's resources, this was still a significant temptation.
"All members, focus on scavenging the remaining treasures and resources in the sacred treasury."
...
In the dark starry sky, the five warships, concealed in the void, sped through space, even making several spatial jumps, before slowing down after traveling tens of thousands of light-years.
"Alright, the danger should be over now."
"Haha, this is quite interesting. We were already prepared to self-destruct, but who would've thought that the sacred treasury would lead to a secret realm."
"If our speculation is correct, this secret realm should be a cosmic secret realm."
...
In the warship communication group chat, the five of them conversed rapidly.
They expressed great curiosity about this unfamiliar secret realm while also taking stock of their gains.
Although they couldn't obtain all the treasures and resources from the sacred treasury, they had a clear idea of what they had acquired.
The discussion in the group chat paused for two minutes before resuming with Song Chi's update.
"According to my calculations, in the past few minutes, the five of us sent over three hundred items to the Multiverse Bazaar."
"Among them are three Black Oddities, six Demon Serpent Nine Metamorphosis Fruits, twelve Golden Oddities, two eighth-rank Golden Apples, 120 strands of ninth-rank Terrestrial Origin, 2000 strands of eighth-rank Terrestrial Origin, over two hundred portions of Sovereign True Spirit, thirty-three Silver Oddities, a strand of Vein Dragon Flame, and three Star Serpent Blood Crystals..."
As Song Chi listed the items one by one, the ethereal projections of the group chat members' spirits visibly quickened their breathing.
The resources Song Chi mentioned included top-tier items of unimaginable value. It could be said that this single harvest far surpassed their total gains from the past several months, even by many times over.
Aside from the high-tier Golden and Black Oddities, the Demon Serpent Nine Metamorphosis Fruits, Vein Dragon Flame, and Star Serpent Blood Crystals alone were of incredible worth.
The Demon Serpent Nine Metamorphosis Fruit could be used to enhance or break through Guiding Technique levels, offering significant benefits even to eighth-rank Starstream Captains.
The Vein Dragon Flame was a spirit object that could permanently enhance flame domain-type ship components, making it highly attractive to Song Yan.
The Star Serpent Blood Crystal was one of the additional promotion resources for Flame Warships. It could be used when promoting a Dreadnought to a Starbreaker, and when combined with resources like the Nine Revolutions Spirit God Fruit and Star Spirit Liquid obtained by the Song Clan from the Dynasty's War Secret Vault, the promotion success rate would be significantly increased.
However, Song Chi's attention was drawn to another crystal.
He was familiar with this crystal, a Voidfall Dao Crystal, which he had obtained recently. He had already used a similar crystal to increase his understanding of the Chaos Law from 85% to 89%, with excellent results.
In other words, if he obtained this crystal, his understanding of the Chaos Law might directly surpass 90%, possibly reaching 91% or even 92%. Combined with his 95% understanding of the Light Law, Song Chi could envision a substantial increase in the success rate of the Heavenly Void Azure Firmament's promotion task once he initiated it.
Seventh-rank Sovereign Origin Blood: 12%
Eighth-rank Ordinary Sovereign Blood: 1%
Special Resource Formula: 10%
Nine Revolutions Spirit God Fruit: 10%
Star Serpent Blood Crystal: 8%
Ordinary Seventh-rank Evil God Blood: 8%
Light Law Understanding: 5%
Chaos Law Understanding: 2% to 4%
Just these factors added up to a 56% promotion success rate. With the additional boost of bathing in alien blood, breaking through 70% would be a breeze.
'No, 70% is still not safe. Even with the second chance provided by the sixth-rank Time Boundary Fruit, the failure rate is still significant. I should wait a bit longer...'
'It's a pity that the New Moon Tribe hasn't summoned a Bazaar Projection recently to trade. We only managed to obtain an ordinary seventh-rank Evil God Blood from them. If we could get an eighth-rank Evil God Blood, even a peak seventh-rank one, it would greatly increase our promotion success rate!'
