Chapter 667: The Great Battle
Chapter 667: The Great Battle
"Oh right, there's also a top-tier energy crystal in the Xushi Collection, condensed from the body of a Dominator-level insect, which can further increase the promotion success rate by 10%..."
A flash of inspiration struck Song Chi, reminding him of the top-tier energy crystal he had obtained from the previous battle with Iris, which he had enslaved.
With these additional resources, the promotion success rate would exceed 80%, a truly remarkable figure. In the event of a special circumstance, it might even be possible to directly initiate the warship promotion of the Tianxu Cangqiong number.
Of course, this was only an emergency measure for unexpected situations. Given Song Chi's personality, he would prefer to play it safe and strive to boost the promotion success rate to 95%, the same as when promoting the dreadnought.
He was well aware of the immense difficulty in achieving this, especially when promoting a starship killer, as it was nearly impossible to rely on the blood of alien races to gain a success rate of over 30%. The only option was to prepare as many additional promotion resources as possible, but any resource effective for promoting a dreadnought to a starship killer would be extremely rare and invaluable. Song Chi understood this, but he wasn't one to give up easily.
His idea was simple: any increase in the promotion success rate, no matter how small, would reduce the likelihood of using the Time Realm Fruit.
The difficulty gap between promoting a dreadnought and a starship was like heaven and earth. With a stable source of seventh-level Time Realm Fruit, he naturally wanted to save it for the future promotion to the starship level.
...
As he was thinking about this, the multiple attribute screenshots he had just sent to the group chat had sparked a discussion among the four elders.
At this moment, they were in a secret realm of the universe, facing significant challenges. It would be difficult to reach the central region of the secret realm in a short time, so they weren't in a hurry. After setting the autopilot mode, their attention naturally shifted to the rewards they had obtained.
"Our luck wasn't great this time. Out of the five black treasure prohibition light shields, only three black wonders appeared, and only one of them could be transformed into a warship component..."
Song Shixing's words resonated with the others. They had automatically overlooked the fact that both the Six Magic Snake Nine Molting Fruits and the 120 Strands of Ninth-Level Floating Land Origin had come from the same black treasure prohibition light shield.
Eight-Armed Devil God's Divine Blood
Eight-Armed Snake Eyes
Core of the Earth
When they had first inspected these items in the Xushi Collection, they hadn't thought much of it. But now, looking at these three black wonders, Song Chi seemed to have an idea.
Among them, the Core of the Earth could be transformed into a warship component—a black warship armor.
Core of the Earth Warship Armor lv0
Quality: Black
Attribute: Warship Armor Defense +170%
Attribute 2: True Defense
Attribute 3: Earth Revival
Attribute 4: Warship Hull Rigidity +170%
Attribute 5: Double-Layer Armor
Attribute 6: Blessing of the Earth's Core
...
The attributes of this black armor were self-explanatory, but Song Chi's attention was not on it. Instead, he was focused on the Eight-Armed Devil God's Divine Blood.
As its name suggested, this drop of blood was from the deep abyss devil god worshipped by the eight-armed snake devil civilization.
A drop of divine blood from the deep abyss devil god could become a black wonder, which might sound fantastical, but Song Chi wasn't surprised.
The Tianxu Cangqiong number also had a similar component, the Eternal Protection Scale of the Dust World Python, which was a golden wonder transformed from a scale of the Dust World Python, a mythical being.
If a scale from a mythical giant python could become a golden wonder, why couldn't a drop of divine blood from a deep abyss devil god?
What interested Song Chi was the Eight-Armed Devil God's Divine Blood itself.
As an extraordinary existence in the bottomless abyss, the blood of the eight-armed devil god was genuine divine blood, far surpassing that of true gods and main gods from the Gods' Continent.
Since it couldn't be transformed into a warship component, he wondered if it could be of use to the New Moon Tribe's New Moon Matriarch or even the Moon God she worshipped. Perhaps it could even be traded for a drop of eighth-level evil god's blood.
Once this thought entered his mind, it was hard to dispel, even in the group chat discussion about the Core of the Earth Warship Armor.
The distribution of these items seemed to be of little concern to anyone.
It wasn't until the black armor was assigned to Song Shiyuan that Song Chi's turbulent emotions finally settled.
He had no objections to this arrangement, not only because the Neutron Star Armor's current attributes and future potential far surpassed others, but also because he had already received the Blood of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon and the Eight-Armed Serpent Eyes from a fallen eighth-tier Eight-Armed Serpent Demon. It was hard to argue against such a generous allocation.
After the three black wonders, there were as many as twelve golden wonders, eight of which could be transformed into warship components. However, only one of them was useful to Song Chi.
Space Jumper lv0
Quality: Golden
Trait: Maximum jump distance increased threefold
Trait 2: Warship Space Resistance +1000
Trait 3: Jump Charge +1
Trait 4: Jump Star Map Collector
Trait 5: Hyperspace Jump
Consumption: 5000/jump (Psi Points)
Jump Capacity: 2/2
Effect: After charging, the equipped warship performs a space jump in the specified direction. Current maximum jump distance: 90 (30 x 3) light-years.
Charge Time: 1 hour; Buffer: 24 hours
Upgrade Requirements: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero-Tier), 1000 Psi Points, 10g of Space Sand
{Jump Star Map Collector: After entering an unfamiliar star field, the jumper automatically collects star maps for one hour, generating a detailed star map with a detection range 20 times that of the warship's onboard sky-scanning radar.}
{Hyperspace Jump: Consumes 100000 Psi Points to perform a hyperspace jump towards a specified direction, with a maximum jump distance 100 times the normal jump limit. Cooldown time is fixed at 1 year.}
In the end, Song Chi obtained the Space Jumper, along with four golden wonders that couldn't be transformed into warship components.
The Red Sky Jump Device didn't need to be replaced, but the Aurora Jump Device couldn't keep up with the current pace of the Tianxu Skyvault. Upgrading to the Space Jumper would be a perfect fit.
In addition, Song Chi also received a Serpent Nine-Molting Fruit, a Sky Serpent Blood Crystal, an eighth-tier Golden Apple, 20 strands of ninth-tier Floating Land Origin, 300 strands of eighth-tier Floating Land Origin, 30 portions of seventh-tier Dominant True Spirit, 10 portions of eighth-tier Dominant True Spirit, and eight silver wonders that couldn't be transformed into warship components.
Undoubtedly, he had received the most items among the five, and the explanation given by the four elders was that he had provided the opportunity to enter the Serpent Demon Continent and contributed another warship component.
Song Chi didn't hesitate to accept these resources, as he was well aware that the Tianxu Skyvault would desperately need them in its quest to become a Star-Annihilating Battleship.
After the initial distribution of the spoils, the five warships continued to fly through the secret realm for several days until they finally reached the core area on the fifth day.
The reason they knew they were in the core area was simple: an astonishingly large floating landmass appeared before them.
"A rough estimate suggests that this floating landmass has a diameter of nearly ten thousand light-years. Even in the outside world, it could rival those of the seventh-level star sea floating continents. I reckon that this secret realm is not among the lowest-ranked in the universe, and its tier is definitely no lower than the ninth..."
Song Yan's voice echoed through the communication group chat.
Song Chi strongly agreed with this assessment, recalling the Blood Battle Secret Realm he had entered before, which was the lowest-ranked universe secret realm with a maximum tier of only eight. The core floating landmass at its center was indeed far inferior to the one before them.
However, this realization also brought a sense of unease to their hearts.
Generally, the higher the tier of a secret realm, the higher the maximum tier of the creatures that could enter it. If there were native creatures within, they could be as powerful as the tier of the secret realm itself.
In short, the higher the tier of a secret realm, the more dangerous it was likely to be.
Just as the five warships were hesitating about entering the core floating landmass, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Despite his temporary use of his original body to teleport to the mirror warship and activate his Reincarnation Eyes to their fullest extent, Song Chi still couldn't make out the source of the light due to the vast distance.
Whoosh! A second light suddenly appeared, closely following the first.
It remained blurry, and after an unknown amount of time, a very weak energy shockwave emanated from the direction of the light.
At this moment, it was clear to Song Chi and the others that the source of the two bright lights was not something else, but more likely a battle involving living beings.
"Let's go, we're heading over there!"
...
In the Floating Land's celestial vault, a majestic golden giant wielded a long halberd, its body shimmering with golden light. It swung its weapon repeatedly, aiming at the towering eight-armed silhouette across from it.
Although this golden giant was just a phantom, its golden body was covered in countless rule secret patterns. Supported by these patterns, its power was no less than that of the eight-armed figure it faced.
In the depths of the void, a hundred billion kilometers away from the two combatants, a communication channel opened up within the five Song family warships.
"The secret technique of the Twelve Golden Men of Xianqin is being used. It's the starship captain of the Ying clan fighting against an eighth-tier eight-armed serpent demon!"
"How is that possible? They entered this secret realm even earlier than us?"
"Is it possible that there's more than one entrance to this secret realm? Could it be that each of the first-tier sacred cities on the Serpent Demon Continent has an entrance to a secret realm?"
"It's not just the Xianqin clan members. Look over there, that's the Wang clan's Annihilator Starship."
"And the Wang clan, it seems like the Xianqin Heavy Industries people are here too."
"That's right, there's definitely more than one entrance to this secret realm!"
Just as the five were discussing this, another spatial fluctuation emanated from the edge of the distant battlefield. Following this, an Annihilator Starship and multiple Dreadnoughts burst out of a jump channel.
"The Shang family has arrived too!"
As they identified the newcomers, Song Chi instantly recognized the Shangyuan Lingzunhao.
Shang Yuanshan had no intention of hiding their identity. Upon arriving at the battlefield, they quickly opened the warship's cabin and summoned the One-Horned Giant Whale at the first opportunity.
However, the bad news was that not long after, an eighth-tier eight-armed serpent demon also appeared, closely following them. If their guess was correct, this was the same demon that the Shang family had been holding off earlier.
"Let's begin. From the looks of it, this will be the decisive battle. If we win, all the seventh and eighth-tier eight-armed serpent demons in the battlefield will be annihilated, and the willpower of the Serpent Demon Continent will be significantly weakened, affecting even the Floating LandShield outside."
"But if we lose, I'm afraid that 90% of the starship captains present will be forever trapped here!"
In the group chat, the five members of the Song family exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination.
The next second, the five warships sped towards the distant battlefield.
They didn't rush to deactivate their stealth, but instead, took advantage of this final element of surprise. They simultaneously activated the powerful attack charging for the main cannons of their ships.
When the charging was complete, multiple intense beams of light erupted from the five warships.
These beams targeted the seventh-tier eight-armed serpent demons in the forward battlefield.
It wasn't that the five didn't want to target the eighth-tier serpent demon in the field, but they knew that their attacks would have limited effect on it. Instead, they focused on trying to collectively take down a seventh-tier serpent demon.
Even though they were inside this secret realm, everyone was aware that the battle records of Emperor Ying would not be affected. The head of a seventh-tier serpent demon was worth a solid 100,000 battle points.
The intentions of Song Wujiang and the other three were simple: to help Song Chi earn more battle points, which would be valuable exchange points later on.
It must be said that the Song family had reaped significant benefits from their scavenging efforts over the past few hundred years. Each of the five warships was equipped with powerful main cannons, and that didn't even include the secondary guns. These warships were not to be underestimated, with one or two, or even two or three main cannons, super main cannons, and even Annihilator cannons!
With the five warships unleashing their full power in a coordinated attack, they instantly annihilated a seventh-tier eight-armed serpent demon.
Although the final kill wasn't the Tianxu Skyvault mirror warship, it didn't matter. The recording component on the Divine Court had a high rank, and the eight-armed serpent demons killed by the other four members of the Song family were directly accumulated under the identity of the Beidou Qixing Dian - Jingzhi.
As countless attacks landed on the seventh-tier eight-armed serpent demon, the five warship clones were also exposed to the outside world. The five warships split into two, with the Tianxu Skyvault mirror warship rushing towards the area where the Beidou Qixing Dian members were located, while the Dinghai Longxianghao and the other three headed towards another battlefield.
Boom! Another beam of light erupted, piercing the body of a sixth-tier eight-armed serpent demon.
"Wait, that's..."
Suddenly, Song Chi's gaze, which had been scanning the Floating Land below, seemed to have caught something. His eyes, which had a shadow of dual pupils, suddenly froze, not moving an inch.
