Chapter 690: Fleet Promotion
Chapter 690: Fleet Promotion
The heavens trembled, and the void was torn apart time and again, with localized space collapsing and gradually evolving.
Unlike before, the two hand seals that struck down this time were from a true Stage 9 Ruler, far more powerful than the semi-Stage 9 power carried by the projection of the Xushi Market. As an eighth-level Galactic Floating Continent, even on the Red Star Continent where spatial stability was exceptionally strong, it was still difficult to withstand such a level of power from all living beings.
Facing these two overwhelming hand seals, even from the perspective of the Xushi Market projection, with the distant Nether Dark Sea Space in between, Song Chi's heart trembled.
Not only that, but he could also clearly sense his control over the projection of the Xushi Market, and the obvious obscurity he felt meant that he had suddenly sunk into a quagmire, and the overall reaction of the Xushi Market projection was completely suppressed by the overwhelming Stage 9 aura from above.
Even without engaging, Song Chi's heart had already instinctively realized that relying solely on the projection of the Xushi Market, it was impossible to withstand these two overwhelming hand seals, even with the light of the shaking star projection.
Thinking of this, his mind raced with divine thoughts, and the powerful computational ability granted by the divine thoughts allowed his mind to evolve hundreds of divine thought threads at this moment, each one thinking hard about a solution.
If the projection of the Xushi Market couldn't block the attack, it would mean that the Skygale of Tianxu's remote recall was at risk. At this critical juncture before the final promotion of the fleet, he would not allow any uncontrollable factors to appear.
After all, if something unexpected happened, the result would be that everything had to start from scratch, which Song Chi could not accept.
In an instant, hundreds of divine thoughts flashed through thousands of ways to respond, and finally, they settled on the two ultimate life-saving methods he had already considered before this action.
Having stayed on the Red Star Continent for more than two years and stirring up trouble all the way, how could he not have considered this outcome? Especially when multiple super civilizations have already settled on this eighth-level super continent.
The Angel Tribe, Astrologians, Talisman Clan... These civilizations are all top-tier advanced civilizations or even higher, and each one has the ability to individually annihilate or completely control this Red Star Continent. But why have they been able to maintain a bizarre balance for tens of thousands of years? He couldn't believe there weren't some secret deals going on.
"It seems my previous guess was correct. This Red Star Continent is more like a trading ground agreed upon by these super races. My actions have obviously disrupted the rules they secretly established..."
In the Xushi Market, Song Chi's heart was thinking. At this moment, his eyes flashed again, and through the perspective of the Xushi Market projection, he saw the Skygale of Tianxu, which was shrouded in a mysterious black light, evolving a special domain around it.
It was the "Black Hole Domain" characteristic of the "Black Hole Evolution Layer" component.
However, the absolute invincibility of this Black Hole Domain was just one of the two life-saving methods, and there was another one on the Xushi Market projection side.
The purple mist energy above surged again, and at one moment, the purple mist that filled the sky suddenly tore open a crack. A virtual temple, made entirely of condensed purple mist energy and radiating a three-color glow, appeared.
What was the projection of the Longjing Hall, one of Song family's greatest legacies?
This Longjing Temple, summoned by Song Chi using the power of the Xushi Market projection, which was almost Stage 9, radiated a thick Stage 9 pressure. Suspended above the Xushi Market projection, it provided double reinforcement, making the Xushi Market projection several times more solid than before, and the aura it emitted faintly broke through the semi-Stage 9 level, reaching the threshold of formal Stage 9.
Even though Song family had only integrated the Longjing Hall, which was a Stage 7 Floating Continent, if it were a Stage 8 Floating Continent, it would definitely allow the Xushi Market projection's combat power to formally break through Stage 9, and it might even rival that of a veteran Stage 9.
Completing all of this, which seemed to take a long time, actually happened in the blink of an eye. Just as Song Chi's two countermeasures were consecutively unleashed, the two overwhelming hand seals above clashed with the Xushi Market projection.
A violent energy storm swept through the four directions, and even the Asura Blood City below felt shaky under the aftermath of the Stage 9 energy storm. The city shield, which had peak Stage 8 defensive capabilities, cracked after holding on for tens of seconds, and then the undispersed Stage 9 energy storm began to ravage the city, killing millions of exotic beings.
However, the three Stage 9 rulers above completely ignored this, with no intention of stopping.
Just as Song Chi had previously guessed, this Red Star Continent had long been a secret trading ground for these specific races. As for the lives of those insignificant races, what did they care? They were just alternative resources!
With the reinforcement of the Longjing Hall projection, the Xushi Market projection successfully withstood the frontal attack of the two Stage 9 hand seals. Seeing this, the third Stage 9 ruler, who had just arrived, was about to make a move, but the Xushi Market projection's interception caused the Skygale of Tianxu, which had turned into mysterious black light, to quickly enter the spatial crack above the shaking star projection.
More accurately, it entered the Nether Dark Sea Space behind this spatial crack.
At this point, the outcome was already predetermined.
Even a Stage 9 master of the Star Sea, facing the dangerous and bizarre Nether Dark Sea Space, could only look on helplessly.
In comparison, the Xushi Market was originally located deep within the Nether Dark Sea, and with its guidance, the Skygale of Tianxu, which had entered the Nether Dark Sea, was like a fish returning to the sea, no longer posing a threat.
Seeing that they couldn't stop it, the three Stage 9 rulers above stopped their attack. As Stage 9 beings, their eyes were sharp. With ease, they could see that the Xushi Market projection was just a phantom projected across endless space, with no substance or support. Even if they crushed it, they couldn't find the source behind it.
"This Red Star Continent is a trading ground jointly designated by our Angel, Astrologian, Talisman, and other civilizations. Your arbitrary hunting of low-level exotic rulers has violated the rules we established."
"If you agree to stop from now on, we can make your backing forces join this trading alliance. But if you insist on continuing, you will be an enemy of not only our Angel, Astrologian, and Talisman civilizations, but also many others!"
As he spoke, a clear threat could be heard in the voices of the three Stage 9 rulers.
In the vast expanse of the universe, the projection of the Xushi Market, known as the Sky Authority Control Ring, remained silent and quickly dissipated into the heavens, leaving the deities with a deepening frown.
Compared to the anger of the few peak existences on the Red Star Continent, the one who instigated this incident, Song Chi, had a cold smile on his face.
He didn't believe a word of what the three Stage 9 Rulers had said.
Angels, Astrologians, and the Talisman Clan Civilization?
Could three Stage 9 Rulers alone represent the behemoths of several top-tier advanced civilizations?
Setting aside the Angel Civilization, a dominant force comparable to the Wushier Civilization, both the Astrologian and Talisman Clan Civilizations have a double-digit number of Stage 9 combat powers. Unlike the Flame-Light Civilization, which has only been in existence for around 300,000 years, the Astrologian and Talisman Clan Civilizations are ancient top-tier advanced civilizations with nearly a million years of heritage. The Stage 9 units in their civilizations are not as scarce as in the Flame-Light Civilization.
If his guess was correct, the forces that signed the special trade alliance on the Red Star Continent were probably similar to the Xian Qin Dynasty in the Flame-Light Civilization or the Bloodline Sorcerer Family Alliance in the Wushier Civilization. Although they were major powers within their respective civilizations, they did not fully represent the entire civilization behind them.
As for why he didn't agree to their request, the reason was simple.
Firstly, the Xushi Market Projection currently only possessed Half-Step Stage 9 combat power, which was still significantly inferior to a true Stage 9. Just this fact alone would cause Song Chi to be looked down upon if he joined this trade alliance.
Secondly, given Song Chi's current size, it would be too forced to involve himself in the trade of Stage 9 galactic superpowers. It would be easy for the other forces in the alliance to see through his true strength, and they might even secretly plot against him, which would be undesirable.
In comparison, the Red Star Continent was right there, and instead of rushing to get involved, it would be better to wait for the family's strength to improve before approaching them later.
With the family's current development momentum, the infinite resources of the Red Pan River System's essence star domain, and the subsequent promotion of the Skygale of Tianxu, he believed they would be able to secure more benefits in this civilizational war. With all these factors combined, he was confident that this period of time wouldn't be too long.
Shaking his head, Song Chi expelled these thoughts that couldn't be realized in the short term from his mind.
After calming down, he recalled the Skygale of Tianxu and absorbed the Inherited Fire Ancestral Acupoint. Then, he directly left the Xushi Market.
...
Longji Continent, Zhuihuo Yuan.
Two stealthy Dreadnoughts rushed into a large combination illusion and then charged towards a wormhole in the illusion space.
After several dozen minutes, the two warships appeared in the Red Pan River System, not far from the rapidly moving Longji Continent in the starry sky.
To be more precise, it was the Red Pan River System - Song Family's territory - Red Snake Star Domain.
"Old Ancestor, is this the floating continent?" Song Chi asked as soon as he emerged from the spatial wormhole.
Song Shiyuan nodded with a smile.
"Yes, this floating continent is called Red Snake Floating Continent, the only one in the Red Snake Star Domain. Even before we occupied the Red Pan River System, it was already at the peak of Stage 6. With the further assistance of our clansmen in charge of the 'Floating Land Source Core Theft Mission,' it has long since reached the limit of a Stage 6 floating continent."
As he spoke, Song Shiyuan proactively pulled out a storage capsule from the Immovable King of Light.
Understanding his intentions, Song Chi didn't hesitate. He controlled the Skygale of Tianxu to pull the storage capsule into the warship.
When they opened the storage capsule, a high-level floating land source core was revealed.
A Stage 7 floating land source core.
This Stage 7 floating land source core was not extracted from any Stage 7 floating continent in the Red Pan River System but was obtained during the previous centuries-long theft operation.
Carrying this floating land source core, the Skygale of Tianxu descended and eventually entered the inner depths of the Red Snake Floating Continent through a sinkhole.
At the site of the floating land source core, as Song Chi merged the Stage 7 floating land source core in his hand with the original floating land source core of the Red Snake Floating Continent, the two cores began to fuse at an incredible speed.
Simultaneously, on the surface of the Red Snake Floating Continent, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the energy concentration on the floating continent soared.
It was evident that with the infusion of this Stage 7 floating land source core with a concentration of 50%, the Red Snake Floating Continent was officially on its way to a Stage 7 promotion.
Just before the energy tide was about to derive, Song Shiyuan quickly instructed in the family's quantum communication group chat (Red Snake Floating Continent Group):
"All clansmen, prepare! The energy tide is about to arrive. Remember to initiate the warship promotion at the peak of the energy tide. Heaven Hero, Heaven Choice, Xiao Bei, Xiao Ze, and Yi Ming, especially you guys!"
"Old Ancestor, rest assured!"
"My flagship will definitely succeed in its promotion this time!"
