Chapter 746: Triple Transmutation Golden Body
Chapter 746: Triple Transmutation Golden Body
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A dull roar tore through the sky, piercing the Dragon Spine Continent and propelling a warship wrapped in a common white light shield into space. After a violent spatial tremor, the warship quickly vanished into the depths of the silent cosmos.
Many members of the Song Family witnessed this scene as they traveled to and from the Dragon Spine Continent, but it did not attract much attention. The reason was simple: with the current strength of the Song Family, a few hundred-meter escort ships were a common sight. With over eight million second-rank members, it was not an exaggeration to say that many had never even met.
However, if these second- and third-rank members truly knew the true identity of that warship, they would have been utterly shocked.
After a single spatial jump, the two-hundred-meter-long Heavenly Wasteland Sky successfully arrived at a sixth-grade floating continent just a few tens of thousands of light-years away from the Dragon Spine Continent.
In the main control room of the warship, Song Chi's gaze shifted from the sixth-grade floating continent below, where tens of thousands of warships were constantly taking off and landing, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This floating continent, known as the Dragon Spine Central Transit Floatland, was a super transit and trading hub led by the Song Family. Over twenty wormhole passages were arranged in a ring above the sky of this floating continent, connecting various star regions under the control of large and medium-sized forces within the Dragon Spine Kingdom, as well as star regions hundreds of thousands of light-years away, such as the Yao Han Kingdom in the Silver Disk Galaxy and the Silver Disk Kingdom.
Most crucially, the two central wormholes connected to the Demon Serpent Floatland—a market holy land created by the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty in the Octopus Serpent Demon Galactic Cluster—and the Demon God Floatland, which is now considered the trading center of the entire Ember Human Civilization.
In short, through centuries of effort and negotiation, the Song Family, in collaboration with various forces, successfully created this transit sanctuary.
Of course, even with the combined strength of the Crimson Disk, Dragon Serpent, Heavenly Disk, and Silver Disk galaxies, they could not match the competitiveness of the Demon Serpent Continent and the Demon God Floatland. Since the official opening of this transit floating continent, most of the Song Family's business has been collecting passage fees, with transactions accounting for a smaller portion.
Most captains from the major galaxies prefer to conduct their transactions on the Demon Serpent Continent and the Demon God Floatland.
To address this, Song Chi and the various forces have taken some measures, such as increasing the passage fees for the wormholes leading to the Demon Serpent and Demon God floating continents. While these measures have had some effect, they are not substantial.
Fortunately, even with just the passage fees, the massive number of ships passing through ensures that the Song Family still makes a substantial profit, far exceeding what they would earn by establishing a medium-sized market holy land on their own.
For this reason, the Song Family has left the Three-Eyed Imperial Dominator Flagship on this floating continent to maintain order in the Central Transit Floatland.
...
On a floating continent where millions, or even tens of millions, of warships shuttle, the sudden appearance of a destroyer would normally attract significant attention.
However, the Heavenly Wasteland Sky managed to avoid this by maintaining its two-hundred-meter length, blending seamlessly with the other warships taking off and landing.
"Family's new Wishful Heart Vase is indeed impressive..."
Muttering to himself, Song Chi turned his gaze to a golden component on one side.
Wishful Heart Vase (Level 80)
Quality: Golden
Unique Trait: Wishful Heart
Consumption: 1650/s (Spiritual Energy)
Effect: Increases the activity of the warship's hull by 70%, grants moderate self-healing ability, and significantly extends the duration of the mythic mech form.
...
Wishful Heart: The warship can freely control its size, with a minimum contraction of 80,000 times and a maximum expansion of 8 times. The mass of the warship will change accordingly with any size adjustments.
The Wishful Heart Vase was recently delivered to him by the family, but it was initially just a silver component. Coincidentally, three more Golden Apples were produced in the Secret Realm, so Song Chi evolved it to the golden quality.
The results were indeed impressive.
As for the other two Golden Apples, he temporarily evolved the Oath Bond to the golden quality, enhancing the binding power of this confidentiality component.
For the last Golden Apple, after some thought, he realized that none of the silver components on the Heavenly Wasteland Sky were in urgent need of evolution. In the end, Song Chi used it to evolve a strand of Silver Ascension Flame.
After evolving, the Silver Ascension Flame transformed into a golden hue. In the Ember Human Civilization, the value of an Ascension Flame of the same rank could be increased by a full tier.
Song Chi didn’t rush to sell this strand of Golden Ascension Flame, even though his clan was in dire need of it. Instead, he wanted to see if he could exchange it with other Captains for other precious treasures or resources.
The Heavenly Wasteland Sky had already reached the limits of the Seventh Rank. As a Captain, Song Chi’s current task was to prepare for its subsequent advancement to a Galactic Ship.
However, gathering the various special and additional resources required for a Galactic Ship was far from simple.
Even though he already had several resources, such as the Dragon Blood Stone, Earth Mother Stone, and Chaos Blood Organ, it still wasn’t enough.
With this thought in mind, the Heavenly Wasteland Sky, now in the form of an Escort Ship, quickly headed toward the Spacewormhole below.
The purpose of Song Chi’s journey was to visit large market holy lands like the Demon Serpent Continent and Demon God Continent, to see if he could complete the special resource formula needed for the Annihilator Ship to advance to a Galactic Ship. If possible, he also wanted to acquire one or two additional Ascension resources.
He had already carefully calculated the probabilities. Even with the Fortune Blood from the Blood Chalice, including the Ninth-Rank Sovereign Blood, Eighth-Rank Demon God Blood, and the Chaos Blood Organ and Chaos Demon Ape Spirit Bone, the Ascension success rate of the Heavenly Wasteland Sky was only just over 50%.
To ensure a success rate of over 80%, he needed to gather all the special resources and acquire one or two additional Ascension resources. With the inclusion of the Seventh-Rank Time Fruit, this success rate would be quite promising.
Of course, even if the Seventh-Rank Time Fruit failed, he still had the “Time Rewind” feature of the Time Chessboard, which could revert the Heavenly Wasteland Sky to ten seconds before the attempt. This essentially gave him four chances to succeed, making failure almost impossible.
If it still failed, he could use the “Nine Lives Chess” feature to revive, and he would have no choice but to start collecting resources again.
Regarding an Ascension success rate of over 90%, Song Chi didn’t insist on it. It wasn’t that it was impossible, but the difficulty was immense. For an Annihilator Ship to advance to a Galactic Ship, after reaching 50%, further improvements became extremely challenging. For ordinary Annihilator Ships, the success rate when advancing to a Galactic Ship usually ranged between 15% to 30%.
Moreover, even if he managed to push the Ascension success rate to over 90%, the resources and time required would far exceed expectations, making it a losing proposition.
Song Chi’s thoughts were simple: instead of expending a lot of effort to achieve an over 90% Ascension success rate, it was better to maximize the effectiveness of the Seventh-Rank Time Fruit, as it would become ineffective after the ship’s Ascension to a Galactic Ship.
...
'A Chaos Blood Organ, a Seventh-Rank Mist Half-Serpent Slave, a strand of Golden Ascension Flame, and if all else fails, the remaining slot for bathing in the energy tide of the Ninth-Rank Floating Land essence...'
In the main control room of the ship, Song Chi’s eyes rapidly darted as he considered the resources he could use for trading.
As for the Seventh-Rank Demon God Blood and Eighth-Rank Sovereign Blood, he largely ignored them. For Captains aiming to advance their ships to Galactic Ships, these were basic necessities and had the lowest priority, not worth much in trade.
"Not enough!"
Song Chi frowned, feeling that his resources were insufficient.
"Right..."
Seemingly remembering something, he transferred control of the ship to the skybrain and vanished from the control room. A few dozen seconds later, he reappeared with a Storage Capsule in hand.
When the Storage Capsule opened, two strands of flame with a faint black glow appeared in the control room. These were the Corpse Devouring Coldfire and another black fire seed that Song Chi had successfully collected over the years, plus the one he recently traded from the Master of the Pure White Tower. Now, he had three strands of black fire that couldn’t be converted into Ascension Flames.
Although one of these strands had already been used to refine a True Immortal Breakthrough Pill, dimming by a third, it didn’t affect the subsequent refinement of a new True Immortal Breakthrough Pill or the long-desired Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill.
His gaze shifted to the components of the Creation Octagonal Furnace (Remnant), and the three strands of black fire were successively thrown into the furnace.
A brilliant light flashed, and after four consecutive tremors, Song Chi obtained four high-grade treasure pills with intricate patterns.
Two True Immortal Breakthrough Pills.
Two Triple Transformation Golden Body Pills
Staring at the four precious pills, Song Chi's eyes flickered.
To create these four pills, three strands of black extraordinary-grade flames had been entirely consumed. These were no ordinary pills; each one was almost equivalent to an extraordinary-grade black item.
Song Chi was already familiar with the effects of the True Immortal Breakthrough Pill, which indeed increased the chances of breaking through to the seventh rank by twenty percent.
The Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill, however, was a bit different. Although he knew it could grant a living being the special constitution of a Triple Transmutation Golden Body, he had no idea what exactly a Triple Transmutation Golden Body entailed or what its capabilities were.
Given his trust in the Creation Octagonal Furnace (Remnant) part, he naturally had no doubts, but if he wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in the future, it would be unwise to be completely clueless.
With this in mind, he entered the All-Heaven Market once again.
In the All-Heaven Market, aside from Song Chi, the owner, a second figure stood.
"Try this Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill and see how it works..."
"Yes, Master!"
Taking the pill from Song Chi, the Asura Emperor swallowed it without hesitation.
Then, the powerful Asura, who had already reached the peak of the eighth rank, closed his eyes. Bloodlight boiled on his skin, and a powerful blood aura began to spread, eventually enveloping the entire Pantheon Market.
Song Chi, bolstered by the Ninth-Rank Sovereign's power, remained unaffected and watched quietly from a distance.
"His physical strength is surging."
With the help of his Diplopic Vision, Song Chi could clearly see the Asura Emperor's physical strength continuously improving.
Even his already peak eighth-rank life force showed signs of further enhancement, almost as if he were about to reach the ninth rank.
However, the gap between the eighth and ninth ranks was vast, and in the end, the Asura Emperor's aura stabilized at the half-step ninth rank.
This was still a significant achievement. The difference between the peak eighth rank and the half-step ninth rank was substantial in terms of actual combat power.
Just like the current projection of the All-Heaven Market, which, after crossing the vast starry sky, displayed the power of a half-step ninth-rank being, it still overwhelmed eighth-rank beings.
The same applied to the peak eighth-rank beings.
Moreover, according to the Asura Emperor, after transforming into a Triple Transmutation Golden Body through the Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill, not only did his physical strength and overall power increase, but the purity and speed of the dominion force within his body also improved significantly.
As a result, his combat power would be even more astonishing among peers, and his chances of breaking through and the speed of his future breakthroughs would also greatly increase.
In essence, the Triple Transmutation Golden Body fundamentally altered his bloodline potential and physical foundation.
With this concrete result, numerous thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind.
First, he considered whether he should take the remaining Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill himself to permanently enhance his cultivation speed and increase his chances of breaking through, which would likely also benefit his future practice of the Guidance Technique.
Then, the idea of reclaiming the quota for the ninth-rank Floating Continent's energy tide bath resurfaced.
Initially, he had considered using this quota for a trade because his family lacked suitable candidates. Apart from him, the only other potential recipient was Liyane Zhouhai, while the ancestors and other family members lacked the necessary foundation to aspire to become a Galactic Ship.
Rather than wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it would be better to utilize the quota's value immediately.
Now, however, the situation was different. After the Asura Emperor obtained the Triple Transmutation Golden Body, he was only one step away from the true ninth rank. Using the last quota on him would almost guarantee his breakthrough to the ninth rank.
A true ninth-rank enslaved being would undoubtedly bring immense value.
Consider that, throughout the development of the Ember Human Civilization, fewer than twenty factions possessed ninth-rank enslaved beings. With the recent expansion of the Ember Flame Civilization's territories, this number might increase, but it would still not exceed a hundred.
If he could create a true ninth-rank enslaved being, Song Chi would not hesitate.
"However, if I do this, I can't use the remaining Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill myself. I'll have to list it as a trade item, along with the two True Immortal Breakthrough Pills. That should be enough."
With his decision made, Song Chi quickly returned to the outside world.
The Asura Emperor, having just reached the half-step ninth rank, needed time to consolidate his new strength.
