Chapter 765: Galactic Ship—Skygale of Tianxu
Chapter 765: Galactic Ship—Skygale of Tianxu
Gentle waves of warm energy, carried by the breeze, continuously swept across every corner of the Floating Continent. Like the rising tide, they repeatedly washed over the shores, infusing every part of the Floating Continent with vitality as they passed.
In the special energy-gathering areas on the surface of the Floating Continent, layers of white mist would even form, a manifestation of the highly concentrated pure energy. In these regions, the energy density could be hundreds or even thousands of times higher than in other areas.
At the peak of a mountain-like formation that seemed to hang upside down, a nearly twenty-thousand-kilometer-long Annihilator Ship hovered silently. As the dense, mist-like pure energy continued to pour in, the Ascension success rate on the ship's [Ship Ascension Task Panel] began to change.
Through the ethereal form left in the ship's main control room, Song Chi, standing on the shoulder of the Asura Emperor above him, closely monitored the ship's Ascension success rate.
[Ship Ascension Task (Skygale of Tianxu)]
[Current Ascension Success Rate: 75.1001% (Initial 0.0001% + Bathed in the Blood of a Ninth-Rank Patriarch of Veritas 11% + Bathed in the Blood of a Ninth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon 6% + Bathed in the Blood of an Eighth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon and an Eighth-Rank Star Sea Ape 4% + Bathed in the Blood of a Seventh-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon and a Seventh-Rank Star Sea Ape 1.1% + Chaotic Blood Organs 7% + Ninth-Rank Chaotic Demon Ape Spirit Bone 13% + Superb Energy Crystals 6% + Seventh-Rank Blood Core 2% + Ninth-Rank Sovereign Essence Blood 12% + Special Resource Formula 10% + Eighth-Rank Peak Evil God Blood 3%)]
[Ascension Special Resource Formula (3/3): Dragon Blood Stone 1, Earth Mother Stone 1, Law Origin Core *1]
[Additional Ascension Resources: Ninth-Rank Sovereign Essence Blood, Chaotic Blood Organs, Ninth-Rank Chaotic Demon Ape Spirit Bone, Eighth-Rank Peak Evil God Blood, Seventh-Rank Blood Core, Superb Energy Crystals]
[Bathed in Alien Blood: Ninth-Rank Patriarch of Veritas (11%), Ninth-Rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon (6%)...]
75.1001%.
This number was certainly not low. Skygale of Tianxu was a Galactic Ship, and among all Annihilator Ships attempting to ascend to Galactic Ships, the average Ascension success rate was usually between 20% and 30%. Achieving a 75% success rate was something most people could only dream of.
However, for Song Chi, this was far from a high Ascension success rate. Previously, when Skygale of Tianxu attempted to ascend to an Annihilator Ship, the success rate had reached 97%.
Of course, Song Chi knew that these two scenarios were not comparable. The difficulty of an Annihilator Ship ascending to a Galactic Ship was fundamentally different from a Dreadnought Ship ascending to an Annihilator Ship. The difficulty increased exponentially as a Flame-Ember Starship continued to ascend to higher ranks.
But the current 75% did not yet include the boost from the Floating Continent's origin energy tide.
Under the baptism of the Ninth-Rank Floating Continent's origin energy tide, Skygale of Tianxu's Ascension success rate continued to change.
[Current Ascension Success Rate: 75.1001%]
...
[Current Ascension Success Rate: 76.7081%]
...
[Current Ascension Success Rate: 79.6885%]
...
[Current Ascension Success Rate: 80.8861%]
As the energy tide rose and fell, the peak of the ship's Ascension success rate gradually increased.
When the success rate stabilized at 80.8861%, Song Chi's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he initiated the ship's formal Ascension.
He knew that 80% was not the upper limit of the boost provided by the Ninth-Rank Floating Continent's origin energy tide, but since he had not planned for a single successful attempt from the beginning, he needed to reserve some buffer time for the second chance provided by the Seventh-Rank Time Fruit.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As Skygale of Tianxu formally began its Ascension, the ship's hull began to shake violently, emitting waves of light.
Seeing this, Song Chi's breath momentarily stopped.
An 80% Ascension success rate was not low, but the risk was still significant. Given the one-shot nature of a ship's Ascension, he couldn't help but worry.
The process did not last long. The ship's shaking abruptly stopped, and Song Chi's eyes trembled. He immediately noticed that the light on the ship's hull had completely dissipated, as if the entire ship had been shrouded in a layer of darkness—this was the sign of a failed Ascension.
Fortunately, this scene lasted only a moment. The Seventh-Rank Time Fruit, which had been integrated into Skygale of Tianxu's hull, immediately took effect. The originally grayish-white hull began to regain its luster.
The ship's hull then shook once more, and the second Ascension attempt had begun.
Song Chi glanced at the situation. By this point, the external energy tide had reached its peak, and the ship's Ascension success rate had soared to 82.008%.
High above, Song Chi focused intently. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
But to say he was so nervous that he was losing his composure would be an exaggeration.
After all, even if this second Ascension attempt failed, he still had a third layer of insurance—the Chronal Chessboard.
Specifically, the "time reversal" characteristic of the Chronal Chessboard.
It would reset everything to ten seconds before, allowing Skygale of Tianxu to attempt a third Ascension and restore the already used Seventh-Rank Time Fruit, giving it two more attempts.
If not for this, he wouldn't have rushed the ship's Ascension at a success rate below 80%.
Fortunately, the result didn't come to this final step. A few seconds later, Skygale of Tianxu's hull suddenly emitted a brilliant, dazzling light, followed by a rapid expansion.
Skygale of Tianxu's second Ascension was undoubtedly successful.
It was now transforming from an Annihilator Ship into a Galactic Ship.
In a short time, the ship, originally less than twenty thousand kilometers long, had expanded a hundredfold.
When the expansion and expansion were complete, Song Chi estimated that the now Ascended Galactic Ship, Skygale of Tianxu, had reached an astonishing two million one hundred thousand kilometers in length.
This undoubtedly proved the immense potential of Skygale of Tianxu.
Multiple Colored Myth components and numerous golden and black components far exceeded those of newly Ascended Galactic Ships.
To say that even veteran Galactic Ships that had remained at this stage for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, might not match Skygale of Tianxu in terms of configuration would be no exaggeration.
Without giving these details much attention, Song Chi, upon boarding Skygale of Tianxu, immediately used the [Ruyi Suixin Hu] to reduce the ship's length to one million kilometers.
This was the standard length of a Galactic Ship, which would help him avoid drawing too much attention from outside observers.
Entering the ship's main control room, Song Chi began to carefully examine the overall changes in Skygale of Tianxu.
First and foremost, after Ascending to a Galactic Ship, the ship now had an additional star river cannon slot and a second planet-destroying cannon slot. The number of super main cannons, main cannons, and secondary cannons had also doubled.
In addition, the projection multiplier for the sixteen secondary cannon modules had increased from ten thousand times during the Annihilator Ship stage to one hundred thousand times.
This meant that once a secondary cannon was loaded into one of the sixteen slots, it would project one hundred thousand identical secondary cannons across various areas of the ship. With all sixteen slots loaded, this would be equivalent to one million six hundred thousand secondary cannons.
Even though the power of the secondary cannons was limited, the sheer number of simultaneous cannon fire could still create a significant deterrent, especially against enemies like the Star Sea insectoids, known for their numbers.
Moreover, after Ascending to a Galactic Ship, the ship's hull provided an even greater attribute boost to all basic components, increasing from 500% during the Annihilator Ship stage to 600%.
Undoubtedly, this successful Ascension had fundamentally transformed Skygale of Tianxu's combat capabilities.
Currently, the only drawback Song Chi could think of was the limitation of his own Flame Seed.
The Black Ember Seed was not weak, but for a Galactic Ship, the component reinforcement limit had already reached the tenth rank. If Skygale of Tianxu did not have any Colored Myth components, it would mean that none of the components could be reinforced to level 100.
However, Skygale of Tianxu now had seven Colored Myth components, and Song Chi had two Mythic Souls, enough to reinforce two components to level 100.
Don't be misled by the mere two pieces; the combat power they can amplify is unimaginable.
To put it this way, after its Ascension, the Tianxu Skygale's combat power can only be considered that of a seasoned Galactic Ship. However, if just two of its components could be upgraded to level 100, it would immediately take a step forward, crossing the threshold into the realm of Ultimate Galactic Ships.
Even the least experienced Ultimate Galactic Ship is far superior to a seasoned Galactic Ship.
'Should I use the [Time Source Crystal]?'
Instinctively, Song Chi's mind once again entertained this thought.
If he didn't hesitate to use the [Time Source Crystal], he could immediately create a colored lower-stage ascension fire source using the [Swallowing Sky Python Shed].
However, he quickly shook his head.
The sudden summons from the Divine Empire’s ancestral court were indeed strange, but he still had eighty years. Rather than rushing, it was more important to focus on how to break through his Guidance Technique to level 80 in the coming decades.
After all, if his Guidance Technique didn't break through, he would only be considered a quasi-Galactic Ship Captain. He wouldn't be able to unleash even half of the Tianxu Skygale's combat power, let alone its full potential.
Of course, before that, he needed to visit the ruins of the Immortal Domain Continent. Although the eighth-rank void demon and the mirror battleship were currently there, it wasn't enough. He also needed to send the Asura Emperor over.
Only then would the chances of finding the [Fire in Wood] in the coming decades be significantly increased.
The battleship's engines roared, and under his control, the Tianxu Skygale was about to soar into the sky, heading beyond the Monto Continent.
At that moment, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation suddenly emerged from a distance. Turning to look, he saw a massive beam of light piercing the sky from the ground, breaking through the Monto Continent and disappearing into the dark starry universe.
This sudden scene made Song Chi pause in his actions.
"This... This is a ninth-rank energy fluctuation!"
Feeling the intense energy wave spreading, he could determine that the energy fluctuation at the center of the beam was definitely of the ninth-rank level.
The only explanation for this anomaly was that [Wilton Klein]'s flagship had completed its Ascension.
Only a newly ascended hyperdimensional flagship could create such a disturbance.
However, before he could fully confirm his conclusion, the towering beam of light suddenly dimmed and then completely dissipated.
"Failed, huh..."
"Despite occupying the core Core Space of a ninth-rank Floating Continent, it still ended in failure..."
Song Chi's brows furrowed, and the joy he felt from the Tianxu Skygale's successful Ascension dissipated. All that remained was a sigh.
While the Tianxu Skygale's successful Ascension was certainly a cause for celebration, Song Chi had a longer-term perspective in mind.
An immortal great clan with a heritage of over ten thousand years couldn't be simple. Combined with the Ascension boost from a ninth-rank Floating Continent, it still failed to succeed.
From this, it was clear just how difficult it was for a Galactic Ship to Ascend to a hyperdimensional flagship.
He couldn't help but relate this to the Tianxu Skygale.
After this Ascension, the Tianxu Skygale would no longer have legendary resources like the [Time Fruit] to guarantee its future Ascension. This meant that the difficulty of advancing to a hyperdimensional flagship would increase exponentially. As its Captain, how could he not feel the same?
After a long sigh, the Tianxu Skygale firmly broke through the Monto Continent's Floating Continent shield.
The future would certainly be difficult, but one must always look forward.
After all, he was only in his early three thousand years, and he still had a long time to consider and prepare for this.
He should also think positively. At least the [Beidou Seven Star Hall], [Xianqin Heavy Industries Group], and the four major empires' imperial families had Captains who successfully Ascended to hyperdimensional flagships.
Moreover, over a hundred years ago, the old ancestor of the Dantai family also successfully Ascended, though it was only to a Galactic Ship. This clearly demonstrated that with the energy tide boost from a high-rank Floating Continent, the chances of successful Ascension were still much higher than the chances of failure, so there was no need to be overly pessimistic.
...
In the ruins of the Immortal Domain Continent, under the perpetual darkness, an Annihilator Ship was speeding through the void.
Suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation emerged in the ship's main control room, and Song Chi appeared out of thin air.
Without paying attention to the unchanging dark environment outside, he summoned the Asura Emperor from the [Dimensional Space Stone] and gave the replicated [skybrain] instructions to accelerate its actions and prioritize the search for the [Fire in Wood]. He then chose to log into the Market of All Heavens.
At this moment, the mirror battleship was on its way to the location of the other part of the [Fate Compass Disk] it had traced during its first visit to the Immortal Domain Continent. Due to the spatial suppression of the Star Continent and the frequent calls from Song Chi, it still had some distance to go.
Feeling that time was insufficient, Song Chi didn't linger and silently prayed that he could gather the missing [Fire in Wood] before the gathering at the Xianqin ancestral court.
[Stone Fire], [Wood Fire], [Air Fire]
These three special flames, though unique to the Immortal Domain Continent, were not the only ones of their kind. According to Song Chi, there were many of these flames on the Immortal Domain Continent in the past. Because of this, he had great confidence that he could gather all three of the Three Pure Fires.
In the Pantheon Market, within the level 80 [All-Attribute Training Room].
Song Chi, who had just emerged from seclusion, began a new period of seclusion.
Beside him, a seventh-rank Mist Half-Serpent stood silently, providing a certain amount of support for his subsequent training.
For someone preparing to break through to level 80 in the Guidance Technique, the assistance provided by the seventh-rank Mist Half-Serpent was actually quite limited. However, with time being of the essence, Song Chi couldn't afford to be picky. Even the slightest bit of support was beneficial.
Time passed, and forty years flew by in a blink.
One day, while performing his daily Guidance Technique training, Song Chi suddenly opened his eyes. He could feel that his body had reached its optimal state.
Seizing the moment, he swallowed a ten-thousand-year-old [Blood Spirit Ginseng Fruit] and reached into his Storage Capsule to retrieve something.
This was a [Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid], and it was mixed with the powder of a 150,000-year-old deep water clam pearl.
To say that this single vial of [Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid] was no less valuable than a silver legendary artifact would be an understatement.
Since the Song Family was unable to cultivate Heaven Star plants on its own, this vial of [Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid] was obtained at a significant cost from the [Beidou Seven Star Hall].
As for the 150,000-year-old deep water clam pearl, over the thousands of years, he had cultivated countless batches of deep water clam pearls in his Secret Realm, but only one had reached this age.
Expressionless, Song Chi poured the [Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid] into his mouth.
Immediately, he closed his eyes again and, leveraging the immense heat rising within him, focused on breaking through his Guidance Technique.
[Blood Spirit Ginseng Fruit]
[Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid] mixed with a 150,000-year-old deep water clam pearl
These were the best auxiliary resources he could currently provide. If he couldn't use this opportunity to break through to level 80 in the Guidance Technique, he would find it very difficult to complete this task in the coming decades.
Thus, while this wasn't a matter of life or death, it was a do-or-die situation, and he couldn't afford any distractions.
Time ticked by, and Song Chi's body became like a small furnace, with intense heat waves continuously radiating outward.
This was a sign that the energy within his body was excessive and his body was struggling to contain it.
Had he not pre-emptively used the [Triple Transformation Golden Body Pill] to transform his body into the special [Triple Transformation Golden Body], it might not have been just a matter of continuously emitting heat. It was uncertain whether his seventh-rank body could even withstand the energy.
There was a high probability that it would explode due to the overwhelming energy.
Fortunately, the All-Attribute Training Room was powerful enough. The energy that overflowed from Song Chi's body was confined within the enclosed space of the training room, without affecting the Market of All Heavens.
At one moment, Song Chi's body turned completely red, and his eyes snapped open, revealing the shadow of his Double Pupils.
Something seemed to tear apart.
Immediately, the life force emanating from Song Chi's body began to surge, breaking through the eighth-rank barrier.
Once his Guidance Technique broke through, his entire physique began to rapidly strengthen. Visibly, the layer of fiery red on his skin began to fade.
This was a sign that his body's endurance had greatly increased. As he fully adapted to the eighth-rank Guidance Technique, Song Chi began to rapidly circulate his Spiritual Energy.
Instantly, his body transformed from a furnace continuously releasing immense heat into a black hole that devoured energy. The energy that had previously overflowed began to be reabsorbed into his body.
This energy, derived from the [Blood Spirit Ginseng Fruit] and the [Heaven Star Body-Forging Liquid], was extremely mild and easy to absorb. Once it was fully reabsorbed, Song Chi's newly broken-through eighth-rank Guidance Technique stabilized.
