Chapter 1092 - 1092: 578: [King of Dinghai] · Group Amplification Component_2
After completing this step, Song Wujiang did not speak, but merely glanced at the two of them.
Song Chi immediately understood.
“Ancestor, do you mean because of this special energy field?”
As he spoke, he and Song Yan simultaneously turned to examine the special energy field surrounding them.
At the same time, Song Wujiang’s voice sounded again.
“Yes, this energy field is called a Law Force Field, or Law Field. Only after a law reaches the Perfection Tier can a biological entity form such a special energy field, which you can consider as a unique domain unleashed by the organism itself. It has various powerful and wondrous effects, with making it difficult for outsiders to gaze upon being the most basic.
Of course, the inner and outer isolation characteristics of the Torch Warship can well accommodate this. Except for the field radiation unique to those blood and flesh Evil Gods, other Dominator Creature fields have little impact on the captain inside the Torch Warship, which explains why you didn’t feel abnormal when facing the Ancient Mother Empress and the King Worm before.”
With this explanation, the three followed the elder of the Luo family into a box at the top of the auction house, from where they could easily overlook the entire auction hall.
Not long after their arrival, a large number of Torch Ship Captains also entered the auction hall.
Within just over an hour, the whole auction hall was packed with over ten thousand people.
Among these ten thousand, at least all were of the Cruiser Captain level, with no fewer than a thousand Zhulu Warship Captains.
“Including us, there are a total of twelve Annihilation Starship Captains attending the auction, perhaps nearly half of the Annihilation Starship Captains from the Five Disks River System Group are here!”
The speaker was Song Yan, who just took a careful look and found that there were twelve Annihilation Starship Captains present this time, not counting those from the Immortal Powers who only sent one or two Sixth Rank Captains.
Just this point alone is enough to show the scale of the auction, and one can imagine how intense the subsequent bidding will be.
As the seats in the auction house filled up, the organizer of this auction, the Chigu Luo family, quickly announced the official start of the auction.
The person in charge of this auction was an Ultimate Fearless Ship Captain of the Luo family. With a light wave of his hand, the first item was brought up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Luo Yuantang, and without further ado, the first auction item is a strand of Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source. Everyone is free to bid, and the auction officially begins now.”
As a strand of Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source named [Cold Bone Flame] was revealed, the atmosphere in the auction house intensified dramatically.
This was precisely the intent of the Chigu Luo family, otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought out a strand of Silver Tier Upgrade Fire Source equivalent to a Golden Component for auction directly.
In the end, this strand of [Cold Bone Flame] was secured by a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captain for one drop of Seventh-Order Evil God Blood plus 100 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin.
Some captain did bid a Golden Sanctuary Component, but evidently, the Luo family was more interested in that drop of Seventh-Order Evil God Blood.
Once the Luo family confirmed this transaction, many captains present had the same thought.
“It seems the Luo family is ready to go all-in, attempting to achieve an Annihilation Starship breakthrough in the last few years.”
…
In the top box, Song Yan whispered:
“If they had this idea, why didn’t they make the attempt earlier? Even if they succeed in the upgrade now, it’s unlikely for that captain to break through the Seventh-Order Guiding Technique.”
Song Chi shared his opinion on this doubt as well.
“On the surface, it does seem reasonable, but the Luo family’s heritage spans over twenty thousand years, and even they might find it challenging to entirely clear up their internal factions. Based on this point, internal bickering is inevitable.”
Upon hearing this, Song Yan thought of the Eagle Family and quickly accepted the explanation.
After the great territorial expansion war of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy, the Chenxing Principality was elevated to the Chenxing Kingdom with its jurisdiction increased by more than tenfold. Though nearly two-thirds was taken by the Chenxing Clan and the Song Family, several other duchy forces also consumed more than they could handle.
However, even in this scenario, the Eagle Family only managed to produce a Fearless Ship Captain a few decades ago, and that under the severe pressure of the Four Great Empires’ total war declaration.
Due to their practically pathological internal friction, several other forces in the Chenxing Kingdom have already overtaken them.
With such a living example before him, Song Yan naturally understood the likelihood of Song Chi’s statement.
At this point, Song Chi added:
“Nonetheless, under the current heavy pressure, this Chigu Luo family has managed to achieve compromise among its factions. If the subsequent upgrade succeeds, it might well signal a renaissance for them.”
Both Song Wujiang and Song Yan nodded in agreement with this point.
If another Annihilation Starship Captain does emerge, then from this moment on, whether actively or passively, the Luo family will only project a unified voice. For a power with a heritage of over twenty thousand years, this would be the best news.
After all, given their foundation, if they can achieve uniform command, the energy they can unleash is unimaginable.
However, the potential for this might not be substantial, since the other Immortal Clans of the Tianqi Kingdom are not mere bystanders.
Ultimately, it will depend on whether these forces agree.
As they conversed, the auction was already halfway through, with many items being sold, including Silver Legend Components, Red Upgrade Fire Sources, and Sixth Rank Enslaved Species, among others.
In the midst, Song Chi also managed to secure an item, a small amount of Antimatter Source. The [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] did not reach its limit after advancing to Black Quality, as it can still continue to consume Antimatter Source for further evolution.
However, the amount of Antimatter Source needed is enormous, and the small amount acquired this time is less than 1/20th of what is required.
“Next are the final five centerpiece items of this auction, and now for the first one.”
As the auction neared its end, it finally came time for the final centerpiece items.
However, just as the auction house was in a frenzy, the fifth last item only emitted a silver glow.
“What’s going on? Silver components can serve as the finale?”
…
Immediately, the entire auction house was in an uproar.
Luckily, the Luo’s Ultimate Fearless Ship Captain spoke out quickly, calming the growing chaos.
“Everyone, please remain calm. Let’s assess the attributes of this component first, shall we?”
With that, he displayed the attribute panel of the silver component directly.
Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor lv0
Quality: Silver
Feature: Increase loaded warship hull durability by 110%
Feature 2: Increase loaded warship hull armor protection value by 15%
Feature 3: Required slot position for loading remains constant at 1
Feature 4: Dark Star Protection
Consumption: 30/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: After loading, the warship will bear a Dark Star Halo, which will trigger upon being attacked to autonomously halve the external attack might, lasting for 5 minutes.
Buffer: 24 hours
…
{Dark Star Protection: Consumes 100,000 Spectral Energy Points, links up to a maximum of one thousand ally warships, enhancing the Shield Value of their Energy Shields by 15% and armor protection value on the hull by 15% for 5 minutes, with a cooldown time fixed at 720 hours.}
After viewing the attributes of this component, the breathing of all the captains in the auction house intensified.
This [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor], though just a silver component, is a bona fide group amplification component.
In other words, this component is a silver strategic level component, with value no less than a standard Golden Sanctuary Component. Furthermore, its value will be greatly elevated in the impending civilization warfare.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly heated, a magnetic male voice sounded from a box atop the auction house.
“Has the noble attempted to enhance this component? How many warships can it link after reaching the seventh rank?”
As soon as these words were spoken, small whispers arose below.
“It’s the [Giant Whale King], the Sun family is also interested in this component!”
