Chapter 1139 - 604: The Tian Hawk Tan Clan (Supplemental for Yesterday)
Buzz Buzz!
As more and more energy converges within the space vortex, two Starry Sky Corpse Evil Seals quickly coalesce at the center of the vortex.
Finally, under the command of two Ninth Rank Corpse Emperors, the two Starry Sky Corpse Evil Seals, carrying the might of the Ninth Rank, push straight towards the Tian Nan Fortress.
These two Corpse Evil Seals are not only condensed from the innate divine abilities of two Ninth Rank Corpse Emperors, but also borrow the origin evil qi emitted from a colorful lower-grade corpse evil attribute strange object. The might has already surpassed ordinary Ninth Rank. Even if the Tian Nan Fortress and two Star River Ships could resist, the losses would not be insignificant.
This is the fundamental reason why all the captains were panicked before.
The starry sea is vast, with countless strange objects, and it’s not just their Torch Civilization that can collect and use Starry Sea Oddities.
As a quasi-top-tier advanced civilization occupying over three hundred river systems, how could the Corpse Emperor Clan have a shortage of Starry Sea Oddities? Solely relying on defense won’t last long.
But now is different, with the Divine Bow Qiongyu here, and the support of the Tian Nan River System’s Titan I Starry Sky Mechanical Fortress, blocking the Corpse Emperor Clan army won’t be too difficult.
Overhead, the Divine Bow Qiongyu’s hull suddenly emitted dazzling light, forming a divine light giant cauldron woven from countless Light Law Imprints. After rapidly condensing, the divine light giant cauldron rushed to meet the two approaching Corpse Evil Seals.
“It’s the Eternal Nine Tripods, the Jiang Clan’s clan secret technique.”
Inside the Tian Nan Fortress, someone recognized the divine light giant cauldron and exclaimed in excitement.
Not long after, the divine light giant cauldron clashed with the two Corpse Evil Seals.
Boom Boom Boom!
Satisfying buzzing sounds arose, the noise when large areas of space collapsed, only to be covered by the intense roar of explosions.
As expected, the two Corpse Evil Seals eventually shattered the divine light giant cauldron. After all, they were launched by two Ninth Rank Corpse Emperors using a colorful mythical strange object, and could not be completely countered by one secret technique, even if it was used by a Ninth Rank living being.
Jiang Yi, the Torch Ship Captain, seemed to have foreseen the outcome. He immediately fired two corroding beams from the bow of his ship, finally dimming the two Corpse Evil Seals.
After this, the two sides seemed to find some kind of balance, and surprisingly, did not attack again, instead engaging in a standoff.
Shenxia Dynasty Third Dragon Fleet Communications Group Chat:
“What’s going on? They came on strong, and now it’s just silence?”
“Do you really want further developments?”
“That’s not what I mean, just feels like they’re sort of anticlimactic.”
“You’re wrong, this is called doing the best for all involved and cutting losses in time.”
“With Divine Bow Qiongyu in place and backed by Tian Nan Fortress, this Corpse Emperor Clan army alone will have a hard time threatening the Torch Civilization’s territory behind us in a short time. Even if they could take Tian Nan Fortress, the time required would be long, and the casualties on their side would be unestimatable.”
“Under these circumstances, tying down one Ninth Rank Torch Warship without losing a soldier is the optimal solution!”
…
Compared to the discussions among ordinary captains below, the topics in the combined group chat above among the Star-Annihilating Starships, Star River Ships, and the Divine Bow Qiongyu are more in-depth.
“Ancestor Yi, are we just going to exhaust ourselves here with them?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, this Corpse Emperor Clan fleet will likely leave soon. While we’re on an expedition to the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Galaxy Cluster, they will speed up the occupation of their river system cluster significantly, and won’t actually waste time here!”
“But we can’t gamble, otherwise if something unexpected happens, the Four Great Empires’ operation this time will be all for naught. Thousands of years later, we may be facing a Mythical Eight-Armed Snake Demon, and under the reversal of offense and defense, we’ll be nailed to the pillar of shame for the entire Torch Humanity!”
…
Snake Mother River System, a sixth-level Life Floating Land.
Bang Bang Bang!
Amidst violent cannon fire, a large number of Heavenly Serpent Warships chased a pitch-black Fearless Ship, rushing out of the Floating Land Shield.
It happened because not long ago, Song Chi infiltrated this Floating Land using a Mirror Image Warship, plundered a major Snake Demon Temple’s Secret Vault within, and was discovered at the last moment, leading to the pursuit by a large number of Eight-Armed Snake Demons.
After breaking through the Floating Land Shield, Song Chi decisively activated the Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman component.
After two consecutive uses, the Mirror Image Warship had already escaped several light-years away.
Just as Song Chi was about to take advantage of this buffer gap to initiate a warship jump, a sudden burst of intense energy fluctuation from afar made him cancel this action.
Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon·”Mirage Shadow,” activate!
With the activation of this silver concealment feature and the “extra rank enhancement of concealment authority” feature of Void Membrane, the Mirror Image Warship instantly vanished into the depths of the void.
Under these circumstances, even a Seventh Rank Dominator holding an Eighth Rank Gold Detection Oddity couldn’t detect the existence of the Mirror Image Warship.
After completing this step, both engines of the Mirror Image Warship burst forth, propelling it rapidly towards the source of energy fluctuations.
Within less than half an hour, utilizing the Void Escape Orb once and the Angel Wing Escape feature, the Mirror Image Warship successfully arrived at its destination.
Energy shock waves still occasionally erupted, and as for the instigators of this energy storm, they turned out to be three Seventh Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons, and their opponents were two Star-Annihilating Starships.
Concealed at the edge of the battlefield, Song Chi did not hastily make a move. Far away in the Snake Tooth River System, his true self showed a trace of puzzlement.
“This star domain is located in the south-central part of the Snake Mother River System, at least a hundred thousand light-years away from the real front line at the southernmost river system. These two Star-Annihilating Starships have penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and now they’ve engaged head-on with three Seventh Rank Snake Demon Dominators?”
Finding it incomprehensible, Song Chi did not dwell on it. These matters had nothing to do with him, and his current focus was solely on those three Snake Demon Dominators.
For over seventy years, since there has been no large-scale battle after the first war, the progress of the “Soul Devouring Altar” still remained at 21% in the second stage, which felt rather slow to him.
If he could seize the opportunity to slay a Snake Demon Dominator here, the progress of the “Soul Devouring Altar” should have a significant surge.
While pondering this, a cry of an eagle came from the battlefield ahead. Looking up, he saw two phantom giant eagles formed by laws enveloping two Star-Annihilating Starships respectively, providing them with additional defense.
“Star-Crowned Bright Eagle, Bright Eagle State, which Gate under the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty is this from?”
This Snake Mother River System was initially the route of advancement for the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, so Song Chi naturally narrowed the scope down to those under the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty.
Considering the factor that there were at least two Star-Annihilating Starships, Song Chi quickly came to a conclusion.
Highly likely it was the Tian Ying Tan family of the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty.
This Tian Ying Tan family is a giant Gate of the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, with a Galaxy Captain among them, and they have two Star-Annihilating Starships.
However, no matter how illustrious the name of Tian Ying Tan family, it does not change the fact that the current battle situation is in a disadvantage.
Two against three, and among them, one Eight-Armed Snake Demon is at the Seventh Rank Peak, single-handedly holding off one Star-Annihilating Starship, while the other two Snake Demon Dominators, utilizing dual eight-armed suppression, press down on the other Star-Annihilating Starship.
Fortunately, Torch Warships are renowned for individual combat power, coupled with the fact that the two Annihilation Starship Captains hold high status, and the components on the warships are well-configured, this allows them to barely stabilize the situation.
However, if this continues for a long time, the outcome would inevitably favor the Eight-Armed Snake Demon side.
Knowing this well in mind, Song Chi remained fully dormant, completely ignoring the gradually breaking hulls and warship armor of the two Star-Annihilating Starships.
“Kid, you’ve been hiding long enough, come out and lend a hand!”
Song Chi: Σ(°△°|||)︴
This voice transmission reaching the Mirror Image Warship through some unknown means was truly unexpected for Song Chi.
Even under dual concealment, he had still been discovered, which means one of the two Star-Annihilating Starships ahead must be equipped with a Sky Patrol Radar of no less than Black Quality.
However, despite the surprise, Song Chi seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything, continuing his concealment in the void, with no intention to reveal himself and assist the two Star-Annihilating Starships in confronting the enemy.
Several seconds later, as expected, the voice transmission sounded again.
“I said you kid, I noticed you long ago, still hiding and concealing?”
“Help out quickly, there will be benefits for you afterwards!”
Only when these words were uttered, did Song Chi respond with a mental control reply.
“Specifically?”
“You…”
These three treasured words caught the other party off guard, causing them to be speechless for a moment, before finally, after a long pause, the voice transmission came through again.
“An Extreme Stone, will that do?”
“Alright, I recorded that, remember your promise, also, let me have the final kill.”
Regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, without the ability to sign a contract agreement, these are merely verbal guarantees. As for betting on the other party’s integrity? It’s really out of the question.
It’s just a matter of firing a shot from afar, it’s obviously beneficial to obtain the Extreme Stone, and even if he doesn’t get it, he doesn’t lose anything, especially since he doesn’t have to send the Mirror Image Warship into close quarters to take risks.
Song Chi’s mind spun rapidly, and several components on the Mirror Image Warship were activated by him simultaneously.
Extreme Stone, one of the few special resources which might be used when a Fearless Ship ascends to a Star-Annihilating Starship, holds quite a significant allure for him.
“Can you control the Seventh Rank Snake Demon on the left side? Just for a second!”
As the Super Main Cannon of the warship completed its final charge, Song Chi seemingly asked a rhetorical question inside the Mirror Image Warship, and next, the Seventh Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon on the far left of the battlefield really froze for a moment.
Subsequently, a blood-colored spear roared out from the side of the void, before the Seventh Rank Snake Demon could break free from the stiffness, the blood spear fiercely impaled the Seventh Rank Snake Demon’s head.
Hard for the eyes to capture, before the blood-colored spear landed, there was actually a blood light that first penetrated into this body, which was the “Hunting God’s Weakness Mark” that could trigger double the damage.
The blood spear landed on the head of the Seventh Rank Snake Demon, and a violent energy storm suddenly scattered in all directions.
Apart from the blood spear condensed by the “Blood Judgment,” a miniature black hole appeared afterwards, and along with the secondary explosion of the Weakness Mark, it caused tremendous damage to the Seventh Rank Peak Snake Demon Dominator.
Of course, an insta-kill with one strike is impossible, unless Song Chi uses the last High-level Thunder Attribute Law Crystal at hand to activate the “Nine-layered Purple Cloud Destruction Tribulation Thunder” of the “Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon,” in addition to the Weakness Mark, Black Hole Rapid Explosion, etc., then there might be some possibility.
However, this was enough to turn the tide, with the serious injury of the Seventh Rank Peak Snake Demon Dominator, the Bright Eagle Tan family’s Star-Annihilating Starship gradually gained the upper hand, and it, keeping its promise, left the final blow to the Mirror Image Warship’s side.
