No matter how many blood-colored living beings were killed, the promotion success rate of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong did not improve at all.
If I’m not mistaken, Song Chi estimated that these blood-colored living beings probably do not belong to the category of normal Starry Sea species. Otherwise, quite a few Fifth and Sixth Rank blood-colored living beings were just blasted away without any visible changes.
There was no bonus for the warship’s promotion at all, and Song Chi really couldn’t figure out what the "extra reward" the Greedy Wolf Palace Master had previously mentioned could possibly be.
In the meantime, he had also had his enslaved species collect multiple blood-colored living beings’ corpses, only to find that they couldn’t even extract the Primordial Blood inside, making the corpses virtually worthless.
Combining both aspects, Song Chi couldn’t even see any potential value in this unknown life form.
’Could it be to enhance my combat experience?’
Unable to figure out the reason, Song Chi didn’t dwell on it.
To him, since the Greedy Wolf Palace Master had specifically instructed him to kill as many of these blood-colored living beings as possible, given his status, it shouldn’t be an aimless task, so Song Chi’s approach was simple—giving it his all would never be wrong.
Perhaps it was stimulated by that round of "Myriad Purple Cloud Thunder Prison," but after half of the blood-colored beings were blasted to death in an instant, the blood mist in the distance began to pulsate like a heartbeat.
Thump!
Thump!
Each pulse was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, echoing throughout the entire blood-colored space.
Fortunately, Song Chi was inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, with the hull of the Fearless Ship blocking out all the sound.
Song Chi then noticed, to his surprise, that with each pulse, the blood mist in the distance would expand a few times outward. In the face of this unexpected event, a dozen puppet soldiers nearby were engulfed by the expanding blood mist. Even when Song Chi tried to recall them using his brainwave imprint immediately, it was of no use.
After being engulfed by the blood mist, the dozen or so Seventh and Eighth Rank soldier figurines vanished without a trace, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Looking again at the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the attributes of both the Flame Elf Soldier Tree and the Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree components each showed a reduction in their number of soldier figurines.
Before he could delve further into this matter, after three pulses, a large amount of life energy suddenly surged from the now greatly expanded blood mist.
This time, it was even more shocking. Although the number remained at two hundred thousand, not a single Fourth Rank being was in sight. The lowest was Fifth Rank, with more than ten thousand at Sixth Rank, and the Seventh Rank Dominator life energy burst increased dramatically, reaching dozens.
Seeing these scan results, Song Chi’s heart weighed heavy with worry.
Swish, swish, swish!
Once again, massive swathes of blood-red shadows emerged from the blood mist. This time, even with the deceleration effect of the secondary cannons, these shadows were closing in rapidly.
Due to the further advancement of the blood-colored beings’ ranks, their resistance to negative effects such as deceleration and freezing similarly rose.
In just over ten seconds, the distance between them and the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had been nearly halved. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before these hundreds of thousands of blood-colored beings made direct contact with the hull of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, and even considering the ship’s formidable defenses at the same rank, Song Chi absolutely did not want these blood-colored beings to come too close.
Joking aside, these are over a hundred thousand Fifth Rank units, more than ten thousand Sixth Rank, and dozens of Seventh Rank Dominators. If they make unbridled close-range contact, no matter how incredible the defensive power of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, there is a significant risk of submergence.
With this in mind, the Cang Qiong hull quickly reopened once more, and under the control of ten thousand Dome Sky Sub-Brains, five thousand Hellfire Mechs and five thousand Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mechs charged out in an orderly fashion.
As they burst out of the hatch, the volume of these ten thousand miniaturized mechanical combat units began to expand continuously. In the blink of an eye, the Hellfire Mechs were enlarged to a hundred meters in size, while the Moruo Space-Escape Mechs became even more exaggerated, expanding directly to the normal height of ten thousand meters for a Fifth Rank unit.
Having accomplished this, the combat power of both mechs was fully restored.
The powerful computational power provided by the Dome Sky Sub-Brain made the subsequent actions of these ten thousand mechs incredibly swift.
The five thousand Hellfire Mechs, with combat power only at the Fourth Rank, were entirely dispersed on both sides of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, providing long-range fire support with their nuclear energy beam cannons, which had the peak Fourth Rank power.
The five thousand Moruo Space-Escape Mechs, with Fifth Rank combat power and possessing free space-escape ability, all fled into the void. They traversed rapidly within the Void Sea Dark Side, relentlessly hunting those Fifth Rank blood-colored beings using their elusive characteristics.
The simultaneous attack by the five thousand Moruo Space-Escape Mechs produced a highly noticeable effect.
The dense blood shadows approaching rapidly began to fall back as blood-colored meteors.
After the Fifth Rank blood-colored beings were cut down by the Moruo Space-Escape Mechs, their bodies lost all external support and plummeted rapidly under the influence of gravity.
However, these corpses were mostly of the Fifth Rank blood-colored beings, and the Moruo Space-Escape Mechs didn’t yet have the combat power to inflict fatal damage on Sixth Rank units, let alone those of Dominator rank.
Fortunately, Song Chi didn’t need to worry about this, as the Dome Sky Sub-Brain possessed its ability to make judgments. Their targets would only include Fifth Rank units, while they would mainly bypass the Sixth Rank blood-colored beings.
Since the "Plasma Guardian" component was promoted to Golden Quality, its activated "Plasma Shield" applied to large units. Therefore, more than a hundred Moruo Space-Escape Mechs at the forefront were granted the plasma shield, giving them enough buffer time to retreat even if pursued by Sixth Rank or Dominator life forms.
The Moruo Space-Escape Mechs behind them could proactively avoid encounters.
Under these circumstances, while reaping impressive results, the damaged rates of the five thousand Moruo Space-Escape Mechs were remarkably low, which was the most satisfying point for Song Chi.
Don’t assume that just because the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong is equipped with five thousand of them at all times that these Moruo Space-Escape Mechs have already been mass-produced. In fact, they haven’t.
After hundreds of years of in-depth research, the Song Family’s Technology Department has indeed successfully overcome all technical challenges related to these Moruo Space-Escape Mechs and can now independently manufacture and assemble them. However, due to the relatively short time since technology breakthrough, the production lines are limited, and the production pace is quite slow.
Song Chi’s side was only able to accumulate five thousand in number due to the family’s full support, which practically monopolized all currently produced Moruo Space-Escape Mechs from the Dragon Spine Continent.
If not, why would he still keep five thousand Hellfire Mechs?
Compared to the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s current combat power, the Fourth Rank Hellfire Mechs have already fallen behind and won’t catch up even if promoted to a star-annihilation-class warship in the future; the same will apply to the Moruo Space-Escape Mechs.
Intercepting massive numbers of Fifth Rank blood-colored beings en route greatly alleviated the pressure on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, but there was nothing to be done for the Sixth Rank blood-colored beings. Despite the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain switching the ship’s main cannon and super main cannon targets to these Sixth Rank units well in advance, as time passed, there were still thousands of Sixth Rank blood-colored beings coming close to the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hull.
Song Chi even noticed several Seventh Rank blood-colored beings mixed in, with violent blood-colored energy surging in like a vast tide. Even before these thousands of blood-colored beings approached, the energy shield outside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had already started to ripple.
[Warning: Invasion by external alien energy detected; warship energy shield damaged; current energy shield shield value remains at 98.85%...]
[Damage detected on warship energy shield; effects of "Neutron Star Core Pulse" and "Yin Yang · Mutual Birth" feature activated; energy shield shield value restored to 100%...]
After the Holy Light Shield shattered, the Yin Yang counterbalanced energy shield was initially able to maintain equilibrium, but once over a dozen Seventh Rank blood-colored beings appeared simultaneously, the tremendous erosion of Dominator power made it impossible to repair the shield as fast as the energy shield depletion.
