Chapter 1012: Chapter 529: Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with 3 Black Supreme Parts

“I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

With a single thought, the antimatter source in Song Chi’s hand was thrown toward the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] module.

As golden light flooded the entire main control room, Song Chi could feel certain fundamental changes taking place within the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine].

Time passed, and the antimatter source was gradually fully absorbed by the engine, while the golden light within the warship slowly began transitioning toward black.

Finally, at a certain moment, the golden light completely transformed into Eternal Dark Black Light.

“Has the evolution been completed…”

Fixing his gaze sharply on the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] module, a brand-new attribute panel quickly appeared in Song Chi’s eyes.

Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine lv70

Quality: Black

Feature: Energy supply efficiency increased by an additional 320%

Feature 2: Engine thrust increased by an additional 320%

Feature 3: High Overload Burst

Feature 4: For all ship modules at or below this module’s quality, energy consumption reduced by 60%

Feature 5: Antimatter Source Evolution

Feature 6: Dual Engine

Consumption: 1542/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Energy Supply: 140,000/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Buffer after overload: 30 minutes

Spectral Energy Pool: 10,000,000 (capable of storing 10 million Spectral Energy Points)

…

{High Overload Burst: Consumes 300,000 Spectral Energy Points, the engine immediately enters a high overload operating state, energy supply efficiency increases by 2000%, thrust increases by 2000%, lasts for 240 minutes, buffer time is 10 hours.}

{Antimatter Source Evolution: This engine can devour high-purity antimatter sources for gradual evolution. When the devoured antimatter sources reach a certain quantity, the engine’s quality will evolve beyond gold (Note: Upon reaching its limit, this trait will autonomously transform into a brand-new trait).}

{Dual Engine: The installed warship can load a second engine, providing more powerful propulsion and mobility. Note: The second engine’s quality must not exceed that of this engine.}

After reviewing the attributes, Song Chi’s breathing instantly quickened.

Following the absorption of the antimatter source, the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] not only successfully evolved to Black Supreme Quality, but more importantly, the fifth trait, “Antimatter Source Evolution,” astonishingly had not transformed into a brand-new trait.

What did this signify?

It signified that Black Supreme was not the limit for the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine], and it could still devour more antimatter sources to advance further, aiming for a Colorful engine.

“That batch of Mall Credits back then was so worth it. A Colorful Myth—this is something even those Eighth Rank Torch Ship Captains would drool over!”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Song Chi continued to carefully examine the specific attributes of the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine].

After evolving to Black Quality, its energy supply efficiency had reached a terrifying 140,000 per second. This was an extremely staggering figure, and Song Chi could foresee that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would no longer have to worry about energy supply for a long time to come.

Next was the Spectral Energy Pool. When it was at Gold Quality, the Spectral Energy Pool’s capacity was only 5 million, but now it had directly doubled to 10 million. This would further allow the components installed on the warship to freely utilize their feature abilities.

Finally, there was the new sixth trait gained after evolving to Black Supreme Quality.

This “Dual Engine” trait was truly the cream of the crop.

In other words, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could now install a second engine module. Although there were some restrictions, considering the caliber of the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine], what kind of quality would be acceptable?

Black Supreme—such an engine was already rare, and it could still evolve in the future. Just imagining what the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would look like equipped with two Colorful engines made Song Chi’s heart surge with uncontrollable excitement.

With great effort, Song Chi shifted his attention away from the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] module and turned toward the [Dome Sky Brain System] module.

The Intermediate-level Intelligent Brain had already been acquired, so the module could now be enhanced to the Seventh Rank.

After ten consecutive enhancements, the [Dome Sky Brain System] successfully advanced to the Seventh Rank.

After reaching the Seventh Rank, the module’s attributes naturally saw significant improvements. What Song Chi cared about most was the “Fully Automated Sub-brain Intelligence Mechanism” trait. After advancing to the Seventh Rank, the number of sub-brains that could be divided at one time soared from 3,000 to 10,000. If sufficient mechanical units were prepared on the warship, this trait could really become a devastating trump card.

After dealing with the [Dome Sky Brain System] module, he took out the [Red Vault Jump Device].

He had just enough Titanium Crystals to enhance a Silver Quality module to the Seventh Rank, but unfortunately, this enhancement required a resource called “Space Sand,” which he currently didn’t have.

“It seems the Family Merit Hall has some…”

Muttering softly, Song Chi recalled the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Without immediately returning to the Dragon Spine Continent, Song Chi instead took a Fifth Rank Void Demon and strolled around [Holy Light City].

A few hours later, he successfully rented a shop on a main boulevard of the city and, as a matter of course, established a proprietorship under his name in [Holy Light City].

The purpose of the shop was simple—he pulled out strange objects and mineral resources that had remained unsold in the Ruins Market for years, intending to see if they could sell in [Holy Light City].

Additionally, he intentionally put up high offers for neutron star remains and strange objects that possessed the “double effective range” trait.

After setting up everything, Song Chi left an Ethereal Body to tend the shop and assigned the Fifth Rank Void Demon to guard it, before returning to the Dragon Spine Continent through the Ruins Market.

On the way to the Merit Hall at the base of the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, he logged into the [Shaking Light Star Tower] to check if there had been any updates to the Secret Realm exploration mission.

However, not much time had passed since the mission was issued, and no new information had been added yet.

Relieved, Song Chi quickly logged out and proceeded toward the Merit Hall, where he obtained all the Space Sand materials reserved by his family. Song Chi then chose to return to [Holy Light City].

He had already decided that he would spend years, possibly even decades, in [Holy Light City] to find a suitable “double effective range” trait.

And so, time flowed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

During these five years, Song Chi spent any free time wandering around the city, looking for those unique strange objects. At the same time, he did not neglect his comprehension of the Power of Laws, nor his cultivation progress with the Guidance Technique, which advanced steadily.

Unfortunately, the designated trait remained elusive, the level of the Guidance Technique saw no breakthroughs, and there was little progress in his mastery of three Laws.

Realizing he seemed to be stuck in some kind of bottleneck, Song Chi did not leave it to chance. Instead, he left the Fifth Rank Void Demon in [Holy Light City], set up a Spatial Anchor Point, and returned directly to Dragon Abyss City.

Over the course of five years, Dragon Abyss City had undergone significant changes. Most notably, there was a drastic decrease in the number of Hidden Pulse core and backbone clansmen within the city.

This did not surprise Song Chi, as two years earlier, the Hidden Pulse faction had begun the construction of cities in the Shattered Sea region.

Using the teleportation point in the southern part of Dragon Abyss City, Song Chi transported to a location 200 light-years to the south. Emerging from an underground teleportation point, he summoned the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and headed straight for the Shattered Sea, 5,000 light-years away.

…

Red Star Continent, Shattered Sea, North Shore.

“Cross Slash!”

A faint sword hum echoed, and a cross-shaped sword light streaked through the sky, targeting several fleeing half-snake beings.

“Quick, ahead lies the territory of Dragon Shark City. Once inside, we’ll be safe!”

A Third Rank half-snake shouted a reminder, before resolutely turning back. The snake spear in its hand radiated magical energy, meeting the incoming cross-shaped sword light head-on.

Clang!

The alloy spear clashed with the sword light, producing a dull screeching sound as sharp Sword Intent radiated from the cross-shaped light, carving deep, bone-revealing gashes into the green scale armor of the Third Rank half-snake.

Biting back the pain coursing through its body, the half-snake erupted with magical energy.

Thud!

Frosty, blood-tinged liquid sprayed out, and the half-snake was flung backward tens of meters.

The good news was that while gravely injured, it had managed to block the cross-shaped sword light.

But in the next moment, the Third Rank half-snake’s vertical pupils widened in horror.

“No!”

Four Sword Slave combatants pursued them, all top-tier among the Third Rank. Although one sword light had been intercepted, the other three Sword Slave fighters faced no obstacles. Their three sword beams surged toward the retreating half-snake group.

Among them, only one was at the Second Rank—the rest were still mere children. The consequences of being struck by the sword beams were obvious.

For a moment, despair filled the Third Rank half-snake’s eyes.

Just as disaster seemed inevitable, multiple beams of light shot forth abruptly from the distant skies.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These light beams struck the incoming sword beams with precision, obliterating them all in an instant.

This miraculous intervention ensured the survival of the fleeing half-snakes.

“It’s the Dragon Shark Patrol Team!”

The Third Rank half-snake’s eyes gleamed with renewed hope as it gazed upwards at the approaching fleet of ten warships, its expression brimming with gratitude.

“Aliens! This is the territory of Dragon Shark City. You have crossed the line!”

A powerful male voice boomed from a 3,000-meter-long warship overhead.

That single command froze the four Sword Slave fighters in their tracks.

Anger and reluctance flickered in their eyes, but they dared not defy the voice. Over the past two years, the name “Dragon Shark City” had become infamous.

Two years ago, a group of unknown beings arrived at the Shattered Sea’s northern shores, staking their claim and attempting to build a city in this chaos-stricken land.

This move immediately provoked widespread discontent among the Alien Races, triggering a wave of resistance.

A year and a half ago, three Sixth Rank aliens led an army of tens of thousands of different species to invade the so-called Dragon Shark Neutral City territory.

It was on that very day that the Starry Sky Dragon Shark Dominator revealed itself for the first time on the northern shores of the Shattered Sea—a being so massive and awe-inspiring it seemed to blot out the sky.

The Dominator’s boundless might declared the arrival of a formidable new power across the Shattered North Shore.

Since then, a new domain of order had emerged on the tumultuous northern shores of the Shattered Sea.

“Apologies, we will leave at once.”

Though reluctant, the four Sword Slave fighters quickly expressed their regret and turned to retreat without hesitation.
