Chapter 1028: Chapter 539: [Time Chess Board]

In truth, from beginning to end, Song Chi had always been prepared for “space turbulence.”

For this exact reason, he had never activated the “Black Hole Domain” feature.

As an extraordinarily rare “Absolutely Invincible” feature, the “Black Hole Domain” could absolutely ensure the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s safety during its activation period.

Song Chi’s earlier plan was to use the “Black Hole Domain” as insurance in case space turbulence became unavoidable, ensuring the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s safety. Unexpectedly, he actually had to use it now.

However, he hadn’t spared any “Black Hole Energy” earlier. When condensing that singularity, he had used all of the 30,000 points of Black Hole Energy to buy even a sliver of time against the Ancient Demon Dominator’s hand, preventing the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong from falling into space turbulence or having its jump interrupted awkwardly.

Still, Song Chi wasn’t overly concerned, as he had accounted for this as well.

Through his Ethereal Body, he observed that the Black Hole Energy from the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] component had already fully recharged, returning to its maximum of 30,000 points.

The reason was simple.

The [Black Hole Evolution Layer] component could absorb half of the energy from external attacks, converting it into Black Hole Energy. The earlier spatial turbulence and spatial gale winds contained immeasurable energy.

As a result, the Black Hole Energy had been restored to maximum.

Without hesitation, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain drained all 30,000 points of Black Hole Energy, forming a special Black Hole Domain around the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hull.

Seeing this, Song Chi immediately withdrew the last sliver of energy remaining in the Ruins Market Projection. Simultaneously, the Ethereal Body inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong rapidly activated the second [Ruins Market Projection Rank] in hand.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

In the endless space turbulence, the spatial ripples from the cross-starry sky projection generated by the Ruins Market Projection were almost imperceptible. Yet, the Purple Mist Energy slowly gathered across the vast distance.

In the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, the Ethereal Body’s gaze was fixed intently on the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] component.

Though 30,000 points of Black Hole Energy had been poured in, Song Chi couldn’t be certain how long the Black Hole Domain could last. After all, it was only enhanced to the Seventh Rank, and the turbulent external spatial flows brought unprecedentedly powerful impacts.

“No, I can’t let the Ruins Market Projection slowly gather on its own!”

In Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi’s instincts told him that the Black Hole Domain’s duration might not last until the Ruins Market Projection fully solidified. The horrifying surrounding space turbulence markedly slowed the condensation of Purple Mist Energy.

At this thought, he decisively invoked two secret techniques: [Shaking Light Star Appearance] and [Death Star Arrival] within the Ruins Market.

In the next instant, the spectral projection of two ancient stars descended outside the Spectral Shield above the Zhu Tian Ruins Market. Suspended quietly to his left and right, the radiance of these stars rendered Song Chi like a Lord of the Stars.

Under the augmentation of the two ancient stars, the Power of Domination surging from Song Chi’s body became increasingly formidable.

Within the external Void Jumping Corridor, the speed at which Purple Mist Energy gathered suddenly accelerated. At the precise moment before the Black Hole Domain collapsed, the Ruins Market Projection successfully solidified completely.

The second Ruins Market Projection had been successfully condensed, fulfilling the initial expectations. What remained now was whether the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could reach the exit of the jump corridor before this second Ruins Market Projection’s might was completely exhausted.

If not, then Song Chi would have to place his hope in the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] component.

By now, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had exhausted its resources entirely, leaving only the “Enslavement Mark: Frenzy” feature of the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring].

If it came to this, he could only use the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race onboard the warship as a vessel to activate the “Enslavement Mark: Frenzy” feature, granting it temporary Power of Domination to see if it could protect the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Nevertheless, Song Chi was extremely reluctant to resort to this measure. The Power of Domination obtained through the “Enslavement Mark: Frenzy” feature was not genuine Power of Domination. Whether it would suffice to protect the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was highly uncertain.

Within the Ruin Market Firmament, while remotely controlling the Ruins Market Projection to resist the boundless space turbulence, Song Chi formed a rough hypothesis regarding that Ancient Demon Dominator from earlier.

First, the opponent likely had a high-tier spatial Strange Object in their possession, potentially equipped with long-range tracking capabilities. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain how they had tracked the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong across over 13,000 light-years and launched an attack.

Second, this Ancient Demon Dominator was probably at the Seventh Rank Peak, perhaps even an Eighth Star Ancient Demon. Otherwise, the combat power displayed in this encounter would have been far beyond that of an ordinary Seventh Rank Dominator.

With these thoughts in mind, he gently shook his head.

“If the Ruins Market had already advanced to the Sixth Rank, the outcome this time would have been vastly different. Thankfully, it’s almost there!”

Reeling in those scattered thoughts, he shifted his focus back to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market itself.

Under his control as the Ruins Market Master, the Zhu Tian Ruins Market Secret Realm began swiftly navigating the Void Sea.

Because of the market’s positional restrictions, the projections of the two ancient stars he had summoned earlier were repelled from the market itself. This meant that the Shaking Light Star Projection and Death Star Projection were both condensed in the Void Sea, releasing astonishing starlight that likely lured numerous wandering Void Demons.

Thus, while shielding the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi also had to manipulate the Ruins Market Secret Realm to shift its location. Only through such maneuvers could he ensure the market’s safety.
