Chapter 1041: Chapter 547: Gold Blood Battle Stele

If he didn’t see it wrong, the recent collision resulted in the opposing side marking the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with a special Tracking Mark.

This Tracking Mark possesses extremely high concealment properties—it is not only invisible to the naked eye of the Torch Ship Captain, but even embedded within the ship’s hull without triggering any alerts from the [Abnormal Status Purifier] component.

Only because Song Chi possesses Double Pupils did he clearly capture this small maneuver from the opposing side. But it wasn’t just Shang Jie; in that fleeting moment, Song Chi similarly marked the opponent’s Flagship with the “Death Robber Star Mark.” When entering the Secret Realm later, it remains uncertain who will end up tracking whom.

Following closely after Shang Jie’s Flagship, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong also quickly plunged into the Secret Realm’s entrance.

However, just before the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong vanished completely in the vortex tunnel, a faint beam of light surged silently from behind and merged into the warship’s hull.

Under the violent sensation of teleportation-induced weightlessness, Song Chi faintly heard the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain’s prompt.

[Please note, the starship has been bound by a special aura. Preliminary analysis suggests it as a mixed augmenting aura temporarily enhancing defense and mobility. Would you like to activate the [Abnormal Status Purifier] component to cleanse it?]

“Augmenting aura… Did Bai Mei notice that small maneuver by Shang Jie?”

Murmuring softly to himself, Song Chi denied the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain’s suggestion. Since it’s an augmenting aura, there is naturally no need to cleanse it. Although he is confident in the combat power of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, this doesn’t imply he underestimates his enemy.

After all, Shang Jie is a direct heir of a top-tier power and reportedly the son of an Elder-level Star-Annihilating Starship Captain from the Shang Family. It’s unlikely his arsenal lacks those devastating weapons, warranting adequate caution.

Before long, the intense weightlessness gradually dissipated, signaling his successful entry into the Blood Battle Secret Realm.

Surveying his surroundings, the location of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong rests in a Silent Stellar Space, devoid of the presence of other Torch Warships.

Evidently, the entry into the Secret Realm operates via random teleportation.

Already aware of this point, Song Chi paid it no mind as the ship’s engines roared to life, propelling the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong forward at unwavering speed.

This Blood Battle Secret Realm is astonishingly vast, with its internal space stretching across tens of thousands of light-years. For now, his priority is singular: quickly pinpoint his current position and then proceed toward the central star domain of the Secret Realm.

The Blood Battle Secret Realm contains numerous [Blood Battle Stele] Strange Objects, but high-quality [Blood Battle Stele] are mostly concentrated in the central star domain of the realm. Song Chi’s minimum goal this time is to acquire at least a Silver Quality [Blood Battle Stele]. If opportunity arises, he’d naturally covet a Gold Quality [Blood Battle Stele] even more.

However, be it Silver or Gold, such premium [Blood Battle Stele] necessitate venturing into the realm’s core star domain.

Traveling steadily, Song Chi periodically glanced at the [Death Robber Tracking Seal] component.

“Not moving directly toward me—could it be the distance is too great, or is the intent to explore the Secret Realm first?”

The [Death Robber Tracking Seal] component indicated that Shang Jie’s Flagship had yet to make moves to close in.

“Well then, securing high-quality [Blood Battle Stele] takes precedence!”

…

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the Battleship Main Control Room, golden light flickered as Song Chi activated the “Peeping Spirit Eyes” feature of the [Heavenly Eye] radar.

Seconds later, multiple colored dots appeared sequentially on the radar map.

Among these dots, purple was predominant, orange came second, with only two red dots.

Noticing that no Silver or Gold Quality [Blood Battle Stele] were detected within the scanning unit, Song Chi hesitated for a moment. After several seconds, his gaze became resolute, and the starship’s engines ignited even more intensely, propelling the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong at high velocity toward the center of the realm.

Although he could easily collect orange and red [Blood Battle Stele] with some time, the Secret Realm exploration has persisted for over a century. Many Silver [Blood Battle Stele], even Gold ones, have already been claimed by the three exploratory factions.

Even though the Blood Battle Secret Realm is considered a cosmic-level Secret Realm, it is ultimately the lowest tier within the hierarchy of Cosmic Secret Realms. He doesn’t believe the quantity of Silver and Gold [Blood Battle Stele] within the realm will be excessive. Moreover, the time required for Strange Objects of this caliber to be nurtured is exceedingly long. Missing this opportunity to acquire one or two pieces now fills him with unease.

Should the next batch of High Rank [Blood Battle Stele] require nurturing time, he would inevitably miss out. As two top-tier Advanced Civilizations gear up for total war, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong must achieve its upgrades before the war officially commences. Once it ascends to the rank of Fearless Ship, the opportunity to enter this Blood Battle Secret Realm in the future would be forever lost.

…

Equipped with the permanent concealment status of the [Void Membrane], augmented by the formidable stealth effect of the “Mirage Shadow” feature, along with the [Red Vault Jump Device], the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could have directly jumped to the core star domain of this Blood Battle Secret Realm.

However, considering the limited detection unit of the “Peeping Spirit Eyes” feature, after one step at a time with slow exploration efforts, Song Chi spent over a month completing this phase.

Fortunately, luck was on his side; not long after entering the core star domain, he successfully detected the existence of a Silver [Blood Battle Stele] during one of his scans.

Of course, it cannot be confirmed at this moment whether it truly is a Silver Quality [Blood Battle Stele]. While the Blood Battle Secret Realm initially lacked other Starry Sea Oddities, after decades of exploration by factions, the deaths of many Captains inevitably left behind other Silver Oddities within the realm.

[Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon] – “Mirage Shadow,” activated!

In the vast expanse of space, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, cloaked in void invisibility, engaged in a jump. When it reappeared, it had already moved several light-years ahead.
