Chapter 1253: Chapter 671: [Seeking] _2

However, this is just a rumor, and the true origin is unknown.

The Seven-Colored Chaos Tablet solidified, ultimately summoning a mythical level Nightmare Demon God Statue’s phantom above the Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon.

Boom!

The Dragon Sparrow Saber collided with the Nightmare Demon God Statue, instantly generating a pseudo-mythical level of energy storm. Although both were colorful Extreme Position artifacts, the summoner was merely Eighth Rank, and the projection couldn’t fully materialize. Naturally, it couldn’t reach true mythical power.

Even so, the rampant energy storm was still extremely terrifying. Song Chi, who had long controlled the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to stay away, still found it difficult to breathe.

In the face of this pseudo-mythical level pressure, the Torch Warship’s internal and external absolute sealing feature seemed to have failed.

Thankfully, the oppressive force came and went quickly, dissipating into invisibility soon after.

When the energy storm subsided, the living beings outside the battlefield finally got a clear view of the current situation of the two Eighth Rank entities.

The summoned Dragon Sparrow Saber and Green Nightmare Chaos Tablet phantoms had long since vanished, leaving only themselves at the battlefield’s center.

But even at a glance, distinguishing between good and bad was already evident.

"Did we win?"

Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, Song Chi was somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, even with the full support of the Big Dipper’s starlight, the outcome shouldn’t have been decided so quickly. After all, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon was genuinely Eighth Rank Peak.

But under the analysis of his double pupils, the significantly diminished life breath on the distant Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon couldn’t be faked.

"I see, summoning the projection of these mythical artifacts to assist in combat consumes the summoner’s own energy. The Torch Ship Captain’s state had limited impact on the flagship..."

Suddenly, Song Chi guessed the reason behind it.

So the result was simple; the injuries on the Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon were not caused by the Star River Ship or the previous Dragon Sparrow Saber phantom but should have come from the consumption of previously summoning the Bronze Ancient Tablet.

Song Chi was very confident in this guess because he had personally tried it before.

When the Dragon Whale Hall first evolved into a colorful mythical artifact, although the tribe decided not to actively use it in the short term, several core members had secretly tested it, which is why Song Chi understood that summoning this tribal artifact from afar didn’t consume the Torch Warship’s Spectral Energy Points but his own internal Spectral Energy.

As his mind continued to race, a dramatic change occurred on the distant battlefield.

"Is this... how is it possible, is the Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon going to self-destruct?"

When his double pupils captured the familiar energy disturbance inside the other party’s body, Song Chi was stunned for a moment, sensing disbelief.

An Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon that was just one step away from the Ninth Rank would decisively choose to self-destruct?

It was known that although the current situation was turning in favor of Torch Humanity, it was far from one-sided, and the Eight-Armed Snake Demon side still had considerable opportunities.

The decisiveness of this Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon was even beyond imagination. Song Chi had just snapped back and only had time to activate the "Angel Wing Escape" feature of the Angel Sovereign Wings.

The next second, a terrifyingly massive meteor-like blazing fireball soared upward, followed by wave after wave of impact energy shockwaves.

The Eighth Rank Peak Eight-Armed Snake Demon self-destructed!

The only piece of good news was that before the terrifying shockwave from this Eighth Rank Peak being’s self-destruction swept in, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had already successfully performed a flash escape.

But this wasn’t exactly great news either because the flash escape point Song Chi chose wasn’t far from his previous low-altitude position.

Before Song Chi could think too much, the impact wave, like mountains collapsing and seas roaring, had already spread over.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Song Chi attempted to use specific words to describe the doomsday scene outside the warship at that moment, but no matter what words he chose, they seemed inadequate to describe such a scene.

He only knew that with the Holy Light Shield, Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield, plus the Black Hole Evolution Layer and double Neutron Star Core Armor, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was instantly crippled. It was the few moments these layers of defense held that allowed him to successfully activate the "Neutron Star Fission" feature of the Neutron Star Core Armor.

Until the warship instantly transformed into a miniature neutron star, the threat of the external terrifying energy storm was barely alleviated.

This did not mean that the waves of energy storms ceased harming the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong but rather that the minuscule neutron star form of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong provided extremely formidable defense.

Only then did Song Chi have the presence of mind to continue surveying the surroundings.

His pupils quickly began to contract.

The terrifying energy storm hadn’t swept only the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong; many Torch Warships were caught in it. However, few had defenses as robust as the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Even with a quick survey, he found no fewer than ten sunken warships, mostly Fearless Ships.

Although many Star-Annihilating Starships were also caught in it, the structural strength difference meant that few Star-Annihilating Starships were directly sunk by the shockwave.

After a brief observation, Song Chi quickly withdrew his gaze. In the current situation, a single Fearless Ship couldn’t influence much.

His focus shifted more towards the towering giant tree on the side.

The reason he didn’t flash escape further away during the "Angel Wing Escape" was precisely due to this Golden Apple Mother Tree.

Amidst wave after wave of continuous energy impacts, combined with the lingering effects of the firepower bombardment during the battle, the deeply rooted Eighth Rank Golden Apple Mother Tree was trembling severely.

Visible were its roots beneath the earth severing massively or being directly uprooted.

There was nothing to be done; the Golden Apple Mother Tree’s location wasn’t far from the battle’s center and had endured the fight’s aftermath. Now, it could hardly hold on.

Thanks to his double pupils’ powerful analytical and capturing ability, Song Chi noticed this in that fleeting moment, hence deciding to set the flash escape point there.

Black Hole Evolution Layer · "Black Hole Domain"!

Another component activated. With the aggregation of the Black Hole Domain, Song Chi quickly released the connection between the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the outside world. Then a strong traction beam shot from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hull, directly targeting the precarious Golden Apple Mother Tree below.

Under the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s full traction, the Golden Apple Mother Tree’s roots detached even faster. However, as an Eighth Rank Starry Sky Plant of considerable size, achieving the final goal with just the full traction of a Fearless Ship was exceedingly difficult.

"The external energy storm has reached its peak and will gradually weaken over time..."

As the double pupils turned, Song Chi didn’t ignore external monitoring, and this discovery made him increasingly anxious.

Precisely because of the chaos caused by the Eighth Rank Peak Snake Demon Dominator’s self-destruction, he had this slim chance to target the Golden Apple Mother Tree. Otherwise, like the Abyssal Nine-Headed Snake’s corpse, he would have no opportunity to retrieve it despite his focus.

As his thoughts reached this point, his eyes suddenly sharpened, as if making a decision.

In the next instant, his mind shifted, conveying an action command to the fiery figure behind him.

Receiving his mind sound transmission, the fiery figure dashed towards the warship door, but before it left, Song Chi tossed a storage capsule.

The storage capsule contained nothing but two items.

One was Immortal Domain Spirit Soil.

The other was Spiritual Spring Green Water.

Both were items that increased the chance of successful transplantation, with the Spiritual Spring Green Water particularly effective in maintaining biological activity. For a formidable Eighth Rank Golden Apple Mother Tree, there’s a high risk of completely losing its vitality amidst such brutal destruction.
