Chapter 1266: Chapter 678: Chaos Beast

Of course, the "Black Hole Domain" feature of the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] also has considerable limitations. The absolutely invincible time it grants ranges from 1 to 10 seconds. With the current gap between the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the Seventh Rank Dominator, the average data calculated by the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain is 5.4 seconds. Therefore, the subsequent plan must control the timing well; it must be executed before this time, otherwise, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong will still face significant danger.

Time flows.

At a certain moment, the bat wings of the first Seventh Rank living being sliced onto the body of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Clang clang clang!

Immediately, sharp metal slicing sounds echoed, and Song Chi’s heart slightly tightened, while the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain immediately began timing.

0.01s

0.5s

At 0.8s, the second Seventh Rank blood-colored being also attacked the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

At 1.4s, the third one.

At 1.8s, the fourth one.

...

At 4.8s, the twenty-fourth one.

[It’s now!]

At the moment the bat wings of the twenty-fourth Seventh Rank blood-colored being sliced onto the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s body, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain officially took action.

Under its control, another "High Energy Particle Storm" feature of the [Neutron Star Core Armor] was activated.

Immediately, countless high-energy particles spread rapidly from the body of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, a high-energy particle storm field with extremely destructive power formed around the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

As expected, thousands of Sixth Rank units were all covered by this high-energy particle storm field. Under the impact of massive high-energy particles, numerous Sixth Rank blood-colored beings, already heavily injured by the previous terrifying high temperatures, began to die in large numbers.

The thirty-plus Seventh Rank blood-colored beings nearby also suffered the same effect, being covered by this sudden high-energy particle storm field. The damage they had to endure was proportional to their physical size. With wings spanning over ten thousand kilometers, the impact of high-energy particles they endured was easy to imagine.

But it must be said, as Seventh Rank dominant creatures, their physiques far surpassed those of Fifth and Sixth Rank creatures. Even when subjected to such amounts and intensity of high-energy particle storms, they still did not suffer too fatal damage in the short term.

This can be seen from the familiar spatial ripples that emerged around them.

Even in such a situation, having the spare energy to use spatial means clearly showed they far from being at their limits. However, since all these Seventh Rank blood-colored beings were thinking about using spatial abilities to escape quickly, it also meant that the "High Energy Particle Storm" was not entirely ineffective against them.

Thinking of this, Song Chi issued a directive for the first time.

[Time Chess Board] · "Time·Chessboard" feature, activate!

This colorful upper-level component, rarely used since being acquired, was activated, enveloping the entire body of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with vibrant colorful light.

In the next second, extreme power of time emerged from this colorful brilliance, converging above the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong into an illusory colorful chessboard.

This illusory chessboard was constructed from 108 colorful chess pieces, and once formed, the time within the region covered by the chessboard instantly became chaotic.

Visibly, the actions of the surrounding blood-colored beings, desperately trying to escape, were all slowed down by more than a hundredfold. Originally, the Seventh Rank blood-colored beings could have escaped within 1s via Flash Escape, but under this colorful chessboard domain, it was extended to over two minutes.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The sharp wail resounded again, energy surged on the blood-colored bat wings, and the Seventh Rank blood-colored beings, realizing something was wrong with their state, tried to break free from the restraints of the time chessboard domain in this manner. However, with just their own power, it was evidently impossible.

The [Time Chess Board] currently has an enhancement level of Level 80 and can theoretically control all eighth-rank units.

Due to the limitations of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s fearless ship body, its effect might not be as strong on Eighth Rank creatures, but it could still exert absolute suppression on Seventh Rank creatures; otherwise, it would fail to live up to the name of a colorful upper-level component.

As time passed second by second, the damage caused by the high-energy particle storm to these Seventh Rank units continued to intensify.

At the 45th second, the first Seventh Rank blood-colored being fell.

Of course, its death wasn’t solely due to the high-energy particle storm. Along with the particle storm’s havoc, the various ship cannons on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong continued to bombard these Seventh Rank blood-colored beings under the control of the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain.

Indeed, the first fallen Seventh Rank blood-colored being fell to a phantom blood-colored spear unleashed by the Blood Spear.

The key is that within this chessboard domain, the high-energy particle storm and ship cannon attacks triggered by the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong itself were not affected by the slowdown of time, allowing the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to exert its damage to the fullest.

With the first instance, subsequent occurrences naturally became more frequent.

At 56 seconds, the second Seventh Rank blood-colored being died.

At 64 seconds, the third Seventh Rank Dominator fell.

At 70 seconds, the fourth one.

...

By 120 seconds, the fallen Seventh Rank blood-colored beings numbered as many as fifteen.

However, that was about it. After 120 seconds, the spatial means previously triggered by the Seventh Rank blood-colored beings had mostly completed, and even with the domain constructed by the "Time·Chessboard," they could no longer be stopped from escaping.

seconds is ultimately just a theoretical number. In practical situations, these Seventh Rank creatures would have some resistance, achieving 120 times is quite impressive.

As for why the chessboard domain cannot restrict them from using spatial abilities.

It’s inevitable; the [Time Chess Board] is essentially an extreme time-type component, and the domain it constructs does not have effects like space prohibition, magic prohibition, or void lockdown.

’It would have been better to summon more chess pieces earlier...’

As the thought arose, Song Chi shook his head again.

It’s not that he didn’t want to; it’s because there are few chess pieces left in the [Time Chess Board] at the moment.

Several decades ago, during an attack by a high-ranking Eight-Armed Snake Demon, [Time Chess Board] was used, using another set of 108 pieces. Now, in just these few decades, the 360 ordinary time chess pieces have not yet recovered to above three hundred. With another consumption of 108 pieces this time, there are only a little over a hundred chess pieces remaining on the component.

These hundred or so pieces are prepared for subsequent use, and Song Chi is truly reluctant to use them unless absolutely necessary.

The escape of the nearly twenty Seventh Rank blood-colored beings left the time chessboard domain rather empty, but Song Chi’s mood grew ever heavier.

The nearly twenty escaped Seventh Rank blood-colored beings were currently coldly watching from afar, waiting for the continuous effects of the chessboard domain and high-energy particle storm field to expire. Once they do, they would certainly come back at all costs, giving the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong the strongest counterattack for causing them severe damage.

However, regardless of what he thinks, the continuous time of the chessboard domain and high-energy particle storm is limited. After nearly obliterating all Fifth and Sixth Rank blood-colored beings within the covered area, both eventually faded away in this blood-colored space.

Almost at the moment when the effects of both features ended, the previously escaped nearly twenty Seventh Rank blood-colored beings madly returned once again.

The blood mist covered the sky, completely shrouding it in a posture that seemed not to stop until the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was entirely devoured.

At the same time, in a certain special Chaos Space outside, several figures gathered together, and in their midst appeared a special image, depicting the current scene faced by the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in the blood-colored space.

"Slaying 15 Seventh Rank Chaos Beasts on the first challenge of the Chaos Nest, and still with a fearless ship body, this feat can already be considered excellent. Greedy Wolf, take action as well, and don’t forget the mistake from ten thousand years ago..."

"Don’t rush; I have a feeling that this little fellow still has another ace up the sleeve..."

"The colorful upper-level time-type component has already been used, don’t go too far, this is our rare promising seedling under our command, absolutely no accidents can occur..."

"By the way, after this Demon Snake Floating Land operation, the Song Family behind the little fellow has been exposed to many forces. Someone from the Fusang Dynasty has conveyed a message, roughly meaning that they want the Song Family to release a portion of the resources they secretly acquired across multiple river systems previously..."

"Such people, just reject them directly. Want to pick leftovers? Currently, more than half of the river systems from the Eight-Armed Snake Demon are still there, let them have a go if they can!"
