Chapter 1287: Chapter 670: [Star-Annihilating Starship – Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong]

Wuwuwu!

Above the vault of heaven, energy tides as tangible as reality sweep across the entire floating land.

At this moment, the entire Red Snake Floating Land is shrouded in a misty drizzle, but the rain falling is not ordinary water, rather it is spiritual rain rich in energy.

None of the hundreds of thousands of Song clan members across the Red Snake Floating Land pay any attention to this. All their focus is gathered on the warship promotion task panel before them.

Song Chi, deep in the floating land’s core, is no different.

Because, within his sight, the success rate of the warship promotion keeps jumping up and down continuously.

[Warship Promotion Task (Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong)]

[Current Promotion Success Rate: 95.501%]

...

[Current Promotion Success Rate: 95.815%]

...

[Current Promotion Success Rate: 95.645%]

...

[Current Promotion Success Rate: 96.002%]

...

[Current Promotion Success Rate: 95.680%]

Although the promotion success rate is continually fluctuating and extremely unstable, a closer look reveals that its lowest limit is consistently rising, let alone when it’s at its peak.

At this moment, Song Chi doesn’t have the spare thoughts to consider the 36 Time Chess pieces recently consumed, nor the solid 100-year cooldown of the "Time Chess Game" feature.

Because as long as this promotion succeeds, subsequently he will need a good amount of time to complete his own breakthrough in the Seventh Rank Guidance Technique.

Although there seems to be only one rank difference between the Sixth and Seventh, it is a leap as vast as heaven and earth, as evidenced by the fact that Sixth Rank lifeforms in the Starry Sea generally have lifespans of only ten millennia, yet Seventh Rank Dominators easily live over a hundred thousand years.

Even with the Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow traded from the Chenxing Clan earlier, and the Demon Snake Nine Shedding Fruit obtained from the Demon Snake Floating Land, it takes at least several decades to achieve a breakthrough.

And even after the breakthrough, following the seventh life sublimation, he still needs another ’Law Amplitude Phase’, which takes another ten years, along with subsequent comprehension of secret techniques and adaptation to changes in his strength, easily spanning over a hundred years.

Furthermore, before breaking through to the Seventh Rank in Guidance Technique, he must work hard with his wife Shen Youran, so this issue is not really a problem.

At a certain moment, when the promotion success rate on the warship promotion task panel appeared as 97.006%, Song Chi intuitively realized that this was the highest value, and that the energy tide on the floating land would only gradually weaken thereafter.

[Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, commence promotion!]

With his confirmation, a large amount of spectral energy suddenly shot out from the miniature form of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong high above the Red Snake Floating Land’s origin core, followed by radiant lights completely enveloping the entire core space.

Dong dong dong!

Song Chi felt as if his heartbeat resembled thunderous sounds. Even knowing the 97% success rate, plus a Sixth Rank Time Realm Fruit, making the chance of failure pitifully small, he couldn’t help but worry before truly completing the promotion.

Until the golden Torch Seed at the depth of his forehead suddenly jumped, the flame abruptly intensified several folds than before, only then did he fully relax and an uncontainable thrill appeared in his eyes.

The Torch Seed of the Torch Ship Captain and the Torch Warship are interlinked. The Great Rank promotion of the Torch Warship naturally gives a reverse boost to the Torch Seed. The sudden enhancement of the Torch Seed means that the promotion of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has been successfully completed.

When Song Chi opened his eyes, the dazzling light outside had already dissipated. He looked straight at the miniature form of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong still floating quietly above the origin core of Red Snake Floating Land in the distance.

Although it remains in its miniature form and its appearance shows no changes, judging by the special aura emanating from the warship, Song Chi is utterly convinced that Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has truly succeeded in advancing to Star-Annihilating Starship.

Threads of spectral energy circulate within his body, and controlled by his consciousness, the miniature form of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong swiftly returns.

Afterward, it naturally initiates the full-speed expansion of a Star-Annihilating Starship.

Finally, the hull of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong settled at eighteen thousand kilometers.

Compared to the usual ten kilometers of Star-Annihilating Starships, eighteen thousand kilometers in length silently speaks of the amazing background of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

You could say, with the support of numerous high-quality, high enhancement level components, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has almost stepped into the threshold of a senior Star-Annihilating Starship right after its promotion.

Before he checked anything else, a breaking sound came from the passage above, as Song Shiyuan drove the Immovable Ming King over.

"Little Chi, how..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Shiyuan had already seen the exaggerated Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in the core space, and his words immediately shifted.

"Good, good... Heaven bless my Song Family!!!"

Faced with the mildly over-the-top Song Shiyuan, Song Chi did not indulge in much conversation because there were more pressing matters awaiting him.

Previously, due to concern about insufficient time, he had yet to use the black Upgrade Fire Source, Capricorn Fire, exchanged.

The promotion of the golden Torch Seed to black; currently, the Song Family does not have a Captain who has reached such a level, thus their exact promotion period remains unknown. To be cautious and prevent any mistakes due to missing the duration of the warship promotion task during Torch Seed promotion, Song Chi decided to defer this matter until after warship promotion.

Now that Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has successfully promoted, naturally, this matter has come into play.

Nonetheless, before returning to Dragon Spine Continent, Song Chi still inquired about the promotion status of the clan members.

Facing this question, Song Shiyuan’s expression slightly darkened.

"Tiancong couldn’t successfully promote, and additionally, dozens of clan members attempting to reach the Zhulu Warship have also failed..."

"However, there is good news too; the flagships of Tian Hao and Yiming successfully promoted to Fearless Ship; Xiao Ze and Xiao Bei also advanced to battleship; furthermore, nearly forty Zhulu Warships, near a thousand cruisers, and nearly six-digit escort ships have successfully been promoted..."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi gently sighed.

The Song Tiancong mentioned by Song Shiyuan is someone he naturally knows. He belongs to the same generation as Tian Hao, Tian Shu, and Tian Mang, but is the youngest in age. His luck and talent are somewhat lacking, only lingering as Captain of Zhulu Warship. Now, he has already passed two thousand years, long reached the end of his life.

This time, riding on a large energy tide generated by the newly born Seventh Rank Floating Land, he decided to make his last effort but still ended in failure.

But he quickly turned back. Since his rebirth in this Era of the Starry Seas, he had understood this truth.

The Starry Sea is boundless, and years leave no trace. Only by continuously improving oneself can one witness the ongoing changes of this Shattered Starry Sea. Otherwise, one can only silently turn into a patch of yellow earth in an unknown corner.

...

Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Whale Hall.

When Song Chi stood up again, he quickly nodded to a few people waiting in the hall.

After spending several hours, he successfully absorbed the wisp of [Capricorn Fire], advancing his own Seed of Torch to black.

After greeting everyone, he directly entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

The warship successfully advanced, the Seed of Torch transformed into black, and he had already met all the conditions for enhancing certain components of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to the Ninth Rank.

Before the enhancement, he first checked his resources.

Titanium Crystal, Law Stone, and the Floating Land Origins of Eighth Rank and below were enough in quantity. He mainly checked the Dominant True Spirit, Time Fragments, and the Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin.

Seventh Rank Dominant True Spirit: 920 units

Eighth Rank Dominant True Spirit: 82 units

Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin: 53 wisps

Time Fragments: 145 pieces

One must admit, after taking down several Eighth Rank level trade cities in succession, the top resources he acquired increased significantly. Initially worried that after completion of promotion, maybe only a few Ninth Rank components could be enhanced, it seemed completely unnecessary to worry.

After that, he proceeded to fully enhance every component of the warship that could be enhanced.

[Time Chessboard]lv80→lv90

[Neutron Star Core Armor]lv80→lv90

[Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine]lv80→lv90

[Moon Shadow Cannon]lv70→lv90

[Black Hole Evolution Layer]lv80→lv90

[Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb]lv70→lv90

[Divine Thought Chapter]lv80→lv90

[Soul Devouring Altar]lv70→lv90

[Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace·Broken]lv80→lv90

[Mirror Image Splitting]lv80→lv90

[Eternal True Spirit Nest]lv80→lv90

[Chaotic Godhood]lv70→lv90

[Master’s Ivory Crash Horn]lv70→lv90

[Power Seal]lv70→lv80

[Domain Collision Device]lv70→lv80

[Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk]lv70→lv80

After all the enhancements, the Dominant True Spirits in hand were rapidly consumed, leaving Song Chi with only 30 units of Eighth Rank Dominant True Spirit and just 60 units of Seventh Rank Dominant True Spirit.

However, no matter what, the warship’s attributes indeed received a wave of crazy upgrades, not to mention anything else, the attributes of [Time Chessboard] alone received an extremely exaggerated enhancement after strengthening.
