Ignoring the wound on its chest that was continuously spurting fresh blood, the humanoid alien race lifted its gaze sharply and looked toward the Cang Qiong that was ten thousand meters away.

That’s right. While the four Soldier Figurine Trees of the Void Assassin Clan were entangled with it, Song Chi had maneuvered the Cang Qiong to teleport to a suitable coordinate.

This was also the origin of that recent strike.

Seemingly enraged by the "Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light" emitted by Cang Qiong, the kilometer-tall humanoid alien ignored the ferocious wound on its chest and moved rapidly through the asteroid belt, pursuing the Cang Qiong ten thousand meters away.

Seeing this and having anticipated it, Song Chi immediately controlled the Cang Qiong to shuttle backward.

In the surrounding environment, where normal lightspeed cruising was not possible, the thing Cang Qiong feared the most was being drawn into close range by the enemy, and naturally, he would not let the opponent achieve this so easily.

After a continuous pursuit of half an hour, the kilometer-tall humanoid alien let out a roar and no longer continued the meaningless chase.

However, just as it stopped chasing and turned to return, the Cang Qiong that Song Chi controlled had no intention of letting things go so easily. He followed suit closely behind the alien.

The battle was far from over. Every time the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon’s cooldown ended, he would fire it from time to time, taking the pesky tactics to the extreme.

Boom!

Another shot struck the back of the humanoid alien.

This time, already annoyed by the Cang Qiong’s harassment, the kilometer-tall humanoid alien could not restrain itself any longer. It turned around fiercely as the light cyan long spear it had raised shot toward the following Cang Qiong like a cyan rainbow, roaring as it flew.

Song Chi, who had been intensely focused, struggled to deal with this sudden attack. First, the speed at which the cyan long spear was thrown was astonishing; second, given the surrounding environment, it was very difficult for the Cang Qiong to make any significant deviations.

"Obsidian Guardian!"

With no other choice, he could only activate the active feature of the warship armor of the Cang Qiong.

As a thick layer of obsidian armor enveloped the entire hull of the Cang Qiong, the shooting cyan rainbow simultaneously struck the obsidian armor layer.

Boom!

Amid the intense impact noise and tremors, the familiar warning voice of the semi-automatic intelligence on board followed, although compared to the previous Immortal Puppet Tower challenge, this was far less dangerous.

The damage to the warship armor reached only 15%, and the warship itself less than 2%.

The reason being that the main body of the cyan rainbow was ultimately just a Purple Quality strange weapon and it held no advantage in quality over the [Obsidian Ship Armor].

Additionally, on its ten-thousand-meter journey, its might had been reduced by the collision with a few asteroids, which were neither big nor small, explaining the limited damage inflicted.

Song Chi continued to control the Cang Qiong to press the attack against the kilometer-tall humanoid alien, not bothering about the ink cyan long spear floating powerless not far away.

It’s not that he did not care about a Purple Quality Starry Sea Oddity, but at this moment, a layer of obsidian armor still covered the surface of the Cang Qiong’s hull. The hatch could be opened, but the obsidian armor layer could not, unless he deactivated this active feature.

However, doing so would undoubtedly increase the danger to Cang Qiong in subsequent battles, and Song Chi would not do such a thing.

As long as he could kill the kilometer-tall humanoid alien in front, that Purple Relic would end up in his possession no matter what; there was no need to rush at this moment.

Without its weapon, the alien posed even less threat to Cang Qiong. Nevertheless, Song Chi, always cautious, continued to use the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon for long-range attacks, with no intention whatsoever of getting close.

Thus, the Cang Qiong followed the alien, constantly shuttling through the asteroid belt.

Nearly two hours later, the kilometer-tall humanoid alien successfully joined forces with another Third-Rank member of its race, which seemed to give it some confidence.

However, Song Chi was not the least bit afraid. He sent out all twenty-six remaining Soldier Figurines of the Void Assassin Clan to surround the Cang Qiong. Should the other Third-Rank alien species think of covering their retreat, all the Soldier Figurines would actively entangle it.

(PS: I made a change to the previous content. The Lv30 Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree can summon 30 figures, I wanted to clarify this.)

In any case, Song Chi only had eyes for that Third-Rank Peak humanoid alien.

```

Under his relentless pursuit, after another half hour, the Third Rank Peak humanoid alien creature finally collapsed completely, overcome with despair.

With Cang Qiong tailing it closely, it had no chance to treat its wounds, let alone suppress the sharp Sword Intent within its body. The large amount of blood loss weakened it continuously, until it finally fell before Cang Qiong.

Following the death of the Third-Rank humanoid alien, Cang Qiong’s ascension success rate rose once more, but not by 5%, rather by 6%, from 73.2% to 79.2%.

Maximal creatures of the Third Rank are still somewhat different from ordinary Third Rank Creatures, and even if they still don’t compare to that Third Rank Peak sandworm from before, it was enough to satisfy Song Chi.

Of course, this was not the end. After the death of the Third Rank Peak humanoid alien creature, Song Chi naturally shifted his target to the accompanying Third-Rank alien creature.

Compared with that Third Rank Peak alien, this ordinary Third-Rank humanoid alien was much easier to deal with. With the collaboration of Cang Qiong and the twenty-six Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figurines, it fell under the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon’s firing scope in less than twenty minutes.

Cang Qiong’s ascension success rate increased again, reaching 82.1%.

However, after surpassing an 80% ascension success rate, the success rate contribution of each Third-Rank alien creature killed was halved from 5% to 2.5%.

Well aware of this, Song Chi was not surprised. There were still two Third-Rank humanoid aliens, as well as nearly a hundred Second-Rank humanoid aliens nearby, and killing them all would be enough to push Cang Qiong’s ascension success rate above 90%.

And so, it took Song Chi nearly another ten hours, along with the twenty-six Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figurines, to kill all remaining humanoid alien creatures in the vicinity.

In the asteroid belt, Cang Qiong continued to shuttle, not to the next resource point, but to retrieve that Purple Quality long spear relic.

At the same time, the latest ascension success rate for Cang Qiong appeared before Song Chi in the Main Control Room.

[Warship Ascension Mission (Cang Qiong)]

[Current Ascension Success Rate: 90.1%]

[Ascension Special Resource Formula (4/4): Sea Spirit Stone*1,Millennial Volcanic Magma Iron Essence*1, Lunar Rock Stone*1, Zircon*1 (10%)]

[Additional Ascension Resources: 2300-year-old Moony Tree Sap (6%), Low-Level Energy Crystal (5%)]

[Bathed in Alien Blood: Third Rank, Second Rank sandworm... (78.1%)]

"Finally breaking through 90%, I can attempt ascension now!"

Muttering to himself, Song Chi had already decided that he would initiate Cang Qiong’s ascension the moment he returned.

Originally he still had thoughts of continuing to improve the rate, but after surpassing 90%, the success rate provided by the Second Rank and Third Rank alien creatures was cut by another half, which made Song Chi ultimately discard this idea.

A 90% success rate, as long as luck wasn’t terribly bad, there was basically no chance of failure. Comforting himself with this thought, Song Chi then made the decision to initiate the ascension mission immediately after returning.

He had no choice, his uncle had mentioned that his grandfather’s task of guarding was about to end, and he would be able to return to Dragon Spine Continent within the month, at which time the journey to the Soul Spirit Floating Land would be underway.

Before departing, Song Chi really wanted to ascend Cang Qiong to an escort ship.

Continuing to shuttle along, Cang Qiong returned to where the ink cyan long spear had been left behind.

Shortly after escaping from the grasp of the Third Rank Peak humanoid alien, it reverted to its original form, turning into a Qingming stone about the size of a soccer ball, so Song Chi easily brought it aboard Cang Qiong’s cabin.

With anticipation, the Marvel Attribute of this Qingming stone appeared before him.

[Marvel: Qingming Stone]

[Quality: Purple]

[Evolvable: {Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear}]

[Note: Birthed over thousands of years from an ordinary Qingming ore vein, it is a rarely seen Purple Relic among marvels.]
