However, the reality was that the terrifying beam of light, which had carried an appalling might just a moment ago, saw its might inexplicably drain away in an instant. By the time it struck the top of the head of the three-headed chimera, it was left with only the might of a Third Rank Peak.

It did not cause any fatal damage to it.

"It’s the origin rules of the Soul Spirit Floating Land that are actively suppressing it. The attack of the Clan Elder is strong, but it’s still not capable of remotely countering the core rules of the Floating Land Origin outside of the Floating Land..."

An insightful clan member took the initiative to explain in the channel, further dampening the spirits of the Song family members.

Though everyone understood that no matter what, the Soul Spirit Clan couldn’t turn the tide and the Floating Land would inevitably fall under the family’s control, the current unfavorable situation was a harsh reality.

The half-Step Fourth Rank three-headed chimera was weaving through the group of Third Rank cruisers like a dragon, surrounded by a mysterious force field that made it impossible for the Third Rank Torch Ship Captains to disengage, forcing them to passively endure the attacks of the chimera.

Below, the Thorned Flying Dragons, which initially held an absolute advantage, were now being besieged by over a hundred two-headed chimeras, and the situation was equally dire.

If this continued, casualties were inevitable.

Outside the Vault of Heaven, the flagships of the two Fourth Rank Clan Elders from The First Direct Lineage had somehow transformed into mecha forms. The Mech Giants, towering over three thousand meters tall, were fiercely attacking the Floating Land Shield, which was filled with cracks, eager to descend into the interior of the Floating Land.

But clearly, even with their urgency, it wasn’t something that could be achieved in a short time.

At that moment, an ancient voice emanated from within the Mech Giant holding a white longsword.

"Yan boy, take action now, just hold off this beast!!"

This ancient voice echoed from above throughout the Floating Land, and upon hearing it, the faces of the frustrated Third Rank Torch Ship Captains simultaneously lit up with joy.

"Song Yan, he’s here too?" Discover stories at empire

In the midst of their surprise, intense spatial fluctuations emanated from the center of the battlefield. Under the gaze of thousands, a cruiser, a thousand meters long and wrapped in a pale yellow warship armor, silently appeared next to the three-headed chimera, with a wingspan exceeding two thousand five hundred meters.

This warship looked no different from a regular cruiser and showed no sign of anything special.

However, with its appearance, it caused a huge stir among the members of the Song family, calming their previous panic completely, as if they had all taken a comforting pill.

Inside the Furious Lion Cruiser, Song Mingsong’s eyes, as big as copper bells, were intently fixed on the pale yellow cruiser displayed on the projection screen.

Even with his pride, he felt humbled in the presence of this seemingly ordinary cruiser.

The newcomer was none other than the sixth in the current sequence of the Dinghai Song Family.

Song Yan!

This member of the Ancestral Vein was born with Purple Fire and an Innate Gift that was barely considered excellent. When his flagship had first advanced to Second Rank, his performance had always been by the book.

Until the third year after advancing to Second Rank.

It was said that during an exploration in the Alien Star Domain, he had a serendipitous encounter that changed everything. In less than ten years, he leapt into the Third Rank, but this was just one insignificant line in his career. Taking on five or ten enemies at once was more typical of the achievements of this sixth sequence.

And one crucial point—this individual had repeatedly withstood direct attacks from Fourth Rank beings on his own.

Emphasis on direct attacks, not any form of kiting or drawn-out battle.

Furthermore, since becoming the family’s Sixth Sequence ten years ago, he had not openly made a move for a long time. If he could withstand the direct attacks of Fourth Rank lifeforms in the Starry Sea ten years ago, one could only imagine the current state of his flagship.

Let alone a half-Step Fourth Rank three-headed chimera, even if the opponent formally stepped into that realm, they likely wouldn’t be able to trouble the Sixth Sequence of the clan for a while.
