The blue Seed of Torch within Song Chi’s Ancestral Aperture at the space between his eyebrows was violently flickering, a sign of being assaulted spiritually.

It was at this moment that the Abnormal Status Purifier component uploaded onto the Cang Qiong finally took effect.

Accompanied by the cleansing radiance of the Third Rank Peak, Song Chi snapped out of his daze and instinctively looked ahead, his pupils then sharply contracting.

Within the projection screen, a serpent’s maw of terrifying extent had completely covered the entire screen, with sharp fangs over dozens of meters in length flashing a chilling cold light.

It was indeed that Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake that had taken advantage of the interval in which Song Chi had been stunned earlier, rapidly hurtling towards the Cang Qiong.

By its appearance, it seemed as though it wanted to rend the Cang Qiong into two with a single bite.

In response, after an initial fright, Song Chi quickly returned to calmness and even his composed demeanor was tinged with traces of a sneer.

Inside the projection screen, the light was quickly dimming, as the Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake was closing its jaws.

"Neutron Star Fission!"

Locked in the final moment before its jaws snapped shut, Song Chi activated the "Neutron Star Fission" feature of the Neutron Star Core Armor component.

Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt, the one hundred and twenty meters long Cang Qiong was enveloped by an intense and scorching black light, instantly transforming from a warship form into a miniature neutron star a few dozens of meters in diameter.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

At the moment of the Cang Qiong’s transformation, a terrifying heat exceeding several million degrees Celsius erupted inside the mouth of the Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake. Although it was fleeting, the frightful temperature instantly melted the snake’s head.

Externally, the surrounding swamp water was also boiling intensively.

Just kidding, even a true Fourth Rank creature, if it allowed a neutron star to explode within its body, would directly kick the bucket, let alone a Half-Step Fourth Rank?

As the Cang Qiong sent out an alert of having received a strand of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi himself was somewhat confused.

Truth be told, as for the state of the Cang Qiong transforming into a "miniature neutron star," Song Chi, the captain, had made an incorrect judgement.

After all, this was the first time activating this feature; before this, he always believed it was a purely defensive feature.

Now after this practical test, he discovered that the moment the transformation completed, the horrific heat emitted from the surface of the miniature neutron star could also be considered an extremely astonishing method of attack.

Even to call it a special trump card would not be an exaggeration.

After deactivating the Neutron Star Fission feature and reverting back to the original warship form, the Cang Qiong shot out from the misshapen head of the Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake. Only then could he clearly see the full extent of the terrifying giant serpent.

Its body, spanning over two thousand five hundred meters in length, was entirely wrapped in pale red scale armor, and coupled with its terrifying fangs, it truly resembled a deep-water behemoth.

However, unfortunately for it, it encountered the Cang Qiong, and moreover, the Cang Qiong that was already equipped with the Neutron Star Core Armor. Its mistaken decision to try to resolve the battle with terrifyingly sharp fangs led to its ultimate demise with two consecutive wrong choices.

Song Chi felt a bit emotional, as the "Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light" he had deeply hoped for did not come into play at all. The battle that he thought would be tough and hard-fought ended in such a dramatic fashion, a result that had never occurred to him.

Of course, after a brief moment of sentimentality, what replaced it was a strong sense of elation.

Originally, he thought the terrifying defense of the Neutron Star Core Armor component and its features that autonomously restored warship armor and energy shields were already impressive enough.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated now having an additional, invisible strong method of attack, which certainly counted as a huge surprise.

Pressing down the joy in his heart, Song Chi quickly refocused his thoughts.

The ruckus of the fight with the Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake was not small, and was very likely to draw the attention of the two Clan Elders above. He needed to leave quickly.

Coming to rest directly above the 3000-year-old Deep Water Clam, a Traction Beam was shot out from the Cang Qiong, and soon, the nearly meter-large Deep Water Clam was easily hauled out.

This clam did not disappoint him as it had nurtured a fist-sized Deep Water Clam Pearl, aged at least 1500 years, adding joy upon joy.

After sorting this out, Song Chi shifted his gaze to the side, at the carcass of the Blackwater Xuan Snake over two thousand five hundred meters long, wishing to handle it briefly and cover up the traces of combat.

However, upon glancing at the radar screen, he realized there was no more time left.

Above the Vault of Heaven, as the three Chimeras and the Half-Step Fourth Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake died, the Origin Core of the Soul Spirit Floating Land weakened once more, the Floating Land Shield above no longer able to hold back the two Clan Elders.

Considering this, Song Chi could no longer concern himself with too much, no longer paying attention to the corpse of the pale red Blackwater Xuan Snake as he steered the Cang Qiong upwards.

Outside the Vault of Heaven of the Soul Spirit Floating Land, two Mech Giants continued to bombard the rapidly disintegrating Floating Land Shield below with the Power of Laws.

At a certain moment, the Floating Land Shield finally could no longer sustain itself and shattered with a loud crash.

Seeing this, the two Elders of The First Direct Lineage didn’t hesitate and flew straight downwards.

What puzzled the various members of the Song family was that the two Elders did not head to the Eastern Region first but went to the Central Great Swamp in the Northern Region.

Just a short while ago, they had sensed the presence of a second Half-Step Fourth Rank creature within this swamp.
