Chapter 488: Chapter 261: Fourth Rank Yansuo Behemoth

Of course, no matter what, it was only a half-step Fourth Rank lifeform after all. Against the Cang Qiong, which already had numerous components enhanced to Fourth Rank, the threat was actually limited.

Throughout the journey up to this point, the Cang Qiong hadn’t shown much of its strength.

Before this, Song Chi hadn’t even summoned the Void Demon, nor had he used the external cobalt piercing shell launcher; not to mention the “Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light,” a feature with a not-so-short cooldown time.

There wasn’t much to say about the Starry Sky Behemoth. Apart from having unique advantages over one or several kinds of Power of Laws, what they relied on the most was their exceedingly extraordinary vitality.

So, Song Chi stayed on the 59th level for a long time, taking dozens of minutes to finally grind down the Rock Saha Giant Beast … without using his trump cards.

As for the time consumed, Song Chi didn’t mind. His thinking was simple: he wanted to keep the trump cards of the Cang Qiong for the later stages as much as possible to achieve better results.

On the 60th level, the guardian creature was two half-step Fourth Rank Level Rock Saha Giant Beasts. It was here that Song Chi summoned the Fourth Rank Void Demon on the Cang Qiong for the first time.

The Void Demon, a master of the Space Law, naturally had no suspense when it made its move.

On the 61st level, the guardian creature was three half-step Fourth Rank Level Rock Saha Giant Beasts.

Finally, on the 64th level, after nearly an hour of struggle, the Cang Qiong successfully killed six half-step Fourth Rank Level Rock Saha Giant Beasts.

Upon reaching the 65th level, there was somewhat of a surprise, because this level didn’t feature any half-step Fourth Rank Stellar Sea creatures.

It was a world of flames, the terrifying heat warping the surrounding starry sky severely, and what Song Chi or rather the Cang Qiong needed to do was to withstand this dreadful temperature and ascend towards the space above until reaching the 66th level.

“Definitely Fourth Rank Level flames, has the 66th level already begun to touch on the domain of Fourth Rank…”

Song Chi quickly made a judgment; the energy level of the flames outside had certainly reached the Fourth Rank Level.

Though there was no intelligent life’s active control, the threat of these Fourth Rank level flames greatly diminished, but for those ordinary, or even eminent creatures within the Second Rank of the Starry Sea, these flames would pose a tremendous threat to their lives.

However, for Song Chi, this was actually an easier challenge than facing those six Rock Saha Giant Beasts before.

In such an environment, the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] would play its most significant role.

The “Neutron Star Core Pulse” feature of the [Neutron Star Core Armor], coupled with the Energy Shield’s “Five Elements Rotation, Mutually Reinforcing and Overcoming” feature, allowed the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] to maintain a balance between shield value loss and recovery in this formidable fire environment.

Since the flames couldn’t even affect the outermost layer of the Energy Shield, the Fourth Rank flames naturally couldn’t cause any damage to the interior of the Cang Qiong.

Even as the Cang Qiong continued to ascend and the intensity of the flames increased, the problem was still not significant.

On the 66th level, it was the endless sharp force of metal cutting, which was also perfectly countered by the feature “Five Elements Rotation, Mutually Reinforcing and Overcoming.”

Until the 69th level, the Energy Shields with the Five Elements Attributes appeared one after another, and the Cang Qiong unsurprisingly cleared up to the 69th level, stepping onto the 70th level.

By the time he reached this 70th level, he had already achieved his initial expectations, and Song Chi estimated that he should at least obtain a red-quality Starry Sea Oddity as a reward.

Recalling his spiritual focus, his attention returned to the challenge of the 70th level.

The previous surge of energy had vanished entirely, and once again, Stellar Sea creatures resumed their role as guardians.

The guardian creature of this 70th level was a gigantic exotic hawk with a body size over three thousand meters and a wingspan close to four thousand meters.

From the concentrated solidity and quantity of the Law of Wind gathering around it, it appeared to be a Fourth Rank creature that had just entered the rank not long ago and had not fully mastered the Power of Laws yet.

Considering this, Song Chi focused all his attention. Even if it was a castrated version of a Fourth Rank creature, its essential nature of life would not change, and facing such a level of creature with the current combat power of the Cang Qiong required his full effort.

Swipe, swipe, swipe!

Thirty-five Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines charged out of the Cang Qiong in succession, and under the control of two brainwave imprints, they split into two squads to continuously distract the Fourth Rank exotic hawk around its body.

Song Chi didn’t expect these Soldier Figurines to cause much damage to the exotic hawk; he only needed them to attract some attention and alleviate some of the pressure that the Cang Qiong would have to face.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The raging wind howled, and a hurricane with a diameter of two thousand meters swept towards the Cang Qiong as the exotic hawk spread its wings.

Follwing this, the exotic hawk itself, wrapped in the thin Law of Wind, shot out, whirling around its body a dozen Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines that had no way to counter this.

Here, the engine and thruster of the Cang Qiong were operating at overload, easily dodging that formidable storm. At the same time, the fore of the ship, the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon], was rapidly charging.

With the explosion of the level 49 orange main cannon, the nearly two thousand meters long Sword Light Phantasm collided with the incoming Fourth Rank exotic hawk, leaving a wound several hundred meters long on the right wing of the hawk after a violent explosion.

“Squawk!”

The intense pain of being torn apart made the Fourth Rank exotic hawk cry out but it didn’t stop flapping its wings. Instead, it mobilized even more of the Law of Wind to gather on its wings, its speed becoming even more astonishing.
