Chapter 605: Chapter 319: A Gathering of Heroes·All Parties Converge_2

As Song Chi spoke, the Song Bei on the other side became increasingly embarrassed. Although he had a good impression of Annie, this was the first time someone had been so direct with him in person.

While chatting, the mid-distance teleportation star gate in front finally began to charge, and all the warships in the starry sky slowly started moving toward the star gate.

Despite the frightening number of warships gathered in the starry sky, the diameter of this mid-distance star gate was also astonishing; it was not difficult to accommodate and teleport all warships at once.

Once all the warships had entered the star gate, the charging of the entire star gate also quickly ended, followed by an amazing diameter of white light shooting upwards. The next second, the neatly suspended innumerable warships within the star gate all simultaneously plunged into intense weightlessness.

Accompanied by violent spatial fluctuations, all the warships disappeared from their original location.

In the southern part of the principality, nearly ten thousand light-years from the Golden Dragon Star Domain, lay the Dusk Star Domain.

...

As the pioneer territory of the Dusk Marquis family, the Dusk Star Domain, just like the Dinghai Star Domain, nominally belonged to the Chenxing Principality, but in reality, it was the personal domain of the Dusk Marquis family, which had absolute control over this star domain with a diameter exceeding two thousand light-years.

Today, intense spatial fluctuations emitted from the mid-distance star gate transfer station in the northern part of the star domain, followed by an astonishing number of Torch warships appearing within the Dusk Star Domain.

This location was still hundreds of light-years away from the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment, so the group of warships did not linger long and activated spatial jumps one after another.

A few days later, in the Dusk Star Domain, Fragment Star Region.

As the location of the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment, this star region was simply named the Fragment Star Region.

Song Chi did not know when the Torch Ship captains of the Dusk Star Domain had arrived; by the time the Cangqiong arrived, the group of Torch warships from the Dusk Star Domain were already there, led by the flagship of the Dusk Marquis, also a sixth-rank Fearless-class Torch warship.

Compared to the Golden Horn Lu Clan’s [Radiant Golden Vessel], the flagship of the Dusk Marquis could only be considered an up-and-comer, but none dared to underestimate it.

Because everyone in the Chenxing Principality knew very well that the Dusk Marquis must have had an unusual encounter. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to advance his flagship to sixth rank in just over two thousand years.

Because outsiders did not know exactly what opportunity he had obtained or what kind of trump cards were on his warship, the Dusk Marquis became ever more mysterious.

“All right, the time is almost up. All Zhulu warships and those of higher ranks listen to our three commands and get ready to act against the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment Shield,” said the voice of the elder of the Golden Horn Lu Clan in the group chat.

Duke Rosetta had not come personally, so naturally, he was the main commander here, given that his flagship had been upgraded to a Fearless-class for the longest period, even longer than the Dusk Marquis’s flagship and the [White Night Chenxing] combined.

In the main control room of the Cangqiong, as this voice sounded, Song Chi once again turned his gaze towards the distant block enveloped in the circular energy shield, which completely obscured the interior view of the Floating Land… Fragment.

Even if one could not capture the entire picture of the other party, the specifications of the Floating Land Shield itself allowed for a preliminary estimate of its rough area.

They called it a Floating Land Fragment, but Song Chi estimated that the diameter of this fragment would not be less than tens of millions of kilometers, far exceeding the area of a third-rank Starry Sea Floating Land, making it hard to imagine that it was just a tiny fragment broken off from another Starry Sea Floating Land.

Outside this Floating Land Fragment, the circular light shield covering it entirely was even more astonishing; a significant amount of Mysterious power circulated above it, with a great deal of Floating Land Rule Power adhering to the shield, providing terrifying defence to this Floating Land Fragment Shield.

Just with one distant glance, Song Chi instinctively felt it was invincible, and that was the weakened state of the Fragment Shield; one could only speculate how formidable the defence must be at its peak.

“`

“No wonder they say that even Rosetta Duke and the Lu Family ancestor, when they combined their full strength, couldn’t even slightly harm the Fragment Shield at its peak…”

With a sigh in his heart, Song Chi instinctively thought that this was just a small piece that had broken away from the main Floating Land, and immediately felt a sense of alarm, struggling to remain calm.

Merely a fragment of the Floating Land possessed such might; one could imagine just how terrifying the Immortal Realm Continent behind it must be.

A seventh-rank Floating Land probably wouldn’t qualify; it would have to be at least of the eighth rank, a life-form type within the Starry Sea Floating Land. Only a Floating Land of this level could contain such fearsome power.

While he was lost in thought, the Fearless Ships, nearly ten battleships, and dozens of Zhulu Warships simultaneously launched an assault, unleashing terrifying attacks from the Super Main Cannons at the bow, charging violently towards the distant Immortal Realm Continent Fragment Shield.

These nearly a hundred attacks consecutively hit the same point on the Floating Land Fragment Shield, with their terrifying might continuously bombarding the already severely weakened Energy Shield; it wasn’t long before the Fragment Shield could no longer withstand it.

Crack, crack, crack!

As the subtle sounds of fracturing reached the ears of all the Torch Ship Captains present, a myriad of cracks followed soon after.

But don’t think it was over just yet; the resilience of this Floating Land Fragment Shield was far beyond imagination. At the moment, this was merely a sign of slight fracturing. To truly tear open a small hole in the shield, which would allow the subsequent cruisers to enter and exit, the Zhulu Warships, battleships, and Fearless Ships needed to continue their bombardment.

One day later, more and more cracks appeared on the Floating Land Fragment Shield, resembling an ever-expanding web. Yet, it still showed no sign of tearing apart completely.

After three days, it was still the same; the only difference was the cracks on the shield had widened considerably.

On the seventh day, these cracks finally shattered completely, opening a fissure over a kilometer in diameter on the Floating Land Fragment Shield.

Just as all the escort ship and cruiser captains were getting excited, the voice of the Lu Family ancestor once again echoed through the space.

“Alright, this fissure will only last for half a year. Everyone must return within half a year; otherwise, bear the consequences.”

Hearing this icy statement, a chill ran through everyone, and the excitement and impulse in their hearts slightly subsided.

As for the outcome of not returning within the set time, everyone was clear, as such situations had occurred before, and the results were almost always extremely cruel.

The weakening period of this Immortal Realm Continent Fragment Shield may only last one or two hundred years, which for the Cruiser Captains with a lifespan of six hundred years might seem acceptable; but this had nothing to do with lifespan or time.

It was about the unimaginable dangers contained within the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment itself; although there were many opportunities, the key question was whether one had the life to seize them.

Forget one or two hundred years; even spending just two or three years within could mean a nine out of ten chance of death. Historically, cruisers that had lingered inside mostly ended up sinking, over ninety percent of them. Only a handful managed to come out when the Floating Land Fragment Shield opened for the second time.

Moreover, these few people mostly shared one trait: during those one or two hundred years, they had mostly dared not to explore afar, instead staying within relatively safe areas, biding their time for decades or even a century, which allowed them to last until the second opening of the Floating Land Fragment Shield.

If that were all, perhaps people wouldn’t be so frightened. The temptation of incredible opportunities was not small, and if one could use this as a method, further assisted by remotely-controlled Soldier Figurines to slowly explore, it wouldn’t be unacceptable.

The crux of the matter was that within this Immortal Realm Continent Fragment Shield, it was impossible to commence exploration of the Alien Star Domain, which meant that the Torch Ship Captains staying within would be unable to improve their strength or foundation for the nearly two hundred years to come. This was the most unsettling point.

Nearly two hundred years without any advancement in strength essentially cut off a Cruiser Captain’s path to further advancement.
