Chapter 617: Chapter 325: Tug-of-War Between Fearless Ships_2

Thinking this, Raymond’s eyes darkened as he gave the Mythical Mecha Giant, transformed from the Purple Moon Chant, a sullen glance before activating a special component on his warship.

With the activation of this component, Raymond’s flagship was immediately enveloped in a thick silver glow.

Seeing this scene, leaders from various factions of the Chenxing Principality around him flickered in their eyes, speculating what effect this silver component that Raymond had activated might have and what exactly he was planning to do.

While everyone harbored different guesses in their hearts, a familiar phantom gradually converged in front of Raymond’s battleship.

A mech giant with a stature surpassing one hundred thousand meters in phantasmal form.

Within the Golden Brilliance, the aged patriarch of the Lu Family squinted his murky eyes, and then he was heard murmuring to himself:

...

“White Night Chenxing, the warship projection of that old man Hadi Stark…”

On the other side, Angele Chenxing was also expressing his amazement.

“White Night Chenxing, a warship projection from tens of thousands of light-years away, seems to be indeed a silver quality projection component.”

At that moment, the Marquis of Twilight, who had always been on the fringe, also showed an unusual expression on his face.

“This old man, who’s already got one foot in the grave, has come out—looks like the Stark Family is dead set on a joint operation with the Principality. But by the looks of it, they seem unsatisfied with their previous share and aim to scrape some oil off the Dinghai Song Family and the Eagle Family…”

Just as all present had their various thoughts, Song Chi inside the Cangqiong felt once again the terrifying pressure; even though the mech giant transformed from the Ru Zu flagship took away ninety-nine percent of it, he still felt his breathing gradually become heavy as though he carried a mountain on his shoulders.

However, his attention wasn’t focused on himself but rather, filled with concern, looked towards the ten-thousand-meter mech giant ahead of him. If he felt this way, one could imagine how uncomfortable Ru Zu, who was alone bearing ninety-nine percent of the pressure from the distant one hundred thousand-meter mech giant projection, must be feeling right now.

Inside the ten-thousand-meter mech giant, Song Xingru’s face showed an abnormal flush of red. Despite her astounding physique endowed by her Fifth Rank Guidance Technique, she appeared so frail in the presence of Sixth Rank pressure.

This was not to say Song Xingru was weak—as the ancestral figure of the Dinghai Song Family’s geomantic lineage, her flagship had been upgraded to battleship status for more than a thousand years, and her current Guidance Technique had reached level 55, undoubtedly making her a senior level among all battleship captains.

The reason she appeared so vulnerable in the face of a mere projection, moreover one that had traversed tens of thousands of light-years, was because of the person on the opposite side.

That person was simply too strong!

First off, his presence was projected by a silver-quality projection component, meaning the strength of his duplicate did not diminish as much as one would expect.

Moreover, Hadi Stark was a genuine antique from nearly ten thousand years ago. Though nearing the end of his life with one foot in the grave, his warship had reached the combat power of an ultimate dreadnought thousands of years ago, in addition to being equipped with various foundational components of the Stark Family, rendering his combat power beyond the imagination of outsiders.

In front of a Fearless Captain of such caliber, Song Xingru’s performance was, in fact, quite commendable.

Withstanding the bursts of explosive sounds coming from all over her body, Song Xingru fiercely threw the red Blade Coin etched with sharp saber will in her hand.

The next second, her sharp voice echoed throughout the entire star domain.

“You think you can intimidate the Song Family with Sixth Rank? Is the Stark Family the only one with a Fearless Ship?”

No sooner had her words fallen than her second phrase followed at the fastest speed.

“Song Xingru greets the revered Prime Ancestor’s arrival!”

The red Blade Coin suddenly appeared in the outer space, and then a boundless surge of red light flourished. Amid numerous shocked gazes, a Mech Armor Projection also reaching a height of one hundred thousand meters emerged in the star space.

After this Mech Giant Projection appeared, the energy surging over its body easily neutralized the pressure brought by the Stark Family’s Fearless Ship Mech Armor Projection in front of it.

Suddenly, the oppressive feeling weighing on all members of the Song Family Clan entirely dissipated.

In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, Song Chi stared blankly at the sky above, or rather, it wasn’t just him—upon seeing that newly emerged majestic figure, every member of the Song Family Clan felt their hearts racing.

“So my Song family also has a Sixth Rank elder ancestor!!!”

…

Besides the Song Family Clan members whose hearts were stirring, all the Torch Ship Captains across the starry sky who witnessed this scene were also boiling with excitement.

“A hundred thousand-meter mecha, is this, this, this… Does the Dinghai Song Family also have a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship?”

“Damn, did I miss some major news? When did the Dinghai Song Family come to have a Fearless Ship stationed here? From the tone of the previous speech, is this the Song Family’s Prime Ancestor?”

To the side, from within several Sixth Rank warships, bursts of incredulous voices could be heard as well.

“Song Wujiang, have you finally also taken that step…”

“A Fearless Ship, Song Wujiang, I was wondering why the Song Family has been so quiet for the past few centuries, it turns out you just happened to take that step and needed time to consolidate…”

Compared to the arrival of the Stark Family’s “White Ghost” Mecha Giant Projection, the shock caused by the ascension of the Dinghai Song Family’s elder ancestor to a Sixth Rank Torch Ship Captain was evidently much greater.

After all, no matter what, the Stark Family’s stronghold was in the Yaohan Kingdom, tens of thousands of light-years away from the Chenxing Principality, making it difficult to influence every aspect of the Chenxing Principality.

However, the ascension of the Dinghai Song Family’s elder ancestor to a Sixth Rank Fearless Captain was entirely different. As a long-established power within the Principality, it could truly affect everything within the entire Principality.

In the starry sky, the “White Ghost” Mecha Giant Projection gazed directly at the Mecha Armor Projection of the Song Family elder ancestor, Song Wujiang, as if confirming something.

After confirming that Song Wujiang was indeed a formal Fearless Ship Captain, and not just some fake who had only reached the Fifth Rank through Guidance Technique, it seemed to acknowledge Song Wujiang’s status. The oppression of a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship was retracted, no longer deliberately targeting the members of the Song family.

Although strictly speaking, if it came down to action, Song Wujiang would most likely not be his match, but it also would not be so easy.

After all, he was projecting across tens of thousands of light-years, while Song Wujiang, though using only Red Quality Projection Components, was how far from the Dinghai Star Domain? At most just a little over 20,000 light-years away. If push came to shove, it would definitely be a tug-of-war.

Not to mention there was the supreme rule set by the Four Great Super Empires of the Torchlight Humanity looming over their heads.

Of course, the key thing was that after ascending to a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captain, Song Wujiang had gained a certain eligibility to participate in the subsequent joint actions of both sides.

Soon, the changes sweeping the entire Heavenly Disk Galaxy would descend upon the head of every Torch Ship Captain in the Heavenly Disk Galaxy. Even those forces with Sixth Rank combat power would only be able to drift with the current.

Despite the risks, this change also represented a tremendous opportunity. As long as it was seized, soaring to the heavens wasn’t out of the question.

If they truly wanted to grab this chance, the more Sixth Rank Torch Ship Captains they had, the greater the likelihood of success. This was why the Stark Family had traveled tens of thousands of light-years to seek an alliance with several powers of the Chenxing Principality.

Now, the emergence of Song Wujiang had undoubtedly added a fraction more combat power to this united force, and so, he acknowledged Song Wujiang.

Although the Yaohan Kingdom was not short of Sixth Rank combat power, those were mostly eyeing the Stark Family hungrily, only thinking of devouring the Stark Family’s not so genuine piece of fat—why would they join hands with them?

If it were not so, why would the Stark Family go from close to seek far and come to a remote Principality tens of thousands of light-years away in search of an alliance?

“Alright, let’s end the matter among the juniors here. There’s no need to harm the alliance’s harmony over this.”

In an instant, the Ultimate Dreadnought Captain of the Stark Family acted as if nothing had happened. His gaze shifted, looking towards the “Brilliance Far-reaching” and the “White Night Chenxing.”

“My time is short, let’s take this opportunity to renegotiate some of the things from before…”
