All of this happened in an instant. Just as the Starry Sea Alien Races had not yet understood the reason, and were in awe and suspicion as the Flame Giant suddenly appeared, questioning what was about to happen, the Flame Giant high in the Vault of Heaven spoke.

"By the command of my master, I am to punish the Alien Races who dared to strike at the Ruins Market. No need for panic!"

His voice followed the rules of the Ruins Market, not only clearly reaching the ears of every Alien Species present but also allowing them all to instinctively understand the meaning, eliminating the need for translation.

In an instant, all the Alien Races understood. They knew that there was a being outside the spatial entrance that was attempting to probe and attack the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

"It's just not known what kind of being has made the move..."

While the Alien Races were speculating, the Flame Giant, enhanced by the Law, had already made his move.

One could see its crimson right arm raise fiercely, and immediately an immense amount of Flame Energy, along with an extensive degree of the Law of Fire, gathered to form a staggeringly long illusory flame palm.

As the Flame Giant reached out his arm, this illusory flame palm swiftly slammed towards the previous space gate used by the Qingtian Tribe to enter and exit the market below.

"So it was the Qingtian Tribe..."

An Alien Race member who had earlier witnessed several from the Qingtian Tribe coming and going muttered to themselves, instantly sparking a wave of discussion among the many Alien Races nearby.

"They purchased so many Red and Orange Oddities at once, I had suspected that the powers behind them were no simple matter. I never thought they would dare to strike at the lord of the Ruins Market..."

"They truly do not know whether to live or die!"

Elsewhere, a hooded figure flying away suddenly had a look of utter terror in his eyes as he sensed the terrifying energy fluctuation behind him.

"Sixth Rank, this is an attack of Sixth Rank Level; even to strike through the endless void, it carries the power of Sixth Rank. Damn it, could it really be the presence of a great being of Dominator Rank?"

It was roaring inside, its eyes swirling with intense regret, but at this moment there was no time to think too much. Energy of Fifth Rank Level emanated from within its body, Red Oddities revolving around it, but there was no time to employ too many methods. The huge fiery hand reaching out from the space gate behind it was already spanning overhead.

The hooded figure's eyes contracted violently, and in the next second, an illusory palm saturated with extensive Law of Fire laws slammed down.

Boom boom boom!

Intense roars spread throughout the Primeval Forest, flames potent enough to incinerate anything radiated outwards, twisting the very air of the entire world.

However, there were no spatial rifts formed, for the Level of the Ancient Continent was not ordinary, and the stability of the space above the Floating Land was astonishing.

Tens of thousands of miles away, atop West King Mountain.

The Third Candidate Holy Son suddenly stood up from his meditative state, sensing the violent energy fluctuation from afar.

"A Sixth Rank powerhouse has made a move; could something have gone wrong?"

Within the Primeval Forest, the horrifying flames had burned around them, creating a vacuum zone with a diameter of several hundred thousand meters. In the middle of this pitch-black vacuum zone, on the earth, a massive handprint depression was left.

Who knows how much time had passed, a haggard figure crawled out of the handprint crater. The black robe that was worn earlier had long been reduced to nothing by the intense flames, revealing the aged face of a Qingtian Tribe member beneath.

At this moment, the aged Qingtian Tribe member still had deep fear in his eyes. His left arm was missing, and there were horrific burn scars all over his body.

...

Back at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the arm of the Flame Giant was retracted back, and along with it, retracted from that spatial gate, was a bloodied arm.

Looking at the severed left arm that obviously came from a Qingtian Tribe member, all the Starry Sea Alien Races below unconsciously swallowed, their eyes still filled with undiminished fear.

Because at this moment, someone in the crowd was explaining.

"Blood gleaming with a pale silver light, Fifth Rank, this is the arm of a Fifth Rank Qingtian Tribe member!"

"That's right, this pressure, it's even greater than the Fifth Rank Lords of our continent."

When the words "Fifth Rank" were pronounced, they immediately prompted a chorus of sharp intakes of breath.

Starry Sea Fifth Rank Life, that was a formidable existence that could become the Lord of a Star Domain, even in some intermediate Starry Sea Civilizations, such a level of combat unit could serve as the civilization's last line of defense.

Yet, it was this kind of existence, which in the eyes of most Alien Races was merely legendary, that had easily lost an arm across the boundless Void Space.

Don't misunderstand the crucial point, the emphasis is on the act across the endless Void.

This meant that the Flame Giant above could not possibly be just Fifth Rank, but was more likely Sixth Rank.

Starry Sea Sixth Rank Life, yet merely one of the servants under the command of the Ruins Market Lord, one could imagine, what level of existence must the Ruins Market Lord himself be?

Song Chi was extremely satisfied with the reaction of the various Starry Sea Alien Races, his move this time around had clearly achieved all the intended effects.

His gaze shifted towards that Fifth Rank arm of the Qingtian Tribe, his eyes shimmering with light.

Yes, he did not kill that Fifth Rank Qingtian Tribe member, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Endowed with the laws of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the Flame Giant, though its Life Pressure and intensity of Law had fully reached Sixth Rank combat power, was after all attacking remotely through Void Space, and coupled with the suppression from the Floating Land's Origin Rule of the Ancient Continent, this was as far as it could go.

However, even though he hadn't directly killed the Fifth Rank Qingtian, he had inflicted no minor injury, not only disarming it but also leaving behind numerous wounds from the inexhaustible Law of Fire, which would probably condemn it to spend the next hundred years in the extreme torment of burning flames.

Above the Vault of Heaven, as Song Chi's thoughts shifted, the towering Flame Giant slowly dissipated, everything soon returned to normal. However, this could not soothe the turbulent hearts of the various Starry Sea Alien Races, who remained agitated long after the transaction at the Ruins Market had completely ended.

At the moment when all the Alien Races were teleported away and only Song Chi was left in the entire Ruins Market, his face, which had been without any abnormality, suddenly turned deathly pale, and severe sharp pain coursed through his mind.

After taking a short breather, he uttered a light, bitter laugh:

"Indeed, showing off always comes at a price..."

Right now, his condition was the result of backlash from the laws of the Ruins Market. If one could inspect the various conditions inside his body, they would find a complete mess.

The reason?

Who are you kidding, the Ruins Market itself was only at a Third Rank Level at present. Did you really think it would so easily provide Legal Enhancement for a Fifth Rank Level Flame Giant?

There was a price to be paid for everything!

The Flame Giant was okay, despite some backlash, but its strong regenerative ability meant it wouldn't take long to recover. However, Song Chi was different; he was merely a member of the Starry Sea Human Race.

Compared to those Alien Species of the Starry Sea known for their physical bodies, the disparity was huge, after all. The basic constitution of humans was set, and no matter how the body was enhanced, it would never compare to creatures like the Starry Sky Behemoths, Giants, or the Dragon Clan.

"Now, it's good, isn't it? The Flame Giant has just been out for a short time, and now I have to get in myself..."

He was referring to the "Life System Medical Repair Pod" component, which was mainly designed to treat physical injuries and was not very effective against backlash from laws. Nonetheless, it would speed up recovery more than leaving it to heal naturally.

Thinking that the Flame Giant had just recovered from the self-destruction injuries of a Fifth Rank Mechanical War Beast, and he himself was about to lie down in it immediately afterward, made Song Chi feel somewhat helpless.

But this was just a personal sigh. If he had to do it again, he would still choose to make the Flame Giant take action.

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Song Chi summoned the Cang Qiong.

Before going to the Medical Cabin for treatment, he wanted to first complete the necessary enhancements.

The first to burst out of the Cang Qiong was the Thorned Flying Dragon, which seemed to have caught the scent of the blood emanating from the Fifth Rank Qingtian Tribe arm Song Chi held, darting out of the Warship and flying straight toward him.

Seeing its eagerness, Song Chi seemed to think of something, his eyes lighting up as he quickly said,

"This item, can it advance you to Fourth Rank?"

Compared to before, the desire conveyed by the Thorned Flying Dragon was particularly intense, and given that it had already reached the Third Rank Peak in the hierarchy of life, it could not help but lead Song Chi to consider this possibility.
