#710 - [Battleship Promotion]

The heaven and earth were shaking, the void was torn apart again and again, and a small-scale space collapse zone was gradually evolving.

Unlike before, the two handprints that came down this time came from a true ninth-level master, and their power was much greater than the half-step ninth-level power carried by the projection of the Zhutian Market. As an eighth-level floating continent in the starry sea, even though the spatial stability on the Red Star Continent was extraordinary, it was still difficult to withstand the full force of creatures of this level.

Facing these two sky-covering hand seals, even though he was only standing from the perspective of the market projection, with the distant dark space of the virtual sea in between, Song Chi's heart was still trembling.

Not only that, he could also clearly sense his control over the projection of the Zhutian Market. The obvious obscurity that began to come from it was like he was suddenly stuck in a quagmire. The overall reaction of the projection of the market was completely suppressed by the two ninth-level auras as heavy as the deep sea above his head.

Even though they hadn't fought yet, Song Chi had already instinctively realized that it would be impossible to withstand these two sky-covering hand seals relying solely on the projection of the Zhutian Market, even with the blessing of the starlight from the projection of Yaoguang Star.

Thinking of this, his mind raced, and the powerful computing power granted by his spiritual state allowed his mind to evolve into hundreds of spiritual threads, each of which was fully focused on thinking about how to deal with the situation.

If the projection of Zhutian Market cannot be stopped, it means that there will be risks in the remote recall of Tianxu Cangqiong. At this critical juncture before the final promotion of the battleship, he will never allow any uncontrollable factors to appear.

After all, if an accident really happens, the result will be that everything will have to start from scratch, which is something Song Chi cannot accept.

Hundreds of thoughts flashed through thousands of coping methods in an instant, and finally settled on the two ultimate life-saving methods that had already been considered before this action.

Having stayed in the Red Star Continent for more than two years, causing trouble along the way, how could he not have considered this outcome?

Especially when many super civilizations have already settled in this eighth-level super-dimensional continent.

The Angels, Astrologers, Talismans... These civilizations are all top-level advanced civilizations or above. Each of them has the ability to destroy or completely control the Red Star Continent alone. But why have they been able to maintain a strange balance for hundreds of thousands of years? He would never believe that there is no secret deal among them.

"It seems that my previous guess was correct. This Red Star Continent is more like a trading place tacitly agreed upon by these super tribes. My large-scale action this time has obviously violated the rules they secretly set before..."

In the Zhutian Market, Song Chi was thinking in his heart.

At this moment, his eyes flashed again, and through the perspective of the projection of the Zhutian Market, he caught sight of another towering figure deep in the sky above the [Shura Blood City].

The third ninth-order master appeared!

Fortunately, he had already activated the two trump cards he had prepared.

First, a special energy surged out of the Tianxu Cangqiong, which turned into a vague black light. The amount of this energy was limited, but in a blink of an eye, it evolved into a special area around the black light transformed by the Tianxu Cangqiong.

It was exactly the "black hole field" characteristic of the [black hole evolution layer] component.

However, the absolutely invincible effect of this black hole field is only one of the two means of life-saving. There is another one on the other side of the Zhutian Market projection.

I saw the purple mist energy in the sky surging again. At a certain moment, the purple mist in the sky suddenly tore a crack, and then an illusory temple condensed entirely by purple mist energy and emitting three-color light appeared.

If it’s not the phantom of the [Dragon Whale Palace], one of the Song family’s greatest assets, then what is it?

The [Dragon Whale Temple] summoned by Song Chi with the help of the quasi-ninth-level power of the market projection exudes a strong ninth-level pressure. It hangs high above the projection of the market of the heavens, providing strong blessing for the projection of the market of the heavens.

First there was the projection of Yaoguang Star, and then there was the projection of the colorful lower-level wonder [Dragon Whale Palace]. With the dual blessing, the projection of the Zhutian Market became several times more condensed than the initial one, and even the aura emitted by the whole body seemed to have broken through the half-step ninth-level level and reached the formal ninth-level threshold.

In other words, the Dragon Spine Continent that the Song family has now integrated with the [Dragon Whale Palace] is only a seventh-level floating land. If it were replaced with an eighth-level floating land, the combat power of the Zhutian Market Projection would definitely be able to officially break through the ninth level, and might even reach the level of a senior ninth-level.

It seemed to take a long time to complete all of this, but in fact it was just a blink of an eye. At the moment when Song Chi launched his two countermeasures one after another, the two sky-covering hand seals above his head had already collided with the oncoming projection of the Zhutian Market.

A violent energy storm swept in all directions. Even the [Shura Blood City] below felt shaky under the residual power of the ninth-order energy storm. The city shield above the city, which had the peak eighth-order defense capability, was completely shattered after holding on for dozens of seconds. Afterwards, the ninth-order energy storm, which had not dissipated for a long time, began to rage directly in the city, and tens of millions of aliens were constantly being strangled.

However, the three ninth-level masters in the sky completely turned a blind eye to this and had no intention of stopping at all.

Just as Song Chi had guessed before, this Red Star Continent had long been a secret trading ground for these specific races. As for the lives and deaths of other humble races, what did they have to do with them? They were just alternative resources!

In this case, it would be better to take the initiative to negotiate.

"Sir, this floating land is a trading place jointly designated by our angels, astrologers, spirit talismans and other civilizations. You have violated the rules we have set by casually hunting low-level alien masters."

"If you promise not to take action from now on, we can make the decision to let the forces behind you join this trading alliance. But if you still insist on doing so, then you will be the enemy of our angels, astrologers, talismans and many other civilizations!"

Having said this, there was an obvious threat in the tone of these three ninth-level masters.

However, what made them look even more gloomy was that as the words fell, the projection of the Zhutian Market did not give any response, but quickly dissipated in the sky.

Compared to the anger of several top beings on the Red Star Continent, in the Zhutian Market, Song Chi, the person who caused this incident, had a sneer on his face.

He couldn't trust anything the three ninth-level masters said.

Angels, astrologers, and talisman civilization?

With just three ninth-rank masters, can they represent several giants that are at least top-notch advanced civilizations?

Not to mention the overlord-level angel civilization whose forces are enough to rival the wizard civilization, just the astrologer civilization and the talisman civilization, which one doesn't have a ninth-level combat force as many as two palms?

Unlike the Xinhuo human civilization, which has a history of only over 300,000 years, the Astrologer and Lingfu civilizations are both top-notch advanced civilizations with a history of nearly a million years. The ninth-level units in their civilizations are far less scarce than those in the Xinhuo human civilization.

If his guess was correct, the several forces that signed the special trading alliance on the Red Star Continent should be just like the Xianqin Dynasty in the Xinhuo human civilization, or the Blood Warlock Family Alliance in the wizard civilization. Although they are giant forces in each civilization, they are far from representing the entire civilization behind them.

As for why they did not agree to their proposal and integrate the Song family into the so-called trading alliance, the reason was simple.

The most important thing is that the market projection now only has the combat power of half a step to the ninth level, which is still far behind the real ninth level. Just for this reason, if the Song family really joins this trading alliance, they will be looked down upon first.

Secondly, given the current size of the Song family, it would be too much of a stretch for them to get involved in transactions with the ninth-tier giants of the star sea. It would also be easy for other forces in the alliance to see through their true intentions, or even plot against them in secret, which would be unfavorable.

In comparison, the Red Star Continent is right there. Instead of rushing to get involved, it is better to wait until the family's strength is improved. It will not be too late to come to them then.

With the family's current development momentum, plus the infinite resources of the entire Chipan River system's elite star field, and after the Tianxu Cangqiong is upgraded, it should be enough to gain more benefits in this civilization war. With all these factors added up, he believes that this time should not be too long.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and drove out all the ideas that could not be realized in a short time from his mind.

After calming down again, he put the Tianxu Cangqiong that he had just recalled into the Xinhuo Zuqiao, and then directly withdrew from the Zhutianxu Market.

…

Dragon Spine Continent, deep in the Dragon Spine Mountain, in the Dragon Whale Palace.

When Song Chi left the market, the Dragon Whale Palace was already filled with thick fog of chaos. Before he could think about it, he heard Song Shiyuan's question.

"Xiao Chi, the projection of the ancestral temple was suddenly summoned, but what accident happened on the Red Star Continent?"

After hearing this, Song Chi finally realized that this was the reason why the chaotic fog filled the hall.

He did not hide anything and quickly recounted the events.

After hearing everything, Song Shiyuan thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Xiao Chi, your decision is correct. With our current size, we are not strong enough to be associated with the ninth-level forces, let alone more than one."

…

The two chatted about this matter for a while, and finally Song Chi took the lead in getting to the point.

"Yuanzu, is everything ready over there?"

Hearing this, Song Shiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Chi, has the Tianxu Cangqiong met the requirements for promotion?"

Seeing Song Chi nod, Song Shiyuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he nodded repeatedly:

"It's already been prepared and can be integrated at any time!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked quickly out of the hall.

However, before leaving, Song Chi left the Flame Giant in the ancestral temple. There was a Star Moving Fleet of the Star Moving Chamber of Commerce outside the Floating Land, so he had to leave someone behind to look after the house.

…

Dragon's Back Continent, Falling Fire Plain.

Two dreadnoughts hidden in the void rushed into the large combined illusion one after another, and then headed straight for a wormhole corridor in the sky of the illusion space.

Dozens of minutes later, the two warships appeared in the Chipan River System, which was not far away from the Dragon Ridge Continent, which was moving at a high speed in the starry sky.

More specifically, it is the Chipan River System - the territory belonging to the Song family - the Chishe Star Region.

"Ancestor, is this the floating land?"

As soon as he rushed out of the space wormhole, Song Chi's question was heard on the communication channel.

Song Siwon smiled and nodded.

"That's right. This floating land is called the Red Snake Floating Land. It is the only floating land in the Red Snake Star Region. It was already at the peak of level six long before we occupied the Red Plate River System. Later, with the further help of the tribe members who were responsible for the "Floating Land Origin Core Stealing Mission", it has already reached the limit of level six floating land."

As he spoke, Song Shiyuan had already taken the initiative to pull out a storage capsule from the [Acalanatha].

Song Chi understood the meaning without any hesitation and controlled the Tianxu Cangqiong to pull the storage capsule into the battleship.

When the storage capsule was opened, it turned out to be a group of extremely high-level floating land origin cores.

A group of level seven floating land's floating land origin core.

This group of seventh-level floating land origin core was not extracted from any seventh-level floating land in the Chipan River system, but was stolen during the theft operations in the past hundreds of years.

Carrying the core of the floating land, the Tianxu Cangqiong swooped down all the way and finally followed a sinkhole into the deep core of the red snake floating land.

At the location of the underground floating land origin core, as Song Chi integrated the seventh-level floating land origin core in his hand into the original floating land origin core of the Red Snake Floating Land, the two origin cores began to merge rapidly.

At the same time, above the Red Snake Floating Land outside, the ground began to tremble slowly, and the energy concentration above the floating land was also rising rapidly.

Obviously, with the integration of a 50% concentration of seventh-level floating land origin core, this red snake floating land has officially been promoted to a seventh-level floating land.

Before the energy tide emerged, Song Shiyuan also quickly gave instructions in the family quantum communication group chat (Red Snake Floating Land Group).

"All tribesmen, be prepared. The energy tide is coming. Remember to activate the battleship upgrade when the energy tide reaches its maximum peak value. Tianhao, Tiancong, Xiaobei, Xiaoze, Yiming, especially you!"

"Don't worry, ancestor!!"

"My ship will definitely be successfully promoted this time!!"
