Chapter 409: Chapter 221: The Infamous Star Devouring Vine

As the brilliance faded, the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] was successfully enhanced to lv40.

Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon lv40

Feature 2: Main Cannon Might Increase by 130%

Consumption: 5000/per use (Spectral Energy Points)

{Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light: After charging for 20 seconds, it unleashes a massive sword intent slash in a designated direction with 1000% the might of the main cannon, destroying everything in its path.}

Joy flickered in Song Chi’s eyes.

The enhancement of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon to lv40 increased its might to a terrifying six million five hundred thousand, and the attack boost of its feature “Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light” shot up to a staggering 1000%.

This meant that if there were any creatures without armor of some sort, they would have to withstand damage exceeding sixty-five million points under this one strike, almost enough to reduce by half the Shield Value of a lv40 Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator.

…

After the enhancement of the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] component, Song Chi could say he was knocked back into square one with nothing left–upgrading any other components in the short term was out of the question.

Accepting this fact, he turned to seriously consider the matters related to that [Star Devouring Vine].

Although that distant relative, Song Fu, said that the opponent had not yet fully mastered the Power of Laws of devouring, Song Chi couldn’t simply take his words at face value–he must consider the worst-case scenario.

For him, the worst scenario would be an unexpected event that would prevent him from returning to the Torch Human Civilization Territory. As for dying at the hands of that Star Devouring Vine, there was no need to worry.

With Neutron Star Core Armor, a Void Escape Orb, and the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at his disposal, he was still absolutely confident in his ability to save his own life.

After much consideration, Song Chi decided upon the [Enslavement Medal] component.

Not willing to give up on Blood Barbarian Continent without a fight, it seemed the only component that might come into play was this one.

Thinking it over, he took a trip to the Ruins Market and brought back a Second Rank member of the Four-Armed Blue Blood Race.

The [Enslavement Medal] was activated, and the Second Rank Blue Blood was successfully enslaved.

It was fortunate that after enhancing to Fourth Rank, the number of enslavement marks provided by the [Enslavement Medal] increased from 5 to 6; otherwise, Song Chi would have had a real headache.

After all, the entities he currently enslaved–two Third Rank members of the Soul Spirit Clan along with Zhao Lei mining in the Asteroid Belt, a Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race guarding the spatial wormholes to that Ancient Starry Sky Battlefield, and the silver giant python, the spirit beast of the [Totem Spirit Column], which if sealed would halt the daily accumulation of Faith Value–none could be sealed off again.

There really wasn’t any option left for another to be sealed.

Once enslavement was successful, Song Chi took out a [Ruins Market Walking Command] from the market and handed it to the Second Rank Blue Blood.

In the event that he went to the Star Devouring Vine’s location in the Alien Star Domain, this Blue Blood would be left at home; if an accident really occurred during the action, this Blue Blood would become the link connecting him with his family back home.

And he believed that with his family’s foundation, there should be a way to retrieve him from the Alien Star Domain.

After sorting this out, Song Chi logged back into the family forum and took down the post he had just put up, replacing it with a brand new one.

[Paying a high price for shipborne secondary cannons with Shield Breaker, Armor Break, or binding-type features; secondary cannons preferred, willing to pay up to 30 Golden Merits!]

The Cang Qiong had been at Second Rank for over a year, but until now, only two of the four secondary cannon slots had been used, a point that had always stuck in Song Chi’s craw. Seizing this opportunity, he wanted to try and get his hands on one or two top-rank, high-quality secondary cannons.

At the same time, his gaze shifted to the [External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher] component.

If speaking of strong firepower components aboard the Cang Qiong, apart from the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, it was likely this orange-quality external launcher. But now, there were only 400 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin and 136 Titanium Crystals left in hand, barely enough to manage a 3-4 level enhancement, which wasn’t of much use.

Helplessly, Song Chi abandoned the thought of enhancing and entered the Ruins Market to continue his Cultivation of the Guidance Technique.

He didn’t rush to use that Firethorn Fruit in hand; after a significant advancement just happened, he needed to consolidate for a while.

Seven days later, at the Vault of Heaven on Taihe Mountain.

A composite beam shot from Song Fu’s “Fortune Ship” cruiser to the nearby Cang Qiong.

As the beam tightly fused the two Torch ships together, the “Fortune Ship” quickly activated the Alien Star Domain energy charging.

In the main control room of the Cang Qiong, Song Chi wore a slightly puzzled expression.

He marveled that this distant relative, Song Fu, a five hundred-year-old Third Rank Torch Ship Captain, really had many rare special components on his flagship–first the Proportional Scaling Instrument and the Holy Cross Beacon, now a Torch Warship docking device, each and every one of these special components was exceedingly rare.

As he marveled, a sudden sense of weightlessness overtook him.

…

In the quiet expanse of space, Song Chi watched through the warship display to the indescribable Starry Sea Floating Land at the edge of his sightline.

The continent, nearly one light-year in diameter, was a supercontinent yet so barren that it could compare to the Yellow Sand Floating Continent he had first encountered.

The desolate land, rolling yellow sands, and in stark contrast, the lush, thriving, thousands of kilometers long green vine in the center of the continent, all formed a striking contrast.
