Chapter 420: Chapter 226: Red Component [Chicang’s No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm]_2

“`

“Here it comes!”

Once the words were out, a streak of red light shot out from the front crevice.

The prepared Second-Rank Humanoid Alien Race member caught the red light accurately, having readied themselves for its arrival.

However, hot on its heels came a Law Blade, howling through the air.

Even as it merely grazed the second-rank member of the Humanoid Alien Race, it cleaved the entire lower half of their body in two.

In a moment, the radiance in the humanoid alien’s eyes began to dim rapidly.

Before succumbing to death entirely, it managed to use the last of its energy to activate the silver token clutched in its left hand.

Ahead, the cold gaze of a Fourth Rank Void Demon peeked out from the breach in the gigantic Tri-Eye Race flagship, catching sight of the second-rank humanoid alien disappearing into thin air.

Disappearing with it was that eye-piercingly bright, red-hued Starry Sea Oddity.

Huff, huff, huff!

A brutal aura overflowed from its form, and its already vermillion eyes turned an even deeper shade of red.

Rage swelled in the heart of the Void Demon.

After all, it had schemed for a thousand years to obtain this Red Curio.

At first, the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] was a Sixth Rank life form, which, after a millennium of relentless harassment, had recently degenerated to a barely Fifth Rank.

It had hoped to secure the Red Curio in one fell swoop, but to its shock, an unknown party had preempted it, igniting unimaginable fury within.

The Void Demon’s icy gaze swept across the starry sky but found no traces left by the sneak thief, a circumstance that fueled its fury yet gave it no outlet for rage.

As for the spatial wormhole in the far-off field of vision, despite its ten thousand meter diameter, this size is inconsequential in the face of the tens of thousands of kilometers separating them. Not even the vision of a Fourth Rank lifeform could capture it.

After several scans, the Void Demon, facing the grand horror hidden in the starry sky ahead, suppressed the violence in its heart, daring not to step forward recklessly.

As for Song Chi, he knew nothing of these events. His brainwave beacon had completely malfunctioned, and he entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market without hesitation.

In the market, at the inn’s third floor, outside the fourth Walkers’ Room tucked toward the back, Song Chi swiftly pushed open the door.

In the center of the Walkers’ Room the Second-Rank Humanoid Alien Race member was already lifeless.

This did not surprise Song Chi.

At the moment of the humanoid’s death, he, as the enslaver, was the first to be notified. Now, his gaze fell upon the clenched hands of the alien.

In its left, it held the silver-colored Ruins Market Walking Rank; in its right, lay a palm-sized orb.

Watching the intense red light emanating from the orb, Song Chi’s breathing grew heavier.

He strode into the room and, with the help of the Power of Laws, the second-rank humanoid’s corpse quickly dissipated into nothingness, leaving only two objects in the room.

Song Chi first cautiously secured the fourth Travel Command into his Ancestral Torch, then turned his anxious gaze to the palm-sized orb on the other side.

As he observed, the attributes of the orb were swiftly revealed.

[Strange Object: Secret Realm within the Palm]

[Quality: Red/Starry Sea Secret Realm]

[Convertible: {Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm}]

[Note: A secluded cultivation chamber crafted by the Tri-Eyed Royal Family “Chicang” through special means, which, with time’s refinement, has transformed into a Red Epic Quality Starry Sea Oddity.]

“Tri-Eyed Royal Family, Chicang…”

Song Chi immediately grasped these two critical pieces of information, inciting even more astonishment.

Among the ten supreme civilizations categorized by the Torch Human Civilization, the Tri-Eye Race ranked ninth, and the Tri-Eyed Royal Family were their Dominators.

This alone suggested the incredibly high status of the original owner of that colossal ancient flagship far away.

However, these weren’t Song Chi’s immediate concerns; he was thrilled that the treasures aboard the warship would surely be more abundant if its owner held such a high status.

After the excitement subsided, his attention returned to the orb in his hand. According to the attribute description, this orb could be converted into a ship component.

Spectral Energy surged within him, slowly converging towards the orb in his hand. With each thread of Spectral Energy infused, the ship component feature of the oddity also quickly materialized.

Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm lv0

“`

Quality: Red

Feature: Plant growth rate increased by 70%

Feature 2: Success rate of grafting alien plant species increased by 20%

Feature 3: Secret Realm Accelerator

Consumption: 20/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Effect: Once equipped, the secret realm will be fully bound to the warship, turning it into an onboard secret realm accessible at will.

No need for charging and buffer

Current creatures in the secret realm: Silver Apple Mother Tree (Sealed), two Fourth Rank Void Demons (Sealed)

UpRank Requirement: 50 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 5000 Spectral Energy Points, 5 Zero Rank Void Crystals

Note: This component requires an additional 3 slots

{Secret Realm Accelerator: Consumes 10,000 Spectral Energy Points to perform a one-time acceleration of the secret realm, current acceleration rate is 10x (current component level), cooldown time 1 year.}

After reviewing the attributes before him, Song Chi’s eyes flickered.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely rare and precious warship component.

Not to mention anything else, just the Silver Apple Mother Tree within it was immensely valuable.

If he could keep accelerating the secret realm, he would be able to continuously produce “Silver Apples,” a rare resource.

Not to mention the “Secret Realm Accelerator” feature, which allowed for a free round of acceleration every year. Although the acceleration time seemed negligible at present, once the enhancement level increased, that acceleration rate would become significantly impressive.

Adding to that its feature of “plant growth speed,” it was a perfect match.

Finally, what surprised Song Chi was that those two Fourth Rank Void Demons were also sealed inside. If he could enslave them later on, wouldn’t he always have two true Fourth Rank beings as personal guards?

With this thought, how could Song Chi not be excited?

Moreover, seeing the component from Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm made him think of the Totem Spirit Column component as well.

He had always been troubled by how difficult it was to accumulate Faith Value with just the few enslaved creatures he had. It would take a year to fill up the Faith Pool.

But now, with this onboard secret realm, he could specifically breed a group of alien races to provide faith. In this way, the Faith Pool of the Totem Spirit Column could be replenished at any time.

As this idea flashed through his mind, Song Chi felt more confident in this approach.

This Breeding Secret Realm was different from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market; there was no need to let an alien race enter every month. He could breed a sizeable group of totem vassal races.

Shaking his head, Song Chi stopped dwelling on the thought.

Whether it was feasible depended on the actual breeding results. Right now, the most important thing was to equip the component and enhance its level as much as possible.

Besides, he was still thinking about those two Silver Apples.

With that in mind, Song Chi equipped the component onto the Cang Qiong and directly enhanced it to lv20. Regrettably, he didn’t have enough Titanium Crystals at the moment; otherwise, he would have enhanced it to lv30 without a second thought.

Of course, he was also short on Second Rank Void Crystals.

This component was excellent in every other way, but it needed a fair amount of Void Crystals for enhancement, which was somewhat troubling.

As for the attributes after enhancing to lv20:

Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm lv20

Quality: Red

Feature: Plant growth rate increased by 110%

Feature 2: Success rate of grafting alien plant species increased by 28%

…

UpRank Requirement: 30 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, 35,000 Spectral Energy Points, 10 Second Rank Void Crystals

Note: This component requires an additional 3 slots

{Secret Realm Accelerator: Consumes 70,000 Spectral Energy Points to perform a one-time acceleration of the secret realm, specific acceleration rate is 30x (current component level), cooldown time 1 year.}
