Chapter 454: Chapter 243: Orange [Shadow Breaker Cannon]

Song Chi’s goal was very clear, the Merit Tower above the 60th floor.

Prior to this, he had already roamed the 1st through the 60th floors of the Merit Tower numerous times, and hadn’t come across any Spiritual protection components of Purple Quality or higher, nor had he seen any components for purifying negative statuses.

Originally, he had thought that this was due to the impact of the previous Soul Spirit Floating Land expedition, but now that he understood the relevant information about the Evil Buddha Continent, he realized that things were not so simple.

Because of this, he actually didn’t hold much hope for the levels above the 60th floor of the Merit Tower.

The resources held by a Level 7 life-type Floating Land were unimaginable, and it was needless to say how the Clan Elders felt about such a Floating Land, after all, if they could gain even a little from it, they might be able to use it to help their flagship reach the level of a Fifth Rank Battleship in one fell swoop.

Based on this, the components related to Spiritual protection in the clan were almost certainly already exchanged, making it unlikely that any were still in stock.

On his way to the 60th floor of the Merit Tower, just as he had seen before, there were no components related to Spiritual protection on the entire 1st through the 60th floors.

With a trace of trepidation, Song Chi stepped onto the 61st floor, which required 150 Golden Merit Points to access, an amount his account could just satisfy.

Walking into the 61st floor and scanning around, a trace of clear surprise flashed in his eyes.

Compared to the slightly smaller 51st to 60th floors, the 61st floor obviously had signs of spatial folding technology, with a much larger area and far more exchange counters than expected.

As he checked around, he quickly had a realization.

Item Name: Vampire Marquis Primordial Blood

Exchange Price: 100 Golden Merit Points

…

Item Name: Golden Armored Giant Beast Primordial Blood

Exchange Price: 120 Golden Merit Points

…

Item Name: Vampire Duke Primordial Blood

Exchange Price: 1500 Golden Merit Points

…

Most of the items in these counters were Primordial Blood from Fourth Rank or even Fifth Rank creatures, and Song Chi even saw the Primordial Blood of that Golden Armored Giant Beast.

However, these sources of Primordial Blood, which had a strong attraction for other Torch Ship Captains, were of no interest to him, except for a brief examination at the counter with the Vampire Duke Primordial Blood of the Fifth Rank Level.

Besides these Primordial Blood, Song Chi also saw a Law Crystal of the wood attribute, the lowest kind, and other components of Orange and Red Quality, mostly main cannons and energy shields, which were of no use to Cang Qiong.

With a furrowed brow, Song Chi had an ominous feeling in his heart.

And indeed, his sixth sense was not wrong, as he browsed all the way to the 69th floor and still found no components related to Spiritual protection.

Holding onto his last bit of hope, he stepped onto the 70th floor of the Merit Tower.

Two minutes later, as expected, there were still no Spiritual protection components, but this time there was a slight gain.

In front of a counter on the 70th floor of the Merit Tower, Song Chi stopped in his tracks.

In front of him, inside this counter, there was a component that radiated a burning orange light.

Hmm… an orange Shipborne Secondary Cannon.

Shadow Breaker Cannon lv0

Quality: Orange

Feature: Shadow Demon-Breaking

Feature 2: Secondary Cannon Might increased by 45%

Consumption: 5/shot (Spectral Energy Points)

Might: 6.2

No need for buffer and charge

UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 1000 Spectral Energy Points, 10kg of Shadow Stone

{Shadow Demon-Breaking: The secondary cannon has a 1% chance to trigger the Demon-Breaking effect with each attack, temporarily weakening the enemy unit’s surface energy shield by 1% of the current Shield Value, with the same Energy Shield being weakened by up to 10% of the highest Shield Value.}

At first glance, a 1% chance seemed pitifully low, but upon further consideration, it wasn’t quite so.

First of all, these were just the attributes at lv0, and once the Enhancement Level went up, the numbers would inevitably increase significantly.

Secondly, don’t forget this was a secondary cannon with no buffer time limit, under continuous fire, the chance of triggering was actually not as low as one might imagine.

He glanced down at the exchange price.

110 Golden Merit Points

After a brief consideration, Song Chi decided to make the exchange, as Cang Qiong had been promoted to Second Rank for two years, and of the four secondary cannons, only two were currently mounted, indeed looking a bit shabby.

Of course, before exchanging, Song Chi didn’t forget to try to go to the 71st floor, but the outcome was clear, even though he had more than 200 Golden Merit Points in his account, he was still stopped.

To continue to the 71st floor, it required more than 500 Golden Merit Points.

Knowing this, Song Chi instantly lost interest, as 500 Golden Merit Points was an amount he couldn’t gather in a short time.

Although there were still more than a dozen corpses in that ancient battlefield of the stars, comparable to the peak of Fourth Rank, it was not simple for Cang Qiong to go and collect them, as a number of safe routes had to be established in advance, and this wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

Even though he had already commanded that half-step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race to continue exploring for safe routes, and now a large number of Humanoid Alien Races were exploring with creatures from the asteroid belts, it was estimated that it would take at least two years to fully open over a dozen safe routes.

After all, the furthest corpse of ten thousand meters was nearly a hundred thousand kilometers from the spatial wormhole exit.

Without giving it any more thought, after exchanging for the Shadow Breaker Cannon, Song Chi didn’t linger and left the Merit Tower, heading straight back to Green Moon Manor.

With only seven days left to him, he had no time to waste.

In the free stall area of the Ruins Market, inside Cang Qiong.

After mounting the Shadow Breaker Cannon, he immediately began to enhance it.
