National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 280 [Ningkong Tower] · Fifty Years · Song Family Ancestor
In the Sky, Song Chi rubbed his eyebrows, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the past five years, he has never found any abnormality in this space wormhole, let alone the idea that it is not a natural wormhole but an artificial one.

What it ultimately came down to was that his current vision was too narrow, and this was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time; it would take a long time to gradually enrich his experience.

The group did not stay in the core space of this giant asteroid for too long and continued to move forward along the space wormhole.

When all the warships rushed out from the other end of the space wormhole, most people were shocked by the scene before them.

Although I had heard the term "hundreds of thousands of kilometers" from Song Chi more than once before, the shock was still deeply rooted when I saw it with my own eyes.

Even though most of those present were fourth-rank Xinhuo captains who had lived for hundreds of years, a seventh-rank Overlord Civilization warship was something they had never seen before.

Not to mention that the battleship in front of them is still waiting for them to explore further.

Even among the three ten-thousand-meter battleships, the three ancestors of the family showed excitement in their eyes. For them, this was also a great opportunity.

At this moment, on the far right of the three battleships, the only female among the three fifth-rank ancestors of the Song family spoke:

“Shiyuan, use your [Void Condensing Tower] component. According to the current situation, within five years, this starry sky will be completely swallowed by the void. For the family, this is far from enough…”

In the main control room of the battleship [Acala], Song Shiyuan nodded slightly. As his mind changed, the next second, silver light flashed in the battleship, and the silver-quality [Condensing Void Tower] component was activated.

Behind the three battleships, Song Chi and others only saw a majestic law of space surging out from the [Acala], and then spreading to the entire surrounding starry sky at an unimaginable speed.

With this sudden change, everyone soon discovered that the starry sky around them seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

In the battleship communication group chat, an elder who was of high seniority noticed the abnormality at the first time.

"Space is frozen!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked around, and then found that it seemed to be true. This extremely broken starry sky had become completely still without anyone knowing when.

Not only did the space gales in the void cracks in the starry sky cease to move, but even the void that was originally expanding wildly outside this space stopped.

Just when everyone was curious, the voice of the Central Plains Ancestor of [Acala] sounded again.

"I have imprisoned the surrounding starry sky for fifty years. After fifty years, this starry sky will completely collapse. We don't have much time left. If you have special means of exploration, don't hide them. The family will not lose out on your share of benefits..."

These words completely aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and soon various remote exploration methods emerged one after another.

Looking at the three battleships again, during the battleship communication, the three people looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

The next second, thirty terracotta warriors were thrown out one after another. The landing point was exactly the safe area outside the "weapons depot corridor" that Song Chi had explored not long ago.

This scene was captured by Song Chi at the first moment, and then his eyes twitched slightly.

Among the thirty terracotta warriors, twenty are level six, and the other ten are at the peak level five. At this moment, they are gathered outside the armory corridor at the same time, and the pressure they exude is no weaker than that of ordinary level six creatures.

Song Chi had of course informed the family early on about the news that a sixth-order void demon was gnawing at a silver legendary artifact, so at this moment the three ancestors' target was precisely those sixth-order and fifth-order void demons.

A silver legendary item and multiple red epic items. Even the captain of a fifth-tier battleship was extremely envious. If they had time, they certainly did not want these items to be destroyed in vain by the mouth of the void demon.

Thirty terracotta warriors poured into the crack that Song Chi had told them about before. This naturally alarmed the fourth-level void demon guarding the corridor, and a conflict broke out.

For the sixth-level terracotta warriors, although they are also pseudo-sixth-level, due to the huge level difference, fourth-level life forms are no longer their opponents.

Of course, it was not a one-sided massacre. It would still take a certain amount of time for a sixth-level terracotta warrior to kill a fourth-level creature head-on.

However, this is under the premise of one-on-one combat. At this moment, there are twenty sixth-level terracotta warriors here, so the battle will naturally be overwhelming.

"Be careful, the sixth-level void demon and the fifth-level void demon have been alarmed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a level 2 void demon rushed out from the open hatch of weapon storage , followed closely by several level void demons, and the battle was about to break out.

A few minutes later, the faces of the three people in the battleship darkened.

"No, this Void Demon has the combat power of a senior sixth-level warrior. The sixth-level warriors alone cannot pose much threat to it."

"Can we lead it out of the battleship? As long as there is no battleship hull blocking it, I can freeze it in mid-air!"

In the battleship [Acala], Song Shiyuan shook his head.

"A sixth-level Void Demon has high intelligence. It's very difficult!!"

The three of them discussed it and finally came to the same decision.

“Let the First Ancestor come out of seclusion. It’s not just this sixth-order void demon. If my perception is correct, the life pressure inside the battleship must be at the seventh-order level. With the terracotta warriors under our command, even if we succeed in killing this sixth-order void demon, it will be difficult to bring back the corpse of the seventh-order master!”

"agree!"

……

In the main control room of the Sky, Song Chi answered the call from the master.

"Chi, do you want to stay here or go back to Dragon Ridge Continent?"

Song Chi was stunned, but soon understood something. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"I can't participate in the follow-up here, so let's go back to Dragon Ridge Continent!"

Obviously, Song Xuancang had already seen that his guiding technique had broken through to the third level, but his mental power still remained in the mortal state. There was naturally only one result, that is, he had not absorbed the drop of fourth-level soul-cleansing liquid, so Song Xuancang took the initiative to ask him whether he wanted to return to Dragon Ridge Continent.

After figuring this out, Song Chi made the best choice for himself.

If he continued to stay here, he could only watch other members of the clan explore the super giant flagship. Instead of doing that, it would be better to return to the Dragon Ridge Continent to absorb the fourth-level soul-cleansing liquid and completely transform his mind into a divine state.

"Master, once I absorb the fourth-level soul-cleansing liquid and reach the state of mind, the subsequent inheritance of secret techniques and the comprehension of laws..."

The original ancestor had said before that the subsequent exploration of this starry sky might have to continue for another 50 years. It would naturally not take that long to break through the mind of a divine state, so Song Chi had to consider these things in advance.

Song Xuancang smiled and said:
"Don't worry about that. My projection clone is still in the clan. When you have transformed your mind into a divine state, you can go directly to the ancestral temple. Then my projection clone will naturally take you to the Dragon Ridge Secret Realm."

After receiving this reply, Song Chi had no other questions and turned the Sky around and returned to the core space of the giant asteroid. Here, the third-order transit warship had been waiting for him. In addition to the two cruisers, there were also many second- and third-order clansmen in the transit warship opposite. They were all responsible for the transit between the two star fields in the future. They had already summoned warships to place space beacons in this asteroid belt.

A beam of light was shot out from the Sky again, and when the integration was completed, the two cruisers simultaneously activated the battleship's active return function.

You heard it right. During the exploration of alien domains, you can not only return passively when 24 hours are up, but you can also actively return in advance. However, the Xinhuo battleships generally do not use this function. After all, 24 hours of exploration time is not long, so who would choose to return actively?

As for those who are in danger, the charging time required for active return is very long. It is basically difficult to wait until this function takes effect, and the Xinhuo battleship has already sunk.

A quarter of an hour later, violent space fluctuations were heard around the two Xinhuo warships, and then they disappeared together into the core space of the asteroid.

Above the Dragon Ridge Sacred Mountain, the two Xinhuo warships quickly separated. The Sky warship leapt straight towards the Qingyue Manor, while the other cruiser just hovered quietly in the air.

Then a third-rank Xinhuo captain jumped out of the battleship's hatch and summoned his own ship at the same time.

With the appearance of this cruiser, the previous cruiser fell downwards with a dozen tribesmen, leaving only the second cruiser quietly floating, as if waiting for something.

Song Family, Dragon Ridge Secret Realm.

Song Xuancang's projection clone flew all the way and finally stopped under a huge mountain.

If Song Chi were here, he would definitely find that this mountain range was the ancient mountain range he had seen before that looked like a crawling dragon whale.

After landing on the ground, Song Xuancang's projection clone took a step and walked all the way up the mountain.

Yes, we did not choose to fly, but instead climbed up the mountain step by step.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when the projection was still some distance away from the top of the mountain, it stopped. Not far in front of him, on a raised blood stone, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.

The figure was dressed simply, sitting quietly cross-legged, yet seemed to have merged completely with the mountain below. From time to time, wisps of mysterious power flowed through his body. The two completely exclusive feelings of ordinary and mysterious were constantly intertwined in his body.

Behind him, Song Xuancang's projection clone's eyes were full of respect, but before he could speak, a calm voice had already reached his ears.

"Young Cang, is there something wrong?"

Song Xuancang bowed.

"First Ancestor, it is like this..."

After he respectfully described the whole thing, the figure in front of him called the First Ancestor had quietly disappeared at some point. When the voice reached Song Xuancang's ears again, it was already beside him.

"The Three-Eyed Royal Family's seventh-order battleship? Seventh-order life pressure? After only a few hundred years of seclusion, the clan actually found an opportunity of this level?"

Song Xuancang's heart shuddered, thinking that his ancestor's comprehension of the laws of space might have reached a new level. As someone who also followed the path of the laws of space, he was unable to notice any of it in advance.

Although he is just a projection at the moment, he is also extremely terrifying.

Without daring to think too much, Song Xuancang continued:
"It was discovered by a young man from the family's newly opened tenth direct lineage. Not long ago, he handed over an extremely valuable silver component to the family!"

"Since you can describe it with the four words 'extremely good', it shouldn't be bad. Where's the screenshot of the attributes?"

After looking at the attribute diagram displayed by Song Xuancang, the voice beside him sounded again.

"Not bad, not bad. If it can be upgraded to level 6 or even level 7, it will be of some help to my ship in the future. This contribution is not small. Remember not to mistreat the little fellow below."

"Let's go, Three-Eyed Royal Flagship. If we can really get something good, my Dinghai Song Clan may have a chance to get a glimpse of the Immortal Clan in the future!!"

Song Chi naturally had no idea about what had happened in the Dragon Ridge Secret Realm. After returning home, he first greeted his parents, and then went directly into the Zhutian Market.

In the free stall area of ​​the market, Song Chi sat cross-legged quietly on the ground, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, which contained the drop of fourth-grade soul-cleansing liquid.

Looking at this drop of soul-cleansing liquid that was originally exchanged for fifteen Spirit-Quenching Fruits, Song Chi's eyes flashed with an extremely determined look.

This time, he wanted to break through the state of ten functions at once and reach the state of divine thought.

But before that, he did not rush to use this drop of soul-cleansing liquid, but turned around and activated the limit-breaking state.

His mental power is now at the level of nine functions in one mind. When the limit-breaking state is activated, he can just step into the level of ten functions in one mind.

His idea was very simple. Although the spiritual state transformed in this way would not last long, it could allow him to feel the power of the spiritual state in advance, thereby increasing his chances of successfully transforming the spiritual state using the soul-cleansing liquid later.

With the activation of the limit-breaking state, Song Chi only felt that he had one more thought. Under these ten thoughts, the power of his mind seemed to be catalyzed by an unknown energy, which continued to surge wildly in his mind.

Song Chi could feel that his mental power was undergoing a great change, a change from virtual to real. A large amount of mental power was constantly blending, and in this blending process, the originally illusory mental power was rapidly condensing.

It was during this process of continuous blending and solidification that, after breaking through a certain limit, Song Chi discovered that his own mental power was able to overflow from his mind.

Countless tiny threads transformed from the mind continued to extend outwards, and several third-level soul cores that Song had deliberately stacked on his side began to float in the air. That was the ability to control objects with thoughts that only a mind in a divine state could do.

In addition, Song Chi could also sense the strands of mysterious power around him at this moment. Those were the laws of the secret realm of the market town. He could not sense them before, but now he discovered their existence in this state of mind.

Song Chi even had a hunch that as long as he took out a few law crystals at this moment, he would be able to gain a preliminary understanding of the original laws contained therein.

But before he could do so, an intense feeling of fatigue surged into his mind, which was a sign that the limit-breaking state had reached a limit.

Helpless, he could only quit.

And as he exited the state of breaking the limit, the spiritual state of mind that had been transformed before suddenly receded like the tide.

This feeling made him feel inexplicably lost, but he was soon overwhelmed by intense fatigue.

Song Chi didn't think much about it and fell into a deep sleep on the spot. Only by keeping his spirits well could he start to absorb the drop of fourth-level soul-cleansing liquid.

Just as he was in a deep sleep, there was a distant ancient battlefield in the starry sky.

As a Xinhuo warship with a length of 100,000 meters appeared, all the elders of the Song family said respectfully at the same time:

"Welcome the First Ancestor!"
