Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 654 - 344: Evil God Descends - Blood Pupils_2
What made Song Chi take a few extra looks was not the Orange Main Cannon, but the "Nightmare Fang," which was not convertible into a warship component.
[Strange Object: Nightmare Fang]
[Quality: Orange]
[Convertible: No]
[Note: A part of the "Book of Nightmares," a legacy Sacred Object from the Nightmare Sect on the Holy Dragon Continent. It is a millennium-old relic sought by the Nightmare Sect.]
This "Nightmare Fang" evidently had connections with a cult of an Evil God on the Holy Dragon Continent, which immediately sparked Song Chi’s interest.
He knew little about this Nightmare Sect, as it was not one of the most rampant evil cults.
However, he could deduce some information, the most important of which was that the Nightmare Sect’s power couldn’t be too formidable; otherwise, how could this object have remained in the treasury of the Zijing Flower Kingdom?
Song Chi had chosen the weakest among several kingdoms known to possess Red Epic Treasures precisely to target their treasures. The Zijing Flower Kingdom, with only one Fifth Rank Dragon Knight to its name, ranked amongst the weakest kingdoms on the Holy Dragon Continent.
In the empires, there were often more than a dozen Fifth Rank knights.
That the Nightmare Sect could do nothing against even the Zijing Flower Kingdom, which had only one Fifth Rank knight, indicated that the sect probably lacked Fifth Rank-level combat power.
In the southern part of the kingdom, Coastal City.
"How about it? Can we confirm that the Sacred Object pendant is indeed in this Seaside City?"
"Yes!"
...
Robel Eiyol was a fallen noble, his ancestors having once owned a barony not far from Coastal City. Yet, after generations, the barony had decayed, leaving him with only a small manor to his name.
Today, Robel was ecstatic. He had been lucky, encountering a greenhorn whom he had easily beaten in a game of chance, winning everything and claiming the so-called heirloom of the other’s family.
Thinking of this, he looked at the crescent pendant in his hand that emitted a faint silver light, and said:
"Faster, it’s almost dark, and we must return to the manor before nightfall!"
Outside, the guard driving the carriage nodded.
But just then, a mighty power unexpectedly descended upon the speeding carriage, and in an odd, unnatural way, the galloping carriage came to an abrupt halt.
The only things not petrified were the two people inside the carriage.
"Who... who are you?"
"This is a noble carriage of the Zijing Flower Kingdom, protected by the law of the entire kingdom..."
Before the terrified guard could finish, the two figures hovering quietly above the vault of heaven released their energy completely. The Life Pressure of Fourth Rank Level beings crushed the two First Rank squire knights inside the carriage into lumps of flesh.
The next second, the crescent pendant, emitting a faint orange glow, flew out of the carriage towards the two figures, whose faces were obscured in the night sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just then, the situation around them shifted once again, as dozens of figures materialized out of the void and rapidly converged, brandishing nearly identical pitch-black daggers and launching a fierce attack on the two Fourth Rank Evil God cultists.
Thousands of meters away in the high sky, the Cang Qiong was hidden in the void.
Watching from above as the Fourth Rank Nightmare Sect cultists were besieged by dozens of Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, Song Chi furrowed his brows.
"Only two Fourth Rank Evil God cultists came? As expected, the strength of this Nightmare Sect is a bit lacking..."
Muttering to himself, the Void Demon also joined the fight. Under the overwhelming power, the two Nightmare cultists soon fell into a hopeless disadvantage.
Two minutes later, one had fallen under the Space Splitting Blade of the Void Demon.
This scene seemed to infuriate the other Nightmare cultist.
In a moment of extreme madness, he suddenly stabbed his own dagger into his body and, as Chi watched in confusion, the blood inside turned black while unintelligible phrases spilled from his mouth.
Though unsure of what he was doing, Chi, who had read many Lovecraftian novels in a past life, instinctively thought of two words.
Sacrifice.
"No way, are they really going to summon some indescribable evil god?"
"An avatar of the evil god? Or perhaps a projection?"
For a moment, Song Chi felt both fear and curiosity.
His fear came from the fact that all the evil gods of the Holy Dragon Continent were likely natives who had reached the Fifth Rank limit and, after assimilating part of the Floating Land’s fundamental rules, their strength was certainly not to be underestimated.
As for the curiosity, it was naturally about the term "evil god."
Whether it was in novels from his previous life or the beings within the Shattered Starry Sea that claimed to be deities, they all possessed overwhelming mighty power, holding positions so strong that ordinary living beings would uncontrollably mutate merely from a glance or listening to their whispers.

Thus, he was instinctively quite curious about these evil gods of the Holy Dragon Continent.
Since they dared to proclaim themselves gods, they should indeed possess abilities beyond the understanding of outsiders, right?
During his indecision, there was another huge change in the Fourth Rank Level Nightmare Cultist below.
His flesh began to throb violently, numerous flesh buds squirming under his skin, all desperately trying to break free from the mundane body.
A large amount of black blood gathered, flesh disintegrated, and eventually, the entire body of that Fourth Rank Nightmare Cultist turned into a pool of black blood, leaving nothing else behind.
Witnessing this scene, even though he was nearly a hundred thousand meters away, Song Chi still felt somewhat nauseous, his eyes twitching repeatedly.
But this was clearly not the main point.
Song Chi clearly saw the pool of black blood, formed entirely from flesh on the ground, throbbing as if it had its own life. Despite being bombarded with several rounds of fire from Song Chi, it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.
As time passed, the black blood began to rise rapidly into the air, and within a few short seconds, it had gathered into a sphere of black blood with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, level with the Cang Qiong in the Vault of Heaven above.
Song Chi did not understand why the blood of a Fourth Rank human could gather into such a large sphere.
But his instinct told him it was better to retreat further away.
However, before he could maneuver the Cang Qiong to turn the warship around, the pitch-black blood sphere abruptly split open, and the next second, an indescribable vertical pupil appeared atop the blood sphere.
In the Cang Qiong Main Control Room, upon seeing the eerie blood-colored vertical pupil, Song Chi’s pupils contracted violently, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Even though there were two layers of defense with the energy shield and the warship armor, he could already sense the familiar chilling aura from outside.
"It really is an evil god..."
However, amidst the terror, his reaction was swift, with the warnings from the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain resounding in his ears.
[Unknown high-level energy radiation source detected, suspected to be the blood projection of the Nightmare Evil God, please evacuate as soon as possible.]
[Unknown high-level energy radiation source detected, suspected to be the blood projection of the Nightmare Evil God, please evacuate as soon as possible.]
[Unknown high-level energy radiation source detected, suspected to be the blood projection of the Nightmare Evil God, please evacuate as soon as possible.]
The successive urgent warnings prompted Song Chi to immediately turn the warship around.
Below, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines seemed oblivious to everything; they were puppets, not true flesh and blood creatures. However, the Void Demon was different, being a bona fide Fourth Rank Species.
One could see that under the irradiance of the pitch-black energy emitted by the blood vertical pupil above, the Void Demon’s entire body began to sprout tiny flesh buds that throbbed.
At the same time, its mind seemed to be filled with a multitude of unknown whispers.
This was because the Nightmare Evil God itself was only at the limit of the Fifth Rank, at most a Half-Step Sixth Rank existence, and its position was not too high. Otherwise, just in this instant, the Void Demon’s body would have undergone irreversible mutations.
Above in the high sky, the vertical pupil of the evil god seemed to possess intelligence, aware that both the Void Demon and the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were not its main targets. The oddly-shaped metal creation called Cangqiong was the real mastermind behind this.
Therefore, the gaze of the blood vertical pupil suddenly focused on the Cangqiong, which was in the process of turning its body.
Inside the main control room, Song Chi’s expression froze abruptly.
