Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 999 - 520: Launch_2
Chapter 999 -520: Launch_2
Since both Sixth Rank and Fifth Rank Fire Crows are present, it means the silver-tier Fire Seed which can be converted into an upgraded Fire Source is likely here as well. Furthermore, eliminating all high-ranked Fire Crows of the Fire Crow Clan will allow prolonged concealment afterwards, granting them more time for operations.
In contrast, Song Chi aboard the red Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong felt a tinge of sentimentality.
The “Peeping Cloud” feature of the [Cloud Gazing Plate] bears considerable resemblance to the “Heavenly Eye” feature of [Heavenly Eye], though its effects seem slightly superior. Even in the geothermal eruption points deep within, which possess significant geomagnetic interference, the “Peeping Cloud” feature remains unaffected.
After a brief moment of admiration, Song Chi quickly refocused.
While the “Peeping Cloud” feature is immune to geomagnetic interference, its observational range pales in comparison to the “Heavenly Eye.” According to Zhao Xingzu’s statement, the “Peeping Cloud” feature enhanced to Lv60 has a maximum observational range of only 100 million kilometers. In contrast, the “Heavenly Eye,” capable of scanning thousands, ten thousand, or even millions of light-years, is vastly superior.
Before he could dwell further, Song Shixing’s voice echoed in the group chat.
“Little Chi, let’s enact a dual-layer blockade together. This will be even safer!”
“Understood!”
Before long, [Space Lock Seal] and [Dinghai Dragon Ship] simultaneously activated same-quality Spatial Blockade components in sequence.
Not long after, the central region of the Fire Crow Mountain Range soon alerted members of the high-ranked Fire Crow Clan.
A Fifth Rank Fire Crow surged out of the Fire Crow Mountain Range, ascending into the Vault of Heaven. Massive waves of blazing flames erupted from its 10-kilometer wingspan, shooting directly toward the depths of the Vault of Heaven.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Under the fiery energy assault, the inner spatial barrier triggered by the Fearless Ship [Dinghai Dragon Ship] trembled slightly, generating subtle spatial ripples.
However, since it was only a Fifth Rank Fire Crow causing the disturbance, its flames were unable to shake the spatial barrier fortified by Sixth Rank silver components.
Sensing the formidable resistance of this spatial barrier, the Fifth Rank Fire Crow folded its fiery wings. Moments later, an audible screech issued from its throat.
At first, the sound resembled cries; but upon spreading, it transformed into a statement in Universal Starry Sea Language.
“This is the territory of the mighty Fire Crow Clan, vassal of the Flame Sparrow Clan. Which clan dares to tread so brazenly here?”
Before the voice fully faded, an intense beam of light erupted from the void.
Swoosh!
A blinding pillar of light pierced the void, instantly obliterating the head of the Fifth Rank Fire Crow before it could even react.
With a single hit, the gigantic corpse of the Fire Crow plummeted powerlessly. This scene alarmed the hundreds of thousands of Fire Crows residing in the mountain range, causing them to swarm out in masses, their fiery red figures flying toward the thirty-plus warships of the Song Family that had emerged from stealth mode.
However, the Song Family warships showed no urgency to retaliate. Only Song Tiancong’s flagship near the front charged its ship cannon, fueling its attack feature.
Within a brief moment, forty-two colossal Quantum Sword Lights converged at its forefront. This was the hallmark of [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform]’s “Taiyi Quantum Sword Array” feature.
At this point, tens of thousands of Fire Crows had already ascended into the fiery skies, clustering into dense groups—a perfect scenario for the “Taiyi Quantum Sword Array” to unleash its area-of-effect prowess.
Indeed, [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform] was an asset Song Chi had detached from [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk] using lossless dismantling technology before lending it out. Although the elder of the Tian Cong Clan, despite being younger by a century or two than Song Tianhao and Song Tianshu, had almost reached the end of his lifespan, he wanted to try pushing for promotion to battleship rank in his final days.
Given this, Song Shixing naturally didn’t interfere, seizing the opportunity to fully utilize the million Fire Crows of the Fire Crow Clan.
Forty-two Quantum Sword Lights roared forth, sweeping into the tens of thousands of fiery red Fire Crows. Inside Song Tiancong’s flagship, prompt notifications sounded repeatedly. Meanwhile, the promotion success rate displayed on the newly opened [Warship Promotion Task Panel] steadily increased.
After maximizing the attack features of all ship cannons aboard Song Tiancong’s flagship through “Taiyi Quantum Sword Array,” the group finally took collective action.
One energy wave after another detonated, sending shockwaves in all directions. Deep within the mountain range, the hidden Sixth Rank Fire Crow was finally roused.
Chirp! Chirp!
A sharp screech echoed from the depths below before a massive red-colored specter shot skyward.
Before the experienced Sixth Rank being could fully unleash its latent power, two unique chains emanating from the void precisely entangled it in rapid succession.
[Divine Binding Chains]—Bloodstained Divine Chain
[Space Lock Seal]—Heavenly Prison Chains
One red, one silver—both reinforced to their respective component’s Great Rank limit. Their binding force was beyond imagination.
In an instant, the soaring figure of the Sixth Rank Fire Crow froze in place. No matter how it tapped into its internal Law of Fire and Energy, it couldn’t escape the chains’ grasp within a short timeframe.
Seconds later, three beams of light struck from above.
The three beams emanated from three separate warships:
Song Chi’s Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Shixing’s Dinghai Dragon Ship, and Song Yan’s Red Flame Boiling Sea.
Interestingly, while all three used attack features, they only applied regular ship cannon attack features—not the super main cannon.
This resulted in the Sixth Rank Fire Crow being severely injured rather than outright annihilated.
But this was precisely their intent: leaving the decisive strike to Song Tiancong.
With the defenseless Sixth Rank Fire Crow easily taken down, wiping out the remaining clustered Fire Crows became merely a matter of time. Fortunately, each Song Family warship deployed ten Hellfire Mechs, and with over three hundred Fourth Rank Hellfire Mechs assisting, cleanup speed drastically improved.
A few hours later, the entire Fire Crow Clan was eradicated by the Song Family, along with the completion of resource collection and inventorying from the Fire Crow Mountain Range.
Magnetic communication chat buzzed as the elder responsible for inventory promptly sent out the summarized resource statistics.
Initial resource plunder outcomes:
Over four-digit quantities of Starry Sea Oddities: one strand of silver-tier Upgrade Fire Source, five strands of red-tier Upgrade Fire Sources, twenty-six strands of orange-tier Upgrade Fire Sources, one silver-grade convertible Energy Shield Oddity, thirty-two red oddities, three hundred ten orange oddities, and close to five-digit quantities of purple or lower oddities.
Two strands of Seventh-Order Floating Land Origin, 6,800 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin, 120,000 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin…
One Earth Attribute Law God Crystal, one Metal Attribute Law God Crystal, various Fire Attribute Materials, and tens of thousands of tons of assorted mineral resources…
Additionally, one massive Fire Cloud Crystal Ore Vein, one medium-sized Fire Copper Ore Vein, and seven small Fire Attribute Ore Veins…
Scanning through the data, Song Chi quickly lost interest.
Of all these items, the most valuable was the strand of silver-tier Upgrade Fire Source, though he no longer had any use for it.
What surprised Song Chi was the Fire Crow Clan’s wealth compared to the Heavenly Star Civilization he had encountered before; clearly, the Fire Crow Clan had far richer resources.
Although the clan held a Sixth Rank being as its pillar, it was worth noting that they were obligated to make continuous tributes to the Flame Sparrow Clan. This interplay led Song Chi to attribute the sheer abundance of assets to the inherent richness of the Eighth Level Floating Land itself, further igniting his fervent anticipation.
According to members of the Hidden Pulse faction, the Fire Crow Clan had occupied the Fire Crow Mountain Range for only a short time—merely around the last thousand years since their emergence on [Red Star Continent].
A clan with merely one Sixth Rank being and a short thousand-year development already amassed far more wealth than the ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Star Civilization. Then what about other Sixth Rank Alien Civilizations?
As thoughts swirled in his mind, the chatter in the group escalated.
Song Shixing decisively claimed the strand of silver-tier Upgrade Fire Source.
“I won’t hold back on taking this silver-tier Upgrade Fire Source…”
No one objected, as if Song Shixing could elevate his Seed of Torch to silver grade, his flagship’s combat power would soar—an essential boon to the Hidden Pulse faction as a whole.
With Song Shixing securing the Upgrade Fire Source, everyone turned toward Song Yan and Song Chi.
Unexpectedly, the two shook their heads simultaneously.
