Chapter 225 Fourth Rank Void Demon·Another Red Epic Relic_2
“A Fifth Rank Level Silver Apple Mother Tree, exchanging blows with a Fourth Rank Void Demon?”
After intensely observing the Silver Apple Mother Tree under the siege of four Void Demons for over ten minutes, Song Chi finally noticed something unusual.
“The aura emitted by this Silver Apple Mother Tree is gradually weakening!”
Indeed, although the extent of the weakening wasn’t large, Song Chi’s careful perception still made him discover this point.
In an instant, Song Chi seemed to understand something.
“Could it be that this Silver Apple Mother Tree, like the Queen Insect and Mother Insect from the Buluo Civilization Ruins I encountered before, is undergoing a continuous decrease in rank due to a lack of energy supply?”
As soon as this speculation formed in his mind, Song Chi was almost certain that it wasn’t far from what he had thought.
This also explained the issue with the size of those two silver apples.
During his thoughts, a dozen hours quickly passed, and a few hours ago, the rank of that Silver Apple Mother Tree had completely fallen from the Fifth Rank, and its size had shrunk from ten thousand meters to five thousand meters.
As the rank of the Silver Apple Mother Tree dropped, the four Void Demons, which had only been able to rely on their Void Force to fight cautiously nearby, gradually became much more composed, and the blades of Void they continuously threw began to leave more and more cutting marks on the trunk of the Silver Apple Mother Tree.

In the distance, from within the Spatial Wormhole, something alarmed Song Chi, as he caught the subtle movements of one of the Fourth Rank Void Demons continuously closing in on a particular area.
As the saying goes, the players are blinded by the game, and the spectators see it clearly; those engaged in battle could not detect its slight movements, but Song Chi, as a spectator, clearly saw the other party’s intentions.
The area it was desperately closing in on was a hidden region behind the trunk of the Silver Apple Mother Tree. Song Chi controlled the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine to move a small distance in the shadow of the Void, switching positions to keep watching that area.
With one look, he immediately caught a glimpse of an extremely faint red light.
“Is this a Red Epic Quality Strange Object?”
Song Chi’s heartbeat slightly quickened. Behind the Silver Apple Mother Tree, where some values were deliberately obscured, a few streaks of red light were visible.
If he wasn’t mistaken, what the Silver Apple Mother Tree was deliberately concealing was most probably a Red Quality Starry Sea Oddity.
Once certain of this, Song Chi, who had previously managed to keep his composure, started to breathe heavily.
A Red Epic Level Starry Sea Oddity, irrespective of whether it could be transformed into a warship component or not, was absolutely unimaginable in value.
He had to find a way to obtain it; he could not let these Void Demons get their hands on it cheaply.
Song Chi narrowed his eyes, a cold light passing through his gaze.
But at this moment, another problem arose that made him uncomfortable.
The continuous operation time of the Brainwave Remote Control System component was almost up.
The lv30 Brainwave Remote Control System had an operating time of 18 hours, and that time was nearly up.
If he deactivated this component now, not to mention whether the Red Strange Object would fall into the hands of the Fourth Rank Void Demons during the subsequent Buffer period.
Even if the battle between them and the Silver Apple Mother Tree continued until that time, the commotion caused by the new set of Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines reentering this Secret Realm would inevitably not escape the notice of both parties in the battle.
Based on this, Song Chi quickly made a decision.
The remaining Third Rank Floating Land Origin and Titanium Crystal along with some others were all taken out by him.
After five consecutive attempts, the Brainwave Remote Control System component was enhanced to lv35.
Not only did its control distance increase to 4 light-years, but its duration also increased from 18 hours to 23 hours.
Upon seeing this, Song Chi finally felt a bit more reassured.
This battle in the Secret Realm Space obviously couldn’t last much longer. The Silver Apple Mother Tree had been continuously consuming its own energy to cope, and it couldn’t hold on for too long.
Just like that, nearly two hours had passed.
The battle inside the secret realm had also reached a critical stage. The Silver Apple Mother Tree had already dealt with one of the four Fourth Rank Void Demons, and another was heavily injured, leaving only two still capable of fight. However, its own state was also extremely precarious.
Originally, it had just fallen from the Fifth Rank and still had the combat power of the peak of the Fourth Rank, but now it was left with only ordinary Fourth Rank combat power. If this continued, it might be slowly ground down to death by the remaining two Void Demons.
It was at that moment when the Void Demon, which had been looking for an opportunity, suddenly flashed, taking advantage of a flaw exposed by the Silver Apple Mother Tree and instantly moved to the location of the Red Curio with its void ability.
Just as it reached out to grab the Red Curio, a small rift suddenly split open in the void beside it, and from within, two strangely shaped mechanical devices shot out.
Boom, boom!
Two Goblin Mana Bombing Drones landed on the side of the Void Demon and then exploded violently.
The might of a Third Rank Level explosion was basically just a slight annoyance for a Fourth Rank Void Demon with laws of space enhancing its whole body. However, this sudden and unexpected change caused the Void Demon to hesitate momentarily, and that split-second was precisely what Song Chi needed.
Before the Void Demon could react, a puppet arm reached out from the void and seized the Red Curio that the Silver Apple Mother Tree had deliberately concealed, before swiftly retracting back into the void.
Seeing this, blood-red fury welled up in the eyes of the Void Demon, and a brutal aura surged out from within it.
Even from the shadowy side of the void, Song Chi could still faintly feel the overbearing nature of this aura.
Swish!
A pure silver branch, hundreds of meters in length, lashed out fiercely and struck the Fourth Rank Void Demon, sending it flying in an instant.
The fact that the Silver Apple Mother Tree continued to consume its already limited energy to conceal the Red Curio highlighted its importance.
Feeling the loss of the item, and with only one adversary left behind it, it naturally directed all its fury towards the Fourth Rank Void Demon.
The Void Demon, exuding a thick and violent aura, did not pay any heed to the Silver Apple Mother Tree. While still in mid-flight from being repelled, it vanished silently, merging into the void as well.
As a favored child of the void, how could it not be aware of the methods used by the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines before?
However, as it hastily pursued the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines through the dark face of the void, those Figurines had already taken the chance to rush towards the entrance high above in the Vault of Heaven.
“Quick!”
Song Chi’s Brainwave Beacon rapidly issued commands. He couldn’t afford to check the attributes of the Red Curio that was now in his possession. Instead, he prayed that the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could elude the pursuing Void Demon.
He was all too aware of the terror represented by a Fourth Rank entity. Although the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were similarly enhanced to LV40, they did not possess control of a special Supernatural System and were merely larger ants in the presence of a true Fourth Rank lifeform. Therefore, it was imperative that they not let the Void Demon catch up.
The Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines successively rushed through the gaping hatch door, and in the next second, they tumbled from the shadowy side of the void. The space inside the warship was extremely stable and did not support travel through the void.
Without the boon of void power, the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could only move step by step towards the breach not far ahead.
Although Song Chi was anxious, he had no solution. Within the confines of the enormous ancient warship, it was as if there were a natural rule that no lifeform could violate.
Just like the Fourth Rank Void Demon that had also emerged, floundering from the void, it too could only pursue the Soldier Figurines step by step.
Nevertheless, it was indeed a true Fourth Rank Unit, and the law force coursing through it allowed the Void Demon to move through the central corridor more swiftly than the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines. As time progressed, the distance between them gradually closed.
Seeing this outcome, Song Chi naturally grew more anxious.
In his agitation, neither he nor the Fourth Rank Void Demon noticed that the cultivation chamber originally an independent space had quietly vanished. What had been a separate secret realm space was now just another ordinary alloy chamber of the warship.
Swish!
A whistling sound came from behind. Glancing back with the corner of his eye, Song Chi’s hands subconsciously clenched.
The Void Demon had initiated an attack.
The next second, however, joy appeared in his eyes.
Though the attack hit one of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines from behind, it did not deal serious damage. Instead, the blow was blocked by an automatically triggered “Plasma Shield.”
