Chapter 773 - 408: Heavenly Star Floating Island_2
Everyone in the vein knew that for the current “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong,” resources produced above the third-rank Floating Lands were hard to come by, and only the fifth-rank Heavenly Star Floating Island was the place the “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong” should aim for.
Now that the Floating Land Shield of this goat Floating Land had completely shattered, with just the Furious Battle Mad Lion—a Zhulu Warship—it was enough to suppress this third-rank Floating Land. There was no longer a need for Song Chi to stay here.
Song Chi nodded; this was actually the plan he had set out earlier.
What did the “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong” need now?
Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin, Titanium Crystal, High Order Void Crystal, and high-level body forging resources—these could only possibly appear in that Heavenly Star Floating Land.
Moreover, the key point was that the distance from this goat Floating Land to the Heavenly Star Floating Land was not too far, less than a thousand light-years, and it was still within the operational range of the “Chapter of Shadow Descension” component.
Thus, even if some unforeseen circumstance occurred on the goat Floating Land, members of the vein could still summon the projection of the “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong” to fight, and even if they encountered a fifth-rank life form, the projection of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could still hold out for a substantial amount of time, enough for Song Chi himself to jump over.
…
Compared to the Dragon Spine Continent, this Heavenly Star Floating Island was significantly smaller in diameter, with a length of only seven light-years and a width of just four light-years, making it the most ordinary kind of fifth-rank Starry Sea Floating Land.
Even so, when the “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong” arrived through a jump, the Song Family’s flagship fleet still had yet to break through the Floating Land Shield of this land.
It wasn’t that the fleet lacked means to target this Floating Land Shield; in fact, a few days ago, a rather large crack had been torn open in the Floating Land Shield of this Heavenly Star Floating Land by the “Dinghai Dragon Steed.”
The reason they had not yet formed a completely stable entry and exit passage was because the high-level members of the Heavenly Star Tribe inside were making all-out efforts to block it.
Looking through the Floating Land Shield towards the inside, one could see dozens of fifth-rank members of the Heavenly Star Tribe, dressed in high-level Heavenly Star Power Armor, staunchly blocking the crack, surrounded by over forty fourth-rank members of the Heavenly Star Tribe, clad in intermediate Heavenly Star Power Armor.
The blockade of nearly fifty members of the Heavenly Star Tribe, coupled with the boost from the Floating Land’s Origin Rule of the Heavenly Star Floating Land itself, made it highly likely that even enslaved species of the sixth-rank level attempting to squeeze through the crack while reduced in size would be gravely injured.
It was only because the “Dinghai Dragon Steed,” as a Fearless Ship, had its energy shields and Warship Armor enhanced to the seventh rank, that it managed to keep the crack from closing; however, expanding this crack’s diameter further in a short period was considerably challenging.
Because of this, the Family Fleet was, for the time being, blocked outside the Floating Land Shield.
“Chi, my boy, you’re here too. Join the communication group chat!”
Seeing the arrival of the “Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong,” Song Xingru took the initiative to send a group chat link invitation.
This group chat wasn’t the high-level communication group for all Zhulu Warship Captains in the family, but a special encrypted group chat.
Aside from Song Wujiang and Song Xingru, the group included only Song Dingbang (Ancestral Vein Fifth Rank Battleship Captain), Song Tianhao (newly promoted Battleship Captain of The First Direct Lineage), Song Tianshu, and Song Tianmang—four people who were either the elders of the clan or of very high seniority, the youngest of whom was over 1600 years old. They were the most core members of the family.
As Song Chi, a member of the clan with a contemporary rank who had made significant contributions to the family several times, entered, the messages in the group chat quickly increased.
“Song Dingbang: Does this component have any feasibility? [Absolute Defense] JPG.”
Song Chi’s eyes first caught a message with an image of a component attribute chart attached.
Absolute Defense lv60
Quality: Silver
Feature: Absolute Defense
Feature 2: An additional 270% increase in the rigidity of the warship’s body when loaded
Feature 3…
Feature 4…

“`
{Absolute Defense: Consumes 400,000 Spectral Energy Points, the warship enters the absolute defense state, in the next 7 minutes, the warship’s received external attack power is reduced by 80%, with a cooldown time of 240 hours.}
Scanning the attribute chart, Song Chi’s eyes sparkled.
This component named [Absolute Defense] was not a Warship Armor type component, but a special auxiliary component which, when paired with high-quality Warship Armor and Energy Shield components, could definitely produce extremely powerful effects.
However, at the moment, everyone was shaking their heads.
Although the component was good, paired with a Battleship, it shouldn’t be difficult to withstand the attacks of dozens of Heavenly Star Tribe members clad in Powered Armor for a few minutes.
But the problem now was that a Battleship couldn’t enter the interior of the Floating Land; the crack above the Heavenly Star Floating Land Shield had a diameter of less than two thousand meters. Unless the Battleship Captain entered first and then summoned the Flagship afterwards, the risk would be too high.
“Song Xingru: Why not let the Sixth Rank Fire Dragon Lizard on my Flagship push through? Why bother with such trouble?”
Facing Song Xingru’s suggestion, Song Dingbang immediately vetoed it.
“Song Dingbang: Absolutely not, Miss Xingru, although your Fire Dragon Lizard is a Starry Sky Behemoth, it has only just stepped into the Sixth Rank not long ago. If it really charges forward in this reduced size and not at its peak state, the likelihood of it being bombarded to death is very high.
It’s not necessary to wastefully expend such a valuable Sixth Rank enslaved species, especially considering this is merely the appetizer of this pioneering war. The intensity of what follows will only get higher and higher.”
“Song Xingru: But if we continue at this stalemate, we won’t have any other solutions. Do we really need to use those trump cards? Once those components are used, they won’t be able to cool down for a decade.”
…
As they hesitated to come to a decision, Song Chi spoke up at this moment.
“I have a method we could try.”
This remark surprised everyone in the group chat.
“Song Xingru: Hurry up and tell us!”
Quickly, Song Chi gave a simple introduction to the “Purusa Time Realm” and “Neutron Link” Features, and then explained his thoughts.
After hearing what he had said, Song Xingru and the others nodded slightly, all thinking there was quite a feasible chance of success.
Song Chi’s method was actually quite simple: utilize the time domain class Feature “Purusa Time Realm” to slow down the reaction and thinking of the dozens of Heavenly Star Tribe members inside the Floating Land by many times over, then use this opportunity to attempt breaking through their firepower blockade.
The reason for using the “Neutron Link” Feature was to negate the effect on their own units.
One characteristic of the “Purusa Time Realm” Feature was that, aside from the stimulated warship, all objects would be within the domain’s effect range.
Based on this, Song Chi had already tested that once he linked with the Battleships of several prime ancestors using “Neutron Link”, the domain itself would automatically tag these linked Battleships as “stimulated warships”, so these Battleships, including the species they enslaved, would no longer be affected by the time slowdown of the “Purusa Time Realm”.
“Song Wujiang: Let’s go with Chi’s plan. Miss Ru, once the time domain is activated, I’ll try to enlarge the crack’s diameter as much as possible; you can just push forward with the Fire Dragon Lizard. With the deceleration of time, it should be able to withstand it!”
Song Wujiang’s command made the subsequent arrangements naturally effortless. Song Chi first activated the “Neutron Link” Feature, linking 12 Battleships, belonging to the three prime ancestors + Tian Shu and Tian Mang, the two Clan Elders, and then 7 Family Zhulu Warships known for their defensive prowess, including Song Yan’s [Heavenly Mountain Mysterious Armor].
This Sixth Sequence family member had also been promoted to Fourth Rank and had been summoned back by the family to participate in this pioneering war.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The [Purusa Zen Seal] component was activated as an indiscernible energy halo rapidly spread in all directions from [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] as its center, soon covering a vast area.
Even though it was impacted by the Floating Land Shield of the Heavenly Star Floating Land in the front and the “Purusa Time Realm” radiation distance towards the interior of the Heavenly Star Floating Land was greatly reduced, it still firmly enveloped the dozens of Heavenly Star Tribe members clad in Heavenly Star Kinetic Armor above the Floating Land’s vault.
Instantly, the movements, thoughts, and the continuous gunfire they shot towards the crack in the Floating Land Shield above, were all slowed down by several times.
