Chapter 514: Return to Pusuo Heritage Tower_2
Fortunately, the Swallowing Star Wolf quickly averted its gaze, and its ferocious wolf mouth opened and closed again.
"A weapon class Silver Legendary Oddity, add 60 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin!"
As expected, after it spoke again, there were still no other alien races bidding, and all beings were casting sidelong glances at the [Northern Star River], seemingly curious whether Song Bei would continue to bid.
However, almost a full minute passed without another word from the [Northern Star River].
Just when all the Starry Sea Aliens had assumed that the Seventh Tier [Silver Apple] would be taken by the Swallowing Star Wolf, Song Bei suddenly spoke once more.
"One Silver Oddity, plus 62 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin!"
This second utterance finally enraged the nearly Sixth Rank Peak Swallowing Star Wolf.
"A Fourth Rank ant, you are trying to provoke me!"
While roaring, a terrifying Sixth Rank Life Pressure radiated from its body. This pressure had no effect on the other aliens around, focusing entirely on the [Northern Star River].
Inside the warship, Song Bei did not feel any discomfort, but the continuous alerts from the ship's artificial intelligence sent chills down his spine.
[Subjected to external high-intensity compression, Warship Energy Shield damaged, current Shield Value decreased by 4%.]
[Subjected to external... decreased by 6%.]
[Subjected to external... decreased by 8%.]
Almost every two seconds, the Energy Shield's Shield Value of the warship was weakened a bit; at this rate, even considering the orange Warship Repair Components installed on the [Northern Star River], it wouldn't last much longer.
As Song Bei was tensely searching for a solution, suddenly, a faint spatial fluctuation came from behind, and a 14,000-kilometer Torch Warship abruptly appeared in front of the [Northern Star River].
"Is that my Chi Clan brother Song Chi arriving..."
Song Bei murmured to himself, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.
In his view, as long as this legendary clan brother of his was here, everything could be completely reassured.
It was only then that a calm voice in the Starry Sea universal language came from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
"A fair offer, where does the talk of provocation come from?"
Seemingly discerning the relationship between the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the [Northern Star River], and although the pressure emanating from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was far superior to the Northern Star River, it was still only Fifth Rank, the Swallowing Star Wolf in front did not take the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong seriously.
"Fifth Rank...how laughable..."
Before the Sixth Rank Swallowing Star Wolf could continue its rant, an incredibly astonishing aura suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
In an instant, the Swallowing Star Wolf, which had been extremely arrogant just a moment ago, was silenced, and one could even see it instinctively retracting its neck.
Its pair of dark green pupils nervously looked towards the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
"Is this... a Dominator?"
Indeed, the pressure emanating from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong at this moment was the Life Pressure of a Seventh Rank Dominator, but this was not because Song Chi actively had the Starry Sky Dragon Shark harness the Power Of Domination within its body; rather, it came from a component's unusual "Feature."
The "Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure" of the Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon.
This Feature has been rarely used for over two hundred years, but Song Chi's deployment of it at this gathering place of many Starry Sea Alien Races is indeed quite effective!
Having subdued the Sixth Rank Swallowing Star Wolf, Song Chi refrained from causing additional trouble and turned his gaze to the Seventh Rank [Silver Apple] at the trade point.
All the trump cards on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong have cooled down after years of buffering, providing him with numerous methods to deal with the Swallowing Star Wolf. Why then, did he eventually choose to employ the "Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure"?
The crux of the matter lies in the phrase "to cause additional trouble." The area around the Pusuo Heritage Tower is congregated by countless Alien Races from different Star Domains. Although creatures of Dominator rank and above are not permitted to enter, there are plenty of entities that are near Seventh Rank in presence. Despite the formidable combat power of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, due to rules and uncertainties whether the Ruins Market Projection Rank and the Starry Sky Dragon Shark could intervene here, Song Chi had clear reasons to choose his tactics wisely.
Compared to that, he would prefer to wait until the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong ascends to a Fearless Ship before joining several other Fearless Ships of his family to attempt reaping benefits around the Pusuo Heritage Tower.
Because it is only after the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong becomes a Fearless Ship that it will truly have invincible combat power beneath that of Dominator Creatures.
Hmm... Even if he can't utilize the Ruin Market Projection and the Starry Sky Dragon Shark.
So, Song Chi looks at the creatures around him more like they're walking treasure troves of experience, knowing that since it isn't time to harvest yet, it's natural not to alert them in advance.
In comparison, deploying the "Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure" is clearly the better choice, as it can intimidate the other Alien Races for a short time. By the time these Alien Races comprehend the situation, they would realize that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has temporarily wielded the Power Of Domination through special methods, rather than possessing true Dominator Combat Power.
As a result, these creatures will not be driven by fear to leave the vicinity of the Pusuo Heritage Tower.
When Song Chi actively approaches the Fifth Rank trader and asks about the apple, the trader, under fear and astonishment, directly agrees to the price previously offered by Song Bei.
Song Chi casually selects a Strange Object from the Ruins Market that cannot be converted into onboard components, along with 62 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin, and successfully acquires the [Seventh Tier Silver Apple], which is of great importance to his family at the moment.
After achieving his goal, Song Chi doesn't hurry to leave. Together with Song Bei, they actively wait for several family members who are in the midst of challenging the Pusuo Heritage Tower.
During the wait, he and Song Bei engage in plenty of conversation. After all, they belong to the same generation. Even though there is a significant gap in strength between them, the topics of conversation are not lacking.
"By the way, how are things going with Annie · Dusk?"
Song Chi suddenly remembers that Song Bei used to get along quite well with "Annie" from the Legitimate Succession Sequence of the Dusk Family, so he takes the initiative to ask.
Upon hearing this, a smile unavoidably appears on Song Bei's face.
"The elders in the family have decided to soon propose marriage on my behalf, and by the way, Song Chi my brother, it won't be long before you'll have another nephew. If you don't bring a decent gift by then, don't blame me for spreading the word about your miserliness!"
"Is my sister-in-law already pregnant? Congratulations! Rest assured, as an uncle, I will certainly prepare a generous red envelope for my nephew."
...
The two chat amiably, yet Song Chi can't help but sigh upon hearing of Annie's successful pregnancy. He knows that he and Shen Youran got married even earlier and haven't been shy in the Ruins Market, but they've yet to receive news of pregnancy.
Although it's more difficult to conceive offspring at higher Life Ranks, Song Bei is also already a Fourth Rank Torch Captain and seems to be unaffected by this, which leaves Song Chi utterly baffled.
Fortunately, he doesn't dwell on this for too long. Higher Life Hierarchy implies greater difficulty in bearing offspring, but life is long, and there are special resources and Spiritual Objects in the Starry Sea that can increase the chances of conception. Over time, results will come, so there is no need for too much worry.
As they talk, time passes by, and after more than half a month when a bronze light reappears atop the Pusuo Heritage Tower, everyone knows that this signifies the end of the current challenge in the Heritage Tower.
Soon, numerous figures begin to manifest one by one in the starry space around the Pusuo Heritage Tower.
Seeing this, various Alien Races exclaim in surprise.
Since tens of thousands of beings commenced the challenge half a month ago, only a mere few thousand have succeeded. The success rate is a pitiful 10%, and among these survivors, many had stopped challenging early on. Strictly speaking, the actual success rate may have dropped significantly more.
In the warship's magnetic wave group chat, smiles emerge on the faces of Song Chi and Song Bei, for they already see that all three of their family members have succeeded in their challenges.
