Chapter 1159: Chapter 615: Battle with the Seventh Rank

There are rumors that the [Celestial Stars Tower] belonging to the Blood Sui Yang family possesses defiant defensive power, and when fully activated, it is enough to withstand the attacks of mythological creatures.

Of course, this refers to the [Celestial Stars Tower] in its prime, and the rumors likely contain some exaggeration.

Not to mention, the [Celestial Stars Tower], like the Song family’s [Dragon Whale Hall], is not a ship-borne component. It is fused with the Blood Sui Yang family’s Ancestor Land Origin Core, and its activation relies on the power of an entire piece of Floating Land. Currently, the Blood Sui Yang family’s Ancestor Land is ranked as an Eighth Level Floating Land, and relying solely on a single piece of Eighth Level Floating Land is not sufficient to activate the full might of the [Celestial Stars Tower].

Moreover, the White Jade Star Tower floating above the Star River Ship at this moment is not a physical entity but a [Celestial Stars Tower] projection across the starry sky. Its defensive power is naturally weakened significantly.

All captains who recognized this White Jade Tower in the surrounding starry sky were utterly chaotic in their thoughts.

However, no matter what, everyone retained a thread of anticipation and curiosity in their hearts.

Colorful Mythical Artifacts, how many captains are they something unattainable in their lifetime?

Now witnessing it in person, they are naturally filled with curiosity, all wanting to see with their own eyes what kind of earth-shattering ability this so-called Mythical Artifact possesses.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The giant Demon Sword, wrapped in tremendous might, suddenly cleaved down on the illusory White Jade Tower above the Star River Ship.

At this moment, the void was exploding, with an energy shock wave of intensity directed toward the Ninth Rank spreading rapidly from the point of contact in all directions.

The first to be swept in was naturally the Blood Sui Yang family’s Star River Ship, followed by the Eighth Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon, and then a dozen Star-Annihilating Starships.

“Quick, activate all defence features immediately!”

A roar sounded almost simultaneously in group communications chat across all fleets scattering and retreating.

Some low-level captains chose to follow orders and activated their flagship defence features immediately, but the majority chose to wait and see.

It’s not their fault because each Torch Warship’s defence features are limited and their cooldown time is long. Without seeing the threat approaching firsthand, they won’t use them recklessly.

In contrast, the Gate Powers, which maintained order, were completely different. They obeyed the orders of highly esteemed ancestors, and under the utmost trust, the majority of captains instinctively activated their defence features.

The Song Family is a typical example among them.

With Song Shiyuan’s reminder in the group chat, all the Song family clan members who still retained their defence features activated them without hesitation.

However, even so, it is not all clear because the Torch Warships in the fleet are in the minority; more are ordinary starships, which cannot carry various components and have no defence features to rely on.

The energy storm swept along all the way. Along the way, whether Torch Warships or ordinary starships, or those Heavenly Serpent Warships, as long as they did not employ special defensive measures, suffered heavy casualties under the might of this energy storm approaching the Ninth Rank.

“Flame Domain!”

In the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea], Song Yan activated a special Flame Domain feature. A large amount of Fire Seed overflowed from the warship’s body, quickly enveloping most of the Song family warships.

Yet, this was merely a Silver Quality domain feature, and even though it had long been enhanced to the Seventh Rank by Song Yan, it was utterly incapable of resisting this energy shock nearing the Ninth Rank.

Upon contact, the Flame Domain collapsed in just a few seconds.

At the moment when the hearts of the high-level Song family members tightened fiercely, the savage energy storm that was beginning to spread once again was suddenly blocked as if completely isolated by an invisible barrier, unable to advance another step.

“What is this…”

When all Song family members looked up, they saw the illusory chessboard floating above their heads.

This illusory chessboard continuously emitted a large amount of Power of Time, constructing a special time domain below. Because of this time domain’s obstruction, the wild energy storm outside couldn’t advance a single step further.

“Who did this? Which clan elder’s work is this?”

“Who knows. But what’s certain is, it must be someone from the Song family, otherwise it wouldn’t solely protect our Song Family Fleet.”

From the side and rear, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was also shrouded by this illusory chessboard.

In the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Chi didn’t make a sound; instead, his face seemed somewhat pained.

In order to encompass the entire family fleet, he used up 108 chess pieces, constructing this “Time*Chessboard”. Although it successfully sheltered the family fleet, the subsequent cooldown time required up to 108 years, and even with the [Purusa Zen Seal], it still required over 20 years.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions echoed from various points in the starry sky. Looking towards it, the whole starry sky was full of scars, with wreckage of warships floating everywhere. A rough calculation suggests that the number of warships sunk due to the aftermath of this one confrontation exceeds ten million.

But right now, no one had the time to care about these things. All the survivors had only one thought in their minds: to try their best to leave this star domain as soon as possible.

“Quick, do not linger!”

The Song family group was no different. At a certain moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong following behind the fleet.
