Chapter 489: Chapter 261: Fourth Rank Roksha Giant Beast_2

Yet even so, the distance between it and the Cang Qiong had not shortened at all; instead, it continued to grow.

The Level 49 red engine and Level 40 purple thruster provided the Cang Qiong with a thrust that was not just lip service.

Utilizing its speed, Song Chi quickly devised a follow-up battle plan, opting not to clash head-on with the alien creature but rather to employ the Torch Warship’s best strategy, kite-flying tactics.

The energy shield and warship armor were indeed the biggest advantages of the Cang Qiong, but the alien creature was a physical being, and once it got close, it would inevitably cause damage to both the armor and the body of the Cang Qiong.

The Neutron Star Core Armor could quickly repair itself through the “Neutron Star Core Pulse” feature, but the body of the warship would not.

The only component on the Cang Qiong that could repair the body was the nearly forgotten white-quality “Healing Fruit,” the effectiveness of which was hard to describe, so it was better to avoid damage where possible.

Kite-flying tactics had their merits, but they were time-consuming. Plus, after several continuous challenges of dozens of floors, Song Chi’s spirit had long since left its peak state, falling into lethargy.

Addressing this issue, after kiting the Fourth Rank alien creature for several hours, Song Chi did not kill it outright but caused severe injuries and let the Void Demon slowly drag it out while he used the interval to recover his spirit as much as possible.

However, the Pusuo Heritage Tower clearly wasn’t about to let him get away with such a loophole. Barely half an hour had passed when, at the five-hour mark, the alien creature ended its own life, and the Cang Qiong was immediately transported to the 71st floor.

After nearly half an hour of recovery, while far from his peak, Song Chi had at least shaken off his lethargic state and could fully confront the upcoming challenges.

The guardian creature of the 71st floor was a newly Fourth Rank Sky-Cracking Eagle. Compared to the alien creature, the combat power of this eagle had improved a lot, and unlike the alien creature, the speed of this Fourth Rank Sky-Cracking Eagle, which controlled Spatial Power, was clearly faster, making its movements unpredictable and erratic.

By the time it was finally killed, the Cang Qiong’s warship armor was, for the moment, not worth mentioning, as it was going to be fully repaired by the time they challenged the 72nd floor anyway, but the body had sustained 6% damage. This was the first time the Cang Qiong had been damaged since it started challenging the Pusuo Heritage Tower.

Not in a hurry to activate the “Healing Fruit” component, this white component currently had an Enhancement Level of 29. Once activated, it could repair 10% of the warship’s body, and with the Cang Qiong’s body also being Second Rank, it would fully unleash its effect, so naturally, Song Chi wanted to maximize its effectiveness.

The 72nd floor held a newly Fourth Rank Flame Lion Eagle, which wielded the Power of Laws of Fire. Strictly speaking, its combat power was stronger than the previous Sky-Cracking Eagle, yet under the protection of the “Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield,” the threat to the Cang Qiong was significantly reduced.

Taking advantage of this, Song Chi underwent another session of intense recovery for more than half an hour, before then proceeding all the way to the 73rd layer.

What the Cang Qiong faced this time was a newly Fourth Rank bipedal dragon, which was killed after several hours, at a cost of 20% damage to the warship’s body.

Before heading to the 74th floor, Song Chi activated the “Healing Fruit” component, bringing the Cang Qiong’s body damage back down to 10%.

On the 74th floor of the Pusuo Heritage Tower was a guardian creature known as a Rock Sa Behemoth.

Although it was newly Fourth Rank, the Starry Sky Behemoths were different from other Stellar Sea Creatures. They possessed astounding innate gifts in the aspects of the Laws they were proficient in, meaning that even though it had just stepped into Fourth Rank, its understanding of the Law of Earth was almost as strong as a normal Fourth Rank unit.

In other words, what Cang Qiong faced at this moment was in fact a Fourth Rank creature with normal combat power.

For this, Song Chi was fully prepared.

Hum hum hum!

The Light Energy Aggregation Engine and Phantom Thruster were running at full capacity. As usual, Song Chi’s first choice was the kite-flying tactic. @@novelbin@@

This Rock Sa Behemoth was powerful in combat but slower in speed; if enough distance could be maintained, Song Chi could grind it down to death.

However, Song Chi quickly discovered that despite the full operation of the two components providing thrust, the Cang Qiong simply couldn’t move.

When he came to his senses, he was astounded to find that the Rock Sawa Behemoth had mobilized a vast amount of the Law of Earth, which had gathered around the Cang Qiong’s hull to form massive walls of rock and earth, severely impeding Cang Qiong’s mobility.

Before Song Chi could respond, the Rock Sawa Behemoth in front of him was already charging over.

A great deal of the Law of Earth was concentrated on the thick rocky double horns atop its head. It was imaginable that a head-on collision with these terrifying horns of rock and earth would result in monstrous damage.

In the nick of time, Song Chi activated the Void Escape Orb component, and amid a strong spatial fluctuation, the 120-meter-long Cang Qiong vanished quietly, only to reappear tens of millions of kilometers away.

Deprived of its target, the Rock Sawa Behemoth roared in anger and then once again charged toward the distant Cang Qiong.

Having finally escaped the attack range of the Rock Sawa Behemoth, Song Chi naturally did not allow it to draw near so easily, continuously maneuvering the Cang Qiong to maintain the distance, while the main and secondary cannons on the warship fired in succession, bombarding the behemoth’s massive body.

The Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon was responsible for slowing the Rock Sawa Behemoth, making its already clumsy body seem even more cumbersome.

The Shadow Breaker Cannon was in charge of weakening the heavy rock armor on the surface of the Rock Sawa Behemoth.

The external Armor-Piercing Cobalt Shell Launcher was responsible for further damaging the rock armor.

As for the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, it was in charge of the main firepower strike. After the combined armor penetration of the Shadow Breaker Cannon and the special cobalt shells, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon was now able to inflict substantial damage on the Rock Sawa Behemoth.

Finally, under the third round of the Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light, the life of the Rock Sawa Behemoth was ultimately extinguished.

Now at level 49, the active feature “Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light” of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon had a cooldown time of 4 hours. In other words, it took more than 12 hours to kill the Rock Sawa Behemoth.

“Phew!”

With a long exhale, there was a deep weariness in Song Chi’s eyes.

Twelve hours of intense concentration had severely depleted his spiritual force.

However, it wasn’t all bad news. After passing the 74th floor, Song Chi was informed he had two hours of rest time, which, though short, was enough to restore a significant portion of his spiritual force.

Two hours later, when Song Chi awoke from a deep sleep, his spiritual force had recovered to approximately sixty percent.

Once he confirmed this, he activated the Healing Fruit component, now fully buffered, restoring Cang Qiong’s damaged hull from 42% to 32%, and rapidly re-loaded two special cobalt bullets. After completing these preparations, Cang Qiong was then transported to the 75th floor.

The guardian creature of this level was a pair of Rock Sawa Behemoths, newly advanced to the fourth rank.

Upon seeing this, Song Chi made a swift decision at the bottom of his heart: he must engage in rapid combat to make a quick decision, avoiding the kite-flying tactic used in the last round at all costs; otherwise, his current peak state of only sixty percent spiritual force would definitely not last until the end.

With that thought in mind, the hatch of the Cang Qiong slowly opened, and Tuogu Hong and the Void Demon walked out of the warship one after the other.

Ancient totem patterns covered their entire bodies, clearly having activated their “Totem True Body” forms, while in their hands they each held a silver-white Ruins Market Walking Token, having already activated the Law enhancement state of the tokens.

The end was still not in sight – the active feature “Enslavement Mark: Frenzy” of the recently buffered Enslavement Medal was activated once again. Surrounding Tuogu Hong was a significant amount of red steam, and his size expanded from a kilometer to three thousand meters, with the potent pressure of a fourth-rank lifeform emanating from within.

As his body swelled, the Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear he held in his hands also stretched to almost three thousand five hundred meters, with streaks of cold light traversing along the spearhead.
