Chapter 58: Void Demon (Please Follow)

Regarding the disturbance caused by the advancent of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi didn’t feel much.
Being inside the Ruins Market, all he could sense was the Market’s own trembling and the fleeting brilliance of intense light.
As the light quickly faded, he reopened his eyes, filled with anticipation, already imagining what changes the advancent of the Ruins Market would bring.
However, the duration of this advancent was sowhat unexpected. The previous nine promotions had been instantaneous, but this ti was different. The trembling beneath his feet had not ceased, and the property panel of the Ruins Market was still unchanged.
But since it was a Great Rank promotion, which was different from the past, Song Chi didn’t pay much attention to it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, countless sharp whizzing sounds ca from all directions. Song Chi, who was just getting ready to calmly wait for the end of the Ruins Market’s promotion, instantly had alarm bells ringing in his heart. He was all too familiar with this kind of noise.
It was the sound made when the White Winged Tribe had thrown their fork-like weapons with full force to attack the Cangqiong when they first encountered them during the welfare drop.
Quickly looking up, his gaze penetrated the Spectral Energy Protective Light Curtain above the Ruins Market and looked outside. What Song Chi saw next made his scalp tingle.
Beyond the hemispherical Spectral Energy Protective Light Curtain, the sky above the Ruins Market was completely covered with densely packed green-black figures, numbering at least in the four digits.
A multitude of attacks continuously struck the Spectral Energy Protective Array, causing countless ripples.
Then take a look at these green-black creatures.
Spiral horns, wings on their backs, and the threads of brutal aura emanating from their bodies.
When his gaze captured these distinctive features, Song Chi instantly had an answer in his heart.
“Damn it, it’s the Void Demons. How could such terrifying creatures suddenly appear, and in such huge numbers!!”
Song Chi’s face was ashen. He was able to recognize this group of creatures so quickly because the “Void Demons” were infamously well-known—so well-known that basically every Starry Sea Civilization would warn of their existence within their own realm.
Void Demons, a type of Void creature, and notably one of the most notorious, are not only individually powerful in combat but, more importantly, are highly bloodthirsty, which is the very characteristic most disliked by the Starry Sea Civilizations.
Anywhere visited by the Void Demons would see all life hunted to extinction, no exceptions.
These creatures seed to be born purely for slaughter, with carnage bringing them excitent.
Fortunately, they could not stay away from the Void Space for too long. After being away from the Void Space for a certain amount of ti, they must return; otherwise, they would continue to weaken until they eventually died.
However, Song Chi felt no joy at this point because the Zhu Tian Ruins Market has always been floating within the gaps of the Void.
Simply put, he was right in the enemy’s headquarters.
“Doesn’t the Zhu Tian Ruins Market have the ‘Averting Misfortune’ feature? How did these things find their way here? Could it be that the Averting Misfortune feature has failed? Or is it…”
As his thoughts raced, Song Chi’s heart shuddered. He realized the reason.
Other than the burst of intense light that surfaced during the promotion, he couldn’t think of any other reason.
Anger, frustration, panic… In a brief span of ti, myriad emotions surged in Song Chi’s heart. The key issue was that the information he had previously received about the Ruins Market Secret Realm did not ntion that promotion could lead to such a scenario.
Suppressing all the emotions one by one, what he needed to do now was just one thing—to stay calm. As long as he remained calm and actively looked for ways to respond, there was still a possibility for things to turn around.
Summon the Cangqiong to fight outside…
“`
Upgrade the Spectral Energy Protective Array’s level…
Summon the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines…
Further strengthen the various onboard components of the Cang Qiong…
Once he cald down, Song Chi’s mind began to rapidly generate response plans, but the one that never surfaced from beginning to end was “leave the Ruins Market imdiately and run away.”
As his golden finger, the Zhu Tian Ruins Market was his greatest reliance for climbing to the peak in the future.
The Orange Glory Quality “Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator” was traded for there, the Fire Source needed for the Seed of Torch to advance in rank also ca from the market, and today’s Purple Quality component “Brainwave Remote Control System” was likewise. Song Chi truly could not imagine the consequences of losing access to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
In the span of a thought, he was multitasking, calculating the most reasonable and perfect response plan as swiftly as possible.
Soon, Song Chi, having deduced the perfect response plan, started taking action in his hands.
The first thing he did was not to summon the Cang Qiong, but to open the attribute panel of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and begin to fully strengthen the Spectral Energy Protection Formation configuration of the market.
It’s important to know that the Spectral Energy Protective Array’s level is still only LV0, and if it’s not quickly upgraded, it might not be long before it is completely breached.
It’s precisely because this protection array is from the hands of an unknown powerful being of the Immortal Domain that its defence far surpasses energy shields of the sa rank; otherwise, not to ntion LV0, even if it were LV10, it would have overloaded long ago after so many attacks.
After consuming 450 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, the Spectral Energy Protective Array was upgraded to LV9.
[Na: Spectral Energy Protective Array]
[Level: LV9]
[Effect: Automatically absorbs void energy to form a semicircular protective light curtain.]
[Defence: 500]
[Shield Value: 38450/40000]
[Post-overload Buffer: 33 minutes]
[Note: From the hands of a mighty being of the “Immortal Domain Civilization” of the Starry Sea…]
[UpRank Requirent: Ruins Market level LV10, 150 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank)]
Song Chi could only say it was worthy of being the work of a great being; the upgraded to LV9 Spectral Energy Protective Array had astonishing attributes.
It’s worth noting that the Orange Glory Quality “Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator,” when strengthened to LV10, only had a defence of 380 and a shield value of just 6080 points, which was simply weak in comparison to the LV9 Spectral Energy Protective Array.
This excitent didn’t last long. After strengthening the Spectral Energy Protective Array, Song Chi, with a grave expression, quickly summoned the Cang Qiong. The Spectral Energy Protective Array was only for defence, to repel the thousands of Void Demons outside, he still needed the firepower of the formidable Cang Qiong.
As the Cang Qiong landed, Song Chi boarded the shuttle, his thoughts moved, and a prompt sounded in his ear.
[Do you want to spend 100 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin to upgrade the white Torch fuselage to LV10? Based on the level and quality of the components on the Cang Qiong, the success rate of this upgrade is 96%.]
Hearing this prompt, Song Chi paused; while loading the Purple Quality “Brainwave Remote Control System” component, he clicked to confirm the upgrade.
The upgrade from the Spectral Shuttle to the Spectral Airship was quick, and just over ten seconds later, the Cang Qiong began to rapidly expand, its hull length quickly going from seven ters to close to twenty ters.
The streamlined fuselage, now covered in gold rock armor, appeared even more solid. Although it’s a far cry from the true steel behemoths that are thousands of ters long, it was already starting to look a bit more ferocious.
