Chapter 1172: Chapter 622: Brand-New Secret Realm Specialty Resources (First Update)

In the pitch-black starry sky, a blood-colored spear tens of thousands of meters long was fully formed, and in the next second, it shot forth fiercely.

Heading directly towards the front of the Mirror Image Warship, and looking tens of thousands of kilometers ahead, a giant gray shadow silently hovered in the starry sky, seemingly harmless to humans and animals. However, Song Chi had already felt the power of the opponent previously.

Nobody knew what this gray shadow truly was; it could shield itself from the detection of the [Heavenly Eye], quietly approach the Mirror Image Warship, and, not long ago, the soul-directed gray light almost caused the Ethereal Body to collapse directly.

The [Ethereal Body], a part of the Song Family’s inherited space secret techniques, is essentially the embodiment of space law, with threads of divine thought as the soul, allowing it to act independently and possess ultra-long-range control effects.

This ensures that the spirit of the ethereal clone is always connected to the main body; thus, such soul-targeting attacks would inflict equal damage regardless of the distance between Song Chi’s main body and the attack.

Fortunately, his spirit was protected by the [Dragon Whale Hall·Spirit Hall], so no harm was suffered.

Currently, Song Chi only hoped that the “Blood Judgment” could inflict some damage on that gray shadow in the distance, or at least force it to reveal some of its methods to see what it truly was.

As the strongest attack feature of the eighth-rank golden main cannon, the might carried by the blood spear phantom was certainly undeniable.

Yet, at this moment, Song Chi had an unsettling feeling because the gray figure ahead had made no evasive movements at all.

Being fearless?

Or perhaps lacking intelligence?

Two different guesses arose in his heart, but he didn’t have time to ponder further; the events unfolding ahead had already provided an answer.

Contrary to expectations, there was no energy explosion. When the blood spear phantom touched the gray shadow, it passed through without any obstruction and shot further into the farther starry sky.

“Indeed, a soul-type creature without physical form…”

Reaching this conclusion did not surprise Song Chi; actually, when the opponent emitted that soul-capturing beam, he had already guessed a bit.

Although the Shattered Starry Sea is vast, species proficient in divine soul attacks typically possess two main characteristics.

Either their bodies are weak and their form and spirit are unbalanced.

Or they simply have no physical form and exist in a spiritual body form.

The giant gray shadow ahead clearly belonged to this second type.

Having confirmed this, Song Chi felt no more worry. With a preliminary understanding, he could now respond tactically.

He quickly set aside frequently-used ship cannons like [Blood Spear], [Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits], and [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform], focusing instead on [Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon] and [Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light Cannon].

Swoosh, swoosh!

As the purple lightning and the soul-extinguishing pupil light shot out simultaneously, the rapidly drifting giant gray shadow ahead paused abruptly.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Do not underestimate just a regular bombardment of the [Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Cannon] combined with the attack feature of the [Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light Cannon], as they severely harmed the giant gray shadow.

Even separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, Song Chi could still clearly see the black smoke rising from the gray shadow’s body due to continuous burning and corrosion.

Seeing this, Song Chi held nothing back, activating the “Myriad Purple Cloud Thunder Prison” feature.

A myriad of thunder talismans completely enveloped the gray shadow, with a dreadful thunderstorm energy wave accompanying faint, discernible howls. However, this howl was largely drowned out by the thunder’s roar and weakened over time, soon fading entirely.

Two minutes later, at the main location of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong of the Fire Snake River System.

[The Mirror Image Warship has killed a sixth-rank [Nightmare Soul Body], obtaining 1 strand of fifth-rank Floating Land Origin.]

“Nightmare Soul Body?”

An air of confusion appeared in Song Chi’s eyes, as he had no impression of this whatsoever.

“Intelligent Brain, inquire about [Nightmare Soul Body].”

[Please wait, searching…]

[Comparing with the database…]

[No information found on [Nightmare Soul Body]!]

…

Seeing that the warship’s database had no records, Song Chi instead came to a realization.

“A special species nurtured by a secret realm…”

With a turn of thought, the Mirror Image Warship slowly moved forward under his control.

After the myriad purple cloud thunder talismans’ bombardment, little remained at the battlefield center because the giant gray shadow was originally formless. After being completely obliterated by the most vigorous and pure Purple Cloud Thunder, only a peculiar gray crystal the size of a fist was left.

“What is this…”

Gazing at the gray crystal, Song Chi seemed to have a guess.

Using the [Ruin Market Projection Rank] held by the Ethereal Body, this gray crystal was soon delivered to his hand.

After studying it for a while, in order to verify his guess, Song Chi directly threw the gray crystal at a six-star ancient demon behind him, instructing it to attempt absorbing the energy within the gray crystal.

“How is it?”

“Master, this energy certainly can enhance divine soul force.”

Upon receiving the confirmed reply from the subordinate ancient demon, Song Chi took back the gray crystal, then fully concentrated his spirit.

In the next second, one hundred and sixty threads of imperceptible divine thought quietly penetrated the gray crystal, and the energy contained therein visibly diminished.

Once the energy of the sixth rank [Grey Crystal] was completely absorbed, Song Chi found that he had broken through the barrier at 160 threads of divine thought, marking his spiritual force capable of multitasking in 160 ways, with the number of divine thought threads now reaching 161.

Though it only increased by one thread, the significance it represented was utterly different.
