Chapter 637: Chapter 335: Mutual Destruction with the Cang Qiong

However, Song Chi’s fleeting optimism soon transformed into a deep gloom.

The mechanical behemoth of the Fifth-Rank possessed a terrifyingly strong body. Only the Flame Giant wielding the Divine-weaving Sword at full strength, as well as the “Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light” and “Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light” attack features could inflict decent damage on it. But to hope for such attacks to significantly damage the mechanical behemoth within dozens of minutes was nothing but a fool’s dream.

With that in mind, Song Chi suddenly thought of the “External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher” component. As a part with exceptionally strong armor-piercing effects, if he truly wished to inflict serious wounds on the mechanical behemoth before the duration of the Purusa Time Realm ended, then he had to rely on this component.

However, he couldn’t just attack the mechanical behemoth’s outer body directly. After several rounds of attacks, it had already been proven that this method was ineffective.

As he contemplated, Song Chi spotted the dark annihilation cannon mouth within the gaping maw of the distant mechanical behemoth.

Humm, humm, humm!

…

The engines roared as Song Chi cautiously adjusted the position of the Cangqiong.

At a certain moment, as the mechanical behemoth opened its mouth wide again, two specially made cobalt bullets, one after the other, were launched, having been waiting for a long time.

The two cobalt bullets left long trails of flame in the sky. The next moment, they accurately entered the annihilation main cannon’s mouth that the mechanical behemoth had opened, and then rushed all the way into the interior of the mechanical behemoth’s body.

Boom, boom!

Two consecutive explosions exploded from inside the mechanical behemoth, followed by thick black smoke billowing from its mouth.

In that instant, the mechanical behemoth’s movements came to a complete halt, and with the slowing effect of the Purusa Time Realm, it seemed to freeze in place.

But Song Chi knew this was an illusion. Not to mention that the two specially made cobalt bullets didn’t create large cracks on the behemoth’s body, even if its body had been blown apart, for the mechanical behemoth to go berserk for another period was not a difficult feat.

As expected, after a brief pause, the mechanical behemoth became more agitated, and a vast amount of steam surged out of its mechanical body; in the next second, the top of its head transformed rapidly and soon two large mechanical cannon mouths appeared above it.

Although these two cannon mouths were not as big as the annihilation main cannon in the mechanical behemoth’s mouth, they far exceeded the caliber of ordinary firepower cannons.

Seconds later, two specially made explosive shells were fired from them.

In fact, for the Flame Giant, who mastered the Law of Fire, the damage caused by the explosive shells was not significant. But the mechanical behemoth had no such understanding; it only knew that the explosive shells were one of the stronger attack methods it possessed.

Unfortunately, the firing speed of all the gunfire was also slowed down, and the result was that the Flame Giant easily avoided the bombardment of the two explosive shells.

The two explosive shells exploded into towering flames on the ground behind, not inflicting the slightest damage on the Flame Giant. Instead, the Flame Giant, wielding the Divine-weaving Sword surrounded by a massive amount of the Law of Fire, seized the opportunity and fiercely stabbed into the mechanical behemoth’s mouth.

Thus, the Cangqiong and the Flame Giant kept a vigilant eye on the annihilation beam cannon mouth inside the mechanical behemoth’s mouth, attacking relentlessly. After a few more minutes, the mechanical behemoth’s body was blown open after the tenth round of special cobalt bullet bombardment.

The next second, Song Chi’s attack target suddenly shifted; through the cracked body, he could see the Energy Core located within the mechanical behemoth. Destroying this Energy Core would render the mechanical behemoth completely incapable of any action.

…

As time passed by, after several more minutes, just before the “Purusa Time Realm” was about to end, the Energy Core within the mechanical behemoth’s body was finally completely shattered by the Cangqiong, which constantly changed its attack position.

Not long after this, the steel behemoth, whose defense was astonishing, finally lost all ability to move, and the red light in its mechanical eyes completely dimmed.

“Phew!”

Only at this point did Song Chi let out a long breath of relief.

However, he didn’t rush to control the Cangqiong to approach, but instead, he deployed several Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines.

Only after the Soldier Figurines had circled several times around the mechanical behemoth’s body, ensuring that it was no longer a threat, did the Cangqiong slowly approach it.

In the Cangqiong’s main control room, looking at the mechanical behemoth lying on the ground below, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed. After this battle, his respect for a Fifth-Rank unit had not lessened but had instead grown more wary.

He had to remember that this was just a mere Western cargo without the ability to think and was completely under no pressure to attack from one side. It had already made things very difficult for the Cangqiong. If it was a normal Fifth-Rank unit, the danger would obviously be even greater.

As he was summarizing, Song Chi was about to call Ansewei over.

But just at that moment, the red light in the mechanical behemoth’s eyes, which had already stopped showing any response, abruptly resurfaced.

[Auxiliary power source activated, begin executing final “self-destruct” command…]

Below, mechanical sounds came from within the mechanical behemoth’s body. Song Chi didn’t listen to all of it; upon catching the words “self-destruct,” the first thought that came to his mind was to “run,” not even having time to retrieve the Flame Giant, only transmitting sound to make it quickly move away.

But even so, it turned out to be too late.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Several mechanical grappling claws were fired from within the mechanical behemoth below, instantly crossing hundreds of meters and tightly entangling the body of the Cangqiong, making it impossible for Song Chi to jolt the ship free no matter how much he pushed the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] and [Phantom Thruster], leaving the warship completely immobilized.

His response was not difficult. Upon realizing this, he almost immediately activated the “Behemoth Overlord Body” feature of the [Heart of Behemoth] component. However, the [Heart of Behemoth] had only just been enhanced to lv30. Although it provided some relief from the control of the mechanical flying claws, allowing the Cangqiong to move slowly, the speed left much to be desired.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Before the Cangqiong could get far, the mechanical giant beneath it exploded violently.

In an instant, the terrifying blast engulfed the entirety of the Cangqiong, which was only a kilometer away in the sky.

Whir, whir, whir!

For a moment, the entire underground relic space was plunged into violent tremors.

The might of a self-destruction from a Fifth-Rank Level unit was, as one might imagine, immense.

Even the White Rose, far away in the first area, received strong thermal shocks at this moment. It was only because the Red Energy Shield had been reformed over the White Rose during this period that Ansewei, inside the warship, was spared injury.

At present, Ansewei’s attention was not on the White Rose at all. Her face was ashen white, as she had just witnessed the Cangqiong being submerged by that terrifying explosion.

This was a self-destruction at the Fifth-Rank Level, and almost right next to the Cangqiong no less. Her mind was in chaos, unable to imagine what would happen next.

Dozens of seconds later, while the terrible shockwave from the explosion had not yet completely dissipated, the White Rose rushed anxiously from the first area.

Electromagnetic communication had already been cut off due to the separation of the two warships. Now, she could only search for the Cangqiong and Song Chi using her eyes and the patrol radar.

Soon, as the violent shockwaves from the explosion gradually died down, the patrol radar on the White Rose was at last free from the interference of the intense external energy fluctuations, and it successfully captured an object floating high in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Ansewei’s heart tightened instantly.

But as the White Rose continued to approach and she saw clearly the minuscule neutron star suspended high ahead, her pent-up heart finally fell heavily, and a smile reappeared on her face.

In the Cangqiong’s main control room, Song Chi too looked panicked.

The situation just now nearly caused his own brain to crash. Fortunately, in the nick of time, he activated the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature of the [Purusa Zen Seal], forcing the “Neutron Star Fission” of the [Neutron Star Core Armor] to complete its buffer. Then, in the form of a minuscule neutron star, he withstood the explosion.

Even now, his heart was still racing, and he hadn’t fully recovered. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a while, when he calmed down again, he instinctively replayed the earlier scene in his mind.

With this subsequent reflection, he quickly realized that he had actually had several options at his disposal.

For instance, he could have directly cooled down the [Void Escape Orb] component, and then flashed close to the entrance of the ruins with the Void Escape Orb.

Furthermore, if he had truly lacked confidence in his survival, he could have entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, which, although it might not ensure the Cangqiong’s safety, would at least save his own life.

Shaking his head and lamenting his lack of practical experience, he resolved to seriously enhance his real combat training if given the opportunity.

Without dwelling on it any further, Song Chi controlled the Cangqiong to exit the neutron star form while also activating the [Final Blessing] component.

Even though the Cangqiong had endured the self-destruction in the form of a neutron star, it had sustained significant damage. The [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] was yet again overloaded, and both the Warship Armor and the hull had taken a serious beating.

[The warship is undergoing repairs, 64% of Warship Armor repaired, current Warship Armor damage is 8%, 34% of hull repaired, hull repairs complete!]

Under the effect of the silver repair component, the Cangqiong’s hull was completely restored, and only 8% of the Warship Armor remained damaged. With the “Neutron Star Core Pulse” feature, it would soon be fully restored. Only the Energy Shield, due to the overload, would require several tens of minutes to recover.

“Really, I told you not to come again, but you just had to play with fire, didn’t you? Are you only happy if you put yourself in danger?”

In the reconnected warship communication, Ansewei’s eyes no longer held the previous worry. Her complexion was still a bit pale, but if you didn’t look closely, it was hard to tell. She stood with her hands on her hips, staring fiercely at Song Chi through the projection light screen.

Song Chi didn’t refute her. This time, it truly was his own fault.

Of course, he did not regret continuing to explore the eleventh area. Instead, his laxity towards the mechanical giant that had lost its Energy Core was the issue. If he had been more careful earlier, none of this would have happened.

With that thought, Song Chi looked away, controlling the Cangqiong to swiftly make its way towards a corner of the eleventh area.

The Flame Giant, completely charred and in an extremely weakened state, was sitting slumped in the corner. While the Cangqiong still had the Neutron Star Fission as a last resort, the Flame Giant had truly borne the brunt of the self-destruction.

Thankfully, although its injuries were severe, as long as it hadn’t died outright, there was still hope.

Using the [Enslavement Medal] to shrink the Flame Giant to a few meters in height, Song Chi pulled it back onboard the warship and immediately placed it inside the [Life System Medical Repair Pod].

With this orange healing component in place, it wouldn’t be long before the Flame Giant could recover.

After completing these tasks, Song Chi and Ansewei finally turned their attention to the Spatial Folding Box in another corner.
