Song Chi ignored the words of the Red Spirit Clan commander and responded indifferently:

"Since you've chosen to withdraw, please leave the range of the Star Erosion Tower immediately. You have half a day. If any Red Spirit Clan troops remain by then, I will personally send them away!"

Faced with these extremely forceful words, the high-ranking officials of the Red Spirit Clan glared angrily but ultimately did not dare to say more.

The Red Spirit Clan's fleet quickly began an orderly retreat; those flame-patterned warships carved crimson trails in the void, like receding lava.

As the Red Spirit Clan withdrew, the battle around the Star Erosion Tower immediately became clearer.

The commander of the Sanction Tower quickly seized the opportunity to direct their troops to take control of the Star Erosion Tower.

"Thank you, Greedy Wolf Palace Master, for your timely assistance!"

A grateful voice of the Ninth Rank Astrologer Master from the Sanction Tower came through the communication channel:

"As agreed, that strand of the [Wood Fire] Strange Object is ready."

Song Chi nodded slightly but didn't get a chance to speak.

At that moment, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the Vault of Heaven.

He frowned and looked up.

Between what was formerly a confrontation between the fleets of the Tri-Eyed Royal Family and the Rashamon Clan, the void suddenly twisted and tore apart as a gigantic warship, silver-white all over and covered with mysterious patterns on its surface, slowly sailed out.

The warship's shape resembled an open vertical pupil, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Song Chi was not unfamiliar with this special form of warship. The family still retained the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator Flagship in their hands, which was very similar to this one, except it was much smaller.

"That's... the 'Eye of Heavenly Punishment' grade flagship of the Tri-Eyed Royal Family!" The voice of the Sanction Tower's commander trembled noticeably:

"They've actually used such combat power, a super battleship at the Ninth Rank Peak!"

Song Chi's eyes narrowed.

The aura emanating from this warship had surpassed a normal Ninth Rank and was faintly approaching a Mythical Level.

The Rashamon Clan's fleet also seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and began to slowly withdraw.

"Greedy Wolf Palace Master, the situation has changed!"

The voice of the Starlight Elder, who had been following along, suddenly came through the communication.

"The Tri-Eyed Royal Family seems to be preparing to forcibly seize control of all the Star Observation Towers!"

Song Chi scanned the battlefield and noticed that the Tri-Eyed Royal Family's fleets, which were originally dispersed among other Star Observation Towers, had not been mobilized.

"It seems they're planning to forcibly seize control of this Star Erosion Tower." Song Chi said deeply.

At this moment, the bow of that "Eye of Heavenly Punishment" flagship suddenly lit up with a blinding silver light, and a beam with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers shot out, aimed directly at the Star Erosion Tower.

"Not good, they want to forcibly seize the Star Erosion Tower; Greedy Wolf Palace Master, please aid the Sanction Tower once more!"

The Sanction Tower's commander exclaimed, the importance of the Star Turtle Continent was much greater than imagined.

Over the past nearly ten thousand years, with the high-grade starry sky turtle shell produced by this Star Turtle Continent, the Sanction Tower had gradually distanced itself from the other dozen Ninth Rank towers of the Astrologer Civilization. By now, it had faintly gained the reputation of being the first tower of the Astrology Tower Civilization.

At such a critical time, relying on the already occupied [Star Erosion Tower], there was absolute confidence to firmly establish the Sanction Tower's position in the coming millennium; hence, the Star Erosion Tower must not be lost.

But Song Chi remained unmoved; the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong quietly hovered without making any response.

In his view, the [Wood Fire] he sought, although related to Samadhi True Fire and couldn't be valued as a common Silver Oddity, couldn't be similarly valued in the other party's hands either.

He had already addressed the Red Spirit Clan issue, which compensated for the [Wood Fire] reward. Asking him to confront a main fleet of an Overlord Level civilization head-on was unreasonable.

"Boom——"

A deafening explosion echoed in the sky, and a terrifying energy shockwave swept in all directions.

When the light faded, the Star Erosion Tower still stood tall, but the surrounding space was shattered, forming a massive void vortex.

"It actually... held it off?"

The high-ranking officials from the Sanction Tower were flabbergasted.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment's attack was a terrifying force capable of easily destroying a small river system.

But they quickly realized the reason for the severe super-explosion's failure to damage the Star Erosion Tower's body was because it had been meticulously reinforced and nurtured by numerous Ninth Rank starry skies turtles over countless years. This strike only dissipated the endless starlight brilliance surrounding the tower body.

Yet everyone knew very well, after this strike, the starlight brilliance had significantly dimmed. Just one more hit from the [Eye of Heavenly Punishment Flagship] above the Vault of Heaven, and the Star Erosion Tower's defenses would be breached, leaving the entire observation tower completely exposed to outside attacks.

As they contemplated, the Divine Eye Heavenly Punishment Cannon on the [Eye of Heavenly Punishment Flagship] above the Vault of Heaven had already begun to gather blinding white light again, clearly undergoing a second energy charge.

Seeing this, the high-ranking officials of the Sanction Tower became increasingly anxious.

"Greedy Wolf Palace Master, as long as you can stop this [Eye of Heavenly Punishment Flagship], after the battle, three Ninth Rank Starry Sky Plant Hearts will be offered to you by the Sanction Tower with both hands."

Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly; these Ninth Rank Starry Sky Plant Hearts were something he had proposed before, but the other side hadn't agreed, only promised the [Wood Fire] and two Black Oddities.

Now they directly offered three, clearly showing how desperate they were.

Song Chi's eyes flickered indecisively, and he hadn't given a definite reply for a long time.

Above the Vault of Heaven, the white light concentrated at the bow of the [Eye of Heavenly Punishment Flagship] was extremely dazzling; at a certain moment, this white light suddenly transformed into a blazing beam, once again shooting towards the Star Erosion Tower.
