Chapter 183: Subverting Half-Step Fourth Rank·The Terrifying Miniature Neutron Star

Song Yan's flagship was named Xuanjia, and it had been over 15 years since he was promoted to Third Rank. No one knew the extent of Xuanjia's current combat power.
However, the fact that Xuanjia had teleported next to the side of the three-headed chimera without any hesitation suggested that this so-called Half-Step Fourth Rank creature was not much of a threat to it.
Indeed, as a layer of yellowish-brown rock suddenly covered the surface of Xuanjia, the chimera's serpentine tail, which seemed like a death-bringing specter to other Third Rank Torch Captains, could only leave trails of sparks splashing across the hull of Xuanjia.
Witnessing this, the surrounding Third Rank Torch Captains realized that the quality of the warship armor of this Sixth Sequence family member was at least Orange Quality or higher, and its enhancement level must have exceeded the Fourth Rank, even most likely reaching the Peak of the Fourth Rank.
As everyone marveled, the next action of Xuanjia was even more astonishing.
Clang clang!
After a series of intense metallic friction sounds, in the next second, the cannon at the bow of Xuanjia abruptly transformed into a silver-gleaming battering ram.
Inside Xuanjia, a burly man focused his thoughts and activated the "Crushing Impact" feature of the Orange Quality [Mystic Silver Ram] component.
Immediately afterward, a massive amount of silver light began to gather at the bow of Xuanjia, and within a short duration, the Mystic Silver Ram was entirely enveloped by the sharp silver light.
The next second, Xuanjia, carrying fearsome might, charged with an unrivaled momentum straight at the three-headed chimera.
Ahead, sensing the threat to its life, the Half-Step Fourth Rank chimera flapped its wings, a tornado storm condensed behind its dual wings, while a green mysterious flow circulated around its entire body.
With the support of these two, the three-headed chimera was about to flee with its wings spread, but the burly man inside Xuanjia let out a cold snort.
"Thinking of running now? Too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated another Orange Component on Xuanjia, [Earthstone Domain Monument].
Swish, swish, swish!
Earthy yellow stones rapidly condensed around the chimera and on these stones, the same mysterious power circulated, clashing against the aqua-colored energy around the chimera, resulting in continuous tug-of-war.
During this stalemate, the chimera felt its movements becoming more and more cumbersome, the constant condensation of stones on its body making its flesh stiffen.
Boom!
Losing its original agility, the chimera could not avoid Xuanjia's relentless charge, the razor-sharp Mystic Silver Ram striking forcefully against its chest.
Roar roar roar!
All three heads of the chimera wailed in succession as the formidable frontal assault from Xuanjia caved in a massive pit hundreds of meters into its chest, while the sharp and domineering silver energy constantly eroded its internal flesh and blood.
And that was not the end; following the devastating collision, the Mystic Silver Ram of Xuanjia unexpectedly triggered a secondary impact feature.
As a result, the already heavily injured chimera was struck grievously, a several-hundred-meter wound was torn open in its chest, massive amounts of blood gushing out, raining blood onto the forest below.
Roar!
In its final throes, all three heads of the chimera opened their mouths simultaneously, and three kilometers-long energy balls of different colors converged inside before they spewed out towards Xuanjia, which was not far away.
The surrounding members of the Song family who were Torch Ship Captains were taken aback, wanting to remind Song Yan to dodge.
The chimera, after all, had half-stepped into the Fourth Rank and was bolstered by a Soul Spirit Floating Land with a hint of Fourth Rank original source, making these kilometer-wide energy balls as strong, if not stronger, than its over three-kilometer-long serpentine tail.
But it was too late; the energy balls in the mouths of the chimera were almost instantaneously formed, and then they were spat out at high speed, giving them no chance to react or even warn anyone.
However, what unfolded next quickly reassured the Song Clan members.
Compared to the warship armor that was of at least Orange Quality and reinforced to the Fourth Rank, the energy shield on the surface of Xuanjia was not the slightest bit inferior. Against the life-burning retaliation of the three-headed chimera, the energy shield dimmed only slightly.
After that strike, the Half-Step Fourth Rank chimera had no more ability to counterattack and could only passively take the successive attacks from Xuanjia, quickly falling under the barrage of Xuanjia's ship cannons.
Without even needing the personal intervention of the two Clan Elders from The First Direct Lineage who were in the sky, this crisis that had been extremely urgent a moment ago was casually resolved by this Sixth Sequence of the Song family.
...
Song Chi was naturally unaware of everything that had happened above the Soul Spirit Floating Land, but he had a certain conjecture about the overall situation, especially since he had also heard that ancient voice that echoed through the Floating Land.
At that time, he was piloting the Cang Qiong, rapidly advancing through the Central Great Swamp in the Northern Region.
Indeed, Cang Qiong no longer moved cautiously as it had half a month before, but was instead rapidly traversing the bottom of the swamp.
Having received news of the familial great battle half a month ago and knowing that there wasn't much time left, he ignored all previous apprehensions and, at the limit speed that the semi-automatic shipboard intelligence could process information, explored with full force like a dragon through the Central Great Swamp.
