Chapter 525 - 280: Fearless-Class Torch Warship, Seventh Rank Soldier Figurine [Dragon Whale Guard]
As clan elders, many had heard, to varying degrees, the news that the family possessed a true ancestral figure. However, this Great Ancestor had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and those younger clan elders had never seen the founder of their family with their own eyes. @@novelbin@@
The appearance of this one-hundred thousand-meter Torch warship was, for many of the elders, the first time they had seen their founding ancestor.
Therefore, they could hardly contain the excitement in their hearts.
As for the other clan elders, their surprise stemmed from seeing the potential to thoroughly conquer this section of the stellar battlefield.
The First Ancestor of the Song Family, the foundational person and founder of Dinghai Song Family, was far more powerful than several Fifth-Rank ancestors, and was the biggest reliance for the Dinghai Song Family to become the leading noble house of the Chenxing Principality.
...
Just the one-hundred thousand-meter Torch warship under his command alone was enough to suppress countless powers and noble families throughout the principality.
It is a common understanding in Torch Human Civilization that a Fourth-Rank Zhulu warship has a captain whose length is generally around three to four thousand meters.
A Fifth-Rank battleship’s captain would then be between ten thousand to fifteen thousand meters in length.
And a one-hundred thousand-meter Torch warship has already left the category of a battleship, to be a Sixth-Rank Torch warship, known as a Fearless Ship.
(PS: How does “Fearless Ship” sound? If you have any good suggestions, feel free to mention them; if appropriate, I can make changes.)
The Sixth-Rank Fearless Ship, the First Ancestor of the Song Family had just completed his advancement four hundred years ago, and shortly after his breakthrough, he had chosen to enter seclusion.
One reason was to push his Guidance Technique level to break through lv60 in one fell swoop, the other was to use this time to continue deepening his comprehension of his own laws.
Fortunately, those four hundred years were not spent in vain; not only did his Guidance Technique break through lv60, but after undergoing his sixth Life Sublimation, he became a true Star Sea Sixth-Rank lifeform, a genuine Sixth-Rank Fearless Captain. From then on, he could oversee the changes in the Starry Sea for ten thousand years.
In addition, there was great progress in the law of space, bolstered by the family’s Primordial Secret Realm; in the field of Space Law, he could now compare with those veteran Sixth-Rank Torch ship captains.
About these, although the clan elders did not have a clear understanding, just from the intense Sixth Rank Life Pressure emanating from the ancestor as he physically passed through the spatial wormhole, they knew their ancestor had become a true Sixth-Rank Torch ship captain.
It was precisely this fact that bolstered everyone’s spirits on the spot, leaving them without any other concerns.
You see, a Sixth-Rank Torch ship captain has a lifespan of up to ten thousand years, and as for the Great Ancestor, he is barely three thousand five hundred years old, not to mention the numerous life-extending spiritual objects he had consumed in the past, sufficient to protect the family for another seven or eight thousand years.
Therefore, even if this trip yielded nothing, Dinghai Song Family would still be one of the brightest suns in the entire Chenxing Principality for the next seven thousand years, and the family’s strength was bound to welcome unprecedented development.
Under the piercing gaze of the many clan elders, a beam of light shot out from the Fearless Ship, and in the safety zone outside the weapons depot corridor, twenty figures emerged quietly.
These twenty figures were all over five meters tall, with silver-white scale armor attached to their puppet bodies, transforming them into imposing silver-armored heavenly guards, with a terrifying aura spreading among them, adding a touch of dominance to the silver-armored guards.
In the warship’s magnetic wave communication group chat, a seasoned clan elder over fifteen hundred years old immediately called out the name of these silver-armored guards.
“They are Dragon Whale Guards; the Great Ancestor has actually enhanced them to the Seventh Rank level!”
“What are Dragon Whale Guards?”
A younger clan member, who had become a clan elder in the last few hundred years, asked.
“Dragon Whale Guards are soldier figurines summoned from the Dragon Whale Soldier Figurine Tree; it is said to be a silver-quality soldier figurine component obtained by the Great Ancestor in his early adventures!”
The crowd was astonished; silver-quality soldier figurines were something that most would not encounter in their lifetimes.
Among the people present, only a small portion had purple-quality soldier figurine components installed on their flagships, most had orange-quality, and red-quality were extremely rare, not to mention the legendary silver-quality soldier figurines.
While everyone was discussing, the twenty silver-armored Dragon Whale Guards were already surging into the breach in the ship’s hull in quick succession.
The clan elders initially thought it would take some time, but within less than two minutes, the twenty Dragon Whale Guards had emerged from the breach, each holding one or more Void Demon corpses in their hands.
This included the remains of a Sixth-Rank Void Demon and several Fifth-Rank Void Demons.
Clearly, in front of these Dragon Whale Guards, the Sixth and Fifth-Rank Void Demons were unable to stir even a ripple.
This outcome naturally caused astonishment among the newer generation of clan elders, but for those over seven hundred years of age, it was a matter of course, their eyes showing nothing but expectancy.
It’s a joke; these were Seventh-Rank soldier figurines, merging with the extremely rare resource of a Dominant True Spirit, possessing some of the Seventh Rank lifeform features—soldier figurines that, especially when outnumbering their opponents, could easily subdue Sixth-Rank Stellar Sea lifeforms.
Remember, the divide between Third Rank and Fourth Rank in the Starry Sea is a massive watershed, marking the boundary line between low-level and intermediate civilizations in the Shattered Starry Sea, and the same holds true for the Sixth and Seventh Ranks.
