Chapter 812 - 426: Void Divine Binding_2
“`
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
All the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines and Fallen Angel Soldier Figurines were dispatched, and at the same time, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong used the “Mirage Shadow” feature, assisted by the [Ultrasonic Geomagnetic Detector] component, to detect sections of the underground area that were kilometers squared.
This routine continued for four days. On the fifth day, just as Song Chi was preparing to carry out the final day’s detection and leave if there were no results, a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine suddenly relayed a message to the one that had been imprinted with the brainwave imprint.
Just as before, in that fragment of the Immortal Realm Continent, the highly space-sensitive Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines detected the existence of a special Array Curtain.
An Array Curtain, or a Spatial Veil, suggests the existence of such a technical creation. Song Chi in the battleship’s main control room instantly became alert.
Although a Spatial Veil is the lowest level of spatial product and the chances of it forming naturally are slim, it’s generally only civilizations on the scientific side of the Starry Sea that can research such methods, commonly using them to conceal or isolate for various purposes.
Considering the previous disappearance of the Red Oddity, it’s not difficult to conclude that this Spatial Veil is most likely a tech product of some active civilization.
“Is it one of the three civilizations of this Chaotic Floating Land? Or another civilization?”
With this curiosity, Song Chi quickly recalled all the Puppet Soldiers in order not to startle the snake in the grass.
After some thought, he decided to take the initiative to explore the unknown civilization behind this Spatial Veil.
Firstly, this was only a Spatial Veil, not a particularly high-end technology.
Additionally, needing to conceal its existence under the watchful eyes of three intermediate civilizations in itself indicated that the unknown civilization behind the Spatial Veil could not be very powerful.
Based on these two points, even if there were any danger, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would at least have the ability to retreat in one piece, which is why Song Chi made this decision.
Of course, possibilities are just possibilities and are by no means absolute, so Song Chi still maintained caution.
The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong first pulled more than a million kilometers away, and then, controlled by the brainwave imprint, he sent several Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines and a sixth-rank Fallen Angel Soldier Statue towards the Spatial Veil.
They swooped over without any incident, but the moment a few Puppet Soldier bodies entered the Spatial Veil, the next second, Song Chi was filled with surprise as he viewed the interior of the Spatial Veil through the eyes of the Figurines.
“Is this… the Moruo Clan?”
The Spatial Veil was located on the ground, and the passageway behind it led to a vast underground space, where the image that appeared in Song Chi’s mind was that of a jet-black Mech over ten thousand meters tall.
It was the Moruo Space-Escape Mech that Song Chi had once encountered. However, the one he had seen at the Blood Blade Star Thieves hideout was only of the fourth-rank level, while this one was of the fifth rank.
After the initial shock, Song Chi quickly came up with a plan of action.
Strictly speaking, this wasn’t too unexpected.
After all, for decades he had known that a remnant of the Moruo Royal Family still lurked within the Chaotic Star Field, although he hadn’t had specific information.
This Chaotic Floating Land, as a well-known piece of land within the Chaotic Star Field, was also a likely refuge for the Moruo Royal Family, a guess that the Song Family had made internally long ago.
Because of this, Song Chi reacted quickly, and the engine of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, which was hidden in the void, suddenly roared to life, rushing straight towards the entrance of the underground space where the fifth-rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech was located.
The Moruo Clan, thousands of years ago, was indeed not weak, with sixth-rank level Moruo Space-Escape Mechs at their disposal.
However, during the first great expedition of the Chenxing Principality, over ninety percent of their living forces were obliterated, so not to mention a sixth-rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech, even the fifth-rank Mech under the ground was likely built by the surviving Moruo Royal Family at a great cost over the past few thousand years.
That is to say, it’s unlikely that there are combat units of the sixth-rank level in the underground space.
In this case, Song Chi had no need for concern.
With the combat power that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong currently possessed, as long as it didn’t encounter a sixth-rank species, fifth-rank entities posed virtually no threat to him.

The warship had just swept out when the second scene deep in Song Chi’s mind suddenly began to shake violently. The Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech had taken the initiative against several Soldier Figurines.
Instinctively, Song Chi wanted to control the Soldier Figurines to retreat from underground, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
Then, under his deliberate command to evade and the order not to leave the underground space, the Soldier Figurines were promptly eradicated by the astonishingly fast Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech.
Given the control over spatial power by the Void Assassin Clan and the speed of the Sixth Rank, twelve-winged Fallen Angel Soldier Figurines, there had been a chance to break out of the underground space in that situation. However, Song Chi considered the thoughts of the Moruo Royal Family within the Moruo Space-Escape Mech.
If he let the Soldier Figurines escape, they would not dare to pursue them out of fear of drawing the attention of the other three races on the Chaotic Floating Land. This would create a false impression that their hiding place had been exposed, and if that led them to flee, it would be troublesome.
The Moruo Space-Escape Mech itself possessed the ability to traverse the dark side of space. Once a fifth rank level Escaping Space Mech entered the dark side of space, even the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would struggle to track it down.
Therefore, letting all the Puppet Soldiers die in the underground space and temporarily stabilizing the situation was the best choice.
Now, all Song Chi needed to do was enter the underground space before the other party reacted.
As long as he entered the underground space, everything would be manageable.
His response was quick; in less than two seconds after the Puppet Soldiers were destroyed, the warship had already flown to the large Spatial Veil.
With no hesitation, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong directly charged into the Spatial Veil.
The Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech seemed to have anticipated this, and as soon as the bow of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong entered the Spatial Veil, the two dark shoulder cannons on the Moruo Space-Escape Mech below had already fired.
The specially armor-piercing projectiles hit the bow of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, causing a violent explosion that echoed throughout the underground space.
However, this powerful attack from the Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech inflicted very limited damage on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
Before the Super Main Cannon at the bow had time to finish charging, the Fifth Rank Moruo Royal Family, with thousands of years of drifting experience, proved to be more vigilant than imagined.
Seeing the bow of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong emerge, it was as if they saw the Chenxing Principality’s expeditionary forces that had once swept across the Moluo Star Field thousands of years ago. With one failed strike, spatial fluctuations immediately emerged around the Escaping Space Mech, and the Fifth Rank Moruo Royal Family swiftly activated the mech’s escaping space ability, about to enter the void.
However, a suddenly emerging cluster of alloy wires from the void tightly bound the mech, preventing the Moruo Space-Escape Mech from entering the void in the first instant.
At this moment, having activated the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature, allowing the Super Main Cannon’s “Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings” feature to finish charging instantly, the Cang Qiong at the bow unleashed a fearsome spectral light arrow.
A soft chant was heard, and the next second the spectral light arrow shot straight into the body of the Moruo Space-Escape Mech below.
There was no scattering blast of energy, no sparks flying from the mech’s body.
Compared to the other two main cannon attack features, “True Immortal Quantum Sword Light” and “Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light,” the “Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings” of the [Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits] was more like a cold breeze that passed by, leaving only a chilling bone-deep coldness, not a scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the “Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings” attack feature was lacking in might; in fact, it was more overbearing than the vast majority of attack features.
This could be seen from the Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech below at this moment.
As the spectral light arrow entered the mech, one could see that the entire mech froze in place.
Was the mech being controlled?
No, it wasn’t.
The fact was that the Fifth Rank Moruo Royal Family member inside who was controlling the Space-Escape Mech had been killed by the Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings, erasing all life force within.
The target of the Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings was always the flesh and blood organisms themselves, not their outer mechanical shells.
