Chapter 747: Chapter 393: The Wind Tapir Behemoth and the Divine Eagle Clan
This routine of jumping lasted for over a month.
After over a month of intermittent travel, the Immovable Ming King finally entered the Yaohan Kingdom’s Central Star Domain.
The six Central Star Domains of the Yaohan Kingdom each covered an area over three times that of ordinary Star Domains. Additionally, these domains were dense hubs of Floating Lands, which meant that the power dynamics within each domain were incredibly complex—far from the simpler structure of the Chenxing Principality, where just one or two families could dominate an entire Star Domain.
The Xuanhan Star Domain, being one of the Central Six Domains, had a wealth that ranked mid-tier among the Central Six. Across the Star Domain’s vast area, spanning nearly twenty thousand light-years, there were as many as three Sixth-Level Floating Lands—two life-type and one resource-type.
There were also over ten Fifth-Level Floating Lands, and even more Fourth-Level ones.
From this, the richness of the Xuanhan Star Domain became immediately apparent.
*Listening to their Prime Ancestor’s introduction of the Xuanhan Star Domain, Song Chi and Song Ze were thoroughly amazed.*
The Chenxing Principality spanned nearly thirty thousand light-years but boasted only six Fifth-Level Floating Lands, and not a single Sixth-Level Floating Land. The disparity was plain to see.
“This Star Domain houses multiple Sixth Rank forces. Although the Stark Family is the strongest, the Yue Family, which occupies another Sixth-Level Life Floating Land, is no pushover. They, too, possess an Ultimate Dreadnought.”
Just as Song Chi and Song Ze were engrossed in the explanation, a sudden, violent roar erupted from the front.
Through the Immovable Ming King’s red Sky Patrol Radar, they could see a fierce battle unfolding not far ahead.
Among the combatants, Fifth Rank units were unmistakably present, including a Fifth Rank Battleship.
The Prime Ancestor immediately ordered the Immovable Ming King, which was cruising at lightspeed, to come to a stop. The warship’s two jump components were currently in cooldown, which explained why they had been relying on lightspeed cruise until this point.
“A Torch Battleship at the Fifth Rank isn’t supposed to participate in internal power struggles, right? Is someone openly defying the rules?”
Song Ze was the first to raise the question.
For this query, there was no need for the Prime Ancestor to answer.
Song Chi pointed to the radar map ahead and said,
“Look at the energy fluctuations coming from this Fifth Rank life form. They’re far too saturated to be normal for a Fifth Rank Battleship. The only explanation is, it’s not a battleship but a Starry Sky Behemoth with exceptionally strong vitality.”
As soon as Song Chi finished speaking, Song Shiyuan nodded with a smile, evidently verifying Song Chi’s assessment.
Moments later, a special component on the Immovable Ming King was activated, and the next second, a hazy holographic screen appeared above the control panel.
On the screen, a somewhat blurry image began to play. Clearly, it depicted the battle happening at the edge of their visual range.
The footage showed the two opposing sides: four warships on one side and a hulking black beast on the other.
As Song Chi had guessed, the hulking black beast was entirely encased in thick scale armor, equipped with four powerful limbs, and surrounded by swirling green hurricanes. It was unmistakably a Wind Tapir Behemoth—a type of Starry Sky Behemoth that followed the Law of Wind.
On the other side, the four Torch Warships included one battleship and three Zhulu Warships. Judging by the faintly discernible shadowy giant eagles surrounding the warships, the group was likely from the Divine Eagle Clan of the Xuanhan Star Domain.
“Prime Ancestor, should we go around or…?”
The Divine Eagle Clan, also known as the Belle Clan, had a Fearless Ship overseeing their forces. The clan’s heritage, like that of the Eagle Family of the Chenxing Principality, traced back to the Starry Sky Behemoth known as the Hurricane Divine Eagle.
This Wind Tapir Behemoth’s origins were unclear, but it was certain that the Belle Clan was aiming to claim it. Wind Attribute Starry Sky Behemoths were rare, and the core of this Wind Tapir Behemoth could slightly enhance the likelihood of Wind Attribute Torch Warships advancing to battleships. The Belle Clan clearly had no intention of letting it escape.
Approaching recklessly could very well result in hostility.
“Let’s wait it out. This Star Domain is part of the Misty Star Region. If we were to detour, we’d have to travel at least another three-thousand light-years—not worth the effort!”
With the Prime Ancestor’s decision made, Song Chi and Song Ze naturally raised no objections.
All three of their gazes fixed on the holographic screen ahead.
*For some reason, the wind around the Wind Tapir Behemoth intensified rapidly. In the blink of an eye, enormous quantities of the Law of Wind condensed behind it into nine storms, each with a diameter exceeding ten thousand meters.*
The hurricanes roared as the nine colossal storms pushed forward. Countless fragments of Starry Land swept through the vacuum of space, forming a massive, ominous tide moving toward the Belle Clan’s four warships.
The four warships, of course, refused to stay idle. The battleship seemed to activate a comprehension-based component, but even so, its resulting Domain of Wind barely affected the nine astronomical hurricanes.
As the hurricanes inched closer, the battleship and the three Zhulu Warships saw their Energy Shields rapidly deteriorate.
Within less than ten seconds, the Energy Shields on all three Zhulu Warships had overloaded. The infinite debris carried by the astronomical hurricanes relentlessly battered their warship hulls.
Seemingly following the battleship’s orders, the three Zhulu Warships simultaneously overcharged their engines to retreat as quickly as possible.
At that moment, the Wind Tapir Behemoth seemed to activate another ability. The nine astronomical hurricanes fused together in groups of three, forming three even more terrifying storms.
Within the gravitational forces of these three astronomical hurricanes, the first Zhulu Warship to retreat managed to escape without issue. However, the other two, a step slower, failed to break free. Despite simultaneous overloading of their engines and thrusters, they remained firmly trapped by the gravitational pull of the hurricanes.
