Chapter 1051: Chapter 553: Result

Extreme Yang Sand Sea, above the sky dome.

The Seventh-Tier flagship was fully unleashing its might, and the oppressive seventh-tier dominator power halted the footsteps of an increasing number of alien races gathering near the edge of the sand sea.

Seven-Tier combat power, the threshold of a Starry Sea advanced civilization; even the weakest seventh-tier civilization is not something random beings can challenge lightly.

Moreover, an unexpected event occurred—within the projected images of the sand sea core region by certain alien races, some recognized the origins of the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator flagship.

“The Tri-Eye Dominator Flagship, belonging to the Dominator-Level Civilization of the Tri-Eye Race!”

The moment this declaration sounded, many beings in the alien crowd displayed expressions of shock and suspicion.

The Tri-Eye civilization, acknowledged as a Starry Sea Dominator-Level civilization by the Torch Human Civilization, boasts a legacy of over a million years. Its reputation far transcends the boundaries of the Torch Humanity’s domain, with many alien races having heard of its existence.

In no time, the identity of the Tri-Eye civilization as a Dominator-Level civilization became common knowledge among the alien crowd. Consequently, there were even fewer who dared venture deeper into the Extreme Yang Sand Sea.

A Dominator-Level civilization of the Shattered Starry Sea—such a title implies the existence of Tenth-Tier mythical combat powers within the group. No living creature would recklessly become enemies with dominators from such civilizations.

Deep within the Extreme Yang Sand Sea, Song Chi and the others had considered this possibility and confirmed there had been no prior appearances of Tri-Eyed beings on the Red Star Continent. Yet they hadn’t anticipated the borrowed title to be this effective.

For a full three months afterward, no other creatures set foot within the sand sea.

However, the deterrent power of the Tri-Eye Race has its limitations. After all, the visible being was merely a Seventh-Tier Tri-Eyed flagship.

As the reactions of the Red Star Continent’s Origin Core intensified, more and more Domination-Level aliens began gathering in the Extreme Yang Sand Sea.

The rhythmic pulses emanating from the Floating Land Origin Core held a deep allure, even for dominating creatures.

The allure of an Origin Core from an Eighth-Level Floating Land is self-evident.

It’s crucial to understand that the high-level Floating Land Origin Core is not only beneficial to lower-level Floating Lands—it’s also an exceedingly rare resource for low-tier Star Sea beings.

The High-Level Floating Land Origin Core contains abundant Starry Sea origins. Absorbing and devouring these origins can significantly deepen one’s comprehension of the Starry Sea laws, making it incredibly tempting for any living creature.

Energy pulses from the Extreme Yang Sand Sea’s depths now carried dense Starry Sea origin energy—high-tier Starry Sea origins, to be precise.

This explains why so many Seventh-Tier dominator aliens were drawn here in such a short time.

As for why no Eighth-Tier powerhouses had arrived yet, it was simply because the energy pulses had not yet reached the Eighth-Tier threshold.

Bang!

Amid an atmosphere interwoven with frenzy and awe, a Seventh-Tier dominator from the Devouring Star Wolf clan finally took a step forward.

This entity refused to remain in the outer perimeter any longer.

As a renowned presence among the Starry Sky Behemoths, the Devouring Star Wolf clan—while not comparable to the Tri-Eye Race—had produced multiple Ninth-Tier Devouring Star Wolves in its lineage. Thus, this entity felt little apprehension toward the Tri-Eye Race’s reputation.

Once the first trailblazer emerged, other dominators from alien races naturally began stirring.

The Extreme Yang Sand Sea’s deep sky dome—this scene unfolded clearly under the watchful gaze of the Song family, thanks to the “Heavenly Eye” trait of the Upper Heaven’s Eye.

In the communicators’ group chat, Song Wujiang turned his gaze toward Song Chi.

“Little Chi, the family will offer five pieces of unconvertible silver oddities from our warship components as compensation, so act now!”

“We’re just over a month away from completing the preliminary heist. Intimidating them further with Eighth-Tier Dominator power might allow us to complete the theft without bloodshed!”

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong warship, Song Chi nodded, his figure quietly disappearing the next moment.

At the same time, within the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator flagship, a Fourth-Tier Robber Star alien suddenly activated a Ruins Market Projection Token in its hand.

Under the pervading purple mist, a vast Eighth-Tier power quickly enveloped the skies above the Extreme Yang Sand Sea.

Hundreds of light-years away, as a few equally prominent domination-level aliens prepared to follow the Seventh-Tier Devouring Star Wolf into the sand sea depths, an immense surge of energy suddenly swept down from above.

Shwoosh!

Void space was ripped apart—an enormous and indescribable purple mist hand extended from its depths, striking toward the sand sea below.

On the outer edges, a few dominating aliens felt chills through their bodies. They could discern that the purple mist hand contained Eighth-Tier power.

Their only solace was that the hand wasn’t targeting them.

No such luck for the Seventh-Tier Devouring Star Wolf—its imposing stature was entirely locked by the infinite purple mist energy. Ultimately, it could only regurgitate a golden oddity resembling a finger bone.

Crack!

The finger bone collided with the purple mist hand, holding the latter off for mere moments. Then, an unsettling crack sounded from the finger bone, which was rapidly driven deep into the sands below. A slightly dimmer purple mist hand pressed down again, vehemently striking the mighty frame of the Seventh-Tier Devouring Star Wolf.

The purple mist hand didn’t linger after the strike—it seemed more like a warning rather than a killing blow.

The massive body of the Seventh-Tier Devouring Star Wolf lay bleeding silver blood, evidently severely injured.

Feeling the faintly malicious gazes cast from behind, it unleashed a surge of devouring power to push back those eyes. Only after reclaiming the embedded finger bone oddity, with its golden glow somewhat dull, did it retreat.

Before leaving, the wolf glanced toward the sand sea’s core with fear. Ultimately, it chose to withdraw entirely.

This departure wasn’t back to the crowd of aliens—it directly exited the sand sea.

It understood the severity of its injuries; though the suspected Tri-Eyed Eighth-Tier Dominator hadn’t aimed to kill, the damage was grievous. While single combat might still be feasible, facing a combined attack from others would spell catastrophe or even death.

Realizing this, it naturally didn’t linger further.

The Seventh-Tier Starry Sea origin’s allure was undeniable, but facing the flames for the Tri-Eyed Eighth-Tier Dominator’s possession was no easy feat.

Following the retreat of the Seventh-Tier Devouring Star Wolf, the restless dominators among alien races settled down again.

Over the next month, Song Chi utilized three silver oddities to recharge the Ruins Market Projection Token, striking three times to deter different regions around the sand sea.

The results proved effective enough.

…

“How is it? How much longer?”

Deep underground, Song Shixing replied.

“Seven more days!”

Hearing this, the Song family members in the sand sea sky dome looked troubled.

A day prior, the energy pulsations from the subterranean Floating Land Origin Core had already faintly reached the Eighth-Tier level. Based on predictions, Eighth-Tier dominators ought to arrive soon, making seven days feel unbearably long.

Within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s main control room, Song Chi’s eyes flickered with calculation.

Moments later, his voice sounded in the communicator group chat.

“I have an idea—ancestors, be careful!”

Finished speaking, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong plunged straight downward.

In the underground depths, the Dinghai Dragon Ship continued its full-scale extraction. Meanwhile, as the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong reentered the stone chamber space—

Inside the ship’s main control room, Song Chi directed his gaze sharply toward the Time Chessboard component.

Time Chessboard—”Time and Chessboard” activated!

At the chamber’s highest point, a massive virtual chessboard, built from 108 chess pieces, gradually took shape.

Underneath the chessboard, the chamber’s space began to change drastically.

With the chessboard’s influence, the flow of time within the chamber space became distorted. Finally, as Song Chi controlled it, the chamber’s time acceleration reached a mind-boggling level.

Ultimately, the flow rate locked at 135 times normal speed.

With this temporal acceleration, the pace of the Dinghai Dragon Ship’s extraction naturally soared.

Inside the Dinghai Dragon Ship, Song Shixing’s elation soared.

Estimating vaguely based on Song Chi’s manipulation of time, the original seven days required had now reduced to under an hour and a half.

As a result, the odds of completing the heist successfully skyrocketed.

“What a clever boy…”

After moments of intense excitement, Song Shixing forced himself to remain composed. The Red Star Continent’s fragment of the Floating Land Origin Core hadn’t yet been secured; premature delight was unwarranted.

Outside, Song Xingru and the others were somewhat anxious. Although Song Chi had previously assured them he had a solution, over an hour had passed without any updates—understandably nerve-wracking.

At that moment, Song Chi’s voice resounded from the sub-plate of the Long-Range Communication Disk aboard the Dinghai Dragon Steed:

“Ancestors, it’s done—come quickly! We’re preparing to retreat!”

Hearing this, layers of waves flickered in Song Wujiang’s pitch-black eyes. But with his thousands of years of experience, he maintained a calm demeanor.

“It’s done. Prepare to retreat!”

Saying so, the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator flagship shrank swiftly. Once it was recovered back into the Dinghai Dragon Steed, nine warships descended into the depths of the passageway as fast as possible.

…

Tens of seconds later, in the high skies where the nine warships previously hovered, fierce spatial distortions emerged.

Soon, the void was violently torn apart—a black claw, covered with scale armor, reached out, exuding overwhelming Eighth-Tier dominator might and clawing toward the sand sea below.

There was no doubt the entity was an unknown Eighth-Tier dominator. It had sensed a pulsation of pure Starry Sea origins capable of drawing it here and sought to seize it remotely.

Even buried deep underground, tens of trillions of kilometers below, Song Chi clearly sensed this fearsome pressure.

But he merely smirked, softly uttering two words:

“Too late!”

As the words fell, his figure vanished from the subterranean stone chamber space.

Moments after he disappeared, the all-encompassing Eighth-Tier might descended—obliterating the painstakingly crafted underground passageway built over nearly two centuries.

Still, none of that mattered—the Song family had achieved their objective.

Above the sky dome, as time advanced, more Eighth-Tier titans emerged—including even the Angel King, the pinnacle Eighth-Tier being behind the Holy Light City.

Yet, despite their formidable power, they couldn’t possibly locate Song Chi, now far away—over 80,000 light-years beyond reach.

Eventually, the Extreme Yang Sand Sea bustled for a time. Some alien races even discovered the weak point in the underground earth core. Yet nobody could proceed further to extract the Floating Land Origin Core from the Red Star Continent.
