Every half minute, the shield value would drop by a thousand points. At this pace, it wouldn’t take ten minutes for the Spectral Energy Formation to be completely destroyed. And without the protection of the Spectral Energy Formation, the destruction of the Ruins Market, in the face of a group of extremely bloodthirsty Void Demons, would be but the blink of an eye.

Song Chi quickly retracted the Cangqiong into his Ancestral Torch, reluctantly sweeping his gaze around him.

Just as he completed his survey, determined to exit the Ruins Market the next moment, the vibrating sensation underfoot that had been constant suddenly ceased.

Song Chi’s gaze flickered in surprise.

“Is this… the Ruins Market has successfully advanced?”

In that instant, Song Chi’s mood was like a thunderstorm in June: one moment dark clouds filled the sky, and the next, the clouds parted and the sun shone through after the rain.

In his excitement, he didn’t forget to confirm his speculation and immediately opened the Ruins Market’s attribute panel.

[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]

[Ruins Market Master: Song Chi]

[Level: lv10]

…

Confirming that the Ruins Market had indeed advanced to lv10, Song Chi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and burst out laughing.

To think, from the time he successfully linked to Zhu Tian Ruins Market with the Star Sea Ruin Market Rank until today, it had been just over two months, and he had only opened the market for trade three times.

During this period, he not only obtained an Orange Glory Quality Component but also a Purple Component plus the Goldrock Ship Armor, a White Component.

In just two months, the benefits had already reached such a terrifying level, one could imagine how much he had struggled internally with the decision to give up on the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

At this moment, it was the complete opposite. The more distressed and tormented he had felt before, the more excited and thrilled he was now.

After a good laugh, Song Chi, who had turned his attention back, didn’t even bother to check the specific attributes of the newly advanced Zhu Tian Ruins Market and immediately opened the configuration for the Spectral Energy Protective Array.

Having reviewed the detailed attributes of the Spectral Energy Protective Array, a look of confirmation appeared in his eyes.

Although the level of the Spectral Energy Protective Array was still lv9, with the Zhu Tian Ruins Market itself advancing to the First Rank, its basic configuration, like that of the Torch Warship, had seen a fixed percentage increase in attributes, also 20%.

The original defense and shield values of the Spectral Energy Protective Array were as follows:

[Defence: 500]

[Shield Value: 3800/40000]

But with the successful advancement of the Ruins Market, these two figures had respectively become:

[Defence: 600]

[Shield Value: 11800/48000]

And the key point was that the shield value was not only increased by 20% in its maximum capacity but even the shield value that had been only 3800 points was instantly boosted to 11800, allowing it to hold out for several more minutes.

“`

Having realized this, Song Chi summoned the Cangqiong Warship back and, with a thought, glanced over the component of the “Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator.”

Post-overload buffer time: 8/35 (minutes)

The Orange Energy Shield Component, enhanced to lv15, had a buffer time of 35 minutes after overload. Now, 8 minutes had already passed, and in just 27 more minutes, it would be reactivated.

Seeing this, a glint of hope rekindled in Song Chi’s eyes—the success of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market’s upgrade gave him hope that he could fully repel those Void Demons outside and safeguard the market.

As long as the Spectral Energy Protective Array could hold on for another twenty plus minutes, when the Cangqiong’s energy shield was reactivated, the warship could once again enter combat.

Basing on the previous combat achievements, assuming no new Void Demons appeared, the Cangqiong should be able to eliminate over ninety percent of the remaining five hundred plus Void Demons before the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator overloaded a second time.

By then, even without the fire support of the Cangqiong, Song Chi and the ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines could take over the cleanup task, making it highly probable to preserve the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

With this in mind, Song Chi quickly found the right moment to throw out the last energy grenade, killing nearly ten Zero Rank Void Demons, and then immediately boarded the Cang Qiong, continuously firing the warship’s main and secondary cannons into the sky above the market, to alleviate as much pressure as possible from the Spectral Energy Protective Array.

Four minutes later, when the Spectral Energy Formation’s shield value dropped below four digits, Song Chi’s thoughts shifted, and immediately after, the notification from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market rang in his ears.

[Do you confirm spending 150 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin to upgrade the Spectral Energy Protective Array to lv10?]

“Confirm!”

Whoosh!

The very moment the Spectral Energy Protective Array’s configuration was upgraded to lv10, the semi-circular light screen over the market shimmered for a moment. Seeing its defensive and shield values, Song Chi inwardly exclaimed in delight.

[Defense: 1200]

[Shield Value: 120000/120000]

The defense value jumped from the previous 600 to 1200, and the shield value skyrocketed from 48000 points to 120000 points.

What excited Song Chi even more was that the shield value, which had only a few hundred points left previously, was fully restored to its peak condition after the upgrade, a formidable 120,000 points—enduring the remaining 23 minutes would be a certainty.

“Phew!”

His breathing gradually calmed down, and only then did Song Chi finally allow himself to relax completely. Yet he didn’t cease his attacks; while the protective light screen was no longer in danger, killing one more Void Demon would lessen the burden on the soon-to-be-reactivated Cang Qiong.

Time slowly passed in this way. After countless rounds of attacks and not knowing exactly how many, as soon as the component of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator on the Cang Qiong finished buffering, he immediately controlled the warship to dash out of the market.

With the Cang Qiong moving away from the market, the actions of the ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines became noticeably sluggish, even freezing in place unable to move at times.

However, there was no choice; the Brainwave Remote Control System’s duration had ended, requiring a lengthy six hours to buffer completely, so Song Chi had to take the field himself.

Fortunately, with the current First Rank Spectral Energy Formation’s shield value, even without the manual clearance by the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines, it could last for a sufficiently long time.

No longer needing to divide his attention to control the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines, Song Chi, who focused solely on the Cang Qiong, was clearly at ease. The result was that this time the warship cleared the Void Demons even faster.

In less than twenty minutes, and even without waiting for the second overload of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator component, the remaining hundreds of Void Demons were entirely eradicated.

Looking at the hundreds of blue-black corpses around the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, an inexplicable urge to cry welled up in Song Chi’s heart.

Not out of sadness but rather the impulse to weep from the exhilaration of surviving a calamity, which quickly turned into deep joy and relief.

Once the strange feelings in his heart had settled, Song Chi began to control the Cang Qiong, roaming around the outskirts of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, using the airship’s Traction Beam to quickly collect the corpses of those Void Demons.
