Chapter 509: Chapter 272: Abyssal Magic Dragon – Cang Qiong’s Promotion Success Rate 95%
Regarding everything that was happening inside the Dragon Vein Temple below, Song Mingsong and his companions were completely unaware.
The Temple of the Dragon Vein was constructed of special materials that not only had an extremely strong soul-devouring effect but also came with a certain level of magnetic wave interference, preventing various patrolling radars from making accurate detections.
If they had been in the temple at that moment, they would have recognized the true nature of the rhombus crystal stone right away.
A space beacon device!
The Torch Human Civilization had its own unique method of fixed-point deployment of space beacons in the Shattered Starry Sea, and considering the countless civilizations within, naturally, many races and civilizations had their ways of deploying their space beacons.
Most of them were like this rhombus crystal, where the space beacon was marked with a special method inside some kind of durable object or material, and then randomly thrown into the distant Starry Sea, to await the discovery by a “destined” being.

However, techniques like this space beacon deployment had significant drawbacks. One of which was the instability of these space beacons. It’s uncertain when, or if, they would be discovered by beings from alien territories. Even if discovered, establishing a relatively stable passage connecting two star domains is no easy feat.
One method involved, as was happening at this moment, the sacrifice of countless lives; however, achieving such a feat was quite difficult unless the life form deploying the space beacon device was extremely adept at bewitchment.
As time slowly passed, Song Chi aboard the Cangqiong above the city was gradually sensing that something was not right.
Although the temple offered a certain degree of insulation from detection, as the dark and violent energy within kept gathering, the “magic energy detection” feature of the Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar was still slowly detecting energy fluctuations at the Fourth Rank Level.
“Something’s not right, Grandfather. The energy fluctuations in the Dragon Vein Temple below are continuously rising. It has already reached the normal Fourth Rank Level and is still increasing…”
Hearing Song Chi’s warning, Song Mingsong on the Furious Battle Mad Lion instantly showed deep vigilance.
Previously he would not have reacted this way, but after the ordeal on the Copper Mountain Continent, Song Mingsong had completely reversed his disposition, now favoring stability over risky ventures and seeking fortune amidst danger.
At the bow of the Furious Battle Mad Lion, a “Super Main Cannon” slot—which only appeared after upgrading to an Advanced Zhulu Warship—was already loaded with an impressively large super main cannon.
This was an Orange Quality super main cannon, also unconditionally equipped by the family to all clansmen’s Torch Warships upon advancing to the Fourth Rank, as a sort of indirect investment in the clansmen.
As Song Mingsong activated the active feature of this Orange Quality super main cannon, a sphere of light over a kilometer in diameter gathered at the bow of the Furious Battle Mad Lion. Despite being at least ten thousand meters away from the Furious Battle Mad Lion, Song Chi and his two companions could still distinctly feel the terrifying might wrapped within the sphere of light.
This was no ordinary Fourth Rank Level of attack…
While the trio was somewhat surprised, they were not to the point of fear; they had some understanding of the “Super Main Cannon” on a Torch Warship.
Why was it called a super main cannon?
Because the might of such a main cannon often far exceeded that of the average main cannon. A single shot could possibly equal dozens of shots from a regular main cannon, and if coupled with any attack feature, this power would only become more terrifying.
However, to correspond with this terrifying effect, the charge and buffer time of the super main cannon were also quite long, which could be seen as having pros and cons.
Below, the Temple of the Dragon Vein was already shrouded in a thick layer of violent force.
Looking at this unfamiliar dark energy, Song Chi and the others revealed puzzled expressions. As members of Torchlight Humanity, educated in the orthodox way, they had a basic understanding of the energies recorded in civilization’s archives. But, they were completely unfamiliar with this kind of dark, violent energy.
Ten seconds later, the super main cannon charging on the Furious Battle Mad Lion was officially complete, and without any hesitation, Song Mingsong launched an attack targeting the Fourth Rank energy source coordinates provided by Song Chi.
Boom!
The blinding kilometer-wide light sphere transformed into a kilometer-wide scorching ray, piercing through the Dragon Vein Temple below.
This scorching ray, carrying might that might not reach the Fifth Rank but was certainly not weaker than the Peak of the Fourth Rank, swiftly pierced tens of thousands of meters, and soon struck the temple structure below.
What was once an incredibly firm structure shattered instantly upon encounter with the scorching beam of light, as if it were made of paper.
Inside the Dragon Vein Temple, the previously sacred scene had long vanished, and the ominous sight of white bones and endless blood turned the temple into a veritable purgatory.
Above, the beam of light that had burrowed its way down was now heading straight for the rhombus crystal hovering high above the temple.
“Ⅱ%*?×+/!”
At the forefront of the grand hall, the half-step Fourth Rank dog-headed creature danced frantically with terror in its eyes as it watched the kilometer-wide light column.
One could imagine, if this light ray, with the might of the Peak of the Fourth Rank, were to hit the rhombus crystal, the crystal would surely be unable to withstand incredible might.
If that were to happen, all of its previous efforts would have been for naught, and it would never again be able to seek the Divine Dragon’s Essence Blood from the great dragon lord through this object.
