In the desolate starry sky tens of thousands of light-years from the central floating continent of the Demon Serpent Secret Realm, several Void Shadow-Killer Clan Soldier Puppets enhanced to lv70 lay hidden in the void.
At that moment, waves of divine-sense fluctuations suddenly emanated from one soldier puppet's body. After sensing no threats in the vicinity, spatial ripples emerged to one side.
Once the spatial ripples subsided, Song Chi appeared in space, clad in Cloudrub Golden Vine Armor and protected by a single-target plasma shield enveloping his body.
The first thing he did after returning to the secret realm was summon the Sky Ruins Firmament. Only after the warship's hatch closed behind him did he finally relax completely.
Every time this happens, I'm scared out of my wits. Without the Sky Ruins Firmament's hull protecting me, appearing in the outer starry sky in the flesh is still far too dangerous...
It would be great if I had some special component that could directly teleport the Sky Ruins Firmament to a designated point outside. Or if I could upgrade Plasma Guardian to Tier 8...
With that thought, Song Chi decisively took out the Tier 8 Gold Apple he had received earlier and used it directly on the Plasma Guardian component. Once its evolution was complete, he upgraded it to lv80 without hesitation and also fused in a trait he had prepared long ago.
