Take the first Void Battleship that the Gu Yuan Tribe had obtained as an example. It was one of the four Heaven-grade Battleships. Although it was broken, its combat power had not been greatly reduced.
In order for this Heaven-grade Void Battleship to be at its maximum combat power, the formation that provided energy for the engine room had to be made of low-grade spirit crystals. Only spirit crystals could fully support the battleship's cruising and protective shield. The Gu Yuan Tribe did not even have top-grade primordial stones, so how could it unleash its full combat power?
In fact, it did not mean that top-grade and top-grade primordial stones could not be used to power the Void Battleship. It was because once the battleship was in operation, especially during a battle, it would consume too much energy. Not to mention top-grade primordial stones, even top-grade primordial stones would find it difficult to maintain the battleship's speed and defense to its maximum level.
Only the spirit crystals contained the most stable and abundant spirit energy, which could maintain the battleship's energy consumption, so that the Heaven-grade Void Battleship would not be limited by energy.
Of course, if it was an ordinary Earth-grade Void Battleship, it would only need half a spirit crystal to maintain the battleship's normal operation.
However, that was in the past. Now, Xiao Chen had obtained a large number of primordial stones and even crystals from the Ancestral Court. It was enough to support the entire Gu Yuan Tribe in a war.
After a while, Xiao Chen replied, "I'm sure!"
In the face of great power, it was difficult for quantity to win over quality. It was just like facing a supreme king. Even if there were hundreds of millions of ordinary warriors, it would be useless.
Of course, perhaps the gap between the Heavenly Building realms was not that huge. However, if they could obtain a Heaven-grade Void Battleship, it would be equivalent to the Gu Yuan Tribe obtaining a combat power comparable to the Eighth Heaven of the Heavenly Building realm.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Chen and the Venerable Dragon appeared in another secret realm. There was a huge empty space in the secret realm. Many Void Warships were gathered together, looking like huge ferocious beasts, giving off a cold metallic luster.
This was a weapon of war that belonged to the human race's wisdom and countless skilled craftsmen.
"Greetings, Clan Leader. Greetings, Senior Dragon!"
Seeing Xiao Chen's figure appear, Shi Ya immediately led nine void warship owners forward. Apart from Shi Ya, the Venerable, the remaining nine warship owners were all at the 4th Firmament of the Heavy Building Realm.
"Are you ready?" Xiao Chen gestured for them to get up and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Patriarch, everything is ready!"
Rumble!
In an instant, a thunderous roar resounded. A Void Warship gave off a thunderous roar as it soared into the air from where the warship was gathered. Then, it landed not far from Xiao Chen. The cultivators on the warship all left the warship, hiding far away.
This was one of the Mid-Grade Heaven Grade Battleships. Xiao Chen didn't hesitate and waved his hand.
Buzz buzz buzz!
In an instant, there was a shrill cry, and a pale golden skeleton that was hundreds of meters long appeared in front of everyone. There were faint flames rising from the skeleton.
This was the skeleton of the invisible exotic beast, the Flame Thorn Bird!
The five-star exotic beast's skeleton had already appeared, and it immediately swept up a monstrous aura that spread out in all directions. Even the cultivators who had already hidden far away were still prostrated on the ground under the residual pressure, unable to move.
Even if it was dead, the pressure of the former five-star exotic beast was still enough to stand proudly in a region.
"Senior, please begin!"
Xiao Chen's gaze turned to the Green Flame Sky Falling Dragon and said.
Without hesitation, the Green Flame Sky Falling Dragon shot out a green light. Suddenly, this huge golden skeleton soared into the air and landed on the void warship in front of him.
Whoosh!
Immediately afterward, the green dragon opened its mouth and suddenly there was a roar. A flaming dragon made entirely of green flames spat out from its mouth. It expanded with the wind and soon became hundreds of meters long.
The green flames burned the void, and immediately there were dark traces left on the void barrier. This green dragon manifested and immediately pounced on the skeleton of the Flame Thorn Bird above the void warship.
Chirp!
At this moment, there was a shrill cry from the skeleton of the Flame Thorn Bird. This was the remnant will of the Flame Thorn Bird on the skeleton. It manifested into a huge Flame Thorn Bird.
"Hmph, it's just a Flame Bird. Not to mention that it's already dead, even if it were alive, it wouldn't dare to resist the dragon's might!"
Facing the sudden appearance of the Flame Bird, Lord Dragon snorted. The green flame dragon's power did not decrease at all, and it directly collided with the huge Flame Bird. In an instant, the huge illusion of the Flame Bird was smashed into pieces.
Then, the flame dragon waved its hand, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed all the shattered flames of the Flame Bird.
In the blink of an eye, the flame dragon wrapped around the remaining golden skeleton and kept burning it.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Even though it hadn't been destroyed after so many years, and even retained some of its majesty from when it was alive, after just half an hour, this Flame Bramble Bird's skeleton began to melt, there were even strands of black flames rising from within the blue flames, these were the impurities that had been tempered out from the depths of the skeleton sea.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Faint golden liquid continuously dripped onto the void battleship below like golden rain, causing the entire void battleship to emit sizzling sounds.
What was strange was that after the golden liquid fell onto the void battleship, it actually seeped into the interior of the battleship at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the faint golden liquid continuously dripped, the entire void battleship's aura began to rise. It was no longer just as cold as metal, but had instead turned into a furnace, emitting bursts of heat.
Even on the body of the battleship, there were traces of reddish-gold patterns. These were the mysteries of fire that were originally imprinted on the five-star Flame Thorn Bird's skeleton. Even though they were incomplete, they still could not be underestimated.
Roar!
Finally, the green flaming dragon in the sky let out a dragon roar, and suddenly plunged into the spatial battleship below.
The green flame that entered the void battleship suddenly became illusory, and the entire battleship was wrapped in illusory green flames. As it continued to forge, the layer of faint golden liquid that was originally attached to the surface of the battleship was fusing with the battleship at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Whoosh!
After a long while, Lord Dragon exhaled and inhaled deeply. Green flames left the battleship and entered his mouth.
"This is all I can do. I used my Life Dragon Flame to fuse the skeleton of the flaming bird with the void battleship, but this is all I can do. After all, I am not a craftsman of the human race!"
Even so, this Heaven Rank Void Battleship's appearance had already changed. The originally pitch-black hull was now mixed with wisps of faint golden crystals. That was the remains of the Flame Thorn Bird's fire mysteries, and it could even instinctively absorb the fire elements drifting between heaven and earth.
Moreover, Xiao Chen could feel that the defense of the battleship had doubled. Void battleships were built with spiritual materials, and some key parts, such as the engine room, needed to be built with godly materials.
As for the Five Star Flame Bramble Bird's skeleton, it was a fire-elemental beast that could sense the Profound Mysteries of Fire. At the Five Star level, its skeleton was comparable to a normal godly material. After the two fused, there would definitely be a qualitative improvement.
"It's already very good to be able to improve to this level!" Xiao Chen replied softly.
At this moment, the defense of the void battleship had at least doubled. The primordial stone cannons on the hull had also absorbed the essence of the Flame Thorn Bird's skeleton and were simply refined by the Green Flame Sky Falling Dragon. At this moment, the void battleship's attack and defense were comparable to a Heaven-rank high-grade warship, apart from its speed.
Roar!
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the green fiery dragon rushed out again. This time, it was going to melt the skeleton of a Roaring Wind Thunder Beast. It was also a Five-Star Realm Exotic Beast. Although it was only a skeleton, there were endless howls of wind and rumbles of thunder.
Below the skeleton was another Heaven-rank mid-grade void battleship.
Soon, under the burning of the dragon flame, the exotic beast's skeleton began to slowly melt, turning into materials to strengthen the battleship!
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded. Immediately, endless flames mixed with many pieces of casting material shot out in all directions. Even though Xiao Chen's reaction was fast and he managed to knock down all the pieces, the violent airflow generated by the explosion still caused the soldiers in the distance to suffer heavy injuries!
The third mid-grade Heaven-class battleship exploded as Lord Dragon had described. The battleship was unable to fuse with the beast's skeleton, so it exploded when it reached the critical point. The entire battleship exploded from the middle and turned into several pieces.
However, Xiao Chen did not stop. He had obtained a total of seven Five-star exotic beast skeletons from the Ancestral Court's vault, and all of them were comparable to ordinary godly materials. They were rare materials for forging.
Boom!
After the first Heaven-rank mid-grade void battleship exploded, good luck did not come again. Immediately after, the last Heaven-rank mid-grade battleship also exploded because it could not withstand the violent energy in the exotic beast's skeleton.
In this way, there were only five Heaven-rank low-grade battleships left in the tribe. The remaining two skeletons were the Five-star Scarlet Demonic Ape and the Five-star Four-winged Flying Demonic Tiger.
Fortunately, there were no more explosions during the subsequent reforging. Similarly, these two void battleships were upgraded from Heaven-rank low-grade to Heaven-rank mid-grade after being refined by the Five-star exotic beast's skeleton. Moreover, they were at the top of the mid-grade.
After a round of fusion, the Gu Yuan Tribe was left with eight void battleships. In addition to the Half King grade battleship, there were two Heaven-rank high-grade battleships, two Heaven-rank mid-grade battleships, and three Heaven-rank low-grade battleships!
