A row of more than two hundred furnaces of various shapes but all exquisite and brilliant stood on the beach. Dozens of spiritualists were running back and forth between the furnaces, making hand seals from time to time. Golden, white, red and various colors of spiritual flames were surging, and heat waves were rolling, burning the sea surface dozens of miles away to boil.
Gusts of cold wind whistled over, and the evil ghosts under Chu Jie raised the cold wind, rolling up piles of metal ores, like huge rivers that kept sending them to the beach.
I really don’t know who made the big teleportation talisman of Zi Xiaosheng. Its killing power seems to have spirituality. After these evil ghosts were subdued by Chu Jie and became Chu Jie’s ghost slaves, their strength was restored overnight!
The high-ranking evil spirits of the Heavenly Lords are incredibly powerful. The dark winds they stir up can easily destroy giant trees and even uproot a small mountain of about 100 meters. Therefore, they are very efficient in transporting ore, and can easily deliver millions of kilograms of raw ore each time.
From time to time, low roars could be heard from the depths of the island.
Hu Xiaotian, who was recruited as an henchman by Hu Dali, led more than 300 tiger monsters under his command, and more than 20,000 wolf monsters under Agou. They were like industrious worker ants, digging veins and mining ore day and night.
Yes, the group of wolf monsters under Agou’s command has expanded to more than 20,000 again!
This island is over ten thousand miles in radius, with high mountains and dense forests, and groups of wild beasts everywhere. It took Agou only three days to find dozens of wolf packs. At the cost of being exhausted and unconscious for six days, Agou forcibly transformed them all into wolf monsters.
Those more than 300 tiger monsters were transformed one by one after Hu Dali plundered the mountains and forests within a radius of more than a thousand miles.
More than 20,000 monsters with low cultivation but strong brute force joined forces to mine hundreds of millions of kilograms of various raw ores every day. All the ores were transported from the mountains to the beach by the evil ghosts and sent to the furnace to be cast into various strange alloys.
These alloy formulas are inherited from the Ziyin tradition, and about 60% of them have long been lost.
When Chu Tian took out the alloy formulas that had been lost for hundreds of thousands of years, those spiritualists were like flies smelling blood. They fawned over Chu Tian in an almost servile manner, just hoping to get more good things from him.
Chu Tian was very generous. Refining the Soul-Slaying Battleship required the efforts of these spiritual masters. These alloy formulas were not precious in Ziyin's inheritance, so he shared these formulas without reservation.
These spiritualists immediately forgot the hatred of the killing of Dayi Qianjun and Daye Pojun, and regarded Chu Tian as their "spiritual mentor". They worked tirelessly to refine ores and smelt alloys. Every day, they shouted happily that they had mastered a new method of smelting alloys, and they had new ideas for the casting of some powerful spiritual weapons.
Chu Tian also took out the diagrams of various defensive and offensive formations needed to refine the Soul-Slaying Battleship, various secret rune structures of the Great Yin Divine Kingdom, various strange energy circuits, power furnaces and other precious materials.
As a result, these spiritual people finally went crazy. They worked hard day and night as if they were possessed by evil spirits. The construction of the Soul-Slaying Battleship progressed smoothly and rapidly in their crazy enthusiasm.
During this process, these spiritual people encountered all kinds of strange troubles. Chu Tian had the Ziyin inheritance, so he could always find the most ingenious solutions. Every time he solved these troubles, he was always amazed by these spiritual people.
In the process of building the Soul-Slaying Battleship, Chu Tian personally refined many parts and components, cast many matching spiritual weapons and war equipment, carved many formations and runes, and arranged countless restrictions. His skills in refining equipment gradually became proficient from being unfamiliar.
Three busy months passed in a flash. With the help of dozens of master-level equipment refiners in the spiritual world, this giant ship, which was 360 meters long from head to tail and 66 meters wide at the widest point, and could accommodate tens of thousands of amphibious combat soldiers, was finally completed.
"It's just the lowest level Soul-Killing Battleship, but this is the best we can do." Chu Tian, who was bare-chested and had his skin turned bronze by the fire of the furnace, stood on a small hill seven or eight miles away with his hands on his hips, gazing at the huge metal battleship and sighing with satisfaction.
"A higher-grade Soul-Slaying Battleship, even in the era of the Great Yin Divine Kingdom, would require the power of an entire state, thousands of weapon refiners, and several years of joint efforts to build; the highest-grade Soul-Slaying Battleship would require the Great Yin Divine Kingdom to use the power of the entire country, gather millions of weapon refiners, and take a hundred years to build. It is completely a city floating in the sky."
Chu Tian flipped through the information about the Soul-Slaying Battleship in Ziyin's inheritance in his mind, and said with a hint of amazement: "With the number of people and resources we have now, we can successfully build a Soul-Slaying Battleship that is classified as the ninth grade. This is the limit."
"This is it, the lower ninth rank!" Hu Dali, Lao Hei, Agou and Aque stood beside Chu Tian in a daze, staring blankly at the huge ship which was made entirely of alloy and quietly suspended in the air three feet above the ground. They felt dizzy.
It is three hundred and sixty zhang long and sixty-six zhang wide at its widest. There are three towers on the front, middle and back of the deck. The middle tower is twenty-four zhang high. It is made of alloy and has one hundred and eight layers of defensive formations, with nearly one hundred thousand defensive prohibitions of various sizes.
The battleship is powered by three spirit crystal furnaces, and all the energy consumption of all the formations is also provided by these three furnaces.
The battleship is equipped with 360 Soul-Killing Crystal Cannons, which rely on instantly burning soul crystals to transform into destructive beams to attack the enemy. After all, it is a Soul-Killing Battleship below the ninth rank, and the attack power of these 360 Soul-Killing Crystal Cannons is not high. Each attack is only equivalent to the full force attack of the initial stage of the Heavenly Venerable. However, the biggest advantage of the Soul-Killing Crystal Cannons is that as long as the soul crystal supply is continuous, these Soul-Killing Crystal Cannons can launch attacks continuously.
At the bow and stern of the warship, there are nine main guns, six in front and three in the back, which also rely on burning spirit crystals to obtain energy and can burst out a full-strength attack equivalent to that of a Saint Realm beginner. Like those Soul-Killing Crystal Cannons, these nine main guns have endless firepower as long as the spirit crystals are supplied.
Fortunately, Chu Tian and his team found three medium-sized and one large spiritual crystal mines on this island. Hu Xiaotian led the tiger monsters and wolf monsters to mine day and night. The spiritual crystals contained in these four spiritual crystal mines were enough for this ninth-grade Soul-Slaying warship to bombard continuously for ten years.
"It's actually such a big guy!" Ying Xiu'er flew over lightly along the ground and landed gently beside Chu Tian.
"Ziyin's inheritance is truly amazing!" Ying Xiu'er turned around and stared at Chu Tian with her beautiful eyes: "Boss Chu, are you interested in becoming the national teacher of my Great Qin?"
“Haha!” Chu Tian laughed a few times, squinting his eyes and staring at Ying Xiu’er: “Young Master Ying, let’s prepare the supplies we need for this operation first! As for other things, we can wait until Young Master Ying pays the hire money and allows me to become a human seed!”
