Chapter 373: 【Dominating Blood】_2
```
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone above the Vault of Heaven. This abrupt change alarmed the Alien Race within the Ruins Market.
However, upon seeing the illusory Law Golden Dragon formed by the Ruins Market Origin Principle in the sky above, the doubts in the hearts of the Alien Race members dissipated completely.
Because all Alien Races were aware that only the Great Being behind the market could create such a disturbance, and since it was the mysterious Ruins Market Master who made a move, it definitely wasn't aimed at these minor characters.
The seasoned elders of the market, having experienced a previous outing against the Qingtian Tribe, were now guessing whether some daring Alien Race was trying to probe Zhu Tian Ruins Market again from beyond some spatial gate.
However, the reality was entirely different from what they had imagined. The Law Golden Dragon above turned its gaze and its eyes of law fixated on the Half-Step Sixth Rank Half-Rodent below.
At the same time, standing in front of a stall, Song Chi was illuminated by a flash of Ghost Light between his brows. From the mini form of the Cangqiong, a stream of golden brilliance surged out, which was an activated beam stemming from the "Purusa Zen Seal: External Time Stop" Feature of the Purusa Zen Seal component.
Of course, this golden beam was controlled by Song Chi such that none of the other Alien Races in the market could catch it.
As the Half-Rodent was completely frozen in time, the Law Golden Dragon above softly hummed, and the market's Power of Laws swiftly dragged the Emperor Ruins Source Stone, which was being decyphered, up into the Vault of Heaven.
All of this happened in an instant. By the time the Starry Sea Alien Race reacted, traces of law that were close to a Sixth Rank Level suddenly erupted, creating a tremendous energy impact in the market sky.
This explosive might was quickly smoothed over by the Law Golden Dragon, and calm was restored in the market as if nothing had ever happened.
But after quick thinking, the members of the Starry Sea Alien Race, including those recovered from the Time Stop State, realized the cause. They all knew that the special Origin Stone contained a tremendous destructive energy, and that the great Ruins Market Master had sensed this destructive presence in advance and had acted to eliminate all threats.
Realizing this, those Alien Races near the Origin Stone stall felt a lingering fear, but were filled with gratitude towards the mysterious Ruins Market Master. Those who witnessed the incident were in awe of the master's might, appearing omniscient and omnipotent within Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
As for the Half-Rodent stall owner, also fully aware of the entire process, turned deathly pale. It understood very clearly that as a Stone Solver, had it not been for the master's intervention, it would have been obliterated by the tremendous energy burst.
In comparison, its gratitude towards the mysterious master behind the market was the deepest.
Song Chi had some guesses about these occurrences, but he didn't care much.
At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on another item.
A special piece of beast skin.
It was precisely the high-grade void beast skin sealed within that Emperor Ruins Source Stone, which had remained undamaged despite the outburst of the Half-Step Sixth Rank Level Traces of Law.
This alone showcased the extraordinary nature of the beast skin, which was also what attracted Song Chi.
Seeing that the beast skin had not been destroyed during the outburst, he had promptly taken it into an isolated storage area.
Currently observing the beast skin through space, no matter how he inspected it, he could not discern its peculiarities.
Resigned, Song Chi withdrew his gaze, planning to check it again after the market dealings were over.
Following the disappearance of the Law Golden Dragon in the Vault of Heaven, the bustling trading in the free trading area quickly resumed, but there were significant changes at the Half-Rodent's stall.
After such an incident, many Alien Races who had gathered at the stall swiftly dispersed, fearing a recurrence that might affect them.
The Half-Rodent was not surprised. Given what had happened, this outcome was only natural.
Thus, it had no intention of lingering. After quickly packing up its stall, it left directly through the Ruins Market Guest Token.
It was just another market trade after all, and the next time the Ruin Market opened for trading, the Alien Races would be refreshed with no lasting impact.
This was the reason behind its resolute departure.
Following the exit of the Half-Rodent, no other incidents occurred in the market, and the trading session soon concluded.
As all Alien Races disappeared from the market, Song Chi did not rush to inspect that special beast skin or take out the newly acquired Sky-breaking Spike and Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform components. Instead, he immediately opened the properties panel of the market.
As expected, this round of transactions should fulfill the last conditions for the market's upgrade.
[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]
```
[Ruins Market Master: Song Chi]
[Level: lv39]
[Specifications: 11800mX11800m]
[Basic Configuration: 245 shops, one 2900mx2900m stall area, one three-story inn, one lv39 All-Attributes Cultivation Room (efficiency doubles during Spectral Energy cultivation), one lv39 Spectral Energy Protection Formation, one lv39 Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, one Third Rank Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform.]
[Extra Configuration: Stealth Light Platform (Purple) lv30, Third Rank Bloodline Baptism Altar (Red) (2/14)]
[Feature: Averting Misfortune (can move freely within the void, subtly avoiding natural disasters)]
[Feature 2: Spatial Anchor Point (can set two coordinate anchors in any Star Domain within the Shattered Starry Sea)]
[Upgrade Requirement: 500 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 10 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin, Ruins Market transaction volume reaches 500,000 (504258/500000) strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, one Temporal Spirit Crystal]
Indeed, the transaction volume required for the "Upgrade Requirement" section was completely satisfied.
Seeing this, Song Chi's figure flashed, and with a spatial fluctuation, he reappeared in the Ruins Market storage room.
Ignoring that particular piece of high-rank beast skin, Song Chi directly rushed to the two pieces of Mixed Elemental Copper that he had obtained from the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator Flagship.
The total weight of the two pieces of Mixed Elemental Copper was just over 30kg, not a large quantity; Song Chi picked up the smaller piece.
At the same time, his mind whirled rapidly, and a prompt sounded in his ears.
[Would you like to substitute 10kg of Mixed Elemental Copper for the Temporal Spirit Crystal?]
"Confirm!"
[Ruins Market promotion conditions have been met, do you confirm initiating the Ruins Market promotion?]
Song Chi did not respond, but instead, turned and walked to the special configuration area of the Ruins Market.
Soon, after spending certain resources, the [Stealth Light Platform] was enhanced to lv40.
This Ruins Market promotion was from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, and he worried about the repeat of the situation when the Ruins Market was promoted by one rank initially, without preemptively enhancing the Stealth Light Platform to Fourth Rank.
After completing these arrangements, he reopened the Ruins Market properties panel and then confirmed initiating this Ruins Market transaction.
Following his formal confirmation,
The Mixed Elemental Copper in his hand suddenly vanished, along with some strands of Third and Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin.
The prompt sounded once again.
[The time required for this promotion is one year, remaining time 364 days 23:59:56]
Hearing this required time, the corners of Song Chi's mouth involuntarily twitched.
He remembered that past promotions took either one day or a few days; a whole year this time came somewhat suddenly.
However, turning the thought around, this promotion was from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, a pivotal point for the transformation from a low-level civilization to an intermediate civilization in the Shattered Starry Sea, so it wasn't unreasonable for it to take a bit longer.
Soon, a familiar tremor came from the Ruins Market beneath his feet.
If his guess was right, this type of tremor would continue throughout the following year.
Thinking this, he instantly lost any desire to continue staying in the Ruins Market.
With such disturbance, it was not suitable for practicing the Guidance Technique, Visualization, Comprehension of Laws, or anything of that sort.
Furthermore, with the Ruins Market entering the promotion buffer period, its innate Spatial Anchor Point feature would also be temporarily unusable, meaning that Song Chi would be unable to go to the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment for the next year.
