The only fortunate thing is that his level of spiritual contamination is not too high. At least for someone with Eighth Rank spiritual intensity like him, it won't affect normal actions for a long time afterward.

He shook his head and didn't think further.

Song Chi's gaze turned to the two corpses on the Free Stall Area below, brought back by the Seven-star Ancient Demon.

Ninth Rank Flame Demon Monarch, Ninth Rank Annihilation Flame Dragon, both being Ninth Rank level corpses, their value needs no further explanation; merely the Ninth Rank Dominant Origin Blood that can be refined from them is already considered priceless.

Blood of this rank, even the entire civilization produces only a limited quantity every century, mostly monopolized by giant forces, rarely appearing in the sight of ordinary Extreme Star Destroyer Captains or regular Galaxy Captains.

Song Chi's thought was to subsequently see if he could use this as leverage to attempt solving the issues that he and the Asura Emperor faced.

As for blood refinement, with the support of Ninth Rank Peak energy in the Ruins Market, it would not be difficult for him to carry out the refinement.

The key is that with "Mind Control," regardless of being outside the market, as long as he doesn't go to high-dimensional lands like the Chaos Divine Land, he can easily perform remote refinement at will, without needing to stay in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at all times.

This provides him great convenience. After putting the refinement work into the schedule straightforwardly, Song Chi did not continue to stay in the Ruins Market.

Bottomless Abyss, Flame Prison Abyss, Torch Domain.

Like other major domains in the Flame Prison Abyss, the main color of the Torch Domain is also fiery red. However, unlike many other smoke-filled domains full of Abyss Demon Races, the Torch Domain is the garrison headquarters of the Torch Human Civilization in this Bottomless Abyss.

Since more than a hundred thousand years ago, when the Four Great Empires of Torch jointly attacked the Bottomless Abyss, and then after more than twenty thousand years of thoroughly stabilizing the front line, this domain has always been the basic area of the Torch Civilization in this Bottomless Abyss.

In the recent catastrophe faced by civilization, this Torch Domain naturally became the rear guard for the retreat of the Torch army from the Abyss.

Torch City is the central city of the entirety of the Torch Domain, and over the past hundred thousand years, it has served as the logistics center of the Bottomless Abyss, responsible for the transfer of all kinds of resources sent over from the Torch Inheritance Domain.

But now, this city has transformed its identity abruptly, from a logistics hub to a "City of Hope" in the eyes of all the Torch Captains stationed in the Abyss.

This is because the three evacuation teleportation arrays left by the Torch Inheritance Domain in this Flame Prison Abyss are all located in this [Torch City].

Any fleet wishing to evacuate must first reach this [Torch City].

...

Torch City, the general command of Torch Civilization stationed in the Bottomless Abyss.

In the somewhat dim command room, a slightly weary man's voice emerged.

"How is it? What are the results?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, a reply quickly came from the communication light screen projected in front of the man:

"Reporting to the Supreme Commander, our unit has successfully received the evacuation fleet rushing from the south, and that small demon pursuit team has been repelled."

"Could we find out which Southern Demon Suppression Pass people they are? How many in the fleet?"

"They are all garrison troops from the Southern Demon Suppression Pass, and the specific numbers are still being counted, but it's estimated not to be less than ten million."

"Hmm… How many?"

The man's tone abruptly intensified, with no trace of the weariness that had tinged his words earlier, and a sudden flash of bright light could even be seen deep in his profound eyes.

This is a reaction that humans typically display upon hearing sufficiently thrilling news.

"Not less than ten million!"

"Good, good, good."

After receiving confirmation again, the man's delight was no longer fleeting, and after voicing three consecutive expressions of approval, his tone suddenly shifted.

"If I remember correctly, the garrison fleet from the Demon Suppression Pass doesn't exceed twenty million, so over half evacuating is a good thing, but what is the specific reason?"

"As early as half a month ago, the Demon Suppression Pass was surrounded by billions of demon armies, and reports sent back clearly recorded that the demon army had four Ninth Rank Dominators. What happened in between?"

The person on the other end of the communication evidently already understood this and quickly explained:

"According to the information we currently understand, we can confirm that someone proactively provided support to the [Demon Suppression Pass]."

"Who?"

"[Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall—Greedy Wolf Palace Master]!"

The man looked serious, then frowned and continued:

"The Greedy Wolf Palace Master of the Beidou Star Palace? Wasn't that person in seclusion… Are you referring to—Qiong Yu King?"

"Yes, Supreme Commander!"

...

After listening to all the information and hanging up the communication, the man exhaled a long breath.

He murmured to himself: "Charging in alone with a single ship, reversed the assault on a Ninth Rank Flame Demon Monarch with thunderous might among four Ninth Rank Dominators—good for the Qiong Yu King, worthy of succeeding the 'Greedy Wolf' position, but it's unfortunate that they are not from my Holy Hall Federation."

With a slight sigh, he quickly shook his head, regaining calmness in his mind, and series of orders began to emanate from the command room.

"Torch City is about to flood with evacuating fleets in the millions; from now on, all aspects in the city must enter full operation status immediately."

"Ensure the three teleportation arrays are well-prepared, striving to transport this batch of fleets back to the Inheritance Domain in the shortest time possible."

"All intelligence-gathering fleets should note that moving forward, the information on the direction of the demon tides from the south of the Demon Suppression Pass has a temporary priority increase of one level, ensuring to confirm its advance information as soon as possible."

...

Compared to the still tense situation in the Bottomless Abyss, Song Family's Dragon Spine Continent appeared exceptionally tranquil at the moment.

After leaving the Ruins Market, Song Chi did not continue staying in the Bottomless Abyss but returned directly to the Dragon Spine Continent.
