Tens of thousands of meters away, the countless deep blue spores, pushed back by the repulsion field, returned like a whirlwind, rapidly surging towards the five Torch Warships at the center.
The five Torch Warships had a complete plan ready. Apart from the woman's silver cruiser, the other four Torch Warships were taken into their respective Torch Ship Captain's Ancestral Torch. After their bodies were exposed in the starry space, the four didn't hesitate. Spectral energy swirled around them as they quickly moved toward the silver cruiser.
It had only been a few minutes since they jumped from a light-year away, and the jump devices on their flagship still needed more than ten minutes to complete the buffer. If they waited to escape using spatial jump technology, it would be far too late.
Once the four charged into the hangar, the silver cruiser quickly closed the open hangar doors. At the same time, a deduction prompt from Floating Land Origin sounded next to the woman's ear in the main control room.
[Deducting 40 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin!]
The woman, who was fully prepared for this, chose to ignore it.
After these actions, the five began to wait in silence.
Dozens of seconds later, the jump device officially completed its buffer, and the woman reactivated the component immediately.
However, this Purple Level jump device, although she had enhanced it to lv40, still had a charge time as long as 10 minutes.
Looking at the warship's surroundings, the countless deep blue spores had already traversed tens of thousands of meters, reaching close to the warship. If they truly waited another ten minutes, even if the energy shield component installed on her flagship was of Orange Quality, it wouldn't be able to hold up.
Moreover, near the trunk of the deep blue mother tree behind them, several spore storms had already formed, rapidly expanding in size. Once they spread over and pulled the warship into their gravitational field, it would be difficult to perform a spatial jump at that point.
Looking at the woman's cheeks, her exquisite face showed no sign of panic. Since she dared to intrude into the main territory of the deep blue spore mother tree, she naturally had made thorough preparations.
With a thought, another special component on the warship was activated, once again a special component designed to reduce time. Only this time, it wasn't aimed at reducing the buffer time but the charge time.
With the activation of this component, the original ten-minute charge time for the jump device was also halved, leaving only five minutes.
Even so, no one could guarantee complete safety.
Around the warship, countless deep blue spores and advanced deep blue spores accumulated around the Orange Level energy shield triggered by the silver cruiser, with spore viruses eagerly eroding this Orange Quality energy shield.
In such torment, time ticked by second by second.
The energy shield of the silver cruiser grew dimmer, and even the outer layer of warship armor began to shift towards a blue hue.
After what felt like eons, in the midst of this agony, a pleasant prompt from the ship's semi-intelligent system finally reached the woman's ears.
[Jump device charge nearing completion, 10, 9, 8...]
[3, 2, 1, 0]
When the countdown reached zero, the tense look in the woman's eyes relaxed. The warship's energy shield was about to collapse. Any further delay and she would have to stay in this star domain forever. Fortunately, things hadn't reached that point.
Humming!
In front of the warship, a spatial vortex a few thousand kilometers in diameter emerged. The nearest deep blue spores were sucked into it and instantly crushed by the terrifying spatial power.
The woman eagerly maneuvered the warship forward, and as the warship was about to disappear into the spatial vortex, the deep blue spore storm, which had swollen to several thousand kilometers in diameter, had somehow already reached behind the warship.

Under the intense force of the storm, the silver cruiser began to tremble violently. The energy shield, already on the verge of overload, suddenly shattered at this moment.
Without the defense of the energy shield, the dense mass of deep blue spores swarmed in from behind. Yet, that wasn't even the main concern; the real issue was that the spore storm had transformed into a storm dragon, which roared as it charged straight toward the rear of the warship.
The diameter of this spore storm had already reached a terrifying several thousand kilometers, and the energy it carried was beyond imagination.
One could foresee that, should this storm dragon make direct contact with the rear of the warship, even if the silver cruiser didn't sink on the spot, being swept uncontrollably into the space vortex ahead by this uncontrolled thrusting force would likely result in it being shredded to pieces by the spatial rifts.
At this critical juncture, the woman's thoughts moved, and she activated the "Inkstone Shield" active feature of the shadow inkstone warship armor included in the warship's basic components.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A thick black stone shield suddenly formed, tightly enveloping the entire warship.
The next second, the storm dragon from behind slammed into the tail of the ship's hull.
Driven by the terrifying force, the warship, covered in the inkstone shield, shot straight into the space vortex ahead.
...
Hundreds of light-years away, a massive space vortex suddenly appeared in the silent star domain, followed by a huge pitch-black object bursting out from within the vortex.
This pitch-black armor layer was covered with terrifyingly large cracks. Minutes later, as the inkstone shield dissipated, the inner silver cruiser also revealed its form—it was just that the cruiser looked rather worse for wear at the moment.
The once brightly streamlined silver hull now bore countless cracks of varying sizes, and the ship's bow, where the main cannon was situated, was severed in the middle, completely wrecked by the spatial rifts.
Crack!
Amidst the sound of steam, the hatch doors of the ship opened, and four equally shaken Torch ship captains quickly scrambled out before immediately summoning their respective Torch warships. For a Torch ship captain, only within their own warship could they find a sufficient sense of security.
Inside the main control room of the silver cruiser, the woman gently massaged her temples, a deep fatigue flickering through her clear eyes.
During the previous action, her spiritual force had been running at an overload from beginning to end. Even with the Third Rank Level Guidance Technique at her disposal, she still felt somewhat overwhelmed.
But that soon turned to joy, for regardless of anything else, the deep blue fruit was finally in her hands, which, of course, was a reason to be happy.
Even though the cost was considerable, she didn't care.
The person behind her had reached the end of life; most life-extending items had already been used and were no longer effective for them, but this deep blue fruit was different. Birthed by a Fifth Rank Level deep blue mother tree, although it couldn't extend the life of the person behind her by a hundred years, it could still do so by half.
Fifty years—with these fifty years as a buffer, her fleet of warships would have a certain chance of making an assault at the Fourth Rank, and as long as she advanced to a Zhulu Warship, she would have the basic right to make her own choices and not passively accept others' arrangements.
Dismissing the myriad thoughts in her mind, she commanded with a thought, and the ship's hatch opened once more. Four radiant lights shot out from the hangar, each drawn to the four warships at the side.
This was the subsequent payment for inviting these four Torch warships to take action. Even for her, it wasn't a small sum, but it was necessary to pay.
Not to mention personal credit, the identity of the black cruiser on the left was not simple either, being a direct member of one of the most powerful noble families in the duchy. Should she really refuse to pay, once the other party's family exerted pressure, even her status would be subjected to significant strain.
After gladly accepting the subsequent payment, the man on the black cruiser still made one more attempt to inquire about the "Brainwave Remote Control System" component before leaving, but was once again sternly refused by the woman.
Only after the four warships had all departed, the woman's taut expression finally could no longer be contained. Her exquisite face suddenly turned pale, and simultaneously, the silver cruiser, which had been relatively normal up till then, began to blare a frantic red alert.
The power of space was actually not that easy to withstand. Even with the protection of that inkstone shield, the extent of the damage to the silver cruiser was beyond imagination.
