Chapter 639: Enhancing Top-tier Combat Power

“Next, we need to enhance our top-tier combat power. Mares, in the super star cluster, is there a race that is not closely related to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, or Reincarnation Tribe, yet has astonishing explosive power and is among the most significant forces in the entire super star cluster?”

Yi Chen shifted his gaze back to Mares.

The battleship fleet sent by the human federation to the Tianling Star Cluster to search for Mares had already hinted at the signs of the Great Flame Empire.

Even if they could delay to the end, if Morris could not find Mares for a long time and had no solutions, he would inevitably seek help from the foreign affairs department.

It was only a matter of time before the foreign affairs department discovered that he had not signed a vassal contract.

By then, they would definitely send a stronger member than Morris to investigate the situation in this star cluster.

There was even a possibility that a high-ranking leader at level 230 would personally come to investigate the matter.

The likelihood of this was not low.

While using the Soul Searching Technique to extract the memories of the Ka Yue Tribe warriors, Yi Chen found that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had tightened their information blockade against the human federation, and the Time Tribe was also fully investigating news related to the human federation.

It was likely that the rapidly changing situation in the super star cluster had greatly increased the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department’s attention to the human federation, which had the capability for large-scale long-distance troop transport.

Upon learning that this strongest member of humanity had not signed a vassal contract, the foreign affairs department might send high-ranking leaders to this star cluster to ensure that they could resolve any associated troubles and keep the human federation under control.

If that happened, it would be quite a trouble for Yi Chen.

Because even if the Shadow King used the Heart of Time to reach the limit of level 210, his stealth techniques could only prevent level 230 strong fighters from detecting him.

And that was all he could do.

If there were Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching abilities nearby level 230 fighters, or even an entire army of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the Great Flame Empire would have nowhere to hide and would be forced to retreat into the Map of Mountains and Rivers to conceal themselves.

Their previous achievements would completely vanish.

To prevent this situation from occurring, the best approach was to possess the capability to threaten or even kill a level 230 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

To achieve this, Yi Chen needed at least two level 220 strong fighters under his control.

Securing the resources and treasures needed for the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise had thus become the most important task in Yi Chen’s eyes.

His plan was to find a powerful level 220 strong fighter and a level 220 Time Tribe warrior.

With this, even if the high-ranking leaders from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department led an army to this star cluster, they would return empty-handed.

He could first use the Shadow King’s stealth abilities to deplete their luck.

Then, the two level 220 strong fighters could close in on the opponent using the Shadow King’s stealth techniques and launch a surprise attack.

The Time Tribe warrior could leverage the laws of time to significantly weaken the opponent’s speed and reaction.

Meanwhile, the other powerful level 220 fighter could deal a heavy blow to the opponent.

With their luck spent, the chances of successfully killing the opponent were quite high.

Even if they could not kill them, they could inflict heavy injuries, forcing the opponent to flee and not dare to remain in this star cluster.

“Boljin Tribe!”

Mares answered without hesitation, immediately naming a race that popped into his mind which met Yi Chen’s criteria.

“The Boljin Tribe is among the frontline races in the entire super star cluster, only second to the three dominant races.”

“Their innate ability is extraordinarily strong attack power. Coupled with remarkable reaction and speed, they rank among the top in various tribes, making them exceptionally powerful in one-on-one combat.”

“Besides that, all the frontline races want to become the fourth dominant race in the super star cluster. Very few depend on the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, or Reincarnation Tribe, and the Boljin Tribe is no exception.”

“Although they do not actively offend the three dominant races and try to avoid getting involved in their wars, they also do not ally with any of the three dominant races.”

“Then it must be the Boljin Tribe!”

Yi Chen nodded.

Their attacking power is incredibly strong, and their reaction and speed are not lacking either. They are undoubtedly his best choice.

Having little connection with the three dominant races makes it easier to control them, and he doesn’t have to worry about them turning against him at a critical moment, risking their lives in the process.

After all, even if the Shadow King reaches his peak, he will only be level 210.

Controlling a level 220 strong fighter carries quite a risk.

As for the Time Tribe warrior, that was unavoidable.

Fortunately, the target of the attack is a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, so the resistance should not be too great.

After considering the whole plan, Yi Chen arranged, “Mares, gather those subordinates who won’t implicate you near the teleportation array, and brief them on collecting materials. Also, create a new identity for me.”

“Okay!”

Mares nodded in response.

Yi Chen said no more and informed the Shadow King to go to the nearest life planet.

After arriving, he would use Mares’s subordinate identity to transform into the appearance of a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member and directly enter the life planet.

Then, he would pass through the spatial rift to reach the area set up with the teleportation array.

From there, he would control the flying treasure to reach the Deserted Star, where the teleportation array is located.

The Shadow King focused on cultivating, using the Heart of Time to speed up his advancement as much as possible.

Mares had already notified his subordinates, instructing them to find a way to reach the nearby life planet so he could assign tasks for collecting the resources and treasures needed for the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise.

Yi Chen then returned to the blood-colored planet through the teleportation array.

While cultivating, he asked Bai Ruo Xin to notify all the top geniuses to return to the blood-colored planet to prepare for the tenth session of skill teaching.

The top geniuses of the Great Flame Empire had successfully overcome tribulations one after another with the help of the Third Generation Cave Paradise, entering the Human Immortal Stage.

To continue advancing, they could only learn the Chaos Technique for the Human Immortal Stage.

The Senior Military Officials who received the news cheered with joy. After arranging all the matters, they returned to the blood-colored planet together.

The already winding down second wave of expansion was not significantly affected by this.

This time, only the top geniuses of the Great Flame Empire returned to the blood-colored planet.

The second-tier geniuses and the million-strong eastern human army remained among the various legions.

Without the top geniuses, the effectiveness of the army’s assassination teams was slightly impacted.

However, even though the second wave of expansion involved several more races than the first wave’s three races, the presence of numerous level 130 strong fighters in the Great Flame Empire’s expeditionary army meant the impact was not too great.

At the very least, it did not affect the Great Flame Empire’s expeditionary army’s ability to defeat and conquer the more than ten races involved in the second wave of expansion within the scheduled time according to military plans.
