Chapter 737: The Terrible Great Flame Empire

At the edge of the star cluster,

Inside a deserted star,

the strongest members of the major dominant races are gathered together within a massive defensive barrier.

Their expressions are not good.

This is because they have just received news.

The army of the Great Flame Empire is sweeping through the entire Undying Star System.

“What are the federal High-ranking Leaders and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe thinking?”

The curses from the Undying King keep echoing.

The strong fighters present have been waiting for news of Yi Chen and the downfall of the Great Flame Empire.

What they did not expect is that instead of hearing about the downfall of the Great Flame Empire, they received news of its sudden and overwhelming advance into the Undying Star System.

This completely took everyone by surprise.

In the eyes of the various strongest members, the strength of Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire should not be able to withstand an attack from the powerful beings of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Even if Yi Chen miraculously created a way to contend with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it would only be a contest.

But right now, there is no news coming from the Tianling Star Cluster.

It’s as if the federal High-ranking Leaders and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe are completely indifferent to Yi Chen, having taken no action at all.

Instead, the Great Flame Empire has suddenly sent troops to the Undying Star System, continuing its expansion.

“With Yi Chen’s influence over the human federation, the federal High-ranking Leaders and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe cannot simply stand by.”

The Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe said with a grave expression, “It’s obvious that the strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe must have secretly infiltrated the Tianling Star Cluster. It’s just that they returned empty-handed…”

The strongest members of the various tribes fall silent.

This possibility is the most likely.

However, if that is indeed the case, then the tribes are in danger.

This indicates that Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire truly have the confidence to confront the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

At the very least, they have enough confidence to oppose the Tree-Dwelling Tribe within the star cluster.

This also suggests that the Great Flame Empire possesses a mysterious force that can even contend with two hundred level strong fighters.

More importantly, the mid-level and high-end combatants of the Great Flame Empire are equally terrifying.

Although the Tianling Star Cluster is a small star system, after successfully consolidating the various races, it can still provide the Great Flame Empire with a massive number of strong fighters and combat power above level eighty.

The number of strong fighters and troops cannot be compared to any dominant race, let alone the allied races.

But besides the armies of the various tribes, the Great Flame Empire has an army of humanity that averages at the Human Immortal Stage, which is the level 100 strong warrior standard.

This human army averages a cultivation level of level 100, with their average combat power exceeding level 110.

With their powerful long-range attack ability, as long as tens of thousands gather together, even the strongest members of the various tribes must retreat.

Faced with this human army, all the strong fighters and troops from the various tribes united would still face certain defeat.

In direct combat, this human army can single-handedly take on the armies of all the races within the star cluster.

Their deterrent power in large-scale warfare is not weaker than that of the invincible powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The various tribes simply cannot compete.

Just like attacking the human federation army, attacking the troops of the Great Flame Empire would also be futile.

Because the Great Flame Empire abandoned the profits from resources and treasures, they quickly gathered the elite armies of various tribes under their banner with a very lenient policy.

During the process of the Great Flame Empire unifying the Tianling Star Cluster, they used this method to sustain their war efforts, rapidly conquering and ruling each tribe and life planet.

Each tribe that was conquered and ruled only required a few months to a year for integration and training before they could send out large numbers of elite forces to join the Great Flame Empire.

Because of this, when the Great Flame Empire officially marched into the Undying Star System, they could mobilize nearly ten billion elite troops, ensuring that each life planet had at least two hundred thousand elite soldiers stationed.

For small-scale attacking armies, whether they can achieve a quick resolution is already a question of capability.

The strongest members of various tribes, who had foreseen this, determined that when they learned about Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire, the threat posed by them to the tribes is even greater than that which the human federation supported by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe poses.

And the facts have proven their judgment.

As the Great Flame Empire’s army rapidly occupied one life planet after another in the Undying Star System, the attacking armies lying in ambush around those life planets launched surprise attacks that all ended in failure; not a single one succeeded.

“Right now, we can only let the attacking forces in the Undying Star System continue to lie in wait and refrain from organizing and launching attacks,”

the Emperor of the Wind-Walking Tribe suggested.

“Otherwise, it would simply be a death wish.”

“But if we don’t do this, do we just allow the Great Flame Empire to quickly unify the entire Undying Star System?”

The Undying King was displeased.

The Great Flame Empire is completely different from the human federation.

If the Great Flame Empire fully occupies the Undying Star System, trying to reclaim it afterward would be nothing more than a foolish dream.

What’s more terrifying is that the Great Flame Empire continuously ignores the benefits of conquering each major life planet for abundant resources and treasures, taking not a single cent, while implementing the most lenient policies.

This policy is equally being enacted in the Undying Star System.

As time goes by, under the dual policies of the Great Flame Empire’s carrot and stick approach, the Undying Race on the occupied life planets will inevitably begin to accept the rule of the Great Flame Empire, with a great number of elites forming elite units to join the army of the Great Flame Empire.

If they wish to reclaim the Undying Star System, the difficulty will only increase.

Without a large population base, the Undying Race army, lacking troop reinforcements, will become increasingly smaller.

In contrast, that would not be the case for the human federation.

Because the average cultivation level of the human federation’s soldiers is too low.

Even if they wish to implement similar policies as the Great Flame Empire, using high-pressure tactics and enticing benefits to make the elite of the Undying Race surrender, they would not dare to let the elite soldiers of the Undying Race form an army to participate in the war.

Because once that army turns against them, it would deal a devastating blow to the human federation’s forces.

The Great Flame Empire does not have this concern.

Any army from any tribe that dares to rebel or turn against them can be swiftly suppressed and annihilated by the human army in a short time.

The Undying King, not wishing to lose the Undying Star System, strictly opposed the idea of the attacking armies from the Undying Star System abandoning their assaults.

“Relying on the attacking armies to stop the rapid expansion of the Great Flame Empire will not work.

This only leads to a death sentence.”

The Wind-Walking Emperor stated, “I think the only thing we can do now is to send the news to the human federation and see how they react.”

“The rapid expansion of the Great Flame Empire is also something the human federation cannot tolerate.

Perhaps we can force the human federation to find a way to suppress the expansion speed of the Great Flame Empire.”

The crowd of strongest members nodded in agreement.

If the human federation wants to suppress the expansion of the Great Flame Empire, it would be much easier.

They only need to dispatch one Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter after another to launch scattered attacks on the forces of the Great Flame Empire.

Even if Yi Chen can contend against the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters through some means, he definitely cannot manage to protect all of them simultaneously.

The real key lies in whether the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters will take action.

Because if Yi Chen truly has the means to counter the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters, it would be equivalent to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters doing so.

While it could deal a heavy blow to the Great Flame Empire, it would also mean that both Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire would face the danger of being taken down one by one.

Neither side would have it easy.
