Chapter 226: Encountering an Ambush
“Ninth Elder!”
As the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe stepped out, a group of people came forward to greet him.
Among them were the head of the Three-Eyed Tribe in the galaxy, some human traitors, and two envoys sent by Yuan Huo.
The Ninth Elder couldn’t help but take a longer look at the two envoys, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease rise within him.
Both envoys were humans, and their realms had reached the third level of the Heart Tribulation Stage.
In the human federation, only the top geniuses could break through to the third level of the Heart Tribulation Stage using various resources.
The top geniuses of the human federation were ranked higher than those of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
In the early stages, their training speed was no less impressive than Yi Chen’s.
Yuan Huo had dispatched two top geniuses to welcome him, showing great sincerity.
After all, there were only over five billion humans on the entire planet.
Such top geniuses definitely numbered fewer than a hundred, and even among the Federal Parliament or the Military, they were considered precious.
If it were not necessary, they would only provide vast resources for them to train hard, avoiding any waste of time wandering around.
Logically, even the top geniuses of the human federation, at the third level of the Heart Tribulation Stage, would rank around a level 53 fierce beast.
Even though the top geniuses, equipped with the Heaven-Slashing Technique and the Cloud Treading Technique, could challenge opponents of a higher level and would not be at a disadvantage against level 60 fierce beasts,
before the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe, they were merely two ants that could be eliminated with a wave of his hand.
There should be no reason for him to feel apprehensive.
Yet, for some reason, these two top geniuses sent to greet him did make him uneasy.
Yuan Huo, who in just a year had quietly taken control of this planet without the knowledge of the Federal Parliament and the Military, undoubtedly had some means and had obtained some extraordinary treasures.
The Ninth Elder remained calm, nodded slightly, and followed them into a flying vehicle.
The vehicle soared through the air, arriving at a large estate.
The actual ruler of this planet, Yuan Huo, was outside waiting with a group of his subordinates.
The Ninth Elder felt a growing sense of something being amiss.
His Perception Ability sensed many powerful presences within the estate.
By the rating of the Federation Military, these powerful presences were at least level 100, with many exceeding that level.
They were all diligently hiding their auras, making it difficult for the Ninth Elder’s Perception Ability to discern whether these presences over level 100 belonged to the strong from various tribes or were high-level fierce beasts using powerful treasures to enhance their aura and strength.
Theoretically, fierce beasts could not break through level 100.
This was also the reason why the Federation Military had classified level 100 as the maximum during their early development in the galaxy.
The human federation, following the Technology Path, did not realize that most life planets had birthed the will of heaven.
These wills of heaven varied in strength.
Weak ones only allowed the existence of life at level 100.
Overly powerful life forms would completely disrupt the entire ecosystem of the life planet.
Therefore, whenever a fierce beast reaches a critical point, it faces the heavenly punishment bestowed by the will of heaven.
In theory, no fierce beast can withstand this punishment.
If a fierce beast successfully endures the punishment, it can break free from the planet’s ecosystem and escape the control of the planet’s will of heaven.
With such an existence shielding them, a tribe could rapidly rise, giving birth to more beings that can break through to level 100.
Thus, a new race would come into being.
In this star cluster, nearly all tribes, big or small, have evolved in this way.
This illustrates just how difficult it is for fierce beasts to exceed level 100.
Humanity is the only exception.
Humanity is the only race in this star cluster that has evolved past becoming fierce beasts and has successfully withstood heavenly punishment.
The reason the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe felt something was off is that it is quite normal for Yuan Huo to possess some level 100 fierce beasts.
After all, the greatest genius in human history and indeed the most extraordinary in this star cluster created the Beast Taming Technique, a skill that instills fear in the entire Three-Eyed Tribe.
This skill enables all of humanity to command powerful fierce beasts, even when they are relatively weak.
However, if the power to control fierce beasts greatly exceeds one’s own, there are significant dangers involved.
But what Yuan Huo possesses are powerful entities exceeding level 100.
Entities over level 100 are either exceptionally high-level fierce beasts enhanced by special treasures or the strong from various tribes.
The former is less concerning, only proving that Yuan Huo has indeed obtained powerful treasures.
The latter, however, is quite worrisome.
If the strong from various tribes are gathered in Yuan Huo’s stronghold, it’s very likely that they are under his control.
If Yuan Huo had merely reached a cooperation agreement, they wouldn’t fail to welcome the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe upon his arrival.
If it’s the latter, it means that Yuan Huo might have treasures capable of controlling the strong from various tribes.
It also means that he, as a Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe, faces similar risks.
“Ninth Elder, please follow me to the conference room.”
Yuan Huo was direct, skipping the pleasantries.
He led the way, clearly intending to take the Ninth Elder to the conference room for important discussions.
“The collaboration can wait. Yuan Huo, can you take me to the control center of the Ground Defense Systems on this planet?”
No matter which possibility it is, the Ninth Elder thought it best to be cautious and spoke up,
“I have long admired the powerful technology of humanity.”
Yuan Huo furrowed his brows.
From the black stone on his chest, the voice of the Old Soul echoed:
“He has sensed something is wrong. In that case, let’s act directly!”
A glimmer of relief spread across Yuan Huo’s gloomy face.
Without any hesitation.
“Make your move!”
With a loud shout, the Cloud Treading Technique activated at full speed, and he instantly transformed into a blur, rushing into the distance.
There was indeed a problem.
The Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe was startled.
Without any hesitation, he instantly shifted back to his Three-Eyed Tribe form.
His size immediately grew to over twenty meters.
From his purple vertical eye, a beam of purple light shot towards Yuan Huo.
Despite Yuan Huo’s strength realm already reaching the eighth stage of Heart Tribulation, his power was equivalent to that of a fierce beast at over level 60.
How could he possibly escape this purple light?
In an instant, the purple light struck him.
This purple light was not an attack but a binding technique.
After hitting Yuan Huo, it immediately enveloped him.
However, the next second.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a bowl-shaped treasure in Yuan Huo’s Qi Sea automatically erupted with a powerful energy, shattering the binding of the purple light.
At the same time, powerful auras howled towards him.
More than twenty full-level fierce beasts and seven strong beings from the Angelic Tribe, Frost Tribe, Wind-Walking Tribe, and Devouring Tribe surged in from all sides, launching a fierce attack on the Ninth Elder.
“Ninth Elder!”
The head of the Intelligence Organization of the Three-Eyed Tribe in the Galaxy and his subordinates were dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what was happening.
“With this little power, do you think you can keep me here? Yuan Huo, you secretly control the strong from the four tribes, and you are declaring war against our entire Alliance of Angelic Beings!”
The Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe scolded coldly.
Upon seeing the warriors from the four tribes, he finally understood why he had felt something strange at the station.
The staff at the station had all had their consciousness erased.
They behaved normally, even looked normal, but their mental fluctuations were abnormal; they simply went about their tasks on autopilot.
The fierce beasts and strong beings from the four tribes in front of him were similarly stripped of their awareness.
The difference was that other consciousnesses were controlling their bodies.
If it weren’t for this, the strong from the four tribes would never attack him, an elder of their allied tribes.
He couldn’t comprehend what Yuan Huo was thinking.
The Alliance of Angelic Beings was locked in intense conflict with the human federation.
Logically, the enemy of my enemy should be my ally.
With the strength of the Alliance of Angelic Beings, they would surely support Yuan Huo’s rise with all their might.
Yet, Yuan Huo had exploited this mindset, luring the strong of various tribes to him and using special means to control them.
Now, he even sought to control the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe himself.
This was clearly setting up a mighty enemy for himself; it was anything but a wise move.
