Chapter 233: Exceeding Expectations
Thirty full-level fierce beasts and seven strong individuals from various tribes gathered around the Soul Emperor.
"You all, use your treasures to attack from a distance. Do not approach," the Soul Emperor instructed with a grave expression.
Within these full-level fierce beasts and strong individuals from various tribes, there existed a Soul King level presence.
These Soul Kings each had a realm close to level one hundred forty.
However, they lacked powerful hosts.
When combined with the thirty full-level fierce beasts, they could enhance these beasts, reaching level one hundred, to gain about twenty levels of strength, resulting in around level one hundred twenty power.
When merged with strong individuals from various tribes between levels one hundred ten to one hundred twenty, they could boost their strength by about ten to fifteen levels, achieving a power level of around one hundred thirty.
All of this was still below the realm of the Soul Kings themselves.
Without these full-level fierce beasts and strong individuals from various tribes, the Soul Kings’ own power would be even weaker.
They might possess a level one hundred forty realm, but they only had some not-so-powerful mental attack methods.
Because of this, the Soul Emperor had to allow them to assist from a distance, fearing to let them engage directly in battle.
In front of powerful presences around level one hundred sixty, even the Soul Kings controlling the seven strong individuals would be easily defeated.
If they got too close, the Soul Kings could escape using the special abilities of the Soul Clan, but the physical bodies of their hosts would be destroyed.
The reason the Soul Clan was able to become the overlords of the galaxy and the most powerful race in this star cluster was their innate peculiar talent.
This talent allowed them to utilize the bodies of their hosts to unleash strength beyond their own realm.
Yet in the absence of a host, their power was far weaker than that of other races at the same level.
The strong hosts the Soul Clan currently held were few and precious; even losing one full-level fierce beast would cause them great distress.
The only one who could truly battle the newcomer was the Soul Emperor, who possessed the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe as a host.
Of course, the full-level fierce beasts and strong individuals from various tribes were not without value.
In fact, nearly one hundred Soul Kings, who had received notifications and were rapidly arriving from the black Small Stones on Yuan Huo’s chest, did not lack in potential either.
All of them were former top experts of the Soul Clan who once ruled the entire galaxy and dominated this star cluster.
They each possessed incredibly powerful treasures.
While their own power might not be great, their realms were sufficient to unleash the full might of these treasures.
"Activate barriers and Ground Defense Systems, and attack!"
Seeing the Soul Kings gathering, the Soul Emperor shot into the sky, leading the charge toward the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.
The Soul Kings followed closely behind.
With their strength, they were already capable of destroying an entire planet.
If a great battle erupted on this life planet and large-area attack methods were used, the entire planet would be left in ruins.
In the eyes of the Soul Clan, this life planet was their stronghold for resurgence, and the human geniuses on the planet were the future hosts they nurtured. They could not afford any mishaps.
Buzz!
The Soul Clan had not occupied this planet for long, but their strength was formidable. Months ago, they had used many Soul Kings and Soul Commanders to create a massive barrier across the planet’s surface.
With the Soul Emperor’s order, the barrier officially activated.
On the planet’s surface, the stratosphere of the atmosphere instantly formed a powerful energy shield.
Almost within ten seconds, the Ground Defense Systems, crafted with high technology by the human federation, also activated, and another incredible energy shield appeared at the top of the middle layer of the atmosphere.
"This calamity fruit seems much stronger than I expected…"
In space, as he sensed the Soul Emperor and the seven strong individuals from various tribes, along with thirty full-level fierce beasts breaking through the atmosphere, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy felt joy instead of alarm.
He did not know how this calamity fruit had managed to subdue so many strong individuals from various tribes, especially the strongest one, who surprisingly reached over level one hundred forty. In this star cluster, that being would undoubtedly be at the very top of the pyramid.
But the stronger the calamity fruit, the more merit and luck would be gained after the harvest.
"Wait a minute!"
A vague sense of crisis suddenly washed over him, causing his expression to grow serious.
He maximized his Perception Ability.
Only then did he notice that alongside these strong individuals from various tribes and full-level fierce beasts, there seemed to be some powerful energy entities lingering nearby.
With his Perception Ability, he could not pinpoint the exact locations of these energy entities, but he could estimate that each one was around level one hundred forty.
This was highly unusual.
To his knowledge, in the entire star cluster, only the top-ranked Ten-Armed Tribe, along with some rebellious forces, could boast over one hundred entities of around level one hundred forty.
Clearly, beings from other star clusters were involved.
"Why does this calamity fruit exceed my calculations?"
"The Federation of Humanity has learned the skills created by Yi Chen. At this stage, only those rare geniuses can forcibly break through the Heart Tribulation Stage. The calamity generated absolutely cannot lead to such a powerful calamity fruit."
"Unless some causal factors I do not know are involved… But what kind of cause could allow the calamity fruit to strengthen to over one hundred beings around level one hundred forty in such a short time?"
"Logically, such an incredible calamity fruit could only arise in this small star cluster after the extermination of a race with considerable strength and luck, caused by powerful beings who broke out of the ecosystem."
"Moreover, it must be linked to Yi Chen and the Federation of Humanity to potentially intertwine with their causality."
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy began to feel anxious.
This was his first encounter with such entangled causality.
After some hesitation, he still charged towards the Soul Clan.
He had to harvest this calamity fruit.
Otherwise, if he allowed the calamity fruit to grow unchecked, risking a significant crisis for the human federation, he would be entangled in causality and owe a tremendous debt to the Federation of Humanity.
Given the overall strength and upward momentum of the Federation of Humanity, even with his terrifying strength above level one hundred sixty, he could not withstand such a heavy debt of causality.
Of course, the most important thing was that over one hundred level one hundred forty strong beings could do little against him.
Moreover, these over one hundred strong beings were all energy entities without physical bodies.
Such existences were only powerful in terms of mental attacks.
Relatively speaking, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe feared mental attacks the least.
With his mind set, he charged forward.
The giant leaves surrounding him all emitted a green glow.
These green lights intertwined together, forming an energy shield around him that could block various types of attacks.
As the Soul Clan burst through the atmosphere and entered space, the distance between both sides continued to close.
"Attack!"
When they were less than one hundred kilometers apart, a purple light shot toward the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy from the Soul Emperor’s vertical eye.
The Soul Kings then began to surround the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy from all sides.
"Overestimating yourself!"
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy sneered with disdain.
One of his branches extended rapidly to intercept the purple light.
Leaves on the branch quickly spread out.
The entire branch transformed into an ever-lengthening green cylinder, with a diameter of over ten meters.
The center of the cylinder directly faced the purple light.
As the purple light entered the cylinder, its energy was continuously absorbed by the green leaves surrounding it.
After advancing just over one hundred meters, it was completely depleted.
Meanwhile, the branch extended into a cylinder that reached two to three thousand meters long.
The energy of that purple light was hardly worth mentioning.
"With such little power, you dare to come at me alone? You do not know how reckless you are!"
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy felt a surge of confidence.
He charged at full speed toward the Soul Emperor, and the cylindrical branch quickly contracted into a tree branch with a diameter of five to six meters.
When they were only two to three kilometers apart, the branch smashed down toward the Soul Emperor.
On the branch, over a thousand new, soft branches extended, as flexible as willow twigs.
These soft branches, like countless whips, struck or wrapped around the Soul Emperor.
As he faced the overwhelming and lightning-fast attack that darkened the sky, a slight smile appeared on the Soul Emperor’s lips.
From his purple vertical eye, another ray of purple light suddenly shot out.
This one had over a hundred times the power of the previous one.
