Chapter 236: The Escape of the Soul
A terrifying aura continuously rose.
The body of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was completely enveloped in green light.
In space, he resembled a green star, emitting an unsettling glow and energy.
Over a hundred Soul Kings desperately fled.
Only the Soul Emperor had no way to retreat and had to choose to fight to the death.
Buzz!
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy gathered the energy from all his roots, branches, and green leaves; the attack, charged to its peak, finally reached its limit.
The green light transformed into streams of green starlight, shooting out in all directions.
Each beam of green starlight carried a destructive force capable of annihilating the world.
These green beams pierced through the void, frantically destroying all dark matter that stood in their way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless green beams crashed against the Soul Emperor’s defensive treasures, creating a deafening sound that spread through the energy particles acting as a transmission medium.
These defensive treasures were like thin steel plates in front of the green starlight.
They were continuously pierced through.
In just a moment, three of the top-tier defensive treasures were entirely destroyed by the green starlight.
A purple light burst from the Soul Emperor’s vertical eye, forming a purple energy shield around him that constantly repelled the green starlight.
In the distance, the over a hundred Soul Kings barely escaped the disaster, having retreated in time.
Although the green starlight was dense, the farther they got, the larger the coverage and the lower the density became.
With enough distance, the Soul Kings could successfully dodge the attacks of the green starlight with their speed and reflexes.
The outcome ultimately rested on the Soul Emperor.
Despite frantically gathering energy, the purple energy shield continued to fade and thin.
Both the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy and the Soul Emperor were now consumed by madness.
Both sides had bloodshot eyes.
The former desperately concentrated energy to maintain the bombardment of green starlight, aiming to pierce through the purple shield.
As long as he could severely injure the Soul Emperor, even with little energy left, he could easily break free.
The Soul Kings could not stop his escape.
Meanwhile, the Soul Emperor exerted all his strength to hold on.
He understood well that if he could withstand the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s strongest attack, with the support of over a hundred Soul Kings, victory would surely be in his grasp.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
As the purple energy shield thinned to the point of being as fragile as a cicada’s wing, ready to collapse at any moment,
the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was also at the end of his power.
The sky was filled with green starlight, gradually dimming, no longer as dazzling or powerful as before.
Bang!
The purple energy shield completely shattered.
However, the green starlight that struck the Soul Emperor only created shallow wounds on his body.
The physical defense of the Ninth Elder of the Three-Eyed Tribe was also quite remarkable.
Seeing that it was impossible to seriously injure the Soul Emperor, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was utterly disappointed. He immediately abandoned the attack and gathered his remaining energy to fly rapidly toward the distance.
"At all costs, stop him!"
The Soul Emperor was filled with soaring momentum.
Having successfully blocked this wave of attacks, victory was within reach.
The Soul Kings in the distance were even more excited.
Without hesitation, they surrounded the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy again, each relentlessly launching fierce attacks.
Various lightning bolts and flames rushed towards the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy once more.
"Our Tree-Dwelling Tribe is one of the most powerful races in the star cluster. If you dare to kill me, you will face a catastrophic disaster!"
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy roared angrily amidst the countless attacks.
But he received no response.
Whether it was the Soul Emperor or the over a hundred Soul Kings, they continued their frenzied assault.
They understood that, given the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s strength, which obviously exceeded the star cluster’s level, his status and background must be extraordinary.
Killing the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy could very well bring huge dangers.
But so what?
If they didn’t kill the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, the catastrophic disaster would only come faster.
By killing this Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy and seizing his body, the Soul Emperor, with his abilities and various treasures, could repair his own body and adapt to it, achieving nearly level 180 strength.
The Soul Clan’s return to power was just around the corner.
Even if a powerful race truly backed the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, and that race was willing to avenge them, at most they would only send a few incredibly strong members to wreak havoc.
Whether they would come, when they would arrive, and how powerful they would be was all unknown.
Even in the worst-case scenario, the Soul Clan could easily escape to other star clusters or even seek refuge with forces opposed to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
The choice was as simple as it could be.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heavily wounded Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy had very little energy left.
His mood plummeted to the lowest point.
Seeing no hope of escape, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy had to brace himself and make the most helpless choice.
An oval-shaped treasure flew out from within his body.
It spun and flew right in front of him.
Energy blasts shot toward his body.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
These energy attacks continuously pierced the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s body.
What is happening?
The Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings looked confused.
Why did this guy suddenly start attacking himself with a treasure?
Moreover, the power of this treasure was quite impressive.
In the next moment,
an energy entity that could not be seen with the naked eye suddenly flew out from the massive tree trunk and fled into the distance.
"This is his consciousness soul entity; don’t let him escape!"
The Soul Emperor reacted first.
He immediately understood why the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was using a treasure to attack his own body.
It was a tactic of misdirection.
Forcing them to block the treasure’s attack.
Normally, it would be a rare opportunity for the enemy to attack their own body.
But the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy was correct; the Soul Clan wanted his physical body.
Using the treasure to attack his own body forced the Soul Emperor to deal with the treasure’s assault.
Meanwhile, his consciousness could take the chance to escape.
With his strength realm, he could already condense an energy entity similar to Yi Chen’s soul.
As expected, the Soul Emperor did not pursue his soul directly; instead, he gathered what little energy he had left to block the treasure’s attack and find a way to destroy this powerful treasure.
The other Soul Kings, although born as energy entities, were only around level one hundred forty, yet their strength was even higher than the level one hundred sixty Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.
Unfortunately, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy had other treasures for protection and was incredibly fast.
Their mental attacks could slow down and injure the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul, but they could not intercept it.
They could only watch helplessly as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul fled away.
Boom!
On the other side, by the time the Soul Emperor broke the treasure, five or six minutes had already passed.
Within his sensing range, he had completely lost track of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul.
He felt a bit frustrated.
The true terror of the Soul Clan lay in their ability to perfectly merge with any host’s body.
After escaping, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul could also seek a new host to seize.
But it could only find a member of its own tribe, and the host’s body must fit with its soul.
Even so, it would need to start cultivating again.
Without special opportunities, it wouldn’t be possible to return to peak condition.
No matter how well they fit, they could never achieve perfect one-hundred percent compatibility.
The Soul Clan, however, was different. Their innate talent allowed them to occupy any living being’s body, directly retaining and enhancing that being’s original strength.
At the same time, they could continue the cultivation and improvement methods of that being, allowing the host’s strength realm to still be enhanced and even improved more quickly.
Right now, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul had escaped.
The Soul Emperor could not access the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s memories.
Without those memories, he could not learn the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s various attack methods and cultivation techniques.
He would need to spend a lot of time researching and observing the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s body movements to slowly figure out their attack methods and cultivation methods.
Plus, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s bodily injuries were severe and would require a lot of time to recover.
In the Soul Emperor’s eyes, this was certainly not the best outcome.
Fortunately, this battle was a victory, and he successfully obtained a powerful body with a strength realm of level one hundred sixty.
The Soul Emperor adjusted his mindset and immediately ordered the Soul Kings to bring the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s body back to the life planets.
He himself held onto a glimmer of hope, trying to search for and pursue the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy’s soul.
