Chapter 250: Surrendering Without a Fight
Boom!
A terrifying flame surged forward, striking the exact spot where the flying treasure had been.
The world shook.
Flames powerful enough to destroy everything turned all in their path to ashes.
Even the earth, with its fire-resistant soil, was instantly evaporated before the raging fire.
Amid the loud noise,
the center of the entire forest appeared to be burned through.
Within a radius of a thousand meters, it quickly became a charred wasteland.
Even the ground was scorched, creating a massive pit over twenty meters deep.
Around it, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire forest.
The strongest blow from a full-level fierce beast had reached a level capable of destroying an entire forest.
More than ten kilometers away, at the gathering point of the Intelligence Organization, all the members were filled with shock and hurried towards this location.
“Country Lord!”
Inside the flying treasure, Bai Ruo Xin and the Little Gold Ball were startled.
“It’s fine; we just encountered an attack.”
Yi Chen calmly reassured Bai Ruo Xin and the Little Gold Ball while using his divine consciousness to order the approaching members of the Intelligence Organization to retreat.
Caw!
The firebird cried out loudly, trying to draw out the missing Yi Chen.
“Attack the members of the Intelligence Organization!”
Lie Bo was the first to react, targeting the vital points.
The firebird flapped its wings fiercely and flew toward the Intelligence Organization’s gathering point.
As Lie Bo had expected, Yi Chen could no longer hide.
Out of caution, his original thought was to test the firebird’s strength, see how powerful it was, and observe any special attack methods it possessed.
Then he would strike.
To Yi Chen, no matter how powerful one’s abilities or terrifying their luck, no enemy should be underestimated.
Especially with a foe like the firebird, whose aura was stronger than his own; even if its strength was less, it wouldn’t be too far off.
Unfortunately, they forced him to act quickly.
He had no choice but to skip the testing phase.
In an instant, he left the flying treasure.
The spiritual sword quietly appeared in his hand.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of Sword Energy howled forth, slashing toward the enormous body of the firebird.
At the same time, the Binding Immortal Rope shot out from the storage ring, coiling around Lie Bo, who was on the firebird.
Caw!
The firebird sensed the approaching Sword Energy.
It dared not take the hit; its massive body quickly turned, narrowly avoiding the attack.
It felt relieved inside.
It could sense that if struck by the Sword Energy, it would surely be badly injured.
Above, Lie Bo had given up his cultivation and could no longer practice skills like the Chaos Technique, leaving him only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
He didn’t even know what was happening when the Binding Immortal Rope began wrapping around him.
However, he was not completely unprepared.
His plan to infiltrate heavy criminals to assassinate Yi Chen on the exile planet had been thoroughly considered.
Naturally, he had anticipated that lacking any strength was his greatest weakness.
Buzz!
A red light flickered.
A gem on his chest burst with a red glow, forming an energy shield twenty centimeters around him.
It successfully blocked the Binding Immortal Rope from getting closer.
Yi Chen remained calm and waved his hand.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers flew out.
A terrifying pull locked onto the firebird.
The wind roared.
That pull was immensely powerful, even from over ten kilometers away.
Caw caw…
The firebird was horrified.
It flapped its strong wings with all its might, trying to resist the force and create distance.
Swish swish swish…
In the distance, Yi Chen unleashed more streams of Sword Energy toward the firebird.
Struggling against the pull, the firebird had no energy left to dodge the Sword Energy.
It could only watch helplessly as the Sword Energy closed in.
It hoped that these attacks would be less powerful than it had feared.
Sizzle…
It was clear that it was disappointed.
The Sword Energy struck its body, leaving deep wounds that exposed bone all around it.
The intense pain made the firebird cry out in anguish, completely losing its resistance to the pull.
Its massive body uncontrollably flew toward the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Yi Chen then withdrew the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Now, the Map of Mountains and Rivers had no offensive capability but could imprison a powerful fierce beast like the firebird.
Even heavily injured and struggling for its life, it could still damage the internal landscape.
More Sword Energy slashed toward the firebird.
Even without the pull from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the firebird could no longer dodge these attacks.
Yi Chen had no intention of sparing its life.
If this powerful fierce beast were controlled by the four armies using accompanying spirit mines and the Beast Taming Technique, it would surely become even stronger.
However, Yi Chen did not know that there were no relatives of Lie Bo on the exile planet.
In his eyes, the firebird was already under Lie Bo’s control through special means.
Even if their connection were severed, he couldn’t guarantee that Lie Bo’s kin wouldn’t use the same method to regain control.
Since that was the case, it was better to kill it to eliminate future troubles.
Under the intense attacks of Sword Energy, the firebird’s cries of pain grew weaker.
Its massive body crashed to the ground, completely devoid of life.
On its back, Lie Bo ignored the Binding Immortal Rope still pressing against the energy shield.
His gaze was hollow, and his face showed extreme discomfort.
The mission had failed.
And it was a complete failure without suspense.
This outcome was a world apart from his expectations.
He had always believed that, no matter how incredibly fast Yi Chen’s strength realm improved, he still couldn’t match a full-level fierce beast.
His biggest concern had always been how to handle Yi Chen escaping with his speed advantage.
However, the result was that the full-level fierce beast was no match for Yi Chen, unable to even make a splash.
After more than five years of painstaking planning, this was the outcome he received.
A strong sense of unwillingness surged within Lie Bo.
When his hollow gaze shifted to Yi Chen, it sparkled with endless resentment.
Such a terrifying genius, if allowed to develop, would surely bring about a catastrophic disaster for all Angelic Beings in due time.
But soon, a deep sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
What difference would it make to know that?
In the early stages, no one knew that this was the greatest genius in human history, who would grow to such a level while still not reaching his limits.
This completely overturned the knowledge of the strong from all races in the star cluster.
With the strong blockade of the human federation, during that period, it was impossible for the powerful beings of various tribes to risk their lives and travel to the exile planet to kill Yi Chen.
Now, even if powerful beings were willing to take risks for the future of their tribes and personally come to kill Yi Chen, it might already be too late.
Even if the human federation could not intercept the powerful beings in the cosmic storm zone, they could notify Yi Chen in advance.
With Yi Chen’s current strength realm, all he had to do was find a planet to hide in the vast space and easily wait for support from the human federation.
This was the Milky Way, the territory of the human federation.
Even if the powerful beings of various tribes joined forces, they would face significant risks, and if the human federation mobilized a large army to encircle them, they could end up completely annihilated.
This greatest genius in human history, with his incomprehensible talent, was nearing a level where no force could suppress him.
Lie Bo, feeling disheartened, glanced at the Binding Immortal Rope and voluntarily shut down the treasure’s shield, letting the Binding Immortal Rope bind him.
He understood clearly that in this situation, death was the best choice.
Being captured would surely involve severe torture.
But he still wanted to survive.
He wanted to live until the day the human federation brought destruction upon itself.
According to his reasoning, if this greatest genius in human history were to break through the greatest challenges and successfully withstand the heavenly punishment, he would inevitably aim for the vast starry sky with ambitious aspirations after encountering a bottleneck in his development.
The Angelic Beings would have a tough time, and the human federation would not fare much better.
In his view, the biggest mistake the human federation made was not decisively giving up most of their interests and confronting Yi Chen during his early days.
The earlier they confronted him, the higher the chance of obtaining Yi Chen’s understanding.
Even though after that, to be cautious, the human federation would need to spend a significant amount of time verifying whether the skills Yi Chen created had traps or hidden dangers.
The development speed of the human federation would surely not be as fast as it is now, but at least they wouldn’t be at odds with Yi Chen.
In fact, they could likely persuade Yi Chen to accept the human federation and join their ranks.
Like the various tribes, the human federation also made a misjudgment.
No one anticipated that Yi Chen’s talent would grow so powerful in just a few years, reaching such a height without even approaching his limits.
As a result, they dragged it out to the present, where the chances of obtaining Yi Chen’s understanding became lower and lower, and the likelihood of enmity grew higher and higher.
When the day comes that Yi Chen becomes so powerful that the human federation cannot contain him, if they seek reconciliation, given Yi Chen’s character, there’s no need to guess what his choice would be.
Of course, no matter how keen and forward-looking Lie Bo was, he could not have predicted that the Federal Parliament had prepared in advance long before Yi Chen’s rise.
With the advantage of ultra-long-distance transportation, they had found a more powerful and suitable tribe to ally with beyond the star cluster.
Conversely, as the human federation learned from the skills created by Yi Chen, their average strength level would continue to rise, leading to an increasing amount of calamity.
For now, both sides still remained in a state of mutual balance.
What could truly break the balance was not whether Yi Chen could successfully overcome the heavenly punishment.
Rather, it was whether the new skills Yi Chen was currently creating could successfully come to fruition.
