Chapter 329: Breaking Through the Major Realm
The Shadow King saw Yi Chen’s disbelief.
If he were in Yi Chen’s position, he would feel the same way.
But it didn’t matter.
"Our Shadow Clan has a long history; we established our clan more than a billion years ago…"
The Shadow King used his Perception Ability to quickly transmit the history and development of the Shadow Clan, along with their position in the super star cluster, their troubles, and the reason he came to this star cluster, all in detail to Yi Chen.
This included how he had followed the powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Ketes, into the exile planet.
He even revealed that he could track Yi Chen’s approximate coordinates and had accompanied him to Tianling Star Cluster. He told Yi Chen everything, no detail omitted.
Even the innate abilities and characteristics of the Shadow Clan, as well as his thoughts during this time, were all laid bare.
The Shadow King had a simple idea.
That was to display all the sincerity he could offer right in front of Yi Chen.
He did not hide the fact that he wouldn’t mind being a lower-ranking subordinate rather than just an ally.
Yi Chen still found it hard to believe, yet he had no choice but to accept it.
Because according to the Shadow King, this strongest member of the Shadow Clan was even willing to take a gamble and entrust his life into Yi Chen’s hands.
"Just because you’ve guessed that my fortune is immense and my character suits being an ally, you’re willing to tie the entire Shadow Clan to me?"
Yi Chen’s expression was strange; he thought the Shadow King was insane.
If he were in that position, he would never make such a choice.
If he saw someone with immense fortune, with greater potential than his own, he would find a way, using his incredible strength, to make that person gradually become his subordinate.
"That’s because you have not experienced the pain of being the highest ruler of a race, powerless to stop it, watching helplessly as your entire clan is annihilated."
The Shadow King sighed. "You cannot feel the sorrow, desolation, and despair of being oppressed by incredibly strong entities, forced to struggle for survival, wandering, and living in fear."
"I think I can understand that," Yi Chen couldn’t help but retort, "Wasn’t I forced to endure and find a way to Tianling Star Cluster?"
"Not the same!"
The Shadow King slightly shook his head. "You only experience the feeling of being pressured by powerful entities, but you do not know the despair of being completely powerless. This kind of despair has lingered in my heart for thousands of years."
"It wasn’t until I followed Ketes to the Milky Way and accidentally discovered your incredible fortune, which could even shatter Ketes’ soul, that I saw a glimmer of hope."
"This is a thread of hope I must grasp!"
"If my clan is annihilated under my leadership, I am willing to pay any price for the faint hope of reviving the Shadow Clan."
Yi Chen fell silent.
He truly could not grasp the pain of being a ruler and helplessly watching his entire race perish.
Nor could he understand the despair of being oppressed by powerful entities, always without a solution.
He hoped deeply that he would never have to experience such pain and despair.
"If you are willing to entrust your life to me, then I agree to the alliance!"
Yi Chen did not hesitate at all: "You draft a contract first. After my main body breaks through to the new major realm, I will come back to initiate the Blood Pledge of Dominance and discuss further."
"How many years will that take? Knowing the time will help me make a trip to the human federation to find a way to acquire a batch of large battleships to bring the tribe members over."
The Shadow King asked.
"Half a day…"
Yi Chen was a bit doubtful, thinking that he and the Shadow King were not discussing the same matter.
"Alright! You’ve evolved into a higher life form, and your speed of breaking through major obstacles is incredibly astonishing…"
The Shadow King couldn’t help but want to bow down in worship.
The years he guessed were already based on Yi Chen’s explosive talent.
Yet, it was just half a day.
"Come, come, come, sit down… While you draft the contract, you can also tell me about the super star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe."
Yi Chen was very polite, taking out a set of tables and chairs along with tea utensils from his storage ring, inviting the Shadow King to sit down and chat.
"Will it affect your main body’s breakthrough?"
The Shadow King asked.
"It’s fine!"
Yi Chen shook his head. As long as there was nothing pressing, he would avoid multitasking and focus on his breakthrough.
Given his recent good fortune, having an impressive and sincere subordinate come from a great distance, he of course needed to show some attitude and sincerity.
"I’ve seen your Blood Pledge of Dominance; with my current strength realm, I could easily remove your control over my life and death. So, I might as well draft a related contract!"
The Shadow King nodded and said, "Regarding the contract, with your understanding and insight into the laws of heaven, you should be able to identify its effectiveness and any potential flaws. Once you create your own contract techniques in the future, you can come find me to sign a new one."
"Alright!"
Yi Chen had nothing to say.
Having such a thoughtful subordinate was indeed rare, making him feel a bit embarrassed and almost inclined to propose an equal alliance instead.
Fortunately, he had thick skin and held back his impulsive thoughts.
Having a powerful ally was certainly much better than having a powerful subordinate.
This was why he wanted the Shadow King to draft the contract first, rather than have both parties discuss and negotiate the terms of the contract before creating it.
By keeping all initiative in his hands, he could secure the greatest degree of control, which would be more beneficial for the rapid development of the Great Flame Kingdom in the future.
Matters of face were not worth mentioning.
As the Shadow King drafted the relevant contract, he shared information about the Tree-Dwelling Tribe with Yi Chen.
…
On Fengmang planet.
In the valley.
Yi Chen continued to operate the Chaos Technique, but the low-grade immortal stones placed beside him no longer released immortal power into his body.
The immortal power in his Qi Sea had reached a state of complete saturation and refinement.
He turned his attention to comprehending the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws.
In the sky, it seemed as if an invisible force was pulling at the floating clouds from all directions, causing them to gather towards the clear blue sky.
Lightly shimmering colors danced among the clouds.
Between heaven and earth, the glowing clouds shifted, and birds soared high.
All the beasts bowed their heads.
Unlike Yi Chen’s previous breakthrough, during which he trembled, they instead looked up with eyes full of endless anticipation.
They vaguely sensed that something good was about to happen.
“What is going on?”
The guards of the Black Tiger Tribe around the mountain peak looked at the strange phenomenon in the world, all filled with surprise.
Even the birds and beasts could sense that good fortune was coming, so naturally, they could too.
However, they were equally puzzled about what exactly was happening.
Could it be that some heavenly treasure was about to emerge?
At the Nika tribe.
The training Nika seemed to sense something.
His Perception Ability rapidly expanded.
His eyes widened in surprise.
“Is the master about to break through?”
He remembered that more than half a year ago, based on his master’s energy intensity, there were still two small realms to reach a higher major realm.
How could it be that in just half a blink of time, he had broken through two small realms and was even on the verge of a major breakthrough?
This kind of breakthrough to a major realm would normally require tens of thousands of years to comprehend the laws of heaven.
Suddenly, he realized.
The master’s training speed could not be measured by his own training speed.
He didn’t dare to let his thoughts wander further.
For a significant event like his master breaking through to a major realm, as a subordinate, how could he not be the first to arrive and congratulate, to make his presence and goodwill known?
He ended his training and soared into the sky, quickly heading to the valley outside.
His Perception Ability spread out.
What filled him with delight was that the gathering colors and glowing clouds contained the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws.
He immediately knelt on the ground, extending his Perception Ability to its limit, striving to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws within those shimmering colors and glowing clouds.
Buzz!
For about half an hour, the radiant light and glow covering a radius of ten thousand miles reached their peak and suddenly transformed into countless star-like lights, pouring down to the earth.
All living beings greedily absorbed the falling star-like lights.
Some wild beasts, with the help of the star-like lights, gradually formed crystals within their bodies.
The plants within ten thousand miles blossomed with exuberant vitality, rapidly growing.
In the valley,
Yi Chen opened his eyes.
He had successfully broken through!
