Chapter 664: The Confident Soul Emperor

Once they had moved far from the Large Battleship,

Bunier and Blake, the two powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe at level 220, began to take action.

They swiftly circled outwards, activating their Perception Ability to the maximum to search for the Shadow King’s presence.

At the same time, three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe started using items previously used by the Shadow King and the lingering aura he left behind to attempt to pinpoint his location.

The Shadow King, who had been closely following Bunier and Blake and was aware of their plans, took Yi Chen and headed to nearby life planets, teleporting to the life planet where the Soul Emperor was located.

This outcome further affirmed Bunier and Blake’s plan.

They immediately took action. Including Morris, along with nineteen powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they split into twenty teams, each taking hundreds of high-end combatants from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and headed towards the designated life planets.

The High-ranking Leaders of the human federation, along with the Tracker from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the other two beings, followed closely behind Bunier and Blake towards the life planet where the Soul Emperor currently resided.

Their speed was not fast.

They had to wait for the twenty strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to arrive before quickly reaching the life planet of the Soul Emperor.

This way, they could mislead the Shadow King and prevent the Soul Emperor from escaping in advance.

“Although this isn’t the best outcome, it’s still better than expected. Soul Emperor, are you sure that the Shadow Kings working together can defeat the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe?”

The Shadow King, who had been in hiding state before the spatial rift, still felt a bit uneasy.

“Don’t worry, there’s no problem at all!”

The Soul Emperor was already very confident, knowing that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had split into over twenty paths, with all their strong fighters scattered, including one level 210 strong fighter also leaving, making him even more confident than he had anticipated.

According to his plan, the first step was to eliminate the three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Only in this way could he proceed to the next step: luring the three level 210 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters to split into three paths and defeat them one by one.

In comparison, the first step was the most challenging.

Based on the information provided by the Shadow King, the three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had been closely following the two remaining level 210 strong fighters.

Wanting to take down the three skilled trackers right under the noses of the two level 210 strong fighters was not hard; the challenge was how to withdraw unharmed.

The only hope was to use the Soul Emperor as bait, tempting the two level 210 strong fighters to abandon the Main Group and rush towards him.

In this way, the Shadow Kings could launch a surprise attack with absolute assurance, quickly eliminating the three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and using the Shadow King’s stealth techniques to withdraw before the two level 210 strong fighters returned.

The risks were considerable.

First, the Soul Emperor’s Perception Ability was not as strong as that of the two level 210 strong fighters.

He relied entirely on the Shadow King to provide immediate information; any delay could lead to problems.

Second, the Soul Emperor had to quickly traverse the spatial rift to other life planets before the two level 210 strong fighters arrived, instantly destroying the spatial rift on that life planet to prevent them from catching up.

Third, the Soul Kings needed to resolve the situation swiftly, eliminating the three targets within the shortest time possible, including one level 200 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter.

Otherwise, if they dragged it out too long, even just one level 210 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter returning could mean the Shadow King might abandon all the Soul Kings and escape alone.

If that happened, the Shadow King could very well succeed in escaping.

Despite the risks, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Kings unanimously felt that the rewards outweighed the dangers.

Successfully eliminating the three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would cause the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces to completely lose track of their movements.

In turn, they could use the Shadow King’s tracking and searching techniques to locate another two hundred and ten level strong fighter and heavily injure and capture him first.

Once successful, the other two level 210 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters would be of little concern.

They could attack other teams as much as possible, capturing as many powerful beings as they could.

When all the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members regrouped, they would then find a way to force the two level 210 strong fighters to separate and defeat them one by one.

Even if they could not achieve this, it wouldn’t matter.

They would already have a level 210 strong fighter captured, and after the Soul Emperor spent a year or two merging with this powerful body, his strength would greatly increase.

Additionally, the Soul Kings controlled several level 200 bodies. Using the Shadow King’s stealth techniques, even if the two level 210 strong fighters reunited, they could still seriously injure one of them and easily escape using the Shadow King’s abilities.

A few days later, they could then launch an attack to heavily injure the other level 210 strong fighter, securing their victory and easily resolving all of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s issues.

“Then let’s bring out the Soul Kings and get ready!”

The Shadow King communicated clearly.

“Understood!”

The Soul Emperor would never suspect that although the Shadow King’s interests aligned with the Soul Clan, he was secretly deceiving him and the Soul Clan.

With a thought, over sixty Soul Kings flew out from the small black stone that had once allowed the Soul Clan to slumber through the darkest times of the galaxy.

These sixty Soul Kings controlled bodies from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, ranging from level 170 to level 180.

The Shadow King’s stealth techniques rapidly spread, instantly enveloping all the Soul Kings.

The Soul Emperor’s Perception Ability lost track of these Soul Kings in an instant.

The Shadow King quickly used his Perception Ability to continuously transmit the images around them to the sixty-plus Soul Kings.

“If there’s nothing else, I will head over to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe now!”

After exchanging greetings with the Soul Emperor, the Shadow King swiftly left.

Soon after, one of the Soul Kings poured his Perception Ability into the communication stone to contact the Soul Emperor.

“How is everything?”

The Soul Emperor immediately connected to the communication.

This was something he had already instructed, ensuring that the Soul Kings would contact him to confirm that nothing went wrong with the Shadow King.

Being bold yet meticulous was the way to progress.

With previous cooperation experiences and aligned interests, even though the Soul Emperor believed that the Shadow King wouldn’t do anything deceitful, he still wanted the Soul Kings to provide him with the Shadow King’s situation at all times for absolute assurance.

“Everything is normal! Just as the Shadow King said, he can use his Perception Ability to transmit the surrounding images and sounds to us,”

the Soul King explained.

“Very good, maintain the communication. If there’s anything unusual, notify me immediately!”

The Soul Emperor felt completely relieved.

“Understood!”

The Soul King replied and continued maintaining communication, but they did not exchange any more words.

Neither of them could imagine that within the Shadow King’s range of concealment, there were not only sixty-plus Soul Kings but also Yi Chen and his flying treasure.

After the Shadow King departed, Yi Chen did not leave on his own, but remained within the Shadow King’s stealth covering.

This was to ensure that if anything unexpected arose, he could use the Luck Technique to increase the success rate or enhance the Shadow King’s self-defense ability.

As long as the Shadow King stayed hidden, although the Soul Kings were close to Yi Chen, they could not sense his presence.

Moreover, Yi Chen was inside his flying treasure, which also had the ability to shield Perception Ability.

Without the Shadow King’s stealth techniques, only a being comparable to a level 200 strong fighter like the Soul Emperor could sense his flying treasure at close range.

Those Soul Kings could never guess that Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, was also with them.
