Chapter 700: The Powerful Treasure in Hand

One hour, two hours, three hours…

Outside, the Time Tribe was still regrouping their forces, continuing to form a Sentinel team, and constantly searching for Marfa’s whereabouts.

Although this ambush had failed and Marfa had managed to escape, the entire Time Tribe was incredibly frustrated.

However, the two powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had successfully killed one of their own, which gave the Time Tribe a glimmer of hope.

Whether elders, strong fighters, or ordinary sentinels, all believed that if they found Marfa’s trace again, they would not let him escape.

Inside the core of the star, Yi Chen continuously absorbed Marfa’s luck.

Around the star, sentinels came by from time to time.

But the strongest among them was only level 210.

His Perception Ability could only penetrate the powerful treasure that shielded Marfa’s perception if he was very close, allowing him to sense Marfa’s presence.

Therefore, Marfa only needed to detect his presence to avoid him in advance.

As for the Shadow King’s hiding state, even if he was very close, the level 210 Time Tribe warrior could not sense him.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

Finally, the purple luck flowing into the Qi Sea suddenly turned into black luck.

Yi Chen immediately reversed the Luck Technique, sending the black luck back into Marfa’s body.

"Get ready for the attack!"

Yi Chen transmitted this to the Shadow King.

"Your Majesty, should I take you away from this area first?"

The Shadow King inquired.

"No need!"

Yi Chen shook his head.

Under normal circumstances, to avoid any accidents, if there were residual forces when the Shadow King targeted an attack, he would usually take him away first to find a safe place.

However, it was not suitable to do so now.

Because the surrounding star field was filled with the Time Tribe’s Sentinel teams, densely packed with sentinels of various levels.

There was no safe area at all.

It was better to stay close to the Shadow King and use his defense strength to withstand the impact of the residual forces.

Besides, Yi Chen was now at the first level of Golden Immortal, and his Shield of Protection had excellent defense; he was also within a flying treasure, which had a defensive formation.

Ordinary residual forces no longer posed a significant threat to him.

"Alright!"

The Shadow King immediately transmitted to Boses and Titan Bo, informing them to prepare.

Both of them were energized and incredibly excited.

This was about seizing a powerful treasure.

Even if the treasure did not belong to them, just the thought of it was exhilarating.

They each took out the immortal materials from the Space Stone that could temporarily enhance their attack and reaction abilities.

On the other side, Yi Chen gritted his teeth and consumed another one-tenth of the total luck he had.

"Prepare for action, the countdown begins!"

After receiving the notification from Boses and Titan Bo, confirming that there were no Sentinels nearby, the Shadow King immediately issued the attack order.

Then, they continued to approach Marfa until they were just one or two meters away before stopping.

At the moment the countdown ended,

Boses suddenly threw a punch at Marfa.

Simultaneously, Titan Bo activated his ability to control the laws of time.

Almost at the same instant, Marfa sensed the impending threat.

He was horrified and instinctively tried to maximize his defensive shield.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Titan Bo’s ability to manipulate time first enveloped him, causing his time flow to slow down by nearly half compared to the outside.

At that moment, Marfa was completely panicked.

He didn’t know whether to reinforce the strength of his defensive shield or to break free from the influence of the time laws, or even to activate the effect of the powerful treasure.

Theoretically, activating the effect of the powerful treasure would be the best choice, followed by reinforcing the defensive shield, and finally trying to dispel the influence of Titan Bo’s time-manipulating ability.

But in reality, none of it would work.

Because Boses’s punch had already struck him.

The terrifying energy instantly shattered the not-fully-activated defensive shield that Marfa had, directly destroying half of his dense root system.

In the blink of an eye, Titan Bo also landed a punch, shattering the remaining root system entirely.

Heavily injured, Marfa suffered relentless attacks and completely lost his ability to resist. Before he could react, Boses’s follow-up attack came rushing in.

In an instant, amid the continuous assault from Boses and Titan Bo, Marfa’s physical body and soul were reduced to fragments.

The Space Stone, various powerful treasures, including the one that radiated Colorful Light and possessed terrifying energy, all appeared.

The Shadow King quickly gathered everything into the Space Stone.

"Let’s go, hurry!"

After confirming through the Video Clip transmitted by the Shadow King that the powerful treasure was secured, Yi Chen immediately urged them to leave quickly.

The Shadow King didn’t dare to hesitate, quickly enveloping Boses and Titan Bo and departing at full speed.

Whether it was the Shadow King, Boses, Titan Bo, or Yi Chen, their heartbeats quickened.

They hardly had time to celebrate their acquisition of the powerful treasure.

Because they were certain that the energy unleashed when Boses and Titan Bo killed Marfa had been detected by the Time Tribe’s treasure that sensed energy fluctuations.

It wouldn’t be long before the surrounding Sentinels would swarm over to investigate the reason.

But what was truly serious was the energy released when Marfa was killed, leaving the powerful treasure without a master and returning it to a state of being unclaimed.

This energy was not only incredibly strong but also distinctly different from the energy of various tribes, making it hard not to suspect it was from a powerful treasure.

Thus, not only would the nearby Sentinels be on alert, but this entire star field could also quickly become a target for the Time Tribe’s blockade.

They had to escape this star field at full speed before the Time Tribe confirmed whether it was related to the powerful treasure and before they could seal off the entire area.

It was clear that even after expending thirty percent of his total luck, Yi Chen’s luck had dwindled significantly after obtaining the treasure.

Less than a minute after the Shadow King left at full speed, a group of Sentinels quickly arrived.

Leading them was a Time Tribe warrior at level 200.

But he immediately activated his ability to rewind time to investigate what had happened in the core of the star.

Scenes unfolded before his eyes.

Only a minute or two had passed, and soon the images of Marfa being killed by Boses and Titan Bo appeared before him.

In that moment, he was nearly overwhelmed with excitement.

Fortunately, he managed to maintain some composure.

After a few seconds to regain his calm, he quickly took out a communication stone and bypassed his direct superior to contact the senior officer above him, reporting that a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had been killed by a Boljin Tribe warrior and a Time Tribe warrior, and that the powerful treasure had been taken by the two.

The level 220 Time Tribe warrior who received the news immediately contacted the Second Elder in charge of this search.

"Taken by our Time Tribe and a Boljin Tribe warrior working together?"

The Second Elder furrowed his brow.

If the treasure were taken solely by a Time Tribe warrior, there would be no issue.

They could simply instruct the other party to return the powerful treasure, rewarding them accordingly after deducting the costs of this operation.

However, since a Boljin Tribe warrior was also involved, it meant he would also want a share.

Even after deducting the costs incurred by the Time Tribe, the profits were unimaginable.

As long as it was confirmed that the other party was loyal to the Time Tribe, sharing the profits with the Time Tribe warriors would not matter.

This would secure the Time Tribe’s interests without any loss, using substantial resources to elevate someone to the rank of an elder.

It would be beneficial for them.

But with a Boljin Tribe warrior involved, it meant massive resources would be needed to cultivate a level 240 warrior as well.

The Boljin Tribe’s leader was only level 240, so the costs could be easily imagined.
