Chapter 817: Discovering the Invaders

“Next, we need to figure out how to use the Cracked Shell Tribe as bait to set an ambush and control the army and strong fighters of the Great Flame Empire.”

The Second Elder of the Time Tribe saw that everyone was in agreement and began discussing the details of the ambush against the strong fighters and army of the Great Flame Empire.

“Proceed with the plan regarding the Cracked Shell Tribe as originally determined. As for the other races, we will send elders to lie in wait near the strongholds of each tribe on the life planets, just waiting for results from the Cracked Shell Tribe.”

The Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe spoke.

This plan quickly gained the approval of all the elders.

Although they still needed to send out elders to act alone, their safety was tenfold or even a hundred times greater than going to the stronghold of the Great Flame Empire.

What these elders truly feared were not Yi Chen, the Shadow King, Boses, or Titan Bo.

What they feared were the strange barriers encountered by their elder teams that could create illusions, greatly affect Perception Ability, and be so close that nearby companions couldn’t even sense them.

The small and medium-sized races that the Great Flame Empire invaded naturally didn’t have such barriers, so there was not much to worry about.

In the eyes of these elders, even if they encountered Yi Chen and his strong fighter team alone, they believed they definitely had self-defense ability, even if they couldn’t win in battle.

Escaping would not be difficult at all.

Soon, the elder teams of the three races reached a consensus and finalized the details of the entire action plan.

They then began to put their plan into action.

The elder team of the three-tribe alliance started moving toward the territory of the Cracked Shell Tribe.

To the elder teams, the Cracked Shell Tribe would undoubtedly be the main battleground.

Most of the strong fighters and army of the Great Flame Empire would gather there.

In this situation, the elder teams of the three-tribe alliance also concentrated their efforts there to ensure the ambush was successful.

At the same time, many strong fighters began to break away from the Main Group, heading toward their specific target locations.

…

“It seems the elder team of the three-tribe alliance plans to take action while we launch the fourth round of expansion.”

After the elders of the three tribes contacted the leader of the Cracked Shell Tribe, the news was quickly relayed to Yi Chen through the Shadow King, who was hiding by the side of the Cracked Shell Tribe leader.

This made him feel a bit regretful.

He had just reached level 230.

After successfully refining various skills to their peak and harnessing the power of the treasured artifact, he felt that even against the leaders of the three tribes, his chances of winning would not be small.

But that was all.

The three-tribe alliance definitely had a large number of elders gathered together.

With his strength, he could simultaneously defeat three or four elders working together, but he couldn’t defeat dozens of elders teaming up.

If he could, he would have been able to turn the tables on the three-tribe elder team, making the strong fighters and army of the Great Flame Empire their bait, luring out the elder team and eliminating them all at once.

As for now, it was better to be cautious.

After pondering for a while, Yi Chen decided to observe the situation for the time being, focusing on facilitating the smooth progress of the fourth round of expansion for the Great Flame Empire and sabotaging the plans of the three-tribe elder team.

The former would allow his territory to grow significantly again, which would in turn boost his talent bonus and accelerate his training speed.

After disrupting the enemy’s plan, he would try to see if he could use the flying treasure or the Shadow King’s stealth techniques to keep up with them.

If he could keep up, he could easily siphon their luck away and completely eliminate them.

If he couldn’t, it was also fine.

Once his realm improved, he would have the confidence that even in a direct confrontation, he could deal with this group of elders.

For now, he needed to stay cautious against the elder team of the three-tribe alliance and prevent strong fighters from targeting the High-ranking Leaders of the Great Flame Empire.

Yi Chen’s divine consciousness began to activate at its maximum and most powerful level.

He had now reached level 230, and his divine consciousness covered a range of one trillion kilometers, which was about one thousand light years.

Even the leaders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe had no real significance in front of him.

His divine consciousness strength far exceeded that of the strongest members of dominant races like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and Time Tribe.

Not even the Shadow King’s stealth state could evade his divine consciousness perception; he could almost guarantee that any strong fighter approaching would not be able to hide as long as his divine consciousness was in its strongest monitoring state.

…

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

A Large Battleship suddenly appeared at the edge of the star system where the Great Flame Empire’s headquarters lay.

To avoid being detected by the scouts of the Great Flame Empire, the Large Battleship did not proceed further but stopped at the edge of the star system.

Upon receiving the notification, a team of twelve level 230 strong fighters flew out from the Large Battleship.

These twelve level 230 strong fighters were all powerful beings from various tribes outside the three races.

Some were the leaders or Great Elders of the three dominant vassal races, while others were elders from the three dominant races who personally visited their tribes, offering high rewards to successfully recruit strong fighters.

Their most notable feature was their expertise in stealth techniques.

Whether it was a racial talent or a surprising encounter that granted them such abilities, these fighters had incredibly strong stealth.

All twelve level 230 strong fighters entered their hiding states and sped toward the headquarters of the Great Flame Empire.

With their strength realm, they could cover a thousand miles in an instant.

In just one or two hours, they arrived near the life planet where the Great Flame Empire’s headquarters was located.

They began to slow their speed.

When they were still four or five hundred light years away from their destination, they cautiously stopped.

After entering a state of alert and defensive formation, they observed for over ten minutes, confirming that no enemies were approaching.

The twelve level 230 strong fighters all secretly sighed in relief.

One of them, who had the strongest stealth ability, walked out of the group and slowly advanced toward the life planet that housed the Great Flame Empire’s headquarters.

The other strong fighters remained behind to guard.

Three hundred light years, two hundred light years, one hundred light years…

Inside the flying treasure, Yi Chen, who was training, suddenly opened his eyes.

His divine consciousness faintly sensed an energy fluctuation suddenly entering within one hundred billion light years.

After carefully sensing again, as the energy fluctuation grew closer, Yi Chen finally confirmed that this energy fluctuation absolutely belonged to a strong fighter.

“This stealth ability is not much worse than the Shadow King’s…” Yi Chen quietly marveled.

In terms of innate abilities, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Some races have powerful talents, but their racial limits are not high.

There are very few races like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe, which possess both strong innate abilities and high racial limits, capable of giving birth to the strongest members.

Because of this, across the entire super star cluster, only the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and Reincarnation Tribe stand out as incredibly strong and far ahead of others.

In contrast, other races that have strong innate abilities often lack overall strength and high limits.

The Shadow Clan is the best example.

While their stealth talent may not be the strongest in the super star cluster, it definitely ranks among the top.

However, despite having such a remarkable ability, the Shadow Clan was easily eliminated by a vassal race of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The main reason lies in the fact that the Shadow King’s limit could only reach level 190.

It was only after following Yi Chen that the Shadow King advanced rapidly, breaking through his talent limit and reaching over level 220 now.

Before him, this powerful fighter who had stealthily approached not only reached level 230 but also possessed stealth skills that were not much inferior to the Shadow King’s, showing how incredibly strong he was.
