Chapter 357: The Generous Leader

“He… he isn’t trying to ambush me, he is trying to take my Space Stone?”

Morris’s body trembles violently.

The branches and huge green leaves sway wildly as if caught in a fierce storm.

Morris feels close to breaking down.

He regrets it deeply.

It’s all his fault for chatting with his subordinate while holding the Space Stone; he got a bit confused.

If he had sensed the Shadow King’s aura and remembered that the Shadow King was very fast, he would have chosen to strengthen his shield immediately and then tried to block.

With the Shadow King’s attacking ability, it would be impossible for him to break his shield instantly and also snatch the Space Stone from his hands.

“Damn Shadow King, I will kill you, I will grind your bones to dust!”

Morris is filled with uncontrollable rage.

He rapidly spreads out his Perception Ability to find where the Shadow King went.

Then he suddenly freezes.

With his speed, he is even a bit faster than the Shadow King.

His Perception Ability also far surpasses that of the Shadow King.

If he directly gives chase, he can close the distance between them.

With his strength, and considering that the Shadow King requires time to unleash his terrifying stealth abilities, staying close would not only allow him to regain the Space Stone but also kill the Shadow King, completely eliminating the potential threat that could keep him lingering in the galaxy for a long time.

Yet, he suddenly discovers the Space Stone is gone, and he becomes so consumed with regret and anger that he completely forgets to pursue the Shadow King.

By the time he comes back to his senses, the Shadow King has already escaped his range of perception.

Another mistake, and now he has made two fatal errors in a row.

How could this happen?

Morris feels a surge of chaotic energy rush to his head.

Poof…

Green blood sprays from his trunk like a torrential downpour.

This turbulent and violent energy causes not only internal injuries but almost drives him mad.

He is certain of one thing.

This star cluster is definitely incompatible with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Otherwise, how could two beings meant for dimensional strikes end up one dead and one injured?

Upon arriving here, everything seems to go wrong; tasks and benefits that should have been easy now have unforeseen complications.

In just one day, he carelessly made two major, low-level, and deadly mistakes.

Not only did he let the Shadow King escape, but he also lost the Space Stone.

Inside it was all his belongings.

Truly all his belongings.

Generally speaking, beings like them, who belong to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and have territories and influence, would never carry all their top resources and treasures with them.

After all, a wise rabbit has three burrows; if he were ever captured or his body destroyed, he would at least have some top resources and treasures to rely on.

But he brought everything.

He feared that if he left them in his territory, some of his subordinates might find a way to steal them.

In his territory, he did not know if he had any loyal subordinates, but at the very least, he could be sure he didn’t trust any of them.

Suddenly losing all his belongings to the Shadow King made him feel… for a moment, he even thought about giving up on life.

…

Meanwhile, after successfully obtaining the Space Stone, the Shadow King fled at full speed in the opposite direction of Yi Chen.

His heart raced to the extreme.

His nerves were tense to the limit.

He only knew to run with everything he had.

This was his only glimmer of hope.

But it was just a glimmer of hope.

He truly did not expect that with a sudden strike, he would successfully snatch the Space Stone from Morris.

Morris had made such a crude mistake, forgetting to take back the Space Stone even when knowing that the Shadow King was incredibly fast; instead of strengthening the shield’s defense first, he chose to intercept.

However, while he had the Space Stone, whether he could escape a disaster remained uncertain.

Once he released his stealth state and exposed his aura, he could not even defeat other beings of the same level from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, let alone those powerful beings from the Tribe who were two major realms above him.

Without external help, he would almost certainly face death.

If it weren’t for the oath he had already taken, which made him dare not hesitate or question Yi Chen’s orders, he would never have come out of his stealth state to snatch Morris’s Space Stone.

That kind of behavior was pure suicide.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…

After running at full speed for more than half an hour with only the thought of escape in his mind, the Shadow King finally came to his senses.

Where is he?

Where is Morris?

Logically, at this point, he should have been caught by now!

But within his range of perception, there was no trace of Morris at all.

The Shadow King felt confused.

Could it be that Morris made another low-level mistake, losing him even with a speed advantage?

The Shadow King’s expression became strange.

Is it truly such a wonderful feeling to have powerful luck?

Even reckless actions can turn misfortune into good fortune?

This is really amazing!

In his life, he has never felt so good.

He snatched the Space Stone from a powerful being of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who was two major realms above him and managed to escape the chase.

This is definitely the highlight of his life.

When he returns to the Shadow Clan, all the clan members will worship his greatness.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mindset, the Shadow King began to use his ability to conceal his presence.

Once he successfully entered stealth mode, he immediately sped toward Yi Chen’s direction.

After more than an hour, he finally arrived back beside Yi Chen.

"As you predicted, I snatched Morris’s Space Stone and successfully escaped his pursuit."

The Shadow King excitedly knelt on one knee, presenting the Space Stone in front of Yi Chen.

"These should be high-grade resources and treasures that I cannot even test, just keep them for yourself!"

Yi Chen waved his hand and ordered, "Take me to the Deserted Star with the teleportation array."

"Understood!"

The Shadow King agreed and led Yi Chen toward the Deserted Star while probing the Space Stone with his Perception Ability.

"Your Majesty, inside, there are not only high-grade resources and treasures but also many resources that suit your needs."

After scanning the contents of the Space Stone, the Shadow King couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise.

The resources and treasures inside far exceeded his expectations.

In addition to many high-grade resources, there were also plenty of mid to low-grade resources.

"Are there any Low-grade Immortal Stones?"

Yi Chen felt delighted and quickly asked.

"Yes, there are quite a few, enough for you to train to the next major realm without worrying about lacking training resources."

The Shadow King nodded.

"Gather the resources into a Space Stone and get them ready for me."

Yi Chen, thrilled, felt that two years of accumulated luck truly made a remarkable difference.

Not only did he successfully extract all of Morris’s luck without a sound, but he also gained a large amount of suitable resources and treasures.

Just the Low-grade Immortal Stones sufficient for him to break through to the next major realm was enough to excite him.

"Alright!"

The Shadow King immediately organized all the resources suitable for Yi Chen’s current realm, packed them neatly into a Space Stone, and handed it over to Yi Chen.

When Yi Chen received the Space Stone, he entered it with his divine consciousness.

Inside, there were not only piles of Low-grade Immortal Stones but also a vast amount of various resource materials.

Not only are there many varieties, but the quantity is also quite large.

This can definitely be called a great harvest.

"Extreme Heart Fruit! This Morris actually has Extreme Heart Fruit!"

The Shadow King couldn’t help but cry out in great joy.

"What is Extreme Heart Fruit?"

Yi Chen asked curiously.

"Extreme Heart Fruit is a supreme immortal fruit. After consuming it, you can greatly enhance your talent! Even within the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it is considered an extremely precious immortal fruit."

The Shadow King quickly took out the Extreme Heart Fruit and presented it to Yi Chen: "Wait until your strength realm reaches around level one hundred and fifty before consuming it, and your talent will definitely reach new heights."

"Will it enhance your talent?"

Yi Chen inquired.

"Yes!"

The Shadow King nodded; such a higher-grade immortal fruit could significantly boost his talent as well.

If it weren’t for its high value, Morris wouldn’t have neglected to consume it.

It must have been used to exchange for top treasures, greatly enhancing his strength or to elevate his talent limit.

"You should take it!"

Yi Chen calmly waved his hand.

No matter how much talent it might enhance, he didn’t find it appealing.

He only valued resources related to talent that were similar to Comprehension Stones, which could be used to create a Cave Paradise and accelerate understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.

"Me—me take it?"

The Shadow King was dumbfounded.

This boss is simply extravagantly generous.

An Extreme Heart Fruit, so precious that even in the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it would attract countless powerful beings to fight over it, is just being given to his subordinate like this?

"Yes!"

Yi Chen confirmed again.

The Shadow King was speechless.

He wanted nothing more than to kneel down and sing a song of praise to this boss.
