Chapter 577: Powerful Being from the Ka Yue Tribe

“Your Majesty, it seems the other party is coming towards the Large Battleship with ill intentions. Should I go negotiate?”

Mares looked at Yi Chen.

“Go ahead!”

Yi Chen nodded.

Mares immediately flew out of the flying treasure, racing toward the towering cylindrical flying treasure that reached over a thousand meters to intercept it.

A powerful aura continuously radiated from him, trying to intimidate the cylindrical flying treasure.

However, this cylindrical flying treasure, upon sensing Mares’ aura, continued to fly toward the Large Battleship.

“Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit troublesome. The other party is even unshaken by Mares, a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe. If things go south, I may need to take you away while Mares holds them off,” the Shadow King communicated to Yi Chen.

Yi Chen nodded, quickly extending his divine consciousness to find the Captain of the Large Battleship and directly ordered him to stop moving forward.

The Large Battleship soon slowed down until it came to a complete stop.

“Shadow King, come out with me!”

With a thought, Yi Chen instantly left the flying treasure and appeared in outer space outside the Large Battleship.

The Shadow King quickly followed, appearing in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, the Map of Mountains and Rivers flew out, engulfing the entire Large Battleship.

The Shadow King then used the stealth technique to cover Yi Chen as well.

“First, let’s head in the opposite direction and use the communication stone to contact Mares and ask about the situation,” Yi Chen instructed.

“Understood!”

As the Shadow King sped away, he took out the communication stone to contact Mares for information.

On the other side, sensing the sudden disappearance of the Large Battleship, the cylindrical flying treasure suddenly accelerated, attempting to bypass Mares and head toward the location where the Large Battleship vanished.

“I want to see what you are up to, ignoring me completely!”

Mares felt a mix of fury and fear.

It was normal for the Ka Yue Tribe and the Time Tribe to look down on the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

However, he was a level 200 strong being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and had no reason to engage in conflict, even if it was a strong member of the Time Tribe.

Being disregarded likely meant that the Ka Yue Tribe in that flying treasure had the power to crush him.

Under normal circumstances, he would dodge as far as possible.

After all, this place was far from the Tree Star Cluster.

In the Tree Star Cluster and surrounding areas, as a strong being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, he could walk unchallenged.

Even when facing enemy races with a stronger strength realm, he felt no fear.

Because he could call for help.

If he encountered an accident, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would never allow their strong fighters to be killed on their own territory or surrounding areas; they would definitely hunt the enemy down with all their might.

However, in a place so far from the Tree Star Cluster, the opponents might indeed outmatch him in strength realm, so he would prefer to avoid them.

But now, he could not avoid them.

Having signed a life-and-death contract with the Shadow King, if he found himself in danger and did not intercept or resist the enemy, the Shadow King could easily use the contract to kill him.

Mares’ speed was clearly faster than that of the cylindrical flying treasure, and he soon positioned himself in front of the flying treasure once more.

The flying treasure came to a halt.

A figure flew out from within.

It was indeed from the Ka Yue Tribe.

Standing a hundred meters tall, his body was covered in silver-gray scales, with two slender antennae on his head.

His aura was fierce, rivaling Mares’ without any hesitation.

Mares felt relieved.

At the same level, he was confident that he would not lose to the majority of the strong fighters from the Ka Yue Tribe.

Even if the Ka Yue Tribe called for a strong member of the Time Tribe, he realized the situation was turning against them, and he could escape in advance.

Without any hesitation, he quickly informed the Shadow King of the situation through the communication stone.

The Shadow King also sighed in relief, transmitting the situation to Yi Chen.

“In that case, let’s go right in and drain them!”

Yi Chen felt reassured.

“However…”

The Shadow King hesitated, explaining, “If it’s only one strong fighter from the Ka Yue Tribe, as long as he is not one of their top geniuses, with Mares’ strength, he can probably defeat or even kill him.”

“The main problem lies in the Ka Yue Tribe’s dependence on the Time Tribe, as many from the Ka Yue Tribe have signed collaboration contracts with them.”

“Those without territories in the Ka Yue Tribe actually resemble the Swift Tribe from the Tianling Star Cluster, surviving through plunder. However, half of the resources and treasures they acquire are given to the Time Tribe in exchange for protection.”

“Similarly, many from the Ka Yue Tribe will also split half of the resources and treasures they offer to their own tribe with the Time Tribe to gain their support.”

“Generally, the Ka Yue Tribe seeks out Time Tribe members that are one major realm higher than themselves for collaboration contracts.”

“Right now, this Ka Yue Tribe strong fighter is around level 200, which likely means that the Time Tribe he has contracted with could be level 210.”

“Now I see!”

Yi Chen understood the Shadow King’s concerns.

He did not know much about the Ka Yue Tribe, but he had read relevant information about the Time Tribe from the Shadow Clan’s archives.

He understood that the Time Tribe had extraordinary talent regarding the laws of time.

In fact, many strong fighters from the Time Tribe possessed the ability to manipulate time.

Among the various time manipulation abilities, one of the most commonly used methods is to reverse time to the last moment friends encountered each other or when faced with a crisis, allowing them to appear beside their friends regardless of the distance, or bringing their friends to them.

This ability is very similar to the power of the laws of space, but it actually utilizes the laws of time.

The effects of both are similar, but their principles differ.

If the strong fighter from the Ka Yue Tribe could indeed summon a level 210 Time Tribe warrior, then it was clear that Mares would have only one option: to escape.

Moreover, he needed to escape before the Time Tribe warrior arrived, as soon as he noticed the action.

“With your stealth technique, even a level 210 Time Tribe warrior should not be able to sense you, right?” Yi Chen inquired.

“The Perception Ability of the Time Tribe is slightly weaker than that of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe. As long as the opponent is not a genius who can defeat foes a level higher or someone with special talents in perception abilities, it should be fine.”

The Shadow King knew Yi Chen was reluctant to leave but still spoke honestly.

“In that case, let’s go take a look!”

Just as the Shadow King had predicted, even knowing a level 210 Time Tribe fighter might come, Yi Chen was still unwilling to shy away from the risk.

His thoughts differed from those of the Shadow King.

The Shadow King wanted to ensure safety as much as possible and was unwilling to take even the slightest risk.

In his view, the risk was minimal and certainly not worth worrying about.

Meanwhile, the benefits were significant.

Having just arrived in the super star cluster and already facing trouble, the super star cluster was undoubtedly more dangerous than he had anticipated.

Given this, he naturally needed to gather as much fortune as possible for future needs.

Directly extracting fortune from powerful fighters was the fastest way to accumulate it, far quicker than slowly drawing it from the principles of heaven and earth.

With the risk being minimal, he certainly did not want to miss this opportunity to gather fortune.
