The Great Genetic Era Chapter 2365  Two Major Tactics—Caution and Group Attack (2)

Yuan’s plan to sweep through the cosmos was, unfortunately, thwarted by Xu Tui, who inadvertently revealed the mastermind’s true intentions. Observing the shifts in Yuan’s mental fluctuations and his changing expressions, Xu Tui confirmed that his hypothesis was accurate.

Blue Star’s command had previously projected such a strategy: Yuan would infiltrate the solar system’s heart to assault Blue Star directly. However, the initial assessment was that such a gamble was ultimately futile.

What real value did invading Blue Star and slaughtering millions hold? Beyond mere catharsis, it offered no tactical advantage in the wider conflict. The genuine threats capable of harming Yuan were not stationed on the surface of Blue Star.

To his astonishment, seeing Yuan arrive outside the new moon with the full might of the Great Xi Clan confirmed only one grim possibility.

"Your deductions are sharp! But what does it matter? It is true that you aided Blue Star, propelling their power forward in leaps and bounds these last few years. They emerged from nothing to command a legion of Small Universe-levels. Yet, it remains meaningless! You cannot halt me. Even if my past injuries were grave, you are all destined to perish today. Xu Tui, submit to me!"

"I can grant you half the star field of the Spiritual Race and the Muyas! In the coming age, you shall be the second-most powerful entity beneath me!" Yuan hesitated, choosing to offer a recruitment plea rather than engage immediately.

"Submit?" Xu Tui offered a faint, icy smile and shook his head. "Do you know the two core principles I’ve adhered to while battling you, Chuling, and Hei Yang over these past two years?"

"And those would be?"

"Caution and containment."

"I can respect caution. But containment? You have seven warriors, I have six, and I can crush ten men at once. Surely, I should be the one dictating this conflict," Yuan scoffed.

Just as Yuan finished his retort, two additional auras pulsating with Small Universe-level energy erupted above the new moon. Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly, though his mocking smile persisted. "Blue Star’s growth exceeds my expectations. Nine Small Universe-levels in two years? Impressive. However..." Yuan shook his head dismissively, "I shall still dismantle you all!"

"No, no—there are far more than nine."

"Hmm?"

As confusion crossed his face, Xu Tui opened the gates to the Heavenly River Chessboard. Ullr surged out first, closely followed by Erera.

"Eleven..."

Before he could fully process the shift, two more experts of the Small Universe Realm emerged from the portal.

"Thirteen..."

One after another, powerful figures poured from the Heavenly River Chessboard, leaving Yuan silent and his expression darkening into a mask of frustration.

Eighteen! Including Qiao An, who had been brought into the fold, Blue Star now boasted 18 Small Universe-level powerhouses. Xu Tui had been selective, only bringing those he trusted to endure this caliber of warfare.

These 18 elites were not the only ones waiting to strike.

Wen Xinglun, Liu Kai, and a squad of ten lightning-type Nine Satellites supernatural beings held their positions at a distance. As the masters of kinetic destruction, their long-range dominance meant that even two such specialists could suppress a Small Universe practitioner.

With ten lightning-type specialists now on the field, each could effectively neutralize one of Yuan’s subordinates.

Yuan’s face turned livid. He realized his miscalculation was catastrophic and he cursed under his breath.

Caution and containment. Xu Tui had elevated these doctrines into a lethal art form. They prepared to overwhelm him with 18 Small Universe-level experts. Even before the first blow was struck, Yuan began weighing his chances of escape.

"Qiao An, what an utter disgrace to the Muyas you are. Your lord, Hei Yang, only recently fell, yet you’ve already crawled to the enemy’s side. Have you truly forgotten the source of your strength?" Yuan spat, his words intended to buy precious seconds.

But before he could finish his vitriol, the command to ‘kill’ echoed within the minds of his attackers. Xu Tui’s orders were absolute. Every participant launched their strike simultaneously. More than 13 Small Universe-level masters, spearheaded by Xu Tui, centered their combined willpower upon Yuan.

Xu Tui unleashed his full arsenal: the God Slaying Sword, the Demon Slaying Divine Lightning, and the crushing weight of his mind power reality force field all slammed into Yuan.

Thousands of blinding, brilliant orbs of ignition erupted in unison, illuminating the void like a celestial sun. Shielded by the chaotic energy shockwave, Yuan transformed into a streak of light, lunging directly at Li Zheng.

He perceived Li Zheng as the softest point in the encirclement, hoping to batter his way out through her. But the moment his strike descended, Li Qingping intercepted, taking the full brunt of the impact.

Yuan’s aggression vaporized against the golden radiance shielding Li Qingping, who only heaved breathlessly. At this juncture, Li Qingping had truly achieved the strength to contest Yuan head-on.

Yuan desperately led his remaining five subordinates, attempting to pierce the blockade. Every path was sealed. Li Qingping, Augustus, Ji Gui, and Miao Huanshan formed an impenetrable defensive net. No matter how many gaps Yuan identified, he failed to breach them.

After several desperate charges, Blue Star’s formation remained unbroken. In the process, however, one of Yuan’s own Small Universe-level followers was slain, and another lay critically wounded under the relentless, concentrated barrage.
