Lord Lie Jin
Barracks Base.
"Welcome, soldier." The waiter in the silver uniform greeted Lin Yan with a smile, then said, "Please come with me, I will take you to the residence of the Immortal God soldiers."
Lin Yan followed.
As the waiter led the way, he said, "The entire star field is a battlefield, and battles can break out anywhere. However, there are two types of battles: legion battles and Elite Squad battles."
"The legion, led by the Immortal God, wages war against other Alien Race legions. The Immortal God of the legion fight against Immortal God, the weak fight against the weak... Those elite World Master squads are also led by Immortal God, and their subordinates are basically World Lord General. A single squad can rival a legion!"
His voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"And those elite Divine Spirit Squad are led by Marquis Immortal Expert, or even King level Immortal, like sharp knives crisscrossing the Outer Domain Battlefield, stabbing into the hearts of Alien Race enemies!"
"The members of the Divine Spirit Squad, even if they are not Immortal God, are at least World Master super powerhouses who can rival ordinary Immortal God!"
He glanced at Lin Yan and explained, "These Elite Squad have more freedom. Unlike legions, they don't completely follow the military system's orders. Except for a few cases where the military system issues orders, the Elite Squad captains arrange combat missions on their own."
"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Yan nodded in thanks.
The waiter smiled slightly, and the two of them transformed into two streaks of light and flew away, quickly arriving at an area tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"The entertainment area is at the end of the left passage, with restaurants, parties, and other entertainment venues. Directly ahead are the living quarters for serving soldiers," the waiter said with a smile. "You should have already received the number for the accommodation assigned to you by the system. Just check in according to the number."
"As for entertainment... you can go to the left. If you want to go out to fight, follow this road. You are a new recruit, so just follow the veterans in the team."
Lin Yan nodded.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer." The waiter was very polite and then left.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, was gazing into the distance.
"Not bad," he praised.
Tens of thousands of kilometers ahead lie mountains, rivers, forests, snow, deserts, and more. This is the first-class accommodation in the Barracks Base, just like living on a planet for a vacation.
Immortal God are respected wherever they are, and it is quite easy for them to carve out this space in Barracks Base with a diameter of millions of kilometers.
However, the place of residence varies depending on the military merits and authority.
Lin Yan's authority is not high, so he only has an ordinary residence on land. However, the Feng Wang Immortal God have comfortable villas with large land areas. The most luxurious residences are... able to occupy an entire island or a mountain peak. Only those with extremely high military merits are qualified to live there, and they are generally at the Feng Wang level.
Lin Yan didn't rush to his residence. After thinking for a moment, he headed towards the passage on the left.
Moment.
We arrived at an elegantly decorated hall.
He looked around and then walked to a dining table.
Sitting at the dining table was a truly massive man, over three meters tall, with two blood-red horns on his forehead and some silver scales on his forehead. Even his bare arms had faint silver scales on them.
He was clad in strange, blood-red battle armor, and an invisible, surging aura of malevolence emanated from his body.
It is obvious that this is a powerful being from the Nakamon Race.
The Nakamon Race are a powerful race among the billions of human races, with a small population but extremely warlike nature.
That powerful being, radiating murderous aura, stood up abruptly, his golden eyes fixed on Lin Yan. Occasionally, the light that flashed from his eyes resembled two War Blades, making it impossible for anyone to look him directly in the eye.
He said in a low voice, "You... are Xuanyuan?"
"I have met Lord Lie Jin." The invisible baleful aura rushed over, but Lin Yan felt as if a gentle breeze was brushing against his face, completely unaware.
"Hmm?" Lord Lie Jin narrowed his eyes, clearly somewhat surprised.
Because he was recruiting new members for his Divine Spirit Squad, when he invited him to meet at the restaurant, Lord Lie Jin couldn't help but feel a sense of testing.
He had spent millions of years mingling in the Outer Domain Battlefield, engaging in all sorts of bloody battles, which was how he developed this surging, invisible aura of malevolence. Even some ordinary Marquis would be intimidated when facing him. Yet, this new Immortal God in front of him did not react to it at all.
Lord Lie Jin couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.
This is enough to show that the other party is outstanding in terms of consciousness and will, which is extremely rare.
"Haha..." Lord Lie Jin laughed loudly, looking at Lin Yan, "I am the captain of the Divine Spirit Squad No. 026-2648211. You can call me 'Captain Lie Jin' directly. Welcome to join our Lie Jin Squad!"
Lord Lie Jin declared, "In the entire Base 026, there are only a handful of Elite Squad more outstanding than our 'Lie Jin Squad.' Joining us will grant you greater military merits and a higher chance of surviving dangerous situations!"
"Xuanyuan," Lin Yan said with a smile, "I hope Captain Lie Jin will give me more guidance in the future."
The reason Lin Yan chose to join the other party's "Rending Gold" team was primarily because this Lord Lie Jin possessed Peak Feng Hou strength and ranked among the top in overall strength among the elite Divine Spirit Squad he could choose from.
There are many Elite Squad active within the Yan Ji Continent, but the Yan Ji Continent is divided into the Main Continent and thousands of islands. Teams led by ordinary King-level Immortal generally do not dare to go to the Main Continent, and instead stay in the "islands" formed by the thousands of continental fragments.
Secondly, it's because the only disciple of the True Yan King who was granted the King Rank, the "Bloodthirsty King," is one of the top three Super Existence in the Nakamon Race, and Lin Yan had met him once.
This Bloodthirsty King is Peak Feng Wang expert, and his reputation is even greater than that of his teacher, True Yan King. He is known for his Bloodthirsty Slaughter. Because of the relationship between True Yan King and Luo Feng, Lin Yan has a good impression of him, so he has a deeper impression of this "Lord Lie Jin" who also comes from the Nakamon Race.
"Haha..." Lord Lie Jin seemed very happy. His team was resting at the Barracks Base during this period, and when he learned that there were high-level recruits of Immortal God, he immediately decided to win them over.
Immortal God are extremely rare, and with the occasional sacrifice or retirement of team members, almost no Divine Spirit Squad can be at full strength.
He was naturally very happy to be able to successfully recruit the other party into his team, thus strengthening his team's capabilities.
Lord Lie Jin personally poured the wine. "Let's sit down, drink and chat, and I'll also introduce you to the other members of our team."
He turned his head and looked at a corner in the distance, transmitting his divine power. "Everyone come here."
Lin Yan just taken his seat.
Soon, eight figures approached from a distance.
Whether tall and imposing, cold and aloof, or alluring and beautiful, powerful auras of law rippled outwards, subtly distorting the surrounding space.
Among them were the Vajra Race ape-men, six meters tall, with faces covered in golden fur and fists as big as two giant iron hammers.
There were Haoshen Race dressed in black robes, with appearances that were ethereal and dreamlike, impossible to discern from any angle.
There were also members of the "Helie Winged Race," a branch of the Winged Human Race wings on their backs and Golden Eye like lightning... All eight of them came over, pulled out chairs at the same time, and sat around.
Ten people gathered.
It must be said that at the level of Immortal God, almost all of them are powerful races that originated from humans; ordinary races have never produced Immortal God.
"Let me introduce you," said Lord Lie Jin, pointing to Lin Yan with a smile. "This is our team's newest member, Xuanyuan."
"High-level Immortal Army Lord recruit? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. Impressive, brother!" the winged Immortal God Winged Human Race with a grin.
"I'm the vice-captain of the 'Lie Jin Squad,' you can call me 'Qian'!" He pointed to the wings behind him and said with a smile, "I'm even faster than the captain, so don't be afraid if you encounter any danger. I take good care of newcomers."
Lin Yan chuckled to himself.
The most prominent Winged Human Race is their incredible speed, especially in confined spaces where their ability to change direction makes it easier for them to leverage their advantage.
The "Feathered Race" of the King Tian Yu can actually be considered a type of Winged Human Race. If they appeared in the 1008 Universe Nations, their status would be similar to that of the "Yan Poluo race" to the Dragon Human Race.
However, for Lin Yan, who excels in all aspects, speed is still an undeniable strength, and the opponent probably... won't have the chance to take care of him, the "newcomer".
"Haha, before you joined, our team had nine people, including me. We were two short of full strength. I am at the Peak Feng Hou, and most of the other eight under my command are at the Immortal Army Lord Peak. 'Qian' is even comparable to the Initial Feng Hou Undying Body, but he doesn't have a title yet." Lord Lie Jin said with a hint of pride, "Qian's speed is indeed faster than mine."
"Initial Feng Hou?" Lin Yan glanced at the Winged Human Race immortal.
Once Immortal Army Lord Peak possesses an "Undying Body," they are granted the Initial Feng Hou, but this does not mean that reaching this level of strength will automatically result in a title.
Some powerful individuals are granted titles when they are enfeoffed Marquis or King Rank by some super-powerful forces on their side. Others are given titles by other powerful individuals based on some amazing deeds or achievements.
The latter, without a doubt, has more credibility.
"Xuanyuan, let me introduce you to the other veteran team members," said Captain Lord Lie Jin.
He then pointed to an Immortal God with a human-like physique and a height of about four meters. "Tian Gang, a powerful Immortal God warrior."
The Immortal God was covered in black scales, had a single horn on its forehead, and a tail covered in scales. It gave Lin Yan a simple and honest smile.
"Huan Feng, an excellent illusionist!"
Lord Lie Jin sighed, "Very few can withstand the Immortal Army Lord's illusions. You should also know that... the Haoshen Race is one of the human races most suitable for the path of illusionists."
The black-robed man, whose appearance was ethereal and difficult to discern, merely glanced at Lin Yan before quickly lowering his head.
During Lin Yan's Genius Battle, Galesi, known as the "Phantom Demon," was a member of the Haoshen Race.
Among human races, besides the Haoshen Race, there are also the Nightmare Woman Race and the Chimei Race, who are born with the ability to create illusions.
In fact, Earthling are more suited to the path of "illusionists" than they are.
After all, the so-called illusionary ability is only the surface of an illusionist; willpower and state of mind are the true foundation of an illusionist's strength!
However, the current Earth Human Lineage is only just beginning and has not yet reached the point of truly becoming famous throughout the universe.
"Bing He, Mental Master."
The handsome silver-haired man had a cold expression, giving off an unapproachable vibe, and his eyes remained completely unwavering.
"Yun Yue." Lord Lie Jin pointed to a slender and beautiful woman whose long hair shimmered with a clear luster and whose face was adorned with silver mystical patterns. "Because she is not strong in direct combat, she will not participate in highly dangerous battles. However, she is an extremely rare and powerful alchemist. The potions she concocts can threaten Immortal Divine Body. If she applies them to weapons and they solidify, when the weapons harm the enemy, the potions will corrode the enemy's Immortal Divine Body!"
The vice-captain, "Qian," then laughed and said, "The strong are mainly from three major schools: martial Mental Master Controller, and illusionists. Puppet Master, alchemists, Beast Tamer, and so on are extremely rare, especially alchemists... It's very difficult to achieve success in these fields."
"The potion concocted by Yun Yue poses a great threat to Immortal God who do not possess 'Undying Body'," Qian laughed. "The fact that we can obtain such a powerful potion at a price far lower than the army's exchange system has always been the envy of other teams!"
As they were talking.
The beautiful woman in the exquisite light silver armor looked at Lin Yan and smiled charmingly.
Compared to martial artists and Mental Master, who are purely combat personnel, pharmacists, in addition to combat, have superior support abilities. They can concoct potions with stable properties, whether they are offensive venoms or restorative potions, which can greatly help combat personnel.
Especially when facing Undying Body, whether it is forcibly Annihilation or the soul Destruction, the difficulty is extremely high. However, some extremely precious potions, once they are applied, can instantly erode and destroy the Undying Body.
Even though this pharmacist "Yun Yue" is not yet at the level to threaten "Undying Body," other Immortal God members, once they apply the potions she concocts to their weapons, are almost invincible in battles at the level of Immortal Army Lord.
In some dangerous battles, it is possible to minimize injuries and casualties among team members, so it is normal for others to envy what Qian said.
Lin Yan didn't seem particularly surprised by this.
Pharmacists are indeed rare, but his whole family are pharmacists... even he himself could be considered half a pharmacist. In Lin Yan's eyes, the other party's level, while rare, was not particularly strong.
In comparison, the toxins secreted by the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone were a major trump card that Lin Yan valued highly!
"King Kong has a somewhat eccentric personality, but it's obvious that he is a powerful martial artist."
The six-meter-tall Vajra Race ape-man was drinking directly from the bottle, thoroughly enjoying himself, when he heard this and grinned at Lin Yan.
"Killing God, haha... Isn't that title arrogant? He's also a Mental Master."
Wearing purplish-black battle armor, with blue scales on his right cheek, and with faint electric snakes flashing in his eyes, he exuded a sense of boiling battle intent... Clearly, he was an Immortal God who cultivated the Lightning Law.
"The last one, Jean, is also an illusionist with extremely powerful Soul Attack."
The female Immortal God, wearing a mask and with pointed ears, nodded slightly. She was rather petite and clearly not as outstanding as Yun Yue. At this moment, she looked at Lin Yan with a pair of green eyes, slightly curious.
Qian, Tian Gang, Huan Feng, Bing He, Yun Yue, King Kong, Killing God, and Qin are the eight members of this elite Divine Spirit Squad. All of them are Immortal God, and most of them are even at the Immortal Army Lord Peak. They have definitely survived thousands of battles.
At this moment—
"Xuanyuan".
A loud voice rang out, King Kong put down the wine bottle in his hand, looking like he was drinking very happily. He looked at Lin Yan curiously. "You just arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield and you're already High-level Immortal Army Lord. What's your Military Merit quota?"
"My Military Merit quota?" Lin Yan smiled slightly.
Every soldier on the Outer Domain Battlefield has a quota of Military Merit quota. They must accumulate enough military merits to gain "freedom". For example, a new recruit's Military Merit quota is 1 million. When a new recruit first arrives, he has no military merits. He accumulates military merits by killing on the battlefield.
Once the number reaches 1 million, soldiers will have the freedom to choose whether to "retire," "exchange for treasure," "continue fighting," or even fight alone, etc.
Before fulfilling their Military Merit quota, soldiers must obediently follow military orders.
Upon hearing King Kong's words, the rest of the Divine Spirit Squad looked over, even the Iceberg "Bing He" turned to look.
Lord Lie Jin Liejin laughed heartily, "Right, I forgot to ask earlier, what is your Military Merit quota? We can also get a better understanding of your approximate strength through this."
"Hmm... my Military Merit quota to 100 billion," Lin Yan said with a smile.
"Holy crap!" The Diamond Ape's body trembled, its eyes widening as it stared at Lin Yan. "You must be seeing things, right?"
Everyone else's pupils shrank, and they looked at Lin Yan as if they had seen a ghost. Even Lord Lie Jin looked astonished.
"Damn, 100 billion!"
"My God, 100 billion Military Merit quota, how are we supposed to achieve that?"
"This is outrageous!"
"Is our team's newcomer some kind of super freak? Otherwise, how could he possibly have 100 billion Military Merit quota?"
The members of the Lie Jin Squad were discussing amongst themselves.
The Mental Master known as the "Killing God" looked Lin Yan over and over again, appearing eager to challenge him.
Lord Lie Jin laughed heartily, "It seems our team has struck gold this time."
"You're a newcomer, so you might not be familiar with this." Lord Lie Jin looked at Lin Yan and sighed, "The saying goes, 'The more capable you are, the more you are rewarded.' The stronger you are, the higher your Military Merit quota will be. When new recruits join the Outer Domain Battlefield ... the Military Merit quota they are assigned actually accurately reflects their strength."
"The so-called authorization is just the most rudimentary assessment of strength, which is divided into 'ordinary World Master ', 'elite World Master ', and 'World Lord General'. This is a very vague assessment. The same is true for Immortal Army Lord, which are only divided into 'low-level Immortal Army Lord's and 'High-level Immortal Army Lord'."
Lord Lie Jin Liejin solemnly said, "The Military Merit quota of a Realm World Lord General are between 100 million and 1 billion, while the Military Merit quota of a low-level Immortal Army Lord are between 1 billion and 10 billion. If World Lord General is given Military Merit quota of 1 billion, it means that he has strength no weaker than that of an ordinary Immortal God."
"The High-level Immortal Army Lord is between 10 billion and 100 billion, while the Initial Feng Hou is between 100 billion and 1 trillion. Your Military Merit quota have reached the upper limit of 100 billion, which precisely shows that the Virtual Universe System determines that you are comparable to Feng Wang Immortal God!"
"It's not as simple as the Immortal Army Lord Peak being able to match the Initial Feng Hou in terms of combat power. It's because Marquis Undying Body, while you don't, yet you can still be comparable."
The other team members stared at Lin Yan in shock.
Immortal God recruits are rare to begin with, and Immortal Army Lord who can rival Marquis are unheard of.
The gap between Initial Feng Hou and Immortal Army Lord is actually greater than the gap between World Lord General and an ordinary Immortal God. This is because Undying Body Immortal Army Lord is invincible and can be killed by slightly burning Divine Power.
Tian Gang scratched his head and said honestly, "100 billion Military Merit quota. That would take killing a thousand ordinary Immortal God Alien Race of alien races to accumulate. For High-level Immortal Army Lord, it would take 100. No wonder Xuanyuan went straight to a battle zone like Yan Ji Continent as soon as he entered the Outer Domain Battlefield. It would be difficult to encounter so many Immortal God in other places."
"But we're here to help you, and we'll help you reach your Military Merit quota as soon as possible!" He seemed very friendly.
Defeating World Lord General solo will earn you 10 million military merits.
Killing a regular Immortal God solo earns 100 million military merits.
And so on, High-level Immortal Army Lord 1 billion military merits, Initial Feng Hou) requires 10 billion military merits, High-class Feng Hou 100 billion military merits... High-class Feng Wang) requires 100 trillion military merits, and Peak Feng Wang) requires 1000 trillion military merits!
In other words, a recruit must kill at least 10 opponents of similar strength to complete the Military Merit quota. Each life-or-death battle against someone no weaker than himself is a life-or-death experience for a new recruit, and this must be repeated at least 10 times.
"One hundred High-level Immortal Army Lord opponents, just thinking about it is terrifying." King Kong shrank his neck.
Who can guarantee they won't suffer an unexpected setback?
This is Outer Domain Battlefield, not a tournament. There are many influencing factors. The opponent might have exchanged some life-saving trump card. Moreover, if the battle drags on, it could easily attract other powerful Alien Races.
Lin Yan smiled instead, "It's alright."
A smile appeared on Lord Lie Jin's face, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. "Then next time we leave the base, we'll have to see just how strong our new team members really are."
The other team members were also looking at Lin Yan.
In places like the Outer Domain Battlefield, no one can say what kind of dangers they will face. The stronger the team, the higher their chances of survival will be.
"No problem," Lin Yan grinned.
The 100 billion Military Merit quota was actually low enough in his opinion. If it were lowered any further, his ordinary Immortal God status would not qualify him to join a team like the Lie Jin Squad.
The members of the Lie Jin Squad thought that Lin Yan had to kill 100 High-level Immortal Army Lord opponents, because they never thought that Lin Yan might kill Feng Wang Immortal God.
However, World Master Life and Death Hone of the Virtual Universe Company also placed requirements on Lin Yan.
The Chaos City Lord knew that he possessed Parasitic Plant Lifeform, and since the Soul Supreme Treasure and the Black Phoenix Armor were not given to him for nothing, the requirements for the Life and Death Hone were exceptionally high.
The requirement is—1000 trillion Military Merit quota!
Only by accumulating a staggering 1000 trillion military merits can one leave the Outer Domain Battlefield. This is Lin Yan's "Life and Death Hone"!
One is the requirement of the military, and the other is the requirement of the Virtual Universe Company's World Master to Life and Death Hone.
Furthermore, it is limited to completion by the main body. If you rely on the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone to cheat, even 1000 trillion Military Merit quota seems too low.
In this situation, the so-called "Undying Body" is not qualified to be an obstacle for Lin Yan, let alone complete the Life and Death Hone. The most reasonable way is to kill Peak Feng Wang expert!
6200 words. I can't add yesterday's chapter today, I'll do it tomorrow.
