Heading to Sirius Island
After submitting his application, Lin Yan joined the elite Divine Spirit Squad, numbered 026-2648211.
Because the Lie Jin Squad's rest period would last for another six days, Lin Yan could only wait at the Barracks Base during this time, while listening to other team members share their experiences about the Outer Domain Battlefield.
With his privileges, he could access most of the information he needed. However, some detailed experiences regarding fighting, killing, and surviving on Outer Domain Battlefield were not included in the data available on the Virtual Universe Network.
These were all summaries of the veterans' own experiences over many years on the Outer Domain Battlefield. Lin Yan listened carefully to the veterans' accounts so that he would have a way to deal with the situation when he encountered it.
No matter how many trump cards he has to protect himself, he dares not become arrogant and complacent.
The mortality rate in the Outer Domain Battlefield exceeds 95%. Under such an extremely high mortality rate, it is as if a "Zerg King" is being created. A large number of ordinary World Master die, while many World Masters are tempered in the cruel and protracted war. The probability of breaking through to become Immortal God is naturally much higher.
In addition, there are many treasures to aid in the exchange of secret techniques, etc. This Outer Domain Battlefield is also known as the place where the most powerful people have been created by all of humanity.
The same applies to Alien Race.
On the battlefield... there are countless powerful Alien Races, and their methods of killing are unpredictable and bizarre. Immortal God lurk everywhere, and even Peak Feng Wang expert may perish. Lin Yan is far from having the right to be arrogant or careless.
In a large hall with a diameter of over 30,000 kilometers, the entire Lie Jin Squad gathered, ready to depart for the battlefield.
Inside the hall, spaceships were lined up in order, some with diameters of over a thousand meters and others with diameters of only a hundred meters.
The number of space warriors they can carry also varies; some spaceships can accommodate a million space warriors, while others can only accommodate a few powerful individuals.
"Let's go!" The Lord Lie Jin, clad in blood-red battle armor, exuded an astonishing aura. With a low shout, he swiftly retrieved an E9-class Spaceship shaped like a flying disc from his World Ring.
Wow!
The hatch opened.
Lord Lie Jin was the first to quickly board the spaceship through the hatch, followed closely by the others. Once the giant Ape-man Race "King Kong" was the last to board, the hatch was immediately closed.
A dense array of spaceships were seen parked in the assembly hall, then slowly flew forward and entered the passage one by one.
After entering the spaceship, Lord Lie Jin took the lead, his voice coming from the front. "Let's go to the lounge."
No one questioned it, and everyone followed suit.
The vice-captain, "Qian," walked beside Lin Yan. Considering that Lin Yan was just a new recruit and might not be aware of the reason, he smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised. The captain is clearly at the Peak Feng Hou, but he is riding E9-class spaceship. That's how it is in the Outer Domain Battlefield."
"After leaving the Barracks Base, there is always the possibility of a terrible attack from Alien Race. Spaceships can be considered completely expendable, so many powerful people spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years in the Outer Domain Battlefield, and usually order a large number of C-class spaceships at once to be used as cannon fodder."
"The captain also customized many E9-class spaceship of the same style, but only this lounge is made of F9-class metal, which can be directly installed in the reserved slot."
"If we encounter an attack from Alien Race, it can weaken the enemy's attack power and give us time to react. This is a way to control costs. Elite World Master teams, if they have enough resources, will also follow suit."
He smiled and said, "Of course, when real danger arises, we'll have to rely on the F9-class ship to escape."
Lin Yan nodded.
Someone with the strength of Lord Lie Jin can certainly afford F9-class ship, but this is Outer Domain Battlefield after all. Encountering a combined attack from World Master or similar situations can damage a spaceship. The repair and maintenance costs of F-class ship are very high, making it very uneconomical.
It's better to arrange it this way; if danger really arises, the F9-class ship can also play a certain role in saving lives in critical moments.
Moment.
Upon arriving at the rest area, the cabin was constructed from F9-class metal "Green Wave Iron Mother" and was about 20 meters in diameter, so even though there were several larger individuals in the group, it was still quite spacious.
"Xuanyuan, this is your first time entering the battlefield, and you haven't seen what the Barracks Base looks like yet. You can't miss this opportunity." Captain Lord Lie Jin smiled as he sat on the sofa, using his Immortal Divine Power to control the wine bottle and glasses, pouring ten glasses of delicious fruit wine in a row. The crystal-clear glasses floated in front of the ten people.
At the same time, he ordered, "Exterior scene simulation 100%".
Drop!
The spaceship's cabin structure seemed to vanish in an instant. Lin Yan only saw spaceships rapidly flying into the passageway in the vast hall. Soon, the spaceship carrying the Lie Jin Squad also flew into the passageway.
"Barracks Base... I've seen it for so many years, and it still feels incredibly impressive," Tian Gang said with anticipation and emotion.
Just a moment!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The gates along that straight corridor, stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers, fell and began to close tightly.
At the same time!
The outermost gates of the entire massive Barracks Base began to open; of the tens of thousands of passageways, only a few hundred gates were opened.
"Activate energy defense, spaceship, launch!" Captain Lord Lie Jin ordered.
The spaceship is controlled by AI, and the same AI can be commanded from the lounge.
"Whoosh!"
The spaceship instantly flew out of one of the passageways of the huge Barracks Base into the void. Immediately, Lin Yan could clearly see the huge Barracks Base floating in the void through the External Virtualization.
The entire war base was millions of kilometers in diameter! Larger than the sun!
The massive war base was completely covered by a layer of Colorful Energy Shield, containing mysterious and powerful solidification Law Secret Patterns. The mechanical cannons, each hundreds of kilometers in diameter, looked ferocious and terrifying. Observing it up close like this brought an unimaginable shock!
"It's spectacular!"
Even with Lin Yan's broad perspective, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Without a doubt, this is a perfect example of elevating the violent war machine to the level of "art"!
"This is a top-tier AAA Divine Base!" The Mental Master "Killing God" in his purplish-black battle armor had fanaticism in his eyes. "Every Barracks Base means absolute security. Even a powerful being like the Universe Country Lord wouldn't dare to destroy AAA Divine Base!"
"Look at those cannon muzzles. Most spaceships use energy beams, but the mechanical cannon muzzles of this Divine Base, though seemingly outdated, can instantly reduce the vast surrounding starry sky to nothingness, even if billions of powerful beings attack!"
Lin Yan smiled slightly.
More is better, bigger is better, caliber is justice, and turret is truth!
That's the allure of mechanical weapons.
Similarly... it was also incredibly luxurious.
Technological weapons that can be used at the level of Immortal God or above are extremely expensive; even F-class Laser Gun costs over 100 million Hun Yuan Unit.
Super-large group weapons like "Star Fortress" and "Divine Base" are incredibly expensive; even Universe Venerable couldn't afford such a top-tier Divine Base.
Inside the spaceship's lounge.
Lin Yan looked out at the empty space.
Although the spaceship was traveling at near-light speed, his eyesight still allowed him to clearly see the outside world, such as shattered Zerg Corpse, broken spaceship wreckage, and human remains, all floating in the void.
Some were directly struck by the spaceship.
"The Barracks Base is a haven for cosmic warriors. Once you leave the Barracks Base, this vast Cosmic Secret Realm, millions of light-years in diameter, becomes a battlefield... Xuanyuan, is it nervous to see such a scene for the first time?"
King Kong comfortably reclined on the sofa, swirled the wine in his glass, downed it in one gulp, and couldn't help but burp. He then casually hooked his right arm around Lin Yan's shoulder and asked.
"Of course, I'm ready to fight at any time," Lin Yan smiled.
What King Kong said was not an exaggeration. In the entire star field, apart from Barracks Base, everywhere else was a battlefield. Broken landmasses and the wreckage of large spaceships could very well be hiding Alien Race enemies.
The fact that bloody battles can occur at any moment and that one must be prepared to accept unknown dangers at any time is the most terrifying and cruel aspect of the Outer Domain Battlefield.
But the other team members couldn't tell he was nervous at all, judging from his calm demeanor.
This is a very rare situation.
After all, no matter how outstanding one is, within the Human territory, where is there a place as terrifying as the Outer Domain Battlefield? Entering the Outer Domain Battlefield for the first time, the thought of life-or-death battles that could occur at any moment makes it normal to be unable to calm down and even feel anxious.
Like when they first entered the Outer Domain Battlefield, the feeling that they might encounter battle at any moment... drove everyone to the brink of madness, which is what is known as "newcomer syndrome".
Generally, the initial goal is to let people relax by playing virtual games. Over time, they will naturally adapt. Those who cannot adapt die on the battlefield.
Little did they know...
Lin Yan had even faced assassination attempts from High-class Universe Venerable. As the saying goes, "skill breeds boldness," and he was already used to this kind of environment where threats were always present. Coupled with his broad vision and state of mind, how could he possibly be nervous?
"There's no rush to prepare for battle now."
Captain Lord Lie Jin Jinhou laughed heartily, "Because Xuanyuan is a newcomer and needs time to adjust, we'll go to 'Sirius Island' first. If things go well, we'll head to the Main Continent of the Yan Ji Continent, which is the most fiercely contested place among the many powerful warriors within the control area of Barracks Base 026!"
"We'll arrive at an area shortly, where there's no debris or trash, and we can accelerate freely for Cosmic Shuttle. Once we enter the Dark Universe, we'll have ten days to rest. Upon arrival at our destination, it will be a bloody battle."
The Cosmic Secret Realm is different from the normal cosmic sky. There is too much dust and debris, so a large area must be deliberately cleared out to eliminate any obstacles in order to accelerate the Cosmic Shuttle.
In the Seventh Starfield Battlefield, there are hundreds of millions of such Universe Shuttle Point.
Lord Lie Jin looked at Lin Yan and explained, "The Yan Ji Continent is divided into the Main Continent and many land fragments surrounding it. You can also see from the Starry Sky Map that the Main Continent is Yan Ji Continent Landmass 01, with a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years."
"The surrounding thousands of land fragments, such a vast land fragment, naturally have many powerful Alien Race races hiding there, making it a suitable battlefield for powerful races. Over the years, some have been designated as such. The Main Continent is naturally called the continent, while the surrounding land fragments are called 'islands'."
"The 'Sirius Island' I'm referring to is actually Yan Ji Continent Landmass 03," Lord Lie Jin laughed. "The Main Continent is teeming with powerful individuals. Every team has Feng Wang Immortal God, and even Feng Wang Immortal God. It's extremely dangerous. Many who feel their strength is insufficient... venture out to the islands. Sirius Island is a relatively large island, and it's rumored to have over 30 Feng Wang Immortal God, which is quite impressive."
Lin Yan nodded.
He knew perfectly well that with the strength of the "Lie Jin Squad," they must usually be roaming the Main Continent. But how dangerous was the Main Continent? All the powerful figures on the thousands of islands around it combined were not even a fraction of those on the Main Continent.
Lin Yan was still a new recruit, so of course he couldn't be so reckless.
That's why we decided to go to Sirius Island first. The main reason was to let Lin Yan experience some trials there, so that he could better adapt to the rhythm of the Outer Domain Battlefield and also have a basic understanding of Lin Yan's strength.
"Then we'll be able to witness Xuanyuan's strength," Yun Yue said with a light laugh.
Her fox-like, alluring eyes held a hint of affection, and her body, seated on the sofa, outlined an alluring curve.
"Just how strong is this guy who can be judged by the Virtual Universe System to be comparable to Feng Wang Immortal God?" The Mental Master "Killing God," clad in purple-black battle armor, had a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.
Everyone else was also very much looking forward to it.
Lin Yan simply smiled calmly.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The spaceship avoided some dangerous areas as much as possible, and soon arrived at the cleared area. However, even at such a short distance... Lin Yan could see the aftershocks of several powerful energy bombardments and explosions.
The other veterans remained outwardly calm, but they never let their guard down for a moment. They had spent countless years in this environment and had long since become accustomed to it.
After traveling in the Dark Universe for ten days, the spaceship arrived at the shuttle point near the Yan Ji Continent.
"Everyone be careful and don't be careless." In the rest hall, Captain Lord Lie Jin pointed to a void outside without any debris. "It will take the spaceship nearly six days to fly from this cleared area to reach the Yan Ji Continent. We may encounter Alien Race powerhouses here at any time, and battles may break out at any moment."
"Don't worry, Captain." King Kong laughed heartily, clenching his two fists, each as large as a giant iron hammer, and slamming them together. "We've been partners for so long, when have you ever seen us hold you back?"
"Bing He" then cast a cold glance at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.
This guy is really rude.
Qian moved swiftly, shielding Bing He and Lin Yan, and said to Lin Yan with a smile, "Xuanyuan, we're about to get ready for battle. Remember all the combat experience we shared with you before; it will be very useful in crucial moments."
As he spoke, he transmitted his voice through divine power.
"Before joining our team, Bing He was the captain of a World Master squad. However, he made a big mistake while training new recruits, resulting in heavy casualties among his former brothers-in-arms. Therefore, he lacks trust. Please don't mind him too much."
"Really, aren't all veterans once recruits?"
As the vice-captain, I still don't want conflicts to arise among the team members.
Lin Yan nodded.
This situation is not uncommon in Outer Domain Battlefield. Anyway, he and the other party are not very involved, and he doesn't care much about the other party's opinion.
Lord Lie Jin continued, "Although we have very advanced detection equipment and the probability of being ambushed is very low, we must not be careless. If someone has more advanced detection equipment than me, they may sneak up and launch a surprise attack!"
"Therefore, always be careful and vigilant."
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
The E9-class Spaceship cautiously advanced through the void at near-light speed. Floating debris, including corpses, shipwrecks, and weapon fragments, could be seen everywhere. The spaceship tried its best to avoid places where powerful individuals might be hiding.
Six days later.
The black flying saucer, which had been flying for a long time over the Outer Domain Battlefield, finally arrived at its destination.
Lord Lie Jin instructed, "100% External Virtualization."
Suddenly, the starry sky outside became clearly visible.
"The Yan Ji Continent." Lin Yan looked ahead. "We've finally arrived."
In the distant starry sky, there lies a vast and boundless continent. Beyond that continent, suspended in the starry sky, lie other equally large fragments of the continent.
