Ninth Battlefield

After everything was done, thousands of warriors followed the Ape-man Immortal God and Lian Luo into a massive hall. The hall was over a thousand miles in diameter, and within it were eleven enormous spatial passages resembling water screens.

"These are the spatial passages to the Ninth Battlefield," the Ape-man Immortal God said, walking up to one of the water screens. "The Ninth Battlefield is a Cosmic Secret Realm with a maximum diameter of about one million light-years. Of course, after eons of slaughter, the inherent dangers of this Cosmic Secret Realm have been greatly reduced. The primary threat comes from alien races. There are ninety-eight Barracks Bases in the Ninth Battlefield, and you are being teleported to Base 076."

This water screen was a full kilometer wide and a kilometer tall.

Splash!

Lian Luo looked at the water screen, said nothing more, and stepped directly into it.

Which Outer Domain Battlefield one was teleported to was determined by sequence. For example, if this time it was the Ninth Battlefield, the next would be the Tenth Battlefield, then the Eleventh, and so on, in a repeating cycle.

Even he, a distinguished Marquis Immortal, could not arbitrarily choose which battlefield to go to!

After Lian Luo, the World Lords, Domain Lords, and Universe Level warriors also entered one by one, and soon all of them had gone through.

Using the Divine Kingdom as a transit point, Lian Luo and the thousand-plus soldiers arrived at the Divine Kingdom transit station and entered another spatial passage, after which they were directly teleported to Base 076 within the Ninth Battlefield, outside the Human Territory.

Lian Luo took one step out of the Divine Kingdom transit point, and felt the space-time shift before his eyes, arriving at a different location.

"More new recruits have been teleported over!"

"Get to work!"

Shouts rang out one after another.

The first thing Lian Luo saw was a squad of over a dozen soldiers, led by an Immortal God, who were there to greet them.

This was an Immortal God wearing a fiery red battle robe, with small twin horns on his forehead and flame patterns on his brow. He smiled and said, "New recruits, welcome to the Ninth Battlefield 'Base 076.' From here, the World Lords, Domain Lords, and Universe Level warriors will each follow one of us three to their respective destinations."

The Immortal God with horns on his forehead quickly designated three guides.

The roles and treatment afforded to Universe Level, Domain Lord, and World Lord warriors in the Outer Domain Battlefield were vastly different.

Universe Level and Domain Lord warriors could only join various armies, fighting against the main forces of alien races under the command of Immortal Gods. World Lords, however, were qualified to form small elite squads for combat, offering greater freedom and earning more military merit.

Of course, this was not because the higher-ups were unwilling to let Universe Level and Domain Lord warriors earn more points. The reason they were organized into large groups to fight under Immortal Gods was to allow them to survive longer.

Otherwise, a single Universe Level or Domain Lord warrior would struggle to survive even a single day on this brutal Outer Domain Battlefield.

Soon, all the soldiers had departed. Only the Immortal God with horns on his forehead remained, along with... Lian Luo.

The Immortal God smiled at Lian Luo, "Lord Blood-Robed Marquis, the Merit System has informed me that this is not your first time participating in the Outer Domain War. Therefore, you are a free agent and are not required to undertake any military merit tasks."

Lian Luo nodded. Military merit tasks were also a rule of the Outer Domain Battlefield. Every soldier who came to the Outer Domain Battlefield had to earn a certain amount of military merit to gain their freedom, retire, or continue fighting. Until then, they had to obey the arrangements of the military system and could not act independently.

"However, you have two choices. First, you can act alone."

"Second, you can choose to lead an army. This army will consist of 10 Immortal Gods, 1000 World Lords, 10,000 Domain Lords, and 100,000 Universe Level warriors. Your mission is to lead this army to fight in the Outer Domain Battlefield. When you encounter alien powerhouses, you will deal with the Marquis-level alien powerhouses, while your subordinate army will engage the alien armies."

"If you choose the first option, your military merit will accumulate normally."

"If you choose the second option and are willing to lead an army and protect it, you will receive an additional 50% military merit when accumulating points. For example, if you kill an ordinary Immortal God and gain 100 million military merit, you can gain 150 million military merit for killing the same Immortal God while leading an army. Furthermore... when leading an army, you do not need to protect them; you only need to deal with the Marquis-level alien Immortal Gods and prevent the alien Marquis-level Immortal Gods from slaughtering.

Be a babysitter?

Lian Luo shook his head. He hadn't come to the Outer Domain Battlefield for military merit.

With that thought, he said directly, "I want to act alone!"

"Very well, Lord Blood-Robed Marquis. I will record that for you now. At the same time, the Merit System should have also sent you the latest Star Chart for the 'Ninth Battlefield.' Please check it!" the Immortal God said cheerfully.

"En!" Lian Luo nodded, and then, led by a guide, headed towards the resting space arranged for Immortal Gods of Marquis level and above within the barracks base.

A moment later.

"Lord Blood-Robed Marquis, this is your resting area. Are you satisfied? If not, you may choose another unoccupied area!" said the soldier in white battle armor respectfully.

Lian Luo looked up at the area. It was an estate covering about several thousand mu, with soft artificial lighting cascading from the dome, simulating day and night cycles.

Within the estate, there was an elegant two-story villa, which served as his residence.

Similar standardized estates like this extended densely throughout the space, and it was impossible to know how many there were.

However, it wasn't surprising. The size of this war base was comparable to a star, and the internal space was astonishingly vast. If one's strength reached King-level, they could even go to another space and have a small island as their resting space.

In the Outer Domain Battlefield, everything was based on strength. The treatment one received depended entirely on their power.

"It's good, I'll take this one!" Lian Luo nodded.

"Understood, Lord Lian Luo!" The soldier in white battle armor set up the permissions for Lian Luo and then respectfully said, "If Your Lordship is dissatisfied with anything, you can contact the steward of this space through the Merit System at any time."

Lian Luo nodded and then walked directly into the estate.

"The environment is decent! Marquis-level Immortals can come back to rest after fighting," Lian Luo nodded. "The base has considered everything thoroughly."

Entering the villa and going up to the second floor, Lian Luo sat down cross-legged and opened the 3D Star Chart that the Merit System had sent him.

Before him, a large projection slowly materialized. The last time he entered the Outer Domain Battlefield, he had gone to the Fourth Battlefield, and he was not familiar with the environment of the Ninth Battlefield.

Now, he naturally had to study it first and find a suitable place to fight.
