Split Up and Act

Within the Purple Splendor Star River, there was more than just Nine-Colored Heavy Water.

Aside from the front and rear directions, islands of varying sizes floated across the river's upper, lower, left, and right surfaces. At the same time, the interior of the star river was scattered with special stars, wreckage, and other objects.

The environment was so intricate that it could be called the most complex in the entire Ninth Battlefield!

Before the Outer Domain Battlefield had been established, tens of thousands of ordinary, weak races lived within this star river, including quite a few experts at the level of Universe Venerable.

But later, the Four Great Peak Races chose this Cosmic Secret Realm as a battlefield. When the Outer Domain Battlefield was first established, the experts of the Four Great Peak Races swept through numerous regions. The native inhabitants of the Cosmic Secret Realm naturally fled in panic, not daring to resist the Four Great Peak Races at all. There was no time; only some managed to escape, while even more were slaughtered.

The Purple Splendor Star River was naturally no exception. Although its internal environment was complicated, no one knew how many spaces and worlds it contained.

Yet large groups of Universe Venerables joined forces to launch soul attacks, sweeping across the entire Purple Splendor Star River. Every lifeform within the star river... was completely exterminated. Below the Venerable level, even King experts died instantly.

The Venerables who opened up the battlefield naturally had no interest in their wealth, so it was all left within the star river.

Moreover, whether it was probes or Immortal Divine Power, the Nine-Colored Heavy Water severely limited their detection range. Combined with the overly complex environment inside the star river and the constantly flowing river water, locations changed at every moment.

As a result, after countless hundreds of millions of years, Immortals still occasionally discovered treasures within the star river and became rich overnight!

This was why vast numbers of Immortal Gods were drawn into this boundless star river to fight, explore, and search for treasure...

Of course, after hundreds of millions of years of slaughter, the star river itself no longer held much danger.

On an island on the surface of the Purple Splendor Star River, a disc-shaped spaceship came to a halt.

Inside the main control room, Lian Luo and his evil clone, Jiu Li, faced each other. Lian Luo smiled. "Let's part ways here and separately hunt Marquis Immortals!"

Jiu Li nodded. "Alright!"

At first, Lian Luo had planned to let the Nine Li clone fight alone in the Ninth Battlefield while he himself left the Outer Domain Battlefield and hid away in the core region of Human Territory.

However, after carefully considering it, he abandoned that idea. Instead, he decided that both his main body and evil clone would hunt Marquises simultaneously, speeding up the progress of opening the blue Blind Box!

The reason was simple. Universe Venerables above the Immortal level were forbidden from entering the Outer Domain Battlefield. King Level experts were the absolute powerhouses here. As long as he did not court death by heading into battlefields packed with peak King-level experts, there would basically be no danger.

For example, in the Purple Splendor Star River he had chosen, most of the Immortals fighting here were Marquises or Immortal Army Masters. There were only a small number of Kings, and those Kings were basically Early King-level.

The evil clone was even stronger than an Early King-level expert, while his main body had barely reached the King Level threshold. There was no chance of encountering danger here!

Therefore, sending out both his main body and clone to hunt Marquis Immortals at the same time was the best choice.

Of course, if he later went to fight in the highest-level combat zone of the Ninth Battlefield or ventured into a Cosmic Secret Realm, he definitely would not do this.

Within the Purple Splendor Star River, Immortal Army Masters led their armies in battle across the surface regions. Lone Wanderer Marquises and Kings, meanwhile, ventured deep into the star river to fight, explore, and search for treasure.

To complete the task of killing Marquis Immortals, he likewise had to enter the interior of the star river. Thus, Lian Luo did not linger on the surface and parted ways with his evil clone, Jiu Li.

The Nine Li clone piloted the E9-class spaceship, while he piloted the F9-class spaceship. At the same time, they plunged into the Nine-Colored Heavy Water and flew in opposite directions.

"Rumble—"

The black, streamlined spaceship easily pushed aside the freezing, immensely heavy river water and maintained high speed as it advanced.

"My detector is far too poor!" Lian Luo shook his head helplessly inside the main control room.

The Nine Li clone was far stronger than his main body. He could kill an Early Marquis without burning his divine body. Therefore, Lian Luo had given the detector he had brought from Ganwu Universe Country to the Nine Li clone. The detector he was currently using had merely been selected from the spoils of the Immortal Army Masters he had killed earlier.

It was probably worth only a few thousand Chaos Units.

In open space, it could cover a range of more than a hundred million kilometers. But within this star river, obstructed by the river water, its coverage was reduced a thousandfold, leaving it able to cover only around a hundred thousand kilometers!

"When I have money, I'll still need to replace it with a better detector!"

Unknowingly, several years passed.

Just as Lian Luo's main body was still lamenting the detector's poor performance, the Nine Li clone had already discovered prey.

The control console in the disc-shaped spaceship's main cabin displayed the detected image. A towering giant nearly a thousand meters tall, whose entire body was made of gray rock, was sitting cross-legged inside a fragment of a star, resting.

"This should be a Gray Tiger Race member from an extremely remote region of the universe. It belongs to the rock lifeforms and has Early Marquis strength!"

A bloodthirsty gleam flashed through the Nine Li clone's eyes. "He's on the Mechanical Race's side! I can kill him!"

In fact, he had already discovered a Marquis Immortal before this. But that Marquis Immortal had been a human ally. Killing him would have been treason against his race, and he would have been wanted by the Merit System. The Nine Li clone could only helplessly let him go!

"Whoosh!"

The Nine Li clone's detector was far more advanced than that of the Gray Tiger Race Marquis. Even after he approached the star fragment where his target was hiding, the other party still had not noticed his presence.

"Die!" The Nine Li clone gripped Tiger Soul with both hands and swung it fiercely!

"Rumble—"

A blade light like a Blood-Robed River instantly split apart the river water and struck the star fragment where the Gray Tiger Race Marquis was hiding. Wherever the blade light passed, a massive rift in universe space appeared directly! The star fragment, which even a World Master's full-force attack could not damage, instantly turned to dust beneath this strike from the Nine Li clone.

"Who?" Only then did the Gray Tiger Race Marquis realize that he had been attacked. Startled and enraged, he produced a pair of enormous hammers in his hands. The hammers were like black holes, swallowing all surrounding light.

The Gray Tiger Race Marquis immediately saw the Nine Li clone standing in the river water like a demon god, as well as the blood light slashing toward him. He let out an angry roar. "Human!"

The next instant, the pair of massive hammers suddenly changed. They had originally been black holes devouring all light, but now they became stars releasing boundless radiance.

The twin hammers, blooming like stars, swung violently and completely churned the river water, forming towering waves that directly shattered the surrounding universe space.

Before a Marquis Immortal, neither the Nine-Colored Heavy Water nor universe space was remotely sturdy enough. Then... the pair of massive hammers swept up endless river water and spatial fragments as they smashed dominantly toward the Blood River-like blade light!

"Bang!"

The massive hammers and blade light collided!

Spatial fragments shook and twisted. The intense shockwave instantly spread across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, causing even the already boiling river water to tremble as though a giant were stirring it.

And the result of the collision—

"How is this possible..." The Gray Tiger Race Marquis was sent flying backward, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. "My divine body lost 2% in an instant!"

"This human is a King!!!!"
