Sacred Mountain Battle

Virtual Universe, Tongfeng Team's Virtual Space.

Watching Li Ze stand in the Virtual Battle Space with his sword in hand after killing Shantuo, the members of Tongfeng Team stood frozen on the spot.

They could not understand why Shantuo, after unleashing his strongest combat power, had been instantly defeated and killed by a single strike from Li Ze.

As Universe Level Generals, they were already among the strongest Universe level fighters on the Outer Domain Battlefield. Although there were differences in strength among them, those differences were not so great that someone could break their ultimate move with one attack and then instantly kill them.

If Li Ze could instantly kill Shantuo, then he could instantly kill them as well.

At once, everyone who had previously looked down on Li Ze for being a newcomer to the Outer Domain Battlefield put away their contempt. Li Ze was a Universe level fighter even more powerful than them!

Whoosh!

A figure appeared beside them.

It was Shantuo!

Although Shantuo had emerged, he was still immersed in his shock over the battle just now!

He had been about to use his ultimate move to kill Li Ze when his energy battle saber suddenly shattered. A streak of red light flew toward him, and before he had any time to react, darkness fell before his eyes. The next moment, he had appeared outside the Virtual Battle Space.

"Shantuo, what happened? How did Li Ze kill you so quickly?" Before Shantuo could recover from his shock, a pleasant voice reached him. He came back to his senses and saw everyone on the team looking at him. The one speaking was Jirui Yu, her face full of curiosity.

Shantuo's face twisted bitterly. "I don't understand how I lost either. I only saw my battle saber shatter, then a streak of red light came at me. I couldn't react at all before I was killed and sent out. We should wait until Li Ze comes out and ask him. Are newcomers these days all this powerful?" After speaking, Shantuo shook his head again.

Just as Shantuo finished speaking, Li Ze's figure appeared beside the group.

When everyone saw Li Ze appear, they all turned to look at him, including Shantuo.

"What's with all of you?"

The moment Li Ze returned to the training ground, he saw eight people staring at him with sixteen wide-open eyes. Startled, he immediately asked.

"Ah!"

With a cry, Jirui Yu pounced straight toward Li Ze. Tugging on his arm, she asked, "Li Ze, you're incredible! How did you instantly kill Shantuo in one move? He may not be the strongest in our team, but being instantly killed in one strike is still too terrifying!"

Shantuo's face immediately darkened, black lines running across his forehead.

But no one cared about his feelings now. They all looked at Li Ze with questioning expressions.

"Actually, Shantuo is already very strong. It would have been difficult for me to defeat him with ordinary moves, so I used my Talent Secret Technique. That was why it had such power. With my current Universe level Original Force, I can't unleash it many times," Li Ze explained.

When they heard that this was Li Ze's Talent Secret Technique, they were all envious, but no one said anything more. The universe was vast, and all kinds of Talent Secret Techniques could appear. Only such techniques could allow someone to unleash combat power far beyond their own.

"Li Ze, when I watched your movement technique earlier, it seemed to contain the mysteries of space. Do you have insight into space as well?" Lairui'er suddenly asked Li Ze. It was no wonder he pressed Li Ze for an answer. As the captain of a team, only by thoroughly understanding his members' abilities could he make the most suitable assignments during missions and battles.

"Yes. My movement technique incorporates a Space Domain," Li Ze said with a nod.

The moment those words came out, everyone was left even more speechless at how monstrous Li Ze was.

During the battle just now, they had already seen that Li Ze possessed a deep understanding of the Law of Fire. Now he was telling them that he had also comprehended a Space Domain.

As one of the two High-level Laws, the difficulty of comprehending a Space Domain was no less than comprehending any other Low-level Law. Moreover, once one had comprehended a Space Domain, there was a great chance that, with time, one could comprehend the Law of Space Origin.

Li Ze had already grasped the path leading toward the Law of Space Origin, and everyone could only envy him for it.

"Good! With Li Ze joining us, our team has become much stronger. In this Sacred Mountain Battle, Tongfeng Team will certainly achieve better results and earn more rewards!" Hearing Li Ze's answer, Lairui'er's face was full of smiles.

"Sacred Mountain Battle? Captain, is the Sacred Mountain Battle about to begin?"

The dwarf Han Fu, who had been listening to the others, immediately looked toward Captain Lairui'er with excitement when he heard the words "Sacred Mountain Battle."

The others seemed to think of something as well after hearing Han Fu's question, and they all looked excitedly at their captain.

This was the second time Li Ze had heard of the Sacred Mountain Battle. The previous time had been when First Brigade's commander, Lu Feng, mentioned it to Lairui'er. Li Ze looked at Lairui'er in confusion.

"This is also the third matter I wanted to discuss at our welcome banquet. Everyone, log off first. I'll explain it in detail," Lairui'er said directly when he saw their reactions.

They all nodded and disconnected from the Virtual Universe.

In the real world, inside Lairui'er's manor castle.

The members of Tongfeng Team sat in their seats, discussing the Sacred Mountain Battle.

"I only heard about it from the brigade commander when I went to pick up Li Ze. The Universe level Sacred Mountain Battle on Yulan Continent is about to begin. As for the specifics, we will have to wait until the brigade commander returns from a military meeting before we receive official notice," Lairui'er said to the others from his seat.

"Captain, what is the Universe level Sacred Mountain Battle? Is it important?" Listening to Lairui'er, Li Ze voiced his question.

"I'll explain this one. Li Ze, you've just arrived at the Outer Domain Battlefield, so you don't know some of the secrets of the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield. I understand these matters fairly well," the dwarf Han Fu said, taking over the conversation after hearing Li Ze's question.

Lairui'er did not interrupt Han Fu. Instead, he let him continue. Having ventured through the Outer Domain Battlefield for more than three hundred years, Han Fu could be said to know the most secrets of the Outer Domain Battlefield, and in the greatest detail, among everyone present. Even Lairui'er could not compare to him in some areas.

"Several people here come from peak Human Race bloodlines, with super existences at the level of Universe Country Lords within your clans. The resources within your respective clans are among the best of the many Human Race clans. Only the geniuses in the core ranks of the Five Great Giants likely surpass you in cultivation resources."

As he spoke, Han Fu glanced around and saw several people of peak bloodline origins nod.

"Then why did you give up the chance to possibly enter the core ranks of the Five Great Giants and come to this Outer Domain Battlefield instead?"

"I'm afraid everyone thinks the same way. You are unwilling to enter the major giant factions as mere ordinary geniuses in the core ranks of the Five Great Giants."

"Other than the few geniuses who receive training and resources on the level of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm and Taichu Secret Realm, resources far beyond what all of you receive, the odds of ordinary core geniuses breaking through to become Immortals are not much greater than the odds offered by the secret realms of your respective clans."

"Since you want better cultivation resources, and have not entered through the Genius Battle or Strongman Battle, then you can only achieve great accomplishments and make great contributions as Sector Lords before you can be invited into the core forces of the Five Great Giants. And if you wish to become such a person, the only path is through the Outer Domain Battlefield."

"More than that, Sector Lords who rise through the Outer Domain Battlefield and enter the forces of the Five Great Giants did not receive many resources from their clans during their early years. They relied entirely on their own slaughter and battle, contributing to the Human Race throughout their growth. Therefore, once they are invited into a giant faction during the Sector Lord stage, the treatment they receive can even surpass that of Sector Lord geniuses trained in places like the Primal Secret Realm."

Han Fu stopped there and looked toward the others.

The others nodded as well.

So many Universe level and Domain Lord level members of the Human Race came from peak bloodlines. Why did they still rush to the Outer Domain Battlefield like moths to a flame despite knowing its death rate was so high?

Unwillingness!

In the end, it was that unwillingness in their hearts!

They wanted to use the countless killings of the Outer Domain Battlefield to complete their own transformation, allowing them not only to become Immortals, but even to go further among the Immortals and become supreme experts.

"The Outer Domain Battlefield does not merely allow us to transform through repeated slaughter and battle. It also contains many rare treasures that can help Universe level and Domain Lord level cultivators like us transform more quickly. This Universe level Sacred Mountain Battle is a grand feast for Universe level fighters on the Outer Domain Battlefield!" Han Fu continued.

"In the universe, every major realm breakthrough is a leap in life itself. The stronger one's cultivation talent is while still a low-level lifeform, the more greatly that talent will transform after breaking through to a major realm. That is why all major universe factions value the early training of geniuses. It is also why the Human Race holds the Universe Peak Genius Battle."

"This Sacred Mountain Battle is an opportunity to compete for an improvement in Universe level cultivation talent!"

"Twelve million eras ago, the secret realm where the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield now stands was the breeding ground of a powerful clan known as the Qishen Clan. The Qishen Clan was an extremely extraordinary existence. They were born long after the major clans of the universe, yet they rose swiftly. The reason was that the Qishen Clan possessed 1,008 Sacred Mountains. Of these, there was one Sector Lord level Sacred Mountain, 107 Domain Lord level Sacred Mountains, and 900 Universe level Sacred Mountains. These Sacred Mountains had naturally formed within the Qishen Clan's secret realm in the Primordial Universe," Han Fu explained, introducing the origin of the Sacred Mountains.

"Every so often, the Sacred Mountains produce a mysterious liquid known as Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid. Soaking one's soul in this liquid for cleansing can promote the soul's transformation, make it closer to the Cosmic Origin, and allow one to comprehend the laws of the universe more quickly. It was precisely because of this that the Qishen Clan rose so rapidly and eventually even produced an existence surpassing a Universe Country Lord!"

"The effects of these Sacred Mountains were later discovered by the Human Race, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical Race. This led to the Three Great Peak Clans joining forces to destroy the Qishen Clan. During that great war, many Sacred Mountains were destroyed. In the end, only the Sector Lord level Sacred Mountain, seven Domain Lord level Sacred Mountains, and nineteen Universe level Sacred Mountains remained. Later, during the Three Races' struggle for the Sacred Mountains, another three Domain Lord level Sacred Mountains were destroyed!"

"Later, after negotiations among the upper echelons of the Three Races, they decided to jointly station armies to guard the Sacred Mountains and prevent their destruction. In addition, whenever Sacred Mountains of each level opened, a Sacred Mountain Battle would be held among cultivators of that level to compete for Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid cleansing slots."

"Every ten eras, the Universe level Sacred Mountains produce a batch of Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid. Each batch is enough for one thousand Universe level lifeforms to use. Therefore, every Sacred Mountain Battle is a great opportunity in the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield. Many factions that know the details send Universe level geniuses to compete for the slots."

After explaining the information about the Sacred Mountain Battle, Han Fu stopped speaking.
