Entering the Space-time Fortress

Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield, temporary military camp base for the Sacred Mountain Battle.

As King Huilei's words fell.

"Greetings, King Huilei!" The hundred Immortal legion commanders in the plaza, including Xizes, saluted him.

"Greetings, King Huilei!" One million Universe level soldiers saluted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the entire base.

"Hahaha, greetings to all you Universe level elites of the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield!" King Huilei laughed heartily and solemnly returned their salute.

"Everyone, you already know the specific details of this Sacred Mountain Battle. Next, I'll tell you something you don't know." After returning the salute, King Huilei looked at the soldiers below.

"First, let me share some news we just received. A report just came through the Virtual Universe Network: half a year ago, a group of royal and imperial Universe level geniuses from the Demon Race secretly arrived at the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield and joined the Demon Race army. Unless something unexpected happens, they will participate in this Sacred Mountain Battle!" As King Huilei spoke, his expression turned grave.

Compared with the Human Race, the Demon Race possessed stronger bodies, generally higher Gene Levels, and far greater Original Force reserves at the Universe level.

On the Outer Domain Battlefield, most Human Race Universe level soldiers could only contend evenly with the Demon Race in battle because their comprehension surpassed that of the demons.

However, the Demon Race was not without geniuses. Compared to ordinary demons, members of the imperial and royal clans possessed not only higher Gene Levels, but also greater innate intelligence and Bloodline Inheritance. Their strength far exceeded that of other demons.

The Demon Race had secretly sent imperial and royal clan members to enlist on the Outer Domain Battlefield, clearly intending to catch the Human Race and Mechanical Race off guard.

Moreover, with the Sacred Mountain Battle about to begin, it was clearly too late to gather Universe level geniuses from the Human Race's Five Great Giants.

"This Sacred Mountain Battle can only be participated in by the Universe level elites of the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield. Given the increased difficulty, the rewards offered by our Human Race have also been raised accordingly. If we win this Sacred Mountain Battle, the top thirty-one soldiers in points will be accepted as disciples by me and the thirty King-level experts behind me." Changing his tone, King Huilei directly revealed an exhilarating piece of news.

The chance to be accepted as a disciple by a King-level Immortal was enormously tempting to the million Universe level soldiers in the plaza.

King-level Immortals were considered relatively high-level combatants even within the entire Human Race. Having such an expert guide them would greatly broaden their path toward becoming powerful.

Among the crowd below, Li Ze was also extremely excited upon hearing this news. Although he possessed vast inheritances, he had encountered many questions while comprehending them. Some had been resolved on his own, but others had remained unanswered. If he could successfully become the disciple of a King-level Immortal this time, he would certainly be able to resolve many of the questions he had encountered in cultivation and further increase his cultivation speed.

Moreover, in the vast universe, the relationship between master and disciple was one of the most reliable bonds, even more dependable than family ties. Many experts treated their disciples as their own children.

During the early stages of cultivation, a King-level expert would be enough to serve as his protector, shielding him from storms before he grew powerful.

After all, as a real world, it was not only the Human Race and other races that had conflicts. There were also disputes of interest within the Human Race itself, along with many dark corners.

Every rising expert needed the protection of stronger experts!

He was not like Luo Feng in the Original Work.

Luo Feng had smoothly entered the Human Race giant Virtual Universe Company, enjoyed the Human Race's best resources, and become the disciple of the King-level Invincible King Zhenyan in Chaos City. Therefore, this opportunity to become the disciple of a King-level Immortal was extremely important to Li Ze.

Whoosh!

While the many Universe level soldiers below were still immersed in the news of becoming disciples of King-level Immortals, King Huilei waved his hand, and over a million blue streaks of Flowing Light flew from his hand, accurately arriving before every participating Universe level soldier.

"These are the Intelligent Crystals for this Sacred Mountain Battle. Store them in your armor bracers. They can directly record your battle achievements and upload them to the Cosmic Army's Virtual Network. They will serve as proof of your military merits in this Sacred Mountain Battle. In addition, the Three Races have jointly imposed signal interference and spatial isolation on the Space-time Fortress. All your Detection Instruments will become useless, but you can transmit information through the Intelligent Crystals." King Huilei's voice rang out again.

"Alright, everything before the battle has been explained. In one hour, you will enter the Space-time Fortress. Good luck, and come back alive!" King Huilei solemnly told everyone.

After King Huilei finished speaking, the metal city wall on the eastern side of the plaza began to retract downward, revealing an opening over a hundred kilometers wide.

More than a hundred kilometers from the temporary military camp base, the outline of a massive ruined city appeared on the horizon. Its walls stretched north and south, extending beyond sight.

The Space-time Fortress!

This was the Qishen Clan's super military camp from back then! Though it had been in ruins for many years, its majesty remained undiminished.

Whoosh!

One Universe level legion soldier after another began flying toward the Space-time Fortress east of the temporary military camp base under the leadership of their Legion Commanders.

Following the entry zones for the Space-time Fortress designated by the higher-ups of the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield's Cosmic Army, the soldiers of each legion separated in midair.

Before long, the soldiers of the 5th Cosmic Legion, led by Legion Commander Xizes, arrived before a section of the fortress wall and landed to wait.

Outside the Space-time Fortress was a curtain-like barrier that isolated it from the outside space. This was the Space Barrier jointly created by the Three Races, sealing the fortress off from the outside world. Once inside the fortress, one could only fly nearly a hundred kilometers before encountering the Space-time Barrier overhead.

This barrier had been created by the highest-ranking super existences of the Three Races in the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield, Universe Country Lord-level beings.

Its purpose was to completely isolate the fortress from the outside world during the Sacred Mountain Battle, allowing only Universe level soldiers to enter.

While the Human Race's Universe level soldiers waited outside the Space-time Fortress, two equally massive legions arrived outside the Space Barrier to the east and north of the fortress.

The northern legion consisted of the Demon Race's Universe level soldiers on the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield.

Earth Oxen, Red Rats, Magic Eye Tigers, Iron Crocodiles—numerous Demon Race species could be seen everywhere.

Ahead of all the Universe level soldiers, over a hundred demons stood in the air.

A translucent Giant Snake with a silver-white horn, a Green Wolf with enormous wings, and a lion with black and white two-headed lion heads.

These were members of the Demon Race's imperial and royal clans. There were exactly one hundred of them, forming ten squads. They were the blood descendants of super existences within the Demon Race, innately stronger than ordinary demons.

Cruel light flashed in these demons' eyes as they stared at the enormous fortress ahead. In this Sacred Mountain Battle, they would inherit their ancestors' glory and slaughter the soldiers of the Human Race and Mechanical Race.

East of the Space-time Fortress.

Outside the Space Barrier, a Mechanical Race legion waited in utter silence.

Every Universe level Mechanical Race soldier controlled a number of Mechanical Puppets beside them. These Mechanical Puppets were the most basic combat vessels of the Mechanical Race.

Although the Mechanical Race could not, like the Bug Race, have a Bug Race Mother Empress control an overwhelming swarm of bugs, they could still control a small number of puppets according to their own strength.

This gave the Mechanical Race a certain advantage in battles between those of the same level.

"The Sacred Mountain Battle has begun! Warriors of the Human Race! Slaughter the other two races! Bring victory back with you!" King Huilei's deep voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

At that moment, the Space Barrier slowly began to change, shifting from blue to transparent.

The Universe level soldiers who had waited on the ground for so long began flying toward the Space-time Fortress under the leadership of their squad captains.

Without encountering any obstruction, the Universe level soldiers at the front passed through the Space Barrier and arrived beneath the Space-time Fortress's enormous walls.

Li Ze and the others followed their captain, Lairui'er, to the foot of the wall. Looking up, they saw that it was made from an unknown material and stood five kilometers tall. Numerous pitted dents covered its surface, and some places even had enormous holes.

"The section of wall directly in front of us leads to H1000 District of the Space-time Fortress. Advance inward through H1000 District, and we may encounter Demon Race soldiers as early as H723 District. Once inside, Luan, release your Beast Tamer to scout fifty kilometers ahead of the squad." Lairui'er began assigning tasks according to the distributed map of the Space-time Fortress.

"Li Ze, your movement technique is excellent. Follow ten kilometers behind the Beast Tamer. If you discover Alien Race enemies, do not act rashly. Investigate the exact situation and keep yourself concealed." Lairui'er then said to Li Ze.

"Understood," Li Ze and Luan replied together.

"Lan Teng and Lan Kun, the two of you will respectively go five kilometers to the left and right of the squad. Keep watch on both sides at all times. Although there are Human Race squads on either side of us now, accidents can happen at any moment once we enter the battlefield." Lairui'er then said to Lan Teng and Lan Kun.

"Understood," Lan Teng and Lan Kun replied.

"Han Fu, use your Spiritual Power to keep watch on the movements behind us at all times. If anything seems wrong, report it immediately." Lairui'er said to Han Fu.

"Jirui Yu, Mengqian, Shantuo, the four of us will provide support wherever needed at any time." Lairui'er said to the remaining people.

"Once we enter the battlefield, be cautious—more cautious than ever!" Lairui'er reminded everyone again.

Everyone nodded in response.

"Move out!" After assigning the tasks, Lairui'er gave the order to enter.

Everyone flew toward the top of the city wall.

At the same time the Human Race soldiers entered the fortress.

"The battle has begun! All Demon Race soldiers, tear your opponents apart and claim victory in this Sacred Mountain Battle!"

The Demon Race's northern Universe level army also received the order that the Sacred Mountain Battle had begun.

Excited roars, cries, and hisses rose and fell one after another as all the Demon Race Universe level soldiers charged toward the Space-time Fortress.

At the very front of the formation, the imperial and royal clan members revealed cruel, bloodthirsty expressions and took the lead, charging ahead of the Demon Race warriors.

"Warriors of the Mechanical Race, enter the battlefield and bring the glory of victory in the Sacred Mountain Battle back to Father God!"

The high-ranking Mechanical Race officers in the east issued a similar order.

Upon receiving the order, all the Mechanical Race soldiers made not a single sound and flew directly toward the Space-time Fortress.

In an instant, the boundless metal legion swept toward the walls of the Space-time Fortress like dark clouds.
