You All Deserve to Die!

Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield, inside the Space-time Fortress.

Li Ze, who had just killed the captain of the Demon Race Royal Family team, was preparing to assist the other Human Race teams in eliminating the remaining demons.

Suddenly, four transparent Light Balls carrying enormous energy appeared from all directions and struck toward the battlefield where the fighting was taking place.

Trailing long tails like four massive Light Pillars, the Light Balls tore through the void in an instant and slammed directly toward everyone on the battlefield.

"Defend! Defend! Def—" A shrill cry rang out in the minds of the Human Race teams.

The Human Race soldiers, whose nerves had only just relaxed considerably, scattered almost at the same time, fleeing in all directions or summoning additional defensive measures.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The warning had barely sounded when the four Light Balls descended upon the battlefield almost simultaneously. The tremendous impact violently shook the entire ground.

The surrounding buildings and trees were instantly destroyed by the blast waves. Even with the Space-time Fortress's sturdy construction materials, a massive empty zone five kilometers across was instantly cleared.

The enormous shockwave shot straight into the sky before finally striking the Space Barrier covering the Outer Domain Battlefield and dissipating into the air.

Gradually, the energy within the blast zone began to fade.

A Giant Pit more than five hundred meters in diameter appeared on the battlefield.

"Hiss, that hurts!"

A pained voice sounded after the explosion.

Then, three kilometers beyond the edge of the Giant Pit, a figure clad in Dark Red Battle Armor shakily rose from the ground.

The Dark Red Battle Armor on the figure had become tattered and torn, exposing pale skin in many places.

The long hair that had once covered his head had been scorched away, leaving his entire head blackened.

Buzz!

Original Force trembled, instantly shaking away the scorched hair and black residue covering his head, revealing Li Ze's face.

The moment the four massive Light Balls appeared, alarm bells had sounded wildly in Li Ze's heart, and a deadly threat surged within him.

Without any hesitation, he instantly used the Talent Secret Technique Extreme Speed to flee into the distance. Although Yulan Continent's powerful gravity greatly weakened the technique's effects, Li Ze still managed to escape some distance before the attack arrived.

It was precisely Li Ze's decisiveness that kept him from suffering too much from the attack, leaving him with no additional injuries.

Li Ze then flew into the air and surveyed the battlefield where the Human Race and Demon Race had been fighting.

The moment he saw the Giant Pit blasted into the ground, Li Ze's expression changed drastically, and he flew straight toward it.

"Not him! Not him either!"

As Li Ze flew anxiously toward the Giant Pit, his Mental Power spread outward, revealing several Human Race members lying on the ground near the pit.

After sensing their appearances with his Mental Power, he discovered that none of them were members of Tongfeng Team.

These Human Race soldiers had decisively fled the moment they noticed the Light Balls. However, they had not escaped as quickly as Li Ze, and after being hit by the energy shockwaves, they now lay on the ground with their lives and deaths unknown.

Although Li Ze saw them, after sensing with his Mental Power that they were not the Tongfeng Team members he sought, he did not descend. Instead, he hurried past them and searched rapidly toward the center of the explosion.

Suddenly, a trace of delight appeared in Li Ze's eyes as he flew toward the other side of the Giant Pit.

Very soon, Li Ze found a blue-skinned dwarf. It was Han Fu of the Water Dwarf Race. Han Fu was in an utterly miserable state: one arm was gone, his battle armor was in ruins, and his body was covered in wounds caused by the massive energy impact. Streams of blue blood flowed from multiple parts of his body, while his once wild hair and beard had all been scorched away.

Li Ze used his Mental Power to inspect Han Fu's condition and found that he was severely injured and currently unconscious.

Whoosh!

Li Ze waved his hand and took out a large pile of healing potions from his Spatial Ring. He had not bought these potions himself; Mengqian had distributed them to every Tongfeng Team member before they entered the Sacred Mountain Battle.

After bottle after bottle of healing potion, Han Fu's injuries stabilized, and his aura gradually strengthened and recovered.

Li Ze placed Han Fu into his Small World Ring, then began searching for the other team members.

Three minutes later, Li Ze had flown across the entire battlefield and finally found the severely injured Lairui'er, Jirui Yu, Mengqian, and Lan Kun. Without exception, they had all fallen into unconsciousness from grievous injuries. After treating them, he placed them all into his World Ring.

He could not find Shantuo, Luan, Lan Teng, or the others.

Although he knew that Universe level warriors could die at any time on the Outer Domain Battlefield, when that moment truly came for the comrades beside him, Li Ze still felt endless grief crash down upon him.

But on the battlefield, there was no time for Li Ze to vent his sorrow.

Afterward, Li Ze turned back to treat the other heavily injured survivors he encountered, placing them into his Spatial Ring.

While searching and treating the wounded, Li Ze encountered several Human Race members who had not suffered severe injuries. They were all hurriedly searching for their teammates, their eyes filled with grief.

Among them, Li Ze unexpectedly saw Feng He. He too was flying swiftly through the air in search of his teammates. Yet unlike his handsome, confident appearance before the battle with the Demon Race, Feng He now wore a pained expression, and the wings on his back that had once shone with Five-Colored Radiance were now badly damaged.

When he saw Li Ze, he said nothing. He merely nodded, his eyes bloodshot and filled with apology.

After they could no longer find a single living Human Race member in the entire blast zone, all the Human Race members still capable of moving gathered together.

At this point, only six Human Race soldiers remained able to move.

A powerful aura of grief permeated every one of them.

Before anyone could speak, numerous Mechanical Race teams appeared in the distant skies in every direction.

Time returned to before the battle between the Human Race and Demon Race began.

Tens of thousands of kilometers from the battlefield, one Mechanical Race team after another arrived around the combat zone. Relying on the advantage of miniature Mechanical Puppets monitoring the entire battlefield and on precise calculations, these Mechanical Race teams went unnoticed by the Human Race and Demon Race teams.

In every direction around the Human Race and Demon Race battlefield, five Mechanical Race Universe Level General teams had gathered. They were the top twenty-ranked Mechanical Race teams across the entire Space-time Fortress battlefield.

These Mechanical Race teams hid silently, waiting for the Human Race and Demon Race to make their move.

Miniature Mechanical Puppets had long been monitoring the surroundings of the Human Race and Demon Race teams. These puppets were all microscopic in size. Since neither race could use Detection Instruments within the Space-time Fortress, their own detection methods could not discover these miniature Mechanical Puppets that lacked any life aura.

According to the Mechanical Race's calculations, the decisive battle between the Human Race and Demon Race should have lasted a long time. No matter which side won, the other would suffer enormous casualties.

Thus, the Mechanical Race commander had kept their teams waiting thousands of kilometers away. After all, Mechanical Race team members were unlike miniature puppets; many were quite large and possessed life auras, making them easy to detect. If they got too close and were discovered by the Human Race or Demon Race in advance, their plan to play the role of the fisherman would fail.

However, when the images transmitted by the Mechanical Puppets showed that the Demon Race had been struck by the Will Crystal and was about to be wiped out by the Human Race, the Mechanical Race commander could no longer sit still.

He ordered the Mechanical Race teams in every direction to expend immense energy and arrange Space-time Spheres, bombarding the battlefield of the Human Race and Demon Race.

A Space-time Sphere was an Energy Convergence attack used by the Universe level Mechanical Race. Each attack required more than fifty Universe level Mechanical Race members to channel all their energy into a piece of Energy Convergence Metal. Because it took some time to prepare, this type of attack was generally used only in large-scale legion battles on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

The attack's only advantage was its speed and immense contained energy. Along a straight line, it seemed to directly cross space and time, leaving enemies of the same level no time to evade. The energy it contained far exceeded the limits a Universe level warrior could withstand; even Universe Level Generals absolutely could not take it head-on. Of course, if it was detected in advance, it would have no chance of hitting anyone.

After receiving the commander's order, the hidden Mechanical Race teams immediately took out metal plates floating in the air, each one seemingly ordinary.

The patterns on the surfaces of those metal plates were extremely special. As the many Mechanical Race soldiers poured their Original Force into them, heart-palpitating energy continuously coursed through the patterns. The energy accumulated without end, and gradually, a transparent Light Ball condensed above each metal plate.

As time passed, the Light Balls continued to grow, and dazzling Red Light began to emerge across their surfaces.

"Attack!" "Attack!" "Attack!" "Attack!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four transparent Light Balls seemed to cross layer after layer of space-time as they shot toward the battlefield where the Human Race and Demon Race were fighting.

After launching the Space-time Spheres, the many Mechanical Race members, whose Original Force had nearly been exhausted, took out Cosmic Crystals and began absorbing them to restore their Original Force, preparing for the final harvest.

Seeing the surrounding Mechanical Race teams flying toward them, Li Ze and the others instantly understood the origin of the attack they had suffered.

Thinking of their many fallen teammates, as well as the comrades who were gravely injured and still unconscious inside their World Rings—

The eyes of everyone gathered there instantly turned red as endless fury erupted within their hearts.

"Li Ze, the rest of you follow behind me later. I failed to foresee this enormous mistake, and I will take responsibility for the defeat of this Sacred Mountain Battle. In a moment, I'll try to use self-destruction to open a gap for you. Charge out directly. Please take the severely injured teammates in my World Ring out with you. Only if you survive can you avenge those who died for us!" Feng He no longer had his former spirited appearance. Immense regret and rage surrounded him, and his face was twisted in fury.

"Feng He, there's no need for you to self-destruct. Blood debts must be repaid in blood. I can't wait until later. Leave these Mechanical Race members to me. All of you, enter my World Ring as well." After hearing Feng He's words, Li Ze did not agree with his proposal. He directly tossed Feng He's World Ring back to him.

Compared to Feng He and the others, although Li Ze's heart was filled with overwhelming rage, his mind was growing increasingly calm.

Perhaps it was a result of the unique changes to his soul, or perhaps it was the influence of the sage texts collected from Earth that he had studied for so long.

Li Ze discovered that he could always maintain absolute calmness in battle. That calmness allowed him to seize every flaw in his opponents and fully exploit his greatest advantages.

"Li Ze, this isn't the time to show off. I'll bear the consequences of my mistake!" Catching the World Ring Li Ze had tossed back, Feng He immediately became anxious upon hearing his words and roared at him.

"I'm not showing off. Don't worry. I'll kill every one of these Mechanical Race members." Li Ze's cold voice rang out in response to Feng He's roar.

Seeing Li Ze's calm eyes and icy, serious expression, the words Feng He had intended to argue died in his throat. In the end, he slowly nodded at Li Ze.

After seeing Feng He nod, Li Ze no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, he placed everyone into his World Ring, then turned to look at the numerous Mechanical Race teams rapidly approaching from all sides.

"You all deserve to die!" His icy voice echoed through the sky.
