Descend Upon the First Battlefield

Yang Yu then spent another month with Grandpa Yang, answering many of his questions about cultivation.

During this period, he also frequently video-chatted with Ai Chen.

They were living a very leisurely and comfortable life.

This month has been the most relaxed month for Yang Yu in recent years.

But this brief rest is only for the sake of setting sail again in a better way.

Countless trials await Yang Yu ahead.

After saying goodbye to Grandpa Yang.

Yang Yu boarded the Thunder Universe Spaceship, slightly altered his height and appearance, revealing the Leidian Mark between his eyebrows, and arrived at a first-level administrative planet of the Ganwu Universe Country. He then used the teleportation channel there to directly reach the Human Race's recruitment station, 'Canglu Star'.

The Canglu Star, with a diameter of 1.03 million kilometers, is an Artificially Manufactured Planet and a Star Fortress in itself, one of the Eight Great Logistics Bases within Human Territory.

It is also a fixed transport point for the Cosmic Army, from which a large number of the Cosmic Army are continuously transported to the 'Outer-Domain Battlefield'.

As World Lord with extremely high authority, this information was not a secret to Yang Yu.

Stepping out of the teleportation tunnel, Yang Yu walked straight out.

"Hello, I'm a staff member here." As soon as we arrived at a huge plaza, a man in Silver Standard Battle Armor immediately stepped forward and said.

Those World Lord who arrive alone via teleportation are either of extraordinary background or possess extremely high personal strength.

Regardless of which one, they all need to be received with care.

Yang Yu looked over and saw that the staff member's appearance was quite similar to that of Earthlings. "Hello, I'm here to apply for entry into the Outer-Domain Battlefield. Which way should I go?"

"Cosmic Army operate collectively, while lone wolves travel together along this corridor to the central location."

The man in standard Battle Armor pointed to a transparent glass corridor in the distance, saying, "This corridor is over 3,000 kilometers long. At the end of it is the assembly point."

"Thanks." Yang Yu nodded. He then proceeded directly along the passage, covering hundreds of kilometers in a flash, and reached the end in a short while.

Stepping out of the glass passage, you are greeted by a beautiful square.

Tens of thousands of people have gathered here, but because the square is so large, even tens of thousands of people still seem sparse.

"Hello, please rest here for a while," a pretty receptionist with pointed ears said as she stepped forward.

"When can we go to the Outer-Domain Battlefield?" Yang Yu asked directly.

"I'm sorry, we need to gather a certain number of people before we can teleport you to the battlefield. We'll notify you when that happens. Otherwise, the logistical costs would be too high," the receptionist said with a smile.

Yang Yu nodded, then walked over and sat down.

There were many alloy benches in the square, and scattered around were many space warriors who wanted to participate in the battle. Yang Yu also randomly chose a spot to sit down.

Because he had changed his appearance and Yang Yu rarely made public appearances, no one discovered his true identity.

During the wait, Yang Yu also got to know many powerful World Lord lords from other Universe Country, most of whom had been recognized by the Origin Law.

These people come from various sources, including a family, a Universe Secret Region suitable for survival, or an immortal God Country.

Chatting with them, Yang Yu gained a better understanding of the vastness and immensity of the Primal Universe.

Finally.

One day later.

The number of World Lord who wanted to participate in the battle gathered in the square reached the quota of 100.

"Universe Level, everyone assemble here."

"Domain Lord, assemble here."

"All World Lord experts, come this way!" A powerful immortal clad in Black Battle Armor shouted, his voice instantly echoing throughout the entire plaza.

People who heard the sound quickly gathered.

The area where World Lord lords gather.

"Leidian, are we really going to the most dangerous First Battlefield this time?" Lancelot, a three-meter-tall, burly Ape Man World Lord, asked Yang Yu.

'Leidian' is also the code name Yang Yu gave himself.

"Yes, the Canglu Star is linked to the First Battlefield. I've heard that the First Battlefield is the one where the Peak Race have deployed the most troops and the most powerful warriors, and it's also the most brutal. I plan to go there to hone my skills."

Yang Yu smiled.

Yang Yu met Lancelot, the Ape Man World Lord, here. After a conversation, the two unexpectedly hit it off and became friends.

"Is that so? I'm really looking forward to it!" The Ape Man with golden fur on his face had shining eyes. "I came from my hometown to make my way in the world, and I'm determined not to go back until I become immortal!"

"Haha, that's ambitious! Keep it up!"

"Hehe, but this Outer-Domain Battlefield is extremely dangerous. I might have to rely on your help, Leidian."

"You're welcome. We'll help each other out when the time comes."

As the two chatted, all one hundred World Lord were soon assembled.

"Fellow World Lord and Warriors, you are about to embark on your journey to the most glorious yet most brutal Outer-Domain Battlefield," the Immortal said solemnly. "However, the army has its own rules, and you will not be as free as you were when you traveled alone before!"

Yang Yu, Lancelot, and over a hundred other World Lord listened quietly.

"Before we depart, we need to conduct a traditional Authority Granting Ceremony for you," the Black Battle Armor immortal said solemnly.

"The so-called granting of authority means determining your position in the military based on your capabilities. The military is a hierarchical system where subordinates must obey their superiors, so it is essential to clearly define the position and authority of each of you within the military."

"Do we have to fight each other to grant authority?"

The World Lord immediately asked.

"Of course not. As for how to clarify, it's very simple. I believe each of you has demonstrated your strongest abilities in the Virtual Universe. If any of you haven't demonstrated your strongest abilities in the Virtual Universe and are worried that the Authority Granting Ceremony will be unfair, then you can enter the Virtual Universe Network now and unleash your strongest abilities. The authorization process will begin shortly."

"That's a really simplistic and crude way of judging," said Lancelot, the Ape Man.

"The Virtual Universe is absolutely fair, and the assessment of strength is also absolutely just, so there's no problem with doing it this way," Yang Yu said with a smile.

A little while later.

The immortal in Black Battle Armor spoke again, "Alright, the authority granting is divided into three levels, from lowest to highest: 'Ordinary World Lord Warrior,' 'Elite World Lord Warrior,' and 'World Lord War General.'"

"That should be about right now. Come over one by one and receive the permissions."

Upon hearing this, the 100 World Lord walked towards the black-armored immortal in turn. A beam of blue light shot out from the screen on his arm guard, enveloping the approaching World Lord.

"Ordinary World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

"Ordinary World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

The screen on the black-armored immortal arm guards automatically emitted a series of sounds, and at the same time, every World Lord who had received the authorization also received a message from the Virtual Universe System.

The higher the authority, the different one's status in the military.

"I didn't expect there to be so many Elite World Lord Warriors," Lancelot, the Ape Man, remarked. He and Yang Yu stood at the back of the line, watching the World Lord undergo testing one by one.

"That's normal. After all, he dared to come to the Outer-Domain Battlefield alone. How could he dare to come if he was weak?" Yang Yu said with a smile.

Soon, it was Yang Yu and his companion's turn to line up.

Lancelot stepped forward first, the blue light sweeping across him.

"World Lord War General!"

"Wow! I never expected this Ape Man to be World Lord War General." The World Lord watching all looked at Lancelot in surprise, and even the Black Armor Immortal smiled and nodded at Lancelot.

"Alright, Lancelot." Yang Yu smiled and looked at the Ape Man World Lord.

Hehe~

Then Yang Yu stepped forward, and the blue light swept across.

"World Lord War General!"

"Whoa!"

The probability of two consecutive World Lord War General appearing is extremely low.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so good at hiding your abilities, Leidian. We'll really need your help on the battlefield now," Lancelot said.

The authorization process ended quickly. Among the 100 World Lord, there were 2 World Lord War General, 64 Elite World Lord Warrior, and 34 Ordinary World Lord Warrior.

The Authority Granting Ceremony World Lord and Universe Level is the fastest.

The Domain Lord were a little slower.

"The Authority Granting Ceremony is now complete." The black-armored immortal's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the ears of tens of thousands of cosmic warriors.

"Follow me, everyone. We'll be teleporting you all to the Outer-Domain Battlefield shortly. This inter-racial war involves a large number of warriors, so there are Eleven Battlefields in total, all outside our Human Territory. That's why they're called the Outer-Domain Battlefield. You're going to the First Battlefield."

"The First Battlefield!?"

"All outside Human Territory?"

"Waaah, my teacher and fellow disciples are on the Third Battlefield. It seems there's no hope of ever running into them."

"It turns out to be the most dangerous First Battlefield!"

Immediately, various voices of discussion arose in the square.

Yang Yu was not surprised. "The average mortality rate on the First Battlefield is 99.1%, ranking first among the eleven battlefields Outer-Domain Battlefield. It's a very good place for training."

"Let's go!" the black-armored immortal commanded.

Immediately, tens of thousands of warriors marched forward, with Yang Yu and his group of World Lord at the forefront.

A moment later, the group arrived in a large hall with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers.

Within this enormous hall lies a vast Space Water Curtain Channel.

"This is the Space Passage to the First Battlefield." The black-armored immortal walked to the water curtain. "The First Battlefield is a Universe Secret Region with a maximum diameter of about 1.3 million light-years. However, after billions of years of slaughter, this Universe Secret Region itself is no longer dangerous. The main threat comes from Alien Race enemies. There are a total of One Hundred Barracks Bases in the First Battlefield. You have now been teleported to Base 001."

This water curtain is one kilometer wide and one kilometer high.

Wow!

One by one, the World Lord went in, followed by Yang Yu and Lancelot. Soon, all the tens of thousands of soldiers entered.

Using the God Country as Transfer Station, Yang Yu and his tens of thousands of soldiers arrived at the God Country Transfer Station and then entered the water curtain-like Space Passage again. They were then directly teleported to the Barracks Base No. 001 in the First Battlefield outside the Human Territory.

As soon as Yang Yu stepped out of the God Country Transfer Station, he felt the space-time shift before his eyes, and he found himself in another place.

"Hmm? A new person has arrived."

"We have new recruits!"

"Quick, quick, quick, stop lying down and get up and get to work!"

Exclamations of surprise and shouts rang out one after another.

Yang Yu immediately spotted more than a dozen soldiers dressed in Black Battle Armor.

However, not all of them were wearing Black Battle Armor; among them was an immortal with white hair and a green robe.

The immortal smiled, a hurricane-like force lurking in his eyes, and said with a laugh:

"Welcome to the '001' Barracks Base, the First Battlefield, known as the Flesh Grinder Peak Race Meat Grinder!"

"All the World Lord will go with him, all the Domain Lord will go with this little guy, and all the Universe Level beings will go with this little girl."

The immortal god in green robes swiftly appointed three leaders.

Upon hearing this, the Universe Level, Domain Lord, and World Lord beings immediately proceeded along three different paths.

"Fellow World Lord, the World Lord Camp is just ahead," said the Black Armor Leader.

Moment.

Yang Yu and the others arrived at an elegantly decorated hall with tens of millions of seats. At a glance, there were probably hundreds of thousands of World Lord sitting there.

"How come there are so many World Lord soldiers?" Lancelot exclaimed in surprise. "According to what the Immortal just said, there are eleven Outer-Domain Battlefield, each with 100 Barracks Base. If each base has so many World Lord soldiers, how many World Lords would there be in total? When did our Human Race have so many World Lords?"

The other 100 new recruits who were also World Lord were equally shocked.

"That's normal. Among the World Lord born from humanity, only a minority are born within the territories of the various Universe Country. The real majority are born in the Universe Secret Region with vast continents and numerous immortal God Country."

Yang Yu explained briefly, "If you add all of these together, it's quite normal to have this many World Lords."

"I see." Lancelot nodded thoughtfully.

There's one more thing Yang Yu didn't mention: although the Primal Universe has the fewest humans, it's actually the place where the most immortals, Venerable, and higher-level powerhouses are born.

The vast majority of humans in those Universe Secret Region and God Country can only reach the level of becoming World Lord, and even breaking through to immortality requires a heaven-defying opportunity.

As for the Venerable?

For them, it was a pipe dream, something they would never hope for in their lifetime!

This is the fundamental reason why Peak Race wage war against each other:

Plunder more territory, and the probability of a true powerhouse emerging!

"Hi!"

At this moment, the leader shouted loudly, "The new recruits have arrived! Among them are two 'World Lord War General,' haha!"

After finishing his speech, the leader turned and left.

"World Lord War General?"

"Two more?" The World Lord had been chatting and drinking, who had initially paid no attention, all rushed over, numbering in the tens of thousands.

As the soldiers of the World Lord approached each other, their Smart Brain would prompt each other about their permissions, so the eyes of these tens of thousands of World Lord veterans instantly fell on Yang Yu and Lancelot.

"Join our Elite Squad! Our Elite Squad is led by two Immortal Spirit. You'll earn more Military Merits when you go out into battle, and you'll have a higher chance of surviving dangerous situations!" An immortal clad in Blood-colored Armor stepped forward and invited them directly.

"Nonsense, our squad is the strongest in this base!" another immortal clad in Silver Armor retorted.

"You're talking nonsense! We'll only know who's the strongest after we fight!"

"You two"

Besides the two immortals who personally invited them, other veteran World Lord lords who were not yet led by immortals were also frantically inviting Yang Yu and his companion, but they were too lazy to pay attention to the other 99 new World Lord.

A moment later.

Yang Yu and Lancelot were sitting at a dining table.

Beside him sat a burly, immortal being, seven meters tall, clad in Blood-colored Armor, his body covered in bulging muscles.

This immortal being is named Xius, and is an immortal who cultivates the Fire Origin Law.

Because this immortal was the first to arrive and personally extend an invitation, Yang Yu and his companion ultimately chose to talk to this immortal first, despite being invited by others. As for whether they would join, that was still uncertain.

Seated at other tables were seven other powerful individuals of different races and with different auras, who were chatting leisurely while observing Yang Yu and Lancelot.

They look like members of the Blood Saber Squad.
