Yang Yu looked out into the Void.

With Yang Yu's eyesight, he could see countless shattered Zerg corpses, broken spaceship wreckage, and human remains at a glance.

Lancelot, the newcomer Ape Man, also looked on curiously, then asked doubtfully, "These remains, corpses, and so on, must be valuable, right?"

"No one is an idiot." A deep voice came from the throat of the Dragon Man Race World Lord, Luo Sen.

"The spaceship's detection signals have already scanned the area. Those wreckage and corpses floating in the Void are worthless. If they were valuable, they would have been stolen long ago. If they weren't stolen, then they might actually be a trap."

"Lancelot, have you noticed that our spaceship isn't traveling in a straight line, but rather avoiding land debris and large spaceship wreckage?"

Lancelot's eyes lit up; that was indeed the case.

"Because those places are likely to harbor Alien Race enemies. You need to understand, the entire First Battlefield Star Domain, apart from Barracks Base, is a battlefield," Luo Sen said in a low voice. "Don't let our relaxed demeanor fool you; every one of us is ready to fight immediately."

"Alright, stop scaring the recruits." Captain Xius smiled.

"Our destination this time is an Ancient Continent Fragment about 85,000 light-years away from Barracks Base No. 001. This continental fragment, called 'Death God,' is a place where many powerful beings fight fiercely, making it very suitable for our elite World Lord team to venture into."

Xius waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

What was displayed was a vast and enormous continent, with countless scattered fragments of planets drifting in the sky above it.

"We'll soon arrive at a specific region of space where there's no debris or trash, allowing us to accelerate to the Light Speed for Universe Shuttle. Once we enter the Dark Universe, we'll be safe and can rest. We'll have three days to rest while navigating the Dark Universe. After we reach our destination, a bloody and dangerous battle will ensue."

Yang Yu nodded.

The Universe Secret Region is different from the normal Starry Sky. There is too much dust and debris, so a large area must be deliberately cleared to allow for accelerated Universe Shuttle without any obstacles.

In the 'First Star Domain Battlefield', there are hundreds of millions of such 'Universe Shuttle Point'.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The spaceship avoided some dangerous areas as much as possible, and soon arrived at the cleared area.

However, even at such a short distance, Yang Yu witnessed several powerful energy bombardments and explosions. The other World Lord War General were all on edge, knowing that a battle could break out at any moment.

"Once we enter the Dark Universe, we don't need to be so tense anymore," Xius said with a smile.

It flew for four days in the Dark Universe, and then Universe Shuttle.

"Everyone be careful, don't be careless!" Xius shouted in the lounge, pointing to a Void outside where there was no debris to obstruct the view.

"It will take more than three months to fly from this cleared area to our destination, but during these three months, we will be flying through various dangerous places, and battles could break out at any time."

"Yes, Captain!"

Kahn and the others responded seriously upon hearing this.

Even Yang Yu and Lancelot became serious.

Although Yang Yu's Purple Battle Suit was made of Marquis Level Moyun Vine, the inner part of it was an even more Supreme Treasure Set.

However, if one is not careful, there is still a slight danger in the event of an attack from a powerful immortal.

There is no absolute safety when you are on Outer-Domain Battlefield your territory.

"By the way, Leidian, Lancelot, how much Military Merits have the army assigned to you this time?" Captain Xius asked, swirling his wine glass.

"Yes, yes, you two are both World Lord War General, your Military Merits must be quite high." The alluring snake woman in Luyi looked at Yang Yu and the other woman curiously.

The other team members also looked over curiously upon hearing this.

"My Military Merits merit is 300 million." Suddenly being stared at by so many people, all of whom were strong enough to rival him, Lancelot said nervously.

"Tsk tsk, 300 million in credits right after joining the army, that's pretty impressive." Vice Captain Kahn looked at Lancelot with admiration. "With more training, Lancelot, your future is limitless!"

"Hey-hey."

"What about you, Leidian?"

"My Military Merits total 1 billion," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"1 billion!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Yu, their eyes filled with shock. They had thought that Yang Yu's Military Merits were at most similar to Lancelot's.

Yang Yu, on the other hand, remained very calm.

"One billion is the upper limit for World Lord War General. Anyone who is given such a high Military Merits merit... means that you, Leidian, possess strength no weaker than an ordinary Immortal."

Xius exclaimed with delight, "The evaluation system of the Virtual Universe is absolutely infallible! That means our team now has four immortal Combat Power. We're definitely going to make a killing this time!"

"Haha, that's right, the captain is really smart, otherwise such excellent recruits as Leidian and Lancelot might have been taken by other squads," Kahn said happily.

The other squad members were also very happy. With strong teammates, their safety would be greatly increased when fighting powerful enemies, and they could also earn Military Merits much faster.

Seeing the Blood Saber Squad's excitement, Yang Yu remained calm. "1 billion is just the limit for World Lord War General. The Virtual Universe Company's Military Merits merit quota is 100 trillion!"

Only after accumulating 100 trillion Military Merits can Yang Yu leave the Outer-Domain Battlefield; this is a test of life and death!

Even for Peerless Genius like Yang Yu, who had already conquered the World Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, it was a life-or-death ordeal.

"By the way, Captain, how are the Military Merits rewards for killing Alien Race calculated?" Yang Yu asked with a smile.

"Since I have some free time now, I'll take this opportunity to give you and Lancelot a little crash course."

Xius put down his glass and said:

"A solo kill of Ordinary World Lord Warrior will be rewarded with 100,000 Military Merits. A solo kill of Elite World Lord Warrior will be rewarded with 1,000,000 Military Merits. A solo kill of World Lord War General will be rewarded with 10,000,000 Military Merits."

"If it's Combined Attack several people, the Virtual Universe System will distribute Military Merits according to combat contributions. The rewards for Alien Race at the World Lord stage are at this level; the real bulk of the rewards come from killing Alien Race immortals."

"How much is the reward for killing an Immortal?" Lancelot's eyes lit up.

"Haha, Lancelot, don't be in such a hurry," Xius laughed, then continued his introduction.

"Immortal Spirit can be roughly divided into three levels: Immortal Army Lord, Marquis, and King-level. Those who reach the Marquis level generally achieve 'Undying Body.' Once Undying Body is achieved, the Spiritual Mark is integrated into every cell. Even if they are shattered, as long as a fragment remains, they can be perfectly resurrected. Therefore, killing Marquis-level Immortal is extremely difficult."

Xius said, "And obviously, the 'Immortal Army Lord,' who doesn't have Undying Body, is the easiest to kill."

Yang Yu nodded upon hearing this.

Xius continued:

"Therefore, killing Immortal Army Lord grants the least Military Merits, and it is only divided into two levels: 100 million Military Merits for a low-level Immortal Army Lord and 1 billion Military Merits for a high-level Immortal Army Lord."

"The Marquis Level and King Level are each divided into three levels."

In:

"Killing Early Marquis 10 billion Military Merits. Killing High-level Marquis grants 100 billion Military Merits. Killing Peak Marquis grants 1 trillion Military Merits."

"Killing Initial King 10 trillion Military Merits. Killing King High-level 100 trillion Military Merits. Killing King Limit 1000 trillion Military Merits!"

Xius finished speaking in one breath. As a veteran Army Lord who had spent many years on the Outer-Domain Battlefield and knew many Immortal Spirit, he obviously knew a lot of information.

"Tsk tsk, that means Brother Leidian would have to kill a High-ranking Army Lord with similar strength to the captain, or ten low-level Army Lord immortals, to accumulate 1 billion Military Merits," Lancelot said in shock.

"Hahaha." The others laughed along with him, and the lounge was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Clearly, they didn't think Yang Yu could really kill High-ranking Army Lord immortal; perhaps he still had a chance against the most ordinary one.

Completing this task will naturally take a considerable amount of time.

Seeing that everyone was laughing happily, Yang Yu didn't say anything more.

After all, it is extremely difficult for World Lord to kill an immortal, and among the Human Race, only geniuses from the five Super Force have a better chance of doing so.

As for the 1 billion Military Merits, Yang Yu doesn't know how long it would take to complete it if he only hunted down those Alien Race World Lord, since Alien Race World Lord are not as common as cabbages and can be encountered easily.

Not to mention the additional tasks assigned by the Virtual Universe Company.

"This is clearly a ploy to send me to kill an immortal, and a powerful one at that!" Yang Yu thought to himself.

"One hundred trillion Military Merits means needing to kill one High-level King, or ten Elementary Kings, one hundred Peak Marquis, or one thousand High-level Marquis."

"The Virtual Universe Company has really gone mad this time, actually demanding that I kill so many powerful immortals. No wonder my master couldn't help but bestow upon me Supreme Treasure Set."

Thinking of the 'stingy' Chaos City Lord in the Original Work, who unexpectedly bestowed such a precious treasure this time, Yang Yu knew that the life-and-death trials in this Outer-Domain Battlefield were destined to be extraordinary.

To kill so many immortals as a World Lord, and even then, they had to be at least Marquis-level Immortal, the Chaos City Lord was quite anxious if he didn't provide his disciple with some good equipment.

"Kill them, kill them!" A madness flickered in Yang Yu's eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

Because of the existence of the Soul Devour Secret Technique, Yang Yu is destined to embark on a bloody and insane path of hunting.

Completing the so-called Military Merits tasks was just a side job.

Even without so many Military Merits missions, Yang Yu would still show no mercy in killing Alien Race!

While Yang Yu and his group were chatting idly as they traveled,

A dark blue spaceship, tens of millions of kilometers away from Yang Yu and his group, was also flying in this Void.

A male creature, six meters tall, covered in dark blue scales and topped with a massive bear head, was gulping down a glass of fruit wine with its huge, sharp claws outstretched.

Beside it was a creature that looked almost exactly like it, but a smaller one; both of them faintly emanated fluctuations of the Lightning Law.

It was the Blue Scale Race, a branch of the Monster Race.

"Big brother, the Biological Spaceship is ready and can set off to hunt at any time!" said the smaller Blue Scale Race Immortal.

"Hmm, half a month of rest should be enough. Let's search for prey in the surrounding area and begin the hunt!"

"Yes, Captain!"

In the control room, the other 20 fellow World Lord responded loudly. Each of these Blue Scale Race World Lord had Law Mark their eyebrows, was about 3 meters tall, and exuded a remarkable aura.

Then, the most powerful Blue Scale Race Monster Race World Lord began to control a rather exquisite-looking detector to search for spaceships within a one-light-year radius.

A moment later.

"Beep beep beep~"

A crisp sound of the detector rising rang out.

"Captain, we have detected three Alien Race spaceships within a one-light-year radius. Two of them are emitting the fluctuations of three immortal laws, and one of them contains two immortals."

"Not bad, we've found three targets right away. But three Immortal squads are not to be trifled with. Let's start with the squad with two Immortals. Bryce, turn the ship around and fly over there!"

"Captain Yannos gave the order."

"Yes, sir!" Vice-Captain Bryce replied.

Just as the dark blue spaceship was flying towards them, Yang Yu's large detector detected it, but Xius and the others did not react at all.

Clearly, the detectors equipped on this Monster Race ship are better than those of the Blood Saber Squad.

"An immortal Monster Race?" A cold glint flashed deep in Yang Yu's eyes. "I'll use you as practice in my first battle."

However, Yang Yu did not intend to remind them. This Monster Race Squad was not a threat to Xius and the others, especially with him there as well.

The crimson spaceship sailed silently.

Suddenly.

"Boom!!!"

A fierce Leidian, a ball of Immortal Divine Power, struck the spaceship. The hull, made of E9 Grade alloy, instantly disintegrated, and the Rest Cabin, made of F9-grade Metal, were also tossed about by the powerful energy.

"Enemy attack!" Xius reacted instantly, unleashing powerful, fiery red divine energy to stabilize the Rest Cabin. "Prepare for battle!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Even without Xius's reminder, the veteran members of the Blood Saber Squad had already entered full combat mode the moment they were attacked.

Yang Yu and Lancelot seemed to be a step behind.

"Hahaha, it's actually the most delicious human being!"

The enormous, eerie demon Monster Race immortal Yannos, spoke broken human Common Language with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"Damn it, it's the Royal Race Blue Scale Race of the Monster Race, and they outnumber them!"

Kahn, the vice-captain of the Blood Saber Squad, frowned as he released Water Blue Law Domain to cover the battlefield, protecting the two illusionists in the team while dealing with any unexpected situations.

In Outer-Domain Battlefield, humanity is usually outnumbered.

"Everyone, prepare to go all out!" Xius' aura surged, his Blood Colored Armor glowed with a blinding light, his Flame Law Domain appeared with a roar, and a Blood Colored War Blade appeared in his right hand at the same time.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

At the same moment, two Monster Race immortals, only tens of thousands of kilometers away from Yang Yu and the others, also unleashed their Lightning Law Domain, pressing down with Thunder force.

Fighting.

It's about to explode!

"Kill!!!"

"Kill them all, eat them!"

The two sides were evenly matched in terms of the Law Domain, and the Blood Saber Squad even seemed to have a slight advantage because of Kahn's expertise in support arcane Secret Technique.

The speed of the 20 World Lord of the Blue Scale Race was clearly affected.

This is actually good news for the Blood Saber Squad.

However, in battles at the Immortal Level, the Law Domain only plays a supporting role and cannot be decisive.

In a combat situation, the two sides could clash instantly across a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.

The two immortal Monster Race attacked Xius and Kahn respectively.

The remaining 20 Blue Scale Race World Lord then surrounded Yang Yu and his group.

"Boom boom boom!"

Purple, red, blue, and other colors of divine power and World Power shimmered in the Void.

It tore open long Space Rift.

Yang Yu, on the other hand, calmly used his Thunder Body Technique, controlling his speed as he hovered along the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
