Battlefield

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"We'll be near the Yanji Continent in half a day!"

Captain Marquis Blood Blade swept his gaze across the team members, his voice stern. "The Yanji Continent is the highest-level combat zone within the entire Barracks Base No. 026 area, fraught with danger and extremely perilous. No one can afford to be careless!"

"Don't worry, Captain!" the other team members replied in unison.

Marquis Blood Blade suddenly looked at Yang Wu and continued, "Xia, you're a newcomer, so you probably don't know much about the Yanji Continent. Let me give you a brief introduction!"

Yang Wu listened attentively.

Although he had already gained some understanding of the Yanji Continent through the Virtual Universe, he was still very interested in the introduction of Marquis Blood Blade.

After all, Marquis Blood Blade has been roaming the Yanji Continent for a long time without getting hurt!

"The Yanji Continent is divided into the Main Continent and numerous land fragments floating around it. You can see the markings on the Star Map; that Main Continent is Yanji Continent 0001, with a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years."

Marquis Blood Blade smiled and explained, "Around the Main Continent, there are thousands of land fragments floating. Although they are called fragments, the smallest one is still hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter! Such massive land fragments naturally harbor many powerful Alien Races, making them ideal battlefields for the strong."

"We usually operate on the Main Continent, but Main Continent. Every team is led by Marquis-level Immortal God, and there are even some King Rank Immortal God. It's extremely dangerous. Xia, you've just joined, and we don't yet know your exact strength. Therefore, we plan to head to island number 3567, which is also known by countless powerful individuals as 'Lone Eagle Island'."

"Lone Eagle Island is a relatively large island. According to some powerful members of our faction on Lone Eagle Island, there are about thirty Marquis-level Immortal beings on the island, making it a good training ground! It's not too late to head to the Main Continent after we've developed a better teamwork!"

"Captain, I understand!" Yang Wu nodded.

Yang Wu knew very well that with the strength of the 'Blood Blade Squad,' they usually operated on the Main Continent of the Yanji Continent. But now that a new recruit like him had joined, it was natural to test his strength in advance.

In the Outer-Region Battlefield, the most important point is to prevent battles from lasting too long!

If the battle drags on, it's highly likely that other powerful Alien Race races will arrive, and if we get surrounded and attacked, we'll be in big trouble.

Therefore, testing Yang Wu's strength on the Main Continent, where powerful individuals abound, is naturally inappropriate. The surrounding islands are a different story. With the strength of the Blood Blade Squad, plus some allies within the Human Faction, they don't need to worry too much even if they encounter an attack on the surrounding islands.

Therefore, the Blood Blade Squad decided to go to Lone Eagle Island first, actually to get a general understanding of Yang Wu's strength and to let Yang Wu experience some low-risk battles so that he could better adapt to the rhythm of the Outer-Region Battlefield.

"Then we'll see what you're capable of, Xia," Bewitch said softly.

She sat on the soft sofa, a hint of anticipation flickering in her purple eyes.

"I also want to see just how strong this newcomer is, who has been rated as having a trillion military merits by the Virtual Universe System!" The Assassin from the Winged Race folded his wings and sat down on the sofa to start drinking.

Everyone else looked at Yang Wu, some with anticipation, others with doubt.

Yang Wu smiled slightly, not paying too much attention.

Half a day later, the spaceship made its Cosmic Shuttle and finally arrived at the shuttle point near the Yanji Continent.

"Be careful, everyone, don't be careless!"

As soon as the spaceship returned to the Primal Universe, Marquis Blood Blade in the lounge reminded everyone, "We still need about six more days to reach our target area. We may encounter powerful Alien Race races at any time along the way, and battles could break out at any moment!"

"Don't worry, Captain!" the ape-man giant Vajra said with a smile, "I've been wanting to start accumulating military merits for a long time!"

The Assassin walked up to Yang Wu and said with a smile, "Xia, you don't need to be too nervous. With the strength of our team, the chances of encountering danger here are very low!"

Yang Wu smiled and nodded.

He felt no tension; all he felt was joy.

"Finally, my journey on the Outer-Region Battlefield begins!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Marquis Blood Blade continued, "Although we have quite advanced detection equipment, making the probability of being ambushed very low, if the enemy's Detector are even more advanced, they could very well be able to sneak up and launch a surprise attack!"

Therefore, always be careful and vigilant.

"Understood," everyone nodded in agreement.

The F-class spaceship cautiously moved forward at sub-light speed through the void, carefully avoiding any floating debris it encountered.

Six days later.

Yang Wu and his group finally arrived at their destination, Lone Eagle Island.

The spaceship was currently flying over a massive island. Through the external simulation, Yang Wu could see at a glance a vast and boundless continent in the distant starry sky. Around that massive continent, there were also a large number of huge fragmented continents.

"Haha, we've finally arrived!"

"Captain, the last time we came to Lone Eagle Island was when the Assassin had just joined, wasn't it? In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed!"

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, I've been on the Outer-Region Battlefield for over two thousand years!" the Assassin exclaimed. "I wonder when I'll be able to master 'Undying Body' and reach the Marquis level!"

The members of the Blood Blade Squad stood in the lounge, looking down at the vast continent below through an exterior simulation.

"Legend has it that before the Yanji Continent became Outer-Region Battlefield, it was originally the homeland of an ordinary race in the universe, the 'Yanji Race'."

Marquis Blood Blade sighed from the side, "Afterwards, the four major clans opened up the Seventh Battlefield, and some powerful figures swept through many surrounding areas. The native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent were simply unable to resist and all fled in panic. Many natives didn't even have time to escape and were slaughtered!"

"During this period, numerous powerful figures from the Four Peak Races directly shattered the Yanji Continent, creating many fragments. This vast landmass, born from the Cosmic Secret Realm, is incredibly hard; even a full-force attack from World Lord Level expert could not cause much damage, making it a natural battlefield for countless powerful individuals."

"Now, billions of years have passed, and these fragments of the continent have undergone countless battles, breaking apart time and again, to form the Main Continent and thousands of island fragments we see today!"

"Haha!" the Assassin beside him laughed and said, "I once heard my teacher say that the most famous treasure on the Yanji Continent is the 'Sacrificial Tower Treasure.' I heard that each Sacrificial Tower is a large survival base for the native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent, and many of their treasures are kept in the Sacrificial Tower. But back then, the many powerful figures from the Four Peak Races acted too quickly, and many of the natives failed to escape. The lost Sacrificial Tower Treasure were scattered in various areas of the Yanji Continent."

"Throughout the history of the Yanji Continent, powerful figures have discovered Sacrificial Tower Treasure. If our team were to find one, we'd be truly rich!"

"Throughout countless ages, only a dozen or so Sacrificial Tower have been discovered on the Yanji Continent!" Marquis Blood Blade said with a smile. "Moreover, with the strength of our team, even if we discovered the Sacrificial Tower Treasure, we simply couldn't handle it. Once discovered, we would only face certain death!"

"The captain is right!" Vice-captain Storm echoed, "'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!' We should forget about the Sacrificial Tower Treasure and focus on hunting down powerful Alien Race beings!"

Upon hearing about the Sacrificial Tower Treasure, Yang Wu's heart stirred as well.

The treasures Sacrificial Tower Treasure are quite valuable; if he could find one, he could obtain a considerable fortune.

Unfortunately, the Sacrificial Tower is quite special; even the divine power of Universe Venerable cannot detect it, so he has no better solution.

The Blood Blade Squad did not need to rest, so the spaceship continued to fly at sub-light speed over Lone Eagle Island.

"Lone Eagle Island has a maximum diameter of 90 million kilometers. Although it harbors many enemies, finding a suitable one is not easy!"

Marquis Blood Blade laughed and said, "We'll fly over Lone Eagle Island at sub-light speed while using Detector to scan the surroundings. I think we'll find a suitable target soon!"

"Captain, this Detector cost a trillion military merits to acquire; it's incredibly valuable!" Storm said with a smile. "We've been able to navigate these Outer-Region Battlefield all these years thanks to your Detector, which has kept us safe despite the dangers!"

After completing your military merit quota, you can use your military merit to exchange for various treasures you need.

Generally speaking, 100,000 military merits can be exchanged for one Hunyuan Unit.

The Marquis Blood Blade's Detector cost one trillion military merits, which is roughly equivalent to ten million in Hunyuan Unit. It is completely comparable to the entire fortune of an Early Marquis Immortal God.

Even someone like Yang Wu's teacher, Jinguang Marquis, probably didn't have such a high value because his breakthrough to Immortal was too short.

Of course, while Marquis Blood Blade's Detector was already considered precious, it was insignificant compared to the Detector that Yang Wu had prepared himself.

To ensure his safety after arriving at the Outer-Region Battlefield, Yang Wu redeemed two Detector, one large and one small, from the Virtual Universe Company's treasury.

Even with his 60% discount, he still spent 1.5 billion points.

Even if the Outer-Region Battlefield merit exchange system didn't have such a precious Detector, it would probably take trillions of military merits to exchange for it.

In fact, the reason why the five major powers of the Human Race strictly control the outflow of various treasures is to increase the enthusiasm of human powerhouses to participate in extraterritorial wars.

Want better treasures? Want more resources?

Go to the Outer-Region Battlefield, and you'll find everything you need!

The military merit exchange system on the Outer-Region Battlefield is the largest channel for countless powerful individuals from various Cosmic Nation. Some treasures, because they come from other races in the universe, may not even be found in the treasure vaults of the Virtual Universe Company!

"While we are detecting Alien Race enemies, if their Detector are also sophisticated, they will detect our probes as well!"

Marquis Blood Blade chuckled and said, "Of course, such situations usually only occur among experts of the same level, or among some incredibly wealthy Machine Race experts. The Machine Race's technology is the most advanced among the Four Peak Races. As for other Alien Race, even Peak Marquis Level might not be able to detect my detection!"

Marquis Blood Blade said with absolute confidence, "I'm afraid they won't react until we launch our attack!"

In Outer-Region Battlefield, initiative remains crucial.

As long as the Detector can find the enemy's tracks, both attacking and retreating will be much easier.

If the Detector fails to detect the enemy and is suddenly attacked, it will undoubtedly put oneself in danger.

The spaceship kept moving forward.

With the detectors purchased by Marquis Blood Blade, Yang Wu and his group were able to easily grasp the situation within a radius of 100 million kilometers.

Suddenly...

"Captain, there are battle fluctuations 30 million kilometers to the left front!" the 'Iceberg' said coldly.

"Oh? It's a battle between powerful figures from other factions—a Marquis Level Immortal from the Zerg Race and an Ordinary Immortal from the Machine Race. It looks like that Ordinary Immortal is about to self-destruct!" Marquis Blood Blade said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would encounter a Marquis-level Immortal so soon after arriving at Lone Eagle Island!"

"Captain, should we go over there?" Vice-Captain Storm asked.

"Forget it!" Marquis Blood Blade shook his head and said, "Judging from the aura emanating from that Zerg Race expert, he should have already reached the High-level Marquis. Even if our team could take him down, we would suffer heavy losses. Moreover, he might have other helpers with him. It's better not to provoke him!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu thought to himself, "It seems I need to regain my freedom and act alone as soon as possible, otherwise, at the current rate of wealth accumulation, the Time Palace will cease to function!"

Following the Blood Blade Squad, even high-ranking Immortal High-level Marquis would give way, making it impossible to accumulate much wealth.

Moreover, with so many people around, if he were to unleash too much power, it might bring unnecessary danger to others.

Perhaps noticing Yang Wu's expression, the Assassin smiled and said, "Xia, even on the Main Continent, our team can only handle Early Marquis Immortal at most, and they're very difficult to kill. So, your one trillion military merits will probably take tens of thousands of years to accumulate!"

Yang Wu understood the concerns of the Blood Blade Squad.

With Marquis Blood Blade's strength, without burning his Immortal Divine Power, he could at most kill a high-level Immortal Military Lord on his own, and with the help of others, he could barely deal with Early Marquis.

However, if they were to fight a high-level Immortal like High-level Marquis, even if they were able to kill the opponent, if the opponent were to self-destruct, then apart from Marquis Blood Blade and Vice-Captain Storm, everyone else would likely be in danger!

Even if they don't perish, they'll at least be severely injured.

On their second day on Lone Eagle Island, the Blood Blade Squad finally found a suitable target.

"Target spotted!"

"We've detected the fluctuations of four Immortal God, nearly twenty World Lord, 72.36 million kilometers away from us!" Vice Captain Storm said with a smile.

"Four Immortal God? No problem at all!" said Poison, shrouded in a black robe.

"We still need to be careful!" the icy-faced Iceberg said calmly, "None of the Immortal God who dare to operate on the Yanji Continent are easy to deal with. I reckon they have some tricks up their sleeves!"

"Even if they have trump cards, they're no match for us!" the Assassin laughed. "I've been bored to death without a fight for so long, let's start with these few!"

"Then let's attack them!" Marquis Blood Blade gave the order directly, thus deciding the fate of that Alien Race squad.

With the Blood Blade Squad's strength, facing four Immortal God would indeed be no problem.

The spaceship then began to turn and decelerate, slowly flying towards its target.

Before long, Yang Wu and his group closed the distance to less than a million kilometers.

"Spaceship slows down, comes to a temporary stop."

"We've detected the target's exact appearance. This is the entire squad; take a close look!"

With a wave of his hand, Marquis Blood Blade conjured a massive screen in mid-air, displaying images alongside detailed information such as height and skin color.

On the screen were more than twenty powerful figures from Alien Race. Although there were men and women, and their appearances varied, it was clear that they all belonged to the same race.

When it rains, it pours; I spilled water on my computer while taking my medicine...

With the new computer, all the input method information from before is gone. I have to start typing all over again from scratch, even for familiar words.
