Three Months

The remaining three Immortal God of the Qiujiahou Race fled in panic. Yang Wu didn't think much of it and ignored the other two, instead chasing directly after their leader.

In fact, if Yang Wu were to unleash his full power, he could easily catch up with and kill the enemies who fled in three different directions.

The other two were merely ordinary Immortal God; neither their military achievements nor their wealth warranted Yang Wu displaying his true strength.

After all, if Yang Wu were to display the strength of King-Level, his experience in the Blood Blade Squad would not be as harmonious as before.

At this point, it was still a long way from accumulating enough military merits to gain his freedom, and Yang Wu certainly did not want to reveal his strength too early.

Call out!

Yang Wu flashed forward and chased after the strongest leader of the Qiujiahou Race.

As for the other two, with the rest of the Blood Blade Squad present, there was no need to worry about them escaping.

"Blazing Flame Spear Technique!" Yang Wu's spear moved like a dragon.

Facing a high-ranking military commander, it wasn't worth Yang Wu unleashing his self-created Peak Ultimate Technique.

Moreover, Yang Wu's previous display of power—annihilating an Ordinary Immortal with a single spear thrust—was already astonishing enough; the even stronger leader of the Qiujiahou Race naturally couldn't continue in this manner.

The "Blazing Flame Spear Technique" is one of the top-tier secret techniques among those collected by the Nine Sword Venerable for Yang Wu.

With Yang Wu's current Law Comprehension, which has even surpassed that of the original creator of the secret technique, he is naturally able to unleash the full power of this secret technique.

Rumble!!

The Pojun Spear pierced the sky in an instant, as if it had pierced through Tiandi.

The universe seemed to merge with the Pojun Spear in Yang Wu's hand, instantly piercing the forehead of the Qiujiahou Race leader.

Peng!

The Immortal Divine Body of the Qiujiahou Race leader shattered completely.

Moment.

The Divine Body of the Qiujiahou Race leader was reconstituted, but his expression became incredibly crazed.

"Damn human, don't push me!" the leader of the Qiujiahou Race roared.

He knew very well that he had absolutely no chance of survival against Yang Wu, who possessed astonishing strength.

"Are they planning to self-destruct?" Yang Wu thought calmly.

Immediately, a dazzling spear light shot out, piercing fiercely towards the opponent once again.

The dazzling spear light swept in all directions, and the Immortal Divine Body of the Qiujiahou Race leader was shattered once again.

"You despicable human, you want to kill me? You'll pay the price!"

The leader of the Qiujiahou Race had reconstituted his Immortal Divine Body, stopped fleeing and instead charged madly towards Yang Wu.

Boom!

Just as Yang Wu's third attack was about to hit him, he actually self-destructed.

Although the leader of the Qiujiahou Race was stronger than his teammates, he was not Undying Body. Every time his Divine Body was shattered, he would lose a lot of Immortal Divine Power.

Unable to escape, he had no choice but to self-destruct!

Rumble...

The self-destruction of the Qiujiahou Race leader caused the space within thousands of kilometers to collapse completely. The impact force generated by the self-destruction was thousands of times greater than the power unleashed by a high-level military lord during normal combat.

Self-destruction is indeed the last resort for Immortal God in battle.

Once it self-destructs, all the divine power accumulated over countless years will erupt completely in an instant, severely injuring or even killing even those of the same level of strength.

Call out!

Yang Wu was about to use his movement Movement Technique to avoid the epicenter of the explosion.

Just then--

A powerful, Immortal Divine Power instantly appeared in front of Yang Wu, completely blocking the powerful explosion.

Clearly, Marquis Blood Blade, who had been watching Yang Wu's battle closely, made his move. Only Peak Marquis Level -level divine power could so easily block the self-destruction of a high-ranking military lord whose strength had not been significantly diminished.

"Captain!" Yang Wu smiled as he looked at Marquis Blood Blade.

Although the enemy's self-destruction could not harm him at all, he could understand Marquis Blood Blade's intentions.

Marquis Blood Blade exuded an astonishing murderous Evil Qi, his golden eyes fixed on Yang Wu as he laughed loudly, "Haha... Xia, well done!"

"Haha, Xia, you just faced over twenty powerful Alien Race warriors all by yourself!" The vice-captain, Storm, laughed as well. "What's even more remarkable is that you annihilated an Ordinary Immortal with a single strike. That's no easy feat; even I would find it difficult to do!"

"Indeed!" Marquis Blood Blade exclaimed in agreement, "Immortal God are very difficult to kill! If the difference in strength isn't too great, even if you can shatter their Immortal Divine Body, they can simply reassemble it! Although Ordinary Immortal don't possess the heaven-defying power of Undying Body, an Immortal Military Lord can still reassemble their Divine Body ten times without any problem! Yet you, Xia, were able to annihilate an Immortal Military Lord with a single blow. It seems your strength surpasses that of some High-level Marquis experts!"

"I'm just pretty good at attacking!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "I should thank you, Captain, for blocking the Alien Race leader's self-destruct attack for me just now!"

"Haha, that's only right!"

Marquis Blood Blade laughed heartily, then said solemnly, "However, Xia, this is also a point that needs special attention!"

"In a battle between Immortal God, if an enemy feels they cannot withstand the attack and have no way to escape, they are very likely to choose to self-destruct, just like the Alien Race just now!"

"In a one-on-one situation, if the enemy self-destructs at close range, even the side with the advantage is very likely to perish!"

"Although you, Xia, possess Undying Body, you could still lose some of your Immortal Divine Power in the face of a high-level military lord's self-destruction! That's why I've been watching your battle closely, and when I saw your opponent choose to self-destruct, I immediately stepped in to help you block it!"

Marquis Blood Blade glanced at Yang Wu, then continued, "However... I noticed you remained quite calm when facing the enemy's self-destruction, so it seems you were confident you could completely block it!"

Yang Wu smiled slightly.

Generally speaking, the self-destruction of an Immortal God can severely injure or kill a powerhouse of the same level, and even if the powerhouse is one level higher, the Divine Body will suffer some damage.

If Yang Wu were truly only a low-level Marquis Level Immortal, he would have suffered some losses when the leader of the Qiujiahou Race self-destructed.

For Yang Wu, however, the self-destruction of a high-ranking military commander posed no threat whatsoever, even if he did not react.

"I do have some life-saving skills, but I was really grateful for the captain's help just now!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Marquis Blood Blade did not ask further questions about Yang Wu's methods of self-preservation.

In his view, Yang Wu's ability to unleash such astonishing strength must be due to his extraordinary background, and it would be strange if he had no defensive measures.

"Trump cards are ultimately for saving your life; you should avoid using them in regular battles!"

Marquis Blood Blade pointed to a spot not far away and said with a smile, "You see, in normal battles, it's best to fight in groups!"

Yang Wu looked into the distance.

At this moment, the two fleeing Qiujiahou Race Immortal had been caught up by several members of the Blood Blade Squad.

Rumble...

A strong energy fluctuation came from not far away, and terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions.

The battle went smoothly.

The two escaped Qiujiahou Race Immortal were far weaker than the Blood Blade Squad, and with the Blood Blade Squad's superior numbers, they quickly shattered the enemy's Immortal Divine Body. They then each controlled a portion of the enemy's divine power to prevent them from reassembling their Immortal Divine Body.

"When several people join forces to fight an enemy, once they shatter the enemy's Immortal Divine Body, they can manipulate the Immortal Divine Power to control a portion of the enemy's Divine Body, preventing the enemy from condensing Divine Body and self-destructing!"

Marquis Blood Blade explained with a smile, "Of course, the resistance of those shattered Immortal Divine Body is also quite astonishing. It would be difficult to do it in a one-on-one situation, so it would take several people working together to suppress them and each destroy the shattered Divine Body they control."

"Look, the Assassin each take on a group, easily shattering those broken bodies and continuously depleting the enemy's Immortal Divine Power! The enemy cannot resist self-destruction and can only have their Immortal God gradually exhausted until they perish!"

"Of course, if we could have the assistance of Immortal Level plant life forms, dealing with these Army Lord Level Immortal would be much easier!"

Marquis Blood Blade sighed, "However, cultivating Immortal Level plant life is extremely difficult; I'm the only one in our team who can possess it!"

Storm, standing nearby, chimed in, "Once I've accumulated enough military merits, I'll cultivate an Immortal Level plant life form. Then, the strength of our Blood Blade Squad will increase significantly!"

Yang Wu nodded to himself.

While Immortal Level Auxiliary Life are rare for Ordinary Immortal, they are essential support tools for true powerhouses.

With the strength of Peak Marquis Level, it's perfectly normal for Marquis Blood Blade to have Immortal Level plant life form protecting him.

After all, even Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star barely managed to be Marquis, was able to cultivate the Immortal Mo Yun Vine, let alone Peak Marquis Level like Marquis Blood Blade.

Of course, cultivating Immortal Level Auxiliary Life is extremely resource-intensive, and most powerful individuals can only cultivate their Auxiliary Life to the level of high-level Immortal Military Lord or Early Marquis.

Of course, Yang Wu didn't care about any of this.

Although he did not possess Immortal Level plant life form, the Kashi he was attached to was already at the Elementary King Level!

Unfortunately, these armors conjured by Auxiliary Life can only be used one at a time, so they cannot further enhance their defense through this method.

While Yang Wu and the other two were talking, the battles at the other two locations had also quickly ended.

"Quickly gather the spoils, let's go!" Marquis Blood Blade ordered directly.

Although the Blood Blade Squad can roam freely on Lone Eagle Island, it's always better to avoid trouble!

"Yes!"

The Blood Blade Squad quickly gathered their spoils, then the group transformed into Flowing Light and departed, transferring to a spaceship and leaving at near-light speed.

Inside the lounge of F-class spaceship.

While using his Detector to survey the surroundings, Marquis Blood Blade raised his glass in celebration, saying, "Let's raise a glass and celebrate our successful annihilation of the enemy! Of course, more importantly, Xia's appearance has given us another powerful ally!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The Blood Blade Squad members were overjoyed and raised their glasses to drink it all in one gulp.

"Ha ha..."

"Xia, your strength is truly astounding! You annihilated an Immortal God with a single strike! That's terrifying!"

"Yeah, I was completely stunned when I saw Xia's attack!"

"With Xia joining us, dealing with the enemy will probably be much easier for us in the future!"

The Blood Blade Squad looked at Yang Wu with great delight.

In a dangerous and bloody battlefield like the Outer-Region Battlefield, having a strong teammate is indeed something to be happy about.

Moreover, based on the strength Yang Wu had previously demonstrated, he could even be considered the second strongest member of the Blood Blade Squad!

Whether it's the aloof 'Iceberg,' the honest 'Vajra,' or the passionate Assassin...

Everyone wholeheartedly accepted Yang Wu as their formidable teammate.

"We've reaped quite a harvest this time!" Marquis Blood Blade said with a smile, "Those Monster Race -type Alien Race left us a lot of spoils; let's all share them!"

"Xia made the greatest contribution in this battle, so Xia will be the first to choose!"

After saying that, Marquis Blood Blade handed over a World Ring.

After a battle, martial arts teams on the Outer-Region Battlefield usually collect their spoils quickly and then distribute them once it is safe to do so.

The rest of the Blood Blade Squad also looked at Yang Wu.

For them, Yang Wu's strength was already formidable, and the subsequent distribution of spoils also revealed some aspects of Yang Wu's character.

Yang Wu, holding his wine glass, casually selected a few treasures from his World Ring and said, "These are enough for me. You can choose the rest!"

Although Yang Wu is currently short of resources, he doesn't care too much about the spoils of Ordinary Immortal.

Therefore, after confirming that there were no special treasures in the World Ring, Yang Wu simply selected a few items at random, the total value of which was less than one-tenth of the spoils of war.

"It seems Xia has high standards. Then I'm next!" The Assassin smiled as he accepted the World Ring and began to choose.

Marquis Blood Blade and Storm did not participate in this battle, and the Assassin, apart from Yang Wu, made the greatest contribution.

Yang Wu was extremely powerful and didn't care about these spoils of war, so they didn't pay them much attention either.

Subsequently, the members of the Blood Blade Squad quickly distributed their spoils.

In fact, there was already an unspoken rule within the Blood Blade Squad regarding the distribution of spoils, which everyone strictly adhered to.

While the others were distributing their spoils, Yang Wu began to examine his own military achievements.

On Outer-Region Battlefield, it is necessary to activate the Virtual Universe Network for synchronous transmission during combat in order to monitor the battle and determine military merits.

"Master!" Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind. "You have gained 1.138 billion military merits!"

"1.1 billion military merits?" Yang Wu smiled slightly, "After all, it's the first military merit, not bad!"

In the recent battle, Yang Wu single-handedly killed two Immortal God and nearly twenty World Lord powerhouses. Although he didn't kill the other two Immortal, he was still somewhat involved, so it's normal that he ultimately earned so many military merits.

The one with the most military merits is the leader of the Qiujiahou Race. He is the strongest and his military merits amount to a total of one billion.

1.1 billion military merits, converted into more than 10,000 Hunyuan Unit, are comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary Immortal God.

After the celebration ended, Marquis Blood Blade said with a smile, "We've already witnessed Xia's strength. Personally, I think we don't need to waste any more time on Lone Eagle Island!"

"Yes, Captain, let's get to the Main Continent as soon as possible!"

"That's what I think too. The density of strong individuals on Lone Eagle Island is far too low. I'm afraid we might not even encounter a suitable opponent in a month!"

"Xia, what do you think?" Marquis Blood Blade looked at Yang Wu and asked with a smile.

Yang Wu is now considered the second strongest member of the Blood Blade Squad, so his advice is naturally quite important.

"I've long wanted to venture out to the Main Continent!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

He had very little wealth left, so naturally he didn't want to waste his time here.

"Alright, let's head straight to the Main Continent!" Marquis Blood Blade said with a smile.

After making the decision, Yang Wu and the others immediately changed direction, and the spaceship headed directly towards the Main Continent.

However, Lone Eagle Island is quite far from the Main Continent, and it would take a considerable amount of time to reach Main Continent without entering the Dark Universe.

While traveling, the Blood Blade Squad also used Detector to observe the situation along the way. When they encountered suitable targets, they would naturally take action to accumulate military merits.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the Blood Blade Squad had already arrived at the Main Continent of the Yanji Continent.

After arriving on the Main Continent, the number of battles indeed increased.

During this period, the Blood Blade Squad carefully avoided strong enemies, and when they found a suitable target, they would take action and quickly withdraw after the battle.

Over the course of three months, the Blood Blade Squad experienced more than ten battles.

With Yang Wu's addition, the Blood Blade Squad became even more adept at handling these battles.

However, facing the endless stream of powerful Alien Race warriors on the Outer-Region Battlefield, the Blood Blade Squad still encountered several dangerous battles.

"Xia, I owe you one too!" In the spaceship's lounge, the tall and slender Dark Moon said with a look of relief, "If it weren't for your help just now, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured if not killed!"

Dark Moon is the only Spiritual Master in the Blood Blade Squad, making her relatively safe during normal combat.

Unexpectedly, when they were dealing with an Ordinary Immortal, the opponent suddenly took out a 'Fire God Source Crystal' worth nearly a million Hunyuan Unit!

At that time, Marquis Blood Blade was fighting the enemy leader in the distance and had no time to support Dark Moon.

Once the Fire God Source Crystal explodes, even if Dark Moon doesn't perish, his Immortal Divine Body will definitely be severely injured!

But at this critical moment, Yang Wu suddenly unleashed astonishing speed, defeating the enemy before he could activate the Fire God Source Crystal!

"We're all teammates, it's only right that I saved you! If you really want to thank me, just have a drink with me later!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

In the battle just now, Marquis Blood Blade and Storm were indeed caught off guard. If Yang Wu hadn't intervened, Dark Moon would very likely have perished in the explosion of the Fire God Source Crystal. Even if she hadn't died, her Immortal Divine Body would have been severely injured, requiring thousands of years to recover.

"Hahaha..." The other team members all laughed as well.

Since Yang Wu joined the Blood Blade Squad, their battles have indeed become much easier.

"Xia's speed was truly astonishing!"

Marquis Blood Blade sighed from the side, "Even if I unleash my full power, I'm afraid I still can't compare to Xia!"

"Haha, Xia Yue is amazing, and our team is amazing too!" The Assassin said with a laugh as he sat on the sofa.

After months of getting along and more than ten life-or-death battles, Yang Wu had become completely familiar with the Blood Blade Squad.

However, Yang Wu remained quite mysterious to the Blood Blade Squad.

Whether it was the strength comparable to the Peak Marquis Level, or the astonishing defense and speed, they had never seen anything like it in an Early Marquis Immortal before.

In the past ten or so battles, even Marquis Blood Blade's Immortal Divine Body had been shattered by the enemy, but Yang Wu alone had always remained unscathed.

Compared to that, the astonishing burst speed is nothing.

However, the Blood Blade Squad did not investigate Yang Wu's secrets. After all, Yang Wu had an extraordinary background, so it was perfectly normal for him to have some powerful methods.

With such a powerful member in the Blood Blade Squad, they are naturally safer.

Just as everyone was celebrating happily, Yang Wu asked in his mind, "Chi Yan, how many military merits do I have now?"

"Master, including the military merits you just gained in battle, the total is now 12.956 billion military merits!" Chi Yan replied.

"Too slow!" Yang Wu shook his head inwardly. "At this rate, who knows when I'll ever accumulate a trillion military merits and gain my freedom!"

In fact, Yang Wu's speed in accumulating military merits was already astonishing.

Even Marquis Blood Blade, the captain Peak Marquis Level, has accumulated less military merit than him during this period.

In the meantime, Yang Wu has either dealt with high-ranking military leaders alone or fought alongside Marquis Blood Blade and Storm against enemies at the Early Marquis, which is how he has accumulated so many military merits.

For other powerful individuals, accumulating over 10 billion military merits in just a few months is already an incredibly astonishing speed.

For Yang Wu, however, these military achievements were a far cry from the one trillion military merits that would grant him his freedom.

"No, this can't go on!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "The resources in the Time Palace are about to be exhausted. Even with military merits, I've only obtained less than a million Hunyuan Unit during this time. It's simply impossible to continue maintaining the operation of the Time Palace!"

"Without leaving the team, this current speed is already the limit!"

"I'll wait another month. If I don't encounter a suitable opponent within this month, then I'll guide the Blood Blade Squad to actively search for one!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Actually, it's quite simple to complete the military merit quota assigned by the Army System.

Whether it's killing a single Peak Marquis Level or ten high-level Immortal at the High-level Marquis, it's not a difficult task for Yang Wu.

But the most important point is that you simply can't encounter them.

During this period, the Blood Blade Squad encountered two Alien Race squads led by High-level Marquis, but they avoided them both times.

After all, although the Blood Blade Squad is powerful, if they were to forcibly deal with High-level Marquis, they would undoubtedly pay a huge price, and some of them might even perish.

Therefore, the Blood Blade Squad would certainly not invite trouble, let alone Peak Marquis Level expert who is even more powerful!
