The Yan God Race Clone (A Belated New Year's Greeting)
As the spaceship gradually disappeared from sight, the members of the Blood Blade Squad felt a pang of unease.
"Xia has left!" Marquis Blood Blade said with utmost seriousness, "Although Limit King Level expert can be our backer, he can also bring us immense danger! Therefore, before leaving the Outer-Region Battlefield, we must not reveal our relationship with Xia!"
"Yes, Captain!" the Blood Blade Squad members replied quickly.
Having spent years navigating Outer-Region Battlefield, they are certainly not fools.
If their relationship with Xia were exposed, Xia's enemies might come looking for trouble.
It would be better to keep it hidden until a real crisis occurs, then ask Xia for help.
"Alright, we've had enough to eat and drink this time, let's head back to our rest area!"
After speaking, Marquis Blood Blade ordered the spaceship to fly in a different direction.
In the control room of the F-class spaceship, Yang Wu sat on a comfortable sofa, slowly sipping a glass of fruit wine.
With the valuable Detector at his disposal, he had no need to worry about being ambushed by enemies on the Outer-Region Battlefield.
After all, even if large Detector cannot detect the enemy's tracks, small Detector can still detect the enemy's probes.
"The resources I had before were almost exhausted, but now I have a lot more!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
Leaving aside his previous accumulations, the Fear-Gold Hou, who was at the Peak Marquis Level, alone provided him with one trillion military merits and nearly fifty million Hunyuan Unit.
Although it's not a huge amount, it's enough to keep the Time Palace running for a while.
Moreover, as time goes by, the speed at which he accumulates wealth will increase, and he may soon be able to make the Time Palace operate at an even higher time flow rate.
Yang Wu was filled with anticipation.
With the existence of the Time Simulator, the faster the flow of time within the Time Palace, the faster his strength will naturally increase.
"Master, there's mail!"
Suddenly, Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.
"Hmm?" Yang Wu was somewhat puzzled, then ordered, "Project the message!"
Strong individuals on Outer-Region Battlefield, unless they are in deep seclusion, generally maintain a connection to the Virtual Universe by sending a wisp of their consciousness out.
For the strong, such a thing is far too simple. Moreover, during battle, they must activate Virtual Universe synchronous teleportation to monitor the battle and record military achievements!
Soon, a series of messages appeared on the virtual screen in front of Yang Wu; it was an email sent by the Army System.
"Soldier Yang Wu, you have successfully completed your military merit quota and left the unit. You now have two new options."
"One: Continue fighting on the Outer-Region Battlefield; Two: Retire and leave the Outer-Region Battlefield!"
"I choose to continue fighting!" Yang Wu said immediately.
He was far from achieving his goal of coming to the Outer-Region Battlefield, so naturally he could not leave now.
After receiving Yang Wu's reply, the military withdrawal system for the Outer-Region Battlefield quickly sent another email.
"Now that you are a free person, you have gained the right to use military merits to 'exchange for treasures,' or you can directly exchange military merits for money. Every 100,000 military merits can be exchanged for 1 Hunyuan Unit. Considering that you are Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, you can also exchange military merits for points used internally by the Virtual Universe Company. Every 100,000 military merits can be exchanged for 1 point."
"You choose to continue fighting."
"First, you are free to act on your own."
"Second, you can choose to lead an army and act according to the Army System's deployment. This way, you can receive an additional 50% reward when you earn military merits."
Please make a choice!
"I choose the first option, alone!" Yang Wu didn't hesitate at all. He had just left an elite team like the Blood Blade Squad, so naturally he had no interest in leading an army into battle again.
"Recorded. Soldier Yang Wu, you are now a free soldier in the Seventh Battlefield, enjoying many rights. Of course, you can also apply to lead troops into battle at any time." After recording Yang Wu's information, the Outer-Region Battlefield Army System immediately disconnected.
"Next, my real journey on the Outer-Region Battlefield will begin!" Yang Wu sat on the comfortable sofa in the control room, downed the fruit wine in his glass in one gulp, and looked down at the vast Yanji Continent through the exterior simulation.
With the detection range of the large Detector that Yang Wu carries with him, he can detect the powerful Alien Race squads at any time.
When he was with the Blood Blade Squad, he couldn't move freely, but now that he's alone, Yang Wu naturally wants to take care of his opponent easily.
"Next, we'll have to rely on the Yan God Race Clone as the main force!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
"Firstly, it allows the Yan God Race Clone to fuse with more Xueluo Crystal, and even evolve its own Life Gene Level."
"Secondly, the Yan God Race Lineage entered the Outer-Region Battlefield and joined the Zerg Race camp. What does what the Yan God Race Clan did have to do with our human camp?"
In fact, most powerful individuals on the Outer-Region Battlefield are unable to clearly distinguish which faction their enemy belongs to.
After all, the Outer-Region Battlefield are fraught with danger. A powerful figure might belong to the Monster Race one day, only to be enslaved by a powerful figure from the Machine Race race the next.
The only ones that could be clearly identified were the strong members of the same faction marked by the Outer-Region Battlefield.
As for most Alien Race enemies, one can only rely on past experience to determine their faction.
Just like the powerful Monster Race member enslaved by the Tianzhen King in the original work, as long as he is not discovered by others to have attacked the powerful Monster Race members, then he belongs to the Monster Race camp.
In other words, as long as Yang Wu's Yan God Race Clone does not attack the Zerg Race camp's powerful members, or attacks with incredible speed, the Yan God Race Clone can completely impersonate a Zerg Race camp's powerful member.
Of course, such disguise is only temporary. As long as a strong member of the Zerg Race faction contacts the Yan God Race Clone through the Army System, they can easily discover that Yang Wu does not belong to the Zerg Race faction.
Anyone who puts their mind to it will eventually figure out that the Yan God Race Clone belongs to the Human Faction.
However, the Zerg Race's Army System is almost identical to that of the Monster Race, far inferior to that of the Human and Machine Race. By the time they are exposed, the Yan God Race Clone may have already accumulated enough wealth.
With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately made a decision.
"From now on, when using the Yan God Race Clone, I will only target the strong members of the Monster Race Clan and the Machine Race Clan. This way, I can keep it a secret for longer!"
"Chi Yan, quickly mark all Alien Race powerhouse teams within the detection range, primarily those of the Monster Race and Machine Race!" Yang Wu immediately ordered.
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, Chi Yan marked all the information about the Alien Race and quickly said, "Master, there are 12 powerful Alien Race teams within the detection range. Nine of them belong to the Monster Race and the Machine Race. Considering the distance and the wealth of the Alien Race teams, your best choice is the powerful team belonging to the Monster Race."
As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, a projection of an Alien Race squad appeared in front of Yang Wu.
This Alien Race squad consisted of six people, led by two short figures who were only a little over a meter tall, hunched over, covered in Black Scale Armor, and with bright green eyes.
"Two Marquis Level Moluo Monkey?" Yang Wu's heart stirred.
The Moluo Monkey is a member of the Monster Race, just as the Blade Race is a member of the Human Race.
The two Moluo Monkey in front of Yang Wu, one High-level Marquis and the other Early Marquis, would be considered a formidable force even on the Yanji Continent.
"Master, this powerful squad of Monster Race is 120 million kilometers away. I've been monitoring their conversations, and it seems they've killed a group of enemies and reaped considerable rewards. Should we make this squad our primary target?" Chi Yan asked Yang Wu in his mind.
"There are so many powerful figures in the Monster Race!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim.
Although the strength of the four major factions on the Outer-Region Battlefield is roughly equal, the proportion of strong individuals among the Four Peak Races varies greatly.
Since Yang Wu arrived at the Outer-Region Battlefield, he has encountered no strong individuals from the four major races. He has also encountered very few strong individuals from the Zerg Race, and the Machine Race is quite rare. As for the Monster Race, he has encountered the most strong individuals.
This is quite normal, as the Monster Race is currently the strongest of the Four Peak Races.
If we exclude Monster Race Original Ancestor were suppressed by the Primal Universe, the number of Immortal God, Universe Venerable, Universe Master, and the Universe Supreme Being is the largest among the Four Peak Races. It is precisely because of this that the Monster Race has the largest territory.
The larger the territory, the more powerful individuals will emerge in the future.
In the original story, if Luo Feng hadn't risen to prominence unexpectedly, the Human Race might not have been a match for the Monster Race when the Primal Universe was destroyed!
"These things are far from me now, let's focus on the things in front of us first!"
Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately ordered Chi Yan, "That's them! Activate signal jamming and fly over slowly!"
At the same time, Yang Wu also released his Yan God Race Clone, handing over the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform Kashi and the God Slayer Spear to the Yan God Race Clone.
Because they shared the same soul, Kashi did not feel any aversion to the Yan God Race Clone.
However, strictly speaking, the current strength of the Yan God Race Clone is a notch below that of the Earthling Main Body, because the Yan God Race Clone has not become Black Warrior, and its current Life Gene is only 16 times that of ordinary life in the universe, while the Earthling Main Body has indeed reached 40 times.
Of course, even if the Yan God Race Clone could only mobilize 1600 times the World Lord Power after being possessed by Kashi, it still possessed the Limit King Level, making it easy for it to deal with a team of Alien Race led by a High-level Marquis Moluo Monkey.
"Yes, Master!" Chi Yan replied immediately.
Whoosh!
The spaceship quickly flew towards the powerful squad of Monster Race.
Within the Demon Race Territory, in a Cosmic Secret Realm.
In the silent void, streaks of azure lightning flashed continuously, and at the very center of these lightning bolts stood a majestic temple.
Just after Yang Wu and the Blood Blade Squad separated, a Silver Fox with seven tails suddenly appeared in front of the temple.
A soft, alluring voice echoed throughout the space, "Dark Night, an old friend has arrived. Why don't you show yourself?"
Before the words had even faded, a giant two-headed serpent slowly flew out of the temple; it was none other than the temple's master, the Monarch Dark Night.
The Monarch Dark Night is a powerful Universe Overlord among the Monster Race, in charge of Monster Race intelligence department. Over countless ages, countless geniuses from Alien Race have perished under his orders.
"Silver Fox, what brings you to my place?" The Monarch Dark Night's voice hissed, sending a chill down one's spine.
"Hehe, can't I come sit here for a while if there's nothing wrong?" The Seven-Tailed Silver Fox said softly, "Dark Night, just now our clan's Ziqiong King in the Outer-Region Battlefield sent back a message saying that a new Limit King Level powerhouse has appeared among the Human Race on the Yanji Continent, the Seventh Battlefield in the outer realms!"
"Oh? There are only so many people among the human race who have reached the Limit King Level powerhouse realm, and now another one has appeared?" The Monarch Dark Night frowned and asked, "Is the news true?"
Although there are many Limit King Level experts on the human side of the Outer-Region Battlefield, most of them are powerful beings from various races in the universe who have temporarily joined the Human Faction. The Limit King Level who truly belong to the Human Race itself is not that many.
"Of course it's true! This is a battle video that little Ziqiong sent back to the clan!"
After the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox finished speaking, it immediately waved its front paw, and a phantom screen appeared in the void. The screen was playing a video of Yang Wu killing the Peak Marquis Level Fear-Gold Hou.
"To annihilate a Peak Marquis Level with a single strike, that's undoubtedly the Limit King Level!" The Monarch Dark Night said coldly, "I've never included this human's information in my records. He must be a newly emerged human powerhouse. I never expected another Limit King Level to appear among these damned humans!"
"This is the first time this person has entered the Outer-Region Battlefield; their strength might even improve."
"Snake Shadow!"
At the command of the Monarch Dark Night, a phantom Snake Shadow appeared beside him.
"Master!" the illusory Snake Shadow said respectfully.
The Monarch Dark Night made no attempt to conceal his identity from the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox, directly ordering. "Record this human's information and place him 13th on the Human Race Second-Class Assassination List. His kill merit will be increased tenfold!"
The intelligence departments within the Four Peak Races all maintain various Assassination Ranking, with different rankings.
For Machine Race, the same list is used for both geniuses and Immortal God; however, for races like Zerg Race and Monster Race, the Assassination Ranking are divided into two separate lists for geniuses below the Immortal level and Immortal God.
Among the Monster Race, the first-class Assassination Ranking targets geniuses below the Immortal from the other three races. Once such geniuses fall, unless they have extremely high talent or a powerful background, the strongmen of each race generally will not try to resurrect them. The second-class Assassination Ranking targets the Immortal God from the other three races. Even if the strongmen of each race try to resurrect these people, they will pay a very high price.
"Yes, Master!" the illusory Snake Shadow replied respectfully immediately.
With Monarch Dark Night hand, the illusory Snake Shadow vanished.
Seeing that the Monarch Dark Night had finished dealing with the matter, the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox continued softly, "Dark Lord, that little fellow Zi Qiong was able to discover such a threat this time, which can be considered a merit!"
"Ziqiong King's contribution this time is indeed significant. I can award him a military merit equivalent to killing a Peak King Level!" Monarch Dark Night nodded and said.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he only ranked that human at the Limit King Level thirteenth on the Assassination Ranking this time; that's the thirteenth among all the Immortal God of the human race!
In terms of prestige, it far surpasses that of those geniuses!
It's just that the geniuses on the top Assassination Ranking are easier to assassinate, which is why they have a higher priority.
"Dark Night, Zi Qiong doesn't really need these military merits. Could you plead with the Sky Piercer King on her behalf and ask him to stop making things difficult for her?" the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox asked softly.
"Silver Fox, it's not that I don't want to help you!" the Monarch Dark Night said helplessly, "That Sky Piercer King is a direct descendant of the Monster Ancestor Zhen, even I have to give him some face. Besides, although the Ziqiong King's contribution this time was not bad, it's not much in our Monster Race. I really have no choice!"
"It would be more likely if the Ziqiong King had discovered the whereabouts of Yang Wu, the peerless human genius!"
"Besides, Sky Piercer King is considered an extremely outstanding genius within our Monster Race, so I don't know why Zi Qiong is unwilling!"
"Alas!" The Seven-Tailed Silver Fox sighed and said, "Yang Wu is an unparalleled genius of the human race, whose talent is no less than that of the Lord of Changjiu. How could the Human Race possibly let him venture into the Outer-Region Battlefield!"
"Forget it, I'll think of another way, Ziqiong!" the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox said helplessly.
She was the only Universe Venerable in the Silver Fox Clan, Ziqiong King's strength was enough to rank him among the top five in the clan. She really didn't want him to stay in the perilous Outer-Region Battlefield.
Back in the clan, there are many treasures available to aid in cultivation, which might significantly increase the Ziqiong King's strength.
Seeing the Seven-Tailed Silver Fox's helpless expression, the Monarch Dark Night immediately said, "Silver Fox, why don't you go and beg the Lord of Sky Wolf? If the Lord of Sky Wolf intervenes, then the Sky Piercer King will definitely stop bothering the Ziqiong King!"
"Hmm!" The Seven-Tailed Silver Fox nodded slightly, then disappeared without a trace, while the Monarch Dark Night returned to the temple.
At this moment, Yang Wu had no idea that his casually disguised identity had already attracted the attention of the Monster Race.
"Die!"
A dazzling Crimson Spear Light traversed the sky, completely annihilating the High-level Marquis Moluo Monkey. The aftershocks even caused several other Immortal God to lose a significant amount of their Divine Body.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" The remaining Early Marquis Moluo Monkey was terrified.
He didn't even see the enemy before his captain, who was even stronger than him, had already fallen.
Immediately afterward, several more spear beams flashed, and the remaining few Monster Race Immortal didn't even have time to escape before the battle ended.
Until their demise, these Immortal God of the Monster Race never saw where the enemy came from.
Call!
After the battle ended, Yang Wu appeared in the sky above the battle area, wearing the Sky-Stepping Boots.
"With my current strength, killing High-level Marquis is indeed very easy!"
Yang Wu casually put away his spoils and sighed with a smile.
Killing a High-level Marquis Alien Race earns military merits that can be exchanged for one million Hunyuan Unit, with spoils of war worth at least several million Hunyuan Unit. This is enough for the Time Palace to operate at ten times the time flow rate for half a month, and this is only Yang Wu's harvest in a short moment.
"The Outer-Region Battlefield is indeed my treasure trove!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "Even if I can't kill the Purple Bell King for the time being, I can probably still maintain the Time Palace at a faster time flow rate!"
"Okay, let's move on to the next team!"
With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately boarded a spaceship and left the area. Following Chi Yan's analysis, he headed towards the second Alien Race team.
Yang Wu then began his killing spree on the Yanji Continent.
The Earthling Main Body remained hidden behind the scenes, no longer appearing, while the Yan God Race Clone disguised himself as a powerful member of the Zerg Race faction, frantically slaughtering many powerful members of the Monster Race and Machine Race.
In subsequent battles, whenever Yang Wu accumulated a substantial amount of resources, he would send them to the Time Palace located at the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters through the God Kingdom of the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform Kashi.
Meanwhile, the Time Palace began operating at ten times the speed of time flow, without ever stopping.
I was still a bit busy today. I wrote over 5,000 words, not counting any extra chapters, but consider it a blessing from yesterday.
