Outer-Region Battlefield and Divine Spirit Squad

The Cangniao Star, with a diameter of over a million kilometers, is one of the eight major logistics bases within Human Territory and is also the base closest to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. A large number of the Cosmic Army are continuously transported from here to the "Outer-Region Battlefield".

A pure white, bird-like Biological Spaceship slowly approached the massive Star Fortress.

"Wow, this is... F-Class Biological Spaceship." On the spaceship parking platform of Cangniao Star, a person wearing silver standard combat armor exclaimed in surprise.

Biological Spaceship are mostly popular among races such as Monster Race, while humans mainly use alloy spaceships and metal spaceships. Although Biological Spaceship and alloy/metal spaceships each have their advantages and disadvantages, there is no such thing as one being better or worse than the other.

However, due to the niche nature of Biological Spaceship among the Human Race, the Biological Spaceship used by powerful humans are often extremely valuable treasures, usually chosen by elite members of large forces and powerful races, or by some maverick Immortal God.

The man in the standard battle armor watched in astonishment as a boy with Ink Armor, crimson hair, and skin covered in Silver Secret Patterns runes flew out of a pure white, bird-like spaceship. At the same time, he casually stored the spaceship into his World Ring, and an invisible pressure spread out.

Immortal God?

"Sir." The staff member in standard combat armor was secretly startled and quickly came forward respectfully.

Immortal God are rarely going to the Outer-Region Battlefield for the first time, so they usually don't need his guidance, but respect for Immortal God is still essential.

Sure enough, the boy didn't even glance at him before walking straight towards a wide, transparent glass passageway in the distance.

Disguised as Immortal God in the form of a young boy, Jiang Yao traversed the 3,000-kilometer-long passage in a few steps and arrived at a beautiful square where thousands of people had gathered.

Jiang Yao did not deliberately conceal the oppressive aura of Immortal God, which instantly silenced the entire square. Only a few world lord powerhouses dared to transmit their voices through the World Force.

"Immortal God?"

"Great, we don't have to wait any longer."

A receptionist with green fur all over his body approached respectfully. "Sir, would you like to grant permissions?"

Jiang Yao said calmly, "Verify permissions."

"Okay." The receptionist showed no surprise. Most Immortal God had already entered the Outer-Region Battlefield. As long as Immortal God had entered the Outer-Region Battlefield had not chosen to retire, they did not need to be granted permission a second time to enter. They only needed to be re-verified to confirm that it was the same person and not someone impersonating them.

An immortal deity, exuding Immortal God and seemingly cast in metal, approached. Upon seeing the young Jiang Yao, he paused slightly. Although Jiang Yao had only revealed a trace of his aura, he was certain that this young man was no Ordinary Immortal. He said gently, "Brother, you must have been away from the Outer-Region Battlefield for quite some time. I'll verify your permissions."

"It's been over a thousand epochs since I last returned," Jiang Yao said with a faint smile.

A beam of blue light shot out from the Armguard Screen the Immortal God's arm guard, enveloping Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao felt no apprehension whatsoever; with the Chaos City Lord's authority, modifying and forging an identity was absolutely impossible to cause any problems.

"15.1 billion military merits?" The Immortal God, exuding a murderous aura, was secretly shocked.

The 15.1 billion military merits were earned by Jiang Yao under his false identity on Outer-Region Battlefield.

"As expected, this person is extraordinary. So many military merits are equivalent to killing 15 high-level Immortal Army Lord from the opposing camp! Even if he is not Marquis Immortal, he must have combat power close to that of Marquis Immortal!"

In the Outer-Region Battlefield, the military merits gained from killing Immortal Army Lord range from 100 million to 1 billion, while those gained from killing Marquis Immortal range from 10 billion to 1 trillion.

"Moreover, military merits can be exchanged for treasures. 100,000 military merits can be exchanged for 1 Hunyuan Unit. If this person has also exchanged for Hunyuan Unit or other treasures, then their strength would probably be even more terrifying."

The Immortal God's attitude warmed up further. "Which battlefield are you going to?"

Below the level of Immortal God, even realm lords do not have the power to choose their battlefields, but Immortal God do.

"The Third Battlefield," Jiang Yao said.

The Immortal God nodded without speaking. The mortality rate of the Third Battlefield was 97.2%, ranking second among the eleven battlefields, second only to the Tenth Battlefield, which was originally the Jueting Secret Realm, and higher than the seventh battlefield.

However, that's the overall mortality rate. We haven't reached the point of large-scale inter-clan wars that occur every 1,000 epochs yet. For powerful Immortal God, as long as they don't go to those relatively dangerous areas, the mortality rate isn't high.

After swiftly granting permissions to the thousands of people in the plaza, the Immortal God commanded, "Move out!"

He personally accompanied Jiang Yao, followed by a vast corps of thousands of warriors, in front of 11 spatial passages resembling water curtains within a massive hall.

The Immortal God frowned slightly as he watched the vast figure disappear into the third water curtain. He felt that the young Immortal Expert looked somewhat familiar. After checking the information of the Human Faction powerhouses in the Third Battlefield through the Virtual Universe, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"It was him? He actually dared to return to the Outer-Region Battlefield?"

Inside the Third Battlefield Camp 005, at the internal teleportation passage

"Haha, the new recruits have arrived."

"We have new recruits!"

"Why is this batch coming so quickly? And the quantity is small too?"

The towering Immortal God in charge of leading the new recruits looked at the batch of recruits who had been teleported in with some astonishment. Usually, it would take at least tens of thousands of new recruits to gather 100 world lords.

"Ah." The tall, Immortal God's expression changed slightly as he focused his attention on the boy in black Ink Armor, with crimson hair and skin covered in Silver Secret Patterns.

"So another Immortal God has arrived. No wonder they only teleported so many people this time. But their faces seem unfamiliar? Could they be Immortal God visiting the Outer-Region Battlefield for the first time?"

The towering, Immortal God swiftly appointed four guides to lead the new recruits to four different pathways: the Universe-level, Domain Lord, World Lord, and Immortal God pathways, each leading to a different camp.

"No need," Jiang Yao said, then walked directly towards the passage leading to the Immortal God's camp, leaving the tall Immortal God pondering Jiang Yao's identity.

A moment later, Jiang Yao arrived at an elegantly decorated hall, where nearly ten thousand Immortal God were seated.

Countless gazes instantly focused on Jiang Yao.

"Is this guy new here?"

"Hey, I've been in the Third Battlefield for nearly a thousand epochs and I've never seen him before. Maybe he's a new face."

"Haha, finally some fresh blood!"

"We're different from those Realm Lord teams. Our members are more stable; we'd rather have fewer but better members. If someone isn't a good fit, we won't just put anyone into the team."

"Xisai?"

"Boss?!"

Three figures quickly arrived in front of Jiang Yao.

It was a giant, about 8 meters tall, with a third vertical eye on its forehead, and its body seemed to be made of purple rock.

One was a petite woman with four Bone Spikes on her head and wearing red armor.

It has black fur all over its body, a single dark gray horn, and a tail like an iron whip.

"Leo! Windshadow! Demonhorn!"

Jiang Yao smiled, his gaze falling on the three of them. He recalled the information he had read about his disguised identity while greeting them.

His identity Xisai. He spent many years in the Third Battlefield Beyond the Realm and even formed an Immortal God Squad.

The three Immortal God before him were his former comrades-in-arms and members of the Divine Spirit Squad.

"Boss, why didn't you tell us beforehand in the Virtual Universe?" The purple Rock Giant Leo looked somewhat agitated.

Jiang Yao thought to himself, "This was just a last-minute decision; how could I have told you beforehand?"

"Boss, you've come at the perfect time! Our team is one person short. With you joining, our team's strength will definitely increase significantly, and we'll have a much better chance of making it to the Xuehuan Continent this time!"

Xuehuan Continent?

Jiang Yao was startled; this was indeed a good opportunity.

The petite Windshadow excitedly led Jiang Yao to a table that was surrounded by people.

Among them were Winged Human Race taller than the purple Rock Giant Leo, the Longke Clan with two supple tentacles extending from their foreheads—the pinnacle of human blood—and the Chimei Clan with purple hair, purple eyes, and a fluffy purple tail.

"Boss, this is our team leader, Prison Gold Marquis, Jialuo." Windshadow pointed to the Longke Clan immortal with two flexible tentacles on his forehead.

"Captain, this is--"

"I know you, Blood Blade Xisai!" Jialuo looked Jiang Yao up and down and laughed, "I never expected you to return to the Outer-Region Battlefield."

Jialuo was somewhat surprised. Although Blood Blade Xisai had already left the Third Battlefield when Galo arrived at the Outer-Region Battlefield, many people still knew that Xisai had obtained a mysterious inheritance, not to mention that Xisai's former comrades were in his team.

"Let me introduce them," Jialuo said, pointing to the tall Winged Human Race: "This is Sword Dust Marquis Huanchen, who cultivates the Law of Lightning and space, and is the vice-captain of our Divine Spirit Squad."

The tall, Winged Human youth grinned at Jiang Yao, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "I've heard you possess the combat strength of Marquis Level? Even known as the Blood Blade Marquis? I hope you haven't wasted these past thousand-plus epochs and have cultivated Undying Body. Only then will you be qualified to fight me. If you can defeat me, I can give you this vice-captain position!"

"Huanchen is a battle maniac. He came to the Outer-Region Battlefield purely for the sake of fighting. He may be a bit straightforward, but he is a trustworthy partner," Jialuo explained, then pointed to the woman with purple hair, purple eyes, and a fluffy purple tail.

"This is Huanling, born into the Chimei Clan, and is the strongest Illusionist in our Divine Spirit Squad."

The Chimei Clan girl Huanling said calmly to Jiang Yao, "I've heard Windshadow mention your name many times, but if you return to the Outer-Region Battlefield this time and join our Divine Spirit Squad, it will probably cause us a lot of trouble."

"Huanling," Jialuo warned the Chimei Clan girl before continuing to explain to Jiang Yao.

"This is Zhenyan, skilled in the Origin Law of Fire..."

"This is Wuhun, who has comprehended the Origin Law of Water..."

"This is Aodisi, skilled in the two Origin Law metal and wood..."

Jialuo then looked at the three people beside him, including the purple Rock Giant, and said, "Leo, Windshadow, and Demonhorn, these three are all your former comrades-in-arms. You probably know them better than I do, so I won't introduce them."

"Xisai, our Divine Spirit Squad hopes you can join us, but before that, I need to tell you our squad's goal."

Jialuo looked at Jiang Yao, his expression solemn, and said, "We are preparing to go to the Xuehuan Continent."

Seeing that Jiang Yao remained completely unmoved, a hint of admiration appeared in Jialuo's eyes.

The Third Battlefield, ranking among the most dangerous and deadliest Outer-Region Battlefield, contains numerous dangerous areas. Among them, the Xuehuan Continent is the most dangerous and also the place where powerful beings gather, a veritable meat grinder for Immortal God.

"With your addition, our team will have three Marquis Level combatants, which will greatly increase our chances of success. Putting aside the core of the Xuehuan Continent, we can at least establish ourselves and survive in the peripheral areas of the continent," Jialuo warmly invited Jiang Yao.

The Chimei Clan girl Huanling frowned and said, "Captain, Xisai is rumored to have obtained some mysterious inheritance in the Xuehuan Continent. Regardless of whether the inheritance is strong or weak, many people know about it, and there will definitely be many people who covet it. Letting him join will only bring us trouble."

Jialuo gave Huanling a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He then turned to Jiang Yao and continued to try to win him over, saying, "You and Leo have been to the Xuehuan Continent before, but none of the rest of us have. I believe that with you joining us, our team's success rate will increase significantly."

Seemingly afraid that Jiang Yao would refuse, Jialuo added, "The reason why Leo, Windshadow, and Demonhorn were also willing to join my team is because I promised them that I would avenge your brothers when we go to the Xuehuan Continent!"

Upon hearing this, Leo, Windshadow, and Demonhorn all revealed intense grief, indignation, and hatred.

Jiang Yao feigned a startled expression, but inwardly he already understood, thinking to himself, "It seems this trip is unavoidable."

His identity as Xisai was originally used to lead his own Divine Spirit Squad to the Xuehuan Continent. The danger level on the edge of the continent was not that great, but when they were fighting for a hidden treasure, they clashed with an Immortal God team from the Monster Race. They were no match for the enemy and had to scatter and flee. In the end, apart from Xisai captain, and Leo, all the other team members perished.

Despite being severely wounded, Xisai managed to escape the Outer-Region Battlefield.

The Monster Race faction, which failed to wipe out the entire Divine Spirit Squad, did not discover the most precious secret technique inheritance in the treasure, and suspected that Xisai had obtained it, so they spread the news widely.

Of course, the fact is that Xisai did indeed obtain the inheritance from that treasure.

For over a thousand epochs, he has been cultivating in seclusion under an assumed name, preparing to return to the Outer-Region Battlefield to seek revenge after greatly increasing his strength.

As a result, the Chaos City Lord took a liking to his identity and brought him to Chaos City, giving him a huge amount of resources in exchange for him taking over Jiang Yao's identity.

As someone who takes on a substitute identity, one must naturally be involved in the Causality of that person.

Jiang Yao had already planned to go to the Xuehuan Continent under the pretext of avenging his companions, in order to reduce the possibility of the Zerg discovering his identity, and now this was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing that Jiang Yao seemed interested, Jialuo added fuel to the fire, "Don't worry, I will never covet the inheritance you obtained. I also know that it wasn't just you; Leo and the other two also benefited greatly from the emergence of the hidden treasure on the Xuehuan Continent. I will not covet any of your inheritances or treasures."

His words, while sincere, subtly revealed a hint of arrogance.

The vice-captain Huanchen and the Chimei Clan girl Huanling, standing to the side, did not react to Jialuo's words at all, as if Jialuo's promise was nothing more than a matter of course.

Jiang Yao's heart stirred. The inheritance he received with his identity was truly precious. If this Jialuo really had no covetous thoughts, then her identity must be extraordinary as well.

"However, if you want to be the captain, I'm sorry I can't give it to you. If you want to be the vice-captain, I have no objection. As long as you can beat Huanchen, he will definitely give it to you." Jialuo continued, a glint of light in his eyes, seemingly also looking forward to seeing who was stronger between Jiang Yao and Huanchen.

"No need. I have no interest in the captain or vice-captain. My goal is to avenge my comrades," Jiang Yao said decisively. "I'm willing to join the team."

After he understood the wishes behind this identity and avenged his comrades who had perished in the Monster Race's divine team, he planned to reunite with his teacher Marquis Huanqiong. He would definitely act alone, as he didn't care about the titles of captain or vice-captain.

"Haha..." Jialuo seemed very happy. "That's great. We didn't know how long we would have to wait, or even if we didn't find a suitable candidate after a while, we would have to give up on recruiting. We should leave now. It will take quite a while to get to the Xuehuan Continent. We can get familiar with it along the way."

After Jialuo and Jiang Yao's group hurriedly left the hall, in a corner of the Immortal God camp, a short-statured Immortal God stared intently at Jiang Yao's retreating figure, his expression mysterious. "That lucky guy Xisai actually dared to come back. Heh, rumors say the inheritance he obtained is related to the Path of the Beast God. If that's true..."
