Born from Death

On the massive plaza, nearly ten thousand people stood in neat formation.

A powerful pressure swept across the area, and suddenly, a woman clad in deep cyan battle armor appeared in the air. Her face was completely covered, revealing only her eyes.

The woman in the air had a slender, graceful figure, and her calm, ripple-free pupils were like deep pools. Just by standing there, she rendered the ten thousand people silent.

"Lord Legion Commander!"

Led by Zhu Ang, nearly a hundred World Lord Rank warriors bowed in unison.

Lily Dongluo waved her hand, and a disc-shaped spaceship with a diameter of over four hundred meters appeared in the air, its lower section revealing an entrance nearly a hundred meters wide.

"Depart."

She was the first to fly into the entrance of the spaceship.

"First Battalion, board the ship."

Zhu Ang led the nine Domain Lord Rank warriors and ninety Universe Rank warriors under his command, quickly flying into the entrance.

Soon, everyone was aboard. The entrance closed, and after a slight tremor, the spaceship flew rapidly out of the barracks.

The spaceship was quickly verified, flew out of the 049 Barracks Base, and headed toward the jump point.

As the lowest-ranking soldiers, Luoluobai Muye and the others naturally had no opportunity to witness the grandeur of the AAA-Rank Deity Base through the ship; they were currently staying beside their captain, Zhan Qiu.

"Captain, where is our destination?" Luoluobai Muye asked via short-range telepathy.

Seeing the other Universe Rank warriors looking over, Zhan Qiu replied via telepathy: "That depends on where the Legion Commander wants to go. Among all the Immortals at the 049 Barracks Base, our Legion Commander is top-tier in strength, so we usually go to the 'Red Waterfall Lake'. Chaotic Star Isle is considered a relatively high-level combat zone under the control of the 049 Barracks Base..."

"Sometimes we also go to lower-level ones like 'Dragon Mountain Pool' or 'Chaotic Star Isle', and sometimes to higher-level ones like the 'Black Meteor Mountain Range', 'Flowing Light Valley', and so on. Among these places, Flowing Light Valley is considered the highest level..."

"What is the highest-level combat zone under the control of the 049 Barracks Base?" Luoluobai Muye asked curiously.

"Miya Continent!" Zhan Qiu blurted out.

"This Miya Continent is the most dangerous combat zone under the control of the 049 Barracks Base. It is said that those who dare to venture onto Miya Continent are all super powerhouses among the Immortal deities..."

In the main control room of the disc-shaped spaceship, dozens of World Lord Rank warriors were gathered. A slender figure stood with her back to them, looking out the porthole at the boundless starry sky. Her cold, clear voice echoed throughout the control room:

"The battlefield we are heading to this time is the Black Meteor Mountain Range. You all remember that battle over fifty years ago, right? We faced an attack from two Mo'er Race teams. If allies hadn't arrived to support us just in time, we likely would have suffered even greater losses..."

She turned around. On her exquisite face, her willow-like brows rose slightly above her deep cyan pupils, her gaze revealing a hint of sharpness: "Although I held off two Mo'er Race Immortals, one team is unable to single-handedly withstand the attack of two Mo'er armies. In that battle, we sacrificed 23 World Lord Rank warriors, 279 Domain Lord Rank warriors, and even more Universe Rank warriors..."

Many World Lord Rank warriors showed expressions of shame. Zhu Ang stepped forward and bowed slightly: "The Commander's reprimand is deserved; our strength was insufficient..."

Lily Dongluo waved her hand at him: "It has nothing to do with you. You held off five of the opponent's World Lord Rank warriors by yourself; although you were severely injured, you managed to kill three of them in return. You did very well..."

"However," she said, looking at the World Lord Rank warriors under her command, she let out a soft huff: "I, Lily Dongluo, have been fighting on the Outer Battlefield for dozens of epochs and have never suffered such a loss. For these years, I have been asking people to help track down these two Mo'er Race Immortal teams. Yesterday, an ally sent word that they had spotted the trail of one of the teams in the Black Meteor Mountain Range..."

"The Mo'er Race is a vassal race of the Automaton Race and cannot even be considered a powerful race. With the strength of our Dongluo Legion, if we face one team, it won't be difficult for the Commander to kill the opposing Immortal, and the rest can be left to us..."

Zhu Ang said loudly, and the other World Lord Rank warriors echoed his sentiment.

"Very good!" Lily Dongluo nodded with satisfaction. "Leave the Mo'er Race Immortals to me, and leave the rest to you all..."

There is an unwritten rule on the Outer Battlefield: Immortals must not slaughter those below the Immortal level on a large scale. Otherwise, once one side's Immortal kills or forces back the other's Immortal, the opponent's World Lord Rank warriors might have a chance to flee, but the Domain Lord Rank and Universe Rank warriors would have absolutely no chance of survival.

If everyone did that, it would not serve as training for the Universe Rank and Domain Lord Rank warriors, but would instead be a pure suicide mission.

The spaceship flew in the dark universe for more than two days before jumping back into the original universe. Then, it flew for more than three days before approaching an incredibly massive mountain range in the void.

The continuous mountain range was iron-black as far as the eye could see, and even the plants upon it were a deep, dark black.

"Are we just going to wait here in the spaceship?" Feng Yi, who was beside Luoluobai Muye, was the type who couldn't keep things to himself, and he quietly asked Zhan Qiu via telepathy.

"If the main force moves together, the commotion is too great. Our combat mode is usually to wait for the Legion Commander to find a target, then approach, and only then do we strike..."

"Then..." a regular Universe Rank warrior in the team stammered, "what if we find out we can't beat the opponent after we strike..."

Zhan Qiu looked at him, feeling helpless inside. Although they had organized several drills in the Virtual Universe, once they were truly on the battlefield, regular Universe Rank warriors like them were often the first to die.

"Remember the experience I taught you before. Don't rush too fast at the beginning. Wait for the commanders to intercept the opponent's World Lord Rank warriors, then stay calm, don't lose your head, and whatever you do, don't get too far from your teammates..."

Zhan Qiu said slowly. These were all experiences he had gained over the years. He told his Universe Rank warriors this every time, but very few could actually manage it.

"You, including myself, all have different reasons for coming to the Outer Battlefield, but since you have arrived, you must be prepared to seek life through death..."

He scanned the ten Universe Rank warriors under his command. "Being afraid of death is useless. Once on the battlefield, the more you fear death, the faster you tend to die..."

Luoluobai Muye and the other three elite Universe Rank warriors were very calm and composed. Those who could be rated as elites had naturally come through mountains of blades and seas of fire. While they might not necessarily have the "thousand-kill" experience of Luoluobai Muye, they were certainly not flowers in a greenhouse.

Among the six regular Universe Rank warriors, most were calm on the surface, but the flickering in their eyes still betrayed their inner anxiety.

"Generally, I will lead you in the charge. If a situation arises where I need to support another captain, then the command of the squad will be handed over to Luoluobai Muye. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

The others looked at Luoluobai Muye, feeling a bit more reassured. After half a year of getting along, they naturally knew of Luoluobai Muye's strength. With such a powerful pillar to lean on, their safety seemed a bit more guaranteed.

"Xiao Si, how far can you detect now?"

Luoluobai Muye communicated with Xiao Si in his sea of consciousness.

"About one percent of a light-second," Xiao Si replied lazily.

"That's about three thousand kilometers," Bai Muye thought to himself. Seeing its lazy attitude, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "Weren't you the one dying to come to the Outer Battlefield? Now that the battle is about to start, can't you show some energy?"

"Fourth Master is plenty energetic," Xiao Si hummed. "I'm currently scanning the space within one percent of a light-second to see if there are any souls..."

The spaceship was flying at sub-light speed, and in the main control room, Dongluo was staring at her scanner.

"I finally scraped together enough military merit to sell the old scanner and exchange it for a more advanced one. Don't let me down; I hope that Mo'er Race squad is still nearby..."

Half a day later.

"Beep!"

The scanner emitted a soft chime.

Looking at the image displayed on the scanner, Dongluo's eyes lit up, her cyan pupils filled with a sharp, fierce light.
