Countless interstellar dust particles filled the entire starry sky, along with some celestial bodies floating silently in the void. A spaceship flew silently at sub-light speed.

The spaceship slowly came to a halt on a fragment of a celestial body with a diameter of several million kilometers.

"We have now penetrated deep into the Chaotic Star Isle. Enemies are approaching 10 million kilometers ahead. Everyone, exit the ship."

Two voices rang out simultaneously, one rough and one cold.

The World Lords led their subordinates out of the ship along the passageway.

"The Detector shows that our side and this alien team discovered each other at a distance of 80 million kilometers. After the aliens discovered us, they continued to approach. The current distance is 9.2 million kilometers!"

Dongluo's voice resonated in everyone's ears.

"This alien team belongs to the Machine Race camp, known as the Guyou Race. They are a type of metallic lifeform, but data shows that the Guyou Race is not a vassal of the Machine Race; they simply entered the Outer Battlefield through Machine Race channels and are affiliated with the Machine Race camp..."

Gong Nuoxiao's slightly hoarse, rough voice continued, speaking quite rapidly: "Although the Guyou Race are metallic lifeforms, unlike the Machine Race, they possess souls. Most importantly—"

He emphasized his tone: "Our Detector shows that the opponent only has the life fluctuation of one Immortal God. Since they could discover us from tens of millions of kilometers away and dare to approach us, they must be able to detect that we have two Immortal existences. We have two, they have one, yet they dare to engage. Do you know what this means?"

"It means the opponent either has the confidence to fearlessly face a siege by two Immortals," Dongluo quickly added, "or they have more than one Immortal-level combatant!"

"So, in the Guyou Race team, there may be World Lords who possess Immortal-level combat power!" Gong Nuoxiao emphasized. "Although this is a good opportunity to obtain Military Merit—the stronger the World Lord, the higher the Military Merit after killing them—the risks are equally great! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The warriors in both teams responded in unison.

"Everyone, be careful," said Zhu Ang and the other Immortal, their force vibrating to transmit their voices to the warriors of the Dongluo Legion. "I have encountered the Guyou Race before. The bodies of these metallic lifeforms are exceptionally tough, and their strength is also monstrous. They are generally a cut above us humans, but their agility is relatively poor, and they are generally inferior to us in terms of Law comprehension and domains..."

With the vision of a Domain Lord Rank, one could see extremely far in the unobstructed starry sky. At this moment, Bai Muye could already vaguely see a vast number of aliens approaching rapidly directly ahead.

As they drew closer, one could see that these aliens were all wearing armor of various colors. Their heights were almost all around three meters; a small portion were humanoid, most were various beast-like shapes, and a small portion were bizarrely shaped.

Bai Muye saw one that was a cube, its entire body looking like a 3rd-order Rubik's Cube, with its 27 segments constantly shifting and rotating as it moved.

Dongluo and Gong Nuoxiao flashed, having already left the main force, and spread out their life fluctuations, clearly intending to confront the opponent's Immortal directly.

"The opponent has only one Immortal, and judging by the fluctuations, they are definitely not a Marquis-level powerhouse, yet they dare to face the two of us," Gong Nuoxiao transmitted. "There must be something fishy about this!"

As an Army Lord who had led teams for even longer than Dongluo, his experience was naturally very rich.

"Indeed, we must be on guard!" Dongluo replied in a deep voice. "I checked the military system; the nearest allies are at least billions of kilometers away. If we need to call for reinforcements, I'm afraid they won't arrive that quickly..."

"It seems I guessed correctly..." Gong Nuoxiao watched as three figures flew out from the Guyou Race team. One was an Immortal, and the other two figures clearly only had the fluctuations of peak World Lords. "The opponent indeed has more than one Immortal-level combatant..."

He sneered: "I just don't know how strong those two World Lords are..."

He turned his head to look at Dongluo: "You or me?"

"You take them," Dongluo knew what he meant. "I will deal with that Immortal, and those two World Lords are yours."

"Fine."

Gong Nuoxiao's eyes reflected Dongluo's heroic and spirited figure, and he nodded with a smile.

Soon, the Immortal-level combatants of both sides clashed, erupting with astonishing fluctuations.

The humans and the aliens each had nearly a hundred World Lords. When the distance was about 100,000 kilometers, the World Lords of both sides simultaneously accelerated and made initial contact. In an instant, various lights flashed across the lonely starry sky, making it suddenly brilliant.

Bai Muye drew his God Slayer Spear, and Zhan Qiu beside him had his eyes light up: "Changed weapons?"

"Yeah," Bai Muye held the spear in one hand and moved forward side-by-side with him. "The attributes of my previous weapon didn't quite fit, so I changed to a more suitable one."

"That's true, with so much Military Merit, it would be a waste not to spend it..." Zhan Qiu laughed heartily.

The distance between the two sides grew closer and closer.

"Kill!"

Bai Muye's domain spread out in a fan shape, instantly suppressing the dozen or so crab-like Guyou Race creatures charging at him.

The leading metal crab waved its two pincers, attempting to tear apart the domain entwined around it.

Although it was a Domain Lord Rank 9, it was horrified to find that its own nine-fold domain was retreating steadily under the suppression of the opponent's domain, not to mention the dozen or so Universe Rank metal crabs behind it, which were already suppressed by the domain as if stuck in mercury.

The void, which could usually be moved through at will, seemed to have been injected with invisible, viscous liquid, making every movement they made difficult.

A glimmer of light lit up on the silver spear in Bai Muye's hand. With a shake of the spear, it pierced straight toward the Domain Lord Rank 9 metal crab like a bolt of lightning.

Clang!

The metal crab twisted its body, its two pincers parried one after another, and then it used the hardest arc of its back to take the strike head-on. Even with its Domain Lord Rank 9 strength, it was knocked downward by the impact.

Bai Muye gripped the end of the spear with his left hand and swung it with both hands. The spear transformed into a long staff, silver-white electric arcs flowing over the shaft, and it smashed onto the pincer the creature used to block, instantly twisting the limb.

The metal crab let out a miserable shriek. The other three pairs of claws on the sides of its body suddenly elongated, and the exceptionally sharp, thin tips carried a metallic edge as they stabbed toward Bai Muye.

With a flick of the spear, the tip instantly erupted with points of cold light, precisely striking the six armored legs, emitting a series of clinking sounds.

Although he was only a Domain Lord Rank 3 at this moment, the strength amplification from his ten-fold gene, combined with his hundred-fold perfect force exertion, and the Lightning Law contained within his spear technique, allowed him to display power even greater than his Domain Lord Rank 9 opponent.

The three pairs of armored legs were knocked away, leaving the metal crab's defenses wide open. Bai Muye thrust his spear forward, the silver-white shaft glowing with wisps of silver light, and the entire spear transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing directly into its chest and abdomen.

The spearhead, submerged in the body, erupted with countless bolts of lightning that spread along its metallic frame, easily piercing through its Singularity.

Under the suppression of his domain, the remaining metal crabs had already been almost entirely killed by Zhan Qiu and the four Universe Ranks.

"Refreshing!" Zhan Qiu laughed aloud, "Muye, keep going!"

He already possessed strength that absolutely suppressed those at the Universe Rank, and with the domain suppression from Bai Muye, dealing with the Universe Rank of the Guyou Race was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

The four Universe Rank members in the team had each killed one crab, while he had killed all the others.

Although the military merit for killing Universe Rank enemies was low, it had the advantage of being safe. With his strength at the sixth stage of the Domain Lord Rank, if he were to face a ninth-stage Domain Lord of an alien race stronger than himself every time, he could not guarantee he would be able to suppress the opponent. If he encountered a troublesome opponent, he would inevitably need the help of other Domain Lords, and if rescue did not arrive in time, he would fall into danger.

Therefore, he was very glad that he had chosen Bai Muye to join his team back then.

"Follow me!"

Bai Muye stored the corpse of the metal crab into his storage space and led them to continue slaughtering other alien races.

With the powerful suppression from Bai Muye's strength, which could sweep across the Domain Lord Rank, the human side gradually gained the upper hand in the Domain Lord and Universe Rank battlefield, forcing the Domain Lords and Universe Rank members of the Guyou Race to gradually scatter, leaving them no choice but to split up and pursue.

On the World Lord battlefield, the human side also began to gain an advantage. After all, it was a combination of two teams, and those who could survive in the cruel Outer Battlefield were all elite World Lords from both teams.

During the pursuit, Bai Muye unknowingly became separated from Zhan Qiu and the others. When he killed another Domain Lord of the Guyou Race, a loud bang erupted from the nearby Immortal battlefield. A Guyou Race World Lord had been killed by Gong Nuoxiao, and as its Internal World was shattered, the items stored within it suddenly flew everywhere.

A streak of light shot toward Bai Muye by pure coincidence, and he caught it with one hand!
