Extraterritorial Battlefield

Su Heng walked along the passage. Given his cultivation level, he soon reached its end.

It was a scenic plaza where more than ten thousand people had already gathered. However, the plaza spanned over a hundred kilometers, so even with that many people present, it did not feel crowded.

"Hello, please rest over here first." A beautiful female receptionist with two ears atop her head approached and spoke.

"How much longer until we can head to the Extraterritorial Battlefield?" Su Heng asked the receptionist.

"World Lord, eighty-two World Lords have gathered so far. It will probably take some time before it opens," the receptionist replied with a smile.

As for how she knew Su Heng was a World Lord, it was entirely because of the mark between his brows. Only those acknowledged by the Law of Wood would display such a mark!

Su Heng nodded slightly. Eighty-two people—there would probably be another three days to wait.

With that in mind, he walked over to a long bench and waited calmly.

"Hello, are you here alone?"

A rugged-looking man with bull horns atop his head walked over.

Su Heng glanced up at him, then immediately lost interest. He was merely a World Lord acknowledged by the Law of Fire.

Still, since the man had spoken to him, Su Heng could not entirely ignore him. He replied in an indifferent tone.

"Alone."

"Hiss, alright then."

Even though he comprehended the Law of Fire, this World Lord from the Niu Meng Clan seemed unable to bear such coldness. After speaking awkwardly, he went off to make small talk with someone else.

Su Heng was happy to have some peace and quiet. Unlike these World Lords, his strength destined him to act alone.

Time passed, and three days soon went by. At last, the quota of one hundred World Lords was filled.

"Cosmic-level warriors, gather here."

"Domain Lords, gather here."

"World Lord powerhouses, gather over here."

The passage gates opened, and the more than ten thousand independent soldiers were swiftly sorted into groups. Su Heng rose to join the other World Lords.

"World Lord warriors, you are about to head to the most glorious and most brutal Extraterritorial Battlefield."

An Immortal God with a silver complexion and a body brimming with murderous aura spoke solemnly.

Since Su Heng had entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield once before, he understood the rules within it well. He only listened selectively to the Immortal God's explanation.

Soon, it was time for authority assignment, an extremely important part of entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield!

Because it represented one's status after entering the battlefield!

There were three ranks: ordinary World Lord Warrior, Elite World Lord Warrior, and World Lord General.

Most World Lords were ordinary World Lord Warriors.

Those acknowledged by a Source Law could barely be considered Elite World Lord Warriors.

Generally, only one World Lord General emerged from among hundreds of Elite World Lord Warriors!

The entire authority assignment process was determined by the Virtual Universe. As long as one had displayed their strength within the Virtual Universe, it could assess their rank with great accuracy.

During his previous experience, Su Heng had been granted the authority of a World Lord General. This time would naturally be no exception.

The authority assignment ceremony ended quickly. Of the hundred World Lords, no World Lord General appeared apart from Su Heng.

"The authority assignment ceremony has concluded." The Immortal God suddenly raised his voice, and it echoed through the ears of the tens of thousands of cosmic warriors.

"Follow me. Soon, you will all be collectively teleported to the Extraterritorial Battlefield. The Extraterritorial Battlefield consists of individual cosmic secret realms and is divided into eleven battlefields. You are heading to Base 025 of the Seventh Battlefield!"

"The Seventh Battlefield?" Su Heng was somewhat surprised. The first battlefield he had entered had been the Third Battlefield, whose brutality ranked first among all eleven battlefields!

Its death rate had reached 98.12%!

Logically speaking, no matter which battlefield he went to, its death rate could not be higher than that of the Third Battlefield. That should have been something worth celebrating.

However, Su Heng was mainly surprised because the Seventh Battlefield seemed to be the battlefield Luo Feng had gone to in the original work!

Led by the Immortal God, this group of recruits soon passed through a transfer station and arrived at Base 025 of the Seventh Battlefield.

The moment he landed, Su Heng heard shouts ringing out one after another.

"New recruits are here."

"Quick, quick, quick! Stop sleeping and get to work."

Amid the cries, more than a dozen figures headed toward Su Heng's group. There was even an Immortal God wearing a white robe among them!

"Recruits, welcome to the Seventh Battlefield's Base 025 military camp. All World Lords, follow him. All Domain Lords, follow this little fellow. All Cosmic-level warriors, follow this young man."

The white-robed Immortal God swiftly designated three guides.

The Cosmic-level warriors, Domain Lords, and World Lords each proceeded through separate passages.

"World Lords, the World Lord camp is up ahead," the guide said.

Under the guide's lead, Su Heng and the others arrived at an elegantly decorated hall. The hall contained over ten million seats, and several hundred thousand people were already sitting there.

The guide shouted loudly, "New recruits are here! This batch has a World Lord General among them, so seize the chance, haha!"

After saying that, the guide turned and left.

"A World Lord General?" More than ten thousand World Lord warriors who had been drinking and chatting rushed over.

Whenever World Lord soldiers approached one another, their Smart Optical Brains would reveal each other's authority. Thus, the gazes of those ten thousand veteran World Lords instantly settled on Su Heng.

"Sorry, this is my second entry, so I have the authority to act freely," Su Heng said with a faint smile beneath the gazes of ten thousand people.

"A second-time entrant?" Some World Lords shook their heads upon hearing this and went back to chatting.

But with so many World Lords, it was impossible for everyone to give up. Many still extended invitations to Su Heng.

Su Heng rejected every one of them. Even when Immortal Gods invited him, he merely shook his head and refused.

Although one could act freely after completing their military merit requirements, most Immortals and World Lords who did so formed teams. After all, greater numbers meant greater safety.

But for Su Heng, a team would instead be a burden. He had come here to temper himself through life and death and seek an opportunity to break through.

Thus, he ignored every invitation and entered a residence, intending to rest for a day.

From the Noah Universe Kingdom to Black Eye Star, even with his ancestor's God Kingdom teleportation, he had still traveled through the universe for more than a decade.

Although such a period of travel was nothing to a World Lord.

Su Heng still intended to rest. After all, it was the only habit from his memories of his previous life that he still retained.

Since some new readers may not have read Swallowed Star, I included some explanations found in the original work. To make up for it, I wrote an extra chapter. There will be two daily updates from now on, with a burst of updates after it goes premium.
