Extraterritorial Battlefield

He walked along the passage until he reached its end, a feat that was quick for Su Heng given his cultivation level.

It opened into a beautiful plaza, already filled with over ten thousand people. However, the plaza was vast, spanning hundreds of kilometers, so even with such a crowd, it didn't feel congested.

"Hello, please rest here for a moment," a beautiful female receptionist with distinctive double ears said as she approached him.

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

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

The reason she knew Su Heng was a Lord was entirely due to the mark on his forehead, an imprint that only appeared after receiving acknowledgment from the Law of Wood!

Su Heng nodded slightly. Eighty-two Lords. It would probably take about three days.

With that thought, he walked over to a long bench on the side and waited patiently.

"Hello, are you here alone?"

A burly man with bull horns on his head approached him.

Su Heng glanced at the man but quickly lost interest. He was just a Lord who had received acknowledgment from the Law of Fire.

However, since the man had initiated the conversation, Su Heng couldn't completely ignore him. He replied in a cold tone.

"Alone."

"Hiss, okay."

Even though he had comprehended the Law of Fire, this Lord from the Niu Meng Clan seemed unable to withstand such coldness. He said this dejectedly and went off to chat with someone else.

Seeing this, Su Heng was content to have some peace. He was different from these Lords; with his strength, he was destined to act alone.

Time flowed by, and three days passed quickly. The quota of one hundred Lords was finally filled.

"Cosmic level, gather over here."

"Domain Lords, gather here."

"Lord level powerhouses, all to this side."

The passage gate opened, and the tens of thousands of lone soldiers were swiftly categorized. Su Heng also got up and joined the other Lords.

"All Lord Warriors, you are about to head to the most glorious and most brutal Extraterritorial Battlefield," a formidable Immortal God with silver skin and radiating a killing aura stated solemnly.

Since Su Heng had been to the Extraterritorial Battlefield once before, he was well aware of the rules inside and out. He only selectively listened to the Immortal God's explanation.

Soon, it was time for authority granting, an extremely crucial step within the Extraterritorial Battlefield!

This represented one's status upon entering the battlefield!

The rankings were divided into three levels: first, ordinary Lord Warriors; second, Elite Lord Warriors; and third, Lord Generals.

Most Lords were ordinary Lord Warriors.

Those who received acknowledgment from the Origin Laws could barely be considered Elite Lord Warriors.

Out of a hundred Elite Lord Warriors, typically only one would become a Lord General!

The authority granting was entirely determined by the Virtual Universe. As long as you had demonstrated your strength in the Virtual Universe, your level would be accurately assessed.

During his last trial, Su Heng had been granted the authority of a Lord General, and it was clear this time would be no exception.

The authority granting ceremony was swift. Among the hundred Lords, besides Su Heng, no other Lord Generals emerged.

"The authority granting ceremony is complete," the Immortal God's voice suddenly boomed, echoing in the ears of the tens of thousands of cosmic warriors.

"Everyone follow me. You will all be teleported to the Extraterritorial Battlefield shortly. The Extraterritorial Battlefield consists of various cosmic secret realms, divided into eleven battlefields. You are heading to the Seventh Battlefield, Base 025!"

"The Seventh Battlefield?" Su Heng was somewhat surprised. The first time he went was to the Third Battlefield, whose brutality was enough to rank it as the most intense among the eleven battlefields!

Its death rate reached 98.12%!

Logically, no matter which battlefield they went to, the death rate wouldn't be higher than the Third Battlefield, which should have been cause for celebration.

However, Su Heng's surprise was mainly because the Seventh Battlefield seemed to be the one Luo Feng went to in the original work!

Under the guidance of the Immortal God, the group of new recruits quickly passed through the transfer station and arrived at Base 025 in the Seventh Battlefield.

As soon as they landed, Su Heng heard shouts erupting.

"New recruits are here."

"Quick, quick, quick, stop sleeping, get to work."

Amidst the continuous shouts, over a dozen figures approached Su Heng and his group. Among them was even an Immortal God dressed in white robes!

"New recruits, welcome to the Seventh Battlefield 'Base 025' barracks. All Lords follow him, all Domain Lords follow this young one, and all Cosmic level individuals follow this young man."

The white-robed Immortal God quickly designated three guides.

The Cosmic level, Domain Lords, and Lords proceeded along three different passages.

"Esteemed Lords, the Lord encampment is ahead," the guide said.

Led by this guide, Su Heng and the others arrived at an elegantly decorated hall. The hall contained tens of millions of seats, and tens of thousands of people were already seated there.

The guide shouted loudly, "New recruits are here! This batch of new recruits includes a Lord General, so try your best to impress! Haha!"

The leader finished speaking and turned to leave.

"World Lord General?" The World Lord Warriors who had been drinking and chatting, numbering over ten thousand, rushed over.

When the World Lord soldiers got close to each other, the Smart Optical Brains they carried would prompt for the other party's authority, so the gazes of these tens of thousands of veteran World Lords instantly fell on Su Heng.

"Sorry, I'm entering for the second time, so I have the authority to act freely." Su Heng said with a slight smile, facing the gaze of the ten thousand people.

"Entering for the second time?" Some World Lords heard Su Heng's words, shook their heads, and continued their conversations.

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

However, Su Heng refused them one by one, even declining the invitations of Immortal Gods.

Although completing military merits allowed for free action, most Immortal Gods and World Lords who completed their merits formed small teams, as more people meant greater safety.

However, for Su Heng, the existence of a team was more of a hindrance, as he came here for life-and-death tempering and to seek opportunities for breakthroughs.

So he ignored all invitations and went into a residence, planning to rest for a day.

From the Noah Universe Kingdom to Black Eye Star, even with the help of the ancestor's divine kingdom teleportation, he still spent over a decade traveling through the universe.

Although this amount of travel time was nothing for a World Lord.

Su Heng still planned to rest, as this was his only remaining habit from his past life's memories.

Because I was afraid some new readers who haven't read Swallowed Star might not have the background information, I've added an extra chapter. From now on, there will be two updates daily, and a surge of updates after it's put on shelves.
