The Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield

After leaving the Virtual Universe.

"Once I have the items, it'll be time to bid my teacher farewell and head to the Outer Domain Battlefield."

Two days later.

"Lord Yan Ning, your items have arrived."

A Realm Lord in a silver uniform stood respectfully outside the hall, holding an ancient-looking World Ring.

Yan Ning took the ring and swept it with his mind. He confirmed that the items inside—the bright-red Flame Shadow Battle Blade and the metallic-looking detector—were both intact.

"Thanks for your effort."

He casually rewarded the man with 1 Hunyuan Unit, leaving the Realm Lord overwhelmed and repeatedly thanking him.

Back in the hall, Yan Ning eagerly took out the two pieces of equipment.

"Clang—"

The moment the Flame Shadow Battle Blade left its sheath, the temperature in the entire training room shot up.

The flame patterns on the blade flowed as if alive, and the faint sizzling sound of space being scorched could be heard.

"What a fine blade!"

Yan Ning gave it a casual swing. A crimson blade flash swept across the room, leaving a charred mark on the specially reinforced training room wall.

That wall could withstand a full-force strike from a Marquis Immortal!

Next, he tested the detector. With a detection range of one billion kilometers, it was enough to let him spot most dangers on the Outer Domain Battlefield in advance.

"Everything's ready. Time to go."

After getting everything in order, Yan Ning returned to Golden Feather Venerable's palace.

"Teacher, your disciple is ready to head to the Outer Domain Battlefield for training."

Golden Feather Venerable was studying the Time Law. He looked up at Yan Ning's words. "Leaving so soon? Won't you keep training in Chaos City a little longer?"

Yan Ning answered confidently.

"Your disciple believes that actual combat is the best form of training."

Golden Feather Venerable considered it for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Very well. With your current strength, you should be able to protect yourself, as long as you don't run into a Universe Venerable."

The two chatted for a while longer.

Then Yan Ning took his leave.

Aboard the F9-Class Spaceship, Yan Ning had already left the Primordial Universe.

There were eight logistics bases for the Outer Domain Battlefield within the Human Territory. These eight planets also served as transfer bases for those heading to the battlefield.

A steady stream of Cosmic Army troops was transported to the Outer Domain Battlefield through these transfer bases.

Yan Ning was heading to the nearest transfer planet.

Black Mist Star.

After flying for some time, his spaceship appeared without warning in a desolate stretch of space.

"We've arrived."

He looked toward the planet ahead. It was Black Mist Star.

As a transfer planet, it was naturally no ordinary world. It had been created by modifying a planet.

Its diameter exceeded one million kilometers.

"Master, we've received Black Mist Star's guiding signal."

Yan Ning nodded.

"Enter Black Mist Star."

The spaceship quickly entered Black Mist Star, and his information appeared in the military system once more.

Human. Virtual Universe Company. Demon Flame Marquis!

That had been his title before, but after this trip, he would probably have to change it to Demon Flame King.

The spaceship slowly touched down.

Yan Ning stepped out and casually stored it in his World Ring.

Many other spaceships landed nearby. When their occupants saw Yan Ning clad in King Armor,

they sensed his terrifying aura and felt their hearts jolt.

"An Immortal God!"

Everyone bowed and made way, showing their respect for the Immortal God.

On a transfer planet like this, most people were Realm Lords, Universe Levels, or Domain Lords. An Immortal God might appear only once every few decades. As for a Sealed King like Yan Ning, one might show up only once in a thousand years.

"Honored Immortal God, welcome to Black Mist Star."

Just then, a beautiful and alluring woman approached and spoke respectfully.

Yan Ning nodded slightly.

"I want to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield."

The woman nodded, then gestured with one hand.

"Please follow me."

Following the woman, Yan Ning arrived at a plaza more than a hundred kilometers across.

Large numbers of Universe Levels, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords were gathered there.

They were waiting for enough people to assemble before they could be transported.

Divine Kingdom Teleportation to the Outer Domain Battlefield was extremely costly, so each transmission required a hundred Realm Lords to gather before it could be initiated.

But with Yan Ning here, things were different.

Three Black Mist Star staff members arrived at the plaza.

"Universe Levels, gather over here."

"Domain Lords, gather over here."

"Realm Lords, please come this way."

The three staff members called out in turn, directing the many gathered experts.

The dozens of Realm Lords who were still waiting on the plaza froze.

Didn't they need a hundred Realm Lords to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield?

What was going on?

They looked around and soon noticed Yan Ning, who was being escorted by the woman.

"Could it be because of that Immortal God?"

They speculated among themselves.

"Everyone, you would normally have to wait a while longer. You'd be transported to the Outer Domain Battlefield once a hundred Realm Lords had gathered. But since Lord Demon Flame Marquis is heading there as well, you can depart early with him."

The Realm Lords understood. Only the arrival of an Immortal God could prompt an immediate transmission.

They had Yan Ning to thank for this.

Of course, before setting out, the Realm Lords still had to undergo the traditional ceremony to be granted their military permissions.

Before entering the Outer Domain Battlefield, every soldier had their standing in the military determined according to their strength, and was granted the appropriate permissions.

Naturally, none of this applied to Yan Ning.

He was already an Immortal God, so he did not need to go through this process.

Once everyone had been granted their permissions,

the transmission began.

They were being sent to the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield.

The Outer Domain Battlefield was a battleground established beyond the borders of human territory.

Yan Ning didn't know much about the Fifth Battlefield.

In the original story, Luo Feng seemed to have gone to the Seventh Outer Domain Battlefield.

The Yan Sacrifice Continent and the Star Tower were both there.

Once all the preparations were complete,

everyone followed the Immortal God stationed at the base through a spatial passage.

Using a Divine Kingdom as a transit point, they soon arrived at the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield.

This wasn't Yan Ning's first Divine Kingdom Teleportation, so he knew the process well.

"Here they come! More new recruits!"

"Come on over! We're recruiting!"

"Hope we get a Realm Lord General. Our squad's been short-handed lately."

A sudden commotion broke out as everyone arrived on the battlefield.

As soon as Yan Ning stepped through the light gate, he saw an Immortal God in golden armor, with a single horn on his forehead, approaching with a dozen or so Realm Lords.

"New recruits, welcome to Barracks Base No. 36 on the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield. Universe Levels, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords, follow these three men."

At the man's direction, the group split up and left.

On the Outer Domain Battlefield, Universe Levels and Domain Lords could only join the army and fight the Alien Race's main forces under the command of an Immortal God. Realm Lords could choose to join a unit or form their own squad.

This arrangement made perfect sense.
