Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield

He left the Virtual Universe Company.

"Once I get the items, it'll be time to bid farewell to my teacher and head for 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 world ring in his hands.

Yan Ning took the ring and swept it with his divine sense, confirming the contents inside. The crimson Flame Shadow Battle Blade and the metallic-luster detector lay intact within.

"Good work."

He casually rewarded the man with one Hunyuan Unit, leaving the realm lord flattered and repeatedly thanking him.

Returning to 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 of the entire training room soared sharply.

The flame patterns on the blade flowed like living things, and faint crackling sounds of space being scorched could be heard.

"Fine blade!"

Yan Ning swung it casually. A crimson blade light streaked across, leaving a charred mark on the specially reinforced training room wall.

And this wall could withstand a full-force strike from a marquis-level immortal!

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

"Everything is ready. Time to set out."

After packing up, Yan Ning once again arrived at Golden Feather Venerable's palace.

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

Golden Feather Venerable was studying the laws of time at that moment. He looked up upon hearing this. "Leaving so soon? Not staying in Chaos City to cultivate a while longer?"

Yan Ning said confidently.

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

Golden Feather Venerable pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Very well. With your current strength, as long as you don't run into a universe venerable, you should be safe."

The two talked a bit more.

Then Yan Ning took his leave.

Aboard an F9-level spaceship, Yan Ning had already left the Primordial Universe.

Within human territory, there were eight logistics bases for the Outer Domain Battlefield, and these eight planets also served as transit hubs for heading there.

Vast numbers of cosmic armies were continuously funneled through these transit hubs to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

The one Yan Ning was heading to this time was the nearest transit planet.

Black Mist Star.

After flying for a while, in a lonely stretch of cosmic space, Yan Ning's ship appeared without warning.

"Here."

He looked ahead at the planet before him—it was Black Mist Star.

As a transit planet, it was naturally no ordinary world. It was a planet that had been modified.

Its diameter exceeded one million kilometers.

"Master, receiving a docking signal from Black Mist Star."

Yan Ning nodded.

"Enter Black Mist Star."

The ship quickly sailed into Black Mist Star, and his information once again appeared in the military system.

Human, Virtual Universe Company, Demon Flame Marquis!

That was his former title, but after this, he'd probably have to be called Demon Flame King.

The ship slowly descended.

Yan Ning left the ship and casually stored it into his world ring.

Around him, many other ships were landing. When they saw Yan Ning clad in a set of King Armor, and sensed the terrifying aura emanating from him, their hearts all trembled.

"An immortal!"

The crowd bowed and made way one after another, showing respect to the immortal.

On this kind of transit planet, most of the time there were only realm lords, universe-level cultivators, and domain lords. An immortal might appear only once every few decades, and someone like Yan Ning, a king, might only show up once every thousand years.

"Respected immortal lord, welcome to Black Mist Star."

Just then, a strikingly beautiful and enchanting woman walked over and spoke respectfully.

Yan Ning nodded slightly.

"I need to go to the outer domain battlefield."

The woman nodded, then extended a hand to guide him.

"Please follow me."

Following the woman, Yan Ning arrived at a plaza spanning hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

A large number of Universe-level warriors, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords were gathered here.

They were all waiting for enough personnel to assemble before the teleportation could proceed.

The cost of a single Divine Kingdom Teleportation to the outer domain battlefield was exorbitant, so each teleport required a full hundred Realm Lords to activate.

But since Yan Ning had arrived, that was a different matter.

Three staff members from Black Mist Star reached the plaza.

"Universe-level warriors, gather here."

"Domain Lords, assemble over here."

"Realm Lord experts, please come this way."

The three staff members shouted in turn, gathering the many experts in the plaza.

The dozens of Realm Lords still waiting on the field were stunned.

Didn't they need a hundred Realm Lords to enter the outer domain battlefield?

What was going on?

Their eyes swept around, and they quickly noticed Yan Ning being led by the woman.

"Could it be because of that Immortal Lord?"

They all speculated silently.

"Everyone, you would normally have to wait a while longer until a hundred Realm Lords were gathered before being teleported to the outer domain battlefield. However, since Lord Demon Flame Marquis is also heading there this time, you can go ahead with him."

The Realm Lords understood in their hearts—only when an Immortal Lord arrived would the teleportation be activated immediately.

They were benefiting from Yan Ning's presence this time.

Of course, before departure, these Realm Lords still had to undergo the traditional authority-granting ceremony.

Before entering the outer domain battlefield, all warriors would have their status in the military determined based on their strength, and different authorities would be granted.

Naturally, this had nothing to do with Yan Ning.

He was now an Immortal Lord, so this step didn't apply to him.

Once everyone's authority had been granted, the teleportation began.

This time, they were to be sent to the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield.

The so-called outer domain battlefield was a battlefield opened up beyond human territory.

As for this Fifth Battlefield, Yan Ning really didn't know much about it.

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

Yan Ji Continent and the Star Tower were both there.

After all the preparations were complete, everyone followed the Immortal Lord stationed at the base through a spatial passage.

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

This wasn't his first Divine Kingdom Teleportation, so Yan Ning was familiar with the process.

"Here they come, here they come, more new recruits are arriving."

"Come on, come on, recruiting here, recruiting here."

"Hopefully we'll get a Realm Lord General; our squad is really short-handed lately."

A clamor suddenly erupted as everyone fully arrived on the battlefield.

The moment he stepped out of the light gate, Yan Ning saw an Immortal Lord clad in golden armor with a single horn on his forehead, leading over a dozen Realm Lords toward them.

"New recruits, welcome to Barracks Base No. 36 of the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield. Next, Universe-level warriors, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords, please follow these three to leave."

Under this man's guidance, the crowd dispersed.

On the outer domain battlefield, Universe-level warriors and Domain Lords could only join the army and fight against alien races in large groups under the leadership of an Immortal Lord. Realm Lords could choose to join the army or form their own squads.

This arrangement was perfectly reasonable.
