Yanyue Star Domain

The Outer Battlefield was a massive meat grinder for low- and mid-level warriors. If they didn't stick with the main force and acted alone, their chances of survival were virtually zero.

The higher-ups arranged things this way to help Universe- and Domain Lord-level warriors survive a little longer.

Of course, though the death rate was high, the rewards were sure to be proportional.

As it happened, in the original story, when Luo Feng encountered Nuo Lanshan on the Outer Battlefield again, that guy had actually made it all the way to Realm Lord.

Soon, everyone had left, leaving only Yan Ning standing where he was.

The Golden Armor Immortal spoke.

"Marquis Demon Flame, welcome to the Outer Battlefield. Since you've taken part in an Outer Battlefield war before, you don't need to accept a military merit mission and are free to act as you wish."

Yan Ning nodded.

He naturally knew the rules of the Outer Battlefield. Usually, personnel visiting for the first time had to complete a military merit mission and accumulate enough military merit.

Only then could they exchange their military merit for the freedom to act as they wished.

But this was only required on their first visit to the Outer Battlefield.

There were no such requirements afterward.

The Golden Armor Immortal continued.

"You have two options. The first is to lead a force consisting of ten Ordinary Immortals, a thousand Realm Lords, ten thousand Domain Lords, and one hundred thousand Universe Levels."

"The second option is to act alone."

"The methods of accumulating military merit differ between these two options..."

Yan Ning raised a hand to cut off the Golden Armor Immortal's explanation. He already knew all of this.

He didn't want to listen to him drone on about it again.

"I choose to act alone."

He answered decisively.

He had a mission to carry out on the Outer Battlefield.

Ten thousand Immortals was no joke.

Even with his strength, he had no idea how long it would take.

Lead an army?

Wouldn't that make me their babysitter? He didn't want to drag around all that dead weight.

The Golden Armor Immortal smiled and nodded.

"All right, Marquis Demon Flame. I'll change your Military Merit System settings to solo action now. Your military merit will accumulate at the normal rate."

He operated the optical computer on his wrist and entered Yan Ning's information.

"The star map of the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield has been sent to your Optical Computer. You can view it at your leisure. I hope you reap plenty of rewards on the Outer Battlefield."

"All right, thanks."

Yan Ning nodded.

Then, guided by a soldier, he headed to his own quarters.

At the Barracks Base, Marquis Immortals had their own private quarters. It was a privilege reserved for the strong.

His quarters were a manor covering several thousand mu, no less impressive than the one he had in Chaos City.

"All right, you can go. I can take care of things from here."

The soldier nodded respectfully.

"Certainly, Marquis Demon Flame. If you need anything, you can contact us at any time through your Smart Optical Brain."

Yan Ning nodded.

The soldier then left.

Yan Ning entered the manor.

The surroundings were quite pleasant. The Barracks Base had thought of everything.

He walked into the pavilion in the manor.

Yan Ning activated his Smart Optical Brain.

He projected the star map of the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield, sat down, and carefully examined the various regions shown on it.

His mission was to kill ten thousand Immortals, a huge number, so he had to choose his battlefield carefully for the coming period.

He needed an area with plenty of Immortals.

Of course, it would be best if there weren't too many, either.

His mission was to kill ten thousand Immortals, and there were no requirements regarding their strength. Ordinary Immortals would count, too. To maximize his efficiency,

he naturally needed to choose an area with the largest number of Ordinary Immortals.

The Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield covered a vast region, and its star map was extremely complex.

He focused mainly on special regions, places like Flame Sacrifice Continent and Star Tower, where large numbers of Immortals gathered and fought.

"The Fire Wheel Starfield seems like a decent place, but there are too few Immortals. Next."

"The Chaotic Star Zone is even worse. It's mostly legion battles, and the fighters are all Realm Lords. Next."

Yan Ning went through them one by one at incredible speed.

He wasn't interested in most of the regions. Either the level was too low and there weren't enough strong fighters, or there were too many Sealed Kings.

Though he considered himself to be at the very peak of Peak King strength,

killing a Sealed King would still be difficult.

For one thing, if his opponent was determined to flee, Yan Ning would have to go to some trouble to stop him.

After looking through one region after another, he finally settled on a place called the Yanyue Star Domain.

"The Yanyue Star Domain seems pretty good. According to the information, at least thirty thousand Alien Race Immortals have gathered there, and only a small portion of them are Sealed Kings."

He opened the Yanyue Star Domain's file and examined it carefully.

It was quite far from the No. 36 Barracks Base, and the danger level was high. Anyone without Immortal-level strength had to travel with an army; otherwise, they had almost no chance of survival.

After reviewing a great deal of information about the Yanyue Star Domain, Yan Ning grew more and more satisfied. The place seemed tailor-made for him.

With his strength, he was almost certain to be safe there.

There were only a few Sealed Kings, and he could handle them—perhaps even kill them.

With all those other Immortals as well, he could very well complete his Check-in System mission in this star domain.

"This is the place. I'm leaving now!"

Yan Ning made his decision at once.

He went outside to the ship docking area and took out his F9-class Spaceship.

Yan Ning piloted the ship out of the No. 36 Barracks Base at high speed.

It headed toward the depths of the universe.

"Accelerate and enter the Dark Universe. Destination: the Yanyue Star Domain. Full speed ahead."

Yan Ning gave the order.

"Yes, Master."

The ship immediately began accelerating. It soon reached the speed of light and entered the Dark Universe.

"Master, the ship has entered the Dark Universe. It is expected to reach the Yanyue Star Domain in twelve days."

Yan Ning nodded.

Twenty-two days wasn't long. He closed his eyes and began to rest.

Killing wasn't his only goal for what lay ahead.

He also needed to create a secret technique of his own through battle.

He was a Sealed King now, after all.

It was time he had a secret technique of his own.

He also needed to keep studying and cultivating the Beast God Path. He had already come a long way.

Unfortunately, the Human Race didn't know much about the Beast God Path.

His Fire Void Beast God Path could only advance rapidly in the Ancestral God Sect.

But getting into the Ancestral God Sect wasn't as simple as asking to join.

He wasn't a Special Lifeform, so the only way for him to enter the Ancestral God Sect was with an Ancestral God Inheritance Token from his race.

He had no way of getting one right now.

Perhaps he'd have a chance in the future.

But for now, he could only take things step by step and finish his Check-in System mission first.

The reward he wanted most from the Check-in System was a clone.

It would be great if it gave him one.

He hoped the Check-in System wouldn't let him down.
