Yanyue Star Domain

The outer domain 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 mortality rate was infinitely close to one hundred percent.

The higher-ups arranged things this way to let these Universe-level and Domain Lord-level fighters survive a bit longer.

Of course, despite the high death rate, the rewards were certainly proportional.

Little did they know that in the original story, when Luo Feng encountered Nuo Lanshan again on the outer domain battlefield, that guy had somehow climbed all the way to become a Sector Lord.

Soon, everyone had already left, leaving only Yan Ning standing alone in place.

That Golden Armor Immortal spoke up at this moment.

"Demon Flame Marquis, welcome to the outer domain battlefield. Since you've participated in outer domain warfare before, you don't need to take on military merit tasks—you're a free agent."

Yan Ning nodded.

He naturally knew the rules of the outer domain battlefield. Generally, those coming to the outer domain battlefield for the first time had to complete their military merit tasks first and wait until they'd accumulated enough merit.

Only then could they use that merit to buy their freedom.

But this requirement only applied to the first visit to the outer domain battlefield.

There was no such demand afterward.

The Golden Armor Immortal continued.

"You have two options. First, you can choose to lead an army, equipped with ten ordinary Immortals, a thousand Sector Lords, ten thousand Domain Lords, and a hundred thousand Universe-level fighters."

"The second option is to act alone."

"The way military merit accumulates differs between these two methods..."

Yan Ning waved his hand to cut off the golden-armored man's explanation—he already knew all this.

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

"I choose to act alone."

He stated decisively.

He had a mission this time on the outer domain battlefield.

Ten thousand Immortals was no joke.

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

Leading an army?

Wouldn't that just make him a babysitter? He had no intention of dragging along those deadweights.

The Golden Armor Immortal smiled and nodded.

"Very well, Demon Flame Marquis. I'll now switch your military merit system to solo action, with merit accumulation proceeding normally."

He operated the light-brain on his wrist and entered Yan Ning's information.

"The star map of the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield has been sent to your light-brain. You can review it at your leisure. Finally, I wish you fruitful gains on the outer domain battlefield."

"Alright, thank you."

Yan Ning nodded.

Then, under the guidance of a soldier, he headed toward his rest area.

In the military camp base, a sealed Marquis-level Immortal had an exclusive rest area—a privilege granted to the strong.

His rest area was a manor covering several thousand acres, no less impressive than the one in Chaos City.

"Alright, you may go. I can handle the rest myself."

The soldier nodded respectfully.

"Understood, Demon Flame Marquis. If you need anything, you can contact us at any time through your smart light-brain."

Yan Ning nodded.

Then the soldier left directly.

He himself walked into the manor.

The environment here was truly excellent—the camp base had thought things through thoroughly.

Entering the pavilion within the manor, Yan Ning opened his smart light-brain.

He projected the star map of the Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield, sat down on the floor, and carefully screened certain areas within the map.

His mission this time was to kill ten thousand Immortals—a massive number—so he needed to carefully choose where to fight over the coming period.

The number of Immortals had to be high.

Of course, it was also best not to be too high.

His task was to kill ten thousand Immortals, with no requirement on their strength—meaning killing ordinary Immortals was fine. For the sake of efficiency, he naturally chose the area with the highest concentration of ordinary Immortals.

The Fifth Outer Domain Battlefield covered an extremely vast area, and the star map was very complex.

His targets were mainly concentrated in those special zones—places like the Flame Sacrifice Continent and the Star Tower, where large numbers of immortals gathered to fight and kill.

"The Fire Wheel Starfield... not a bad place, but the number of immortals is too low. Next."

"The Chaotic Star Zone is even worse—basically all army operations, mostly Domain Lords. Next."

Yan Ning scanned through them one by one, his speed incredibly fast.

Most regions he dismissed outright—either the level was too low with too few powerhouses, or there were too many Kings.

Though he prided himself on having reached the peak of King-level limits.

Killing a King was still somewhat difficult.

First of all, if the opponent was determined to flee, he would need to go through some trouble.

After picking and choosing, his gaze finally settled on a place called the Yanyue Star Domain.

"This Yanyue Star Domain seems decent. According to the intel, at least thirty thousand alien immortals are gathered here, and Kings only make up a small portion."

He opened the data on the Yanyue Star Domain and examined it carefully.

It was a bit far from No. 36 Barracks Base, with a high danger level. Without immortal strength, one had to follow the army to move around; otherwise, survival was nearly impossible.

After reviewing a large amount of information about the Yanyue Star Domain, Yan Ning grew more and more satisfied. This place was practically tailor-made for him.

With his strength, he was almost certain to face no danger here.

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

Plus, with the vast number of immortals remaining, he could likely complete this mission's check-in within this star domain.

"Decided. This is the place. Set off now!"

Yan Ning made the decision on the spot.

He went to the spaceship parking area outside, took out his F9-class spaceship.

Yan Ning piloted the ship and quickly left No. 36 Barracks Base.

Heading into the depths of space.

"Accelerate into dark space. Target: Yanyue Star Domain. Full speed ahead."

Yan Ning commanded.

"Yes, Master."

The ship immediately began accelerating, soon reaching light speed and shuttling into dark space.

"Master, the ship has entered dark space. Estimated arrival at Yanyue Star Domain in twelve days."

Yan Ning nodded.

Twenty-two days wasn't long, so he closed his eyes to rest.

His next goal wasn't just slaughter, of course.

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

After all, he was now a King.

It was time to have his own technique.

And the Beast God Path—he had already walked far along it, so naturally he needed to continue studying and cultivating.

Unfortunately, the human race didn't have much understanding of the Beast God Path.

The Fire Void Beast God Path he cultivated could only advance rapidly within the Ancestral God Sect.

Too bad the Ancestral God Sect wasn't easy to enter.

He wasn't a special lifeform; to enter the Ancestral God Sect, he would need the clan's Ancestral God Inheritance Token.

He had no way to obtain that thing right now.

Maybe there would be a chance in the future.

But for now, he had to play it steady and complete the check-in task first.

What he most hoped to get from the check-in reward was a clone.

If only he could get a clone.

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