Outer-Domain Battlefield's First Battle

She turned to look at Lu Ming and explained, "They are just like this; you'll get used to it. Beast King may seem flighty, but he is reliable when it counts. His Snow Shadow Beast is a master of reconnaissance and surprise attacks."

Lu Ming smiled, signaling his understanding. "I can tell. Everyone has a very close bond."

"Who has a close bond with him/her!"

Beast King, Blood Blade, and Wind Spirit retorted almost in unison. After speaking, they glared at each other and turned their heads away.

Moon Princess couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head. "Alright, everyone get ready. We will be entering the Lotus Star Domain soon. It is a frequent combat zone, so keep your spirits up."

Hearing this, the relaxed atmosphere in the lounge instantly vanished.

Beast King put away his playful grin, his eyes turning sharp.

Blood Blade silently slung his polished battle blade onto his back, a heavy aura of the Law of Earth beginning to permeate his surroundings.

Lu Ming, however, remained relaxed.

In this Lotus Star Domain, King-Level powerhouses were almost non-existent. Even if there were a few, most conflicts were between legions, Immortal squads, or World Lord squads.

To him, it posed absolutely no threat.

His military merit requirement was two hundred million.

As long as he took out one or two Immortals, it would all be settled—simple and easy.

Moon Princess looked at the star map and said with a relaxed expression, "The Lotus Star Domain is mostly active with World Lord squads. We occasionally run into elite teams from other races, but as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any major safety issues."

As she spoke, she looked at Beast King.

"Beast King, you have plenty of experience; keep an eye on Flame Edge."

Beast King was teasing the Snow Shadow Beast in his arms and grinned at the words. "Don't worry, Captain. In the outer reaches of the Lotus Star Domain, I could walk sideways with my eyes closed. But I have a feeling Brother Flame Edge might be a ruthless character. Anyone who dares to take such an imposing codename must have a few tricks up their sleeve!"

"Flame Edge, if you really are a tough guy, don't hold back when we encounter combat later."

Blood Stone wiped his battle blade, revealing a rare smile.

"The teams we encounter in the outer Lotus Star Domain aren't very strong. Even if you unleash your full power, you won't attract any opponents too formidable."

Wind Spirit also said softly, "Let us see your strength."

Every squad hoped to have a few powerful members so that their chances of survival would be higher when encountering danger.

This was why everyone scrambled for World Lord warriors during recruitment.

BOOM!!

Just then, the spaceship jolted violently, and ripples spread across the shields.

The intelligent system's alarm sounded: "Under attack! Under attack!"

Moon Princess and the others, however, remained calm, instead discussing it casually.

"With this energy intensity, it can't even break the ship's shields. At most, it's peak World Lord level."

"It is the outer Lotus Star Domain, after all. The probability of encountering an Immortal is very low."

"Flame Edge, it's time for you to show what you've got!"

As they spoke, the spaceship hatch opened with a roar.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Beast King and the others rushed out of the ship, while Moon Princess remained inside to hold the fort.

"The enemy is in the shadow of that shattered planet to the front left, about 800,000 kilometers away!"

Moon Princess's voice echoed in their ears.

"I'll provide cover from the ship; close in quickly!"

800,000 kilometers was nothing more than a fleeting moment for World Lord warriors.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The four of them turned into streams of light, flanking from different directions.

At the same time, Moon Princess operated the ship's main cannon to provide suppressive fire.

Soon, the attackers were forced out of their hiding spot—they were eight World Lords of the Monster Race.

Kill!

When you encounter an alien race on the Outer-Domain Battlefield!

There is only slaughter!!

The two sides clashed instantly.

The Snow Shadow Beast in Beast King's arms surged in size, turning into a bolt of white lightning. Its sharp claws tore through the void, and a Monster Race World Lord was killed on the spot.

"ROAR!!"

Blood Stone moved like lightning, his giant axe descending with the heavy Law of Earth, smashing a Monster Race World Lord—along with his weapon—flying.

The wind chime spiritual weapon controlled by Wind Spirit emitted a melodious ringing, and waves of invisible sound spread out, causing two Monster Race World Lords to slow down instantly.

Lu Ming watched the three Monster Race World Lords charging toward him, the Yan Kong Blade appearing quietly in his hand.

His figure flashed repeatedly, his blade light like lightning.

Three flashes, three streaks of blade light.

With every flash of the blade, a World Lord of the Monster Race fell.

This Monster Race squad was indeed mediocre; all eight World Lords were only of standard level, and under the explosive assault of Lu Ming and his three companions, they had no power to fight back. The battle ended in a very short time.

Moon Princess steered the spaceship closer and flashed out: "Quickly sweep the battlefield and clear the spoils!"

In the Outer-Domain Battlefield, one must immediately clear the spoils and leave the area after every battle, otherwise, it is very easy to be looted by other teams drawn by the commotion.

Soon, everyone returned to the spaceship's lounge. Although this Monster Race squad didn't have much wealth, the military merit gains were decent, and most importantly, it had taken almost no effort.

Beast King patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, clicking his tongue in wonder: "Flame Edge, not bad! So clean and efficient in your first battle, you truly live up to the name of a World Lord Warrior!"

Blood Stone also revealed a rare look of curiosity: "Flame Edge, I didn't expect your blade technique to be so formidable; I barely saw you use any Laws just now."

Lu Ming said nonchalantly: "These opponents aren't worth me using my full strength."

His pure genetic level was a hundred times that of an ordinary human, and his hundred-fold peak World Lord power was comparable to an Immortal.

Fighting a few ordinary World Lords like this was like chopping melons and vegetables; it took absolutely no effort.

Blood Stone and the others were all stunned upon hearing this.

Wind Spirit even frowned slightly.

However, thinking of how Lu Ming had indeed beheaded three Monster Race World Lords in an instant just now, she didn't say anything.

Beast King, however, laughed heartily: "Good! If you have the strength, you should be arrogant! It seems our team has gained another powerful warrior; life will be easier from now on!"

Moon Princess nodded, but still reminded him: "Flame Edge, confidence is a good thing, but in the Outer-Domain Battlefield, you must never be careless."

She paused, then added: "However, since you were able to easily finish off three Monster Race members in close combat, your strength should be even greater than Wind Spirit's."

Wind Spirit listened in silence.

She knew the captain was right; if it were her, she could never have finished off the enemies in close combat so quickly.

Just as Lu Ming and his team were finishing the battle and clearing the field with ease.

About three hundred million kilometers away, behind a massive star fragment over three hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, a large-scale team was lurking in the shadows.

The leader was a Monster Race member with a burly physique, covered in dark golden scales, with a head resembling both a wolf and a lion.

Floating in front of him was a virtual screen, displaying the footage of the brief battle that had just occurred.

"Hehehe..."

The dark-golden-scaled Monster Race member let out a low, hoarse sneer, his claw-like fingertips tapping lightly against the screen.

"So it was just a human World Lord squad. That fox-woman leading them should only be an ordinary Immortal; her divine power fluctuations aren't very strong."

In the shadows behind him stood over thirty figures, densely packed, each exuding a fierce Monster Race aura. Among them was a Monster Race member shaped like a giant python, surrounded by faint fluctuations of Immortal divine power, flicking a scarlet tongue.

"Rock Wolf, the opponent's strength has been confirmed. Let's move."

The python Immortal spoke hoarsely, his vertical pupils filled with greed.

"A World Lord squad led by a human Immortal—in the outskirts of the Lotus Star Domain, this counts as a pretty good piece of fat."

The dark-golden-scaled Monster Race member known as Rock Wolf grinned, revealing rows of jagged, white teeth.
