These pig demons belong to the ' Black Boar Race, ' a lower-ranking race among the Demon Race.

Despite being a low-level Demon Race, they are enormous in size, and human World Lord of the same level are generally no match for them.

"Roar!!"

"Human Immortal God Squad, kill! kill! kill!"

A group of pig demons, like fighting madmen, charged forward immediately. Without any strategy, they all rushed towards their respective targets.

"These guys are incredibly stupid, but there are a lot of them. Generally, they're just cannon fodder in Outer Domain Battlefield. It's unbelievable that they've managed to form an Elite Squad, but that's about it."

The Mang Han, wielding two axes, unleashed his understanding of the laws. Within his Ling Yu of law, countless cyan rays transformed into powerful wind blades, slashing towards the Immortal God boar demon.

Puff puff puff!!

The wind blades left numerous wounds on the boar demon's body.

"No wonder it's a pig; its skin is really thick and its flesh is tough."

The Law Domain had little effect, so the Mang Han directly charged at the Immortal pig demon with his double axes.

The two sides quickly engaged in battle.

The others then chose their opponents.

One for each person.

" Han Li, fight with all your might. If anything unexpected happens, I will come to your aid."

The voice of Azure Feather Marquis entered his ears. This Marquis Immortal had a comprehensive view of the situation and would take timely action whenever something went wrong, ensuring the safety of everyone.

"Clear."

After replying, Lu Qingshan looked at the boar demon charging towards him. It was hundreds of meters tall, with blood-red eyes and ferocious tusks... However, just as the boar demon was about to reach him, it suddenly stopped and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Humans, ha ha ha, good riddance, good riddance!"

"Idiot! It's an illusionist!"

The pig demon's kin hurriedly warned them, but it was too late. In the brief moment the pig demon was distracted, Lu Qingshan's figure flashed past, appearing behind the pig demon and slicing off its massive pig head with a single stroke.

"He really is a stupid pig."

Lu Qingshan sheathed his knife and watched the others fight. These low-level pig demons wouldn't even appear in the trial space.

Apart from the Dwarf who was facing a World Lord General, all the other pig demons were Elite World Lord. Even with their enormous size, they could only be trampled upon.

The Vulture was the second to finish the battle; his Fire God Weapon burned a boar demon to ashes.

The Man Niu, being a martial artist, struggled somewhat against the boar demon's charge, but still managed to overwhelm its opponent.

"A swift and decisive victory!"

The voice of Azure Feather Marquis came.

" Han Li, Vulture, provide support to the others."

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan wasn't worried about stealing the monster's kill. He immediately used an illusion spell to hit the Man Niu on the ground. The boar demon was trapped in the illusion and went mad. The Man Niu's axe.

" Han Li, that's awesome! Thanks!"

The Man Niu expressed its gratitude.

On the other side, the Vulture also helped Yao Rao. Yao Rao's illusion magic could easily control her opponent, but her attack power was weak, making it difficult to quickly defeat the thick-skinned boar demon.

Then the others joined the attack, Dwarf's only opponent, a World Lord General, was hacked into mincemeat...

The last remaining Immortal God- boar demon, seeing that all his subordinates were dead, once again used his clever mind to seize the high ground. First, with a loud bang, he exploded half of his head, blasting away the Mang Han who was entangled with him, and then seized the opportunity to turn and run away.

However, Azure Feather Marquis, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, would not let them escape. He made a move and annihilated his divine body with a single sword strike.

"Clean up the battlefield and leave!"

Azure Feather Marquis gave an order, but even without his permission, after the battle ended, everyone began cleaning up the battlefield and boarded their spaceship again within seconds, leaving the place.

Once inside the spaceship's lounge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Despite being just an ordinary E-class spaceship, the lounge was made of F9 metal and could be moved to other spaceships at any time. Generally, even those at the Marquis Immortal would be unable to break through the lounge's defenses.

In Outer Domain Battlefield, spaceships are consumables, and few people use high-level spaceships. After all, in the battlefield, the speed of travel is basically sub-light, and even C-class spaceship meets the standard.

"Boss, have enemy reinforcements just arrived?"

"I can't believe it," the Mang Han asked curiously.

"Hmm." Azure Feather Marquis nodded. "About 100 million kilometers away, there are two small teams of Demon Race approaching us. It's probably that pig demon Immortal God who sent out a distress message."

Azure Feather Marquis looked at Lu Qingshan and explained, " Han Li, in the battles of the Outer Domain Battlefield, we must always be careful. Even if we can kill the enemy, if we cannot quickly end the battle, we need to retreat in time, because we may be surrounded by the enemy. Of course, the same applies to us. If we are surrounded by Alien Race, we can call for support from our own kind and allies within a radius of hundreds of billions of kilometers."

Azure Feather Marquis, like a qualified teacher, explained his experience on the Outer Domain Battlefield. Then he spoke.

Let's take stock of our spoils.

After all, they had just wiped out an Elite Squad of Demon Race, and everyone was eager to see what the spoils of war were.

However, very soon...

Everyone started cursing.

"Ptooey, ptooey, what is this thing?"

"It's all junk. Are these pig demons scavenging for scraps? The most valuable one isn't even worth a single Hunyuan Unit."

"Mine's the same, there's even a red bellyband? This pig demon is a pervert!"

She spat a few times, Yao Rao.

Lu Qingshan also released everything from the World Ring he had found.

With his limited perspective, all he saw were scrap metal.

Among these spoils of war were several Metal Puppet.

The Metal Puppet has a pig's head but a human body, making it look quite comical.

The Yao Rao threw away the red bellyband with disgust, then looked at the Metal Puppet and felt another wave of nausea. She said, "These stupid pigs, even their Metal Puppet- making is disgusting, putting their pig heads on our human bodies."

"Heh, they're too big for spaceships, so they created these Metal Puppet to move around outside, keeping their massive bodies inside their World Ring. These guys, putting their ugly heads on our human bodies, clearly have ulterior motives and want to dominate us humans."

Azure Feather Marquis, fearing that Lu Qingshan might not know, explained.

" The Demon Race is ambitious and has long coveted our Human Race territory. I've heard they even want to bring the Starry Sky Beast Alliance into their camp. Do you think those noble Starry Sky Behemoth would even look at this trash?"

"Indeed, all Demon Race are trash, and these Black Boar Race are the worst of the worst!"

Looking at the many broken items inside the spaceship, Azure Feather Marquis said, "I don't want these. You can distribute them yourselves. Anyway, I've already obtained the military merit for killing Immortal."

"Haha, then we won't stand on ceremony. Does anyone have anything they like? If not, we'll pack them up and sell them back at the Barracks Base, and then we'll split the profits."

Everyone shook their heads. They all despised the ugly Black Boar Race demons. Even if they had one or two decent items, they still found them too dirty.

" Han Li, this time you killed a World Lord and assisted others in killing their opponents. Let's see if you've earned any military merit."

The Yao Rao offered a reminder.

"Hmm, military merits..." Lu Qingshan glanced at his military merits page in the Virtual Universe, which read: 1.75 million merits.

"Only 1.75 million."

Lu Qingshan spoke.

"That's quite a lot, I only have 850,000," the Man Niu said with a grin.

"I'll give you 2 million." Vulture laughed heartily. Apart from the two Immortal God present, he probably had the most military achievements.

"Being Spirit Reader is still the best; they're the fastest at killing."

The Man Niu was somewhat envious.

Listening to the others' discussions, Lu Qingshan calculated his military merits. One battle was worth 1.75 million, and a hundred battles would only amount to 175 million. To accumulate his 1 billion military merits, he would need to participate in at least 500 such battles.

Moreover, this is only the military merit quota given in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

The Virtual Universe Company also gave him another quota: 100 trillion military merits.

If he were to reveal this number, even Azure Feather Marquis would probably be shocked.

According to the method for determining military merits in Outer Domain Battlefield.

Killing an Ordinary World Lord alone earns 100,000 military merits, World Lord Elite 1 million military merits, and World Lord General 10 million military merits.

This is at the World Lord Level.

There are only two levels of Immortal Army Lord. Ordinary Immortal Army Lord have 100 million military merits, High-level Immortal Army Lord 1 billion military merits. The peak level is also included in the advanced level.

The Early Marquis 10 billion military merits, the High-level Marquis 100 billion military merits, and the Peak Marquis 1 trillion military merits.

The Initial King requires 10 trillion military merits.

The High King requires 100 trillion military merits.

The Peak King is 1000 trillion military merits.

Moreover, only by completing the kill alone can one obtain the full military merit. In other words, if Lu Qingshan wants to complete the military merit quota set for him by the Virtual Universe Company, he needs to kill at least one High King on his own before the mission is considered complete.

That standard is a bit too high!

To kill High King, one needs at least Peak King, which requires complete mastery of one of the three major branches of the Higher Law.

Lu Qingshan suspected that this was definitely due to the fact that he had exposed the life forms of two Immortal -Peak Marquis plants at the peak of the Marquis level when he was assassinated on the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Capital Star. He had relied on the life forms of the plants to hold out for a long time under the pursuit of the King-level Immortal, and the company must have taken that into account.

He was somewhat relieved that he had been wise, as he hadn't used many of his trump cards at the time, such as the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, his True Treasure weapons, and his armor.

If he were to activate the Time Overlord Emperor Armor, gaining a thousand times the World Lord Power, and with the addition of his Body Amplitude, a total of 16,000 times the World Lord Power, he would be able to contend with Initial King. In that case, the military merits awarded to him by the Virtual Universe Company might even reach 1000 trillion.

"That's the advantage of not revealing your strength too easily."

The spaceship sped through the Shattered Star Belt belt, quickly shaking off the two Alien Race teams.

A few days later, the team arrived at a piece of star debris that was several hundred kilometers in size, and everyone left the spaceship.

Azure Feather Marquis explained, "This is our Green Feather Squad's base in the Shattered Star Belt. It's well-equipped, and there are two allied squads nearby for mutual support, so it's very safe... Everyone, please rest well first, and we'll prepare for the next battle."

All the members of the Green Feather Squad entered the base; some digested the spoils of the battle, while others went into the Virtual Universe to enjoy themselves.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Shattered Star Belt, battles don't happen all the time. If you choose a good stronghold, it's rare for Alien Race squads to come and attack you.

Those who survive on the Outer Domain Battlefield are all seasoned veterans, except for some low-level Demon Race who are incredibly stupid, and they generally don't live very long.

One day, three months later.

Green Feather suddenly summoned everyone.

"80 million kilometers to our left, an allied squad is under attack and requests backup. The enemy has three Immortal Army Lord. What do you all think? Should we send reinforcements...?"

"Three Immortal God? Are there any High-level Immortal Military Lord among them?"

"I asked the Dwarf pharmacist."

"According to my detector, there are only three auras of Ordinary Immortal Army Lord. Of course, the detector only reflects the strength displayed by the opponent, so I cannot make a definitive judgment."

Green Feather said solemnly.

"Boss, let's get to it. It's been three months since we made a move, and those bastards have practically delivered themselves to our doorstep. We can't let them get away."

"Damn, I have a feeling this deal will be very profitable."

" Human Race allies should certainly come to the rescue."
