Having successfully collected two sets of General Armor and left the Wulong Starfield, Luo Ao's plan was to head directly to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Inside the control room of a brand-new silver monster spaceship.

" Luo Ao, if you want to be teleported to the Outer Domain Battlefield, I can give you a ride this time. I left a spatial coordinate token on ' Black Cang Planet ' before, which can be used to Divine Kingdom Teleportation." The one speaking next to Luo Ao was none other than Frost Moon King Beiya.

Among the entire Silver Moon Planet lineage, these two are the strongest, and they often interact. At least for small things like helping each other travel, Beiya is happy to do it.

"Thanks." The Auxiliary Lifeform that Luo Ao cultivated himself was still at the Peak World Lord and had not yet broken through to Immortal, so he really couldn't use the Divine Kingdom Teleportation technique right now.

"It's nothing." Although Divine Kingdom Teleportation requires some resources, Beiya's wealth far exceeds that of an average King Rank, so she doesn't care about such a small amount.

Black Cang Planet is one of the eight major logistics bases within Human Territory and a fixed transport point for the Cosmic Army. Large armies of cosmic warriors and many lone wolves who intend to participate in inter-racial wars can go to Gulin Planet, be assigned, and then be teleported to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

After Divine Kingdom Teleportation and spending two days traveling through space, Luo Ao finally arrived at his destination.

"Arrive!"

That's Black Cang Planet!

Inside the control room of the silver monster spaceship, Luo Ao gazed at the enormous planet in the distance—that was Black Cang Planet!

Black Cang Planet is a massive, man-made planet with a diameter of 990,000 kilometers, truly deserving the title of a Star Fortress.

Even if attacked by several Universe Venerable, Black Cang Planet would remain unharmed.

At this moment, Luo Ao was riding in an F9-class spaceship that he had purchased later. In the universe, it would at least be considered the standard equipment for Marquis-level Immortal.

"Drop!"

"Master, I have received a guidance signal from inside Black Cang Planet."

The voice of the intelligent being Abu appeared in Luo Ao's mind. "The signal has been established. Should we proceed according to the guidance from within Black Cang Planet?"

"Hmm," Luo Ao nodded.

Whoosh!

The silver monster spaceship transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and swiftly flew towards the Black Cang Planet.

"Drop!"

Following the traction signal from the Black Cang Planet, the spaceship flew into one of the many deep passages on the surface of this artificial planet.

From the starry sky, these deep passages are inconspicuous, but only when you fly closer do you realize that each one is over a hundred kilometers wide.

A moment later.

The silver monster spaceship slowly landed on the spaceship parking platform.

"Wow!" A long-haired man in silver standard combat armor looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... an F9-level metal Space-shocking Silver Mother?"

"Such an F9-class spaceship must cost at least several million Hunyuan Unit!"

Wow!

The hatch opened.

A figure emerged from the spaceship's hatch. It was a black-haired man wearing Silver Battle Armor, his face also concealed beneath a silver visor. His entire body was clad in Flowing Light silver armor, its streamlined design exuding a sense of quality.

"Respected Immortal God, I am a staff member here. May I ask what brings you here?" The long-haired man in standard battle armor hurriedly asked respectfully, secretly astonished, " Immortal God... and able to afford such an expensive F9-class spaceship, could he be Marquis Immortal God?"

Luo Ao glanced at him indifferently. The man in the standard battle armor looked very approachable, and his eyes were very bright, as if he were one of the more famous ' Star Eye Race ' in the universe.

"I applied to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield, but I don't know which way to go?" Luo Ao asked.

Upon hearing this...

The man in the standard combat armor was taken aback.

The opponent's aura was clearly that of Immortal God, yet this was their first time entering the Outer Domain Battlefield?

Without much hesitation, he pointed to a wide, transparent glass corridor in the distance. "Sir, you can follow this corridor to the meeting point, where someone will be there to receive you and handle all the necessary matters."

The first time Immortal God has entered the Outer Domain Battlefield is rare, but it does happen occasionally.

After all, it's impossible for all World Lord to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield. It's quite normal for those World Lord to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield after they become Immortal.

This phenomenon is especially common among people from powerful families or disciples of powerful figures. He recalled the previous F9-class spaceship and secretly guessed that this Immortal God must have a very impressive background.

"Thanks," Luo Ao nodded.

He proceeded directly along the passage, which was only a little over 3,000 kilometers long, and soon reached its end, where he saw a beautiful square.

He looked up.

The plaza was enormous, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, with many alloy benches scattered around it. Several thousand space warriors, eager to join the battle, sat there.

"Sigh, for lone wolves like us, it takes a hundred World Lord experts to teleport to the Outer Domain Battlefield at once. It's really... I spent a full thirteen years traveling by spaceship to get to this Black Cang Planet, and I didn't expect that I would have to wait even after arriving here!"

Not far from the entrance to the passage, a tall figure clad in dark red armor sat on a bench, complaining.

This man was a full six meters tall, with a pair of curved horns on his head and a blood-red mask that made him look like a ferocious demon. In addition, his weapon was a blood-red scythe, making him look extremely intimidating.

" The Evil Fiend Race?" Luo Ao glanced sideways slightly. This person should be from the ' Evil Fiend Race, ' a very famous race among the Human Race in the universe.

The Evil Fiend Race can reach the Universe Level upon reaching adulthood. Although they cannot compare to the pinnacle bloodlines of Human Race such as the Manka Star People, they are still considered quite good among Human Race!

Beside him sat a lion-headed World Lord with golden mane, who said in a deep voice, "After all, gathering lone wolves is not like the armies of various Universe Country. If a certain number of people aren't gathered, the logistical operating costs will be high. You've come at a good time. I've been waiting here for 10 days, and we still need 32 more World Lord to gather 100 people."

"There's nothing we can do but keep waiting!"

The two then raised their glasses and began drinking and chatting.

"Hey, look, someone else is coming." A Domain Lord warrior's voice came from the side.

The powerful World Lord of the Evil Fiend Race also turned his head to look, then suddenly stood up and respectfully bowed to the man in the bright silver armor, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Wow, it's Immortal God!"

"Is this person also going to the Outer Domain Battlefield?"

A few hushed whispers drifted from the surroundings.

Then everyone stood up and bowed respectfully in unison. "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Luo Ao looked around and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Just then, the gate to the passageway beside the plaza suddenly opened, and an Immortal God dressed in black robes walked out of the passageway.

The black-robed Immortal God noticed Luo Ao in the arena instantly and quickly walked over.

"Hello, I am Xila, and I am here specifically to guide lone travelers who come to Black Cang Planet. You are here to go to the Outer Domain Battlefield, right?" The black-robed Immortal God smiled, his whole being as warm as the sun.

"Yes!" Luo Ao nodded with a smile.

"Please wait a moment!" said the Immortal God Xila with a smile.

Then, Xila turned to the nearly ten thousand lone travelers in the square and said loudly, "Little ones, you are very lucky! Because your group has encountered an Immortal God, we no longer need to gather the quota of one hundred World Lord. Soon you will be teleported to the most glorious and also the most brutal Outer Domain Battlefield!"

The lone travelers were quite pleased to hear that they no longer needed to wait.

"Great, we don't have to wait any longer!"

"We were lucky this time!"

"Of course! That's Immortal God. Even with high logistical costs, we wouldn't have an Immortal God waiting here specifically for that!"

"The status of Immortal God is indeed high. I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to break through to Immortal?"

"Silence!" the Immortal God Yidun whispered.

The square immediately fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Xila immediately scanned the entire area and began quickly categorizing the nearly ten thousand lone pedestrians in the square.

" Universe Level, all assemble here."

" Domain Lord, gather here."

Nearly ten thousand lone travelers were quickly separated, leaving only a few dozen World Lord Level powerhouses behind.

Xila continued, "As for the World Lord Level experts, all of you come with me. We will conduct a traditional licensing ceremony for you later."

"Licensing ceremony?"

"What's the meaning?"

Does anyone understand?

The World Lord remained silent, many whispering amongst themselves. Clearly, the vast majority of these lone travelers were completely unaware of the details of participating in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Xila clearly knew this, and then explained, "The authorization is to determine your exact location within the military!"

" The Virtual Universe Network will rate your strength based on your performance. The military is a hierarchical system where subordinates must obey their superiors, so it is essential to clearly define your status and authority within the military."

"The rating system is divided into three levels: ' Ordinary World Lord Warrior,' ' Elite World Lord Warrior,' and ' World Lord General!'"

Luo Ao listened quietly from the side.

The vast majority of World Lord are just Ordinary World Lord Warrior.

Those who can gain the recognition of the Origin Law are generally Peak World Lord experts, but in the Outer Domain Battlefield, they can barely be considered Elite World Lord Warrior.

As for World Lord General, one Elite World Lord Warrior World Lord General Warriors!

The black-robed Immortal God continued, "If any of you haven't unleashed your full power in the Virtual Universe and are worried that the licensing ceremony will be unfair, then enter the Virtual Universe Network now and demonstrate your strongest abilities. The licensing process will begin shortly."

After saying that.

He then looked at Luo Ao and said with a smile, "Although you are a newcomer, as an Immortal God, you are different from them. Please come with me."

Luo Ao smiled and nodded.

The black-robed Immortal God led Luo Ao into the passageway beside the plaza, asking as they walked, "May I ask your name?"

"Hmm..." Luo Ao hesitated for a moment, "You can call me ' Space Emperor '."

" Space Emperor?"

Xila immediately laughed, "Your nickname is really imposing; you're quite confident in yourself."

Within the Cosmic Army, people rarely use real names; they usually address each other by nicknames. The title "Space Emperor " clearly doesn't sound like a real name.

However, this title, which includes both spatial abilities and the title of emperor, is likely to attract the hatred of Alien Race. If one's own strength is insufficient, it is feared that one cannot withstand this title for long.

"My strength is not bad, I guess." Luo Ao smiled at Xila. He just happened to use the name of his weapon, ' Konghuang Claw ', when he chose that name.

Now that he has already topped the list of Alien Race Assassination Ranking, he naturally cannot reveal any information about himself.

Although it is strictly forbidden for Universe Venerable to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield, Invincible King powerhouses are not restricted, and the number of King Rank powerhouses from various races is countless.

If a large group of powerful King Rank join forces to attack, even the Invincible King would have to give way.

In particular, rules are ultimately just rules, and why would a truly powerful being be afraid of breaking the rules?

If his identity is exposed too early, the Alien Race will probably send out Universe Venerable to assassinate him.

Therefore, Luo Ao was too lazy to serve as a ' World Lord General ' and simply disguised himself as an Immortal God, which made him much less conspicuous.

A World Lord killing Immortal God would definitely cause a great stir, but Immortal killing an Immortal wouldn't attract much attention.

After all, there are many powerful Immortal God among the various human powers. Some have had amazing experiences, some are descendants or disciples of Universe Venerable, and some, like True Yan King, are even comparable to ordinary Universe Venerable!

As long as he disguises himself as Immortal God, once he enters the Outer Domain Battlefield, he will be like a drop of water merging into the ocean. No matter how many extraordinary abilities he displays, it will not be so easy for him to expose his identity.

Soon, Luo Ao followed Xila out of the passage and into a spacious hall.

Xila looked at Luo Ao and said with a smile, " Space Emperor, the war between these Four Peak Races involves a great many cosmic warriors. The entire Outer Domain Battlefield is divided into eleven regions, all of which are outside our Human Territory, hence the name Outer Domain Battlefield."

"Under normal circumstances, we will send batches of new recruits to Barracks Base base in one of the Outer Domain Battlefield, as assigned by the Virtual Universe System."

"However, as Immortal God, you still have some privileges; you can decide for yourself which battlefield and Barracks Base to go to!"

World Lord Level powerhouses are insignificant among the Human Race, but Immortal God are much rarer, so they are naturally granted certain privileges.

"Are you familiar with these eleven Outer Domain Battlefield?" Xila asked with a smile. "If not, I can give you a brief introduction!"

Luo Ao nodded and replied, "I hope to go to the Seventh Battlefield, Barracks No. 26!"

The Seventh Starfield Battlefield is a Cosmic Secret Realm with a maximum diameter exceeding one million light-years.

After billions of years of slaughter, the danger of this Cosmic Secret Realm itself has become negligible; the main threat comes from enemies among other Alien Race.

There are a total of one hundred Barracks Base in the Seventh Battlefield, and the combat area controlled by each Barracks Base is different.

For Luo Ao, it didn't make much difference which battlefield he went to. However, within the area of Barracks No. 26 in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield, there was an extremely advanced combat zone: the Yanji Continent.

The Yanji Continent itself is nothing special, but among the many powerful King Rank active on the Yanji Continent, there is one extremely special existence, the ' Purple Bell King '.

This ' Purple Bell King ' is of average strength, but he possesses an extremely powerful Top-tier True Treasure — the Demon Sound Fire God Bell.

Generally speaking, only those at the King Rank Limit or even the Invincible King can possess such Top-tier True Treasure, but the Purple Bell King's true strength is only at the Peak King.

As the saying goes, you should pick the softest persimmon to squeeze, and Luo Ao also felt that the ' Demon Sound Fire God Bell ' in the hands of the Purple Bell King was very suitable for him, so there was no reason for him to let go of this walking treasure-delivery boy.

" The Seventh Battlefield? No problem." Xila nodded quickly.

Seeing that Luo Ao hadn't thought much about it, he chose the 026th Barracks Base in the Seventh Battlefield, assuming that the other party had someone they knew inside.

After all, possessing an F9-class spaceship and cultivating to the Immortal God before entering the Outer Domain Battlefield, it is clear that he comes from the core scion of a powerful family.

"Furthermore, Space Emperor, I need to perform a licensing ceremony for you. Do you need to prepare?"

Xila smiled and said, "As Immortal God, your status in the Outer Domain Battlefield is even more important. It is mainly divided into three levels: ' Immortal Army Lord,' ' Marquis, ' and ' King Rank.' There are also some differences in strength between each level!"

"Okay!" Luo Ao nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I'll begin then." Xila nodded, and a beam of blue light immediately shot out from the screen on his arm guard, enveloping Luo Ao.

Before Luo Ao arrived, the Lord of Ice Peak had already granted him permission to fake his strength during the certification ceremony, so this certification could actually be adjusted according to his own will.

" Early Marquis!"

A voice automatically emanated from the screen on Xila's arm guard, and at the same time, Luo Ao, who had received the permission, also immediately received a message from the Virtual Universe System.

" Early Marquis?" Xila was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected that this new recruit of the Immortal God would already be so powerful.

It should be noted that although the number of Immortal God on the Outer Domain Battlefield is countless, most of them are only Army Lord Level Immortal God.

Even among Immortal God, those who have been granted the title of Marquis are absolutely elite powerhouses, because Marquis-level Immortal have already achieved ' Undying Body '!

With this move, even if the Immortal Divine Body is completely shattered, it can be reassembled without any weakening of its strength. Its ability to survive is a qualitative leap compared to that of Army Lord Level Immortal!

Therefore, even on the perilous Outer Domain Battlefield, the chances of Marquis-level Immortal perishing are very small.

Seeing the surprise in Xila's eyes, Luo Ao remained calm.

Although he is not yet Immortal, his Early Marquis is less than one percent of his true strength.

The reason I didn't choose someone with higher strength was simply because it was completely unnecessary.

" Space Emperor, I wish you all the best on the Seventh Battlefield." After learning that the other party was a Marquis-level expert, Xila's attitude became noticeably more amiable, and she even offered her warm blessings before leaving.
