Using a Divine Kingdom contributed by an Immortal God as a transit point, Luo Ao and his thousands of warriors entered the space channel again after arriving at that Divine Kingdom transit point, and were quickly teleported directly to the Barracks No. 26 in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield outside the Human Territory.

Luo Ao only felt a spatial shift before he found himself in another place.

"Haha, more new recruits have arrived."

"We have new recruits!"

"Huh? That's not right. Didn't they just assign a batch of new recruits to our Barracks No. 26 last month? Logically, the next batch shouldn't be arriving so soon."

"Idiot! There must be some new Immortal God recruits coming!"

"Hmm, there really are new recruits of Immortal God?"

Upon Luo Ao's appearance, he immediately spotted more than a dozen taxi drivers dressed in blue standard armor. Leading them was an Immortal God wearing a blue battle robe, whose eyes held a hint of Raging Waves.

Upon seeing Luo Ao and the others, the blue-robed Immortal God first nodded slightly to Luo Ao, then addressed the others, "New recruits, welcome to the '026' Barracks Base of the Seventh Battlefield. All World Lord Level will follow him, all Domain Lord Level will follow this little guy, and as for the Universe Level, they will all follow this little girl!"

The blue-robed Immortal God swiftly designated three leaders.

The Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level were divided into three different channels.

After assigning everyone their destinations, the blue-robed Immortal God smiled and walked towards Luo Ao, who remained standing in place.

"Hello, my name is Ke Simo, and I'm in charge of receiving new recruits at Barracks No. 26!" the blue-robed Immortal God introduced with a smile.

"Hello, I am ' Space Emperor '," Luo Ao replied with a smile.

" Space Emperor? It seems you have quite the ambition." Ke Simo raised an eyebrow.

In the Outer Domain Battlefield, there are certain rules to follow when choosing a code name. If you choose something like "Overlord," "Invincible," or "Heavenly Emperor," you'll likely attract a large number of powerful individuals to target you.

The title "Space Emperor" is somewhat understated, but it's still the kind of title that easily attracts trouble.

However, considering that the other party was a newcomer, and that he had previously received a message from the military system indicating that the other party possessed the strength of Early Marquis.

It's normal for a newcomer, who has just been granted the title of Marquis and is now Immortal, to be a little arrogant.

After all, to be honest, while Early Marquis expert might not seem like much in the entire Outer Domain Battlefield, they are quite rare, at least in this Barracks No. 26.

"It's alright, just come in and broaden your horizons." Luo Ao smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Haha, it seems you are indeed very confident in yourself!" The Immortal God Ke Simo chuckled, then said, " Space Emperor, you must also want to head to the Outer Domain Battlefield as soon as possible, so let's get straight to the point!"

"Hmm!" Luo Ao nodded with a smile.

"You are Immortal God; after joining the army, you have two different fighting styles to choose from!"

Ke Simo explained very seriously, "The first option is to join one of the Elite Squad within our 026th Barracks Base. These Elite Squad vary in strength and operate in different areas. You can choose any of them, but the other squad must agree!"

"The second option is to lead an army consisting of 100 World Lord, 1,000 Domain Lord, and 10,000 Universe Level. Your mission is to lead this army in battles on the Outer Domain Battlefield. When you encounter powerful Alien Race races, you will deal with the Immortal among them, and your army will engage in combat against the Alien Race Alien Race."

"If you choose the first option, your military merits will accumulate normally. For example, killing an ordinary Immortal Army Lord solo will grant you 100 million military merits. However, if you team up with others, the military merits will be split, and you will only receive a portion of them."

"Choose the second option: you are willing to lead and protect the army. You will receive an additional 50% bonus to your accumulated military merits. For example, when leading an army, killing an ordinary Immortal God will earn you 150 million military merits. Furthermore... when leading an army, you do not need to protect them; you only need to deal with Alien Race Immortal God Immortal God and prevent them from slaughtering Alien Race."

After introducing the two combat styles, Ke Simo looked at Luo Ao again and asked, " Space Emperor, which combat style do you want to choose?"

Luo Ao's gaze remained calm as he softly said, "I choose the first option!"

He didn't come to this Outer Domain Battlefield to be someone else's babysitter!

If it weren't for the rules, he wouldn't even want to join the Elite Squad.

"Alright then." Ke Simo wasn't surprised by the other party's decision.

Commanding an army was already considered a rather troublesome task by many Immortal God. How much more so for an ambitious, powerful figure like the other party, who had been granted a title of nobility?

"Your selection has been entered into the military control system. This covers all combat zones within the area of my Barracks No. 26..."

With a wave of his hand, Ke Simo created a three-dimensional projection screen that appeared in mid-air.

The Star Map on the screen was incredibly complex, densely marked with battle zones.

Ke Simo smiled and explained, "The military system will send you a copy of this Star Map via the Virtual Universe later. Just be ready to receive it."

"In this Star Map, there are special battle zones. A large number of powerful beings from the Four Peak Races are lurking in these battle zones, fighting each other. Everywhere is filled with bloodshed and madness."

Luo Ao looked at the screen and nodded.

The Outer Domain Battlefield is no benevolent place. It is a gathering place for super-strong individuals from countless races across the universe. Countless powerful individuals come here to seek opportunities, collect wealth, and hone their skills... Its cruel nature is evident.

Look at this.

Ke Simo then pointed to a small dot on the screen.

One of the billions of points in the Star Map was rapidly magnified, and an area appeared on the image that looked as if a large number of dense meteorites were floating on it.

"You're a new recruit, so I suggest you consider the ' Shattered Star Belt Shattered Star Belt.' It's a notoriously dangerous area with many World Lord teams and numerous teams led by Immortal God, but only a handful are at the Marquis Level. With your strength, you're perfectly capable of handling the risks here."

Luo Ao immediately shook his head and rejected Ke Simo's suggestion.

It's safe here, but it won't serve as any training experience for him.

"Do you have any other ideas?" asked the blue-robed Immortal God Ke Simo. "Locations like the Shattered Star Belt, which number in the tens of thousands on the Seventh Battlefield, all have elite teams from our Human Faction."

Luo Ao looked at the Star Map.

He spotted one of the locations immediately and asked for it to be zoomed in.

An irregular continent appeared on the Star Map, with fragments of the continent scattered around it. The Star Map was also covered with dense text that provided a detailed description.

" Yanji Continent: The highest-level combat zone within the control area of the 026th Barracks Base of the Seventh Battlefield. Any human or countless Alien Race powerhouse who dares to enter Yanji Continent, if it is Elite Squad, then the squad must have an ' Immortal God ' in it; if it is an army, then it must also be led by Immortal God."

"Each team has Immortal God, and the number of Marquis-level Immortal deities is extremely large."

"Among the Immortal God, ' Immortal Army Lord ' make up about two-thirds, ' Marquis Level ' about one-third, and there are also a very small number of ' King Level '."

"Here, without Undying Body, the chances of survival are very low."

"..."

"..."

Only after this extensive introduction about the dangers of the Yanji Continent did information about the Yanji Continent itself appear.

"The Main Continent of the Yanji Continent has a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years, and thousands of continental fragments float around the Yanji Continent. Among these fragments, the smaller ones are millions of kilometers in diameter, while the larger ones exceed trillions of kilometers in diameter."

Upon seeing Luo Ao's choice, Ke Simo's face showed shock. " Space Emperor, do you intend to go to the Yanji Continent?"

He quickly advised, " The Yanji Continent is the highest-level combat zone within the area of my Barracks No. 26. It is extremely dangerous, and there are quite a few King Rank experts there."

" Space Emperor, I know you already possess Undying Body, but this is your first time on the Outer Domain Battlefield. Why not first gain experience in less dangerous combat areas? It won't be too late to go to the Yanji Continent when you're stronger!"

He was genuinely surprised that this new recruit would head straight for the most dangerous area within the 026 Barracks Base's coverage region, the Yanji Continent.

Sure enough, this guy who dares to call himself the ' Space Emperor ' is truly fearless.

Despite Ke Simo's advice, Luo Ao completely disregarded it.

The reason he came to the 026th Barracks Base of the Seventh Battlefield was to go to the Yanji Continent to find the Purple Bell King. After killing the Purple Bell King and obtaining that True Treasure, he wouldn't stay on the Yanji Continent for too long.

"I came to the Outer Domain Battlefield to hone my skills. The Yanji Continent is a challenging place, and I've decided to go there!"

Seeing Luo Ao's resolute attitude, Ke Simo didn't dare to offer any further advice.

"In that case, when you select your Space Emperor Elite Squad, you must choose a strong one." Unable to dissuade him, Ke Simo could only recommend a few powerful squads.

" The Yanji Continent is teeming with powerful individuals and countless Alien Race. Naturally, our Human Race also boasts a considerable number of the Yanji Continent Elite Squad. For example, the renowned ' Demon Hammer Squad ' is led by the ' Demon Hammer King,' a King Rank expert, and almost every member of his team is a Marquis expert!"

"However, the requirements for team members led by such a powerful King Rank are quite high. I can only help you contact them and ask; whether they will agree is another matter. But this Demon Hammer King is also a powerful Human Race, so there should still be a good chance."

In the Outer Domain Battlefield, the strong members of the Human Faction, besides those from the Human Race itself, mostly come from other races.

The Demon Hammer King, himself a powerful Human Race, holds the most authority within the ' Demon Hammer Squad.' Newcomers can simply join him as long as he approves.

"Then I'll trouble you, Ke Simo." Luo Ao immediately replied with a thank you.

Although with his strength, he didn't need to be so particular, Ke Simo was indeed a good person and very considerate of him.

"It's what I should do!" Ke Simo said with a smile. "After all, we're all human!"

Hearing Ke Simo's words, Luo Ao smiled in agreement, "You're right."

Ke Simo then chuckled, "Your information will appear on the military system. If any powerful forces from the Yanji Continent are interested, they will send you an email through the military control system. You can then make your own choice."

"Now, let me take you to the rest area."

"Good."

On the Main Continent of the Yanji Continent, an E-Class Spaceship is slowly flying through the void.

Inside the lounge.

Eight powerful figures, each exuding an aura of Immortal, had different appearances but all belonged to the Human Race. They were sitting together, chatting and laughing.

suddenly--

A man in white robes raised his head and looked at the burly man in black armor sitting at the head of the table, saying, "Captain, a newcomer has appeared in the military system. His authorization level is ' Early Marquis,' and he wishes to join the Divine Spirit Squad operating on the Yanji Continent."

Immediately, everyone else looked over as well.

"First time entering the Outer Domain Battlefield, Marquis expert? Interesting."

"Haha, boss, this newbie's pretty arrogant, he's given himself the title ' Space Emperor '." A blond man in diamond-like armor next to him laughed as well.

" The Space Emperor? He seems to be a powerful figure of my Human Race as well. But why would he come to a place like the Yanji Continent on his first visit?" The Demon Hammer King hesitated slightly, but still decided to 'guide' the other party.

Although his team is not short of people at the moment, since they are all Marquis experts, their presence at least won't be a hindrance.

Meanwhile, this scene was unfolding in many other places as well. And compared to the Demon Hammer Squad, the others were even more eager for the Demon Hammer Squad to join them.

After all, not every squad can be as powerful as the Demon Hammer Squad.

"Haha, our team is short-handed, and we even have Immortal God recruit! With a little training, he'll be able to stand on his own!"

"Wow, he hasn't even been to the Outer Domain Battlefield, yet he's already been Marquis Immortal. Could he be a personal disciple of some King Rank Immortal God?"

"Quickly recruit him into our team; the next time we encounter a powerful Alien Race race, the pressure of battle will be less."

The biggest weakness of newcomers is their lack of experience, but since the other party is Marquis figure who has achieved the rank of Marquis and possesses an ' Undying Body,' there is still room for error, and they can easily adapt to the atmosphere and environment here.

soon.

Luo Ao stayed in the rest area for a short while and then discovered that hundreds of emails had been sent through the military control system. He read them carefully and, without much hesitation, decided to accept the invitation from the ' Demon Hammer Squad '.

Firstly, the ' Demon Hammer Squad ' is indeed one of the two strongest teams.

Secondly, this was a good place that Ke Simo had specifically recommended to him, and he didn't need to disappoint him with such a kind offer.

The ' Demon Hammer Squad ' is currently resting at the Barracks Base, so they can meet with Luo Ao immediately.

Therefore, after sending the email, Luo Ao quickly arranged to meet with the captain of the ' Demon Hammer Squad,' Demon Hammer King, at the restaurant.

A moment later, Luo Ao arrived at an extremely luxurious hall, a place reserved for the Immortal God to dine.

He looked around and then walked to a dining table.

Seated at this dining table was a truly "robust" giant warrior. He was over eight meters tall, with short brown hair, a calm and steady gaze, and wore heavy, jet-black armor.

Such a large size is rare among Human Race. Luo Ao immediately recognized the other party as a powerful member of the ' Black Light Race '. The Black Light Race is generally a type that excels in strength, and it is common for them to use heavy hammers as weapons.

Seeing Luo Ao approaching, the Black Light Race expert, exuding a powerful aura of killing intent, stood up abruptly. His brown eyes were fixed intently on Luo Ao, filled with an unparalleled fierce will, as he pressed down on Luo Ao.

"I have met the Demon Hammer King." Facing the Demon Hammer King's Will Impact, Luo Ao was completely unaware, as if a gentle breeze had brushed against his face.

"Hmm?" The Demon Hammer King was surprised to see that the other party was unaffected.

Because Luo Ao was a newcomer, the Demon Hammer King naturally couldn't help but feel a desire to test him.

However, to his surprise, the astonishing malevolent energy he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Outer Domain Battlefield had no effect on the newcomer before him.

This is enough to show that the other party is extremely outstanding in terms of consciousness and will, and such a person is more likely to survive in this cruel Outer Domain Battlefield.

Thinking this way, the Demon Hammer King suddenly felt that he had made the right decision again.

"Haha..." Demon Hammer King laughed loudly, looking at Luo Ao, "I am the captain of the God Squad, number 0262653985. You can call me 'Captain Demon Hammer.' Welcome to our Demon Hammer Squad!"

The Demon Hammer King spoke through the channel, "In the entire 026 base, there are only a handful of Elite Squad more outstanding than our ' Demon Hammer Squad.' Join us, and you'll earn more military merits and have a higher chance of surviving dangerous situations!"

" Space Emperor," Luo Ao said with a smile, "I hope Captain Demon Hammer will continue to guide me in the future."

His reason for joining the Demon Hammer Squad was simple: it was one of the two strongest squads among all those that had invited him, and the Demon Hammer King himself was a Human Race.

After considering all factors, he naturally preferred to join the ' Demon Hammer Squad '.

"Good, you're straightforward, I like newcomers like you." Demon Hammer King welcomed him with a smile, " Space Emperor, welcome to our Demon Hammer Squad!"

The Demon Hammer King personally poured the wine and said, "Let's sit down, drink, and chat. I'd also like to introduce you to the other members of our team."

He turned his head and looked towards a distant corner, transmitting his divine power telepathically. "Everyone, come here."

Luo Ao had just sat down.

Soon, seven figures approached from a distance.

These people were either tall and burly, or had cold Yao Rao, or were charming and alluring. Powerful auras of Laws permeated the air, and the surrounding space seemed to be affected.

Among the seven was a Rainbow Butterfly Race, dressed in colorful gauze robes, resembling an elf;

There were Blade Race whose bodies were covered in blue scales and whose heads were bald, even their scalps were blue;

There were also Earth Kui Race were dwarf-like in stature, only a little over a meter tall...

As the seven people walked over, they each pulled out a chair and sat down.

All nine people gathered.

"Let me introduce you," Demon Hammer King said, pointing to Luo Ao with a smile. "This is the newest member of our team, the ' Space Emperor,' who possesses the strength of Early Marquis."
