Chapter 37: Going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield Once More

After leaving the inheritance site, Zhou Yu didn't rush to the extraterritorial battlefield, but first returned to the Qianwu Universe Nation and stayed at home for a while.

During this period, Zhou Yu also told his teacher "Fire Dragon King" that he had left the inheritance site.

And the Fire Dragon King, upon learning the news, immediately contacted Zhou Yu.

Soon, the master and disciple met again in the virtual universe.

"Zhou Yu, how did you fare in the 'Kongguang Divine General' inheritance?" the Fire Dragon King asked as soon as he saw Zhou Yu.

"It's okay, I finally entered the third stage and reached the 7,000th floor of the ladder," Zhou Yu said, and the Fire Dragon King was shocked at once.

"7,000 floors?" the Fire Dragon King exclaimed.

"In the Divine General inheritance, those who reach the third stage are basically Universe Venerables; Immortals occasionally reach the third stage, but extremely rarely. I didn't expect you to be one of them. This Kongguang Divine General inheritance suits you perfectly. If you break through to become a Universe Venerable and then take the inheritance, there's an eight‑or‑nine‑in‑ten chance you'll reach the end!"

Hearing that, Zhou Yu nodded.

Yes, Immortals can reach the 7,000th floor; after breaking through to become a Universe Venerable, the soul undergoes a great transformation, and then going again could indeed allow a complete inheritance, becoming a candidate Divine General.

However, this "Kongguang Divine General" inheritance might not be that suitable for him; he could reach the 7,000th floor because the "Celestial Dao rewards the diligent" talent played a huge role, otherwise he could never have reached the third stage.

"Having reached 7,000 floors, your mental‑force amplitude should now be 7,000 times higher; your strength is definitely far greater than before," the Fire Dragon King said.

"You'd better make another trip to the extraterritorial battlefield soon, find a suitable opponent to display your power."

"Display power?" Zhou Yu looked at the Fire Dragon King with some confusion.

"My teacher, Venerable Mo Feng, you're not unfamiliar with him, right? He counts as your direct superior Venerable," the Fire Dragon King smiled.

"Last time you sought help from the company, one of the guardians, my teacher, was on duty; he secured an opportunity for you. As long as you improve enough after this Kongguang Divine General inheritance, the company will grant you a heavy treasure!"

"Heavy treasure?"

Zhou Yu felt a surge; a heavy treasure would greatly aid him now, vastly boosting his strength; stronger power means higher killing efficiency.

Of course, Zhou Yu also sensed that Venerable Mo Feng had played a significant role in this.

"You've now created your own peak secret technique, your mental‑force amplitude is 7,000 times; if you obtain a heavy treasure, you'll be truly invincible as a sealed king, right?" the Fire Dragon King sighed.

"Then you'd completely surpass me; I'm only at the sealed‑king limit."

"If not for the teacher's guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today," Zhou Yu said.

"Ha ha, you've come this far mainly because of your own talent; I only offered a few pointers," the Fire Dragon King laughed.

"A disciple surpassing the master is a good thing; if you become a Universe Venerable, I'll be even happier."

"For me, when I was weak, your guidance was crucial," Zhou Yu reflected.

The master and disciple chatted for a while, and Zhou Yu soon logged off; chatting in the virtual universe was meaningless. In the future he'll go to the Initial Universe and then visit the Fire Dragon King again.

After talking with the Fire Dragon King, Zhou Yu, who had intended to stay longer at his hometown, could no longer hold back; he set off again toward the extraterritorial battlefield.

He was 100% sure he could obtain that heavy treasure.

Because his progress wasn't just the mental‑force amplitude soaring to 7,000 times; after becoming a Black Warrior, his base strength also increased tenfold.

At this point, having created his own peak secret technique, a 7,000‑times mental‑force amplitude, and possessing a million‑times realm‑master peak power, he was thousands to tens of thousands times stronger than a normal sealed‑king peak; even without the heavy treasure, he could already be invincible as a sealed king.

Such a rapid increase in power, coupled with receiving a heavy treasure, is actually very normal.

…

Soon, Zhou Yu arrived at the extraterritorial battlefield; he chose the hunting spot to remain the Dark Continent of the 11th Extraterritorial Battlefield.

He chose this place because he was familiar with the environment and because the density of strong beings here is high.

Precisely, the 11th battlefield has the highest density of strong beings among all extraterritorial battlefields.

Each battlefield is essentially a cosmic secret realm.

The later‑ranked battlefields were opened more recently, so they're more likely to contain undiscovered treasures.

The 11th extraterritorial battlefield is a newly opened arena; many areas are scarcely trodden or never visited, making great gains possible.

The stronger the being, the more they favor the 11th battlefield.

Zhou Yu originally chose this spot for that very reason: high strong‑being density means higher hunting efficiency.

Of course, this time Zhou Yu, upon reaching the Dark Continent, did not linger on the outskirts but headed straight for its core.

"The Dark Continent truly lives up to its reputation."

Zhou Yu sat inside his spaceship, admiring the view outside.

The sky and the ground present opposite conditions: the sky is filled with countless lights, constantly bright, while the ground is pitch black, with no light at all; only through detectors and similar means can one discern its state.

This is because the Dark Continent is riddled with a mineral called "Darkglow Stone," which absorbs abundant light, even the light that only Immortals can see.

Consequently, the Dark Continent remains in absolute darkness for a long time, which is why it got its name.

Previously, when Zhou Yu was on the outskirts, Darkglow Stone was scarce, so he didn't see such scenes; now deep inside, he truly witnesses the Dark Continent's real face.

"Darkglow Stone refined into Darkglow Essence is a rare treasure; many Immortal strong‑ones collect Darkglow Stone here," Zhou Yu understood.

Generally, Darkglow Stone with purity above one percent already has collection value; the deeper one goes, the higher the chance of finding high‑purity Darkglow Stone.

Legend has it that when the 11th extraterritorial battlefield was first opened, a strong being discovered a vein over a thousand li deep, with Darkglow Stone purity exceeding fifty percent.

After mining and selling it, the being easily earned tens of trillions of Hun Yuan units.

That's a terrifying amount of wealth, almost equivalent to half a heavy treasure.

The key is that the strong being's discovery may not be unique; later others might also reap great rewards.

Hence, the deep Dark Continent still strongly attracts many sealed‑king peak and sealed‑king limit strong‑ones seeking treasure.

"Of course, for me, the greatest treasure has always been those strong beings," Zhou Yu thought.

Every simulation is a fundamental foundation boost for him, so Zhou Yu now naturally strives to obtain as many simulation runs as possible.
