Chapter 132: Going Solo

The massive plant world that covered hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space quickly contracted, and in the blink of an eye turned into a palm‑sized hazy light sphere that was drawn into the inner world.

Seeing Zhou Yang reappear in view, Feilei, Liuli, Gu Tou and the other squad members were slightly stunned, falling into brief silence.

Zhou Yang let out a slight sigh in his heart and spoke softly:

"Those Demon Race Immortals must have called for rescue; let's leave first."

"Right, let's go quickly."

Feilei also calmed down and immediately took out a silver‑white C9-class Spaceship.

In the Outer Domain Battlefield, ships being destroyed is common; for such a ship, his World Ring had prepared several hundred thousand of them.

One by one, the squad members suppressed their shock and quickly boarded the ship.

Under Feilei's control, the silver‑white ship turned into a streak of light and shot through the void.

Shortly after they left, Immortal Elite Squads belonging to the Demon Race or Allied Tribe rushed here quickly.

Yet, in this starry sky, the enemy's trace was already gone.

"Report to the tribe immediately: a Human Realm Lord with Immortal‑level Plant Life has appeared in this Fragmented Star Belt, possibly a core genius cultivated by the Human Race."

The strong members of the Demon Race squad immediately reported this information upward.

Inside the C9-class Spaceship flying at sub‑light speed in the Fragmented Star Belt, in the lounge cabin.

The surviving members of the Elite Realm Lord Squad each stared at Zhou Yang with eager intensity.

"Meteor."

Feilei, looking like a golden‑haired ape‑man, opened his mouth but only muttered, "Meteor, thank you, you saved us all!"

"Captain, you're being too polite; I'm also a member of the squad."

Zhou Yang smiled in response.

Hearing his words, Feilei couldn't help scratching his head and laughed awkwardly:

"I really didn't expect that a Realm Lord rookie casually invited at the Divine Base would turn out to be a super‑strong who can easily slay an Immortal Army Lord, and with your Immortal‑level Plant Life, that powerful aura—really, really—almost made me pee myself!"

"Hahaha, Captain, even a single Immortal almost scared you to pee, let alone us!"

Listening to Feilei, the squad members in the cabin all started laughing.

"Little brother Meteor~"

A sweet, cloying voice rang out; the enchanting demoness Liuli covered her chest with two tender white little hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Little brother Meteor, you're really strong; my heart is being captured by you~~~"

"Hahaha, big brother Meteor, my heart is also captured by you~~~"

The skinny Spiritual Thought Master Gu Tou mimicked her, making his facial expression as exaggerated as possible.

"Scram, you perverted Gu Tou!"

Liuli shouted angrily.

"Hahaha"

Their interruption lightened the cabin atmosphere, and the squad members excitedly began discussing.

"Meteor is really strong!"

"I know the Core Member Realm Lord of the Axe Arena, and he's not this strong."

"Probably only the core within the core of the Five Great Powers can be that formidable."

However, they all know the rules.

Even though it felt like a cat's claw scratching their hearts, no one asked Zhou Yang about his true identity.

Amid the merriment, Zhou Yang spoke softly.

"Captain, and everyone…"

He looked at the crowd.

The people in the cabin fell silent and looked at him.

Feilei's gaze darkened slightly, as if he guessed what Zhou Yang would say next.

Sure enough—

"Everyone, I came to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and besides the simple Military Merit Quota Requirement, I also bear other missions, and just now I've accumulated enough 1,000,000,000 Military Merit, becoming a free man, so—"

Zhou Yang continued, "So, we will probably have to part temporarily."

According to the Military Merit system, the Immortal he killed from the Mingquan Clan was classified as a Peak Immortal Army Leader, granting a direct reward of 1,000,000,000 Military Merit, allowing him to easily complete the merit point task.

Moreover, over this year he gradually figured out the rules of survival in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Thus, there is no need to continue mingling with the squad.

"Ah? Meteor, you're leaving?"

"This."

Hearing Zhou Yang, the squad members all showed complex expressions.

This person is truly a powerhouse who can easily slay a Peak Immortal Army Leader, so they naturally felt reluctant.

However, they all understood that for a strong one of Zhou Yang's caliber, 1,000,000,000 Military Merit poses no challenge.

Lingering with them in this Fragmented Star Belt is truly a waste of time.

Only in the Core Land of the Outer Domain Battlefield, the main continent where strong ones dominate, is where he can truly showcase his abilities.

At that thought, he couldn't utter any words of pleading.

"Meteor."

Feilei sighed and spoke, but only a brief line: "May you have Infinite Opportunity and Eternal Life!"

"Yes, Meteor, may you have Infinite Opportunity and Eternal Life!"

"Infinite Opportunity, Eternal Life!"

The squad members each closely followed Zheng Zhong as he spoke.

Listening to his teammates' sincere blessings, Zhou Yang also broke into a smile.

He placed the storage equipment he had harvested from killing five Alien Immortals before him.

"Everyone alike, I wish everyone the same Infinite Opportunity and Eternal Life!"

After the silver‑white spaceship flew at Sub-light Speed for two days, it finally arrived at a broad starry sky where Stardust Fragments were scarce.

Feilei and his companions also knew that they had caused a considerable commotion in that Fragmented Star Belt earlier, and to avoid being singled out by hostile Aliens, they intended to switch to another area to explore.

The spaceship kept accelerating, soon surpassing Light speed and entering the Dark Universe.

And before that, Zhou Yang, clad in Dream Crystal Battle Armor, had already left the squad and set out alone on his journey.

Fourth Domain Battlefield, Nine Fiend Continent.

Calling it a continent is a misnomer; it actually resembles a 'Continent Cluster' composed of massive land fragments.

The entire Nine Fiend Continent region contains tens of thousands of Continent Fragments, the larger ones exceeding five light‑years in diameter, the smaller still spanning nearly a light‑year.

This is the second most dangerous combat zone in the Fourth Domain Battlefield; anyone daring to operate here, whether a lone wanderer or a Universe army, inevitably has an Immortal God in their ranks!

Moreover, of the Immortal Gods active here, more than one third possess Noble Prince-level strength.

There are even a few Immortal Beings of King-Sealing Level.

An Ancient Sword-type E9-class Spaceship burst out of the Dark Universe, and after nearly ten days of Sub-light Speed travel, finally arrived in the starry sky near the Nine Fiend Continent.

Gazing at the ancient land floating in the starry sky, seemingly endless and boundless, Zhou Yang felt his chest surge with hot blood.

"Countless peoples, billions of alien strong ones, just give them to me……"
