Chapter 214: The Final Hunt

"I came to this Outer Realm Battlefield, and besides the simple military merit quota requirement, I also bear other missions," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Believe me, even without saying it, everyone can guess it."

Shenyan, Kuangfeng and the others nodded.

One billion merit points are far too easy for Xiao Yu, whose power rivals that of an Immortal Lord King High's Mo Yun Vine; even ten or a hundred times more would pose no challenge.

"Just now, after I killed three Immortal Divine Spirits, I already reached one billion merit points and have become a free being," Xiao Yu continued.

"What do you mean?" He Si felt relieved; his speculation had indeed arrived.

"Are you leaving?" Kuangfeng said in a low voice.

A group of teammates all stared at Xiao Yu.

"That's right, I'm leaving," Xiao Yu nodded.

He Si, Shenyan, Kuangfeng, Jin Zhuan, Zu Yi, Mei Mo, Kuanglang, Kami and Rui Zhi exchanged glances, their expressions complex. Though reluctant, they understood that the gap in strength between them and Xiao Yu was huge, and Xiao Yu would never wander in a dangerous zone like the Star Ring Belt.

"Sorry," Xiao Yu said softly.

"Xiao Yu, you have mail!" Wu reminded.

For a prodigious talent like Xiao Yu, gatherings are always brief; separation is the norm.

Looking at the soul power he harvested through the system, equivalent to the soul power of five thousand Realm Lord Ninth Tier, Xiao Yu frowned, not expecting the increase after the soul power metamorphosis to be so small!

In the Virtual Universe.

In the control room, Xiao Yu sat in a chair.

Before coming to the Outer Realm Battlefield, Xiao Yu had already researched the relevant data and purchased nearly a hundred E9 Ji Yuzhou Feichuan, all custom-made.

……

……

Xiao Yu sat in his study, researching various combat secrets in "Control Space-Time." He had already mastered the second move of "Slash Space-Time," the "Space Slash," but many aspects still needed refinement; feeling his performance was lacking, he cross‑referenced various secrets from "Control Space-Time."

"Regardless, I, Shenyan, was once your teammate!" Shenyan said, "Space‑Time, you have never mentioned your real name, but we have your Virtual Universe ID; when you feel ready to reveal it someday, tell us."

"That must be worth several ten thousand Mixed Yuan Units!"

"Genius, when you become a big figure in the future, don't forget us little ones!" Mei Mo gazed at Xiao Yu with a soul‑capturing look and said softly.

"Swoosh!"

"That equals the harvest of our thousands of years, right?"

The E9-class Spaceship control room was entirely built with F9-level metal, which pushed the ship's price to over ten thousand points.

Xiao Yu flicked his hand and a E9-class Disc-shaped Universe Spacecraft appeared, and he immediately boarded it.

The teammates took turns probing that World Ring.

"No need to apologize," He Si said, "Being with us, fighting weak opponents wastes your time, and against strong foes we become a burden!"

The consciousness slipped into the life core.

"Wow, so many treasures!"

"These are the World Rings of the three Immortal Demon Race I killed; the items inside are of no use to me, but I believe you all need these spoils more," Xiao Yu took out one World Ring, wielded World Force to control it, and floated it before Captain He Si.

After a reluctant farewell with these teammates adventuring in the Outer Realm Battlefield, Xiao Yu turned and flew out of the spacecraft's hatch.

Xiao Yu opened the mail, a message directly issued by the Military System.

The content read: Warrior Xiao Yu, you have completed the merit quota and left the team; you now have two choices: one, continue fighting in the Outer Realm Battlefield; two, retire and leave the Outer Realm Battlefield.

"Continue fighting," Xiao Yu said softly.

The monitoring system received Xiao Yu's voice reply and soon sent another mail.

The mail explained that as a free being, Xiao Yu now has the right to exchange merit points: every 100,000 merit points equal one Mixed Yuan Unit, and since Xiao Yu is a core member of the Virtual Universe, every 100,000 merit points can also be exchanged for one point.

Additionally, the Military System gave Xiao Yu two options.

One: continue fighting alone.

Two: lead an army composed of 100 Realm Lords, 1,000 Domain Lords, and 10,000 Universe-level members.

"I choose the first option, to fight alone," Xiao Yu said softly.

He had no intention of becoming a healer; being alone was fine, and previously being with an elite squad was forced by the Military System.

Then the Virtual Universe System sent a star map of the Seventh Battlefield.

Star Ring Belt, inside an E9-class Spaceship.

"Within ten billion kilometers, Immortal Demon Race law fluctuations of Immortal-level have been detected, ranging from basic Immortal Military Lord level to peak Immortal Military Lord," Wu reminded, "They are besieging two Human Race elite squads; our human comrades have sent a distress signal."

"Let's go, the hunt begins!" Xiao Yu laughed.

Before leaving this Star Ring Belt, he prepared to hunt properly first.

The Disc-shaped Universe Spacecraft quickly changed direction, flying toward that battlefield.

In a moment it was already within ten million kilometers.

……

Near a star fragment with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers.

In the void, two Human Race elite squads gathered, together having only two Immortal Divine Spirits, three Realm Lord commanders comparable to Immortals, and eighteen ordinary Realm Lord commanders.

On this Seventh Battlefield, Immortal‑strength Realm Lord commanders are few but not scarce; almost every elite squad has one or two, all forged through countless life‑and‑death trials.

"Bang Xiu, the distress signal has already been sent, right?" the three‑eyed Black Robe Immortal said, his eyes full of despair as he looked beside him at a six‑meter‑tall Black Robe Scale‑Armor Immortal.

"It has been sent, but we'll probably be done before nearby allies arrive!" the Black Robe Scale‑Armor Immortal whispered.

"Now we have to go all out, everyone, pull out your last reserves and fight for your lives!" the three‑eyed Black Robe Immortal shouted wildly.

The two Immortal Divine Spirits and twenty‑one Realm Lords each brought out their desperate tactics.

This scene was seen by the surrounding Immortal Demon Race.

"Human! Even at death you must struggle; can't you just die peacefully!" the human‑body snake‑head man shouted.

Then the human‑body snake‑head man vanished into thin air, and simultaneously a massive mountain‑sized serpent appeared in the starry sky, about 200 meters thick, 12 kilometers long, with blue‑green scales, six wings on its sides, and a tail ending in metal‑sharp sword‑like spikes.

Zi Qian Wan She!

The moment Zi Qian Wan She appeared, ten thousand miles froze over.

Even though the two Human Race Immortals used Law Domain to resist, the Realm Lords still felt the piercing cold.

At the same time, the other nine Demon Race Immortals also sprang into action.

"Brothers, kill!" the three‑eyed black‑robed Immortal roared.

Suddenly a terrifying aura spread from the distant void, and then a massive cloud vine larger than a star appeared around the Demon Race Immortals.

Three hundred and sixty enormously thick vines, bearing golden Law Domains, almost instantly wrapped the ten Demon Race Immortals in the void, spanning a million kilometers.

"What?"

"What's going on?"

Both the Demon Race and the Human Race were stunned—what exactly had happened?

Zi Qian Wan She was ensnared by the vines, unable to break free, and was horrified to discover that his Immortal Divine Body was being rapidly eroded.
