Chapter 83: Universe-level

On the Cang Mang Grassland about a hundred thousand kilometers from the Core Area, a great number of adventurers have gathered.

Each outdoor tent is set up, and the material of these tents is the same as that used to forge alloy battle armor—extremely tough.

Inside one of the large tents.

A hulking, towering figure about four meters tall, a black‑chimpanzee‑like strongman, sits inside the tent; his powerful chest muscles push up the alloy battle armor, his head is almost identical to a black chimpanzee's, and his sunken eyes blaze with wild madness.

Yuan Ren are an important branch of the Human Race, divided into hundreds or thousands of sub‑branches, and they are usually brave, battle‑savvy warriors.

And the man before us is Jiasitong, serving under Tianchen, the Super Strong Realm Commander of Sanfu Mountain.

"Ha ha, ha ha!" Jiasitong let out a series of strange laughs. "I never expected I could break through Universe-level!"

In this Inter-Realm, Universe-level confers a massive advantage; after attaining Universe-level, Jiasitong is no longer a mere cannon fodder, and his status has leapt dramatically.

……

Xiao Yu and five others left the Core Area and arrived at a hilly region.

"Third brother, we need to change our strategy," Luo Feng said. "This week we gained only a few Universe Crystals and nothing else; if we don't take the initiative, it will be hard to achieve anything."

Luo Feng is still very eager to obtain more Leiting Stones.

"Indeed, third brother," Lei Shen said. "In this Inter-Realm, it is a lawless place. You seize me, I seize him—it's normal."

"Alright." Xiao Yu is not a hypocrite; he has never initiated a raid before, only responded passively.

With a swing of his right hand, Xiao Yu conjured a Blood-Red Disc-Shaped Spaceship twice the size of the Guotai, appearing before the six of them.

"Don't rush, I'll go in first and set it up," Xiao Yu smiled, noting that since gaining control of this spaceship, he had never activated it.

There is an initialization process after entering the spaceship.

Half an hour later, all six were seated in the control room of this D9-class Universe Spaceship.

"Wu, engage the ship's invisibility," Xiao Yu said.

"Xiao Yu, how large is this ship's detection range?" Lei Shen asked.

"Centered on the ship, five hundred thousand kilometers," Xiao Yu replied with a smile.

The spaceship's detection range is huge, but the scan is very coarse—it only estimates population and lacks any striking energy signatures, making underground Leiting Stones hard to detect.

"Xiao Yu, there are 168,954 humans within the detection range," Wu said.

The spaceship itself is also AI‑controlled, but now Wu is piloting it.

"Into how many squads are these people divided?" Lei Shen asked.

"One squad of 37,682, one of 35,000, one of 17,000, one of 15,000, and additionally 53 other squads," Wu's voice echoed inside the ship.

Simultaneously, the ship's main screen split into five panels, the last of which further divided into 53 smaller panels.

The first four panels displayed four squads, with the 35,000‑person squad and the 37,682‑person squad currently engaged in battle.

Xiao Yu pointed to the first panel and said, "Our target is them."

"Oh?" Lei Shen looked over in surprise.

"Do you have confidence?" Hong asked, puzzled.

"No problem," Xiao Yu nodded.

On the vast Cang Mang grassland.

Two massive opposing squads faced each other; one side wore all black battle armor, the other all blue.

On the all‑black side, a three‑meter‑tall, elf‑like man shouted from his own ranks: "Brothers ahead, we are from Holy Black Dragon Mountain; you know the fate of those who offend us."

"Ha ha, if we were outside, White Tiger Tower would still fear you, but here in the Inter‑Realm, treasures must be earned by strength," a pale‑skinned, two‑horned man shouted from the blue side.

"I previously underestimated you, Laduoye," the three‑meter giant from Black Dragon Mountain said.

"Lachi, show your true skill!" Laduoye laughed in the White Tiger Tower camp, then ordered his subordinate: "Send the command, commence attack at once."

Laduoye naturally knew something about the Fourth Brigade commander appointed by the Eight Prince, aware that they had uncovered at least three Leiting Stone hideouts and had repelled four or five thousand‑person squads, gaining considerable loot; otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to block them.

"Affirmative," two blue‑clad subordinates replied.

Tens of thousands of warriors began gathering primal force, while Spiritual Mind Masters started directing Mind-force Weapons for attack.

At the same time, similar events unfolded within the Holy Black Dragon Mountain camp.

"Attack!" Laduoye's hand swung down,

Suddenly, a thin vine burst from the ground at lightning speed, instantly coiling tightly around Laduoye's legs and yanking him toward the earth.

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away, within the Holy Black Dragon Mountain camp, Lachi was pulled underground by a blood‑red vine.

Both camps instantly descended into chaos, each side unintentionally launching attacks at the other, losing orderly command for a brief moment.

Blinding streams of primal light in myriad colors—over ten thousand of them—shot through the air from one army's camp toward the other.

Individual Mind-force Weapons gathered like a school of fish, as if commanded by a single mind; thousands of them combined to strike one point, then collectively arced to attack another.

Above the battlefield of seventy thousand combatants, inside an invisible Universe Spaceship, Xiao Yu, Hong, Luo Feng, and Lei Shen sat contentedly in their chairs, sipping fine wine.

"Wu, you go," Xiao Yu thought silently.

"Understood." Wu transformed into a wisp of invisible light, slipping from Xiao Yu's Knowledge Sea Space into the Sea of Knowledge of a Stellar-level Ninth Tier warrior below.

The warrior's soul, initially forming a defensive aura, coalesced, and Wu, within his Sea of Knowledge, became a massive island that slammed into it; a single strike shattered the soul, and a huge suction from the island instantly sucked up all the scattered soul energy.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the famed Stellar-level Ninth Tier strongman's body went rigid and fell straight from the sky, eyes wide and face pallid.

"Chapman, what's wrong?" a blue‑clad warrior shouted nearby.

The moment the voice fell, he too was like the person before.

Within the White Tiger Tower camp, Stellar-level Ninth Tier warriors dropped to the ground stiff as dumplings.

Within a minute, hundreds fell, motionless, as if dead.

This anomaly not only drew the attention of everyone in White Tiger Tower but also of the opposing Black Dragon Mountain, yet with both sides' supreme commanders absent, the battle could not be concluded immediately.

In the White Tiger Tower camp, a Stellar-level Ninth Tier Spiritual Mind Master squad leader approached a fallen casualty to assess the situation. They were deemed casualties because their hearts still beat normally and showed no other abnormalities.

However, they lacked consciousness; spiritual probing of the Sea of Knowledge met no resistance.

A few squad leaders inside White Tiger Tower held an urgent discussion, decided to retreat, and left this strange place.

Since the battle between the two sides and the withdrawal of the people at White Tiger Tower, in less than half an hour they were left with just over ten thousand intact combat forces.

However, they flew away, and the bizarre situation did not change; every second more than ten people fell for no reason.

And each person who fell to the ground would soon be dragged underground by a blood‑red long vine.
