The liver is a late bloomer!

Xu Chen sensed the mission information within the military commander's token and immediately led the Ghost Sparrow Army to the area where the alien demons had appeared.

On the innate treasure warship, Xu Chen stood at the bow, sensing the boundary of the star sea.

The closer Xu Chen got to the border area, the weaker he felt the Myriad Rivers were, and the less power he could mobilize.

"No wonder even the most basic warriors in the border region must be at the Saint Venerable Realm."

"Anyone below the Saintly Venerable Realm simply cannot survive in this border region."

Ten thousand soldiers of the Youque Army stood on both sides of the warship, awaiting Xu Chen's orders at any time.

"Don't be so nervous, just follow the battle formations we usually use in the Chaos Realm."

"There are more than two thousand demons. If you kill less than ten of them, I will take action."

Xu Chen's calm voice reached the ears of every soldier.

The innate treasure warship initially flew at high speed in the void, but when it approached the boundary to a certain distance, the void dissipated and it merged with the star sea.

“The Great Dao of Space is blurred here; the battlefield is even worse than I imagined.” Xu Chen gently waved his hand, and an even stranger power condensed in his palm.

This force does not belong to any of the 3000 Great Daos, but after being enveloped by the 3000 Great Daos, it will slowly assimilate them.

Sensing this, Xu Chen further concentrated this power, adding a small amount of the power of the 3000 Great Dao Origins.

As a result, the original power of the 3000 Great Daos was devoured by that strange power.

"Mutual assimilation, interesting~"

Just as Xu Chen was feeling this power, a huge body appeared in the distance.

A terrifying power permeated the four directions of the starry sea.

Xu Chen dissipated the power in his hand and looked at the body in the distance.

"This is……"

"My lord, this is the body of a powerful being who died on the Great Dao. It is impervious to time and all things. Even a powerful being on the Great Dao cannot shake it."

"This body has been here since the beginning of our clan's history, as if it were one with the entire border region," Sun Ba's figure appeared behind Xu Chen, explaining the situation.

"That's it~"

Xu Chen took a step forward and landed on that body, silently sensing it.

"Like a statue that is utterly useless, yet extremely hard and unshakeable."

"The Body Without Morality, that's a good name."

Realizing the item was worthless, Xu Chen returned to the Innate Treasure Warship.

Upon returning, Xu Chen was astonished to find that the Youque Army soldiers who had witnessed that scene were looking at him with surprise.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"The two places are separated by hundreds of billions of miles, and the space here is not apparent."

"How could the Commander-in-Chief..." Sun Ba's expression was somewhat shocked.

"A little trick combining time and dream theory." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly, as if he had just inadvertently performed a public display of divine power.

"Time is a key!" All the soldiers of the Ghost Sparrow Army were startled, and then became excited.

Following such a military leader, one is sure to achieve great military exploits in the future.

Three months later, the Innate Treasure Warship arrived at a specific area. As soon as it arrived, Xu Chen sensed the presence of the Otherworldly Demons.

"Ready~"

At Xu Chen's command, all the Youque Army soldiers on the warship instantly donned the standard armor of the Divine Army.

Following the trail of the demonic entity, the innate treasure warship pursued at full speed.

"Ahead lies the gathering place of the Otherworldly Demons."

"The aura they exude can obscure the Great Dao of the Three Thousand Great Daos," Xu Chen said, frowning slightly.

"Should we lure it out?"

“The Otherworldly Demons are extremely sensitive to the auras of powerful beings in the Star Sea,” Sun Ba asked.

"No need. This is our army's first battle, and the number of troops is just right; it's enough for practice."

As Xu Chen spoke, the innate treasure warship seemed to have entered a demonic abyss.

More than two thousand alien demons, each no smaller than 100,000 zhang in size, appeared before Xu Chen.

"attack!"

Xu Chen simply uttered a single word, as if ten thousand rays of light had merged into one, and a long spear pierced directly through dozens of alien demons.

As the battle began, Xu Chen stood at the bow of the innate treasure warship, quietly watching the battlefield without giving any command, just as he usually did when practicing in the Chaos Realm.

The battle quickly escalated from the very beginning.

The ten thousand Nether Sparrows, like a pack of wolves, surrounded the two thousand alien demons, employing a battle formation they had practiced countless times.

As the number of alien demons dwindles, the remaining alien demons grow stronger.

Casualties also began to appear in the Ghost Sparrow Army.

Whenever casualties occurred, Xu Chen would use time to bring the fallen Youque Army back to life.

When only one hundred demons remained, the Ghost Sparrow Army's battle formation attacks began to lose their effectiveness.

It can only consume a large amount of its own essence to unleash the most powerful battle formation time and time again.

In a final, desperate battle, the Ghost Sparrow Army managed to reduce the number of demons to just ten after exhausting sixty percent of their own power.

At this moment, a mid-grade innate supreme treasure battle sword appeared in Xu Chen's hand.

"retreat!"

With just one word, Xu Chen quickly made the Youque Army vacate the battlefield.

The sword flashed out, seemingly drifting through the long river of time.

As the Dream Realm descended, Xu Chen divided the battlefield.

"Time Slash!"

With a single slash, the ten demonic creatures seemed to be severely injured and vanished instantly.

In the instant these alien demons vanished, Xu Chen used the Path of Time to slash towards the future.

They directly killed the newly formed alien demon.

The slaying of the last alien demon was like clearing away a malignant tumor from the Star Sea.

A peculiar aura dissipated, and this starry sea returned to its original state.

"Time is usable, but it consumes too much of one's essence." Xu Chen slowly sheathed his battle sword and looked at the Youque Army.

"Return to the war zone to recover~"

On the returning warship, fifty-three Youque Army warriors knelt before Xu Chen.

Xu Chen pulled them back from the brink of death. If Xu Chen hadn't intervened, these fifty-three Youque Army soldiers would have remained in this border region forever.

"Get up. As the commander of the Youque Army, the last thing I want to see is my troops being lost."

"Now that we've been resurrected, let's fight well from now on."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he summoned all the Youque soldiers to begin the debriefing.

In the war zone where the Youque Army was located, Xu Chen successfully completed his mission, and the Youque Army earned 2347 military merits.

Xu Chen looked at the military merits he had received after the distribution and couldn't help but sigh.

In a military camp spanning a hundred miles, Xu Chen looked at the nearly half-destroyed Youque Army warriors. It would take at least a thousand years for them to fully recover their original strength here. "It seems I need to find a way to refine some pills that can restore one's original strength at the border," Xu Chen said, forming hand seals. A divine tree of the Great Dao of Life slowly appeared in the center of the camp, its canopy covering the entire area.

The last surge of rich life force flowed into the body of every warrior in the Ghost Sparrow Army.

Inside Xu Chen's private tent, he examined the Great Dao Divine Source Pill issued by the Divine Army, hoping to decipher its formula.

Sun Ba walked into the tent, looking listless.

"Can this kind of specially made pill to restore one's original essence be refined elsewhere?" Xu Chen asked, holding the specially made Great Dao Divine Origin Pill in his hand.

“Apart from the major divine races, I have never heard of any other forces or races being able to refine this kind of specially made pill to restore one’s original essence,” Sun Ba said.

"I understand." Xu Chen nodded and dismissed Sun Ba.

Within the sacred white space, the illusory god pushed open the chaotic gate of alchemy.

In an area resembling the border of a starry sea, the boy possessed by Xu Chen was watching his master slay the border demons.

However, the corpse of the border demon that the master killed did not disappear, but instead transformed into a crystallized form of the purest energy.

"My dear disciple, it's time to teach you some things from beyond the star system~"

"Within the star field, three thousand Dao exist, and any living being can comprehend the Great Dao and become stronger."

"Outside the star field, the Great Dao is not visible, and time is no more. Once inside, one cannot draw upon the source from the surroundings to recover; one can only exert the power within one's own source."

"At this time, the means to restore power outside the star field are extremely important."

"Today, I will teach you the most important method of refining pills in our Relying Mountain Divine Sect."

"The process of refining the Extraterrestrial Divine Source Pill is the same as that of refining an ordinary Great Dao Divine Source Pill, but the most important step is to add the power of this alien demonic origin."

"The method of refining is not unusual; what is difficult is how to extract this power from the alien demon?"

"Ordinary forces can only slowly gather from the border areas and turn into alien magic crystal mines, but this method is extremely time-consuming. Sometimes, even after several cycles of destruction, a great world may not be able to produce a single crystal."

"But our Mountain God Sect has a unique method that allows us to extract power from each alien demon and condense alien demon crystal ore."

"Now I will teach you how to gather this power."

Xu Chen possessed the boy's body, listening attentively to the lesson, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

After hundreds of years in the Chaos Sect, when Xu Chen extracted the Demon Crystal Ore from a Demon, he quickly refined a specially made Great Dao Divine Source Pill to pass the level.

Inside the tent, Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Time, Thunder, Devouring, Destruction, and Life require five Great Daos to condense, and fortunately, I am proficient in all five."

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Chen took out his military commander's token and began searching for alien crystal mines in the border war zone database.

"A shortcut!" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.

There are also special resources in the border areas, among which the Chaos Gods need the most: the Otherworldly Crystal Ore.

A palm-sized piece of alien crystal ore can be exchanged for tens of thousands of military merits.

Xu Chen, who had been preparing here for tens of millions of years, suddenly had a sparkle in his eyes, and that feeling of being on top of the world returned.

As for the specially made Great Dao Divine Source Pill, Xu Chen did not intend to take it out.

"I'll stay here for tens of millions of years, and when the time is almost up, I'll pretend to have discovered a large magical crystal mine, make a quick buck, and then leave."

"In the Daoist temple, I will gather all 108 of the remaining Great Daos and then return to the human realm," Xu Chen silently planned.

Another 400 years have passed, and the Holy Warriors in the Ghost Sparrow Army have all returned to their perfect state.

Inside the war zone temple, Xu Chen met the liaison officer of the Ghost Sparrow Army once again.

"Accept the mission!"

"Six hundred years ago, 3000 alien demons broke into the border and hid in the Star Sea, preparing to welcome the arrival of the alien demons from their tribe. Do you want to accept this mission?" The Chaos God Clan liaison officer asked Xu Chen.

"Can I know the location?"

The closer the alien demons are to the border area, the harder they are to fight. However, if the alien demons venture deep into the Star Sea, that's a different story.

“Here~” the liaison officer provided a coordinate.

Xu Chen looked at the coordinates; this place was the boundary where the void and the boundary merged into one.

"Accepted~"

The moment Xu Chen agreed, the military commander's token received the mission message.

The innate treasure warship slowly flew towards that area.

Millions of years passed as Xu Chen led the Youque Army on their journeys.

When the many soldiers of the Ghost Sparrow Army learned that Xu Chen would not be serving a second term, they all showed expressions of reluctance.

At the border, the Ghost Sparrow Army skillfully surrounded and annihilated 4000 alien demons.

After millions of years of honing their skills, Xu Chen no longer needs to lift a finger to subdue the 4000 alien demons.

Outside the battlefield, Xu Chen slowly used special methods to condense the alien demon crystal ore.

Over the course of millions of years, the magical crystal ore that Xu Chen has condensed has piled up into a small mountain in his spatial treasure, which, if converted into military merits, would be at least hundreds of millions.

"I feel like I'm destined to have plenty of money, no matter where I go."

The 4000 demons were quickly wiped out by the Ghost Sparrow Army.

Even the last of the alien demons did not last three days against the Ghost Sparrow Army.

After the battle, Xu Chen led the Youque Army back to the war zone to hand in the mission.

"Over the years, your Sparrow Army has achieved a 100% mission completion rate, far exceeding that of other armies."

"You've earned 30 military merits during this term. Aren't you going to consider doing a few more terms?"

"Although your current military merits are enough for you to advance to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, military merits are not limited to this. As long as you have enough military merits, you can exchange for high-grade or even top-grade innate treasures or spiritual items." When the liaison officer of the Youque Army learned that Xu Chen was only going to serve for one term, he tried his best to persuade him to stay.

"No need, I've already accumulated enough military merits."

"In addition, I have also discovered a magical crystal mine that I plan to hand over."

"Otherworldly Demon Crystal Mine! How much is there?!" The Chaos God Clan liaison officer immediately stood up excitedly, looking at Xu Chen with delighted eyes.

"It can be exchanged for more than 1 million military merits," Xu Chen said.

"follow me!"

The Chaos God Clan liaison officer immediately grabbed Xu Chen's hand and led him through a unique door to a more expansive temple.

Seated atop the temple was a powerful Chaos God.

"You've discovered a mine of alien demonic crystals. How much is it?" The voice of the Chaos God Clan expert on the main seat was hoarse.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Chen created a small mountain inside the temple.

The powerful Chaos God Clan member in the main seat immediately stood up, took a step forward, and came to the pile of alien demonic crystals, gently stroking each crystal.

"Excellent! You've solved our war zone's urgent problem!"

“These can be exchanged for military merits, 130 million, I’ll make it 150 million for you.”

A large hand patted Xu Chen on the shoulder.

At this moment, Xu Chen's military commander token also received news of his military merits being awarded.

“In the border region, every tens of billions of years there will be a lucky one who gains tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of military merits.” The powerful man said, looking at Xu Chen.

"Make good use of these military merits. If used well, they can make your clan a top-tier holy clan."

The powerful figure waved his hand and collected the alien crystals, showing no doubt whatsoever about Xu Chen's claim that he had found them at the border.

Inside the border war zone mission temple, Xu Chen handed over his standard armor and the innate treasure warship, and, carrying a large sum of money, boarded a special teleportation array to reach the Chaos God Clan's order area. (End of Chapter)
