While Lin Yuan was fighting Blood Fang King, on the other side, Qing Teng Hou led more than three hundred elite warriors from various clans, roaring as they charged towards Yue and Ren.

"Kill them!" Qing Teng Hou roared, trying to dispel the fear in his heart.

The two sides are too close to use a cluster attack. Otherwise, if it triggers a resonance of the laws, even if they can defeat the Firewood Squad, they will still perish here.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the alien nobles, Yue remained calm. She slightly raised her eyes, and an invisible spatial fluctuation once again spread.

"town."

It has a small scope but is more concise.

The two hundred or so powerful individuals at the forefront, who were at the Marquis level or above, felt as if they had crashed into an invisible iron wall. Their thoughts were suppressed, and their divine power flowed sluggishly, making them no different from the cannon fodder who had initially lured the Firewood Squad.

Yue controlled the situation solely through soul interference and exquisite spatial manipulation, clearly intending to play it safe.

On another battlefield, facing a tidal wave of attacks, Blade's eyes remained as sharp as ever, but he no longer possessed the restraint he had when he was with his team.

The sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling silver light. It was no longer the sword domain that had been used for hundreds of thousands of years to restrict opponents from self-destructing, but a terrifying sword intent that had been integrated with the profound meaning of spatial strangulation!

"Empty Trace, Ten Thousand Ren!"

The blade's figure blurred instantly, transforming into a silver lightning bolt that weaved through the crevices of space.

His speed was too fast, and his sword light was too sharp!

The sneer on the face of the demon clan leader, who was at the forefront, had not yet faded when a flash of silver light appeared, and his divine body was silently severed in two, his consciousness instantly plunging into darkness.

On the other side, two Zerg warriors launched a coordinated attack from both sides, their carapaces strong enough to withstand even ordinary high-level attacks.

The blade-like sword light swept past, cutting a rift in space, and the carapace that was strong enough to withstand the attack of a high-level Marquis was neatly split in two!

Sold out instantly!

High-level Marquis Conferment? Peak Marquis Conferment?

Faced with the unparalleled sharpness of the blade at its fullest potential, there seemed to be no essential difference!

Qing Teng Hou was terrified. This blade had been hiding its strength for hundreds of thousands of years!

Fighting only those at the initial stage of the Marquis rank is merely a smokescreen to lull them into a false sense of security. Their true combat strength has already reached the peak of the Marquis rank, and they may even be on the verge of becoming Kings!

"No...impossible!" Qing Teng Hou screamed, turning around to run away.

But Ren's gaze was already fixed on him.

A silver sword mark that spanned space rapidly magnified in Qing Teng Hou's eyes.

He desperately burned his divine power and offered up his life-saving treasures, but in the face of the opponent's sword intent that could cut through anything, all his defenses were as flimsy as paper.

puff!

The sword light passed right through his body.

Qing Teng Hou stood frozen in place, his divine body suddenly collapsing, and his consciousness sinking into oblivion.

……

On the continent of Flame Sacrifice, outside the Burial Fire Basin.

In the void, hundreds of Zerg immortal warriors were scattered across a range of tens of millions of kilometers, forming an invisible encirclement.

Their compound eyes shimmered, transmitting the scene from the center of the battlefield back to their distant mother nest in real time.

In the scene, the young human in silver armor wields a gleaming gold longsword, its blade tearing through space in its wake.

With a single strike, more than half of the divine body of a Zerg warrior at the peak of the Marquis level was annihilated, and a follow-up strike completely reduced him to ashes.

"A mere Realm Lord was able to annihilate a peak Marquis-level expert with a single blow..."

In a secluded part of the starry sky, thirteen star sectors away from the Flame Sacrifice Continent, within a Zerg hive ninety thousand kilometers high, Queen Avril opened her eyes.

Her main responsibility was to assassinate geniuses of other races in the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield, so whenever the three races acted together, she would send warriors to gather intelligence.

At this moment, dozens of real-time battle scenes were floating in front of Avril, the most eye-catching of which was the human world lord.

"This level of combat prowess is far beyond that of an ordinary genius!" she murmured to herself. "Considering the seventeen targets that suddenly disappeared from the recent secret assassination list..."

She pulled up another encrypted intelligence report, which was a list of assassination targets for geniuses of other races designated by the Zerg.

Originally, the person at the top of the list was a realm lord from the human race named Lawrence.

He is hailed as a genius rarely seen in tens of millions of eras, sharing the same title as that madwoman, Flame Moon King, and has been listed as a top protected individual by the Virtual Universe Company.

But just 300,000 years ago, their trail disappeared from the spy network, and all the spies the Zerg had planted in human territory were unaware of their whereabouts.

"Virtual Universe Corporation's protective measures?" A sharp glint flashed in Avril's eyes. "But this overwhelming combat power has already betrayed your identity!"

She then looked at another image.

"Meng Qi... although he could severely injure a beginner-level King with a soul attack 100,000 years ago, his combat power hasn't increased much this time. What caused Blood Fang King's demise was some kind of external substance, similar to Femo Venom?"

After pondering for a moment, Avril guessed, "Treasures of this level are usually very expensive, and ordinary peak-level Marquis level cultivators would find them difficult to acquire. He is likely to have a King-level expert supporting him."

Avril quickly compared the three's combat data with the known intelligence.

Three seconds later, she came to a conclusion.

"The peerless genius Lawrence, Meng Qi, the disciple of a king-level expert, and Yue, who is suspected of possessing a powerful treasure... This Firewood Squad poses an extremely high threat to the clan!"

Without hesitation, she sent her assessment and all combat footage to all Zerg units in the Seventh Battlefield, and simultaneously shared it with the Mech and Jade public networks.

Less than two minutes after the message was sent, almost simultaneously, a message in blood-red text popped up on the communicators of all the alien immortals in the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield:

[Joint Bounty by Three Races Updated]

First Place: Human Lawrence (World Lord)

Bounty: One ordinary treasure (any type, jointly provided by the three races)

Additional Bounty: 500 billion Chaos Units will be awarded to each of the team members Meng Qi and Yue.

Real-time coordinates: Flame Sacrifice Continent, Burial Fire Basin

Note: The target's combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary King-level expert. It is recommended that at least three King-level experts team up to kill the target.

boom--

The entire Seventh Battlefield instantly erupted in excitement.

"Heavy treasure!!!"

"A priceless treasure! The three most powerful clans have actually joined forces to offer a bounty for a priceless treasure!"

"Lawrence...is that legendary genius of the human race, a talent that appears only once every tens of millions of epochs? He's actually on the extraterrestrial battlefield!"

"On the Flame Sacrifice Continent! Hurry! If you're late, you won't even get a bowl of soup!"

"Notify all allies, depart immediately!"

……

Flame Sacrifice Continent, the central area of ​​the main continent.

Inside a technologically advanced mechanical spaceship, King Zizhong opened his eyes.

"A powerful treasure..." A hoarse voice rang out: "I now have the Demonic Sound Fire God Bell for defense, and another offensive powerful treasure will make me even stronger. At that time, even if I encounter multiple Kings at their limit, I will dare to compete with them... This opportunity must not be missed."

The spaceship instantly plunged into the dark universe, heading at full speed towards the Burial Fire Basin.

……

In the northwest of the main continent, deep within a burning nebula.

The giant serpent, tens of thousands of kilometers long, roared to the sky, its sound waves shattering dozens of asteroids in the starry sky.

"The blood of human geniuses... is the most delicious." A greedy glint flashed in the Burning Heaven King's crimson vertical pupils. "Killing them will at least yield a powerful treasure, and these geniuses undoubtedly possess many valuable items... Let's go!"

His massive body suddenly contracted, transforming into a streak of crimson light, and he teleported continuously, disregarding the depletion of his divine power.

Target: the Fire Basin!

……

The Zerg are even more frenzied.

While sending messages to her immortal-level sisters, Queen Avril also dispatched nearly a thousand marquis-level warriors: "Keep Lawrence in the Seventh Battlefield at all costs, and snatch back the domain-type treasure from Yue's hands!"

"yes!"

"Yes, sir!"

In a star sector relatively close to the Flame Sacrifice Continent, more than three hundred alien kings acted simultaneously.

Those who cannot teleport will board a spaceship and rush into the dark universe, pushing their speed to the limit;

Those who could teleport to the pinnacle of power disregarded the consumption of divine power and teleported continuously, traveling at breakneck speed.

"Faster! Faster!"

"The human race's leader must have received the news as well; we must arrive before them!"

"Surround the burial crematorium; don't let a single one escape!"

The immortals who were granted titles and honors traveled in large groups, while some lone warriors did so for military merit and bounties, and others for the mission of their clans.

The three dominant races have long reached a consensus: the most brilliant human genius must be killed, and the human race must not be allowed to grow any stronger!

"Kill Lawrence, and you'll get a great treasure!"

"Fight for your people!"

Crazy.

The entire Seventh Battlefield was centered around the Burial Fire Basin, forming a massive vortex that drew countless immortal powerhouses to it.

……

Almost simultaneously with the release of the alien intelligence, the human race's monitoring system on the Seventh Battlefield detected the information.

Virtual universe, the command hub of the seventh battlefield.

Dozens of human immortals clad in battle armor are rapidly processing information.

Suddenly, the alarm blared.

"Report! Large-scale encrypted intelligence detected, originating from Zerg Queen Avril. Part of the content has been deciphered—"

"What?! Lawrence's identity has been exposed!"

"The bounty list for the three races has been updated, offering a reward for a valuable treasure!"

"The alien kings near the Flame Sacrifice Continent are frantically gathering!"

The command center erupted in chaos.

Seated in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, wearing black armor with three stars on his epaulets.

This is one of the three commanders-in-chief of the seventh battlefield, the invincible king-level expert "Tianwu King".

"Immediately retrieve the live feed of the Burial Fire Basin!" King Tianwu's voice was calm, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The scene unfolds.

This is the scene of the Firewood Squad battling the Zerg.

"It really is Lawrence..." King Tianwu took a deep breath. He was the one who handled the procedures for the other party's secret entry into the extraterritorial battlefield, so he had met him once before.

"Commander, what do we do now?" a female King beside her cried out urgently. "The three races are offering a bounty for a powerful treasure. Those alien Kings will go crazy! There are at least three hundred alien Kings rushing towards the Flame Sacrifice Continent!"

King Tianwu swiftly issued the order:

"First, immediately send an emergency distress signal via the battlefield's public channel, with the highest privileges, to all humans and Hongmeng Kings in the Seventh Battlefield. Coordinates: Burial Basin. Objective: Protect Lawrence!"

"Second, report through the military system and request the mobilization of cosmic lord-level combat forces for support."

"Third, activate Operation Beacon Fire. All human military bases near the Flame Sacrifice Continent are placed on Level One alert, ready for large-scale legion battles at any time!"

"yes!"

The order was issued swiftly.

Three minutes after the alien intelligence spread, all humans and powerful members of the Hong Alliance on the Seventh Battlefield received a message marked with a scarlet symbol:

[Urgent SOS! In the Blazing Sacrifice Continent, Burial Basin, the identity of our clan's peerless genius, 'Lawrence,' has been exposed, and he is being besieged by hundreds of Kings from three clans. All nearby Kings are urged to immediately provide support! (Immediately, proceed to support!)]

"Lawrence?!"

"That peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs?"

"He's in the Fire Basin?!"

"Walk!"

The human faction reacted just as swiftly.

Although the total number of kings enfeoffed by the human race in the Seventh Battlefield is less than that of the three-race alliance, those who can survive in the outer battlefield for a long time are all the elite of the elite.

"Hahaha, those alien scum, they want to kill my human genius? Did they even ask me first!"

A rough, booming voice rang out in the squad channel.

The one who spoke was the "Black Axe King," a peak-level expert who came from the Giant Axe Arena. He was ten meters tall and wielded a ferocious black axe, making him look like a war fortress.

"Brothers, it's time to stretch our muscles! Let's head to the Burial Basin and have a good fight!"

"Let's go together!"

"Protecting geniuses is protecting the future of humanity!"

Another starry sky.

A swordsman in white stood silently in the void, carrying an ancient longsword on his back, his whole being resembling a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

Ling Chen, the "Sword King," is a top-tier expert who has reached the pinnacle of power.

"Lawrence... I've heard of his name before," Ling Chen said softly. "I've heard that he can even allow a World Lord to reverse the fate of a King. Such talent deserves our protection."

He took a step forward, and his figure transformed into a streak of sword light, instantly teleporting away.

The Hongmeng camp was also shaken.

"Lawrence...the most brilliant genius of this generation of humankind."

"The alien race has really gone all out this time, offering a bounty for such a valuable treasure."

"Our Hongmeng is of one heart and mind with humanity. If such a genius were to fall, it would be a great loss to our alliance."

"Set off!"

"Assemble!"

One by one, the Kings of the Grand Alliance emerged from their respective secluded cultivation grounds or secret realms.

There was the short, withered-armored clan warrior Iron Arm King; the earth dragon clan warrior Dragon War King, whose body was covered in dragon scales; and the crystalline crystal clan warrior Crystal Light King, whose body was entirely translucent…

Although they come from different ethnic groups, they share the same goal at this moment: to rush to the Fire Basin and protect the human genius!

……

King Tianwu stood in the command hall, looking at the constantly flashing points of light on the star map.

Blue dots represent kings appointed by humans and the Hongmeng (a secret alliance), while red dots represent kings appointed by other races.

At this moment, centered on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, blue and red light spots converged from all directions like two torrents.

There are about 120 blue dots, fewer than the more than 300 red dots, but each blue dot is significantly brighter—meaning their combat strength is generally assessed as being above the peak of the King level.

"Our people are of higher quality," King Tianwu said in a deep voice. "If we can get there first, we have a good chance of bringing Lawrence out."

"But there are too many alien races..." the adjutant beside him said worriedly. "Moreover, this time the three races are offering a reward for a great treasure, and even some invincible kings will probably be mobilized."

"So we have to be faster!"

He brought up several specially marked blue dots.

"I have already notified the nearest Thunder Illusion King, Ice Phoenix King, and Vajra King. All three of them are top-tier King-level experts who have mastered teleportation, and they are expected to arrive at the Burial Fire Basin within ten minutes."

"As long as they arrive first, they can stabilize the situation."

The adjutant nodded, but the worry in his eyes remained, because the red dot was moving at an astonishing speed.

Especially the few particularly bright red dots—

Purple Bell King (Mechanical Race, Peak of Kinghood)... Burning Heaven King (Demon Race, Limit of Kinghood)... Insect Race Thousand-Legged King (Limit of Kinghood)... These guys have all set off.

"A fierce battle is inevitable."
