Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 72 Extraterritorial Battlefield

The first of the two Chaos Monument quests is counting down to its end in 898 years.

A streamlined cyan spaceship tore through the veil of the dark universe and appeared in an unfamiliar starry sky.

"We've arrived." Inside the control room, Ye Feng's lips curled into a slight smile.

Within human territory, there are eight rear bases responsible for transporting troops to the outer battlefields, and they also serve as important transit points. The closest to the Nine Swords Secret Realm is this "Yuwu Star".

Ahead of the spaceship, a massive planet floated in the starry sky, radiating a cold, artificial glow—Yuwu Star.

It is not a natural celestial body, but a war fortress built by the powerful human race at great expense. It has a diameter of over one million kilometers and is strong enough to withstand the attack of an ordinary universe master.

"beep-

'

"Master, guidance signal received from Yuwu Star." The spaceship's intelligent life support system announced.

"Connect it, guide it into port," Ye Feng ordered.

From this moment on, he officially stepped into the rules system of the extraterritorial battlefield.

Unlike within the virtual universe company, where one can leverage their genius to gain some advantages—for example, in the Blood Luo World demanding Blood Luo Crystals from the Immortal Temple Master—here, any violation can result in the most severe punishment, even immediate execution. The extraterritorial battlefield is a meat grinder of bloody battles against alien races, allowing no room for complacency.

Whoosh.

He boarded the "Flowing Sword" spaceship bestowed upon him by the Nine Swords Venerable and swiftly glided into the massive port of Yuwu Star.

At the same time, Ye Feng also reported his "identity" through the system: human, affiliated with the Virtual Universe Audit Company, and the Immortal Sword Blazing Marquis.

Although my actual combat strength is at the high level of a King-level expert, it's best to keep a low profile since I'm new here. The identity alias given to me by the Chaos City Lord is perfect for this.

The title of Marquis is already high enough. The vast majority of those who enter the extraterrestrial battlefield through Yuwu Star are cannon fodder below the Immortal level.

Immortal gods? You'd be lucky to encounter one every few decades. As for those who are granted the title of Marquis and become immortal? You might not see even one every few hundred or a thousand years choose this place as their entrance.

Yuwu Star, spaceship docking platform.

The hatch slid open, and Ye Feng, dressed in a white robe, floated out, casually putting away the Flowing Sword.

The doors of several spaceships that arrived almost simultaneously also opened. As soon as the people inside came out, they were all shocked by the overwhelming aura of a Marquis-level being emanating from Ye Feng, which was disguised by the Demon Killing Mask.

"Immortal gods."

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they subconsciously bowed and stepped back to show their respect.

"Your Excellency, welcome to Yuwu Star." A glamorous receptionist with a fluffy tail stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Ye Feng, in his slender form as Sword Blazing Marquis, nodded slightly, his tone calm. "To the outer battlefield, lead the way."

On a huge plaza with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

Thousands of soldiers waited listlessly.

The cost of teleportation to the Divine Kingdom is high, and the logistics base needs to gather a certain number of people before teleportation can be activated.

"Big brother, how much longer do we have to wait? This is so boring," a realm lord with a flame mark between his eyebrows complained to the person next to him.

The realm lord next to him, who had a water droplet mark between his eyebrows, remained calm. "What's the rush? We'll probably have everyone ready in another ten days or so."

"Sigh, all we can do is wait—the extraterritorial battlefield, a meat grinder with a 90% mortality rate, it's actually kind of exciting to think about—" another realm lord interjected.

Those realm lords who dare to come here are very confident in their own strength, and a considerable number of them have gained recognition from some kind of fundamental law.

Just then, an invisible pressure swept across the plaza. An immortal deity dressed in standard battle armor was seen smiling broadly as he accompanied a young man in white robes.

The young man had delicate features, but the aura he exuded was as if he had just emerged from the bloodbath of Mount Hu, carrying a chilling heat and murderous intent. Behind him were three staff members from Yuwu Star.

"Cosmic level, assemble here."

"Lord of the Domain, this way."

"All realm lords, assemble here immediately."

A loud voice from the staff member rang out, and at the same time, the huge teleportation gate in the center of the square slowly opened.

This sudden turn of events left the waiting soldiers both surprised and delighted. They were delighted because they no longer had to wait and could immediately enter the battlefield; they were surprised because this clearly unconventional operation must have a reason.

"Is it because of that white-robed immortal?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Feng, and they wondered what was going on.

The immortal warrior in standard armor faced the plaza and announced loudly, "Fellow Realm Lord Warriors. Normally, you need to gather a hundred people to teleport. But today, Lord Swordfire Marquis will also be heading to the outer battlefield. Teleportation will begin immediately, and you are fortunate to travel with him."

The realm lords immediately realized: "As expected."

Yuwu Star would make ordinary warriors line up, but it would never make the esteemed Marquis and Immortal wait long. They were only doing this because of the "Sword-Burning Marquis".

"To be granted a title and immortality—we came to this godforsaken place just so that one day we could be like you, sir—" a realm lord murmured, his eyes filled with envy.

Why would these powerful beings, who wield immense influence in their respective universes, risk coming to this battlefield with its extremely high mortality rate? It's all for the sake of breaking through to immortality and gaining the formidable strength of a marquis.

The immortal in standard armor turned serious, "However, the army has its ironclad rules. Once on the battlefield, you can no longer be as free and undisciplined as you were when you were traveling alone."

The realm lords held their breath and listened attentively.

"Before departure, a traditional authorization ceremony must be performed," the Immortal solemnly announced.

The cosmic-level, domain lord, and world lord figures quickly formed three long lines and began to receive authorization.

Under the personal guidance of the Immortal Armor, Ye Feng arrived directly in front of the teleportation water curtain that emitted a hazy light.

"Lord Swordfire, our destination for this teleportation is the Ninth Battlefield," the Immortal in standard armor announced.

"The Ninth Battlefield?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curving his lips. "The one with an average mortality rate of 99%, known as the boundless purgatory, the infamous Ninth Battlefield, ranked number one in the outer battlefields?"

The order in which you are teleported to an extraterritorial battlefield is determined by sequence. For example, if this time it is the ninth battlefield, then the next time it will be the twelfth battlefield, and the next time it will be the eleventh battlefield, and so on.

Even as a noble and immortal marquis, he could not arbitrarily decide which battlefield to go to!

His mind raced. "What a coincidence? My eldest brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother—aren't they training on the Ninth Battlefield?"

When Master Jiujian accepted him as a disciple, he mentioned that his second senior brother was in the Ancestral God Sect, his third and fourth senior brothers were helping him with affairs at the Virtual Universe Company, and the remaining three senior brothers were all fighting in the extraterrestrial battlefield.

Now, he's here too.

"I've met these three senior brothers in the virtual universe, so we're somewhat acquainted. I wonder if we'll run into each other again?"

As Ye Feng thought to himself, he stepped into the teleportation water curtain.

This water curtain is one kilometer wide and one kilometer high.

Thousands of warriors followed Ye Feng and stepped into the water curtain one by one.
