Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 128 First Battle

In the dark universe, a disc-shaped E9-class alloy spaceship is traveling at approximately ten times the speed of light.

Inside the spaceship's core cabin, Zhou Yang chatted casually with a group of teammates, listening to them share their survival experience in extraterrestrial battlefields.

The team consisted of eight people, including him.

Among them, the captain, Ferre, is a powerful Stone Ape Immortal who cultivates the Law of Earth. He is extremely powerful in both strength and defense, and is the absolute backbone of the entire team.

Apart from him, everyone else was at the level of a Realm Lord General.

Among them were a Dreamlight Clan illusionist, two ordinary mentalists, two martial artists, a mechanical master, and Zhou Yang, the newly joined mentalist controller.

Opposite Zhou Yang sat a seductive woman with pointed ears and a fluffy, snow-white tail.

She is the only illusionist in the team, Liuli, from the "Dreamlight Clan".

"By the way, Meteor, I haven't asked you yet what your military merit stat is?"

The alluring woman, Liuli, stared at Zhou Yang, her large, watery eyes seemingly overflowing with boundless affection.

Her voice was soft and sweet, like a gentle breeze that couldn't help but reach the depths of one's heart.

Zhou Yang clearly sensed that the auras of the several men in the cabin, including Captain Ferre, who was an immortal god, fluctuated slightly.

"The 'Dreamlight Clan' possesses such power when combined with their innate talent for enchanting illusions; they can even affect immortal gods with just a few words. There are countless races in the universe, each with its own unique abilities. We must be careful in the future."

Zhou Yang remained calm, even silently admonishing himself.

With his current soul strength, let alone an Immortal of the Dream Light Clan, even an Immortal Military Lord who specializes in cultivating the soul would not be able to easily shake him.

Not to mention, within his inner world, there is also a suspected supreme treasure, the 'Myriad Pagoda', guarding the outer perimeter of the Origin Pearl.

"One billion."

Zhou Yang responded with a faint smile.

"One billion!"

At this moment, the people in the cabin had suppressed their restlessness, and upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"One billion military merits—that's the maximum for a World Lord War General!"

"Being awarded such a high military merit indicates that the virtual universe system has determined that you possess strength comparable to an ordinary immortal god."

Captain Ferre, who looked like an ape, couldn't help but smack his lips, a smug expression on his face.

"Haha, I never expected that I, Old Fei, could recruit such a powerful genius so easily!"

Upon hearing his words, the other team members' expressions of shock deepened.

"Hiss~ A realm lord with battle prowess comparable to an immortal god."

Goodness, a World Lord-level being able to rival an Immortal God—such talent is extremely rare even in the entire 1008 Universe Kingdom of the human race!

And right now, they have one in their team!

With such a strong player joining, the improvement for their team is undoubtedly huge!

"Wow, Meteor, you must be a core genius cultivated by one of the five major powers, right? Is it the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena?"

The Tatu warrior, 'Lie,' who was tall and resembled a giant bear, spoke boldly.

Zhou Yang simply smiled and did not reply.

In this perilous battlefield beyond the borders, his identity naturally had to be kept strictly secret, otherwise he would easily be surrounded and killed by countless alien races.

"Lie, watch your mouth! Don't ask questions you shouldn't!"

Captain Ferre uttered a light snort.

Startled by his shout, Lie shrank back and awkwardly laughed:

"I understand, I understand, Meteor. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Ferre led the way in changing the subject, "We'll be arriving at our destination, the 'Fragmentation Belt,' in half a day. Meteor is a new addition to our group, so he probably knows very little about it. Before we arrive, let me give you a brief introduction."

"Meteor, remember this: in places like this fourth battlefield, most of it is empty void. These places are relatively safe, and you can quickly escape if you see enemies, but—"

He looked at Zhou Yang, "In certain special places, where there are large amounts of star fragments, meteorites, and land fragments, these are often the most dangerous places in this fourth battlefield because they are easy to hide in!"

Zhou Yang listened quietly, nodding occasionally.

With his authority, he had naturally already gathered a great deal of information about this extraterritorial battlefield.

These secret realms, which were used as battlefields by the human race and other major powerful races, originally contained individual stars.

The battle, which lasted for billions of epochs, shattered even some stars, naturally forming 'sharded star belts' composed of star fragments.

"This time we're going to the 014280932684 asteroid belt."

Ferrer solemnly instructed:

"Remember, there are far too many powerful alien beings lurking in the Shattered Star Belt, so prolonged battles are strictly prohibited! And excessive ostentation is forbidden!"

"If the battle drags on, the commotion will attract other powerful alien races, and being surrounded and attacked would be disastrous."

"Even if a noble or immortal god possesses an immortal body and dares to be arrogant and conceited, they will be attacked by a group and annihilated into nothingness!"

"clear."

Zhou Yang nodded.

The disc-shaped spaceship sped forward, but soon slowed down and left the dark universe.

After traveling at sub-light speed for nearly half a day, they finally arrived at their destination, the asteroid belt.

Through the virtual exterior view, Zhou Yang could see the starry sky outside the spaceship, with fragments of planets floating everywhere in the void.

These 'shattered stars' were almost everywhere, and an invisible malevolent aura was also invading through the spaceship.

"The fragments of planets in the Shattered Star Belt, after being transformed by the secret realm, are extremely hard. Even a World Lord-level expert would find it extremely difficult to destroy them, making them very suitable for infiltration and combat."

Captain Ferre chuckled, "Besides, with so many battles fought here, countless strong individuals have fallen, making the murderous aura here extremely frightening."

"If you feel unwell, you can send a sliver of your consciousness into the virtual universe network to relax. No one will laugh at you, after all, this place isn't just a day or two, but hundreds or thousands of years."

The spaceship continued forward, while Ferre looked at the intelligent display screen on his arm, on which were scattered green dots.

The human race possesses a virtual universe, a near-cheat-like auxiliary tool that gives them a significant advantage in battlefield communication and coordination.

As long as consciousness is connected to the virtual universe and remains active, the virtual universe system will display the coordinates of all comrades and allies within a range of 10 billion kilometers.

It can not only display the coordinates of comrades and allies within a range of one billion kilometers, but also call for help in times of crisis, so that all humans and allies within a range of tens of billions of kilometers will receive the distress call.

Thanks to the powerful capabilities of the virtual universe, the survivability of human squads on extraterrestrial battlefields has been greatly enhanced.

"This area has many powerful human warriors and is relatively safe, but we cannot let our guard down."

He reminded him.

The spaceship kept moving forward.

In the beginning, it was almost entirely within the sphere of influence of human groups and allied groups.

On the third day, the spacecraft's detectors finally showed abnormal fluctuations.

"A squad led by an immortal from another race, prepare for battle!"

Inside the spaceship, Captain Ferre's low shout rang out!
