The Virtual Universe Company holds extremely high standards for every “Primordial Secret Sovereign.” Luo Feng, having passed the ‘Primordial Heaven Mountain of Domain Lord level’ and earned 3 billion points, and being the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, it’s easy to imagine how immensely high the Virtual Universe Company’s trials of life and death for him would be.
He is undoubtedly the most rigorously tested among all the Primordial Secret Sovereigns!
The 10 trillion military merit quota is also a requirement given after careful verification.
…
Time passed.
“We will arrive at our destination, the ‘Shattered Star Belt,’ in half a day,” Taiwo’s gaze swept across the nine Sovereign warriors, his eyes filled with solemnity. “The Shattered Star Belt is an extremely dangerous zone. Luo Feng and Rock, you two probably know very little about the Shattered Star Belt. Before we arrive, let me briefly explain it to you.”
Luo Feng and Rock listened attentively.
Luo Feng dared not be careless either. Alien experts wield strange techniques; if he were careless, even with his strength, he could still end up dead.
“Everywhere in this star region is a battlefield.”
“Combat can erupt anywhere,” Taiwo looked at Luo Feng and Rock. “However, battles are divided into two types: large-scale army battles and elite squad skirmishes.”
“Beings like Cosmic-level or Domain Lords are relatively weak. Ordinary Sovereign warriors, without being invited into elite squads, can only end up commanding large groups of Cosmic-level and Domain Lords, forming various armies.” Taiwo explained. “These armies wage wars under the leadership of Immortal Gods against alien armies. Immortal Gods fight Immortal Gods, the weak fight the weak…”
“But we are different.”
“We are elite Sovereign squads; a single squad can rival an entire army.” Taiwo said. “However, elites are rare, and throughout the Seventh Star Battlefield, many areas are vast and empty voids where enemies can be seen from afar, allowing early retreat if they are too strong. Hence, these areas are unsuitable for combat zones.”
“Therefore, within the Seventh Battlefield, there are many special combat zones where numerous experts from various races, led by the four peak races, lie in wait, hiding and fighting each other in fierce and bloody battles.”
“The 001289038484 Star Battlefield we are heading to—the ‘Shattered Star Belt’—is a well-known combat zone. Over billions of years, countless alien experts have perished here.”
Taiwo lightly tapped the air.
Instantly, light converged to form a projection screen displaying a star chart.
“This is the Shattered Star Belt.” Taiwo pointed at the image on the screen.
Luo Feng looked closely.
The Shattered Star Belt seemed to be a region floating with dense meteorites.
“Legend has it that before this celestial secret realm became a battleground, it was once a colossal planet, rumored to span millions of kilometers in diameter,” Taiwo sighed. “Later, this planet was shattered by a supreme powerhouse from the ‘Thousand-Legged Centipede Clan,’ one of the royal bloodlines among the Demon Tribes. The explosion scattered its fragments across a starry expanse spanning 0.8 light-years. Over billions of years of warfare and relentless destruction, these countless shards have filled this vast region, now known as the ‘Sea of Shattered Stars.'”
“And this 0.8 light-year diameter star region is the Shattered Star Belt!” Taiwo declared.
Luo Feng nodded slightly. “Planetary fragments? Has anyone ever calculated how many there are?”
“Countless, almost certainly at least one planetary fragment in every 100 million kilometers. Some areas are densely packed, others sparser, but altogether they cover the entire 0.8 light-year diameter region…” Taiwo smiled. “These planetary fragments, possibly due to the secret realm’s cosmic energy, are extremely cold and hard. Even a Sovereign’s full-force strike finds it difficult to destroy them.”
“Because the battlefield is hard to destroy, the ‘Shattered Star Belt’ has become a well-known combat zone, where large groups of alien experts lie hidden.” Taiwo added.
“Remember!”
“In the Shattered Star Belt, too many alien experts are hiding, so prolonged fighting is strictly prohibited! Being too conspicuous is also forbidden!” Taiwo emphasized seriously. “If a battle lasts too long, the noise will attract other alien experts, leading to an encirclement and a tragic end. And if you’re too conspicuous… even an Earl Immortal with an immortal body would be ruthlessly destroyed if they dare to act arrogantly, being annihilated completely!”
Luo Feng nodded.
…
Finally, this disc-shaped E9-class spaceship arrived at the Shattered Star Belt.
Looking outside through the external view, Luo Feng saw countless planetary fragments floating in the distant cosmos. These ‘Shattered Stars’ were almost everywhere, and an invisible malevolence permeated the spaceship.
“The Shattered Star Belt, where countless experts have perished. The malevolence here is truly terrifying,” Poison chuckled. “If you feel uncomfortable, you can split a bit of your consciousness into the Virtual Universe Network to relax. No one will mock you, considering we’re not staying here for a day or two, but for centuries or even millennia.”
“There are human Sovereign squads,” Luo Feng glanced at the screen on his arm device.
In the battlefield, humans can naturally support each other.
Keeping the main consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe and the system active will display the coordinates of all comrades and allies within a 1 billion kilometer radius.
1. Display comrades and allies’ coordinates (within a 1 billion kilometer radius)
2. Call for help in emergencies (all humans and allies within a 10 billion kilometer radius will receive the distress signal)
These are the two main functions of the Virtual Universe Network on the battlefield.
Of course, there are other functions such as contacting superiors, calculating military merits, etc.
“The Shattered Star Belt has many alien experts,” Kuangwu smiled. “But also many human experts and alien allies… Discovering comrades and allies’ coordinates within a 1 billion kilometer radius is quite common.”
They continued forward.
Frequently discovering comrades’ and allies’ coordinates.
“Stop.”
“Our temporary base in the Shattered Star Belt will be here for now,” Taiwo ordered, and the spaceship quickly halted. “We’re going out.”
Whoosh!
Luo Feng and the others quickly flew out of the cabin one by one, while Taiwo first retracted the rest cabin into his space ring and then the spaceship.
The group stood in the starry sky.
“We flew all the way here, especially noticing many human and alien ally coordinates in the recent large area, indicating this is mainly our human territory, so we chose to establish our base here,” Taiwo smiled.
The nine Sovereigns nodded.
Luo Feng also noticed through his arm device that there were two concentrated coordinates within a 1 billion kilometer radius, clearly indicating two elite squads of humans and alien allies hiding within that range.
“That planetary fragment,” Taiwo pointed into the distance. “Scouting revealed a deep cave base inside, probably left by some past squad, so we don’t need to expend effort building one ourselves.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The ten experts swiftly flew forward, traversing millions of kilometers in moments, landing directly on an irregular planetary fragment.
This ‘Shattered Star’ bore many scars, obviously having been affected by numerous battles over billions of years. The largest diameter of this ‘Shattered Star’ was 1.6 kilometers, and the smallest was 1.1 kilometers. This Shattered Star had a total of 21 deep channels, all leading to caves inside the star’s core.
Luo Feng’s squad followed one of the deep channels directly into the core.
This was a spacious cave about a hundred meters in diameter.
“Quite spacious,” Taiwo smiled, pointing to the ground.
Whoosh!
A resting hut crafted entirely from ‘Tungstenflame Motherstone’ materialized from the void, alighting upon the cavern floor.
“Open the door,” Taiwo ordered.
The rest cabin’s door automatically opened, and the group entered.
…
Inside the Shattered Star, within the cabin.
“We’ve just arrived at the Shattered Star Belt; everyone rest first,” Taiwo smiled, pointing to the ground. “I’ll first connect to the Virtual Universe Network to contact our neighbors—the comrades and allies in the other two locations within a billion kilometers. Although the human forces dominate this area, there might be some top-tier alien experts who have entered without our knowledge. We can’t detect enemy alien coordinates, and any aliens daring to attack would certainly be confident in their abilities. A single Sovereign squad might not be able to handle it alone, so it’s better to communicate with comrades and allies.”
With that, Taiwo closed his eyes, connecting his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network to contact the neighbors.
Others relaxed and rested.
Everyone calmed their minds.
Relaxing and resting was also for better combat readiness.
“1 billion military merits, 10 trillion military merits.” Luo Feng sat on the sofa, silently thinking. “The army’s mission for me is to earn 1 billion military merits. Once I complete that, I will be free to choose ‘retirement,’ ‘exchange treasures,’ ‘continue fighting,’ or ‘fight alone.'”
“Right.”
“For now, I will temporarily stay with Taiwo and the others, quickly familiarize myself with the battlefield outside the domain, accumulate some experience, and also gather the 1 billion military merits earlier.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “After accumulating 1 billion military merits, I estimate I will have understood the survival methods of the battlefield outside the domain, so there will be no need to stay with the Sovereign squad anymore.”
Staying with the Sovereign squad limited his ability to fully unleash his strength.
With many people around, if he were to unleash his true power, it would definitely shock them. They would inevitably share the news with their close friends, leading to leaks… which would bring him great trouble.
Luo Feng was well aware.
The identity of being the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord brought not only benefits but also danger—the relentless pursuit and killing by alien races.
“Later, I will act alone.”
“That way, I can unleash my full strength against alien experts in fierce duels. Even if my identity is exposed, I can quickly move to another location.”
“Right.”
“I’m still very inexperienced now; I need to accumulate some battlefield experience.” Luo Feng thought silently. “During my time with the Sovereign squad, I’ll also help them out a bit.”
At this moment, Taiwo opened his eyes.
“Ha ha, I’ve already contacted our neighbors. They are also two elite Sovereign squads led by Immortal Gods. One is a human elite Sovereign squad, and the other is an alien ally squad.” Taiwo smiled. “We will form an offensive and defensive alliance. If any super alien expert attacks, we three parties can join forces, greatly increasing our chances of survival. Everyone rest for a day; tomorrow, we begin our combat!”
“Yes!”
The nine Sovereign warriors responded, showing a bit of excitement and anticipation.
