The Yanji Continent is divided into a main continent and numerous land fragments surrounding it. Although these fragments are merely remnants, some of the larger ones would take even light more than one or two months to traverse entirely, illustrating their immense size.
“Whoosh!” A black flying saucer soared above one of the land fragments.
“So vast,” Luo Feng murmured.
Standing in the control room, Luo Feng gazed down at the endless expanse of land below. “This is just a fragment, yet we can’t even see its end.”
“Luo Feng, according to the star map, the main continent is Yanji Continent 01. The land fragment we are passing over now is Yanji 09. Its maximum diameter is about 9 trillion kilometers. The route we are taking around it spans roughly 7 trillion kilometers. Even at a constant speed of 290,000 kilometers per second, it will take us an entire month to pass through this area,” Babaata’s voice echoed within the control room.
Luo Feng nodded.
Even during their time in the Starfall Belt, their team’s operations only covered a range of a few days at light speed. Yanji 09, one of the larger fragments surrounding the main continent, would take about a month to cross even with a straight flight through it. It was clearly a battlefield suitable for many powerful clans.
“Immortal monarchs leading armies?”
“Hmm, wow, is that the Chadam Race? This is my first time seeing a Chadam lifeform. They look exactly as described in ancient records—cute. Just by appearance, one would never imagine how terrifying these adorable beings truly are.”
“Hey, a Marquis-level immortal?”
As the spaceship flew over Yanji 09 of the Yanji Continent, Luo Feng used the detection instruments to observe numerous squads within a range of 1 billion kilometers. As expected, although it was merely a land fragment, its sheer size meant that many alien experts had hidden here.
Squad after squad, many alien experts—clearly far stronger than those in the Starfall Belt. Immortal Monarchs were now a common sight.
Luo Feng was overwhelmed by the sheer number.
After a while, Luo Feng stopped observing the squads and simply said, “Babaata, you handle the detection instruments. Notify me if anything happens.” Then he returned to the rest chamber, which was made of F9-grade metal. This was one of the many spoils accumulated by Prince Mengweina over the years.
…
Half a month passed as the spaceship flew over Yanji 09.
Inside the rest chamber,
Luo Feng was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
“Luo Feng, Luo Feng!” Babaata’s urgent voice echoed in the chamber.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng asked.
“Come to the control room, quickly!” Babaata urged.
“Being mysterious again,” Luo Feng chuckled, stepping out of the chamber and heading to the control room.
By then, the control room had already activated the external view hologram. Luo Feng immediately saw the scene below and was startled.
“Babaata, why did you stop the spaceship? We were supposed to head to the main continent. Why stop above Yanji 09?” Luo Feng asked.
“Hehe,” Babaata chuckled.
Buzz!
A projection screen appeared before Luo Feng, displaying the image of a man wearing a dark green battle suit, with pointed ears and red eyes like a scorpion. Just looking at the image gave one a sense of coldness.
“Nuolan Shan?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Babaata, why are you showing me Nuolan Shan’s image? Could it be—”
His eyes lit up.
“Hehe, you guessed right,” Babaata said proudly.
“Did we really find Nuolan Shan?” Luo Feng was shocked. Even though he had suspected, he still couldn’t believe it. The battlefield beyond the stars was vast. Although he had passed through a massive region aboard the spaceship, scanning with the detection instruments still only covered a tiny fraction of the battlefield.
Yet he had encountered Nuolan Shan. Truly a matter of ‘fate’!
“The spaceship has been flying over Yanji 09 with the detection instruments active. Although we saw a few human squads, nothing special. Just now, the instruments detected Nuolan Shan. I immediately confirmed the signal and stopped the ship. Back then, Nuolan Shan used many methods to seize treasures from Earth. You and your family nearly fell into his hands,” Babaata explained. “Now that we’ve encountered him, as the saying on Earth goes… it’s fate that you should take revenge!”
“Hmph,” Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with coldness.
Back then, Nuolan Shan had first sent an interstellar fleet to Earth, using military force to threaten it. Many people died during that time. He forced Earth’s elites to leave their fortified bases by threatening to destroy Earth’s cities. Fortunately, Luo Feng became Earth’s Overlord in time, using the Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s laws to force them to retreat.
The Nuolan Shan family was not satisfied. They secretly left behind an elite squad to quickly and quietly kidnap Earth’s leaders, as well as Luo Feng’s wife, Xu Xin, and his younger brother, Luo Hua, to use as leverage.
Their many schemes failed.
They even sent two Cosmic-level experts, one of whom died, and the other became Luo Feng’s soul slave.
Finally, due to the “World Within a World” incident, Luo Feng had an expert kill Nuolan Shan, but Nuolan Shan had already fled in fear, escaping directly to the battlefield beyond the stars.
One scheme after another—if any had succeeded.
If Luo Feng had become Earth’s Overlord a little later, Earth might have become a wasteland, with countless deaths.
If he had failed to save his family, they likely would have perished.
“Nuolan Shan!” Luo Feng’s heart burned with killing intent. “It’s been over 4,000 years. I wonder how strong you’ve become.”
“Babaata,” Luo Feng commanded, “detect Nuolan Shan now and project the image.”
“At once.”
Instantly, the projection screen before Luo Feng displayed a shocking battle scene. On one side was a human force: two Immortal Monarchs, nearly 200 Monarchs, nearly 2,000 Domain Lords, and nearly 20,000 Cosmic-level warriors. On the other side was a beast race force led by a beast Immortal Monarch—a monstrous creature with four thick hooves, covered in scales and a thin layer of battle armor. It had two terrifying heads, one with golden eyes and the other with silver eyes.
This powerful beast Immortal Monarch was fighting two human Immortal Monarchs at once and actually suppressing them.
Meanwhile, the thousands of beast warriors—ranging from Monarchs to Cosmic-level entities—each bore a distinct and fearsome visage. The smallest among them stretched over ten meters in length, while the most colossal loomed at a staggering thirty-two kilometers. Though their numbers barely reached the thousands, their sheer, overwhelming presence eclipsed the human forces entirely.
Among the nearly 200 human Monarchs was a familiar figure—Nuolan Shan!
“Third-stage Monarch?”
Luo Feng, standing in the control room, looked down but could only see endless mist, unable to see the battle below. He looked back at the projection and sneered, “Nuolan Shan has improved quickly. In over 4,000 years, he has reached the third stage of Monarch. The effects of life-and-death trials are indeed impressive.”
“Mayday! Mayday! We are facing a beast Immortal Monarch, who possesses the strength of a peak Immortal General!” A distress signal was transmitted directly to Luo Feng through the military system via the virtual universe network.
The distress call was sent to all allies and comrades within 10 billion kilometers.
Luo Feng was less than 1 billion kilometers from the battlefield. However, due to the advanced detection instruments, the two sides’ sensors were blocked, so neither could detect him. But the human side could use the “Military System” to know the positions of allies within a certain range.
“Luo Feng, one of the human Immortal Monarchs below is requesting to speak with you,” Babaata said.
“Connect the call,” Luo Feng nodded. “Transfer it to the arm display.”
The screen displayed a white-robed man with a worried expression: “Comrade, please help us! My instruments can’t detect you, but I know your position through the military system. Your strength must be greater than ours. With your help and ours, we might defeat this beast Immortal. Please assist us—we two Immortal Monarchs are nearly overwhelmed. Our weaker Cosmic, Domain, and Monarchs will collapse and scatter. The Monarchs might have a chance to escape, but the Cosmic and Domain Lords will likely perish. As fellow humans, please help us!”
“Hmph,” Luo Feng nodded.
He cut the transmission.
“That Nuolan Shan is truly cunning,” Luo Feng glanced at the battle projection. “At third-stage Monarch, he’s no match for those peak Monarchs, yet he’s letting others protect him. Seems like he’s quite popular.”
“If this continues, he might escape while many of the Cosmic and Domain Lords die,” Luo Feng shook his head.
His black armor rapidly extended, forming a black helmet. His boots merged with the armor, and beneath his feet appeared a strange stone disc about three meters long and half a meter wide—Luo Fei Disc. In one hand, he held a magnificent golden shield nearly two meters tall, its edge carved with beast god patterns.
“The Golden-Horned Giant Beast doesn’t need a Beast God Weapon. These weapons are meant for my Earth human form,” Luo Feng thought.
The Luo Fei Disc and Beast God Weapon were now standard equipment for Luo Feng’s future battles.
Boom!
The chamber door had already opened. Luo Feng quickly shot out and dove downward.
…
Above a vast mountain range, the human and beast forces were locked in fierce battle. The cliffs still bore ancient carvings left by the original inhabitants of the Yanji Continent. Though these carvings still held some strange energy, they were now severely damaged after countless eons.
“Second Brother, I can’t hold on much longer,” Nuolan Shan anxiously called. “We’re about to break. Prepare to retreat.”
“Brother Five, you go first.”
“Brother Five, you’re only a third-stage Monarch. Against peak Monarchs, you’ll die for sure. Many of the Cosmic and Domain Lords are already breaking ranks. You must escape. We’ll buy you time.”
“Second Brother, you—”
Nuolan Shan was anxious.
“Go!”
“We won’t die.”
Amid the chaos, Nuolan Shan appeared pained but silently thought, “This is the 63rd time I’ve fled on the battlefield beyond the stars. Indeed, life-and-death battles forge unbreakable bonds. Without these brothers, I wouldn’t have survived. Pity, a thousand years of emotions may be wasted.”
Just as Nuolan Shan prepared to flee—
A terrifying presence suddenly descended from the sky.
“Roar~~~”
A cry echoed across the heavens.
A magnificent, enormous bird phantom dove from the sky, shocking both sides.
