Chapter 250 The First Battle on the Flame Sacrifice Continent
The Seventh Battlefield is a cosmic secret realm with a diameter of approximately 110 million light-years.
Through the star map, one can see that the entire battlefield environment is extremely complex, with tens of thousands of star fragments, mainly the area where a large number of realm lords and a small number of immortals are fighting.
If Chen Yuan had no military merits and was assigned to a unit according to the military system, he would most likely have to start adapting to the battlefield from the Shattered Star Zone.
But now the situation is different; as a free man, he can go wherever he wants.
"With my strength, it would be a waste of time to hang around in the Shattered Star Zone. Even the branch continents of the Yiji Continent are far from enough. Only the main continent is somewhat interesting."
In fact, even the main continent of Yanji Continent was not much of a challenge for Chen Yuan. After all, there were usually only Marquis and Immortals in this place, and although there were Kings, their numbers were extremely small.
With Chen Yuan's strength, he was fully qualified to go to the highest-level combat area of the Seventh Battlefield—such as the Star Tower, where King-level experts gathered, and even some at the limit of King-level or invincible powerhouses. However—
"My purpose in coming to the extraterritorial battlefield is to accumulate military merits and primal energy. Go to the Star Tower? I can't kill any of the powerful figures there."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "The Yanji Continent is more suitable for me. At least I can easily deal with the alien powerhouses here."
For him, there is never too much primordial energy, since each optimization, starting from the Supreme Treasure, requires at least 2 million energy.
Moreover, once you reach the level of a Supreme Treasure, the system can no longer optimize across levels; it can only upgrade by one level at a time!
For example, the Shiyuan Hall is currently at level 9, level 1. Even with further optimization, it can only be upgraded to level 9, level 2. Similarly, it would require eight more optimizations to upgrade to level 9.
What's more troublesome is that as the item level increases, the amount of primal energy collected by the system also rises accordingly.
Chen Yuan roughly estimated that at least 10 billion energy points would be needed to optimize a level 9 peak treasure!
With such a huge expenditure, his previous energy reserves could only supply the optimization of one treasure. It was far from enough to optimize all his equipment to its peak.
Therefore, we must kill more powerful alien beings to obtain more energy reserves.
After several days of sailing, Chen Yuan finally left War Base 026 and was very close to the Yanji Continent.
"Master, the spaceship has left the Dark Universe and is approaching the Yanji Continent region."
Inside the control room, Chen Yuan looked at the coordinates on the star map and asked疑惑地问道, "It's still several billion kilometers away from the main continent, why not continue the Dark Universe traversal?"
"Because there are no corresponding dark universe coordinates, Master."
Ireil explained, "We're already close to the battlefield of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, and the star map doesn't mark the coordinates of the deeper dark universe."
"From here on, we have entered the combat zone, and we may encounter alien enemies at any time."
"I see." Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the star map. "Our current location is 036."
"Above Island No. 1?"
"Yes."
Ireil said, "Island 036 has a diameter of about 3000 billion kilometers. It is considered a relatively outer area of the Yanji Continent, and there are not many powerful individuals living here."
"According to the detector scan, within a radius of 100 billion kilometers, there are 23 Immortal-level alien squads, 2700 Realm Lords, 31 Military Lord Immortals, and 3 Marquis Immortals. Are you interested in hunting them down, Master?"
"100 billion kilometers? Forget it."
Chen Yuan glanced at the detector's screen and shook his head slightly: "These teams are all moving at near-light speed. They won't just stand there waiting for me. Chasing after them one by one and killing them would waste at least ten days, which is not worth it."
"According to the star chart, our flight path will traverse these islands. After leaving Island 036, we only need to cross Islands 017 and 09 to reach the main continent, a total distance of approximately 1.3 trillion kilometers."
Thousands of islands float around the main continent of Yiji, resembling a planetary ring.
The route of the Shiyuan Palace is equivalent to cutting straight from the outer edge of the planetary rings into the core, so it does not pass through many islands.
In addition, although these islands can reach hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter, their width is limited. Therefore, the total distance to travel across the three islands is only 1.3 trillion kilometers—this still takes into account the void distance between the islands.
"Following this route, if the spaceship travels at sub-light speed, it should reach the main continent in about fifty days," Chen Yuan said calmly. "There's no need to waste time on these islands."
He paused briefly, then added, "Of course, if you encounter a situation where humans are being hunted down by alien races, remember to notify me."
"Understood," Irele replied. "The Primordial Palace is traveling towards its target at a sub-light speed of 29 kilometers per second and is expected to arrive in the main continent region in 52 days."
Given the caliber of the Primordial Palace, functions like detection and shielding are already standard features, representing the pinnacle of human technology.
It can be said that on the battlefield outside the domain, only Chen Yuan could spot others, while no one else could even dream of finding the shadow of the Shiyuan Palace.
Therefore, the journey to the main continent was smooth sailing, and Chen Yuan took advantage of this time to continue cultivating his secret techniques.
During the two and a half years he spent traveling from the Primal Secret Realm to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, he had already mastered the second move of the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual," "Reverse Dragon Strike," to the fourth level of perfection. Now he is cultivating the third move, the secret technique "Soaring Dragon Escape."
Once the Dragon Escape Technique reaches the fourth level of perfection, he will be able to pass through the Lord-level Tongtian Mountain smoothly, and in terms of secret techniques, he will be comparable to the King-level Invincible.
As for the final ultimate move, Dragon Suppression Soul, to be honest, Chen Yuan has no shortage of soul defense methods.
Leaving aside the powerful mental strength brought by the Fetal Breathing Technique, the defense of the "Heavenly Light Battle Armor" alone can weaken the invincible soul attack of the King by 99%, and the remaining power cannot shake his soul at all.
Therefore, as long as he cultivates the three ultimate moves of the Wind Riding Secret Manual to the fourth level of perfection, his secret techniques will be basically equivalent to those of an invincible king-level expert. The only thing he lacks is basic strength.
If Chen Yuan can raise his basic strength to 30 times that of a World Lord, then he will be a truly invincible powerhouse who has been crowned a King.
Time flew by as Chen Yuan focused on his cultivation, and the Shiyuan Palace successfully traversed Island 036 and Island 017.
Island No. 09 is currently traveling at high speed over Island No. 09.
However, after 41 days of sailing at the Shiyuan Palace, Ireil received a message: "Master, a peak-level alien military lord has been spotted 1.2 million kilometers ahead. They are pursuing a human immortal. Should we provide support?"
"A human being hunted down? Check the surveillance footage." Chen Yuan, who was practicing "Dragon Escape," paused for a moment, then instantly appeared in the control room and gave the order.
As the probe images unfolded, he also saw the appearance of the alien race.
"It's actually a time-space monster?"
Chen Yuan glanced at them. As one of the eighteen royal families of the demon race, the Time-Space Beast Clan was renowned throughout the universe, so he naturally recognized them at a glance.
"This is Island 09, right? Is this the time-space monster from the original story?"
Normally, once a member of the Time-Space Beast race breaks through to Immortality, they can be directly granted the title of Marquis. However, this one has only reached the peak of the Military Lord level, which is a disgrace to the race.
Island No. 09 and the military-level spacetime beast naturally reminded Chen Yuan of the one that appeared in the original work.
However, the human immortal being chased by this time-space monster was a woman, not Shu Fan or Bo Yezhu from the original story.
"That's true. I arrived more than three thousand years earlier than Luo Feng, so naturally I won't encounter the scenes from the original story."
Chen Yuan glanced at the battle situation. "Hmm, Nuolanshan isn't in there either, and that human immortal is only one person."
"I'm afraid we can't stop this time-space beast."
Thinking of this, he ordered, "Let's move towards them. Since our own kind is in trouble, we cannot stand idly by."
"Yes, Master!"
As the Shiyuan Palace changed direction and flew rapidly toward the battlefield, just as Chen Yuan entered the battlefield a hundred million kilometers away, the female immortal being pursued suddenly showed a look of wild joy.
"We're saved!" the immortal woman suddenly transmitted to her demon warrior. "Everyone, follow me this way! A powerful member of our race is coming to our rescue!"
The direction she pointed was naturally Chen Yuan's location.
Although the shielding capabilities of the Shiyuan Palace made it impossible for her to detect the other party's presence, as Chen Yuan entered a range of 100 million kilometers, the military system alerted her that friendly forces were approaching. Naturally, this female immortal guessed that reinforcements had arrived.
And indeed, just as she had thought, because both sides were approaching at near-light speed, Chen Yuan arrived in the airspace above the other side in just 3 minutes.
As the Shiyuan Palace was de-shielded, Chen Yuan's figure left the spaceship and flew rapidly towards the spacetime monster below.
"Warning! Warning! A powerful alien king-level expert is approaching!"
The instant Chen Yuan appeared, the spacetime monster's AI issued a warning, startling it: "An alien race crowned king?!"
It quickly looked at the distance displayed by the detector and saw that the other party was rapidly approaching, and the distance was less than 300 million kilometers!
Even more terrifying is that in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was reduced to only 100 million kilometers!
"It's over!" The spacetime monster felt a chill in its heart. Such an astonishing speed meant that this king-level expert had used time acceleration or space folding to break the speed of light in the primordial universe.
Sure enough, in the next instant, it sensed a powerful aura approaching within a range of several thousand kilometers.
For immortal beings, this distance is almost the same as being face to face.
"Sir, have mercy!"
The time-space demon beast was terrified and hurriedly transmitted its voice to the figure of the king: "I am a member of the demon royal family. If you capture me alive, I can exchange me for huge benefits from the demon race."
"If you kill me, not only will you gain nothing, but your clan will also put a bounty on your head. It will be a losing proposition!"
However, after transmitting its voice, it discovered to its despair that the other party did not hesitate at all, and in the short time it had transmitted its voice, a pale blue sword light had already reached it.
"Spare me! Spare Yi Yi!"
Before the words were even finished, the body of this time-space demon beast turned to dust under the sword light. Since it was only an immortal military lord and not immortal, it was naturally beyond dead.
