Chapter 162: Slaying the Monster Clan King
There are eleven battlefields in total for the war between the human race and other races. Luo Yuan and his ten thousand comrades were assigned to the Seventh Battlefield, a terrifying combat zone with a casualty rate of ninety-six percent. Its danger coefficient ranks third among the eleven battlefields, where World Lords and soldiers of lower ranks are given priority for deployment. It is also a primary hunting ground for lone rangers who are confident in their own strength.
As for the battlefields ranked first and second in terms of danger, generally only Immortal-level lone rangers dare to venture into them to reap massive military merits. However, being assigned to the Seventh Battlefield suited Luo Yuan's wishes perfectly.
Luo Yuan and the other ten thousand people arrived at the battlefield transmission hall, where eleven spatial water curtains led separately to the eleven battlefields. They filed one by one through the spatial water curtain marked with "7", first arriving at the God Kingdom transit station, then entering the spatial tunnel, and finally being distributed to Military Camp Base No. 029.
When Luo Yuan stepped across the spatial water curtain, he felt a spatial distortion and arrived at the God Kingdom transit station. There were a large number of both new recruits and veterans here. Categorized by their realms, Luo Yuan walked through the World Lord passage into the World Lord-level camp, where he saw hundreds of thousands of World Lord-level soldiers, each exuding a monstrous, bloodthirsty aura.
As a World Lord general, Luo Yuan received invitations to join many powerful battle teams, but he rejected them all; he had no intention of acting as a bodyguard for these people.
Wars among cosmic races are generally not fought by two opposing forces lining up in formal formations to battle. Instead, they select a battlefield, deploy soldiers, and then engage in mutual slaughter. Various combat groups are separated by vast distances, so operations are usually conducted in small squad units. Large-scale decisive battles between the two sides only occur roughly once every thousand epochs.
Since Luo Yuan was operating alone, his movements were relatively free—a privilege granted to him by the City Lord of Chaos. After all, the one billion military merits required by the military department was far too easy for him to acquire. Therefore, he directly boarded his own F-class Moxin Star spacecraft and headed toward the spatial tunnel. After flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers, he finally reached Military Camp Base No. 029, a super-large celestial body suspended in the void. All the facilities here were made of special materials, and even强者 at the Universe Country Lord level could not cause damage to it.
Walking through Military Camp Base No. 029, Luo Yuan saw that it was completely a hyper-modern military steel fortress. The outer layer was covered and protected by a colorful energy shield, while the interior was packed with ferocious-looking weapons of war. Star-destroyer cannons were merely basic configurations, and a single blast from the oversized energy cannons could obliterate an entire stellar region.
Corpses and severed limbs of other races floated in outer space, with mechanical equipment salvaging and processing the space debris.
After reporting at the military camp base, Luo Yuan boarded his spacecraft alone and began his expedition. Standing inside the vessel, he activated the hundred-percent virtual simulation, opened the star map, and looked at the locations marked with brutal combat. He directly selected an Immortal-level battle site.
The spacecraft's intelligent assistant, Xiaoba, actively searched for a cosmic shuttle point, activated the speed of light to enter the dark universe, and performed spacetime travel. Luo Yuan's clone lay dormant on the sofa inside the spacecraft, while his true body collected law affinities among the fifty-two Chaos Monuments in Chaos City.
A few days later.
"Beep, beep! Target location reached!"
Following the prompt from the smart assistant, Luo Yuan's clone suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. The golden divine armor of the Yan God Race immediately materialized on his body, and a God-Defying Weapon appeared behind him. With a direct teleportation, he appeared outside the spacecraft in the void, stowed the vessel away, and looked down at a desolate planetary fragment below, which was nevertheless tens of thousands of times the size of Earth.
Luo Yuan directly unleashed his vast spiritual power, sweeping unceremoniously across the planetary fragment below. One by one, alien beings hidden deep within the fragments were exposed by him: two封王 (King-level) Immortals, six封侯 (侯-level/Marquis-level) Immortals, and over a thousand World Lords, all belonging to the same race—with the heads of flood dragons and bodies resembling lizards. Clearly, they were from the Zerg alliance, likely Dragon-Lizards.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Eight massive figures suddenly burst out from the ground, each thousands of feet in length. Their ferocious dragon heads faced Luo Yuan in the sky, their blood-red reptilian pupils filled with bloodthirsty cruelty. Then, over a thousand World Lord cannon fodder crawled out from a cavern.
"Hmph, the spiritual power you emitted just now was so strong it gave me a start, but you're just a human brat at the World Lord level! You dare to come to my territory, the Azure Dragon King? The last human Immortal I caught wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Little ones, take him down! He is your lunch today!" shouted a Dragon-Lizard with golden skin below to his crowd of World Lord-level subordinates. Curiously, they actually spoke in the common language of the universe, clearly meant for Luo Yuan to hear.
Upon receiving the order, the World Lord cannon fodder immediately dispatched five peak World Lord-level Dragon-Lizards to slaughter Luo Yuan. Standing in mid-air, Luo Yuan merely let out a cold snort, and the heads of those five Dragon-Lizards instantly exploded, their corpses plummeting downward. This scene stunned the Azure Dragon King and the other Dragon-Lizards who were preparing to return to their lair.
Luo Yuan stood in the void and sneered, "You Zerg scum have collectively slaughtered one hundred and six thousand, eight hundred and thirty-two of my human race, among whom as many as three thousand are Immortals. I sentence you to death!"
Luo Yuan directly activated the military merit system connected to the virtual universe to record the battle process, which would serve as proof for issuing military merits.
The Azure Dragon King and the others below burst into laughter. A Marquis-level Immortal Dragon-Lizard directly manipulated divine power to form a giant hand covering the sky, grabbing toward Luo Yuan in the air. Luo Yuan merely raised his hand and fired a streak of sword Qi, shattering the giant hand into pieces. Then, countless small golden swords immediately flew out from the God-Defying Weapon behind him.
The small golden swords instantly combined in the sky into thousands of giant swords. Luo Yuan pointed downward, and those thousand World Lord-level cannon fodder were directly nailed to the ground. The invisible sword Qi thoroughly destroyed their internal worlds and seas of consciousness.
Having cleared out the cannon fodder, Luo Yuan gazed coldly at the eight Immortal-level Dragon-Lizards below. With a thought, the countless small golden swords of the God-Defying Weapon immediately assembled into a towering giant pillar. One end of the pillar was only as thick as an adult's arm and was gripped and swung by Luo Yuan, while the other end was as massive as a star. The star-sized end then violently smashed down toward the planetary fragment below.
"Boom!"
It was like a meteorite striking the Earth. An invisible ripple spread in all directions, causing the irradiated meteors and planetary fragments to shatter one after another. The planetary fragment housing the eight Immortal-level Dragon-Lizards was smashed directly into dust, and their divine bodies were blasted into pieces. However, Luo Yuan knew that Immortal-level divine spirits were not so easily killed.
"Spatial lockdown! Spatial绞杀 (annihilation)!"
With a grip of Luo Yuan's hand, the region where the fragments of the eight Immortal-level divine bodies lay was directly sealed off by an invisible force. Everything inside became completely motionless; even if those Immortals wanted to transmit their divine body fragments through their God Kingdoms, they could not do so. Then, a wave of spatial turbulence emerged, shredding everything within the sealed space into nothingness. All life imprints of the eight Immortal-level Dragon-Lizards completely dissipated.
Looking at the planetary fragment below that no longer existed, Luo Yuan muttered, "They're finally dead. A King-level Immortal divine spirit is still quite difficult to kill. If my true body were here, a single punch would have solved it."
