Yan Ji Continent Main Continent

The Yan Ji Continent Main Continent has a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years. The combined strength of all the powerhouses on the thousands of islands surrounding it doesn't even amount to a fraction of those on the Main Continent.

Above the vast desert of the Main Continent, a black flying saucer was traveling at sub-light speed.

“Luo Feng, there’s an alien team 960 million kilometers away, consisting of three Immortal Gods and over 10,000 soldiers. I'm monitoring their conversations. Based on the discussions among those tens of thousands of alien soldiers, one of their three Immortal Gods is a Marquis, and their strength is exceptionally high.”

A moment later—

“Luo Feng, an alien team is stationed underground in the desert 980 million kilometers away. It has two Immortal Gods and 23 alien Sector Lords. Those alien Sector Lords are conversing; based on the monitoring, they seem to have just fought and suffered significant losses. There's also a Marquis Immortal among their team.”

A moment later—

“...The team leader is a Marquis Immortal God.”

“...The team leader is a Marquis Immortal God.”

...

...

Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the spaceship's control room, leisurely sipping fruit wine, while Babata's reminders echoed in his mind.

“Alright, Babata, you don't need to be so detailed,” Luo Feng said, setting down his wine glass. “I can guess even without your monitoring... every single one of those teams definitely has a Marquis Immortal God!”

“As expected of my Babata's master, truly wise,” Babata chuckled.

The moment Luo Feng reached Domain Lord level, according to the most basic core program of an intelligent life form, it automatically recognized Luo Feng as its master. However, because it was already an intelligent life form... with its own emotions, it still mostly referred to Huyan Bo as master, and usually called Luo Feng by his name, rarely addressing him as master.

A name is just a designation.

As an intelligent life form, Babata naturally respected Luo Feng as its master.

This is the uniqueness of 'intelligent life forms.' For example, among the 'Mechanical Race,' one of the universe's peak races, every Mechanical Race member is an intelligent life form. They have strict internal hierarchy and authority, and a lower-status member would never challenge a higher-status one! It can be said that the Mechanical Race is one of the most unified races in the universe.

“Wise my ass.”

“It's been 36 days since we entered the Yan Ji Continent Main Continent, and we've detected over 800 teams. Whether alien or human, based on the scan results, not a single one lacks a 'Marquis Immortal God,'” Luo Feng shook his head. “It's clear that every team on the Yan Ji Continent Main Continent has a Marquis Immortal!”

“No wonder.”

“According to the information I've found, among Immortal Gods, Immortal Army Lords account for about two-thirds, Marquis Immortals for about one-third, and Kings are extremely rare.”

“With such a high proportion of Marquis Immortals, any team of three to five Immortal Gods is destined to have a 'Marquis.' Teams without a Marquis simply cannot survive on the Yan Ji Continent,” Luo Feng chuckled. “It's like when the Star-Devouring Sector Lord appeared on Fog Sand Island, forcing those Immortal Gods to immediately band together in groups of four, five, or six.”

It's the same principle.

The high proportion of Marquis Immortals means there are many teams with them, forcing other Immortal teams without a Marquis to immediately combine with allies, ensuring at least one Marquis in their ranks! This increases their chances of survival; otherwise, they would simply be slaughtered by teams possessing a Marquis. No powerhouse enjoys being slaughtered.

A Marquis!

They possess immortal bodies. Marquis-level beings rarely perish when fighting each other, unless one Marquis has extremely high attainments in 'soul attacks'.

...

“It seems Kings are truly rare. We've been flying across the Yan Ji Continent Main Continent for 36 days and haven't found a single team with a King,” Luo Feng shook his head.

“That's normal. Flying straight across the Yan Ji Continent takes about two years. If you wanted to search the entire Yan Ji Continent, flying back and forth repeatedly, even if those Kings remained stationary, constantly searching for ten thousand years wouldn't cover the entire continent. If it can't be searched in ten thousand years, it would be strange for you to encounter a King Immortal after only 36 days.”

“Even if you did encounter a King Immortal, their detector might be more advanced than yours, shielding them from your scans, so we wouldn't even detect them!”

Luo Feng shook his head.

“Babata,” Luo Feng commanded.

“Activate all functions of Detector No. 2, maintain normal operation of Detector No. 1, and disable Detector No. 1's shielding function, keeping only its inherent self-protection,” Luo Feng mentally ordered.

“Understood.”

Babata immediately complied.

Detector No. 1 was something Luo Feng exchanged for with a massive amount of points in Chaos City; it was definitely standard equipment for a King Immortal.

Detector No. 2 was a detector Luo Feng found among Fen Ya's spoils after his Golden Horned Beast clone killed the alien Marquis Immortal Fen Ya. If bought with money, that detector would likely cost hundreds of thousands of mixed-element units, making it a very good detector.

Now, Detector No. 1's shielding function was off.

Therefore—

As long as an alien Immortal team's detector was slightly more advanced than 'Detector No. 2,' they would be able to discover Luo Feng's spaceship. On the Yan Ji Continent, finding something more advanced than Detector No. 1 was difficult, but finding something more advanced than Detector No. 2 was much easier.

“Luo Feng, you're truly cunning.”

“Not cunning, just bored. I need to do some fishing and attract some fish to take my 'bait'.”

...

310 million kilometers away from Luo Feng's spaceship, a dark green biological spaceship was flying.

Inside the spaceship's control room.

“Damned humans, to actually possess immortal plant life! If not for that plant life entanglement, I would have killed them long ago,” roared the man with a wolf's head, scaled body. “Humans are truly too wealthy; even Marquis Immortal humans often possess immortal plant life.”

“Humans are wealthy,” the alien Immortal with butterfly-like wings and bulging compound eyes on its forehead said in a low voice, sitting at the dining table.

If it were Luo Feng, he would instantly recognize them.

This was an alien race—the 'Weiyi Race,' a powerful race, not a vassal of the Monster Race.

In fact, on the Outer Territory Battlefield, not all the numerous alien races apart from the four peak races were vassal races. Some were powerful races that, for the sake of experience, specifically negotiated with peak races before arranging for their members to participate.

Furthermore!

Besides the four peak races, there were also beings from other peak races participating in the war.

After all—

The Monster Race, Mechanical Race, Human Race, and Insectoid Race were merely four of the universe's six peak races. They frequently warred only because their territories were adjacent and their conflicts intense. The other two peak races in the universe... were located in extremely remote parts of the cosmos, so large-scale wars naturally didn't occur between them.

Otherwise, the teleportation costs alone would be terrifying. However, some members from those two peak races were still willing to participate in the war.

Like the Ka Wu Tribe... although they belonged to the Insectoid side.

In reality, the Ka Wu Tribe was a vassal race of one of those two peak races from the remote regions.

“Humans are very advanced in all aspects, including machinery and biology,” another male Weiyi Race Immortal said enviously. “Combined with the universe's unique 'Virtual Universe Network,' they consolidate the entire Human Race's power, achieving the most efficient use of resources. This is something other races cannot compare to.”

“Hmph!”

“Humans inherently have poor physical constitutions, generally inferior to our Monster Race. They rely on various external means to compete with us,” the wolf-headed, scaled man snorted. “Unfortunately, that group of Starry Sky Behemoths is too proud and doesn't consider themselves part of our Monster Race. Those proud Starry Sky Behemoths don't even consider that with their high intelligence, high talent, and status as behemoths... they should naturally be considered part of our Monster Race, especially the twelve peak bloodlines, which are even nobler than our royal bloodlines. What a pity...”

“That group of Starry Sky Behemoths possesses immense power but no territory, which is peculiar,” the Weiyi Race woman said.

“Though they have no fixed territory, the entire universe is their territory,” the wolf-headed, scaled man said. “Starry Sky Behemoths are scattered across various regions of the universe; many peak Sector Lord Starry Sky Behemoths might never encounter another in their lifetime. Only by becoming Immortal, possessing eternal life, can one access the core of the Starry Sky Behemoths.”

“The Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance! That's one of the super alliances in the universe.”

“If this alliance were willing to integrate into our Monster Race, our Monster Race would immediately become the universe's foremost peak race,” the wolf-headed, scaled man lamented.

The Monster Race and Starry Sky Behemoths indeed had many entanglements.

In fact, overall, Starry Sky Behemoths were truly equivalent to 'enhanced' Monster Race members! It's no wonder the Monster Race always wanted to integrate the Starry Sky Behemoths into their own race.

...

Just as these three alien Immortals were discussing humans, the Monster Race, and Starry Sky Behemoths—

“Huh?” The wolf-headed, scaled man lowered his head to look at the screen on his armguard.

The two Weiyi Race Immortals looked at him.

“Captain?” Both Weiyi Race members were puzzled.

“I've detected a spaceship, human,” the wolf-headed, scaled man said in a low voice.

“What's so puzzling about detecting a human spaceship?” the Weiyi Race woman chuckled. “It seems the Captain has been provoked by humans.”

“No... the human in this spaceship is a Sector Lord!” the wolf-headed, scaled man said solemnly.

“A Sector Lord?”

“How is that possible?”

The two Weiyi Race Immortals exclaimed in shock. On the Yan Ji Continent Main Continent, powerhouses were as numerous as clouds; it could be said that every team had a Marquis Immortal, or at least special means comparable to one! Yet now, a human Sector Lord had appeared on the Yan Ji Continent Main Continent.

“A human Sector Lord dares to come to the Yan Ji Continent?”

“Is he looking for death?” Both Weiyi Race Immortals found it hard to believe.

“I just thought of someone,” the wolf-headed, scaled man suddenly said. “Do you remember the Star-Devouring Sector Lord of Fog Sand Island we once mentioned?”

“The Star-Devouring Sector Lord of Fog Sand Island?” The two Weiyi Race Immortals' massive single eyes lit up.

“I heard that Star-Devouring Sector Lord possesses Marquis Immortal combat power and has an immortal Hundred Vine Star-Devouring Grass,” the wolf-headed, scaled man sneered. “This human Sector Lord... is very likely the Star-Devouring Sector Lord. He probably felt invincible on Fog Sand Island and decided to venture into the Main Continent. Hmph, truly courting death! The Main Continent is not Fog Sand Island! Kill him... any objections?”

“Of course not,” the two Weiyi Race Immortals chuckled.

“Approach him,” the wolf-headed, scaled man ordered.

Whoosh!

The biological spaceship rapidly approached Luo Feng's vessel.
