Lu Ming asked.
After gathering her thoughts, Yueji replied, "Immortal gods are divided into three levels: Immortal Military Lords, Marquises, and Kings. Among them, the 'Immortal Military Lords,' who do not possess immortality, are the easiest to kill."
"Killing a low-level Immortal Army Lord grants 1 million military merits."
"Killing an Immortal Army Lord (High-Rank) grants 10 billion military merits."
"The ranks of Marquis and King are each divided into three levels, with military merits increasing exponentially with each level."
Lu Ming nodded after listening, gaining a clearer understanding of the military merit system in the extraterritorial battlefield.
He didn't value military merits very much and hadn't learned much about them beforehand.
"Everyone."
Lu Ming stood up.
"We shall part ways here. In the future, after we leave the battlefields beyond our borders, we shall meet again and share a drink with you all."
"Take care of yourself!"
Yueji said solemnly.
Beware of the various strange and unpredictable methods employed by alien races!
"The Beast King shouted."
"Don't forget us!"
Feng Ling said softly.
Lu Ming bid farewell to his teammates, with whom he had only spent a short time, and then flew out of the spaceship's hatch.
"Whoosh!"
A streamlined "meteor shuttle" with the distinctive luster of G-grade metal appeared in the starry sky.
Lu Ming boarded his spaceship and flew in different directions from the purple spaceship of the Moon Princess team, quickly disappearing into the vast sea of stars.
After leaving the Moon Princess Squad, Lu Ming piloted the "Meteor Shuttle" through the starry sky, while instructing the intelligent life form Qing Yuan to retrieve a detailed star map of the Ninth Battlefield.
Lu Ming had specific requirements for the upcoming battle area.
First, there shouldn't be too many top-tier experts around; it's best if there are no King-level Immortals, and even Marquis-level Immortals are rare.
Although he has many trump cards up his sleeve, he doesn't want to provoke those troublesome characters too early.
What he needs now is experience; if he lets Xiao Lei do everything, then it's meaningless.
Secondly, the level of risk should be moderate.
Those mysterious cosmic realms filled with unknown dangers, even after a long period of warfare, may still hide perilous places that could threaten the title of Marquis or even King. Lu Ming will not consider such places for the time being.
With the Sacrifice Return System as his guiding principle, he could steadily improve his strength without taking unnecessary risks.
The star map of the entire Ninth Battlefield is extremely complex, marked with countless special zones, all of which are areas where powerful individuals fight and vie for power.
Lu Ming checked them one by one at a leisurely pace.
"The Black Annihilation River? A large number of marquises are gathered there, and there are even signs of kings? Too dangerous, I won't go."
"The Shattered Star Sea? It's mainly for World Lords and Domain Lords to hone their skills here, and even Immortals are rare? That won't do either. My goal is to hunt Immortals to obtain resources. It's not interesting if there are too few Immortals."
Looking at each location one by one, Lu Ming ruled out most of them.
The areas where kings roam are too dangerous, while areas dominated by realm lords and domain lords are too inefficient.
At the same time, he would not consider it if it was too far from the 038th barracks base, or even if it was within the radiation range of other bases.
Just like choosing a place to live, you always need to find a suitable and convenient place.
"Hmm? The Meteorite Belt!"
Lu Ming's gaze fell on a combat zone on the star map that wasn't too far from the 038th military base. This was a mid-to-high-level danger zone suitable for immortal gods to fight each other.
"Enlarge the detailed information."
Lu Ming gave the order.
"Yes, Master."
The points of light representing the "Ancient Meteorite Belt" on the star map rapidly magnified, revealing detailed information about this vast star field.
The star map showed a vast, shattered starry sky, densely packed with countless star debris, accompanied by a dense text description.
"The Meteorite Star Belt: A mid-to-high-level combat zone within the control area of the 038th Barracks Base of the Ninth Battlefield. Humans and alien powerhouses who dare to enter this place are usually led by World Lord War Generals in elite squads, while the army is commanded by Immortal Gods."
"The Lone Wanderers are mainly immortal gods, and their numbers are numerous, with occasional appearances of immortals who have been granted titles."
"In this area, without immortal combat power, the probability of survival is extremely low."
A wealth of information about ancient star belts was presented, and Lu Ming became more and more satisfied as he read it.
Chapter 35 Burning Universe and Rifting Sky Slash
This star field was originally a prosperous star system, but in the endless wars between races, all the stars were shattered, leaving only a vast battlefield with a diameter of about eight light-years, densely covered with countless star fragments.
"This place is just right."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
There are no kings or immortals here, only a few marquises. You will not encounter any fatal dangers here, so you can hunt immortal gods with peace of mind, accumulate military merits and resources, and hone your skills at the same time.
"This is the place we've chosen. Let's go right now!"
Lu Ming made a decision.
"Buzz!"
The streamlined "meteor shuttle" drew a beautiful arc across the starry sky.
"Accelerate, enter the dark universe!"
Lu Ming gave the instructions.
"Yes, Master!"
The next second, the "Meteor Shuttle" began to accelerate, instantly reaching the speed of light, and disappeared directly into the original universe, entering the dark universe.
Qingyuan quickly calculated the travel time: "Master, we have entered the dark universe and are expected to arrive at the Meteorite Star Belt in five days."
Five days.
Lu Ming nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
At the same time, he began to silently assess his current level of strength.
In terms of understanding the laws, he had already gained the recognition of the Law of the Origin of Flame, and his understanding of the Law of Space was also extremely profound. In terms of understanding the laws alone, he had already reached the level of immortality.
More importantly, he possesses a life gene level a hundred times higher, making his basic strength far surpass that of ordinary realm lords.
In terms of equipment, he has the Flame Blade and Dark Star Armor, which have been enhanced through sacrifice, as well as the G-grade "Meteor Shuttle" and the "Sky Patrol Eye" with an amazing detection range.
As for trump cards, Xiao Lei, who possesses peak King-level combat power, is his greatest asset, and the ten Fire God Source Crystals with peak King-level power are also a formidable weapon.
"Overall, my regular combat strength should be roughly comparable to the initial level of the Marquis rank. When using the Lesser Thunder, it is enough to suppress or even kill the advanced level of the King rank, and it is comparable to the limit of the King rank. With the help of the Fire God Source Crystal, even the limit of the King rank would have to give way."
However, Lu Ming knew very well that he could not rely too much on external things in the extraterritorial battlefield.
His next focus in his cultivation will be to further deepen the integration of the two major laws of fire and space.
On the one hand, we need to perfect "Nine Blades of the Abyss"; on the other hand, we need to find an opportunity to try to break through to immortality.
"Five days is just enough time to calmly contemplate and reflect."
Lu Ming calmed his mind and began to immerse himself in comprehending the laws.
Lu Ming, immersed in his understanding of the laws, was not entirely at peace.
He recalled his previous battle with the Immortal Rock Wolf. Although he had successfully killed him with the ninth strike of the Nine Blades of the Ember Universe, he could sense that this sword technique seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
While the power of the ninth strike was indeed formidable, it relied more on his own foundational strength at a hundred times the genetic level and his profound understanding of the laws to forcefully propel it forward. The subtlety and potential of the sword technique itself seemed to have been exhausted.
"The Nine Blades of the Ember Universe is ultimately just a top-tier secret technique below the Immortal level, and it's definitely not enough for me now."
Lu Ming pondered to himself.
"To better hone myself on the battlefield beyond the realm, to deal with stronger immortals, and even to be ennobled, I need more powerful secret techniques."
His current understanding of the laws is extremely high, and his genetic level has reached a hundred times higher. His basic conditions are excellent, but what he lacks is a powerful combat technique that can perfectly bring out these advantages.
With a thought, Lu Ming's consciousness sank into his body and looked at the system panel.
"system,"
Lu Ming silently recited in his heart.
"I offer up my secret technique—the Nine Blades of the Ember Universe!"
The moment the command was given, Lu Ming felt as if all his insights, cultivation memories, and sword techniques about the "Nine Absolute Blades of the Ember Universe" in his mind were being stripped away and extracted by an invisible force, turning into invisible streams of light that surged into the mysterious vortex deep within the system.
[Ding! Sacrifice successful!]
[Returning funds at a random multiple based on the value of the offerings...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 9,600 times the normal amount!]
[Rewards being generated...]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the inheritance of the ultimate martial art, "Burning Universe Sky-Splitting Slash"!]
hum!
A torrent of information, far more vast, profound, and mysterious than the "Nine Absolute Blades of the Ember Universe," suddenly surged into the depths of Lu Ming's consciousness!
The information flow was so massive that if Lu Ming hadn't possessed a strong soul and resilient consciousness, he would probably have been overwhelmed and his consciousness would have become blurred in an instant.
He seemed to see a magnificent cosmic painting, with an endless sea of fire burning the sky. The blazing flames were no longer simple burning, but transformed into countless threads of fire containing the power to cut through space. Each thread seemed to be able to tear the void and scorch cracks in space!
The laws of fire and space are no longer simply working together, but have truly begun a fundamental fusion, giving rise to an even more terrifying and domineering destructive power!
"Burning Universe Sky-Splitting Slash" is a supreme martial art that directly targets the laws of fire and space fusion! Its lofty conception far surpasses "Nine Blades of the Burning Universe".
It is no longer just a secret technique at the immortal level, but a powerful inheritance that cultivators can use all the way up to the level of a cosmic venerable!
This set of ultimate skills is divided into nine levels.
