A spatial fragment tens of millions of kilometers in diameter is still incredibly vast and boundless; even an Immortal flying at full speed would take at least ten seconds to cross from one end to the other.
When this vast and boundless spatial fragment, traversing the Divine Kingdom layer at tens of thousands of kilometers per second, collides with someone, the impact power it contains is terrifying.
"No!"
Three alien Immortal individuals fleeing in front were grazed by that spatial fragment, which was over ten million kilometers in diameter. The moment they made contact, they only had time to let out a tragic cry before their divine bodies collapsed and they perished!
Terrifying!
Frightening!
Having arrived in the spatial interlayer a step late, Sarin was tens of thousands of kilometers behind the three alien Immortal individuals, which allowed him to stop in time and avoid the impact of that spatial fragment.
"What?! The impact of a spatial fragment tens of millions of kilometers in diameter actually possesses such terrifying power, it's probably no less than a full-power strike from a King-level Immortal."
However, witnessing the instantaneous death of his three companions, he felt a surge of fear. "No wonder they say the spatial interlayer is extremely dangerous. The Divine Kingdom layer is only relatively stable; once super-large spatial fragments move through it, their terrifying degree is no less than that of a King-level Immortal."
Whoosh!
Ender flew rapidly, and upon seeing three alien Immortal individuals killed by a super-large spatial fragment ahead while fleeing, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Haha, these four Mechanical Race Immortal are really interesting. With such bad luck, they still want to escape from the depths of the spatial interlayer. Three of them were already wiped out by spatial fragments before even leaving the Divine Kingdom layer."
Still flying, he thought to himself, "I just don't know how military merits are calculated. Will the military merits for the three alien Immortal who were killed by spatial fragments be counted towards me?"
Then, Ender saw Sarin, who was blocked by the super-large spatial fragment ahead, and transmitted his voice, "Mechanical Immortal, keep running!"
Upon receiving the voice transmission and seeing Ender and over thirty golden Cloud Vines pursuing him from behind, Sarin's electronic eyes flickered with red light, and he coldly snorted, "Cloud Vine Lord, don't get too carried away. It's not that simple to kill me."
Hum!
As his voice fell, a purple halo appeared around Sarin, then quickly spread in all directions. Within the purple halo, there was lightning and thunder, which was precisely the Thunder Law Domain!
"Then let's see."
Ender's eyes were icy cold as he stared at Sarin, who was surrounded by over ten Mechanical Puppets and enveloped in a purple halo, and attacked without slowing down.
Hum!
While flying, a green world projection appeared around Ender, covering hundreds of kilometers. The powerful world projection isolated the spreading purple halo and showed a tendency to suppress the Thunder Law Domain.
"Such a powerful world projection! But it's still a bit lacking if it wants to suppress my Law Domain!"
Seeing that his Law Domain's suppression was ineffective and even showed a tendency to be oppositesuppressed, Sarin quickly contracted his Thunder Law Domain to avoid being suppressed by Ender's world projection due to its large-scale deployment.
But what he didn't know was that Ender's internal world was over ten million kilometers in diameter. If his internal world were fully projected, the vast internal world projection could completely suppress his Law Domain.
"Die!"
Ender's eyes were filled with killing intent. The long spear 'Void Spear' in his hand swept out, engulfing the small spatial fragments within a thousand kilometers around him.
Top-tier Immortal Secret Technique, "Eternal Sky" First Form: "Wind Arises"!
Under the basic strength approaching the High Stage King-Level, the long spear swept across tens of thousands of kilometers, pulling countless spatial fragments along its path.
Even spatial fragments over a hundred kilometers in diameter were driven by the Space Law power contained within the long spear, all crashing towards Sarin, who was surrounded by over twenty Mechanical Puppets.
"Energy attack, gather!"
Under the precise calculations of Sarin, this Mechanical Immortal, over ten Mechanical Puppets, comparable to Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, simultaneously unleashed terrifying energy attacks.
Over ten energy beams converged into one. Although there was some loss during the fusion, the combined power far exceeded the individual attacks of the over ten Mechanical Puppets.
The next moment, the beam of energy, gathered from the attacks of over ten Mechanical Puppets, collided with the long spear 'Void Spear', which was sweeping countless spatial fragments towards it.
Boom!!
The moment the two collided, endless Law and energy fluctuations surged and spread. The small spatial fragments within millions of kilometers around were annihilated, and medium to small spatial fragments were also significantly affected.
Even the super-large spatial fragment, over ten million kilometers in diameter, trembled under this terrifying collision power, and its traversing speed decreased considerably.
Bang!!
Although it gathered the attacks of over ten Mechanical Puppets comparable to the Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, its actual power was still far from the King-level Immortal. Under the direct clash with 'Void Spear', Sarin and his Mechanical Puppets were sent flying.
"Damn it! How can this Cloud Vine Lord be so powerful!!"
Sarin, who was swept away, was filled with shock and anger. "Over ten Mechanical Puppets, comparable to Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, simultaneously launched energy attacks, and they all struck the opponent's weapon, but I still lost 7% of my divine body!"
Just then, over thirty golden Cloud Vines caught up, and multiple vines struck out in a combined blow.
Splat!!
Like a bouncing ball, Sarin and the over ten Mechanical Puppets were slapped by multiple golden vines towards Ender's direction.
"Not good!"
Being flung away, Sarin immediately felt a bad premonition and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
He saw Ender's forty-meter long spear already thrusting out, his figure attacking like lightning.
"Eternal Sky" Second Form, "Dark Cloud"!
In pursuit of a one-hit kill, Dark Clouds, driven by a basic strength approaching the King-level Immortal, allowed Ender's speed to reach over 200,000 kilometers per second.
The tip of 'Void Spear' contained terrifying Space Law power. Wherever the spear tip passed, spatial fragments were completely annihilated.
And around Ender, countless spatial fragments were pulled, as if forming a long river of spatial fragments, rushing towards Sarin, tens of thousands of kilometers away!
Boom!!
The 'Void Spear', shining with dark green light, first struck a Mechanical Puppet blocking in front.
Under the terrifying attack comparable to a King-level Immortal Low Grade, that Mechanical Puppet, made of ordinary G-grade alloy and comparable to a Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, suffered damage to its internal precision components.
Not only that, but Ender's 'Void Spear' was made of G-grade precious metal, which caused slight cracks to appear on the alloy armor of the Mechanical Puppet where it was struck.
Afterward, this Mechanical Puppet was violently sent flying backward, pushed by the long spear 'Void Spear', and collided with Sarin's divine body, which was composed of countless components.
Whoosh—!
The endless torrent of spatial fragments pulled by Ender continued to surge forward, engulfing Sarin and the over ten Mechanical Puppets.
Although there were Mechanical Puppets blocking in front, Sarin still endured a considerable impact of power, losing another 6% of his divine body.
"Bastard!!"
Sarin roared in his heart, feeling immense humiliation at being ravaged by the Cloud Vine Lord. When he first received news of the Cloud Vine Lord, he had come with the goal of obtaining a huge reward. For this, he had invested a lot of time and energy, and had even boasted before his master.
Yet now, he was being ravaged by the Cloud Vine Lord, whom he had regarded as his prey, without even a chance to fight back.
Due to extreme humiliation, Sarin roared in anger, "Damn it! Cloud Vine Lord! You are truly damnable!!"
"You're the one who's going to die, alien Immortal!"
Ender's voice was icy cold. With a flick of 'Void Spear' in his hand, he sent the Mechanical Puppet with damaged internal precision parts flying, then brought it down in a downward chop.
"Eternal Sky" First Form, "Wind Arises"!
Seeing this, Sarin quickly used the battle shield and battle blade in his hands to block. The Law secret patterns on the battle shield shone with dazzling light, clearly activated to their extreme.
With a single strike, the spatial fragment torrent, which had not completely dissipated, was directly shattered, and many small spatial fragments were annihilated.
The long spear 'Void Spear', shining with dazzling light, fiercely smashed towards Sarin, who had adopted a blocking posture. The spearhead, containing terrifying Space Law power, instantly struck the equally shining shield.
Boom!!
The moment the spearhead and shield collided, intense Space Law fluctuations appeared. Under this terrifying strike, comparable to a King-level Immortal Low Grade, Sarin's arm holding the shield snapped with a "crack" and was thrown away.
The spearhead of 'Void Spear', containing terrifying power, directly struck Sarin's divine body after its power had slightly weakened.
With a "clang," Sarin's Low Grade Tier 7 battle armor absorbed nearly half of the attack's power, and the remaining power completely acted upon him.
"No!!"
Sarin, sent flying, let out a desperate cry. This terrifying blow, even after two layers of reduction, still caused him to lose nearly 40% of his divine body (of which over 10% was lost due to his arm breaking).
After enduring this terrifying blow, his divine body was already below 50%, and his strength was less than one-tenth. In such a weakened state, he would surely face certain death if he took another blow from Ender!
"Cloud Vine Lord, you forced me!" Driven to a dead end, Sarin let out his final mad roar, "Let's die together!!"
After his mad roar, Sarin detonated his last remaining divine body and also commanded over ten Mechanical Puppets, comparable to Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, to initiate self-destruct procedures.
However, Ender had already anticipated Sarin's final madness. As world fluctuations appeared, a 1,600-kilometer tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree No. 2 branch appeared within the spatial interlayer.
Hum!
The moment the Gu Yu Ancient Tree appeared, an incomprehensible Law fluctuation manifested, and then a green light enveloped tens of thousands of kilometers around.
Innate Secret Technique — Gu Yu Cage!
The green light enveloped tens of thousands of kilometers around, making the surrounding space incredibly solid. Even a King-level Immortal who had comprehended 'Teleportation', one of the three great Space Law profundities, would find it very difficult to teleport or perform Divine Kingdom teleportation under the green light's shroud.
Boom!
Sarin's divine body self-destructed, unleashing a light even more dazzling than a star. The terrifying light and heat incinerated the tiny space around it and rapidly spread in all directions.
In an instant, the terrifying light and heat surged towards the 1,600-kilometer tall No. 2 branch. However, due to the suppression of the green light, the self-destruct power's spread weakened astonishingly.
When it reached the No. 2 branch, it barely burned a few kilometers of leaves and branches before the self-destruct power completely dissipated.
Beep—!
As for the Mechanical Puppets that had been given self-destruct orders, Ender quickly absorbed them into his internal world. With the World Energy isolating and suppressing them, the Mechanical Puppets' self-destruct procedures would be terminated.
When Sarin's self-destruct power dissipated, the 'Gu Yu Cage' cast by the No. 2 branch ceased. The green light enveloping tens of thousands of kilometers around dissipated, and the solid space returned to normal.
With the No. 2 branch blocking the self-destruct, Ender did not suffer any damage from the explosion. After putting away the slightly injured No. 2 branch, he shook his head slightly.
"The Gu Yu Ancient Tree truly lives up to its name as a special life form. Although an ordinary Gu Yu Ancient Tree's height limit is only a hundred kilometers, the innate secret technique 'Gu Yu Cage' is truly formidable."
Ender sighed softly, "Unfortunately, the complete version of 'Gu Yu Cage' consumes an astonishing amount. Covering tens of thousands of kilometers for just one second cost the No. 2 branch nearly 80% of its World Energy."
"It seems that if a branch wants to continuously use this innate secret technique for a long time, it will have to wait until it becomes an Immortal."
After sighing, Ender had the Cloud Vine collect the spoils of war, while he opened an email that had already been sent to his inbox and projected it in front of him.
The text content on the light screen was—
[Warrior Ender, you have completed your military merit quota and left the team. You now have two choices: one, continue fighting on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Two, retire and leave the Extraterritorial Battlefield.]
"After over a year of team life, I have finally completed the military System's 1 billion military merit quota."
Looking at the text on the light screen in front of him, Ender smiled slightly and thought, "Next, I will venture alone on the Extraterritorial Battlefield to complete the 30 trillion military merit quota set by the Virtual Universe System."
Thinking of this, he softly replied, "Continue fighting."
The Virtual Universe Monitoring System, upon receiving Ender's voice reply, quickly sent another email.
[As a free individual, you have the right to 'exchange treasures' or directly exchange them for money. Every 100,000 military merits is equal to 1 Mixed unit.
Given that you are a Virtual Universe Company member, every 100,000 military merits can also be exchanged for 1 point. You can exchange military merits for treasures in the military System, or exchange them for points to redeem treasures in the Virtual Universe Treasury.]
[You choose to continue fighting.
One, you can be alone.
Two, you can choose to lead an army. This army consists of 100 World Masters, 1,000 Domain Masters, and 10,000 Universe Levels. Your mission is to lead this army to fight on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. When encountering powerful alien races, you deal with the Immortal among them, and your subordinate army fights against the alien army.]
[If you choose the first option, military merits accumulate normally.
If you choose the second option and are willing to lead and protect the army, you will receive an additional 50% military merits during accumulation.
For example, if you kill an ordinary Immortal and get 100 million military merits, when leading an army, killing the same Immortal will earn you 150 million military merits.
Furthermore... when leading an army, you do not need to protect them; you only need to deal with the alien Immortals and prevent them from slaughtering your forces.]
[Warrior Ender, please make your choice.]
After reading the text on the light screen, Ender, who had already made up his mind, answered without hesitation, "I choose the first option, to act alone."
Detecting Ender's choice, the military System sent another email...
