"From the information I just received, the Mechanical Race's King Melting Rule has released my Realm, characteristics, and information about the Cloud Vine as bounty conditions."
Sitting in the spaceship's control room, Ender frowned slightly, deep in thought, "Once I engage with an Immortal from the Mechanical Race faction, my identity will quickly be confirmed and reported to the King Melting Rule. The other party should also arrive at the first opportunity, and it's not out of the question that they might ask a Pinnacle Stage King-Level expert who can teleport to intervene…"
The King Melting Rule is a High Stage King-Level Immortal, and as a Pinnacle race, the Mechanical Race possesses far more wealth than non-Pinnacle race King-level Immortals, so they can naturally afford to hire a Pinnacle Stage King-Level expert for assistance.
"Therefore… until I have a way to conceal my identity, or possess strength not inferior to theirs, I absolutely cannot expose my identity and whereabouts."
Thinking of this, Ender projected the star chart of the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield in front of him, carefully examining the coordinates of the nearly thirty Barracks Bases on the light screen, then turned his gaze to two of the Barracks Bases.
"Barracks Base No. 091 and Barracks Base No. 092, these are the two Barracks Bases closest to the entrance of the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield."
Looking at the light screen, Ender thought to himself, "Since I've been targeted by a Mechanical Race King-level Immortal, I might as well Cultivate in a nearby Barracks Base for a period of time."
"The Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body, this amplitude secret technique from the Ancient Inheritance, I have now Cultivated to the fourth level. As long as I Cultivate to the fifth level, my body can shrink at will, which will be very useful for concealing my identity."
"There are still over 300 years until the next Pinnacle Genius Battle held by the Huge Axe Dojo. I can use this time to Cultivate secret techniques and comprehend Laws, then watch my Second Uncle and the others participate in the Genius Battle, and also avoid the heat of the bounty."
Facing the bounty from a Mechanical Race High Stage King-Level Immortal, he rationally chose to temporarily avoid the confrontation. Knowing that the opponent might have a Pinnacle Stage King-Level expert as an ally, he naturally wouldn't recklessly court death by venturing into the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield.
"Hmm…" Ender looked at the distance between the two Barracks Bases on the light screen and the entrance to the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield, muttering to himself, "I'll go to Barracks Base No. 092 then, it looks a bit closer than Barracks Base No. 091."
"At the current cruising speed, it will still take 5 days to reach the entrance of the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield. Once we reach the entrance, I'll switch to the Shadow Dragon."
When he bid farewell to Fortress and the others earlier, he was on an E9-level Spaceship, not the Shadow Dragon built with top-tier F-grade alloy, simply because transferring spaceships in the Dark Universe was troublesome.
After finalizing his plan for the next 300-plus years, Ender had Little Dawn control the spaceship according to the planned route, instructing her not to disturb him unless there was an urgent situation involving enemies.
Subsequently, his human main body began Cultivating the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body in his world ring, hoping to improve himself as much as possible within the next 300-plus years to strengthen his capabilities for future ventures into the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield.
…
Five days later.
Hundreds of millions of kilometers outside the entrance to the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield, an E9-level Spaceship detached from the Dark Universe, returning to the vast and boundless Extraterritorial Battlefield.
After exiting from the Dark Universe, the spaceship began to decelerate. Thirty seconds later, with a "whoosh," the spaceship's hatch opened, and the puppet Ender was using emerged from the still-moving spaceship.
Buzz!
World Energy fluctuations appeared, and a dark red prismatic spaceship emerged, after which the E9-level Spaceship was collected into the world ring.
Whoosh!
The hatch of the dark red prismatic spaceship opened, and Ender entered the spaceship. After the hatch closed with a "whoosh," the spaceship began to accelerate, flying towards the Secret Realm entrance hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
…
Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield entrance.
It was an elliptical white light cluster with a maximum diameter exceeding a hundred kilometers. Some debris floating in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, upon flying into the white light cluster, would not fly out from the other side, as if being swallowed and digested by it.
However, this seemingly devouring phenomenon did not deter the approaching spaceships or the Immortals radiating pressure; they entered the light cluster without hesitation.
Tens of millions of kilometers away from the light cluster, a Mechanical Race faction team was lurking in a planetary wreckage. The planetary wreckage provided cover for their spaceship, making them less likely to be detected by the naked eye of foreign race experts.
Inside the spaceship.
A foreign race Immortal looked at the light screen, which only showed various floating objects, and asked in confusion, "Captain, can we encounter weak foreign race teams like this?"
Another foreign race Immortal, whose aura was clearly stronger, affirmed, "Of course we can."
"But this is the entrance to the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield. Foreign races who dare to enter the Endless Island Universe Secret Realm Battlefield from here should be quite strong."
"The Endless Island Secret Realm does have many Marquis-level Immortal, but they mostly operate in the inner areas of the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield, near the Barracks Bases of various races. There are also many armies led by Immortals, or elite teams with only one Immortal, active there."
"I see. Then why don't we go to the areas near the Barracks Bases in the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield?"
"Idiot! Competition and slaughter are fierce there. Sometimes, some Marquis-level Immortal also appear. Many Marquis-level Immortal disdain participating in army battles, but they love to hunt elite teams like us!"
"Oh, I see."
The two foreign race Immortals communicated via telepathy, while several other World Masters stood at the spaceship's hatch, acting as human detectors, observing spaceship targets that the detector couldn't find.
Each of them had several eyes, with each eye growing on a long tentacle. Dozens of eyes extended along winding tunnels into the starry Universe, observing the outside situation with their naked eyes.
Suddenly, a foreign race World Master transmitted, "Captain, I've found a dark red spaceship! Unable to identify its flight model level!"
"Unable to identify the model?" Hearing his subordinate's words, the captain, after carefully observing the light screen projected by the detector, said in a deep voice, "The detector didn't detect the dark red spaceship. Their detector must be more Advanced than ours, and their strength is likely similar. Let the spaceship pass; don't make any rash moves!"
"Yes, Captain!" The World Master replied, then fell silent.
…
Inside the Shadow Dragon spaceship, which was currently in flight.
Ender sat in the control room, looking at the light screen projected by the detector, where several World Masters were acting as human detectors, observing the Shadow Dragon he was on.
Seeing this, he sighed softly, "This foreign race team from the Mechanical Race faction is truly bold, playing 'waiting for the rabbit' at the entrance of the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield. Aren't they afraid of being discovered by a Marquis-level Immortal?"
"It's just your good luck that you're a team from the Mechanical Race faction, otherwise…"
Because he was under a bounty from the Mechanical Race's King Melting Rule, Ender had no intention of exposing his whereabouts for now. So, he let this bold team go; otherwise, this team would surely have become his military merit.
Whoosh!
No longer bothering with the Mechanical Race faction team that was waiting for the rabbit, the Shadow Dragon Ender was on flew into the elliptical light cluster with a maximum diameter exceeding a hundred kilometers.
As the Shadow Dragon entered the elliptical light cluster, space immediately transformed. After a brief pause, the light screen projected by the detector displayed islands floating in the Void.
These islands, varying in size, floated in the Void. Some islands were only a few kilometers in diameter, while others exceeded a hundred million kilometers, or even larger!
These islands were countless. Within the billion-kilometer range detected by the detector alone, there were hundreds of thousands of islands.
"This is the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield…" Ender looked at the many islands on the light screen and sighed softly, "There are indeed many islands."
Ender gave the order, "Little Dawn, plan the route to Barracks Base No. 092."
According to the Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield star chart's description, the number of islands in the entire Secret Realm Battlefield constantly changes. Large islands, due to their immense size, generally do not change, so the star chart primarily focuses on large islands.
However, miniature islands occasionally disappear due to battles, but the dust and floating matter slowly gather again, forming new miniature islands.
Due to the unstable number of islands and the difficulty in counting them, the name Endless Island Secret Realm was born.
"Yes, Master." Little Dawn's pleasant voice came, "The route has been planned based on the detector and star chart. We are currently heading towards Barracks Base No. 092, estimated to arrive in 41 days."
Whoosh!
The dark red prismatic spaceship, 'Shadow Dragon,' made a quick turn and flew towards Barracks Base No. 092.
"41 days…"
Ender nodded slightly upon hearing this. After giving the command to be notified if anything happened, his human main body in the world ring resumed Cultivating the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body.
…
Half a month later.
The Shadow Dragon had been flying in the Endless Island Secret Realm. Due to the varying sizes of islands spread throughout the Secret Realm, it was difficult for the spaceship to accelerate into the Dark Universe, and it hadn't found a suitable open space for Cosmic travel.
Therefore, under Little Dawn's control, while heading towards Barracks Base No. 092, the Shadow Dragon spaceship continuously dodged island after island.
"Master, I've received an ally's distress call from the army System. Should I connect?" Little Dawn's pleasant voice echoed in Ender's mind.
Ender's avatar in the spaceship's control room opened his eyes and muttered, "Ally distress call? It's been over a year since I came to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and this is the first time I've received an ally's distress call."
"Connect." Ender said softly.
Beep!
As his voice fell, a light screen appeared in front of Ender, unfolding up and down.
Then, a man resembling a human Napo race, but with skin that had a jade-like luster, appeared on the light screen.
"Hello, esteemed Human!"
Upon seeing Ender's image and face, the man on the light screen first bowed respectfully, then quickly said, "I am Yu Li of the Gold Horn Race's Horisai tribe. Currently, the army I lead is under attack by the Zerg army. Their Immortals and army strength both exceed ours."
"The situation is urgent now, so please, esteemed Human Powerhouse, save me and my people."
At this point, the Gold Horn Race man named Yu Li bowed respectfully again.
"I didn't expect to encounter a Gold Horn Race army in the Extraterritorial Battlefield…" After hearing Yu Li's words, Ender quickly pondered, "When I went to the Gold Horn Race's Laos World, I also gained some benefits, and I still have unused Holy Monument comprehension time."
"The Gold Horn Race is, after all, a vassal race of our Human Race. While fighting and conquering in the Extraterritorial Battlefield is for the survival of their race, they are also serving our Human Race."
"As long as I kill the enemy Immortals fast enough, this encounter with the Zerg army by this Gold Horn Race army will not expose my whereabouts."
"Hmm… I can help." Thinking of this, Ender replied, "Yu Li, you and your people hold on for a little longer. I'll be there soon."
Hearing that Ender was willing to come to their rescue, the Gold Horn Race man Yu Li bowed joyfully and said, "Thank you, Human Powerhouse!"
Beep!
As Ender agreed to the rescue, the light screen folded up and disappeared. "Little Dawn, go to the rescue coordinates."
"Yes, Master." Little Dawn's pleasant voice rang out, "Heading to the rescue coordinates."
The Shadow Dragon spaceship drew an arc in the Void and flew towards the coordinates Yu Li had sent for help.
…
On an island with a diameter exceeding a million kilometers, a snow-covered mountain stood amidst a misty white fog, beautiful beyond compare.
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from this rather beautiful mountain, two armies were engaged in battle in the air. Gene Energy or Spiritual Force, and even World Energy fluctuations, manifested, with explosions and piercing screams echoing all around.
"Die! Foreign race!"
A Domain Master Gold Horn Race warrior, wielding a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon simplified from the Divine Weapon, condensed a golden greatsword emanating a brilliant glow, slashing towards a Domain Master from the Zerg faction.
Whoosh!
The golden greatsword, from top to bottom, drew a golden arc in the air, as if to tear through space, powerfully slashing towards the foreign race Domain Master in front.
Clang!
The foreign race Domain Master was beast-like. Seeing this, it raised a claw bound with a shield. The secret pattern on the shield emitted a strong red light, successfully blocking the golden greatsword's glowing slash.
Whoosh!
A blade light extended for over a thousand meters. Under the swing of a Domain Master Gold Horn Race warrior, the battle-blade wounded the foreign race Domain Master who had just blocked the golden greatsword, and a claw with a carapace was sent flying.
Before the successful Gold Horn Race warrior could rejoice, the next moment he was pounced on by a Zerg Domain Master. Several sharp limbs pierced the Gold Horn Race warrior's rocky body, directly tearing his body into several pieces!
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
The roars of the Gold Horn Race intertwined with the hisses of the Zerg. The battlefield of tens of thousands of people was vaguely divided into three battle zones: World Master Level, Domain Master, and Universe Level warriors, who are fighting for their lives against enemies of the same level.
However, from the current situation, the Zerg army held the overall advantage, firmly suppressing the Gold Horn Race army, which was showing signs of decline.
In the sky.
Two Immortals were engaged in battle. Compared to the life-and-death struggle of the armies below, their battle was much more intense, and cracks appeared in the Void due to the fighting.
The Endless Island Secret Realm Battlefield's space stability was far superior to that of the Original Universe. Ordinary World Master Level Pinnacle warriors found it difficult to tear the space here during combat.
Only the intense battles of Immortals could tear cracks in space, which also demonstrated the immense gap between Immortals and ordinary World Masters.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Gold Horn Race's Yu Li was struggling to block with his shield. The Zerg Immortal, Green Mantis, resembling a giant green praying Mantis, continuously slashed with its two blade-arms like two battle-blades, launching a continuous barrage of attacks like a fierce storm.
