"Finally left."
When Jiang Li and his group boarded the silver spaceship and departed Blue Silver Star, the Blue Silver Emperor finally let out a long breath.
He didn't dare appear at all—deeply afraid that if an Immortal-level expert became unhappy for even a second, he would be sent straight to meet death.
To the entire Blue Silver Empire, an Immortal-level powerhouse was simply far too terrifying!
Dark Universe.
Inside the spaceship's control room.
"The ship has entered Dark Universe travel. Put on your consciousness helmets—see you in the Virtual Universe Network."
As Jiang Li spoke, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen followed one after another.
Virtual Universe World, Black Dragon Mountain Island.
On the bustling streets, crowds came and went endlessly. From time to time, several people would suddenly appear out of thin air—no one found it strange anymore.
"Bàbàtǎ, bind their temporary numbers to my bank account."
Luo Feng and the others had already used the consciousness helmets to log in before.
Although their accounts were unregistered, they still had temporary identification codes.
"Done."
Babata lay perched on Jiang Li's shoulder. Soon, the few of them met up inside an ancient-style bar within the Virtual Universe.
"The Killing Field really is an extremely suitable place for martial artists to train."
Hong browsed some information and said, "But the price is insane. A Planet-level Ninth Rank needs to pay one million Black Dragon coins per day!"
After visiting the slave market, Hong's concept of money had been refreshed on a whole new level.
"Too outrageous!"
Born from poverty, Luo Feng couldn't help yelling.
A Planet-level Nine Rank warrior slave only cost five thousand Black Dragon coins, yet the Killing Field in the Virtual Universe cost one million per day?
"Money isn't a problem."
"I already bound your temporary codes to my account. The funds in that account are enough for you to train for a full hundred years."
After subtracting the 2.4 billion Qianwu coins spent on purchasing Earth and the slaves, Jiang Li still had 3.9 billion Qianwu coins left.
Jiang Li didn't care about money.
Just Hong's sword, Zhuxian, was priceless. Not to mention his relationship with Lei Shen and Luo Feng.
"Haha, then I won't be polite!"
Lei Shen grinned wickedly. "My big blade has been starving for a long time!"
"Let's go!"
The Killing Field could be said to be the Virtual Universe Network's most extravagant battle space.
A paying user could submit any request to the system. For example, Jiang Li could request:
"Human, Star-level Fourth Rank, Dual-layer Domain, initial comprehension of three laws."
He could even request something slightly stronger.
In the actual universe, finding an opponent exactly equal to Jiang Li was practically impossible.
However—
The Killing Field could completely simulate one.
He could even request a version of "himself" that was stronger, more experienced, and better at combat. Fighting such a version allowed one to absorb combat experience directly and rapidly.
More direct than any teacher.
More importantly—insight into Laws!
Many powerful beings were stuck at bottlenecks in Law comprehension. Fighting a version of oneself with deeper Law control could easily trigger enlightenment and breakthrough.
Only the Virtual Universe Company could accomplish something like this.
After all, throughout countless cosmic eras, endless battles between countless experts had been recorded. Only with these endless datasets could the system simulate laws, secret techniques, and mystic arts to near-real perfection.
Of course—
Simulated laws, mystic arts, and techniques weren't "cultivated"; they only simulated effects.
Like Jiang Li's Five-Claw Shatter Heaven. Even if the Virtual Universe recorded all the background and explosive power, others still couldn't learn it from fighting him.
Because the Virtual Universe couldn't simulate the cultivation method.
But for Jiang Li, who practiced Five-Claw Shatter Heaven himself, it produced real insight.
"Babata, set: 'Human', Star-level Fourth Rank, Dual-layer Domain, fusion of Earth, Wood, and Space laws—first stage!"
Jiang Li's eyes sharpened as he stepped into the blood-soaked Killing Field.
The Virtual Universe might not have stored his exact combat profile, but Star-level Fourth Rank humans were everywhere. With Dual Domain and three-law fusion, the system could simulate an absolute top-tier racial genius.
"Boom!"
"Domain—open! Five-Claw Shatter Heaven!"
"Pfft!"
"So after fusing earth-type law into the domain… it can break the domain clash and massively increase gravity?"
Jiang Li was crushed by the opponent's domain and lost within a hundred exchanges.
"Again!"
"Wood-space, earth-space? Absolute Law suppression!"
"Again!"
The opponent Jiang Li set—Star-level Fourth Rank with three-law fusion—was something absolutely impossible to exist in the current universe. More absurd than a fairy tale.
"Jiang Li, even stepping into two Law thresholds at Star-level already makes you a once-in-an-era genius. Three laws? Unheard of."
Babata watched Jiang Li fail again and again and could only shake his head. "A three-law-fusion existence—you simply can't defeat it!"
"Boom!"
Another defeat.
"Instant death-shift within a high-gravity domain… nearly unsolvable!"
Jiang Li fought repeatedly, thinking, analyzing, summarizing.
What he wanted wasn't victory over an impossible opponent—but improvements in domain use, law fusion application, and combat experience.
"Painful."
"Too painful. I was actually slaughtered sixty-seven times… by a Star-level Second Rank version of 'me'!"
In a corner of the Killing Hall, Lei Shen let out a long breath, forcefully stabilizing his cracked mentality before stepping back inside again.
"Jiang Li—Luo Feng is really insane."
Hong took a drink and sighed. "He hasn't stepped out of the Killing Space for eight straight days."
"He's relentless. My current strength is mostly due to luck. He's pure hard work."
After hundreds of battles, Jiang Li's aura had become much more restrained.
"Haha, don't be modest."
Hong laughed and walked back into the Killing Space.
In just eight days, all four—Jiang Li, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong—had undergone qualitative improvement.
At the same time, on the other side of the Milky Way—
Inside two battleships of the Nuolan Shan family, the atmosphere was suffocating.
"Bastard!"
"Dammit!"
"A treasure planet already in our hands—why did it suddenly have a lord?!"
"Could it be that bastard Brolin?!"
After a year and a half of tedious travel, the Solar System was finally in sight. Treasures, the Golden-Horned Beast—countless priceless riches—right before their eyes… only to become an illusion?
"The clan patriarch is still communicating with the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"There might still be a chance!"
Pula's bloodshot eyes refused to accept defeat.
The other direct disciples of the Nuolan Shan family clenched their fists tightly. One command from the clan—and they would rush into that life planet and plunder it ruthlessly!
Virtual Universe Network.
Inside the Blue Silver City virtual palace, in front of the emperor stood a thin, sharp-eared man whose eyes were like a venomous scorpion's. He wore a deep-green battle robe, and on his chest was a striking emblem of a giant axe.
It was the symbol of a Universe-level Giant Axe Warrior.
Even though he was only Universe-level Ninth Rank, even a Domain Lord like the Blue Silver Emperor didn't dare look down on him.
Because anyone who obtained the "Universe-level Giant Axe Warrior" title had at least a 50% chance of becoming a Domain Lord.
And once a Giant Axe Warrior became a Domain Lord, they were usually stronger than most of the same level.
