Chapter 82 - Chapter 82 -- Encounter

[[[This novel is complete in pdf on my patreon]]]

The Blood River Star System resembled a vast cosmic river, yet even at its narrowest point, its width exceeded one thousand light-years.

At the downstream end where the Black Yuan Team was stationed, the average width had already expanded to more than two thousand light-years, with a thickness surpassing seven hundred light-years. Years of brutal warfare had turned this region into a graveyard of civilizations—shattered stars drifted silently, wrecked spaceships floated like metallic carcasses, and the remains of countless lifeforms were scattered throughout the dark void.

Within this bleak expanse, an E-grade human spaceship glided forward in complete silence.

Inside was the Black Yuan Team.

It had already been half a year since they entered the Blood River Star System. In that time, they had participated in multiple engagements. Most encounters involved only Monster Race World Lord squads. Only once had they faced an enemy team containing an Undying—and that Undying had ultimately fallen to Bai Yue's staff, contributing another one hundred million military merit to his total.

For Bai Yue, this rate of accumulation was not fast.

But there was no helping it.

Before reaching the threshold that granted operational freedom, he had no choice but to continue following the team's assigned missions.

A sharp alert suddenly sounded.

"Beep—beep—beep."

The detector panel lit up.

Everyone in the cabin turned their attention toward it.

"Monster Race signal detected," the system reported. "Distance: seventy million kilometers. Composition: two Undying Spiritual Gods, five World Lords."

Black Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Haha! A real catch this time," he said loudly. "Brothers, prepare for battle."

"Yes, Captain!"

The atmosphere inside the cabin shifted instantly.

"The distance is closing—sixty million… fifty million kilometers," Black Yuan continued, calmly analyzing the situation. "They're hiding inside a shattered star and haven't moved. Their detection equipment should be inferior—they haven't discovered us yet. Our own detection system is suppressing theirs."

On the Outside Territory Battlefield, detection was life and death.

If you could detect the enemy while remaining unseen yourself, you already held the initiative.

Human technology in this regard was slightly superior to the Monster Race, though still inferior to the Automaton Race.

Soon, the distance closed to three million kilometers.

"Decelerate. Stop here."

The spaceship slowed to a halt.

"The enemy team's appearance has been fully confirmed," Black Yuan said. A projection appeared in the air, displaying the opposing squad.

They were clearly of the same species.

Each resembled an armored tyrannosaur—between twenty and thirty meters tall—with thick scales and a single horn protruding from their foreheads.

The two Undying auras belonged to mechanical puppets.

At this moment, the enemy team appeared to sense something amiss. They burst out of the shattered star and took up a defensive formation.

Seeing this, Black Yuan no longer concealed their presence.

The spaceship surged forward.

What surprised everyone slightly was that the Monster Race team did not retreat.

Instead, they charged straight toward them.

When the distance closed to five hundred thousand kilometers, the Black Yuan Team members flew out simultaneously, stowing the spaceship into their world rings and advancing under their own power.

The weakest member among them was a Sector Lord War General. Their speed was terrifying, and the gap vanished in moments.

The Monster Race team proved worthy of being called elite.

The two Undying immediately abandoned their mechanical puppets. Their true bodies emerged from their world rings.

One was a tyrannosaur-shaped Monster Race—of the same species as the World Lords, but nearly ten times larger, standing more than three hundred meters tall.

The other was an eel-shaped Monster Race, over two thousand meters long and three hundred meters thick, its entire body crackling with blue lightning. The oppressive aura it emitted caused space itself to tremble.

In the Devouring Starry Sky Universe, size mattered.

When breaking through to Undying, the Primordial Universe Origin Laws descended and transformed the entire body into a divine body—only once. There would be no such opportunity at later stages.

Thus, the larger the divine body at breakthrough, the greater the advantage.

Big was beautiful.

Big was strong.

Even improvements in law comprehension could expand one's divine kingdom and inner world.

Bai Yue even suspected that breaking through to True God with different levels of law comprehension would result in Small Universes of different scales.

The reason all known True Gods in the Universe Sea possessed Small Universes of exactly one hundred million light-years was simple—their breakthrough paths had never reached the level where the supreme rules descended in celebration.

Only that person—Lord Luo—had received such treatment.

Returning to the battlefield, the oppressive size of the enemy Undyings caused a faint sense of pressure among the Black Yuan Team.

Bai Yue, however, felt none of it.

Instead, his interest was finally piqued.

If he could kill one of these Undyings, his one-billion military merit requirement would likely be nearly complete.

Without hesitation, he accelerated forward, taking the initiative and charging straight toward the lightning-wreathed eel-shaped Undying.

As he advanced, Bai Yue's body expanded rapidly, reaching a height of one kilometer in an instant. The Hun Yuan Staff in his hand grew accordingly, its surface flickering with dense law fluctuations.

This was the result of his recent breakthroughs.

By analyzing countless primal-force weapons—and most importantly, the high-grade treasure armor bestowed by Primordial Chaos City Lord, which contained a vast number of law secret patterns—Bai Yue had performed repeated comparisons and deductions.

Using materials identical to the Zi Luo Armor and secret patterns tailored specifically for himself, he had refined the Hun Yuan Staff into a weapon whose power was no less than a treasure.

Only the first layer of secret patterns had been deduced so far, leaving it slightly inferior to a true treasure—but even so, its might was terrifying.

Seeing Bai Yue deliberately enlarge his body, the Lightning Eel Undying sneered inwardly.

In its eyes, this was nothing more than turning oneself into a larger target.

It spat out a psychic weapon that fused with its head, extending into a several-hundred-meter-long spike from its mouth.

Lightning surged.

Its body twisted, transforming into a colossal drill as it pierced toward Bai Yue's chest.

Bai Yue responded with a simple thrust.

Staff met spike.

The result was decisive.

Crack!

The drill shattered.

The unknown alloy spike snapped in two under a single staff strike, causing the Lightning Eel to let out a furious, pained howl as the weapon forcibly disengaged from its head.

Enraged, the Lightning Eel unleashed its Lightning Law Domain, covering a radius of ten thousand li. Countless lightning spears and cone-shaped constructs rained down upon Bai Yue from every direction.

The gray Hun Yuan Staff spun like a sealed barrier, blocking every strike with absolute precision.

Bai Yue advanced step by step.

In an instant, he reached the Lightning Eel's side and brought the staff down in a single, overwhelming blow—one strike collapsing heaven and earth.

The armor protecting the Lightning Eel's divine body shattered into fragments.

Yet it did not fall.

Its body reassembled at a distance, divine flesh rapidly regenerating.

This was the hallmark of an Undying body—the soul fused into every cell. As long as even a single cell remained, recovery was possible.

However, the Lightning Eel's aura had clearly dropped.

The portion of its divine body struck by Bai Yue had suffered soul annihilation.

That seemingly casual strike was, in truth, a profound killing technique.

And this battle—

Had only just begun.
