Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 134 Returning to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, Encountering an Attack

After making preparations according to their plan, Yuqing and Shangqing's clones, having completed their upgrades and resupply, hurriedly returned to the No. 031 barracks base of the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

The round trip took more than two years just to travel, and several months more to prepare the items for the trip, making the entire journey take nearly three years.

During these three years, the teammates in the barracks base had already processed the large amount of spoils they had acquired and transformed them into various resources that could enhance their own strength.

After Qi Yuan returned to the team, the Bahrain team, who had been waiting for a long time, did not delay any longer. They immediately boarded a spaceship and left the barracks base, embarking once again on their journey to the extraterritorial battlefield.

"Everyone has improved a lot during this time. This time, let's explore a different island."

Inside the spaceship, Captain Balin explained the destination to everyone: "This time we're going directly to Island 2800. There are more alien forces there, and more importantly, they're unfamiliar with us, so we should be able to accumulate military merits more efficiently."

"Island 2800? Haha, there are definitely a lot of alien races there. This time we'll definitely have a good time killing!"

The venomous bee's face showed an expression of great anticipation.

He had gained a lot from his previous centuries of adventures, especially after processing the spoils of war this time, he used all the profits to improve and expand his puppet army.

The puppeteer's strength lies largely in his powerful puppets; as the puppets improve, his own strength increases, which is why he's currently quite arrogant.

"Gah gah, kill, kill, kill! Prove immortality by stepping over the corpses of these alien races!"

The golden-haired ape-man, the 'madman,' cackled and chuckled.

The illusionist Xue Mei, standing nearby, gave them a nonchalant glare: "You battle maniacs, don't forget to protect us two fragile illusionists when things get tough."

"Haha, isn't that because you have your brother Yuan? Let him protect you!" Poison Bee's smile was unusually lewd.

"Get lost! I knew I couldn't count on you!"

Seeing this joyful scene, Qi Yuan also smiled.

Back on Red Leaf Star, he was a high and mighty 'Lord' and 'Teacher', whose every word and action was governed by 'laws', and few dared to communicate with him freely and on equal terms.

The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the team gave him a rare feeling of 'letting go of his airs'.

"Island No. 2800."

Information about Island 2800 also came to mind.

This intelligence was gathered by the Bahrain team during their operations in overseas battlefields, and it is absolutely invaluable.

However, Qi Yuan and Noah received this intelligence from Bahrain as soon as they joined the team.

According to intelligence reports, Island 2800 is significantly larger than Island 2932, which they had previously stayed on, with a maximum diameter of approximately 3000 billion kilometers.

A larger area naturally attracts more powerful alien beings.

Island 2800 not only has a high density of powerful alien races, but also has many experts at the level of the Immortal Army Lord Duan Feng, making it an ideal place for battle and training.

"Let's continue exploring Island 2800 with the team for a while, and find an opportunity to make Shangqing's clone appear."

Qi Yuan secretly made up his mind, "I need to find out their attitudes as soon as possible. If there's really no hope of taking them on as disciples, I can shift my focus to other areas as soon as possible."

After a long journey of nearly three months and dark space travel, the Bahrain team finally arrived at land number 2800 in the Thousand Islands region.

After choosing a good resting spot and taking a short break, the team couldn't wait to begin their first hunt.

In fact, it wasn't just Poison Bee; the other members of the team had also improved their strength considerably during this period, and they were all eager to try their luck.

Especially Captain Balin, as the main force in the team fighting against enemies at the level of immortal gods, most of the spoils from each successful hunt of alien immortal gods went to him.

After processing all the spoils of war, and with the addition of his previous accumulations, he made a drastic upgrade to his secret techniques and equipment. At this point, he was also eager for battles to quickly digest this upgrade and master its application.

After nearly two days of careful screening, the team successfully locked onto an alien team that was also led by only one immortal god.

In this battle, all members of the Bahrain team unleashed combat power far exceeding their previous levels!

Without using a swarm attack beforehand, they directly crushed and routed the enemy's elite squad head-on!

Seven of the Realm Lord warriors joined forces and directly swept away the six Realm Lord-level enemies on the other side.

Meanwhile, Balin, Poison Bee, and Qi Yuan ganged up on the alien immortal god.

With each strike, the upgraded flaming spear in Balin's hand caused the opponent's divine body to crack slightly. The new cyan-black puppet controlled by Poison Bee held its own against the immortal god.

Of course, it only meant they weren't at a disadvantage; the Poison Bee's puppet attacks also failed to inflict any real damage on the enemy.

After all, although the puppet is powerful, it is still controlled by someone, and moreover, it is controlled by a realm lord. Compared with a true immortal god, its reaction is still much worse.

Of the three, Qi Yuan stood out the most.

Countless cyan crystal-like grains of sand rushed out from the scroll with mountain and river patterns covering his body, directly converging into an ancient thunder pool surrounded by endless lightning!
Within that Thunder Pool, the power of time is also faintly brewing.

The ancient Thunder Pool carried boundless, violent destructive power. Each strike left a crack in the immortal body of the alien race, followed by the eruption of the power of time within the pool, instantly annihilating large portions of his divine form. The efficiency of this annihilation was comparable to, in no way inferior to, Captain Balin's attacks!
Under the combined attack of the three, the alien immortal had no chance to escape. In the end, with his divine body greatly depleted, he had no choice but to self-destruct and perish.

In their first battle on Island 2800, they successfully annihilated an elite alien squad possessing an immortal god!
Needless to say, the members of the human team were overjoyed. Qi Yuan, on the other hand, took the opportunity of cleaning up the battlefield to quietly leave behind his Shangqing clone, which had already turned into a speck of dust.
As before, the Bahrain team would return to their base after every one or two battles to summarize and digest the information for a period of time.

After summarizing and digesting all the insights, he continued to seek out suitable opponents to hunt down.

Their life on Island 2800 quickly returned to normal.

In this routine life, Qi Yuan's Yuqing clone followed the team on their training while waiting for a suitable opportunity for his Shangqing clone to appear and meet him.

Fortunately, the opportunity came soon.
On this day, the Bahrain team had just finished a fierce battle and was returning to their base in a spaceship.

Inside the spaceship's lounge, a group of crew members were laughing and joking, excitedly discussing the thrilling experience of the battle they had just fought.

"Haha, in this battle I killed two enemies at the level of World Lord Generals and directly received 15 million military merits. Awesome, so awesome!"

The poisonous wasp proudly showed off.

"How dare you call me that, you 'human-headed dog'!"

The Moonlit Clan illusionist, Xue Mei, was filled with indignation. "Instead of fighting that alien immortal with the captain and the others, you've come to steal these Realm Lord enemies from us. How shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Poison Bee immediately cried out in protest: "Was I stealing kills? Our battle just now lasted too long, and dragging it out any longer would have been too risky!"

"No matter what you say, it won't change the fact that you're stealing kills. Anyway, you've got the most military merits, so be prepared to bleed a little when the spoils are distributed later."

"Yes, yes, let the poisonous bees bleed a little!"

Several veterans of the realm were laughing and joking.

They fought and adventured together for over a thousand years, and their friendship was profound.

Such noise wouldn't affect their relationship; on the contrary, it would make it easier for them to get closer.

And in this joyful atmosphere, suddenly—

"Alarm! Alarm! Attacked!"

A piercing AI voice suddenly rang out throughout the lounge!
The team members, who had been chatting and laughing, instantly changed their expressions and drew their weapons almost simultaneously!
Immediately afterwards——

"boom!"

The entire spaceship suddenly shuddered violently. The outer alloy hull was instantly torn apart and disintegrated. The powerful energy instantly descended on the rest cabin made of F9-class metal, causing it to tumble and fly away like a kicked football!
"Be careful, there may be an enemy attack. The enemy's detectors are more advanced than ours, and their strength should not be underestimated!"

As Bahrain roared, he also quickly unleashed his immortal divine power, enveloping the entire rest pod and stopping it from rolling.

"Get out!" Bahrain shouted.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
All four doors of the lounge opened simultaneously.

"go!"

Poison Bee controlled the dark blue puppet to lead the way, while its armor instantly extended to cover its entire body, and it rushed out through the opened hatch.

The other squad members followed suit, their battle suits quickly spreading out to protect them, and then they rushed out with their shields and weapons in hand!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each team member stood in the void, nervously observing their surroundings.

"Who attacked us?!"

Where is the enemy?

The squad members looked around warily, but apart from some debris left by the exploding spaceship, they couldn't see any enemies at all.

“It’s even more advanced than the detector I have,” Qi Yuan’s gaze flickered slightly.

Often, the level of the detector can give a rough estimate of the enemy's strength.

The mechanical race technology detector that Qi Yuan had purchased for 2 Chaos Units was something that only extremely powerful high-level immortal military lords would be willing to buy.

The fact that the enemy was able to block the signal from the detector in his hand indicates that the enemy is very likely to be at the peak of the Immortal Army Lord level, or even above the peak of the Immortal Army Lord level.

Of course, this can only be used as a reference and is not entirely accurate.

We'll have to wait until the enemy actually shows themselves to determine their true strength.
Be careful, everyone.

Captain Bahrain had just given a reminder when—

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

In the surrounding void, extremely powerful energy fluctuations emanated from nine extremely distant directions.

Immediately afterwards, countless black dots rapidly appeared in the void!
