Chapter 222 The Nine Realms Continent (3 words)
Through the outdoor simulation, Chen Yuan gazed at the vast landmass so close at hand, and information about the Black Mist Clan's territory surfaced in his mind.
The Nine Realms Continent—this is the territory where the Black Mist Clan has lived for generations, a supercontinent similar to the Blood Luo World, with a diameter of about 1.2 light-years.
As for why this continent is called "Nine Domains", according to Chen Yuan, it wasn't actually called that at first.
However, later, under the secret manipulation of the demon race, the Black Mist Clan split into nine major clans. These clans divided the original territory into nine parts, and the name of the continent was changed to "Nine Domains Continent".
Then, the nine clans that split up, having received some promise from the demon race, began to unite against the human race, with a large number of Black Mist Clan members infiltrating human territory every year to carry out assassination missions.
The Rongshan Universe Kingdom was the first to suffer the most severe losses, which is precisely why the Rongshan Kingdom's ruler launched this tribal war.
Just then, Chen Yuan suddenly felt something was off about his surroundings. It wasn't that he had discovered any enemies or anything, but rather that the space around him seemed to have become somewhat heavy.
Since Chen Yuan's main focus is on the laws of time and his knowledge of space is limited, he can only speculate based on the original text.
He turned to Li Shan beside him and asked, "Is this a sealed-off space?"
"Junior Uncle actually sensed it?" Li Shan was slightly surprised by Chen Yuan's keen perception, then smiled and said, "That's right, this is indeed a spatial blockade."
"Moreover, judging from the faint fluctuations of divine power, it should be a seal jointly cast by Ancestor Yinlan and Lord Rongshan."
"After all, it is a continent 1.2 light-years away. With such a large-scale blockade, it is inevitable that the Rongshan Kingdom Lord will have oversights. Only with the addition of Grandmaster Yinlan can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Chen Yuan was slightly pleased upon hearing this. He was not surprised that the Rongshan Kingdom Lord could use spatial sealing, after all, the other party was a Space Venerable, but he did not expect that Venerable Yinlan was also proficient in this art.
"I remember that Senior Aunt Yinlan is the Time Venerable, right? Is her mastery of the laws of space also so profound?"
Chen Yuan could not hide his surprise. He knew that "Spatial Lockdown" was one of the three great mysteries of the laws of space. Being able to use this technique meant that one's understanding of the laws of space had reached at least the level of a King.
He only knew that Senior Sister Yinlan was a high-level Time Venerable, but he did not know that she also had such attainments in the laws of space.
"Of course."
When this was mentioned, Li Shan's face showed pride: "Although my master mainly cultivated the law of time, his understanding of the law of space was also close to perfection, equivalent to the level of the twentieth floor of the Bridge to Heaven."
"Of the three great mysteries of space, the Grandmaster has already mastered sealing and teleportation, leaving only strangulation unmastered."
"So, Martial Aunt Yinlan has already stepped halfway into the realm of the Lord of the Universe?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised. Only now did he realize that he had fallen into a misconception, which was that he had always believed that after the High Venerable, there should be the Universe Overlord, and then the Lord of the Universe.
Only now did he realize that the title of "Cosmic Overlord" only represented combat power, not realm. In fact, some Cosmic Overlords' understanding of the laws was not as good as that of some high-level Venerables.
In other words, he had always thought that Senior Sister Yinlan was still far from becoming a Lord of the Universe, and that she would have to reach the level of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace first. But now it seems that it is not certain whether Senior Sister or Senior Brother Heavenly Eclipse will become a Lord of the Universe first.
After all, once you reach this level, the comprehension of the laws is full of variables, and no one can say for sure. Perhaps a sudden enlightenment can lead to a breakthrough.
Gazing at the faint silver ripples appearing in the air under the simulated outdoor scene, Chen Yuan asked Li Shan beside him, "Are you two senior uncles casting spatial blockades to prevent the immortals on the Nine Domains Continent from escaping via teleportation?"
"That's not all." Li Shan smiled faintly, "Spatial blockade can not only restrict teleportation, but also prevent spaceships from entering the dark universe."
"The two grandmasters sealed off the Nine Domains Continent in order to wipe out the Black Mist Clan completely and eradicate them from the root!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan noticed that the fleet from the Cosmic Kingdom had already arrived above the Nine Domains Continent and had completely left the Dark Universe. No wonder the two Venerables were only now setting up the blockade.
Just then, a faint fluctuation of divine power emanated, accompanied by an enraged shout: "Lord of Rongshan Kingdom!"
"How dare you lead your army to invade my territory and even use spatial blockade? Are you trying to start a tribal war?!"
"You guessed right, old man."
A calm voice echoed from the void: "The Black Mist Clan, as the vanguard of the demon race, has ravaged our human territory for decades. This debt must be settled!"
"You!" The voice paused for a moment, then retorted, "That was just a squabble between juniors. We have never sent any immortal beings into human territory."
"A squabble between juniors?" Upon hearing this, the King of Rongshan laughed in fury. "Fine, then I'll have my share of 'scrambling' with you today."
"All warships, listen to my command: fire all railguns!"
At that moment, another surge of divine power emanated from the void, accompanied by an anxious voice: "Wait!"
"Rongshan, do you really intend to fight my clan to the death?" The voice was slightly urgent. "You should know that my Black Mist Clan has three Venerables in charge, and the Demon Clan is backing us. Your universe kingdom alone has no chance of winning."
"Although you are slightly stronger than us, you will still be defeated, or even perish, if the three of us join forces!"
"Rongshan, I advise you to think carefully and not make a mistake!"
"Three Venerables, are they very strong?" A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: "One high-level Venerable and two mid-level Venerables dare to run wild in my human territory."
"We'll use you as an example to show other races what happens when they provoke a powerful race!"
Chen Yuan immediately recognized that it was Senior Sister Yin Lan's voice. From her words, he gleaned an important piece of information: the Black Mist Clan actually had three Venerables in charge.
However, according to Senior Sister Yinlan, these three Venerables seemed to be insignificant.
"You are the human race's Venerable Silver Mist?!"
A third voice came from the Black Mist Clan, filled with shock and apprehension: "What benefits did the Rongshan Kingdom's ruler give you to actually get a hegemon like yourself to take action?"
"Don't you investigate the background of your enemies before provoking them?"
Venerable Yinlan coldly sneered, "Rongshan is my junior brother! You didn't even figure out this relationship before daring to provoke him. You deserve to be exterminated today."
"So there's this connection!"
The Black Mist Clan Venerable's voice visibly panicked, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "So what? The three of us Venerables are gathered here today..."
"It's not necessarily because we're afraid of you."
"Alright, then let me see what you've got." Venerable Yinlan chuckled lightly. "Are you going to fight outside the heavens? Lest you damage your lair."
"No need—the three of us are waiting for your arrival at the 'Temple'."
The voice hesitated for a moment, then rejected Venerable Yinlan's suggestion.
"Ha, three old turtles, you think you can get away with hiding in your lair?"
As soon as Venerable Yinlan finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly resounded across the Nine Domains Continent, causing the entire continent to tremble violently.
Chen Yuan understood that this meant Senior Sister Yin Lan and the others had officially made their move, signifying the full-scale outbreak of war against the Black Mist Clan.
However, now is not the time for them to leave, because according to the military system's guidelines, this tribal war is divided into three phases.
Phase One: The duel between the Universe Venerables. The King of Rongshan and Venerable Yinlan will restrain or kill the three Venerables of the Black Mist Clan to ensure that they cannot interfere with the lower battlefield.
Phase Two: The fleet's railguns will fire in a saturation bombardment of the Nine Realms Continent to weaken the enemy as much as possible.
Finally, the third stage: the cosmic army clashes head-on with the enemy forces. The battlefield will be divided into two zones based on strength: Immortal-level and below. Only at this stage will Chen Yuan and his team launch their attack.
We are currently still in the first phase of the war, with the Venerables fighting in places unseen. However, not long after, the Rongshan Kingdom Lord's command came through with a surge of divine power: "All fleets, listen up! Initiate the second phase: Orbital Cannon Barrage!"
The moment the order was given, the spaceships scattered across the sky began to charge their orbital cannons. Dozens of seconds later, countless dazzling beams of light shot out from the muzzles of each ship's cannon.
In an instant, a dazzling seven-colored light burst forth in the sky above the Nine Realms Continent, a beauty that took one's breath away.
However, this magnificent scene was like a death knell. Before long, when all the ship's cannons reached the ground, the fog turned the once beautiful world into a vast expanse of scorched earth.
However, the Nine Realms Continent is too vast, spanning 1.2 light-years. Even though the Rongshan Universe Kingdom's fleet numbered in the hundreds of millions, a single barrage of cannon fire only affected a small area of the continent.
Therefore, this attack must have happened more than once. Just ten minutes later, as this railgun firing ended, all the warships immediately started their second recharge, and a few dozen seconds later, they began the second salvo.
Chen Yuan observed the vast continent below through the exterior simulation. With the fleet's second railgun firing, a dark scorch mark appeared on the land, covering about one percent of the entire continent.
However, since it is a "whitewashing" operation, these railguns will not only be fired once or twice. In fact, as far as he knows, each warship is equipped with energy reserves. For example, this F-class warship can support its "Star Destroyer Main Cannon" to fire more than ten times.
However, other D-class and E-class warships could not carry as many reserves. Starting from the fifth round of firing, the beams of light from the railguns were significantly reduced by more than half, and starting from the eighth round of firing, the number of railguns was less than one-tenth of the initial number.
Two hours later, when all the railguns ceased firing, about one-tenth of the Nine Realms Continent had been reduced to scorched earth.
This result is quite astonishing—keep in mind that this is a supercontinent 1.2 light-years away; if it were an ordinary planet, it would be enough to destroy hundreds of millions of them.
With the shelling over, an even more brutal close-quarters battle was about to begin.
Chen Yuan and the others finally received the long-awaited notification: they could now leave the warship and enter the Nine Domains Continent to fight the alien race!
