In the void, a massive warship was speeding forward at an incredible pace.
This was naturally the warship of the Black Dragon Guard, carrying thousands of new recruits of the Black Dragon Guard.
Although this warship was merely a Celestial Tier ship, its speed far exceeded the sky-controlling flight of Martial Cultivators at the Acupoint Condensation Realm.
Half a month had passed quickly.
During this half-month, Wang Ruoxie had not slacked off for a moment, fully dedicating himself to cultivating the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture. Although he hadn't reached the Second Transformation, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm, needing only a breakthrough to step into the Acupoint Condensation Realm.
"The speed of a Celestial Tier warship really can't compare with a Saint Tier warship."
Standing on the deck of the warship, Wang Ruoxie gazed down at the vast land below, thinking to himself.
If he used the Soul Boat, he might have already arrived at the Outer Battlefield.
At this moment, he was wearing a battle armor entirely black, with three True Dragon emblems embroidered on the chest, which naturally represented his rank as a Chiliarch.
Moreover, the grade of this Three Dragon Battle Armor seemed quite high, equivalent to a top-level Upper Grade Celestial Artifact.
However, if he weren't a Chiliarch of the Black Dragon Guard who had to wear the standard battle armor, he might not have looked favorably upon this Three Dragon Battle Armor, since he already possessed the Top Grade Celestial Tier Black Tortoise Battle Armor.
During the journey, Lei Xing divided the thousand-man teams for Wang Ruoxie and the other six Chiliarchs to command.
Xiao Ningyue and Qian Duoduo naturally volunteered to be under Wang Ruoxie's command, taking positions as a Centurion and a Decurion, respectively.
However, the others assigned under Wang Ruoxie felt extremely aggrieved, especially the nine Centurions, who continuously cast indifferent glances at him.
They apparently had no respect for a Chilarch with merely Essence Pill Realm cultivation, and if Lei Xing the Deputy Commander weren't present, they might have already directly challenged Wang Ruoxie.
The other five Chiliarchs noticed this too, gloating, waiting for Wang Ruoxie to make a fool of himself.
In their view, if he were challenged and defeated by his own subordinates, he likely wouldn't last in the Black Dragon Guard.
Zhuge Ming and Feng Yangyu looked at Wang Ruoxie with coldness in their eyes, and even faint traces of chilling murderous intent emerged.
"Young Master Ming, I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky to be directly promoted to Chiliarch by Lord Commander."
Feng Yangyu gave Wang Ruoxie a cold look, then said to Zhuge Ming.
"What's so special about being a Chiliarch? Just a mere Essence Pill Realm cultivation would make him nothing but cannon fodder in the Outer Battlefield."
Zhuge Ming said disdainfully.
"Even so, he's a Chiliarch of the Black Dragon Guard. If he takes personal revenge in the Outer Battlefield, wouldn't that be problematic for us?"
Feng Yangyu's eyes flickered as he spoke again.
"If he dares, I, Zhuge Ming, as the grandson of Marquis Wu, am not someone a mere Chiliarch can compare to. If he really dares to do so, I'll eliminate him directly."
Zhuge Ming said coldly.
Upon hearing Zhuge Ming's words, a cold smile flashed in Feng Yangyu's eyes. This was exactly what he was waiting for. If Zhuge Ming took action against Wang Ruoxie, regardless of the outcome, he had means to bring about Wang Ruoxie's downfall.
If Zhuge Ming did kill Wang Ruoxie, that would be perfect, saving him the trouble. But if Zhuge Ming died at Wang Ruoxie's hands, he would directly inform Zhuge Ming's grandfather.
The wrath of that Marquis Wu, even the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Guard might not withstand it.
Wang Ruoxie, of course, was unaware of their scheming against him. But even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off, not bothering to care.
If these two really dared to make a move on him, he certainly wouldn't show any mercy.
After flying at full speed for a few more days, the warship finally stopped.
"Aren't we heading to the Outer Battlefield? Why have we stopped?"
Someone asked in confusion.
In fact, not only him, but most, including Wang Ruoxie, were also looking at Lei Xing with puzzled eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"The Outer Battlefield, as the name suggests, is not a part of our Five Domains of Yun Province. In fact, it's not part of any of the Nine Provinces on the Yuanwu Continent either."
Lei Xing smiled at everyone and explained, "Simply put, the Outer Battlefield is in another world. Although that world is not as vast and magnificent as our Yuanwu Continent, it is still an independent realm."
After a pause, he continued, "If it weren't so, perhaps our Yuanwu Continent might already be engulfed in war. If such a situation occurs, our loved ones and friends might have to directly face the invasion of the demonic army."
"Thus, everyone, for the safety of our families, we must do our utmost to resist the demonic army and swear to drive them back to the Evil Land."
Following Lei Xing's words, everyone couldn't help but show a look of shock.
"Swear to annihilate the demonic army."
"Drive the demons back to the Evil Land."
But soon, they regained their composure and shouted in unison.
Inspired by Lei Xing's words, the morale of these several thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Guard was exceptionally high.
"To think the Outer Battlefield is in another world."
Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered silently.
It seems that the heavens now are just like the Three Realms of the past, not consisting of just one world.
He even speculated that perhaps the Three Realms hadn't truly disappeared, or maybe the Yuanwu Continent was just one among many worlds, and he had been reborn from the Three Realms.
If this were true, once he had enough strength, he might break through the world's barriers and return to the Three Realms.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes. When he returned to the Three Realms, he must ask the Profound Lady why she did what she did.
"Now, we shall pass through the transmission channel to enter that world."
At this moment, Lei Xing spoke again.
"This transmission channel connects the Yuanwu Continent and the world of the Outer Battlefield, allowing the warship to directly reach the Outer Battlefield."
Lei Xing continued, "In every continent of the Yuanwu Continent, there is such a transmission channel, so not only will people from Yun Province head to the Outer Battlefield, but many geniuses and experts from the other eight provinces will also continue to battle the demonic army there."
"Lord Lei Xing, where did these transmission channels come from?"
Someone asked.
"To my knowledge, these transmission channels have existed since the Ancient Era. However, there are also rumors that these channels were constructed by powerful beings at the Pocket World Realm or even the Celestial Monarch Realm with Supreme Magical Power."
Lei Xing pondered for a moment before replying.
The crowd then asked Lei Xing several more questions, all answered by him one by one.
