Alien Planet [2k]

"Whoosh!"
Everyone, under the transmission of beams of light, was directly projected into the twisted nebula stretching tens of millions of miles ahead.
And they accurately entered various fragmented continents.
Li Chunjun was no exception.
He felt his entire body enveloped by light, surrounded by a vast expanse of white.
When this white light dissipated, he found himself on an endless, desolate land.
This was a land where, at first glance, no vegetation or lakes could be seen.
The sky also had an inexplicable, eerie chill.
Although no stars were visible, the twisted light transmitted through space provided some illumination to the land, albeit not strong, resembling the dawn of a cold winter.
Moreover, the current temperature was estimated to be around minus eighty degrees Celsius.
The land was shrouded in various harmful gases with complex compositions.
This was not an area where ordinary humans could survive.
Fortunately, Li Chunjun was a Core Formation Cultivator.
Absolute control over his body allowed him to produce essential substances and oxygen necessary for life through various means within his body, and to use the Sword Qi circulating inside to isolate harmful external radiation, enabling him to walk freely on this land.
After surveying the surrounding environment, Li Chunjun quickly extended a strand of Divine Sense into the "Solar Flare Military Token."
The first thing that appeared before him was a three-dimensional image resembling a "map."
It could clearly mark Li Chunjun's current location, and as time passed, the areas "explored" by him and other human cultivators would increase, making the map more detailed.
At the same time, this map also marked the location of the human headquarters.
Li Chunjun glanced at it.
The nearest teammate was only a few hundred miles away, but the human headquarters was a full two hundred and eighty thousand miles from him.
The Two Realms Mountain stretched tens of millions of miles, and with its unique spatial structure, each continent isolated by space was like a maze.
Reaching the headquarters, if all went smoothly, would likely take one to two months.
"One to two months... then one to two months it is."
Li Chunjun leaped into the air, soaring into the sky.
However, after only a short flight, he noticed something: "The gravity in this area is higher than that of Blue Star."
This change, along with the completely different environment from Blue Star and the twisted, chaotic space, finally made Li Chunjun realize from the bottom of his heart that he had left Blue Star.
He had truly entered the vast, boundless universe.
And he had become a member under the Multitude-Tribes Hegemony War Committee, representing the human race, fighting in the Two Realms Mountain, resisting the Divine Race, and seizing this resource point that produced Void Crystal Stones.
"Tens of millions of square miles... deploying millions of people is like a drop in the ocean, but most of the Two Realms Mountain is a nebula zone, and the actual land is not much, so..."
Li Chunjun's powerful Divine Sense spread out.
Soon, a life form that looked similar to a human but had fish scales and fins was adapting to the surrounding environment.
The Divine Race would convert all intelligent beings into their Believers to enhance their power.
These beings were not limited to humans.
However, since Blue Star, where Li Chunjun lived, was predominantly human, the Divine Race Believers he saw were also humans.
"Probably equivalent to... a human True Core level."
Li Chunjun sensed the characteristics of this creature.
Very weak, the lowest level of cannon fodder on the battlefield of the Two Realms.
Yet, they are also the largest group of cultivators.
This time, the human race has deployed a full 1.6 million Core Formation cultivators for "redeeming their crimes through meritorious service."
Out of these 1.6 million Core Formation cultivators, it is estimated that around a million have reached the True Core Realm.
Compared to Core Formation cultivators, there are fewer than 40,000 Nascent Soul cultivators, making up less than 3% of the total.
Therefore, encountering True Core and Golden Core cultivators is the norm.
Li Chunjun flew on his sword.
When the distance between the two was still twenty to thirty miles, the Scarlet Sky Sword had already shot out.
At this range...
The alien Servitor had no awareness at all.
So much so that even after being pierced through the head by Li Chunjun's Flying Sword, it still didn't know where the death had come from.
...
"Killed a Level 22 creature, experience +71!"
...
[Life Level: 28 (45601/80000)]
...
Glancing at this number, Li Chunjun was momentarily stunned.
A two-digit number? How long has it been since he last saw a two-digit experience increase?
Theoretically, a True Core cultivator, which is a Level 22 creature, should yield an experience value of around 100 to 200, but this one only gave 71 points...
Especially since, in his perception, that alien Servitor was not weak among True Core cultivators.
Even after deducting the fact that the Divine Race had offered half of their "soul" to the Divine Spirit, the final value should have been in the range of 80 to 90.
71 points...
"High-level intelligent life."
Li Chunjun muttered this term.
He thought back to the time before he embarked on the path of cultivation, when he had slain "Blood Wolves," ferocious beasts that were no less formidable than Integration Martial Masters. He then glanced at the alien corpse...
And vaguely understood something.
However, his expression remained unchanged.
"If it's a high-level intelligent life... I remember there's also the concept of Innate Divine Beings in the world..."
The Undying Flaming Phoenix is the best example.
Such beings should be at the pinnacle of high-level intelligent life. As he pondered, Li Chunjun continued to rise into the air.
He didn't specifically head towards the base camp but instead searched within this area, simultaneously noting the locations of some nodes that could allow him to leave this continent's space.
In half an hour, Li Chunjun had cleared a thousand-mile radius, and twenty-four Divine Race Affiliates had fallen under his sword.
This provided him with an experience increase of 2411.
Although the increase from each individual was minimal...
The numbers were too large.
The total experience provided by these Affiliates combined had already surpassed what he had gained months ago from killing True Lord Ge Li of the Xian Tian Sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Battlefield of the Two Realms."
Li Chunjun's eyes flickered with light.
Not only did his experience increase, but his contribution points also grew rapidly through the slaughter.
The amount of experience he currently possessed was enough to exchange for ten Spirit Crystals.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something.
A Divine Spirit of the Divine Race was silently approaching him, having already encroached within fifty miles of him.
Divine Spirits are equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators.
This Divine Spirit clearly possessed strength comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet when facing him, a human who only displayed "early-stage Nascent Soul" strength, it still acted with extreme caution.
Even after approaching within fifty miles, it still made every effort to conceal its aura, ensuring it had sufficient strength before launching a fatal strike.
And...
This was the first Divine Spirit he had encountered since entering the battlefield of the Two Realms Mountain.
Upon their first encounter, it was a Divine Spirit equivalent to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Indeed, the real world was not a game.
It wasn't as if he was at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, and the first enemy he encountered would also be at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.
In such a battlefield environment, enemies of any level could suddenly appear.
It was precisely because of this uncertainty that some prodigies would fall on the Two Realms Mountain battlefield.
Similarly, it was also because of this uncertainty that those truly peerless prodigies would basically never set foot on the Multiverse Hegemony War battlefield.
Having "Prodigy"-level talents on the battlefield was already the limit.
For someone like Li Chunjun, a "Child of the Stars" with the potential to reach Void Refining in the future, to participate in the Multiverse Hegemony War at Two Realms Mountain, it could almost be said to be unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
"Mid-stage Nascent Soul..."
Li Chunjun did not show the slightest hint of surprise.
The Divine Race Believers were fanatical in spirit, which gave them higher resistance to Sword Intent and Divine Sense Mystical Powers compared to humans of the same realm.
To ensure absolute success, his best course of action was to turn the enemy's own plan against them!
Forty-five miles, forty miles, thirty-five miles, thirty miles...
This Divine Spirit of the Divine Race was continuously closing in, with such professionalism that any early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it impossible to detect even a trace of him.
Even Li Chunjun could only barely lock onto his position by relying on his Divine Sense and the vague telepathic connection brought by his life level.
For anyone else, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be uncertain whether they could track his exact location.
It was under such circumstances of mutual hunting between predator and prey that the Divine Spirit of the Divine Race finally entered within thirty miles of Li Chunjun.
At this distance...
He no longer had much confidence in being able to hide from Li Chunjun, and thus, he decisively took action.
A beam of light, condensed to its extreme, shot out in an instant.
And almost at the same moment he attacked, Li Chunjun suddenly awoke, unleashing a shocking Sword Intent that shook the void.
But how could the Evil God's Divine Spirit, who had already made his move, not be confident?
He immediately summoned a treasure, which erupted with a deafening thunderclap in the void.
The thunderclap seemed to contain a violent Divine Sense impact, forcefully dispersing the Destruction Sword Intent that Li Chunjun had unleashed.
Seizing this opportunity, the Evil God's Divine Spirit, with a fanatical expression, controlled the beam of light and shot it fiercely toward Li Chunjun's body.
In the moment when the distance between them was less than thirty miles, the beam of light took less than a breath to reach Li Chunjun, seemingly about to pierce through his body in the next second.
But at this very moment, the Evil God's Divine Spirit suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze sharply.
He saw a Flying Sword, unnoticed until now, piercing through the void with an overlooked sharpness, striking his body before the beam of light could reach Li Chunjun.
"Sword Cultivator!"
The Evil God's Divine Spirit let out a furious roar, and a treasure armor quickly appeared on his body.
But under the full-force Sword Qi of the Scarlet Sky Sword, a top-tier Mystic Treasure-level Flying Sword, the newly appeared armor was like a steel plate hit by a cannonball, instantly shattering and breaking apart.
The sharp Sword Qi, with an unshakable edge, instantly pierced through the head of this mid-stage Nascent Soul Divine Spirit, whistling past.
And at the moment his head was pierced, the beam of light also reached Li Chunjun's body.
However, since the long spear had lost its Divine Sense guidance and control at this moment, Li Chunjun sidestepped, and the spear, carrying a terrifying energy fluctuation, shot toward a mountain peak dozens of miles away.
Confidence!
This was the absolute confidence of a Sword Cultivator in his Flying Sword! Otherwise, if the speed at which the Flying Sword pierced through the Divine Spirit's head had been even a fraction slower...
He would have had to waste a fifth-grade protective Talisman.
A blinding flash of light instantly erupted from the mountain peak dozens of miles away, hurling countless boulders weighing hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of tons into the void, smashing them into the surrounding area.
The entire mountain peak was almost flattened by this single strike.
It wasn't until the intense light had already dissipated that the greatly weakened roar of the explosion finally reached them.
This was because the speed of sound propagation on this land was far slower than on Blue Star.
However, Li Chunjun paid no attention to this.
After briefly inspecting the rather "impoverished" spoils of war on the Divine Spirit's body, he turned without hesitation to his next target.
The battlefield was destined to be a feast of slaughter.
