Chapter 1255: Chapter 274: Into the Battlefield—Kill!

As Shi Tianjin led the team, the other veterans also quickly followed, each revealing their own aura, most were at the True Immortal Realm Seventh Level and Eighth Layer.

The others also kept up, all being at the True Immortal Realm Fifth Level. The only one at the True Immortal Eighth Layer here, Huo Xiaoqi, followed Li Hao as they took off together.

“Stay close to me.”

Huo Xiaoqi was extremely responsible and looked after Li Hao, fearing that he would get lost, and deliberately slowed down his speed.

Li Hao slightly increased his speed, reaching the level of the True Immortal Realm Fifth Level to avoid falling behind.

Seeing Li Hao’s swift movement technique, Huo Xiaoqi couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, and conveyed his astonishment: “Kid, you’re quite the dark horse, having such a movement technique. No wonder you have the courage to come to this border battlefield.”

Li Hao was taken aback, but then understood, and laughed: “Not too bad.”

Seeing Li Hao’s calm demeanor, Huo Xiaoqi immediately realized that this speed was not Li Hao’s limit, and if he really pushed it, he could possibly be at the True Immortal Realm Sixth Level. He felt a little more at ease and slightly increased his speed, following Li Hao at the end of the team.

They flew thousands of miles consecutively before reaching the edge of the city. This Qinghe Mo City was extremely vast, and their Wildfire Army’s camp was already near the outer battlefield, yet still had a diameter of several thousand miles.

Around them were other Wildfire Army camps, with millions of people moving forward simultaneously, with shadows all around them like a deluge of arrow rain, densely packed, creating a feeling of insignificance in the face of such a massive battlefield!

Before long, a vast golden light barrier covering the sky presented itself before their eyes.

The shadows in front of them shuttled through like raindrops, each turning golden as they passed through the barrier, as if becoming fireflies.

Outside the golden barrier, there was a scene of gloom, barbarism, and desolation.

Following Shi Tianjin through the barrier, Li Hao and others found themselves in an ancient starry battlefield.

Everywhere were flying rocks, suspended rubble, massive skeletons, broken bones, and scattered helmets and other objects.

Clearly, this was already an old battleground.

“Now we’re beyond the border defense line, be cautious of Ancient Demons lurking at any time, let’s move to the front lines!”

Shi Tianjin said, his eyes sharp.

Hearing his words, several veterans’ faces changed slightly, they glanced at Li Hao and the other newcomers but said nothing, following closely.

This time the speed was even faster, with Shi Tianjin performing consecutive short-distance Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movements, the others followed suit, soon having moved tens of thousands of miles away.

Along the way, there were rocks, wreckage, and the battlefield stretched immensely wide, giving Li Hao and other recruits a shock.

But since Li Hao had previously walked the ancient starry path, he wasn’t too surprised arriving on this battlefield now, given the scenes on the ancient starry path were even more tragic.

As they continued forward, suddenly, at a distant position, Li Hao’s Divine Sense at its limit saw countless clouds of glowing light, numerous Divine Lights bursting, immortal power condensing, accompanied by bursts of thunder, forming translucent thunder dragons, seas of red flames, and other Immortal Technique scenes.

Li Hao squinted his eyes, realizing they were already close to the front lines.

After advancing several hundred more miles, Shi Tianjin suddenly slowed down in front, saying: “We’re approaching the front lines, be careful.”

The others appeared puzzled, but as they continued forward, they finally noticed the intense battle scene ahead.

“Earlier, time was tight, hadn’t had a chance to properly explain to you how to accumulate Immortal Merits on the battlefield.”

Shi Tianjin paused, turned with a stern look and said:

“Slay an Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm First Level, one thousand Immortal Merits, two thousand for the Second Level, three thousand for the Third, and so on!”

“A single Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer of Perfection earns you ten thousand Immortal Merits!”

“Kill ten, that’s one hundred thousand, and one hundred thousand Immortal Merits directly allow you to apply to join the Tiger Lion Army as a camp leader, or even use connections to enter the Peacock Army!”

The veterans all knew this, while Li Hao and other recruits quietly recorded it down.

“And how should Immortal Merits be distributed? We are the Yinglong Yuwu Camp, establishing Immortal Merits is in two ways: independently hunt down Ancient Demons, earn as many Immortal Merits as demons killed!

The other way is to follow the army, that is, with me, to form formations to kill Ancient Demons, in this way, for every Ancient Demon hunted, half of the military merits go to me, and the rest is split per head among you!”

He glanced at Li Hao and the other recruits, saying: “Independent hunting of Ancient Demons yields more Immortal Merits, but in this battlefield beyond the domains, with no backup, one could fall at any moment. Formations killing Ancient Demons may halve the Immortal Merits, but it wins in safety, the collective effort also avoids casualties.”

Hearing this, many people nodded slightly, and someone said: “I’d like to form formations, please lead us, camp leader.”

Shi Tianjin looked at the one speaking, nodded slightly, and said: “No problem, but our camp has rules, divided according to cultivation realms. They are all veterans and naturally put more effort in formations to kill Ancient Demons, contributing more, so when dividing per head, their ratio will also increase. You are new, surviving is good enough, Immortal Merits will accordingly be reduced, any objections?”

Upon hearing, the many recruits looked at each other, showing some difficulty, but no one objected.

“Very well, since there’s no objection, let’s go.”

Shi Tianjin was about to turn around.

Li Hao suddenly said: “Wait a moment, uh, I’d like to hunt Ancient Demons alone.”

Hearing Li Hao’s words, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him, stunned, gazing at Li Hao as if seeing a ghost.

The one with the lowest cultivation level dared to propose going solo to hunt?

Shi Tianjin was also taken aback, showing a bit of speechlessness in his eyes, but soon it turned into a contemptuous sneer, low cultivation and foolish, truly courting death!
