Since nominally becoming a Venerable, Ender's authority had greatly increased, allowing him to inquire about the Human faction's openly known Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords.
Although Venerable You Hou was a Disciple of the never-before-seen Darkness Master, he was one of the Human faction's openly known Universe Overlords and was within the searchable range.
This made Ender realize that the future You Hou Master was currently still a Universe Overlord, and in terms of strength, he was still inferior to his Senior Brother, Venerable You Mo.
"Senior Brother, Venerable You Hou," Ender greeted, nodding.
"You Mo, you're taking Void River to participate in The Great Battle; aren't you afraid he'll be besieged as soon as he shows himself?"
Venerable You Hou glanced at Ender, then turned and chuckled strangely, "He has at least one ordinary Arcana Treasure on him, and the three races have offered an ordinary Arcana Treasure as a bounty for him. If he's killed via Soul enslaved, they'll even offer a high-grade Arcana Treasure."
"Now that he has become a Venerable, it's likely the three races will soon raise the bounty. If he falls then... hehe."
"This Venerable You Hou..." Ender frowned slightly.
Being looked down upon to his face made him quite displeased, even if this person was the future You Hou Master.
"No need to worry."
Venerable You Mo's hoarse voice sounded, "Void River's strength is very great; even you would have difficulty killing him quickly."
"Oh?!"
Hearing this, Venerable You Hou looked at Ender, clearly not quite believing it.
Venerable You Mo replied, "In the war against the Muqi Alliance, Void River once directly fought Venerable Fu Xie without falling into a disadvantage, his strength is already close to a Universe Overlord."
"Hmm? Close to a Universe Overlord!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable You Hou's gaze towards Ender changed to surprise.
As one of Venerable You Mo's few good friends, he knew he wouldn't speak carelessly and gradually believed that Ender possessed strength close to a Universe Overlord.
And facing a potential new talent who had just become a Venerable and already possessed strength close to a Universe Overlord, Venerable You Hou didn't want to make their relationship too stiff.
What's more, Ender was a Disciple of his Junior Martial Uncle, so nominally, they could be considered Senior Brothers.
Of course, his identity was a secret, known to very few in the Virtual Universe Company and even the entire Human faction.
Venerable You Hou's face showed apology, "Void River, I apologize for what I just said."
"It's nothing."
Seeing Venerable You Hou apologize, Ender's displeasure dissipated, and he shook his head slightly, "I've gotten used to it recently."
"Haha, in that case, that means slapping them hard in the face!"
Venerable You Hou showed an expression of anticipation, looking like he wanted to watch a show.
"Let's go."
At this moment, Venerable You Mo's hoarse voice sounded again, "We're going to the Seventh Battlefield."
As the World Power fluctuations appeared, an Immortal plant life form materialized out of thin air. The next moment, a brilliant light lit up on that plant life form...
... ...
Extraterritorial Battlefield, Seventh Battlefield.
On a meteor suspended in the endless Void, a brilliant light suddenly shone, and then three figures appeared within that light.
Venerable You Mo spoke amidst the gradually dimming brilliant light, "This Immortal Energy coordinate is closest to Barracks Base 035, so let's go there first."
"Barracks Base 035 is not far from the Star Tower."
Venerable You Hou, who was beside them, said, "The main battlefield for this Great Battle will likely unfold near the Star Tower."
Ender nodded upon hearing this. Just as Venerable You Hou said, due to the presence of the Star Tower, an Arcana treasure, the surrounding space was much more solid than other places, making it very suitable to place the main battlefield near the Star Tower.
If it weren't for the Star Tower's internal division into numerous spaces, making rescue difficult, perhaps the three races would have placed the main battlefield inside the Star Tower, simultaneously competing for Sealed Star while fighting.
"Let's go."
Venerable You Mo enveloped Ender and the other person with his Immortal Energy and instantly moved towards the nearest Barracks Base 035.
The next moment, the three appeared near Barracks Base 035. With their naked eyes, they could easily see the majestic and enormous Barracks Base.
"Come in."
Venerable You Hou took out a pure black Universe spaceship. After the hatch opened, he entered first, and once all three had entered the spaceship.
The spaceship started, quickly approaching light speed, and in two or three seconds, it arrived outside the Spiritual God Base.
Unlike the spaceships ridden by World Masters, Immortal, and other soldiers participating in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the pure black spaceship did not accept control from the base's System. It merely slowed down before entering the Barracks Base.
... ...
Inside the Barracks Base, in front of a reception platform.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
"Quick!!!"
A purple-robed King-level Immortal, exuding considerable pressure, was urging the uniformed World Masters and Immortal.
The uniformed World Master Immortal were seen arriving as streaks of light from various directions, landing on the reception platform and lining up.
"All line up properly, and show your best mental state!"
The purple-robed King-level Immortal transmitted his voice over a wide area, "Don't embarrass our Barracks Base 035!!"
In the distance.
An elite squad that had just returned from the battlefield was very surprised to see numerous Barracks Base staff lining up.
"What's going on? So many Immortal have come."
"They seem to be welcoming someone?"
"It should be..."
A member of this elite squad asked the white-robed World Master who was receiving them, "Do you know what's happening?"
"Don't ask!"
The white-robed World Master said sternly, "You all just stay here for now; you can leave after that's over."
"Why?"
A World Master General with some background said indignantly, "We were here first!"
"Heh!"
The white-robed World Master scoffed upon hearing this, "It seems you have some background, but even if the King-level Immortal expert behind you came, they'd still have to wait here!"
"You..."
The World Master General was about to speak when he was pulled back by the Immortal captain beside him.
The Immortal captain quickly said, "We'll just wait here; we won't cause you any trouble."
After speaking, he transmitted his voice to the World Master General, "Don't make a fuss. I estimate it's a Universe Venerable-level expert descending; otherwise, a King-level Immortal wouldn't come to greet them."
"Universe Venerable?!"
Upon hearing this, the World Master General immediately felt a lingering fear. He almost caused great trouble!
If he truly offended an expert of a Universe Venerable's caliber, he would only have a dead end, and even his teacher couldn't protect him.
Perhaps such a great existence wouldn't care about a small fry like him, but those numerous King-level Immortal experts who wanted to curry favor with the Universe Venerable would think of killing him to claim credit!
Having received the warning from the white-robed reception World Master, this elite squad dared not do anything but wait obediently.
Before long, a pure black Universe spaceship arrived, stopping on the spacious reception platform. Seeing the black spaceship approach, the uniformed World Master Immortal all bowed respectfully, not daring to look directly.
With a "hiss," the black spaceship's hatch opened.
Boom!
A terrifying aura of pressure surged out the moment the hatch opened, enveloping the numerous World Master Immortal present.
"What a terrifying pressure!"
"This pressure is too strong, a hundred or a thousand times stronger than any King-level Immortal I've ever seen!"
Enveloped by the powerful pressure, the World Master Immortal were all greatly alarmed, trembling and lowering their heads, not daring to make any movement, fearing that they would make a mistake and be crushed to death by that terrifying pressure!
Ender was the first to step out of the spaceship. He saw the numerous Barracks Base staff lined up, trembling under his slightly restrained pressure, as weak as ants.
And it was true. With his pure Immortal Energy, which was 80 times stronger than an ordinary Universe Venerable's, he could annihilate most of the World Master and Immortals present just by relying on his Immortal Energy pressure.
"Which Venerable is this..."
The purple-robed King-level Immortal was about to step forward to salute when he saw two more great existences, exuding even more terrifying auras, appear behind him!
"Three... three Universe Venerables!"
The purple-robed King-level Immortal was inwardly shaken. This was his first time seeing so many Universe Venerables in reality!
"Hmm?"
Venerable You Hou's gaze turned to the purple-robed King-level Immortal.
Being watched by a Venerable, the purple-robed King-level Immortal instantly snapped back to his senses and hastily bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Venerable!"
"Greetings, Venerable!"
The uniformed World Master Immortal followed suit, bowing with utmost respect.
Venerable You Hou looked down at the purple-robed King-level Immortal, "Is the Venerable's residence in the Barracks Base still there?"
"Replying to Venerable, it is still there," the purple-robed King-level Immortal replied respectfully.
"Lead the way."
Venerable You Hou commanded.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed King-level Immortal flew at low altitude in front, leading the way.
"We came early, so the Venerable's residence here is unoccupied. This saves us from having to go to other Barracks Bases."
Venerable You Hou transmitted his voice while being the first to follow the purple-robed King-level Immortal.
Ender immediately checked in the Virtual Universe upon hearing this.
It turned out that during the intense period of conflict between the four races, each Barracks Base had a Venerable's residence, specially built for the stationed Universe Venerables.
However, as the conflict in the Extraterritorial Battlefield stabilized, even though more and more Extraterritorial Battlefields were opened and more Barracks Bases were built, the number of stationed Universe Venerables became extremely small.
Normally, a battlefield should have a Universe Venerable stationed, but often, battlefields had no Universe Venerable stationed.
And that Venerable's residence would only be occupied by some Universe Venerables during The Great Battle period, remaining empty at other times.
this Great Battle was unusual. In addition to numerous Human faction Universe Venerables advancing into the Seventh Battlefield, many Universe Venerables from the Hong Alliance also took up residence.
As a result, the Venerable's residences in the 100 Barracks Bases of the Seventh Battlefield would become scarce.
In Ender's opinion, this might be why his Senior Brother, Venerable You Mo, came to the Seventh Battlefield in advance.
... ...
Soon.
Under the guidance of the purple-robed King-level Immortal, the three arrived at an incredibly vast space, containing various environments such as oceans, continents, islands, and ice plains.
Compared to the islands where King-level Immortal resided, any single island in this Venerable's residence was larger than the former's islands, not to mention the more expansive oceans and continents!
"Void River, just find a place to stay wherever you like."
Venerable You Hou reminded, "Oh, right, you now have some military authority. You can check its specific functions yourself."
With that, Venerable You Hou transformed into a streak of light and flew towards an island in the distance.
"You rest for a while. Once a large number of Venerables from the race and the Hong Alliance enter this Seventh Battlefield, you won't have such leisure time."
Senior Brother Venerable You Mo finished speaking and transformed into a dark red streak of light, flying in another direction.
"Military authority, huh..."
Upon hearing this, Ender's gaze swept across the surrounding environment, finally flying towards a mountain Pinnacle on the distant continent.
While flying, his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, and he began to check his authority within the military System.
Inside the palace on the mountainside of the Thunder Island Central Mountains.
"Not only can I view the coordinates of most active and free soldiers, but I can also view the combat recordings of the vast majority of soldiers."
Ender sat on the throne at the end of the palace, with a light screen in front of him showing a recording of a Human faction King-level Immortal battling a Demon race King-level Immortal.
Because he was an Advanced Universe Venerable and a Human faction Venerable, his authority had greatly increased.
Unlike the clan representative Venerables in the Hong Alliance, who needed to apply to the military System to view combat recordings, Ender did not need to!
Except for a few with special identities, such as core Geniuses or Immortal from the five Leviathans of Humanity like the Huge Axe Dojo and Virtual Universe Company, Ender could view the coordinates and combat recordings of all other soldiers.
"I've long heard that the Star Tower's Sealed Star scramble is incredibly brutal, and Pinnacle stage King-level Immortal experts can often only barely save their lives. Let me see just how brutal it is."
Through his authority, Ender searched the military System for combat recordings of Human faction King-level Immortal fighting inside the Star Tower when the Sealed Star appeared.
Dozens of light screens rose in the palace, and he multitasked, watching the combat recordings.
In just half a minute, about ten of those dozens of light screens disappeared, meaning the owners of the recordings on those light screens had fallen.
"It's certainly brutal enough... Just because obtaining a Sealed Star might lead to the secret of recognizing the Star Tower as its master, Limit stage King-level Immortal or Invincible King experts poured into the Star Tower one after another."
Ender shook his head slightly, "But how could they know that the owner of the Star Tower had already been decided? Only the Earth lineage of Sitting Mountain Guest's junior Disciple, after Cultivating the Nine Calamities Secret Manual, could recognize it as its master."
"No matter how brutal these King-level Immortal fought, no matter how many King-level Immortal fell, they could only obtain the ordinary Seal-type Heavy Treasure, 'Sealed Star.'"
Of course, Ender knew that the occasional fall of King-level Immortal in battle was nothing compared to the struggle when the Star Tower first appeared.
After all, when the Star Tower, a Xeon Arcana treasure, fell into this Seventh Battlefield, countless experts fought and competed for it, and even Universe Masters fell during that time.
However, as more experts fell, those who tried to refine the Star Tower discovered that no one could successfully recognize it as their master, so fewer and fewer experts came to the Seventh Battlefield to attempt refining the Star Tower.
"I remember the original work mentioned that Flame Emperor once came to this Seventh Battlefield to try refining the Star Tower, but he still failed."
Ender's consciousness closed all the light screens in the palace, "Speaking of which, the Flame God Race's departure seems to have been tacitly approved by the highest levels of the race."
"I just returned from the war against the Muqi Alliance and found that the Flame God Race had already migrated, even their ancestral star, their place of origin, had been moved away."
"If there was no tacit approval from the race, it would be impossible for the Flame God Race to migrate without any leak of information."
He thought, "Perhaps the battlefield against the Muqi Alliance was caused by Flame Emperor or the Flame God Race; otherwise, they wouldn't have migrated as an entire race just as the war began."
"I remember the original work mentioned that the Flame God Race once joined the Extraterritorial Battlefield as an opposing faction."
"I wonder when the Flame God Race joined the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Perhaps I can capture a Flame God Race member with Soldier Armor or General Armor on them to study."
Ender's eyes lit up slightly, "Previously, the Flame God Race was a member of the Human faction, so I couldn't act against them. Now, it's different!"
Due to his 'ancient' Artifact Refining Legacy, Ender felt he could try to study the Flame God Race's battle armor, perhaps gaining some insights.
... ...
Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
As numerous Universe Venerables from the Human faction and the Hong Alliance entered the Seventh Battlefield, the fighting among the Immortal and lower-ranked soldiers in the Seventh Battlefield became increasingly fierce!
