Chapter 1066: 1066 **Chapter 1066: The Challenge from the Second on the Ranking** 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 After making a small enhancement to the Elemental Lich, Lin Moyu bought some more items. He purchased ten God King-level teleportation talismans. These talismans allow the user to instantly break through blockades and teleport up to a million kilometers away, with the direction being controllable. They are a lifesaver on the battlefield, and many people buy a few just in case. Lin Moyu was no exception, spending 50,000 points on each talisman, totaling 500,000 points for ten. Next, he bought ten God King-level thunder talismans, spending another 500,000 points. Each thunder talisman is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a third-tier God King. They use the law of thunder, which, although a third-tier law, still packs a significant punch. Lin Moyu would have preferred better talismans, but there were none available, and even if there were, he might not have been able to afford them. In the blink of an eye, 5 million of his 8.78 million points were spent. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but sigh at how quickly points could be used up. He didn’t consider that most people at the True God level wouldn’t be buying God King-level items. For example, a True God-level thunder talisman only costs a few thousand points each. Lin Moyu lamented the high prices as he left the trading center. Walking down the street, he was once again the subject of much pointing and whispering. Being the number one on the Potential Ranking, he attracted a lot of attention. However, after listening to Zhuang Bi’s advice, Lin Moyu didn’t mind the attention. He now understood that the bigger his reputation, the better it would be for his future plans. As he approached the teleportation array, Lin Moyu prepared to head to the battlefield. The battlefield was over 50,000 light-years away, far beyond the Vermilion Bird Domain. Even using the large teleportation array of the No. 10 Star System, he would need to make several transfers to reach his destination. The cost for the 50,000 light-year journey was also steep, totaling 5,000 points. Just before departure, Lin Moyu received a message from the Human Sovereign Network. The sender was Zhang Ziyue, a name Lin Moyu recognized as the second on the Potential Ranking. Before Lin Moyu took the top spot, Zhang Ziyue had been number one. Now, Zhang Ziyue had sent a challenge letter, wanting to fight Lin Moyu to prove that he should be the top-ranked. Such challenges were common among those on the Potential Ranking. While the Human Sovereign Network’s rankings were generally accurate, potential did not always equate to actual combat power. Real battles also depended on practical experience, on-the-spot performance, psychological state, and the strength of one’s techniques. Especially in life-and-death battles, external factors could have a significant impact. It wasn’t unheard of for those ranked lower to defeat those ranked higher in the same realm. In such cases, the Human Sovereign Network would promptly adjust the rankings. Receiving Zhang Ziyue’s challenge letter did not surprise Lin Moyu. He had anticipated that Zhang Ziyue, and even those ranked third and fourth, would challenge him. However, Lin Moyu’s response was straightforward: "No time." After sending his reply, Lin Moyu activated the teleportation array and, amidst a brilliant light, headed to the battlefield. The teleportation was a long one. During the transfer, the starry sky twisted into dazzling light, quickly receding behind him. Lin Moyu felt as if he were witnessing the changes in the starry sky, traveling countless light-years in an instant, disappearing into the cosmos. The journey of tens of thousands of light-years required several transfers. The large teleportation array was fast, reaching a speed of one light-year per second. Even so, it would take Lin Moyu over ten minutes to reach his destination. In a section of the starry sky, Zhang Ziyue had just completed a task. He received Lin Moyu’s reply. The mere two words made Zhang Ziyue’s anger surge. To be so bluntly rejected, Zhang Ziyue’s eyes flashed coldly. "Don’t think you can refuse my challenge just like that. The top spot on the Potential Ranking is mine." His eyes turned, and he quickly came up with an idea. "If that’s the case, I’ll force you to accept the challenge. Even if you hold the top spot on the Potential Ranking, you won’t gain any faith power if you don’t accept my challenge." Zhang Ziyue sent out several messages, leveraging his connections. He wasn’t from an ordinary family but from a prominent one, and he held a significant position within it, with many friends. At his request, messages quickly spread to every corner of the Vermilion Bird Domain. The main content of these messages was that Lin Moyu, the top-ranked on the Potential Ranking, was afraid to accept Zhang Ziyue’s challenge. Some even claimed that Lin Moyu’s reputation was undeserved and that his actual combat power was not impressive. Zhang Ziyue hoped to use this method to pressure Lin Moyu into accepting his challenge. Unfortunately for him, all his efforts were in vain. Lin Moyu was no longer in the Vermilion Bird Domain; he had already entered the battlefield, stepping into another world. The oppressive atmosphere hit him as he saw an unusual starry sky. The sky seemed shrouded in a blood-red hue. Although the starry sky should have no smell, it seemed to be filled with the scent of blood. Lin Moyu couldn’t imagine the level of slaughter required to create such an effect. He knew it was an illusion, but it was caused by the pervasive killing intent and bloodlust. "Leave the teleportation array!" a low voice commanded. A soldier in armor shouted at Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu nodded and immediately left. The soldier said no more; his task was merely to guard the teleportation array. Many first-timers like Lin Moyu would often stand dazed in the array. If not snapped out of it, they might stand there for half a day, affecting the array’s operation. Lin Moyu scanned the area. There were a hundred large teleportation arrays, with people arriving frequently. This was the battlefield of the Vermilion Bird Domain, known as the Vermilion Bird Battlefield. The battlefield was vast, reportedly larger than the entire human-occupied star domain. Lin Moyu didn’t know how the battlefield was formed; no one had told him why, and even the soldiers here wouldn’t know why. A soldier’s duty is to obey, knowing only what they need to do, not why they need to do it. Lin Moyu’s information was limited. He only knew that many races fought here for resources. The Vermilion Bird Battlefield was rich in resources and fiercely contested. Unlike the human borderlines, which involved battles between two or three races, the battlefield could see hundreds of races in chaotic warfare. This was just the battlefield of the Vermilion Bird Domain. There were three other such battlefields, each managed by one of the other three star domains. It was said that the division of human star domains was related to the number of battlefields. After learning about the battlefield, Lin Moyu became very interested. He couldn’t understand why such an area existed or how the battlefield was formed. Now, being here, he could truly feel the battlefield’s atmosphere. Outside the teleportation array, there were guiding markers. A huge light beam connected to a star fortress in the battlefield, the first stop for everyone. Here, they could take on tasks and then head to the corresponding areas to execute them. Following the light beam’s guidance, Lin Moyu flew billions of kilometers in the Battle King Tower and finally saw the star fortress.
