Chapter 597: Conflict with the Izumo Empire

The ninth training camp is naturally inferior to the first training camp, but the emergence of this training camp still caused the atmosphere of Aegis city to become much more lively.

Most of the people who come here are here because of this training camp. Everyone knows that this training camp has just been established. It mustn’t be better than the first training camp, but this is the second training camp directly under the jurisdiction of the Metaverse league. It mightn’t be very good now, but its prospects are limitless.

For those who come here, the children of every family have enrollment qualifications, so on the first day the training camp opened, a large number of people came to the gate of the training camp and began to sign up.

The training camp is divided into three parts: the teaching department, the accommodation department, and the training department. It’s just that each part is still under construction. Although most of the work has been done, many parts still need to be worked on.

It can be said that the current ninth training camp is just a semi-finished product.

The ninth training camp is not yet fully qualified, so it’s only recruiting the first batch of students. Fang Yun planned to recruit 1000 people first, but the quota was instantly filled. Although he knew that this would be the result, he still felt a bit helpless.

Many people returned in disappointment, but they also got Fang Yun’s guarantee that the training camp will soon recruit more students and that they don’t need to wait for long.

The reason why the Ninth Training Camp was established in Aegis city is not only to train new students but also to resist the possible invasion of other forces.

Moreover, its existence can also allow the people of the Gama Empire to integrate into the Metaverse more quickly.

While Fang Yun was paying attention to the ninth training camp, Nebula was also steadily occupying the territory of the Gama Empire.

Now that the lord of the Gama Empire and most of the top combat power have fallen into Fang Yun’s hands, the entire country fell into chaos. It’s like scattered sand, unable to offer decent resistance.

Therefore, when Nebula and the Metaverse fleet invaded, they didn’t have to use much effort.

About half a year later, Nebula occupied most of the territory of the Gama Empire, but what’s stopping him now is not the original forces of the Gama Empire, but the fleet of the Izumo Empire.

“My lord, should we continue to move forward now?”

Nebula asked Fang Yun.

“We received a message from the Izumo Empire. They say that they are willing to resolve this matter peacefully.”

“Haha, after seizing our turf, they want to settle this matter peacefully now?”

Fang Yun shook his head and said.

“Keep moving forward, nothing can hinder us!”

Hearing this, Nebula’s body shook with excitement.

“My lord, I understand.” He respectfully said.

Nebula led the way. Back on the front line, the military commander Luo Feng also got the news. He looked at the opposite Izumo Empire fleet with narrowed eyes.

“Judging from the lord’s action, he doesn’t want to negotiate with the Izumo Empire at all, but he is also right. There should be no obstacles in front of us.”

“The Izumo Empire that took advantage of the situation to invade isn’t worthy of talking peacefully with us.”

Muttering under his breath, Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly sharpened. The long blade in his hand suddenly pointed forward and the cultivators in front of him immediately headed forward.

“kill!”

Suddenly, shouting and killing filled this space. Countless beams of light flew towards the opposite Izumo Empire’s fleet.

“Damn it!”

In the Izumo Fleet, many soldiers were frightened or angered by this action, cursing under their breath.

They thought that the Metaverse was going to seek peace with them after such a long war. But it launched an attack without even seeking a chance to negotiate.

“Group defensive formation!”

The leader of the Izumo fleet loudly shouted, causing the fleet to quickly deform.

In just a short time, they formed a defensive formation. An energy barrier connected all the ships of the fleet, spreading across an area of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

However, facing such a defensive formation, Luo Feng didn’t seem to care. He sprinted in the forefront, his aura became more and more turbulent.

During this period of time, his cultivation level has improved again, although he still hasn’t reached mid domain master, he is near the peak of early domain master.

Before charging, Luo Feng had thoroughly examined the opposite fleet. He didn’t find a cultivator of a similar level, but while moving forward, he was still on full guard.

“Boom!”

Luo Feng sprinted towards the middle point of the defensive formation, transforming into a giant energy spear and ramming into the defensive formation with a power beyond that of a supernova.

The middle point of the energy formation was instantly shattered, but at this moment, a fierce aura rose from the edge of the fleet, it was a powerful domain master-level powerhouse.

“Sure enough, they are hiding in the fleet, planning to launch a sneak attack. However, I have been prepared for a long time.”

The aura that erupted on the opposite side was particularly tyrannical. It looked like a mid-level domain master, but Luo Feng’s face still showed no fear. He violently collided with the enemy master.

As the heaven-shaking battle between the two domain masters started, the two fleets finally collided.

In fact, the fleet of the Izumo Empire did not have much advantage over the Metaverse. This Empire has a powerful world master, but domain masters are the most powerful beings participating in this battle. Moreover, their number isn’t that great.

Therefore, there is no qualitative difference between them. Even if the Metaverse league is worse, but its combat power and morale are still very high. Moreover, they have the advantage in terms of the more technologically advanced ships.

The two armies fought a war here, various laser and energy beams collided, and soon a large number of ships exploded. Even some planet and star-level masters died from the most powerful starship attacks.

In such a battlefield, planet-level cultivators can’t even take care of themselves. They might get killed as a result of a single mistake.

Not only did the planet-level cultivators of the Izumo Empire die, but the same was true on the side of the Metaverse.

Fang Yun, Nebula, and the others could clearly observe the situation of the battlefield. Nebula especially paid close attention to the battlefield, seeing the grim situation on the battlefield, his brows scrunched.

Among these soldiers, there are many who he watched grow up, but right now he can only act as a bystander, watching them die from the side.

“Haah…”

At this moment, Nebula saw a young warrior he knew getting slapped by an enemy cultivator into a meat pie and suddenly sighed, but he quickly suppressed this emotion. He had seen too many similar scenes across his life, he had learned to suppress his emotion and put rationality above all a long time ago.

The only thing that he is truly concerned about now is the Metaverse. If something happens that might cause great losses to the Metaverse, he might not be able to suppress his emotions. For example, Luo Feng falling into danger and even death.

In his view, Luo Feng is related to the future of the entire Metaverse.

In this battle, the two sides finally came to a truce, because no one could really stop the other. After Nebula saw Luo Feng retreat safely, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Luo Feng, how about it, were you injured?”

After Luo Feng returned to the camp, Nebula worriedly asked him.

“Thank you Master Nebula for your concern, I was not injured.”

In fact, Luo Feng was indeed slightly injured, but with the regeneration speed of a domain master, he doesn’t need to worry about that, he just needs some rest.

Luo Feng looked full of energy. He had an inexplicable expression of excitement on his face.

This was because he had a hearty battle with the enemy’s mid-stage domain master-level powerhouse. It caused him to discover some shortcomings in his cultivation.

“Master Nebula, I have some insights again, I may have to practice in retreat for a while.” Luo Feng said apologetically to Xingyun.

Hearing this, Nebula was overjoyed.

“Since you have a new insight, go and practice quickly, don’t delay your own practice.” Nebula said with a smile.

“Yes, sir.”

Luo Feng nodded, then turned off the communication watch and walked to a quiet and remote room.

The Metaverse and the Izumo Empire maintained such a stalemate for the next period of time. In fact, if Fang Yun takes action, there would be no need to do this at all. With his power, he can directly annihilate the enemy fleet and even the entire Izumo Empire.

Anyway, the Izumo Empire can’t pose much of a threat to them, so Fang Yun didn’t pay much attention to the battle on the front line. He is more concerned with the follow-up development of the Metaverse league.

He now hopes that more great geniuses like Luo Feng will emerge from the Metaverse, releasing more of his burdens.

Therefore, he is prepared to pay close attention to the construction of the Metaverse’s training camps and academy during this period.

As for the Izumo Empire, he has long since regarded it as a whetstone for the Metaverse.

The ninth training camp was built very quickly. The second phase of the academy’s development was completed and the second batch of trainees could be recruited immediately. However, with the increase in the number of students, the number of instructors gradually became tight.

Fang Yun originally planned to continue transferring instructors from the first training camp, but after realizing that this is kind of redundant, he began to select the veterans from the battlefield.

The cultivation bases of these veterans varied greatly. The weaker ones were just gods of war. Moreover, the majority of instructors he brought back were God of Wars.

Fang Yun feels that these God of War level cultivators are enough to teach the basics and train lower-level students. As for those geniuses, they need more powerful teachers to teach. If they show enough talent, they can naturally be trained by the best instructors of the camp. If not, they can only join general classes like the rest.

The quotas of the ninth training camp were much sought after. Most of the parents and children in Aegis city and even the satellite cities started wrecking their brains to think of a way to get that quota.

In fact, satellite city is closer to the first training camp in the Great Cosmic city, but the threshold of the first training camp is much higher. That’s without mentioning the great competition.

In a blink of an eye, another three years passed.

During these three years, Fang Yun’s cultivation level has improved again. First of all, his size can already stretch over an entire solar system, but that wasn’t the most important.

He is already close to the immortal king level. Fang Yun felt that he was just a step away.

Immortal kings are considered as a powerful existence even across the entire ancient universe. Even in the center of the ancient universe, cultivators of this level are considered giants.

The increase in Fang Yun’s current cultivation base is very noticeable. It caused the higher-ups of the Metaverse to feel very nervous. On one hand, they are naturally very happy that Fang Yun’s cultivation and power are getting higher and higher.

In this way, their Metaverse will become a feared existence amongst many Empires. However, they are also afraid. They are afraid that with the increase in his power, Fang Yun will eventually leave them.

No matter how strong they become in the future, deep in his heart, Nebula still doesn’t want Fang Yun to leave. After all, when the Metaverse was the most desperate, Fang Yun stepped forward to save them.

Nebula was naturally grateful to Fang Yun from the depth of his heart.

He has truly regarded this cosmic serpent as their leader, something that he couldn’t imagine a few decades ago.

Compared to the help and protection Fang Yun provides them with, the energy stones and matter they provide him are nothing!

Fang Yun didn’t care about Nebula’s inner thoughts, he just paid attention to the ninth training camp and satellite city as usual.

Now the first satellite city has been completely built, and the manpower on it has been arranged. Almost all its defense forces were drawn from the leading fleet.

Fang Yun decided that it’s going to be the first and last time. The next time, they must draw forces from the two training camps.

Speaking of training camps, the ninth training camp can accommodate more than 100,000 students. It’s naturally quite inferior to the first training camp. In fact, it’s even a bit worse than the head institutions of other regions.

However, the ninth training camp didn’t stop its process of expansion. Fang Yun plans to make this training camp into the largest training camp in the entire alliance.

The first training camp focuses more on quality. Its main target is the elites and geniuses of the Metaverse league. The ninth training camp on the other hand is more about quantity, it relies on its large student base and fierce competition to create top powerhouses.

Cultivation isn’t about talent, will, character, hard work, luck, and many other factors that decide whether someone can truly become a powerhouse.

Compared with the first training camp, the ninth training camp is taking the civilian route, but Fang Yun feels that the top students who will come out of the ninth training camp in the future will become the pillars of the Metaverse

Even if they won’t be as good as the students in the first training camp, they will be much more powerful than the students of other academies.

Back on the front line, Luo Feng and his fleet are still confronting the previous fleet, but the scale of the battle has been greatly toned down.

However, according to the latest intelligence, the Izumo fleet has already called for reinforcements.
