On the fringes of Jiuyan Marsh, skirmishes at the level of the Masters of Law were erupting. Neither side had sent True Gods to intervene. For the two great powers, these minor clashes among their Masters of Law served as crucial tempering before the final grand confrontation.
For Jiuyan Marsh and Xuan Yu Mountain, True Gods were the true backbone of their fighting strength.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Burly, imposing figures stamped forward, making the great earth tremble, charging madly toward hordes of strange beasts.
These imposing men, if placed in the Sea of Universe, would each represent the pillar of an entire race.
As for the strange beasts, any single one of them, placed in the Sea of Universe, could rival a Beast God.
Only in a divine land like the Jin World could the space remain stable enough to effortlessly withstand the intensity of this conflict. In the Primal Universe or the Universe Sea, the space would have long since shattered.
“Boom!” A strange beast tumbled, letting out a hiss as it lunged, its fangs flashing with a chilling light.
Arms swung and shouted orders as a massive axe descended!
In this entire region, the two sides fought with unparalleled ferocity.
“Retreat! The Alliance Master commands an immediate withdrawal!”
“The Alliance Master commands an immediate withdrawal.”
The tribal warriors from the Xuan Yu Mountain side—messages were suddenly transmitted through the communication tokens carried by their three leading warriors. This caused the previously frenzied tribal warriors to instantly shift their focus.
“Brothers, the Alliance Master commands retreat.”
“Retreat.”
“Retreat.”
As the orders were given, this large contingent of tribal warriors fought while falling back, then swiftly boarded warships and sped away into the distance. They left behind only the enraged roars of the strange beasts who could not catch them.
“Retreat!”
“The Alliance Master commands retreat!”
“Retreat, the Alliance Master commands retreat!”
At almost the same moment, across the entire periphery of Jiuyan Marsh, massive groups of tribal warriors—whether already engaged in combat or lying in ambush, waiting for action—all received the command. These teams instantly began to quietly withdraw, quickly departing the boundaries of Jiuyan Marsh.
“Strange,” Luo Feng, who had been quietly concealed and advancing, suddenly stopped. “How come I can’t find a single expert from Xuan Yu Mountain?”
“Silver River, Silver River, why can’t we see any experts from the Xuan Yu Mountain Tribal Alliance? How are you going to implement your plan then? How will you provoke them?” Wu He asked anxiously.
Luo Feng shook his head slightly.
He didn’t know either…
According to his calculations, for this scale of massive minor conflicts, the Xuan Yu Mountain side must have deployed at least a million Masters of Law. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to allow so many Masters of Law to risk themselves here without protection. There must certainly be True Gods covertly guarding them! Preventing any unforeseen incidents.
Luo Feng’s goal was to find a True God from the ‘Xuan Yu Mountain’ side!
“Forget True Gods, we can’t even find a single Master of Law,” Wu He said, frustrated and helpless. “If this continues, when will we complete the mission assigned by the army? Ten thousand military merits!”
“Stop the nonsense,” Luo Feng said, equally annoyed.
The Xuan Yu Mountain forces, which had been common sights moments ago, had clearly vanished entirely.
This troubled Luo Feng.
If Xuan Yu Mountain truly withdrew completely and stopped interfering… then the opportunity for ‘the snipe and the clam fighting, leaving the fisherman to profit’ would be lost.
“Why did they stop fighting?”
“We previously discovered six locations where Xuan Yu Mountain and Jiuyan Marsh were clashing. Why are they suddenly gone?” More than ten figures were concealed in the undergrowth. The leader was the imposing giant with curved horns—it was Captain’s group. They had encountered six chaotic battles, and planned to wait until the fighting neared its end to seize the opportunity and strike decisively.
They had even disguised themselves as Xuan Yu Mountain forces to kill Jiuyan Marsh Masters of Law!
After all, Xuan Yu Mountain was a super tribal alliance, vast and containing an innumerable number of Masters of Law. Even within Xuan Yu Mountain itself, some Masters of Law had never seen others. The strange beasts of Jiuyan Marsh were even less likely to identify them as members of the Tribal Alliance.
If they looked humanoid? They must be a tribal force, so kill!
“Captain, what should we do?”
“What do we do now? Do we continue to pretend to be Xuan Yu Mountain tribal warriors and kill the strange beasts of Jiuyan Marsh?” The other soldiers all looked to the Captain to make the decision.
The Captain’s gray eyes, beneath his enormous curved horns, showed no flicker of emotion. He spoke in a low voice, “No. We haven’t found any Xuan Yu Mountain Masters of Law lately. Perhaps… the Masters of Law of Xuan Yu Mountain have begun to retreat. If we try to impersonate them now, the authorities managing the situation in Jiuyan Marsh will notice that thousands of conflicts have suddenly vanished, leaving only one location still fighting. They might grow suspicious and dispatch a squad of True Gods. We won’t be able to escape then.”
The soldiers nodded in agreement.
“So what do we do now?” they asked the Captain.
“Wait,” the Captain replied somberly. “Xuan Yu Mountain and Jiuyan Marsh are fighting this fiercely; even if the fighting stops, there should still be minor skirmishes occurring. The fact that all conflict has vanished is… even stranger.”
Thousands of light-years away from Jiuyan Marsh, above a desolate plain.
Towering figures hovered in mid-air. Each exuded an incomparably formidable aura. Looking from afar, there were thousands of them, occasionally joined by True Gods flying in to participate. Behind this assembly, massive squads were constantly gathering—they were teams of Masters of Law, with the warrior Masters of Law spreading out densely above them like a thick cloud.
“Alliance Master, all teams sent out for tempering have returned. All True Gods have also returned.”
In front of this entire assembly of powerhouses stood three figures.
The entire Xuan Yu Mountain was composed of four great tribes! Xuan Yu Mountain itself was a tribal alliance, and the patriarch of each tribe was a Void True God.
These three figures each radiated boundless might. The space surrounding the entire contingent seemed solidified, completely isolated from the outside world. The master of this pocket of space was the one positioned in the middle of the three figures.
“Jiuyan Marsh has provoked my Xuan Yu Mountain numerous times!” A cold voice, laced with infinite fury, echoed throughout the confined space. “Last time they dared to attack our Xuan Yu Mountain! We must show them that Xuan Yu Mountain… is not something Jiuyan Marsh is qualified to provoke. What we must do is punish Jiuyan Marsh with death!”
“Punish Jiuyan Marsh!”
“Punish Jiuyan Marsh!”
“Punish Jiuyan Marsh!”
Instantly, a roar of angry shouts erupted, and all the warriors were filled with boundless fighting spirit.
“Depart!” The Alliance Master, with a face like granite, gave the order.
“Boom!”
This enormous mass of tribal warriors vanished from this pocket of space as if by magic.
Near the periphery of Jiuyan Marsh.
Luo Feng and Wu He were both still in the undergrowth, trying to figure out a solution. Now that they couldn’t find a single warrior from Xuan Yu Mountain, their original plan had to be scrapped.
“Must I resort to the method of entering the tiger’s den?” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
Entering the tiger’s den…
This was a method Luo Feng was forced to consider. He had brought his Golden Horned Beast with him to the Jin World, aside from his main body. The Golden Horned Beast, within the ‘Jin World,’ was unequivocally classified as a strange beast. He could absolutely use the Golden Horned Beast to pretend to be a wandering strange beast and enter Jiuyan Marsh.
If it were a wandering tribal warrior, they would never dare enter Jiuyan Marsh.
But a wandering strange beast would dare!
Once inside Jiuyan Marsh… and then finding an opportunity, he was confident Jiuyan Marsh would eventually send out teams to join the army. He could then mix in with such a team. As a single Master of Law, the team would not be wary of him, and hopefully, that team would only be led by a single True God. Once the team was far enough from Jiuyan Marsh… he would strike suddenly.
Kill the True God!
The mission would be easily completed!
However, this ‘entering the tiger’s den’ method had many problems. First, he didn’t know how many Universe Masters would join the army; if there were many, those Universe Masters would pose a great threat. Second, he didn't know how many True Gods Jiuyan Marsh would send as escorts, considering Jiuyan Marsh was far stronger than the Gan Ye Tribe.
“Lure them out?”
“Infiltrate?”
“Or painstakingly hunt down Masters of Law one by one, spending nearly an epoch to gather a contingent of ten thousand?” Luo Feng was troubled. All these methods had a possibility of success, but all carried immense danger.
Only the tactic of ‘the snipe and the clam fighting’ would yield the fastest results.
As soon as a True God from Jiuyan Marsh died, he would immediately snatch the corpse and flee! With the capabilities of the Tombstone Boat, escaping quickly would be assured. “Hmm?”
Just as Luo Feng was worrying, he suddenly felt something and immediately looked up.
He saw that high above Jiuyan Marsh in the distance, a ‘dark, oppressive’ mass was forming. Countless towering figures, some ‘tens of thousands of kilometers’ tall, blotted out the view. One should note that ten thousand people is already described as a sea of people. And these tribal warriors, each as huge as a majestic mountain, formed an endless black cloud in the sky—a vast host of millions of tribal warriors.
“Ah!” Luo Feng’s eyes widened. He had never witnessed such a shocking sight.
“War,” Wu He beside him exclaimed, lifting his head sharply, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise and excitement. “War, it’s war! The final battle between Xuan Yu Mountain and Jiuyan Marsh! Not the minor skirmishes from before! Hahaha… this is too exciting! In Bei Zhen Sea, from birth until now, I’ve only seen one large-scale decisive battle because Bei Zhen Sea is too strong, and no nearby powers dared to provoke us. Wow, this is thrilling! Those three leading figures… they must be Void True Gods! Void True Gods are participating! It’s a true decisive battle!”
Rumble~~~RumbleURumbleN.
Heaven and earth changed color!
Space twisted and shifted!
In an instant, the entire region of Jiuyan Marsh, including the periphery where Luo Feng and Wu He were, as well as Captain’s group, Kufa’s group, and Yuluo’s group hidden elsewhere, were completely engulfed.
The entire Jiuyan Marsh!
The outermost area instantly became a blurry void. The skies above Jiuyan Marsh, the surroundings, and the depths beneath the endless marsh… all became indistinct space.
As if…
The entire Jiuyan Marsh was cut off and isolated in a single moment.
“One thought, and space is formed!” Luo Feng murmured. “Void True God…”
He had long heard of the terror of Void True Gods.
Every Void True God was a regional overlord in the Jin World. If they were in the Sea of Universe… they could transcend reincarnation and establish a Holy Land Universe, allowing their lineage to remain eternal!
