The colossal humanoid figure still lay adrift in the Sea of Universe, and the mighty experts from various factions, who had been quiescent for nearly an eon, had finally arrived.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of light, each of a different hue, streaked across the void, plunging between the giant creature's lips and entering its body.
...
Outside the small universe known as 'Jin's World,' numerous palace-like supreme treasures floated in the void. They hailed from the powers of the three great Reincarnation Eras and the two Holy Lands of the Sea of Universe.
If the First Era was merely a probing advance force,
This time marked the true, large-scale entry.
Within one of the many supreme treasures, which resembled a dazzling constellation of palaces, stood a nine-story tower.
"Jin's World is fraught with danger. After we enter, I will take you directly to the outskirts of the Eastern Army camp. From there, everyone will join the army directly... You all know the dangers of joining the army; I needn't elaborate. Once you're in the ranks, everything will depend on yourselves," Youhai Luo Feng surveyed the surroundings as he spoke.
"That is only natural."
"Lord of the Galaxy, we thank you for your trouble." Universe Masters spoke up one after another.
Youhai Luo Feng nodded.
This was his new Youhai avatar. Since the new Youhai avatar had also reached the Perfect Genetic level, its innate divine body was just as formidable as his Earthling true body and his Jinkejū Beast avatar.
"Luo Feng," standing beside Youhai Luo Feng was the City Lord of Chaos, transmitting a message privately, "The ones entering this time are the other races from our Hong Alliance, totaling 36 Universe Masters. They are not humans, after all... Guide them at the start, but you don't need to look after them much afterward; protecting yourself is paramount."
"I understand," Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
"Oh, the color has changed." Youhai Luo Feng looked toward the distant small universe, 'Jin's World,' in the outer void.
The outer membrane wall of the small universe 'Jin's World' had turned white, indicating that the obstruction had been minimized and entry was possible.
"We can enter!"
"It's changed color!"
"We can enter the Fourth Forbidden Zone."
"Enter Jin's World."
The supreme treasures, which had been suspended in the void outside Jin's World, immediately passed through the small universe's membrane wall and descended into Jin's World.
Simultaneously, streaks of light emerged from the small universe 'Jin's World,' clearly the survivors from the first batch that had entered an eon ago.
"Whoosh!" A silver warship flew rapidly toward them—it was the Tomb-Lamenting Boat.
"Let's go over," Youhai Luo Feng commanded.
Soon, the Tomb-Lamenting Boat and the Star Tower drew near, and the hatch of the Tomb-Lamenting Boat opened.
"Everyone move over," Youhai Luo Feng ordered.
Immediately, the Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance left the Star Tower and entered the Tomb-Lamenting Boat. Only Youhai Luo Feng and the City Lord of Chaos remained inside the Star Tower.
"Hmm?" The City Lord of Chaos immediately noticed that Youhai Luo Feng's divine body was rapidly weakening, dropping to about 80% of its capacity in just a moment.
"What's wrong?" the City Lord of Chaos inquired urgently.
"My divine body was quite depleted in Jin's World; I'm taking this chance to replenish it," Youhai Luo Feng said with a smile. After all, using the second layer of 'Severance Annihilation' against that alien Beast True God had been incredibly taxing. Although he had killed the alien Beast True God, Luo Feng's divine body had suffered significant consumption. It was only thanks to the Jinkejū Beast avatar replenishing him that he could maintain his peak state at all times.
Replenishing divine power within Jin's World was arduous. After an eon, only a little had been restored. But here, inside the Tomb-Lamenting Boat, his Earthling true body and Jinkejū Beast were close enough for their divine power to be mutually transferred and replenished.
...
"Haha, now that I've learned the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique and possess a set of offensive Supreme Treasures... even in the Sea of Universe, I can unleash peak tenth-tier combat power. Comparable to the original Ancestor of yesteryear! Watch how I tear you apart—see this? This is the Supreme Treasure warship I just acquired!" Inside a dazzling golden warship, the Rampaging Demon God was bragging to his old friend, 'Beichi Star Master.'
"You are ruthless, you are mighty," Beichi Star Master forced himself to listen to the Rampaging Demon God's boasting.
"Hahahaha..." The Rampaging Demon God was exceedingly pleased with himself.
He was a lone wanderer.
If he acquired a powerful treasure, wouldn't he have to show it off?
"Boom!" The warship flew at high speed, even colliding with another spherical palace-like supreme treasure, sending it flying.
"Who hit the palace of my God-Eye Race!" A powerful expert within the spherical palace treasure roared angrily via soul transmission.
"It's me, Rampage. What about it?" the Rampaging Demon God replied with utter abandon.
Instantly, the God-Eye Race fell silent.
Initially, the Rampaging Demon God had planned to collect more Supreme Treasures in the Sea of Universe, but as various pieces of intelligence from within the army were unearthed and transmitted to the major powers of the Sea of Universe, his plan ultimately failed. Afterward, the Rampaging Demon God began to actively flaunt his power... letting the Sea of Universe know just how formidable he had become.
Even the God-Eye Race, encountering the lone wanderer Rampaging Demon God, could only suppress their anger and steer clear.
...
"Go!"
Inside the Tomb-Lamenting Boat, Luo Feng stood in the main hall, backed by the 36 Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance, all naturally deferring to Luo Feng's command.
Whoosh!
With a single order, the Tomb-Lamenting Boat immediately flew toward Jin's World.
...
Inside a pitch-black warship, a large number of Universe Masters were gathered—nearly a hundred in total.
"The Ancestor has commanded!"
"This time, our Purple Moon Holy Land enters Jin's World. The primary objective is... to use the army to kill the Silver River Lord, Luo Feng! Once the army acts and eradicates Luo Feng's soul, all of Luo Feng's avatars will perish, leaving him no hope of resurrection."
"First, we must ascertain his location," a black-armored man with two faces and four arms growled low.
The group of Universe Masters below listened in solemn silence.
"The Hong Alliance Universe Masters have set off! We follow them!"
Boom!
As the Tomb-Lamenting Boat flew toward Jin's World, the black warship also followed closely toward the small universe.

During the First Era, few entered, and the vast majority perished. Very few survived an entire eon within Jin's World. Thus, many factions only obtained scattered intelligence about 'Jin's World' from the Hong Alliance and others. They lacked powerful individuals currently inside, so they remained cautious, fearing the received information might be inaccurate.
Therefore, in this Second Era, a total of one thousand Universe Masters set out from all the major powers of the Sea of Universe!
Relatively speaking, this number was not large.
This is because, especially in the First Reincarnation Era, the number of Universe Masters exceeded two thousand. Facing their temporal limits, if they had detailed information about Jin's World, more than half of the First Reincarnation Era alone would have charged in. Yet, currently, only slightly over 600 individuals from the First Reincarnation Era had entered.
It is believed that the Third Era will see another peak influx.
...
"We lost them."
Once the Purple Moon Holy Land's black warship entered Jin's World, they discovered that the Tomb-Lamenting Boat had quickly teleported away.
"Although we lost sight of them, the location where Luo Feng brought the Hong Alliance Universe Masters to land is clearly within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Army commander. Luo Feng most likely joined the Eastern Army. However, to guard against the unexpected, nearly a hundred of our Universe Masters will go to the Northern Army, twenty to the Southern Army, twenty to the Western Army, and the rest to the Eastern Army!"
The Purple Moon Holy Land's black warship set out.
After all, two Universe Masters from the Purple Moon Holy Land had previously entered this era. This eon's time was sufficient for those two Universe Masters to obtain a rough map of Jin's World, allowing the inhabitants of Jin's World to know the locations of the four major military camps.
...
The major entry of forces from the Sea of Universe proceeded silently, as if a bucket of water had been poured into the boundless ocean—causing no significant ripple.
Eastern Army Camp, Manghe Military Post.
"Yinhe, Yinhe." A voice called from outside.
Luo Feng stepped out of his stone house and looked up toward the sky, where a ferocious alien beast named 'Wu He' was hovering.
"Yinhe, the other soldiers are ready to depart for this eon's army mission," Wu He stated. "Also, the nine new recruits who joined during the previous eon will also be undertaking the mission. Let's depart as well!"
Wu He was currently happy to align with Luo Feng.
"Nine new recruits?" Luo Feng was surprised. Recruits who joined during the nearly eon-long period after the mission was accepted would naturally wait until this new eon for their first mission. However, in a post as large as the Manghe Army, having nine recruits assigned to his small squad seemed excessive.
"The Manghe Army receives quite a few soldiers every eon. Because our small squad just survived a Catastrophe-level mission and suffered heavy losses, we received the primary replenishment," Wu He explained.
"Oh, then let's go," Luo Feng nodded. "But Wu He, I'll tell you in advance, I won't be operating with you this time."
"Not operating together?" Wu He was confused.
However, it wasn't worried, as after a Catastrophe-level mission, army tasks would be relatively easy for a long time to come.
"I have something to attend to," Luo Feng didn't elaborate, not wishing to speak of the titled mission.
...
They first converged at the Basic Inheritance Island. It was apparent that some veteran soldiers, including the captain, were hostile toward Luo Feng, while others were friendly, making the nine new recruits quite curious about 'Luo Feng.'
"New recruits, a word of advice."
Upon arriving at the Basic Inheritance Island, Luo Feng completely ignored the captain and others, addressing the nine newcomers directly: "Ku Fa is capable; you might as well follow her. As for that captain? Those who don't wish to die had better keep their distance from him."
The new recruits were stunned.
"Yinhe!" the captain’s face darkened.
"Did I say something wrong?" Luo Feng glanced at him.
Everyone in the six-person squad sensed the mutual antagonism between Luo Feng and the captain.
In truth, the two had been on opposing sides since the captain coveted Luo Feng's massive military merits. The captain had witnessed Luo Feng's power firsthand, and after the previous mission where Luo Feng gained immense merits, acquiring a mechanical stream supreme treasure would have been easy, making him even stronger now than a cycle ago.
Thus, deep down, the captain held a degree of fear toward Luo Feng.
"Let's go accept the army mission," the captain immediately turned and gave the order directly.
...
After nearly a full day spent navigating through the military camp, they arrived before the evil grand hall.
"Boom!"
A pillar of light enveloped the entire six-person squad. Other soldiers received simple tasks, whereas Luo Feng received a Titled Mission.
"Hmm? Divine King Valley? The place where the Divine King resided in the past?" A trace of shock flickered in Luo Feng's eyes. "The location for the Titled Mission is there!"
