As the silver warship sailed above the vast continent in the distance, the land grew increasingly distinct as the vessel closed the gap with an instantaneous teleportation jump.
This continent was named the "God King Realm."
To be precise, the Jin World was primarily composed of five great continents: the East Army, West Army, North Army, and South Army each commanded a vast tract of land and portions of the ocean. Scattered across the expansive ocean were numerous islands, of which the God King Realm was the largest. Given that it was the dwelling place of His Majesty the God King, its status was naturally even more special. Although its area was far smaller than the other four continents, due to its unique standing, it was counted as one of the five major landmasses.
"God King Realm," Luo Feng looked down from above, taking it all in with a single glance.
The entire continent of the God King Realm was a breathtaking spectacle, with mountain ranges rising and falling continuously, dotted everywhere by serene lakes.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng suddenly started in surprise.
Those countless undulating mountain ranges seemed like strands of Law Imprints, and even the lakes resembled certain 'nodes.' Just by viewing the entire God King Realm, Luo Feng felt myriad profound mysteries pouring into his mind, though they were too esoteric, far exceeding the level he could currently comprehend or grasp.
"That's right," Luo Feng nodded. "According to the information I gathered, the God King Realm is, after all, where the God King resides. Normally, the beings within the Jin World are not qualified to enter. I had to apply for a Title Mission to be permitted entry during this epoch."
"How could the God King's residence lack special grand formations and secret techniques to awe His subordinates?" Luo Feng smiled.
It was much like how many crucial locations within the Primitive Secret Realm would twist spacetime and set up numerous dangers. Naturally, the maneuvers enacted by His Majesty the God King in the Jin World would be even more extraordinary.
Just as Luo Feng piloted the Tomb-Mourning Boat flying high in the sky, a figure abruptly materialized out of thin air from the vast continent below, immediately flying rapidly toward Luo Feng.
"Restricted area of the God King Realm! Unauthorized entry is forbidden! Halt!"
A furious roar echoed.
The sound rolled through the air...
Instantly, the space surrounding the Tomb-Mourning Boat was sealed off from the outside world; escape was no longer possible.
"Void True God," Luo Feng gasped in alarm.
"I am Yinhe, a soldier from the East Army's Mang River Army unit." Luo Feng immediately exited the hatch of the Tomb-Mourning Boat and addressed the distant figure directly. "I have come to the God King Realm to carry out a Title Mission."
"Soldier Yinhe?"
The Void True God cast a gaze from afar, scrutinizing him carefully, and then with a whoosh, the surrounding space returned to normal.
"Follow me," the Void True God commanded.
Luo Feng recalled the Tomb-Mourning Boat and immediately flew over. In front of a Void True God, he had no alternative thoughts; after all, even with his utmost effort, he would be slain by the power of a Void True God. It was certainly better to be compliant.
As he flew across, Luo Feng observed this Void True God. This guard was a tribal warrior, clearly humanoid, possessing a dark-gold body that seemed cast from bronze, and six ears. A pair of eyes glowing with red light emitted an overbearing aura even while standing in the void.
"Yinhe pays respects to Your Excellency," Luo Feng saluted as he approached.
"I am Bei Cang, one of the guardians of the God King Realm," this Void True God stated directly. "Since you are here for a Title Mission, then follow me. I will take you to the God King Valley. Without my guidance, you wouldn't be able to reach the God King Valley at all."
"Yes," Luo Feng replied.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The guardian of the God King Realm, 'Bei Cang,' led Luo Feng, engaging in long-distance teleportation jumps towards the God King Valley.
"Lord Bei Cang," the more Luo Feng observed the landscape below, the more profound mysteries he sensed. "I feel... the continent of the God King Realm seems to be covered in Law Imprints everywhere. Does this mean danger lurks everywhere?" Guardian Bei Cang glanced at Luo Feng and, rarely, revealed a slight smile. "Correct. The continent of the God King Realm is indeed dangerous everywhere. The continent is simply too vast. If a large number of Law Masters and True Gods were to trespass randomly, even with numerous guards, it would be impossible to monitor everyone. Once they intrude, they risk perishing. Because of this, nobody dares to enter the God King Realm normally." Luo Feng nodded.
The information he obtained also warned against unauthorized entry: trespassers would die.
"As for the ubiquitous Law Imprints..." Guardian Bei Cang sighed with emotion. "It is because the entire God King Realm is actually a Super Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure created by His Majesty the God King!"
"A Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure?" Luo Feng was startled.
A Supreme Treasure—the highest form of treasure. If a Void True God in the Jin World referred to it as a 'Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure,' it was certainly not comparable to any treasure found in the Sea of Universes.
"Such a massive Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure?" Luo Feng was stunned.
One must remember that the Universe Boat was only about one hundred million light-years long.
And this continent of the God King Realm was one of the five major continents. Even though it was far inferior to the other four—the diameter of the God King Realm must still exceed one billion light-years. Such a magnificent and towering continent was actually a Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure?
"Haha, His Majesty the God King is most skilled in Mechanical Stream artifacts," Guardian Bei Cang said proudly, full of feeling. "This God King Realm continent was merely an experimental piece by His Majesty. His Majesty the God King possesses a true 'God King Realm' Supreme Treasure that accompanies Him as He roams the endless worlds, unmatched."
Luo Feng held his breath.
He had previously seen those humanoid creatures. If the main body of such a humanoid creature was already that large, then the Mechanical Stream Supreme Treasure created by them being so outrageous was understandable.
If that colossal entity was truly the God King, then how did His Majesty fall to such a state? How could beings like the Universe Masters and True Gods from our Sea of Universes freely enter His Jin World? And how could His subjects from the Jin World die one by one upon emerging?" Luo Feng sensed...
The Sea of Universes and the Jin World seemed to be opposed forces.
Moreover, the Sea of Universes held the advantage!
Beings from the Sea of Universes could enter the Jin World, but the subjects of the Jin World could not enter the Sea of Universes!
While conversing, they soon arrived above a beautiful valley.
"That is the God King Valley," Guardian Bei Cang pointed below. Below was an incomparably beautiful and tranquil valley. "His Majesty the God King often resided in the God King Valley when he was here. I have already notified the guards of the God King Valley of your arrival. You may proceed; the guards there will not stop you." "Thank you, Lord Bei Cang," Luo Feng said.
"Also, that nine-story pagoda!" Guardian Bei Cang pointed to the tallest structure within the entire God King Valley. "That is the Wu Qi Tower. Go now. I hope to see you alive when you emerge after this Title Mission."
With that, Guardian Bei Cang shook his head and instantly teleported away.
Luo Feng gazed at the nine-story pagoda and murmured inwardly, "Emerge alive? Not only must I emerge alive, but I must also see why no Law Master has ever managed to reach the summit across endless ages! I must see what can possibly stop me!" Luo Feng was naturally incredibly proud and confident; how could he lack conviction because of the danger of the Title Mission?
If he lacked confidence, he would not have come here in the first place.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng flew directly toward it!
The God King Valley was heavily guarded, but those guards knew Luo Feng's identity as someone undertaking a "Title Mission," so they did not obstruct him, only issuing a transmission warning: "Entering the God King Valley, flying is not permitted."
Thus, Luo Feng walked through the God King Valley, directly reaching the base of the Wu Qi Tower.
The Wu Qi Tower towered over a thousand light-years high, the tallest structure in the God King Valley.
Beneath this magnificent structure, six figures were gathered.
"Soldier, approach," one of the six figures, a horned strange beast coiled up there, grunted. This horned beast was the only True God among them; the other five figures were all Law Masters.
Luo Feng immediately walked over, sweeping his gaze across them...
"You are the sixth Law Master in this batch," the horned beast growled. "According to regulations, every ten soldiers enter the Wu Qi Tower together. There are currently three batches inside the Wu Qi Tower. You are the fourth batch; wait a moment and gather ten soldiers before entering."
Luo Feng nodded to show he understood.
On this patch of grass, the other five soldiers were either standing casually, sitting, or lying down (that last one was an alien beast soldier).
"Mang River Army? You are from the East Army?" A soldier approached—a tall, thin soldier with a bizarre black beard. The armor worn by this soldier was emblazoned with the markings of a strange alien beast, and his helmet also bore the head of a roaring beast.
"You are from the Jue Long Army?" Luo Feng smiled back.
The Jue Long Army was also one of the East Army's special legions.
"I am Xu Zhong, a soldier from the Jue Long Army!" the tall, thin soldier stated directly.
"I am Yinhe, a soldier from the Mang River Army!" Luo Feng responded.
The tall, thin soldier also displayed a look of affinity, remarking with feeling, "The other four soldiers are from different legions, not from our East Army. It's great to meet someone from the East Army here! Which battalion in the Mang River Army are you from? I'm seeing you for the first time." "I am a new recruit," Luo Feng said casually.
At these words, the tall, thin soldier showed a flash of surprise, and even the expressions of the other four soldiers nearby shifted slightly.
"A new recruit?" The tall, thin soldier realized suddenly. "No wonder I haven't seen you. You must have joined within the last few epochs. I know most of the best members from the special legions of our East Army. But since you, Yinhe, are undertaking a Title Mission, your strength must be formidable. I believe you will soon make a name for yourself among the East Army's various special legions."
Luo Feng smiled.
Challenging the Wu Qi Tower was extremely dangerous. Since they were all from the East Army, establishing some camaraderie might prove helpful when entering the tower.
In the blink of an eye, nearly six more days passed, and more soldiers arrived one after another.
"Ten soldiers are enough!" the True God horned beast roared. "You are the fourth batch to enter the Wu Qi Tower this time. I will tell you in advance: more than half of the first three batches currently inside the Wu Qi Tower have already perished. I hope I can see you all emerge alive once again."
The ten soldiers started in shock.
More than half of the previous three batches had died?
Luo Feng was also surprised; anyone who dared to come here was absolutely an elite among the four armies.
"Rumble, rumble~~" In the distance, the colossal gate, towering over a hundred light-years high, was slowly grinding open. The immense gateway emitted dazzling multicolored light that made it difficult for Luo Feng and the others to look directly at it. An infinite pressure radiated out from the Wu Qi Tower.
"Enter," the True God horned beast commanded.
