Chapter 1355: Split

Since entering the Jin World, Luo Feng had naturally been especially curious about Void True Gods, who were even higher than True Gods, and had tried every means to learn more information.

Combining the incredibly detailed information about True Gods from the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage with the knowledge he had acquired through conversations with Beifeng, Wuhe, and others in the Jin World—

True Gods possess their own small universes, and their words manifest laws instantly!

However, this “words manifest laws instantly” ability only functions within the Cosmic Sea and the Primordial Universe, but not in the Jin World. The reason is that “words manifest laws instantly” is purely a form of respect from the Primordial Universe’s fundamental will toward True Gods, temporarily stepping back and allowing a region to be controlled by the True God.

It is precisely because of this that True Gods can achieve “words manifest laws instantly.” But once the Primordial Universe’s fundamental will no longer retreats—for instance, during a battle between a True God and a Cosmic Sovereign, when the fundamental will supports the Cosmic Sovereign—the True God would no longer be able to manifest laws instantly.

Clearly!

The ability of “words manifest laws instantly” is not something a True God has attained through comprehending certain laws, but merely a bestowed privilege. Just like the “ability to create clones” and other innate secret techniques, these are all granted by the Primordial Universe. Once the Primordial Universe retracts its grant, the True Gods would completely lose these abilities.

Yet, the transition from a True God to a Void True God is an enormous leap.

Once one becomes a Void True God, they achieve a deeper understanding of the entire universe. Through comprehension of the laws, they ultimately gain absolute control over “a space of void,” which is not a bestowed privilege but true mastery. Even the fundamental will of the Primordial Universe cannot strip away such mastery gained through personal insight.

Void True Gods!

With a single thought, they can create voids. Within a vast expanse of void, they can unleash terrifying combat power.

True Gods cannot slay Cosmic Sovereigns using “words manifest laws instantly,” but Void True Gods can freely slay True Gods and Cosmic Sovereigns with “a thought creating voids.” This is the distinction between a bestowed privilege and self-attained mastery.

Merely through the power of “a thought creating voids,” any Void True God can become a dominant force within the Jin World.

The Jiuyan Marsh is completely isolated from the outside world, with voids surrounding it in all directions.

“How dare the fools of Xuanyu Mountain offend my Jiuyan Marsh?” A melodious voice, like the tinkling of spring water, resonated directly into the minds of all within the Jiuyan Marsh. Instantly, the voids surrounding Jiuyan Marsh showed a visible increase in power, as if two different voids were competing for control.

“Boom! Boom!!”

A large group of towering, fierce figures suddenly surged from the distant depths of Jiuyan Marsh. Roaring and shrieking, a swarm of beast True Gods charged forward. At the forefront of several thousand beast True Gods were three even more colossal figures. Among them, the central figure had emerald green scales and a body resembling an octopus with multiple tentacles. It possessed no fewer than nine heads, each with a face of breathtaking beauty.

She…

was Jiuyan! The ancient and terrifying being who was said to have always ruled over Jiuyan Marsh. The Jiuyan Marsh was named after her.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!” Following the emergence of the core group of True Gods from Jiuyan Marsh, led by three Void True Gods, came a vast army of Law Sovereigns, all rushing swiftly into the sky.

In a dense thicket of tall grass.

Luo Feng and Wuhe carefully raised their heads, gazing upward at the standoff between the two massive armies in the sky.

“Jiuyan is a very powerful Void True God,” Wuhe transmitted in admiration. “Jiuyan Marsh is famous because of her. Even my father, the Master of North Zhenhai, once praised Jiuyan’s strength. However, her temperament is peculiar and difficult to serve, so even powerful Void True Gods are reluctant to be with her.”

“But Jiuyan Marsh has three Void True Gods,” Luo Feng transmitted.

“That’s because…” Wuhe gave a strange smile. “The other two Void True Gods in Jiuyan Marsh were chased by enemies and had nowhere else to flee, so they sought refuge under Jiuyan. According to my father’s words… those two Void True Gods could easily be killed by him.”

Luo Feng was surprised.

Even among Void True Gods, there was such a huge gap in strength?

That made sense.

Even as a Cosmic Sovereign, Luo Feng now had confidence that he could kill a True God given enough time. As for confronting another Cosmic Sovereign of the same level… he could kill one with a single, fully unleashed strike. So even among Void True Gods, even if the disparity wasn’t as extreme as his, achieving absolute dominance in a same-level battle should still be possible.

“Wuhe, from everything I know, the largest tribal forces and greatest beast forces are guarded only by Void True Gods. I’ve never heard of anything stronger than a Void True God,” Luo Feng asked through transmission. “Are there even stronger beings?”

Although he wasn’t clear on the exact divisions between the levels above True Gods,

the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage had recorded that the ultimate goal of the path of laws was to master the “Chaos Laws.” However, even the Chaos Laws were not the final destination. The third ancestor of the Dandonghe lineage had transcended even the Chaos Laws. As for Void True Gods… they had not yet mastered the Chaos Laws.

“Tribal forces and beast forces, no matter how strong, are only guarded by Void True Gods,” Wuhe replied naturally. “As for anything stronger?”

It showed an expression of anticipation.

“There is!”

Luo Feng immediately listened intently as Wuhe slowly said, “That would be the supreme leader of the entire Eastern Army—the General of the Eastern Army.”

“The General?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

“Among all the armies in the Jin World, the armies are strongest. Divided by region, there are the Eastern Army, Northern Army, Southern Army, and Western Army. The four Generals who command these four armies are the highest beings in the Jin World. It is said that they have surpassed Void True Gods and reached an even higher level,” Wuhe said, his eyes filled with yearning.

“What level?” Luo Feng pressed.

“I don’t know,” Wuhe shook his head regretfully. “My father never told me.”

Luo Feng was puzzled.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wuhe growled angrily. “If you really want to know… you have to join the army and exchange military merits for detailed records. Then you’ll find out.” Wuhe was clearly unhappy because, although he was the child of the Master of North Zhenhai, he was actually the weakest among all his father’s children and not favored by his father.

As Luo Feng and Wuhe crouched in the tall grass, exchanging transmissions while gazing upward…

In the sky above, the Jiuyan Marsh and Xuanyu Mountain factions, after a brief conversation between their highest leaders, finally reached an impasse.

“Jiuyan! You’re too arrogant! You take all the bones and not even a drop of broth for us. Do you really think the four Void True Gods of Xuanyu Mountain can’t handle just you alone?”

“Do you want broth? Submit to me, become my subordinate, and I might reward you if I’m in a good mood.”

“Aaaaah!! Are you asking for death?! All warriors of Xuanyu Mountain, severely punish these annoying Jiuyan scoundrels!” Accompanied by furious roars, the two factions in the sky immediately launched into a massive chaotic battle. As the saying goes, soldiers fight soldiers, generals fight generals. Both sides swiftly surged toward each other.

Luo Feng looked up at the sky.

He felt as though…

two enormous dark clouds covering half the sky were rapidly colliding and merging together.

“It’s started,” Wuhe said excitedly.

“It’s started,” Luo Feng also held his breath.

The battle situation was ever-changing, making it hard to tell which side would win. Although Void True Gods greatly influenced the outcome, the lower-level warriors also played a significant role!

Because when quantity reaches a certain level, it can completely compensate for the gap in quality.

Law Sovereigns may be weaker than True Gods?

But ten thousand Law Sovereigns working together in unison could force any True God to flee in disarray!

True Gods may be weaker than Void True Gods?

But a thousand True Gods could still fight against a Void True God!

If equipped with “mechanical stream treasures,” such as the “Jiuxiu,” a hundred True Gods could control it, enabling the hundred True Gods to unleash combat power equivalent to thousands or even ten thousand True Gods fighting normally. Moreover, “their defense is higher” and “they are more flexible.” A hundred True Gods controlling Jiuxiu could rival powerful Void True Gods like Jiuyan. Weaker Void True Gods who were subordinate to Jiuyan might even be killed.

Therefore—

In true grand battles, once equipped with mechanical stream treasures, beings like True Gods can play a tremendous role. Take the Jinluo Heaven and Earth, for instance, which requires at least a hundred thousand True Gods to control jointly. A single strike from it could annihilate a group of Void True Gods…

Of course, the Jin World is ruled by the Emperor of the Great Gods.

Therefore, within the Jin World, the use of “massive” mechanical stream treasures is strictly prohibited. Not only the Jinluo Heaven and Earth, but even the Jiuxiu, which requires a hundred True Gods to control jointly, is not possessed by any tribal force or beast force!

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

The sky darkened as chaos erupted. The collision of the two super forces resulted in the fastest casualties among the Law Sovereign warriors (Cosmic Sovereigns). In an instant, countless divine bodies were consumed. Under some terrifying collective attacks, some Law Sovereigns were even directly swept away and killed, their weapons and armor falling.

“Weapons! Armor!”

Watching from afar as Law Sovereigns fell one by one and their weapons and armor dropped, Wuhe became excited.

“These are all military merits!” Wuhe’s eyes burned with excitement as he stared at the falling weapons and armor. He turned to Luo Feng and urgently transmitted, “Galaxy, hurry! These weapons and armor aren’t treasures. The warriors collect only a few, and most aren’t even paying attention. We can easily gather a large amount. Perhaps we can collect ten thousand sets. Then we can complete the military task and escape this deadly predicament.”

Military tasks could be verified either by True God corpses or by the weapons of Law Sovereigns.

As long as a Law Sovereign was confirmed dead, even if Wuhe didn’t kill it himself… as long as he obtained the weapon, it would still count as military merit.

Clearly, this system was secretly encouraging “mutual slaughter.”

“The Law Sovereigns fighting on Jiuyan’s side are just over ten million. For you alone to collect ten thousand sets of weapons and armor is too unrealistic,” Luo Feng shook his head. “If we are to collect anything, we should collect True God corpses. That would achieve success in one stroke.”

“You… you…” Wuhe was greatly alarmed, yet still staring at the falling weapons and armor in the distance.

“Galaxy, you…” Wuhe was both anxious and furious, shouting, “Do you think you’re that strong? Each True God is an important elite of their faction. Once a True God perishes, specialized True Gods will retrieve the corpse. You won’t even get a chance. Do you dare to get involved in a battle between True Gods in such a massive war between two factions? That’s suicide.”
