If someone clearly has a seven-rank attack power but relies on mechanical-flow treasures, their attack might directly reach the tenth rank. This is something no secret technique can achieve; this is the charm of the mechanical flow. Of course, when everyone uses mechanical-flow treasures, those who were originally stronger naturally display stronger combat power.
“With this new recruit Galaxy’s strength, given time, he will surely earn massive military merits and continuously improve himself,” the squad leader thought secretly. “Looks like after returning to the army this time, I should establish good relations with this new recruit Galaxy. If I still can’t become a True God before the next Samsara-level mission, my hope of surviving that mission might rest entirely on this new recruit.”
The squad leader understood clearly.
With external means, he might be able to kill this new recruit Galaxy right now. However, if given time, Galaxy would definitely surpass him rapidly. Since he couldn’t defeat Galaxy, naturally, becoming friends was a better choice.
…
“That Law Sovereign is too powerful. Among all the True Gods in Xuan Yu Mountain, none can dodge in close combat as terrifyingly as he does.” The five True Gods who had blocked Luo Feng previously were astonished. Especially the first three who had intercepted him, who even seemed somewhat bewildered.
The three of them had attacked, yet that Law Sovereign had easily escaped from their encirclement.
It was as if he were mocking them.
“This Law Sovereign will definitely become a True God.”
“And he will be an extremely powerful and terrifying True God. Once equipped with mechanical-flow treasures within the army, he might even rival a Void True God.”
“Yes, it’s rare for a True God to rival a Void True God… but if anyone could do it, that Law Sovereign just now indeed might be capable.” These five True Gods all reached the same conclusion unconsciously.
The higher the level, the weaker mechanical-flow treasures become.
A Law Sovereign using mechanical-flow treasures to rival True Gods is quite common.
However, a True God using mechanical-flow treasures to rival a Void True God is extremely rare throughout the Jin World. Yet they believed… once that Law Sovereign became a True God, he would definitely achieve it.
…
Above the Jiuyan Marsh, powerful fluctuations spread continuously.
Yet in reality, the six Void True Gods from Jiuyan Marsh and Xuan Yu Mountain merely hovered in midair without engaging in battle.
“Jiuyan, the three of us working together still can’t defeat you. How many times is this now?” The three Void True Gods from Xuan Yu Mountain sighed.
“Qu Wan!” Jiuyan, a creature with an octopus-like body and nine humanoid faces, spoke in a melodious voice, “You guys are impressive too. With just three of you, I couldn’t break through your combined formation. If all four of your Xuan Yu Mountain Void True Gods came, I think I’d be even more—”
“Ah?”
“Huh?”
All six Void True Gods simultaneously noticed something happening below.
“Amazing close-range dodging!”
“Incredible.”
Even the Void True Gods couldn’t help but praise.
“He uses the war-blade as the blade-edge, his own body as the blade-back, transforming into a single war-blade… when moving, he becomes even more courageous and sharp, sometimes using the blade-edge to strike enemies and gain momentum, yet before the enemy can barely resist, he has already gracefully moved far away,” Jiuyan exclaimed in admiration. “What a brilliant idea, creating such an exquisite close-combat technique.”
“Body as the blade-back, war-blade as the blade-edge?” The other Void True Gods immediately understood more.
They, as Void True Gods, also realized that their close-range dodging ability was much stronger than that Law Sovereign’s. However, that was due to their superior base power, deeper comprehension, and mastery of space, etc. When it came to the intricacy, ingenuity, and sheer unimaginable aspects of close-combat techniques, they all knew that when they were still Law Sovereigns, they were far inferior to this new recruit.
“This new recruit must be a key talent cultivated by the Eastern Army.”
“Yes.”
“He’s probably already on their list.”
Each Void True God made such a judgment.
Jiuyan added, “This is undoubtedly an extraordinary genius rarely seen in our Jin World. Given enough time, he might even be granted a title and become a titled expert.”
“A titled expert?”
All the other Void True Gods were astonished.
A titled expert?
Even among these six Void True Gods, none had ever been granted a title. To be granted the title ‘Jin’ was the desire of countless Void True Gods. True Gods indeed had the possibility of being granted titles, but the requirements were even more terrifying, to an unimaginable extent. The lower the power level, the higher the requirements for being granted a title.
If one could reach the level of ‘General’ in the Eastern Army, one would be granted a title directly!
…
In a distant swampy grassland.
Luo Feng remained hidden.
“I managed to obtain a True God corpse from Jiuyan Marsh, at least completing this Catastrophe-level mission.” Luo Feng smiled slightly. However, his greatest gain wasn’t just the True God corpse, but…
“When I charged through the True God-level battlefield just now, I collected a total of 212 True God blood samples, scales, armor fragments, and hairs that fell into the swamps or grass during their battles. I started from divine power to become a True God, but previously had very few gene samples from True Gods. This time, I obtained plenty.”
“When this eon ends, I can descend again or leave the Jin World, bringing all these blood samples, scales, hairs, etc., back through my new Youhai clone.”
Luo Feng was filled with joy, continuing to watch from outside the True God-level battlefield.
Observing for any opportunities that might appear within the True God-level battlefield.
…
After both the squad leader and the new recruit Galaxy, these two Law Sovereigns, had stolen True God corpses, the tens of thousands of True Gods battling in the Purple Vine Marsh region were very angry. They didn’t care much about the first thief, the squad leader, but were greatly amazed by the second thief, the new recruit Galaxy.
Yet no matter how amazing they found him…
Stealing True God corpses was a provocation to living True Gods!
“Capture both of them.”
“Capture them, or else this will become a disgrace for both Jiuyan Marsh and Xuan Yu Mountain.”
“Next time, as soon as they appear again, we must capture them.”
All these True Gods were extremely vigilant. During the clashes between the two factions, whenever a True God occasionally fell into the swamp upon dying, the other True Gods intentionally or unintentionally stayed not too far from this area, carefully sensing through divine power. Once any fluctuation occurred, they could quickly surround this area.
…
But Luo Feng and the squad leader were both very clever.
Both had already obtained a True God corpse from Jiuyan Marsh and weren’t in a hurry.
The battle between the two factions, Xuan Yu Mountain and Jiuyan Marsh, was a long one, including fierce frontal battles and chases of one fleeing and another pursuing… As this war continued longer, the tempering for the Law Sovereigns became increasingly intense. Similarly, as the battle prolonged and True Gods occasionally fell one by one… the True Gods from both factions gradually became angrier.
Plus Luo Feng and the squad leader never appeared.
One day, two days, three days… half a month… a month…
“For a Law Sovereign’s military mission, demanding them to obtain a True God corpse is already unbelievable. Most likely, those two Law Sovereigns have already completed their tasks and departed,” the powerhouses from both factions gradually ceased to concern themselves with those True God corpses.
“Even though we are fighting each other and not guarding the corpses intentionally, we cannot allow them to steal the corpses again. Let each side send one True God to collect their own corpses… and during the collection, no attacks are allowed. How about that?” A voice quickly spread.
“Fine, let’s do it that way.”
Each side, Jiuyan Marsh and Xuan Yu Mountain, designated one True God to collect their respective corpses.
Hua!
Hua!
A tribal True God with an entirely crimson body turned into a streak of light, collecting one tribal True God corpse after another. At this moment, none of Jiuyan Marsh’s beast True Gods attacked him.
At the same time, a beast True God with a long neck and eight claws also flew around collecting beast True God corpses. From the three months of fierce battles, leaving more than twenty True God corpses, this beast True God collected all of them at once.
…
“No!”
“Leave some!”
The squad leader and his soldiers watched with burning eyes, extremely anxious.
“Captain!”
“Captain!” The other soldiers were all frantic, having waited nearly three months. Before, seeing so many True God corpses lying there, how envious and eager they had felt? But under the captain’s strict orders… they hadn’t acted. Now the True God corpses were being taken away.
The squad leader’s gray eyes beneath his large horns swept over the surrounding soldiers as he telepathically shouted, “If you want to go, go by yourselves! Just now they were deliberately luring us to go. Now they don’t care about us anymore, but the corpses have been taken… Are you planning to kill a living True God? Even if we work together, it would take a long time to kill one. In that time, probably thousands of True Gods would surround us.”
All the soldiers were anxious and furious yet didn’t know what to do.
“Wait. Wait for the opportunity.” The captain shouted, “After all, we still have an entire eon.”
…
Elsewhere, Luo Feng had been closely watching the long-necked, scale-armored, eight-clawed beast True God, paying attention to its every move, because…
This beast True God had just collected a total of twenty-six True God corpses.
“One True God corpse equals ten thousand military merits.”
“Twenty-six True God corpses equal 260,000 military merits.” Luo Feng’s heart itched as he stared at that beast True God. “This beast True God was assigned to collect corpses precisely because of its low status. Judging from its performance in the previous chaos, its strength was quite ordinary… it doesn’t even seem to have True God-grade armor.”
No True God-grade armor!
A weaker True God?
Luo Feng’s heart stirred.
Eight million eons of bitter cultivation, his current strength! Based on his own judgment, killing this weaker beast True God without True God-grade armor would be easy! However, it would take a little time, and that little time was enough for the True Gods to surround Luo Feng.
Although he could rely on close-range dodging to escape from several True Gods’ encirclement, if dozens or even hundreds of True Gods surrounded him, Luo Feng would have to rely on the Mausoleum Boat. If even more True Gods… probably even the Mausoleum Boat wouldn’t be able to escape!
“Wait.”
“I must wait for the right opportunity.” Luo Feng kept his focus locked on that eight-clawed beast True God.
Although no one attacked it while it was collecting corpses,
After finishing the collection… it would rejoin the battlefield and resume normal combat. Its strength was relatively weak, and from Luo Feng’s observation, he gradually judged the degree to which this beast True God’s power was declining.
“Just a twenty percent further drop in strength, and its body will be weak enough… with my current strength, unleashing fully, I can definitely kill it in an extremely short time.” Luo Feng stared intently at that eight-clawed beast True God, waiting for the right moment to strike.
