Chapter 1359: My Heart is Firm, Slaughter!

When Luo Feng and the squad leader’s groups of soldiers were quietly waiting like hunters outside the battlefield of True Gods, the war at the level of Law Lords in the Jiuyan Marsh was reaching its peak. This was an incredibly fierce war, where many weak or poorly defended Law Lords perished.

The Law Lords from both Xuan Yushan and Jiuyan Marsh numbered over ten million in total!

And now, after the brutal battles, more than a third had already fallen!

This was a trial, a process of elimination!

Law Lords who survived this trial and endured the terrifying selection often rapidly broke through to become True Gods.

“Milky Way’s fool! Still thinking of getting a True God’s corpse? Do you think a True God’s corpse is that easy to obtain?” Wu He swung his tail and swiftly slithered through the vast Jiuyan battlefield, occasionally roaring furiously as he charged at the tribal warriors from Xuan Yushan.

“Kill!”

“Kill all these bastards from Xuan Yushan!” Wu He roared, shouting commands.

Beside him were other strange beasts who also roared and charged alongside him, attacking the tribal warriors.

The Jiuyan Marsh was simply too vast, and the number of Law Lords was too great. New Law Lords might be born while old ones perished. Therefore, any Law Lord who could recognize eight out of ten fellow Law Lords in Jiuyan Marsh was already considered exceptional. Seeing that Wu He was a strange beast and that he fought alongside them against the warriors of Xuan Yushan, they assumed he was just an unfamiliar comrade.

“Kill, kill!” Wu He fought with wild abandon, but whenever a strange beast nearby fell, he quickly collected the fallen weapons and armor.

“I’ve only earned 1200 battle merits after three months of killing,” Wu He thought anxiously.

But the battlefield was simply too vast.

He could only collect weapons and armor dropped around him, and he had to carefully avoid many dangers. In the chaos of war, even a moment’s carelessness could lead to his demise.

In another part of the vast Jiuyan battlefield:

“Everyone must be careful. We are already among the strongest in the Law Lords, but this is a war involving over ten million Law Lords! Qu Luo and Nian died because they weren’t cautious enough. We still lack many battle merits, so we must remain vigilant,” Ku Fa led a group of soldiers who were now mingling in the battlefield.

They all looked like tribal warriors, naturally disguised as part of Xuan Yushan’s side.

“Yes.”

“Understood.”

“We still lack many battle merits.” Each soldier was visibly anxious.

That was their outward appearance.

But inwardly, they all understood that if a comrade died, the weapons and armor of Jiuyan beasts that comrade had collected would become theirs. Their group of ten soldiers had accumulated just over ten thousand sets of weapons and armor, enough to earn over ten thousand battle merits, ensuring at least one soldier could complete this mission.

A comrade’s death would actually benefit them.

But no one wanted to die themselves.

Ku Fa’s group, Yu Luo’s group, and the lone Wu He were all trying their best to collect weapons and armor from Jiuyan beasts on the battlefield of Law Lords. Of course, they could also include a small number of weapons and armor from Xuan Yushan’s warriors to meet the quota. As long as the army couldn’t detect any issues, it would suffice!

But the Jiuyan Marsh was simply too vast!

How many weapons and armor could each of these three groups collect? It was destined that most of them would either die on the battlefield or be executed by military law after the mission.

Even so!

They dared not venture into the battlefield of True Gods.

At the edge of the True God battlefield, the battle had already lasted nearly four months.

Luo Feng remained calm, patiently waiting for the right opportunity.

But the soldiers under the squad leader had started to turn on each other.

“Leader! You’re always so fearful. Once this war ends, we won’t have any more chances to earn massive battle merits,” a lean soldier wearing dark golden armor angrily transmitted his thoughts. “Without battle merits, we can only flee, but the army will hunt us down. Even if we escape for a while, we won’t survive for long. We must earn battle merits too.”

“Yeah, Leader, we can’t go on like this.”

“We want to live!”

“We want battle merits too!”

Several soldiers grew anxious, and the others looked at the leader with concern.

The leader’s cold eyes swept over the group beneath his massive curved horns. He understood that his soldiers were truly desperate. He himself could remain calm because he had already obtained a True God corpse, but his subordinates couldn’t maintain such composure.

“Going into the True God battlefield now is suicide,” the leader said coldly.

“We know it’s suicide, so we won’t go there. But now countless Law Lords are fighting and dying—that’s all battle merits! If we have enough time to collect weapons and armor, we might gather enough battle merits. The chances of surviving in the battlefield of Law Lords are quite high.”

“Yeah, Leader.”

“Let’s go to the battlefield of Law Lords.”

They all looked at the leader.

The leader sneered: “Collecting weapons and armor to earn ten thousand battle merits? How long would that take? Those who want to go may do so. I won’t stop you. However, at critical moments, I will send you a message through the communication token, giving you my coordinates. Then you must come immediately. Otherwise…”

“Yes, Leader.”

“Understood, Leader.”

“At your call, Leader.”

“We’ll head to the battlefield first, Leader.”

“We’ll always heed your orders, Leader.”

One by one, the soldiers responded immediately and then quietly and quickly slipped away. In just a short while, all the soldiers under the leader had vanished.

Shaking his head with a sneer, the leader muttered, “When faced with death, it seems they’ve all been driven to desperation.”

He inwardly looked down on these soldiers, but they were all members of the Manhe Army, and together they could unleash considerable combat power. If used well, they could complete tasks more easily. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t easily abandon this group of soldiers.

Luo Feng and the leader were both quietly lurking in different areas at the edge of the True God battlefield, ready to reveal their fangs at any moment.

“Roar~~~” A True God beast with eight claws and a long neck, its narrow head bearing a single eye gleaming with cunning, was wandering around the edge of the True God battlefield.

Its power had greatly diminished.

Beasts like it, lacking True God-grade armor, were naturally inferior to those True Gods who had joined armies. They were usually assigned mundane tasks like cleaning the battlefield, patrolling, or retrieving their side’s corpses. They understood it was due to their own lack of strength, so they trained themselves. But in such a major battle, once they felt their strength significantly declining, they would choose to evade and escape repeatedly.

“Cursed!”

“A True God dies, and their weapons and armor fall from their body, captured by the enemy who killed them. I haven’t gotten a single piece,” the eight-clawed beast True God thought angrily.

True God-grade armor and weapons were extremely valuable.

Inferior armor and weapons were more common, possessed by countless Law Lords. In the Jin World, even hundreds or thousands of ‘peak treasures’ couldn’t compare to a single ‘supreme treasure!’

“I must obtain a set of True God armor.

“I must.”

The eight-clawed beast True God wandered repeatedly, evading battles and seeking opportunities. If a True God wearing True God-grade armor fell, it would certainly try to snatch the armor and weapons. However, such True Gods were hard to kill, and even if they did fall, the beast’s chances of obtaining the items were very slim, which was why it still lacked True God armor to this day.

Wandering repeatedly.

In different regions of the True God battlefield.

“If there were no other True Gods,” the squad leader was quite anxious, “just this eight-clawed beast alone, I could use my mechanical stream treasures to fight one-on-one and eventually kill it after a long battle. But this is the battlefield of True Gods! It has already collected over thirty True God corpses from Jiuyan Marsh.”

In another location.

Luo Feng’s eyes were calm as the sea, silently locking onto the eight-clawed beast True God, continuously calculating their relative positions.

“Its power has greatly diminished.

“No supreme treasure armor protecting it!

“I’m confident I can kill it in a very short time.”

Luo Feng locked onto the beast True God’s position. As the eight-clawed beast wandered, Luo Feng began to move quietly. His speed wasn’t fast, to avoid creating noticeable fluctuations that might be detected by divine power. He gradually approached the True God battlefield, moving very slowly. At this moment, Luo Feng was extremely patient.

This approach took more than three days.

During these three days of approach, Luo Feng had already entered the True God battlefield. Then Luo Feng stopped, waiting for the eight-clawed beast to wander closer.

“Waiting.

“Waiting.

“Waiting for that moment of explosive action.” Luo Feng kept building up his momentum.

The three days of approach alone, and now this waiting, caused Luo Feng’s condition to rise continuously. His entire mind was focused solely on one goal—to kill this eight-clawed beast True God as quickly and efficiently as possible!

This absolute focus of thought naturally unleashed his potential. Faintly, Luo Feng felt a strong urge to draw his sword. Why could one break through only in life-and-death combat? Because in such moments, the instinct of life naturally concentrates all thoughts, unleashing terrifying potential.

This was a perilous and dangerous situation!

Killing a True God in a battlefield of ten thousand True Gods! How insane? Yet precisely because of this insanity, Luo Feng’s heart burned with an even more intense passion.

“Opportunity.

“Opportunity.

“Opportunity.” Luo Feng’s eyes were fixed solely on the approaching eight-clawed beast True God in the distance.

At this moment, the eight-clawed beast True God was proceeding with extreme caution, avoiding battles with powerful True Gods from Xuan Yushan. It only engaged in fights with weaker tribal True Gods. Gradually, it was approaching Luo Feng, getting closer… closer…

Luo Feng, like a stone, had been motionless, his eyes dim. Suddenly, they blazed with light.

From complete stillness, he erupted.

“This is the moment!”

Luo Feng instantly erupted.

Boom!

His speed exploded, and his divine power began to violently burn. Boom! Volume One of “Severance!” Boom! Burning even more intensely, Volume Two of “Severance!” This was one of the two greatest achievements Luo Feng had made in over eight million epochs of cultivation—mastering Volume Two of “Severance!”

“What!” The ever-vigilant eight-clawed beast True God, wandering at the edge, suddenly turned its narrow head, its single eye wide with shock as it looked behind. There, a massive blurred blade shadow came crashing toward it with an overwhelming momentum…
