A Thought, Void Forms

Along the fringes of the Nine Smoke Marsh, small-scale skirmishes at the Law Master level were erupting. Neither side had dispatched True Gods to intervene. For the two major powers, these minor clashes among their Law Masters served as a form of tempering before the true grand decisive battle. For both the Nine Smoke Marsh and Xuanyu Mountain, True Gods were the true backbone of their fighting force. “Kill!” “Kill!” One after another, burly and majestic figures charged wildly towards the monstrous beasts, their footsteps making the earth tremble. Those burly figures, if placed in the Universe Ocean, would each be a pillar of their respective races. Any one of those monstrous beasts, if placed in the Universe Ocean, would rival a Beast God. Only in a miraculous place like Jinzhi could space remain stable enough to easily withstand such a battle. In the Original Universe or the Universe Ocean, space would have long since shattered. “Bang!” The monstrous beast thrashed, biting with a hiss, its fangs gleaming with a chilling light. Arms swung, roaring, as great axes cleaved down! In this area, both sides fought with insane ferocity. “Retreat! The Alliance Leader has commanded an immediate retreat!” “The Alliance Leader has commanded an immediate retreat.” Messages came through the communication tokens carried by the three leading warriors of Xuanyu Mountain’s tribal fighters. This caused the previously frenzied tribal fighters to immediately change their tactics. “Brothers, the Alliance Leader has ordered a retreat.” “Retreat.” “Retreat.” Following the command, this large group of tribal fighters fought and retreated, then quickly boarded a warship and swiftly flew away. Only the pack of monstrous beasts, unable to pursue, were left roaring in fury. …… “Retreat!” “The Alliance Leader has commanded a retreat!” …… “Retreat, the Alliance Leader has commanded a retreat!” …… Almost simultaneously, along the entire fringe of the Nine Smoke Marsh, numerous tribal warrior teams, whether currently engaged in battle or hidden and yet to act, all received the command. These teams immediately began to quietly withdraw, swiftly leaving the Nine Smoke Marsh area. …… “Strange,” Luo Feng, who had been stealthily advancing, suddenly stopped. “How is it that not a single Xuanyu Mountain powerhouse can be found?” “Yinhe, Yinhe, how come we can’t see a single powerhouse from the Xuanyu Mountain Tribal Alliance? How can your plan be implemented then? How can we stir up trouble?” Wuhe asked anxiously. Luo Feng gently shook his head. He didn’t know either... According to his estimations, for such a large number of small-scale conflicts, Xuanyu Mountain must have dispatched at least a million Law Masters. In that case, it would be absolutely impossible to let so many Law Masters risk themselves here without protection. There must be True Gods secretly guarding them to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Luo Feng’s goal was precisely to find a True God from Xuanyu Mountain! “Forget True Gods, we can’t even find a single Law Master,” Wuhe said, anxious and helpless. “At this rate, when will we complete the mission assigned by the army? That’s ten thousand military merits!” “Stop talking nonsense,” Luo Feng was also annoyed. The Xuanyu Mountain forces, which had been common before, had clearly all vanished. This also troubled Luo Feng. If Xuanyu Mountain truly withdrew completely and no longer interfered, then the strategy of ‘the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits’ would become impossible. …… “Why aren’t they fighting anymore?” “Before, we continuously found six places where Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh were clashing, so why can’t we find any now?” More than ten figures were hidden in the grass. The leader was a burly giant with curved horns, part of the Captain’s group. They had previously encountered six chaotic battles, and waited until the end of the melee to seize opportunities and strike lethal blows to contend for spoils. They even disguised themselves as Xuanyu Mountain forces to kill Nine Smoke Marsh Law Masters! After all, Xuanyu Mountain was a super tribal alliance, too vast, and the number of Law Masters was immense. Even within Xuanyu Mountain itself, some Law Masters had never met others. It was even more impossible for the monstrous beasts of Nine Smoke Marsh to identify whether they belonged to the tribal alliance. A glance, humanoid? Then it’s a tribal force, kill! “Captain, what should we do?” “What do we do now? Should we continue to disguise ourselves as Xuanyu Mountain tribal warriors and kill Nine Smoke Marsh monstrous beasts?” The other soldiers all looked at the Captain, waiting for his decision. Under the Captain’s massive curved horns, his gray eyes showed no emotional fluctuation as he said in a low voice, “No, we haven’t found any Xuanyu Mountain Law Masters consecutively. Perhaps... Xuanyu Mountain’s Law Masters have begun to retreat. If we impersonate them now, those in charge of Nine Smoke Marsh will realize... that there were over ten thousand conflicts before, but suddenly all conflicts have vanished, leaving only one place still in conflict. They might become suspicious, and even dispatch a team of True Gods. By then, we won’t be able to escape.” The soldiers nodded one by one. “So what do we do now?” The soldiers looked at the Captain. “Wait,” the Captain said in a low voice. “Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh have been fighting so fiercely that even if there’s a ceasefire, there should still be some small-scale conflicts. The complete disappearance of all conflicts, however... is even more bizarre.” …… Above a desolate plain, several thousand light-years away from Nine Smoke Marsh. Majestic figures hovered in mid-air, each exuding an incredibly powerful aura. From a distance, there were thousands of them, with True Gods occasionally flying in to join. Behind them, numerous small teams were continuously gathering, forming Law Master squads, and Law Master warriors were densely packed... filling the sky. “Alliance Leader, all teams sent for tempering have returned. All True Gods have also returned.” In front of the entire force of powerhouses. There were three figures. The entire Xuanyu Mountain... comprised four great tribes! Xuanyu Mountain was also a tribal alliance, and the chieftain of each tribe was a Void True God. These three figures each exuded boundless power. The void surrounding the entire force seemed to solidify, completely isolated from the outside world. The master of this void was the central figure among the three. “Nine Smoke Marsh has repeatedly provoked my Xuanyu Mountain!” A cold voice, filled with endless rage, echoed through the void. “Last time, they even dared to attack our Xuanyu Mountain! We must let them know that Xuanyu Mountain... is not something they, Nine Smoke Marsh, are qualified to provoke. What we must do is punish Nine Smoke Marsh with death!” “Punish Nine Smoke Marsh!” “Punish Nine Smoke Marsh!” “Punish Nine Smoke Marsh!” Immediately, roars and howls erupted, and all the warriors were filled with endless fighting spirit. “Depart!” the Alliance Leader, with a rock-like face, commanded directly. “Boom!” This massive horde of tribal warriors vanished into thin air within this void. …… In the outer regions of Nine Smoke Marsh. Luo Feng and Wuhe were both in the grass, trying to come up with a plan. With not a single Xuanyu Mountain warrior to be found, their previous plan was now obsolete. “Do I have to use the method of entering the tiger’s den?” Luo Feng mused. Entering the tiger’s den... It was a last resort for Luo Feng. He knew that in Jinzhi, besides his Earthling true body, he also had the Golden Horn Behemoth. And the Golden Horn Behemoth was definitely considered a monstrous beast in Jinzhi. He could completely use the Golden Horn Behemoth as a wandering monstrous beast to enter Nine Smoke Marsh. If it were a wandering tribal warrior, they naturally wouldn’t dare enter Nine Smoke Marsh. But a wandering monstrous beast would dare! Once inside Nine Smoke Marsh... he would then look for an opportunity. He believed that Nine Smoke Marsh would also dispatch teams to join the army within a certain period. At that time, he would blend into a team. As a Law Master, the team wouldn’t be wary of him. He hoped that the team would only be led by a single True God. Once the team was far enough from Nine Smoke Marsh... he would suddenly strike a lethal blow. Eliminate the True God! And easily complete the mission! However, this ‘entering the tiger’s den’ method had many problems. First, he didn’t know how many Cosmic Overlords would join the army; if there were many, they would pose a great threat. Second, he didn’t know how many True Gods Nine Smoke Marsh would send as escorts. After all, Nine Smoke Marsh was much stronger than the Dry Wilds tribe. “Lure them out? Entice them from their lair?” “Infiltrate?” “Or painstakingly hunt Law Masters one by one, spending nearly an epoch to gather ten thousand?” Luo Feng was troubled. All these methods had a chance of success, but also carried immense danger. Only the ‘snipe and clam fight’ strategy would yield the quickest results. As long as a True God from Nine Smoke Marsh died, he would immediately snatch the corpse and flee! With the capabilities of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, he could naturally escape quickly... “Hmm?” Just as Luo Feng was troubled, he suddenly felt something and immediately looked up. He saw that the sky above the distant Nine Smoke Marsh suddenly became ‘pitch black.’ Majestic figures, each tens of thousands of kilometers tall, appeared. At a glance, one could tell that a multitude of ten thousand people was considered a sea of humanity. And these tribal warriors, each with a physique like a towering mountain, numbering in the millions, naturally covered the sky like endless dark clouds. “Ah!” Luo Feng’s eyes widened. He had never witnessed such a shocking scene. “A great battle,” Wuhe’s head shot up beside him, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise and excitement. “A great battle, it’s a great battle, a grand decisive battle between Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh. Not the small-scale skirmishes from before. Hahaha... I’m so excited! I’ve only witnessed one large-scale decisive battle in North True Sea since I was born, because North True Sea is too strong, and no surrounding forces dare to provoke us. Wow, this is exhilarating! Those three at the very front... they must be Void True Gods. Void True Gods are participating! This truly is a grand decisive battle!” Boom~~~~ Boom~~~~ Boom~~~~~ Heaven and earth changed color! Space and time shifted! In an instant, the entire Nine Smoke Marsh area, including Luo Feng and Wuhe in its outer regions, as well as the Captain’s group, Kufa’s group, and Yuluo’s group hidden elsewhere, were naturally completely enveloped. The entire Nine Smoke Marsh! Instantly, the outermost region transformed into a blurry void. The sky above Nine Smoke Marsh, its surroundings, and the area beneath the endless great marsh... all became a hazy void. It was as if... The entire Nine Smoke Marsh was instantly cut off and isolated. “A single thought, and the void forms!” Luo Feng murmured. “Void True Gods...” He had long heard of the terrifying power of Void True Gods. Every Void True God was a hegemon in Jinzhi. If they were in the Universe Ocean... they could transcend reincarnation, establish a Sacred Land Universe, and ensure their race would never fall!
