Chapter 1356

True God-tier Battlefield

Luo Feng gently shook his head. “You idiot!” Wuhe was truly anxious. He had followed Luo Feng when they first joined the army, seeing that Luo Feng could defeat him and that they were the only two new recruits. According to his experience, temporarily showing weakness and sticking with Luo Feng meant that if danger arose, with his life-saving trump cards, Luo Feng would die first. He never expected Luo Feng to be so reckless. He dared not continue this madness with Luo Feng. If they kept this up, Luo Feng would die, and Wuhe himself would likely not escape the True God-tier melee. Wuhe transmitted angrily, “You don’t understand what a disaster-level mission means at all. Since that’s the case, you fight your fight, and I’ll fight mine! I’m not staying with you.” Whoosh! Wuhe immediately and quietly departed, swiftly approaching the chaotic battlefield. Luo Feng watched Wuhe leave, sighing softly. His only companion since joining the army had also left. “He never truly trusted me,” Luo Feng shook his head, still silently observing the grand melee in the sky from within the tall grass. After watching for a long time, he finally began to move stealthily. … The entire Nine Smoke Marsh had three major battlefields. These were the Law Master battlefield, which was the most numerous and chaotic; the True God-tier battlefield, with over ten thousand True Gods; and the Void Battlefield, where six Void True Gods clashed. Among them, the Law Master battlefield covered the largest area and was very dispersed. Law Masters were fighting everywhere—in the sky, in the swamps, and deep within the swamps. Although True Gods also fought in both the sky and the swamps, their battles were highly concentrated, mainly in the Purple Vine Marsh area of Nine Smoke Marsh. After all, their numbers were not too great, and the Purple Vine Marsh area was sufficient for their clashes. In this area, the Law Masters unanimously avoided getting close. After all, in a True God melee, being caught in the crossfire could easily lead to death. … “True God-tier battlefield.” Luo Feng advanced stealthily, moving incredibly fast towards the True God-tier battlefield. However, he encountered three skirmishes along the way. These were Law Masters from the Nine Smoke Marsh faction who, upon seeing Luo Feng, immediately identified him as a warrior from Xuanyu Mountain. In those three skirmishes, Luo Feng only wanted to reach the True God-tier battlefield as soon as possible and wasn’t interested in bullying Law Masters. But the opponents insisted on charging into danger, and Luo Feng had no choice. Without intending to, Luo Feng killed one Law Master in each of these three encounters. After a long while— Luo Feng stood on a swamp, gazing into the distance. “It’s right there.” Luo Feng watched quietly. In the distance, the swamp was covered with abundant purple vines and grass. This was the ‘Purple Vine Marsh’ area of Nine Smoke Marsh. Above this area, numerous True God beasts and tribal True Gods were clashing. There were even many True Gods bursting out of the vibrating swamp, indicating a melee was also happening beneath the surface. “It seems they don’t want too many casualties,” Luo Feng observed. “The True Gods from both sides are fighting in a mixed fashion, intertwined with each other. This way, there won’t be any large-scale, collective attacks.” In these one-on-one or two-on-one skirmishes, a True God would only fall after a long time. However, if there were collective attacks, several would perish in a single sweep. Both sides, by unspoken agreement, charged into the enemy’s ranks and engaged in mixed combat. After all, True Gods were different from Law Masters; True Gods were fewer in number, and no super-force could afford to waste True God powerhouses on a large scale. “Corpses.” Luo Feng looked on expectantly. He was waiting for True God-tier corpses to appear. … While Luo Feng hid not far from the True God-tier battlefield, quietly waiting for the opportune moment, another team of Law Masters was also concealed in a more distant outer area of the True God-tier battlefield. “Captain, that was incredible! The True God-tier battlefield is so terrifying, yet you effortlessly secured a True God corpse.” “Amazing!” “Yes, Captain, it seemed so easy for you. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have survived.” Eighteen Law Masters were hidden in the distant tall grass. They were the squad members under the captain of this Python River Army team. The other soldiers were praising their captain. Just a short while ago, the captain had displayed his strength by incredibly daringly snatching a True God corpse from the Nine Smoke Marsh faction. Their praise stemmed from two reasons: first, genuine admiration for the captain’s power, and second, the hope that the captain would acquire more True God corpses to help them complete their army mission. “Alright,” the captain, who had been enjoying the praise, finally transmitted. Other soldiers might not know, but the captain was well aware of how perilous it had been. “Once is enough, twice is not,” the captain swept his gaze around, directly crushing the hopes of some soldiers. “Before, no Law Master dared to approach the True God-tier battlefield. My sudden appearance to snatch a corpse caught them off guard, and they were unprepared… That’s how I managed to escape quickly. Even so, I took one hit. If I had been a little slower, and a few True Gods had surrounded me…” The captain shook his head as he spoke. He had experienced too many missions, surviving countless army missions, even reincarnation-level ones. He knew clearly that at critical moments, one must act decisively and take risks! He had brought this group of soldiers… but it was better to secure one corpse first for himself to complete his mission, then slowly help the other soldiers later. “Captain…” Each soldier looked at him. “I won’t abandon you,” the captain transmitted. “If I were going to, I would have left this instant. Wait. When the opportunity arises, you all follow my instructions, and I will do my best to help you.” “Captain, just give the order, and we will obey.” The soldiers said this, but their hearts were filled with worry. Regardless, the captain already had one True God corpse, enough for his military merits. But there were 17 other soldiers, meaning they needed 17 True God beast corpses from the Nine Smoke Marsh faction. “Getting 17 True God corpses…” Each soldier worried. “The captain made it look easy earlier. As long as you catch them off guard, snatch the corpse incredibly fast, and then immediately flee. Even I might succeed.” Among those soldiers, some felt the captain had it easy and thought that while it would be risky for them, they might succeed. If it came down to it, and they still hadn’t gotten a corpse, they would be desperate enough to try. The captain scanned them, frowning as he transmitted, “Remember, once is enough, twice is not. They were careless the first time, but they’ll be vigilant the second. Those True Gods didn’t catch me, and they won’t let me succeed again. You must not take risks. If anyone does, I will immediately leave this battlefield.” “Yes.” “We won’t act recklessly,” they all responded. The captain and his squad patiently waited for their chance. … Luo Feng was also waiting. He just didn’t know that the captain and his squad were also in the vicinity of this area. After all, the captain was far more experienced, making plans and decisions more decisively. He had arrived earlier than Luo Feng and had already secured a True God corpse. “One Thought Void.” “The entire Nine Smoke Marsh is enveloped by the Void. Within this range, all domain-type supreme treasures and the like are ineffective. Even if the Shi Wu Wing were still active, its control over space-time would likely be useless.” Luo Feng understood this. On this battlefield, only Void True Gods could control the overall situation. Other True Gods and Law Masters could only rely on their eyes and divine power for sensing. “I can only rely on my eyes and divine power for sensing.” Luo Feng also watched intently. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Like the sky collapsing and the earth rending. The True God battlefield was a scene of utter chaos. Luo Feng, from a distance, meticulously observed every detail, waiting for an opportunity to arise. “Bang!” A hideous body was blasted out of the muddy swamp, tumbling and rolling through the air. Its massive body rolled, seemingly unconscious. Immediately after, a lightning-fast tribal True God figure burst from the swamp, holding a strange stone staff with an extremely sharp tip. He raised the staff high, and as the beast’s body flew and tumbled, he plunged it down with force! Pfft! The sharp tip of the stone staff pierced directly into the beast’s head. This thrust pinned the tumbling beast’s corpse into the swamp, its massive body crashing down and splashing water everywhere. The stone staff, embedded in the True God beast’s head, emitted terrifying fluctuations. “Aieee~~~~” Accompanied by a painful cry, the True God beast finally lowered its head and became motionless. “Hahahaha…” The tribal True God immediately laughed wildly and unrestrainedly. “Boom!” Almost simultaneously, three beast figures swept over. “Only bullying the little ones without True God-tier combat armor.” “Damn it.” “Scum of the Xuanyu Mountain tribe.” The three True God beasts roared as they charged, making the tribal True God dare not confront them and immediately flee. As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmons. Among the numerous True God beasts and tribal True Gods, more than half had never joined the army! So, there were indeed many without ‘True God-tier combat armor’ protecting them. For instance, the True God beast that Hengxing Moshen encountered when he first descended also lacked True God-tier combat armor. … Far in the distance. “A True God corpse! From the Nine Smoke Marsh faction!” The soldiers under the captain’s command were all envious. “Don’t take risks! I told you, don’t take risks.” The captain scanned the surroundings. His prestige and strength forced the soldiers to suppress their envy, as they themselves lacked confidence and wanted the captain to act for them… but the captain wasn’t foolish… … At another distant location on the True God-tier battlefield. Luo Feng was also watching, staring at the hideous corpse lying in the swamp far away. Its hundreds of thousands of kilometers long body was mostly submerged beneath the swamp water, with the rest exposed. “A True God corpse, from the Nine Smoke Marsh faction.” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Luo Feng scanned the positions of the other True Gods on the battlefield, sensing with his divine power, constantly and precisely confirming each location. “Right now, they’re in a melee. Even if they try to stop me, based on their distances, at most five True Gods would be able to intercept me. Only five True Gods… no threat!” Eight possible routes flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. He immediately took action, and as he approached, he continuously adjusted his route and calculated the danger based on the movements of the True Gods in their melee. Whoosh! “Approaching the danger zone.” “From now on, I could be discovered at any second. The later I’m discovered, the easier it will be to escape.” Luo Feng had already plunged into the terrifying True God-tier battlefield, which felt like the sky was collapsing and the earth rending.“,
