Chapter 1397
A Clean Sweep
The Purple Moon Holy Land had repeatedly acted against him. Previously, they had even interfered in the 'internal war of the Original Universe,' attempting to destroy humanity's foundation in one fell swoop... and now they wanted to destroy him in Jinzhi World. “Fortunately, fortunately I obtained a title.” “Otherwise, caught off guard, it would have been good enough to self-destruct my clone to save my life.” Luo Feng felt a wave of lingering fear. Without a title, there would have been two outcomes. One was to be directly killed by Hu Hou, which would mean being truly and utterly dead. The second was if his will was strong enough to seize a sliver of time to self-destruct before falling into the illusion! If he could self-destruct, both clones would be destroyed, but his life would be saved. However, the treasures he carried, 'Blood Shadow Blade' and 'Tomb Mausoleum Boat,' would be lost. Especially the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, which contains inheritance spaces. Of course, only the inheritor can enter the inheritance space! And the inheritance space is controlled by his energy clone; even if the enemy obtained it, they couldn't enter. But if they couldn't enter... his true body wouldn't have a chance to enter either, and the energy clone would have to remain in the inheritance space indefinitely. And the inheritance space would be lost outside forever. *** Xueyong looked at Luo Feng: “Yinhe, how will you deal with those two commanders, Hu Hou and Huozhuowu?” Luo Feng frowned, clearly showing anger. Xueyong quickly said: “They didn't know your identity beforehand, Yinhe. They only thought you were an ordinary soldier, which is why they acted that way... Yinhe, please be a little...” “Xueyong,” Luo Feng interrupted him, “Don't worry, I won't go as far as taking their lives. However, to ride roughshod over me, they won't be let off so easily.” Xueyong was overjoyed: “Naturally, Yinhe, just say the word. Granting them their lives would be a tremendous kindness.” Luo Feng nodded: “Their punishment is simple...” Luo Feng spoke at length, causing Xueyong to blink, seemingly surprised that Yinhe, the God King's inheritor, would devise such a method of punishment. “Understood?” Luo Feng asked. *** Huozhuowu and Hu Hou were in a sorry state, bound by ropes of condensed airflow, unable to move, both lying on the ground. Though outwardly disheveled, their hearts were even more anxious and panicked. Both looked at Luo Feng and Xueyong not far away. But even seeing them, they couldn't hear the conversation between the two. “Hu Hou, you've really put me in a bind this time,” Huozhuowu said, both angry and exasperated. “I'm suffering too,” Hu Hou couldn't help but say. “How was I to know? Before, I only knew that the strongest and highest-ranking in our Jinzhi World were the Four Great Generals. Now, suddenly, Lord Yinhe appears! Our Jinzhi World is clearly not as it seems on the surface; it's probably even more mysterious. I never expected us to stumble upon this.” Huozhuowu also shook his head in pain. The Jin Kingdom was destroyed, but among those heaven-defying powerhouses who followed the God King in his campaigns back then, there were quite a few stronger than the Four Great Generals. Perhaps this Yinhe is one of those super powerhouses who followed the God King and is still alive... “Let's wait,” he said. “Hopefully, we'll live.” Huozhuowu and Hu Hou lay on the ground, hoping. Just then, General Xueyong walked over from a distance. “General.” “General.” Their eyes lit up. They were both the General's old subordinates; surely they had a chance to live, right? General Xueyong walked over, looked at Huozhuowu and Hu Hou lying on the ground, and immediately said: “You two are lucky. Lord Yinhe won't go as far as taking your lives.” Hu Hou and Huozhuowu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to be alive, good to be alive! If they had died in a war against other forces, so be it, but to die on their own territory would be too stifling. “However, while capital punishment can be waived, living punishment cannot be avoided,” General Xueyong glanced at them. “You two have accumulated a vast amount of military merit over endless years, and possess many treasures. Now... all your military merit and all your treasures shall be stripped away, as a form of punishment.” “Ah!” Hu Hou and Huozhuowu stared wide-eyed in astonishment. “Heavens, how could this be?” “This, this, this is too much...” “Didn't you hear?” General Xueyong frowned and snapped, “Leave all your treasures and go!” The airflow ropes binding Huozhuowu and Hu Hou automatically disintegrated and dispersed. “If you don't leave your treasures, do you want to leave your lives instead?” A cold glint flashed in General Xueyong's eyes. What was Yinhe's status? He was the God King's most valued inheritor. To the God King, a general could be discarded at will, but an inheritor was different. Did these two mere Void True Gods think they could still bargain? “Yes, yes, yes,” Huozhuowu said first. “Thank you, Lord Yinhe, for sparing our lives, and thank you, General, for your help.” Whoosh~~~ Immediately, a pile of treasures appeared beside him. In an instant, all of Huozhuowu's mechanical-type treasures, soul treasures, armor, weapons, and all other materials were left behind, not a single item remaining. Even the so-called armor he wore at that moment was merely condensed divine power. “Hmm?” Xueyong looked at Hu Hou. Though unwilling, Hu Hou also didn't want to die: “I'll leave them too.” A moment later— After leaving behind a pile of treasures, Hu Hou and Huozhuowu flew away in a sorry state. As they departed, they no longer moved with their previous grandeur; Hu Hou no longer left behind trails of rainbow light as she used to, but instead slunk away silently. No other soldiers witnessed this scene. “They've gone,” General Xueyong said. “Mm.” Luo Feng walked over, looked at all the treasures on the ground, nodded, and with a wave of his hand, collected them all. “I've also transferred all their military merit to you,” General Xueyong sighed. “Your move is truly ruthless. As Law Masters and True Gods, there are army missions to earn military merit. But once they become Void True Gods... there are simply no army missions. It's incredibly difficult to earn military merit, yet you've stripped them of all their accumulated gains from endless years in one go.” Luo Feng smiled; he naturally understood. That's how it is in Jinzhi World. Law Masters and True Gods have army missions, but if Void True God commanders had missions, what would they do? Go kill other Void True Gods in Jinzhi World? So they have no army missions. Unless some foolish Void True God dared to provoke the army, then a few Void True Gods would be dispatched to deal with them, and some military merit would be awarded then. But provoke the army? How many Void True Gods would be foolish enough to dare provoke the army? Therefore, the only way Void True God commanders generally earn military merit is by... commanding armies and teaching armies, because successful command naturally grants a portion of military merit at each stage. But this way, accumulating military merit is too slow. *** General Xueyong also departed. Luo Feng then headed to the armory point. As soon as he entered the grand hall, the world transformed. Whoosh! A golden figure appeared before Luo Feng, extremely respectful: “Greetings, Lord Yinhe.” Luo Feng smiled. Every soldier encountered this golden figure upon entering, but in the past, it was incredibly cold; now, it was very respectful. “There isn't a single soldier around,” Luo Feng looked around. The surroundings were empty, clearly indicating he had been led to an isolated area. “Lord Yinhe, this is the 'Armory Ring,'” the golden figure flipped its hand, and an exquisite ring appeared in its palm. “With this Armory Ring, Lord Yinhe can enter the 'Armory World' at any time, as long as you are in Jinzhi World. There's no need to come to the armory point every time.” Luo Feng's eyes lit up. “Given Lord Yinhe's authority, you are certainly entitled to the Armory Ring.” The Armory Ring in the golden figure's hand flew directly to Luo Feng. Luo Feng reached out and took it. “I want to check the information of all Law Master soldiers who joined the Four Great Armies within the last three epochs,” Luo Feng said. “Also, can you simulate their aura?” “Of course, life aura is the most accurate identifier for confirming their identity, so it can certainly be simulated,” the golden figure said. “Lord Yinhe's authority is sufficient.” Immediately, whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~ Figures began to appear in the space beside them, all simulated soldier figures, comprising all soldiers who had joined the Four Great Armies within the last three epochs. At a glance, they were vast and numerous. “That's a lot,” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “Fortunately, it's only for three epochs.” Luo Feng was among the earliest batch, having entered Jinzhi World just over two epochs ago. The soldiers sent by Purple Moon Holy Land would naturally fall within this timeframe. “Begin.” Luo Feng quickly began to examine them. How swift was a powerhouse's consciousness processing speed and divine power sensing speed? In just a moment, he quickly filtered them out. “Purple Moon Holy Land has 96 members who joined the Four Great Armies,” Luo Feng thought to himself. Actually, Purple Moon Holy Land sent more than this, but joining the army requires screening, and no matter how thoroughly Purple Moon Holy Land prepared, they couldn't achieve a 100% entry rate. “These 96, to kill them...” Luo Feng thought to himself, “I must deal with them all at once, not slowly, or they'll quickly slip away once alerted.” “Hmm?” “No!” As he was pondering how to kill these 96 Universe Masters from Purple Moon Holy Land, Luo Feng's expression subtly changed. “If I kill them this time, won't Purple Moon Holy Land be alerted? Then, in the next epoch, will Purple Moon Holy Land still send Universe Masters in?” *** Original Universe, Original Secret Realm. Within the Endless Dark Sea. “Teacher,” a figure appeared amidst the vast waves, it was Luo Feng. “Luo Feng,” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, “You said you have the authority to kill all Universe Masters from Purple Moon Holy Land in Jinzhi World?” “Mm.” Luo Feng nodded. The Wuqilou mission, the God King's deal with him, and so on... Luo Feng wouldn't reveal everything. “This Purple Moon Holy Land has always been against humanity,” Luo Feng said in a low voice. “If not for my different status and authority in Jinzhi World this time, I might have almost been killed by them. This time, I must retaliate properly. I'll make sure Purple Moon Holy Land can't recover its vitality for several reincarnation epochs. However, I was thinking, only a portion entered in the second epoch, and they'll probably send in many more in the third epoch. The third epoch is approaching quickly. At that time, we'll sweep them all up!” Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: “Good! The first epoch was just exploration, and they only sent a portion in the second epoch. A larger batch will enter in the third epoch. By then, most of the major forces in our Universe Ocean will have entered. To make a move, we indeed have to wait until the third epoch!” “And there's more! We shouldn't just target Purple Moon Holy Land,” Chaos City Lord continued. “We should also target the allied camp. That allied camp and our human camp have been fighting constantly. Although we currently have a slight advantage, who knows how long it will take to truly gain an absolute advantage. In Jinzhi World, you can wipe them all out... the Monster Race, Insectoid Race, Mechanical Race, and so on—their strength will definitely weaken, leaving them with no power to resist.” Chaos City Lord's eyes gleamed with madness and anticipation.
