“The gap between the ordinary army and special army is huge.” Rampaging Devil God recalled the valuable list and military credits requirement. “Many special weapons, special valuables, and strong inheritances can’t be exchanged by the ordinary army even if they have military credits! Even if some can be exchanged, it requires a much greater price than the special army. I’m only average, even in the ordinary army. As for the special army?”

Rampaging Devil God shook his head. He wasn’t suicidal.

Regardless, Rampaging Devil God thought. I’m only in the World of Jin for opportunities. I’ll go back to Universe Ocean in the future. After all, if I can’t transcend incarnations in three universe eras, I’ll die. Hmm… The most important thing is to fully comprehend this set of attack type supreme true treasures and improve my power! Once I fully comprehend it, I’ll be a top-tier being in the ordinary army.

He exchanged for a supreme true treasure palace and set attack type supreme true treasures. The set supreme true treasures were the most expensive. They also contained incredible techniques. Once he fully comprehended them, it would help him to break through, and he might someday reach the level of a limit true god.

“That’s right. I need to get as many military credits as possible. I’ll get more supreme true treasures, take them back to Universe Ocean, and exchange them for other great beings.” Rampaging Devil God’s eyes gleamed. “The supreme true treasures in Universe Ocean are at different levels. Some are at the true god level while some are at the true god of void space level. I’ll then exchange them back in the World of Jin. Haha… But I need to hurry up. The more time that passes, the more individuals will know about this secret. Let’s go back to the camp.”

Rampaging Devil God walked out of the arms palace with another strange beast soldier.

Nine Smoke Marsh was a vast swamp. There were countless strange beasts living here, so it was a great power made of strange beasts.

Hu!

On the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh, a black ship appeared. It was hiding in the grass growing around the marsh.

The cabin door opened. Beings flew out, and the spaceship disappeared.

“We’ve arrived at Nine Smoke Marsh,” said Ku Fa in a clear voice. He looked around. All the soldiers were careful. “Milky Way and Wu He, we’ll separate here. Good luck.”

Ku Fa and his soldiers looked at Luo Feng and Wu He. Lots of soldiers sent them their best wishes.

“Thank you,” said Luo Feng and Wu He.

Luo Feng and Wu He thought the best of the Ku Fa team out of all the three teams. However, it was still natural for them not to take have brought along for the catastrophe-level task.

“Let’s go.”

Luo Feng and Wu He flew away like streaks of light in the grass. Ku Fa and the other soldiers watched as Luo Feng and Wu He flew away.

“The two newcomers have flown away. It’s time for us to act.” Ku Fa looked around.

******

There was roaring everywhere in the clouds. Luo Feng and Wu He hid carefully in the grass at the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh.

“When I was in Northern True Ocean, I could roam that place, and nobody dared to bother me!” Wu He bellowed. “However, I have to be this careful in Nine Smoke Marsh.”

“Okay,” said Luo Feng. “We need to at least survive this task. If we can’t, even your father can’t save you.”

Wu He nodded and asked, “What should we do, Milky Way? 10,000 military credits… There are too many strange beasts in Nine Smoke Marsh. We’ll definitely be found if we get caught in a fight. With our power, we can’t even kill one strange beast true god—let alone two!”

Luo Feng frowned. Kill a true god? If he fully utilized all his power, he could kill a true god, but it would take a very long time. In an environment like Nine Smoke Marsh, it would be impossible for him to attack a true god for that long.

“Do you have any ideas, Milky Way?” Wu He asked nervously.

“What are you so anxious about?” Luo Feng yelled. “The time limit is the next task, which is almost one era! It’s a very long time, so we can spend that time looking for opportunities.”

Wu He was relieved. “Indeed, it’s a long time, but I can’t come up with any ideas.”

“Wu He.” Luo Feng looked at Wu He. “If you will follow my lead, we can act together. If you won’t follow my lead, we will have to act alone.”

“Huh?” Wu He’s eyes gleamed. “What have you got, Milky Way? As long as you have good ideas, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do, short of killing myself.”

“We need to come up with some ideas,” said Luo Feng. “We need to learn more about the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. We must find opportunities to better understand the situation. It would be stupid of us to make plans without understanding this place.”

Wu He nodded.

“Let’s go!” Luo Feng yelled.

******

Luo Feng took Wu He and started to inspect the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. He needed to take everything into consideration.

Half a year passed.

Hua! Hua!

The wind was blowing, pushing down the grass. The two tiny beings in it looked out like ants.

Dozens of beings were locked in a battle in the distance.

“Bastards from Xuan Yu Mountain, how dare you come here again!” roared a strange beast covered in scales. It had four claws, a long neck, and a triangular head. “You were defeated last time! Go! Kill those bastards from Xuan Yu Mountain!”

There were 12 strange beasts that looked exactly like him.

“Howl!”

“Bastards!”

“Bastards from Xuan Yu Mountain!”

“Kill them!”

The strange beasts roared and fought tall warriors wielding weapons. The tall warriors in human form were all yelling insanely.

“Last time, we defeated you! Go, brothers! Kill those strange beasts!”

“Kill!”

All the tribal warriors roared and dashed at the strange beasts, fighting ferociously. The time and space around them trembled, and the fighting was brutal. There were more tribal warriors, yet the strange beasts had larger godly bodies.

“Milky Way, they are fighting each other.” Wu He stared at the fight while transmitting his voice. “Besides, they don’t even have true-god-level armor to protect themselves, and they’re fighting each other recklessly. Their godly bodies will be quickly consumed. Some might die after a short time. We can wait and get those remaining weapons to claim them as our military credits.

The body of a true god was the proof of successfully killing one, while plundered weapons were the proof of successfully killing a law master. Besides, the military would confirm with Nine Smoke Marsh later. As long as they had the weapons and the strange beasts were dead, the military credits could be claimed.

“No need to hurry!” Luo Feng transmitted his yelling voice.

Wu He was nervous. “We’ve inspected the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh for a long time, yet we haven’t gotten any military credits.”

“Why are you so anxious?” said Luo Feng. “We’ve spotted three battles during our inspection of the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. The area is enormous, and what we’ve inspected is barely the tip of an iceberg, yet we still saw three battles. How many battles are there at the periphery?”

Wu He was dazed. “Like, 10,000? Milk Way!” Wu He gaped at Luo Feng in surprise, immediately understanding his meaning.

“You must also have noticed that other strange beasts in Nine Smoke Marsh are able to sense the ripples of those battles, yet they’re not coming to interfere,” Luo Feng said, transmitting his voice. “I didn’t hear anything special from the two previous battles, but I heard Xuan Yu Mountain this time. What power is Xuan Yu Mountain?”

“Xuan Yu Mountain?” said Wu He. “Xuan Yu Mountain is a great power next to Nine Smoke Marsh, and it’s just as powerful. Nine Smoke Marsh is a strange beast power led by three true gods of void space, while Xuan Yu Mountain is a tribal alliance led by four true gods of void space. These two powers are too powerful, so there are rarely fights between them. If there is a battle, it is always brutal.”

Luo Feng nodded. Thoughts flooded his mind. “When the two powers are not in a fight, will there be so many warriors and strange beasts fighting each other?” asked Luo Feng.

“No,” answered Wu He. “When they’re not at war, they restrict their respective warriors so that they won’t start a fight.”

Luo Feng smiled. “However, we’ve watched three fights, which means Xuan Yu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh are currently engaged in battle! There might be a pause, which is why those law masters are fighting each other…”

“You mean…?” said Wu He.

“Now that Xuan Yu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh are in a fight,” said Luo Feng, “let’s get the true gods from both sides fight each other. Then we can collect the bodies.”

“A fight between true gods?” Wu He shook his head. “Impossible.”

“It is, indeed, nearly impossible to get a large group of true gods in a fight. However, it’s possible to get individual true gods to fight.”

Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed. He’d already had a plan in his mind.

“Follow me,” he said.

Luo Feng and Wu He disappeared from the grass.
