“Haha! We survived . ”

“We have made it into the East Army . ”

“That was one scary fellow with his blade . Luckily, he was engaged in a fight with Wu He from Northern True Ocean . If not, we would have been in deep trouble . ”

The warriors and beasts who had managed to survive were all highly excitable, with only a handful mourning the deaths of their fellow companions who had been annihilated . Since youth, they had witnessed the annihilation of scores of companions, so this was nothing new .

There was a legend that the whole World of Jin knew: Annihilation was the manifestation of reincarnation . The living souls of the World of Jin knew this by heart, so they would silently send their partners off with blessings and not be overly upset . After all, anyone on the path of great beings was destined for a high probability of annihilation! Just to enter the army, two-thirds would have lost their lives . What might happen thereafter was not a difficult guess .

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

“Let’s go quickly . ”

In the desolated desert space, a huge, arched door appeared out of nowhere . From it, three true gods, all shouting at the top of their voices, walked out . The surviving warriors and beasts walked over obediently and immediately; after all, they were about to undergo the next round of selection .

“The two of you,” said one of the true god warriors . He was clothed in dark red armor with a large tail and gazed at Luo Feng and his unusual beast companion with the single, red eye on his head . “Follow me . I will bring both of you to Python River Army . ”

“All right,” Luo Feng replied .

The unusual beast, which was badly battered, also replied, “All right . ”

The two followed this true god, who was the first to head outside via the arched door .

“Milky Way, good luck!” Northern Wind shouted .

Luo Feng also turned his head to shout, “Good luck!”

Just like that, the two parted ways . Within the army, it was not up to their will to do as they pleased . Northern Wind’s ability was still far from the expectations of Python River Army . He might have been considered an elite, but he was not considered to be a true genius, so he would not be accepted into the army at the beginning . If he could demonstrate outstanding performance in the period that followed, there was a chance he could still be accepted into the special troop .

The only problem was that by then, it might no longer be the Python River Army but some other special army troop .

******

Luo Feng and the beast followed behind the single-eyed true god to fly within the vast army camp . They flew at the speed of light .

“All of space is completely sealed . ” Luo Feng muttered under his breath . “Seems like within the army camp, it is impossible to teleport . ”

“I am Wu He from the Northern True Ocean,” a voice resounded . “My father is the master of Northern True Ocean!”

Luo Feng turned around and grinned . “I am Milky Way! Everywhere can be home to me!”

“Oh!” This beast, “Wu He,” nodded his hideous head to show that he understood .

In the World of Jin, wars between tribes and wars between beasts were common and all too frequent . Some of the tribespeople lost their homes as a result and were forced to become refugees roaming about! Of course, there were some who were willing to roam about to hone their skills and abilities .

“You are very impressive,” Wu He complimented .

Luo Feng smiled and returned the compliment . “You are not too bad yourself . ”

“There are many special troops within the East Army . Python River Army is just one of the many,” Wu He explained . “During the initial screening we had to go through when we first join the army, that is when they identify the extraordinary talents . It is extremely rare to be chosen for this special troop . In particular, the others will be further deployed to other troops… which is why, within a short period of time, the new recruits for Python River Army will only be the two of us . For those of us who have just joined the army, the veterans will look down on us . We have to join forces . ”

“Join forces?” Luo Feng was shocked .

“The life of a soldier is a life of battle,” Wu He said . “These experienced warriors were accepted into the special troops because they were outstanding to begin with . They had their inheritance of the army and long-term cultivation . With these factors combined—along with the rich experience they gained from life-and-death situations that allowed them to hone their skills whenever they go out to fight battles—indeed, they will be very impressive . ”

Luo Feng nodded to show that he understood .

Impressive? What a joke .

The warriors of Python River Army might have been really impressive, but compared to one who owned the inheritance of Duan Dong River, they were still a notch lower—unless they had automaton type treasures that could allow them to bypass levels and unleash stronger powers!

******

The army camp of the East Army was so massive that it was said to be endlessly vast .

Luo Feng and Wu He followed that single-eyed true god, flying if he flew and traveling via wormhole transportation if he did so . It took around half a day’s time to finally arrive before an incomparably towering hall . Inside, there were many people and beasts all over the place .

“The two of you, wait here,” the single-eyed true god ordered .

Luo Feng and Wu He obediently waited outside the towering hall while the single-eyed true god entered alone .

“What is this place?” Luo Feng asked Wu He, who was right beside him .

“This is one of the military points . ” Wu He swayed his head, and the two wings on his neck were set to a fanning motion . “The military supplies for our Python River Army should be found here . Look, there are many warriors going in . They must be here to change their military arms . ”

“Change their military arms?” Luo Feng was taken aback .

“Yes!” Wu He nodded his huge head as he said in a low voice, “All warriors relied on the various battles they fought to hone and train their skills! Time and again, training and honing of skills via life-and-death situations have seen to the annihilation of many warriors… For ordinary warriors, their chances of annihilation will be pretty high . But for us, warriors of the Python River Army, if we were subjected to situations involving the same level of danger, I’m afraid, not many will be annihilated . What we have to go through will definitely be more dangerous compared to them! Similarly, the spoils of our victory can be used to change for military credits, which can, in turn, be used to exchange for armaments . The more military credits, the more outstanding one is and the more benefits can be exchanged . You can even exchange for a group of true gods to form your personal team of bodyguards . This is also possible… Of course, the amount of military credits required is a fearsome sum . ”

Luo Feng laughed . A personal team of bodyguards? What a pity that the natives would die the moment they stepped out of the World of Jin .

“There are also automaton type treasures here?” Luo Feng asked .

“Of course there are . ” Wu He’s cold eyes flashed with a glimmer of excitement as he said, “There are many powerful automaton type treasures, but the amount of military credits required is outrageously high . The more magical these automaton type treasures are, the more precious they are! Back then, my father also managed to seize a powerful automaton type treasure . Even after he had retired from the fighting scene, he was still a dominating figure throughout the Northern True Ocean . However, to seize powerful automaton type treasures, even a true god will need an extremely long time to accumulate military credits . For us—mere law masters—the rate at which we accumulate military credits will be even slower . If we want to obtain those powerful automaton type treasures… It will be very difficult . Even if we manage to, it will take a long, long time . ”

Luo Feng took everything to heart . It would take that long?

The World of Jin was an incomparably ancient world to begin with . A single reincarnation era might be regarded as a normal length of time in the World of Jin . After all, there were many true gods here, with quite a handful of true gods of void space . If even Wu He believed that this was a “very, very long” time… it seemed an extremely long period would be required .

And coming from Universe Ocean, time was what Luo Feng lacked .

“It has arrived . ” Wu He looked off into the distance .

Luo Feng also looked over . They could see that from the military points of the great hall, the single-eyed true god was walking out . With a single wave, he sent two streams of rays descending to land before Luo Feng and Wu He .

“The two of you might only be law masters,” said the single-eyed true god, “but you are now entering the Python River Army, so you can get this true god level armor—a set of true god level Python River Armor—is actually just Python River Armor . ” He gave Luo Feng and the beast, Wu He, a quick look . “It can allow you to stay alive for a longer period in the midst of a life-and-death battle, especially as new recruits . You will need to ensure that you can endure and live on . All right . Now, follow me to Python River Army . ”

Luo Feng held the armor, feeling its oppressive force . True god level armor? In Universe Ocean, it would be supreme true treasure armor! Yet in the World of Jin, it was only the standard armor of a true god . Any warrior who was an ordinary law master would not be qualified to own this armor . For a special troop, however, things had to be a little more special .

“Seems like…” Luo Feng said quietly to himself, “battle armor is also divided into different levels, like true god level, true god of void space level… So obviously, supreme true treasures will also be different in strength—strong or weak . This must be an ordinary supreme true treasure . I suppose Black Prison Tower and Yan Jun Rod would both be regarded as ordinary supreme true treasures . Shi Wu Wings and Star Tower are obviously a little more special . ”

The single-eyed true god looked behind him and swept through the surroundings . “Quick . Get the armor to recognize you as their masters and put them on! All warriors of Python River Army must wear that . ”

“Understood,” Luo Feng replied .

“This is not even as good as mine,” Wu He said, transmitting the message only to Luo Feng .

Luo Feng laughed to himself .

When he had first come in, he did not even bring Shi Wu Wings or Star Tower, which meant he did have an urgent need for this Python River Armor .

“Getting it to recognize its master is easy . ” Luo Feng speedily succeeded in getting the treasure to recognize him as its master . It was not very difficult—probably on the same level as Yan Jun Rod .

Hua!

He quickly stored Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor while the Python River Armor was rapidly appearing on his body . Soon, the dark red armor had fully appeared over his entire body . On the helmet was a skull modeled into the form of a “strange python . ” There were also circular black lines all over the dark red armor .

Beside him, Wu He, the beast, had rapidly transformed into a dark red beast . On the surface of its body were similar black lines .

******

This time, Luo Feng and the others spent a full three days within the army camp and finally arrived before a vast lake . There were numerous islands on the vast lake—as many as trillions of them—and the diameter of the entire lake was so vast that it had to be measured in light years . At first glance, dark red figures could be spotted .

“One look at them, you know they are warriors of Python River Army,” Luo Feng said to himself .

All of them wore dark red armor, and on their helmets were the same strange python shapes .

“These are your new recruits for your Python River Army!” the single-eyed true god shouted . His powerful voice spread out to transmit the message to every corner of this vast lake . “Divide your large team into six smaller groups and assign them somewhere . ” When he finished shouting his message, he shot a quick look at Luo Feng and Wu He . “Hopefully, I will still see you guys the next time around . ”

Shua!

He transformed into a streak of flowing light and departed speedily .

Shortly after, numerous figures could be seen flashing in the distance . They appeared to be teleporting . Teleportation was impossible in the main surroundings of the external region, but in a certain area within that lake, it was possible to teleport! More than 20 figures were teleporting over very quickly, and soon, they were suspended in space beside Luo Feng and Wu He . Some were humanoid life forms while others took the form of beasts .

They were all scrutinizing Luo Feng and Wu He .

Wu He lifted his chin proudly as he shouted, “My father is the master of Northern True Ocean . ”

Of the 20-plus figures suspended in the space above, a tall and burly man immediately replied, “In the army, your father cannot help you no matter how impressive he is . The two of you, report your names and tell us what you are good at . ”

“I am Wu He!” Wu He roared . “I’m skilled in… I’m good in… Well, my godly body is big enough . My godly body is more than one million kilometers in length . ”

“Yes, you do have quite a big godly body,” said the big, burly man . He looked at Luo Feng . “What about you?”

“I am Milky Way,” Luo Feng replied . “I am more powerful than Wu He in terms of ability, and I am more skilled in close-combat evasion . ”

Beneath a gigantic pair of curved horns, the burly man’s gray eyes gazed at Luo Feng and Wu He . “Both of you are gifted with talents that can be considered at the ordinary standard of my Python River Army . However, in half a month’s time, six of our troops will be going out… It is just your luck . The two of you have to make full use of your time and train to the best of your abilities so you can to brush up your skills! The moment you join us, you are met with a mission ranked at a ‘catastrophe’ level… How unlucky can you be?”
