Luo Feng turned to the size of a speck of dust. He was moving forward at an incredible speed among the purple vines. Though he appeared minuscule, his speed still caused ripples, and they could be found by godly power sensing.
Hong!
Over 10,000 true gods were fighting each other, and the ripples were chaotic. Only those close to Luo Feng could find that ripple; others couldn’t notice anything.
“It’s there.”
Luo Feng raced toward the body. That true god strange beast’s body was lay in the giant marsh, and over half of the hundreds-of-thousands-of-kilometers-long body was covered by the marsh. As Luo Feng approached it, three true gods were fighting each other near it. Two tribal true gods were encircling a strange beast true god.
“Huh?”
All three of them had their eyes on that tiny ripple, and they immediately knew what it was coming from. All of them saw the tiny body of Luo Feng.
“Law master!”
“A law master stole the body of a great being from Nine Smoke Marsh. Those body-stealers must be under a military task. The task is indeed difficult, but stealing bodies of great beings from Nine Smoke Marsh is punishable by death.”
The true gods immediately stopped fighting each other. For a long time, Nine Smoke Marsh and Xuan Yu Mountain had been fighting each other.
However, the battles were not just for benefits but also for training law masters. Weak law masters would utilize all their power. As for true gods and true gods of void space, they all restrained their power in battle. Weak true gods were killed every time, but as for those who had been trained in the military, they rarely died. Everyone had a consensus. However, dead bodies of true gods being stolen as trophies wasn’t tolerated by those living true gods.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
Three beings flew toward Luo Feng like three streaks of light and tried to block him.
Hua!
Three beings like rainbows dashed toward a spot as tiny as a speck of dust.
“I’ve been found!” Luo Feng took a look at the three flying streaks of light. “Only three true gods. Nothing to worry about.”
Peng!
Three beings swept in. They figured there was nothing for them to hide anymore.
Hong!
Luo Feng’s godly body expanded to 100,000 kilometers tall.

The team captain and his soldiers were watching the fight among true gods carefully near the periphery of the true-god-level warzone. Many of them had their attention on the true god bodies of Nine Smoke Marsh.
“Someone tried to seize the bodies!” a soldier said, transmitting his voice.
The team captain and the others looked.
“There he is.” The team captain laughed. “See? This one who tried to seize the bodies was careful, yet he’s still being chased by three true gods. Why? Because I seized a body before, so now, they’re more careful with it! If you go, you’ll be encircled by three true gods as well, and if you can’t get away quickly enough, there might be five, seven, or even ten true gods encircling you.”
The soldiers all felt intimidated.
“Let’s see which arrogant guy it is. Ku Fa or Yu Luo?” The team captain felt relaxed.
“It must be that idiot Yu Luo,” said a soldier.
Hong!
Luo Feng’s godly body suddenly expanded.
“It’s—it’s…” All of them looked at Luo Feng’s face, dazed.
“It’s the new soldier!”
“It’s Milky Way!”
“It’s that newcomer, Milky Way! He… he dares to snatch bodies like the captain?” Everyone was bewildered.
“He’s dead meat,” the captain said coldly.
The captain knew exactly how terrible the situation was that this newcomer Milky Way faced. Even the captain had needed to use his most precious machine-type valuables to utilize his power. Otherwise, he couldn’t have gotten away.
“He’s dead.”
“Let’s see how he’ll die.”
The soldiers were all watching. This new teammate was a complete stranger to them.
Luo Feng’s godly body bulged. One of his hands held the blade’s handle while the other held the blade itself. He resisted the three traces of light on his side. He then dashed toward the body of the true god more quickly.
“Great power borrowing.”
“He can borrow power under the attacks of true gods. No wonder he’s in Python River Army.” Those soldiers all nodded and complimented. The power borrowing seemed simple, but they needed to be well trained to master it.
The captain nodded. “That newbie is doing okay. Unfortunately, he was given a catastrophe-level task. The three true gods are coming, and based on the speed, that newcomer won’t be able to make it to the body.”
They kept watching. Luo Feng raced toward the body of the true god while being followed by three furious true gods.
“He’s dead.”
“What a pity.”
Everyone pretended to sigh.
“It’s…” Just when the captain opened his mouth, he was so shocked that he couldn’t continue speaking. It was as if someone were choking him.
All the team members looked into the distance in surprise. It was a terrific view completely beyond their imagination.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Luo Feng was holding a blade, and the blade moved like a phantom. His body was strictly following the blade’s movements, and the entire body turned into a phantom. Under the combined attack of the three true gods, that blade phantom looked blurry. They hit each other several times, and he immediately flew out from the encirclement of the three true gods.
Luo Feng had been training in the Space of Inheritance for over 8 million eras, and this was one of his two largest gains: a close-combat defense technique called “Flowing Gold”!
All 18 soldiers, including the captain, watched the scene in a daze. It was unbelievable. A mere law master dad dodged an encirclement of three true gods! Even the captain, who had been through countless incarnation tasks, knew that he couldn’t easily get away from three true gods. It was a terrific dodging technique.
“You two, tell me your names and your advantages.”
“I am Wu He. I’m good at… I’m good at… Oh, I have a large enough godly body, which is over one million kilometers tall.”
“I am Milky Way. I am stronger than Wu He. I’m good at close combat dodging.”
The stupefied captain recalled the first conversation he’d had with that newcomer Milky Way.
“Good at? Just good at?” The captain was thrilled. “I’ve never seen a law master so good at close-combat dodging.”
Little did he know was that Luo Feng had the space of inheritance, which was the area of cultivation for each generation of inheritance from Duan Dong River! Other than the time acceleration, there was a virtual space for trials and combat. There were 282 competitors, including each generation of Duan Dong River! The most powerful ones were the three ancestral teachers.
Over the past eight million eras, Luo Feng had gained the least in blade techniques. After all, for each generation of Duan Dong River, only part of them created a blade technique at top-tier level seven. Luo Feng had created a blade technique at level seven, “Light of Water and Fire,” based on his already created blade technique “Nirvana Incarnation.” This was only a small part of the gains he had made in the past eight million eras.
One of the two greatest gains was his close combat body technique, “Flowing Gold.” It was difficult to improve blade techniques, so Luo Feng had started to study close combat body techniques, and he often fought the competitors in the virtual space—even the three ancestral teachers. However, the three ancestral teachers could easily crush Luo Feng even if they only used the godly power of law masters.
After all, the three ancestral teachers had such extraordinary techniques that they stood among the top beings of the ancient civilization. Under such training, he had learned from the past generations and those ingenious techniques. Thus, he had finally created Flowing Gold!
Lots of great inheritance techniques, great beings from the virtual space, training, and comprehension—all these combined had led to the technique.
******
All those 18 soldiers, including the captain, were astounded as they watched what was happening.
That Milky Way had first used his incredible dodging technique to escape from the three true gods. Then, he had arrived beside the body of the true god, taking the body. He then had raced toward another path, his body moving like a giant blade racing forward. Even with two true gods trying to stop him, he still lost the two with his great evasion techniques.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Luo Feng went inside the great vines and disappeared.
“Madness.”
“It’s too incredible.”
“How can someone have such an incredible technique?”
All the soldiers were shocked to their core. “If he’s caught in a fight between two powers, with his evasion technique, he can survive even after all the law universes and most true gods die.”
Everyone was frightened, including the team captain. He had been through lots of training and various difficulties, and he thought he definitely stood among the top law masters—even among the entire east army, few could outmatch him. Yet he hadn’t expected the existence of a law master who was so great at evading.
“Without machine-type valuables, I would be crushed by him if we’re in a fair fight.” The captain was greatly intimidated. “Of course, when it comes to battle, weapons and machine-type valuables are also important. With a machine-type valuable, my power will greatly surge, so I can still suppress and even kill him!”
After all, some powerful machine-type valuables could greatly improve great being’s power.
