1378 Endless Hope

The other three leaders who had just woken up from a long sleep were all staring at the floating screen of light. They were full of expectations. After all, His Majesty the Godly King had given them an order, which was to find someone who could reach the top of Wu Qi Tower. They'd been waiting for this for a long time.

"Huh?"

"This soldier…"

"He's riding Golden Claw God, and based on its speed, that soldier has never used the godly power-burning technique." All those three leaders kept observing Luo Feng on the screen. As for the other nine soldiers, the leaders glanced at them and ignored them.

They had seen many elite soldiers in all this time, and their attention only would be drawn when there were soldiers who were powerful enough. They kept watching.

Time passed, and the three leaders were silent.

"Brilliant body technique!" said one of the towering leaders in sanguine armor. "He has many ingenious techniques. He's only a law master, yet he created such techniques, and he's proficient. He's literally playing with the rock giant during the combat."

Little did he know that Luo Feng had fought many great beings in the space of inheritance for perfecting his body techniques, and he had even fought the three ancestral teachers many times. Under such pressure, it was easy for him to fight the stupid rock giant. Even eternal true gods in the World of Jin were qualified to engage in trial battles with beings like three ancestral teachers.

"Even I am moved," said the towering leader.

"You're an eternal true god!"

"You're an eternal true god! Even you are moved?" said one of the other three leaders.

When His Majesty the Godly King left, all four leaders were sealed true gods of void space. After a long period of time, one of them became an eternal true god. However, based on the order of His Majesty the Godly King, all four leaders had responsibilities, so they couldn't leave the World of Jin at all.

All four generals were eternal true gods, but they couldn't leave the World of Jin either. After His Majesty the Godly King left, some eternal true gods had been born, and they had left World of Jin one by one. However, none of them had come back.

******

All four leaders were amazed by Luo Feng's body technique. If the body technique had been performed by a true god of void space, they wouldn't have been amazed at all, but it was performed by a law master! The comprehension between law masters and true gods of void space were at completely different levels… They had never seen a law master who was able to do that!

"He has the best technique out of all the candidates we've seen since we started to guard Godly King Valley."

"He has an excellent body technique! And he's great at other techniques as well," said one of the other four leaders.

The towering leader said, "Perhaps it's likely that he'll be able to reach the top of Wu Qi Tower!"

The other three leaders immediately went quiet. They were all solemn, and the atmosphere was grave. They all stared at the screen. Accomplishing the dream of His Majesty the Godly King was more important to them than becoming eternal true gods—even more important than their own lives!

On the second floor of Wu Qi Tower, in those ten miniature universes on the dark red ground.

The first five soldiers all looked in despair as lots of their godly bodies were consumed. Although the second five soldiers also looked embarrassed, they had only been in the miniature worlds for a short period of time, so they looked much better. As for Luo Feng, he looked completely fine. After all, ever since being transported to the miniature worlds, his godly body hadn't been consumed at all. He hadn't even performed the first level of Duan Mie yet.

With Golden Claw God, his power was much stronger, so he was perfectly capable of fighting true gods easily.

"The first five soldiers lost much of their godly bodies. Though they're still alive, some of them will die in no time." Golden Claw God Luo Feng glanced around the nine miniature worlds in the distance. Only he was able to take a peek around at a crucial moment like this.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" All five of them suddenly started to scream in agony. All five dark red rock giants in the miniature universes at the front started to scream with madness!

The screaming of the rock giants was much different from the bellowing before. Not only did it sound odd, but it could also affect someone's soul! Even the soldiers in other miniature worlds were affected. Luo Feng and the other four soldiers from the same group couldn't help looking into the distance.

Following the mournful screaming, all five soldiers from the first group panicked as they sensed that dangers were coming.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Out of nowhere, a giant rock hand extended out of a crack beside the rock giant, and there were burning fluids surrounding it. There were four giant rock hands, and each was at least a million kilometers wide. Attached to those giant rock hands were thick arms. They showed up out of nowhere and the grasped for the elite soldiers.

"Ah!" One of the elite soldiers with a tattoo on his face tried to dodge it, but half of his godly body was grabbed by that giant rock hand.

The giant rock hand held the soldier tightly.

The ancient engraving picture kept diving, and lots of flowing light was poured from it, giving the soldiers much less time to dodge it.

Hou!

The dark red rock giant roared as it hit the soldier with its fist.

Peng!

That soldier who was hit was in anguish.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

He was being grasped and struck at the same time, which constantly consumed his godly body.

"Break! Break! Break!" The soldier kept fighting, and he even tried to use his godly hammer with his godly power, and he finally broke out of that giant rock hand right before the rock giant tried to hit him with its fist again. However, he had already lost a great deal of his godly power.

Hua!

Suddenly, another giant rock hand burst out of the crack. All of a sudden, all five soldiers were crumbling. It was a real life-or-death situation for them! And they were being crushed!

Under the combined attacks of the giant rock hands, the dark red rock giants, and the ancient engraving pictures, the soldiers didn't have enough time to react to the attacks; they were all on the verge of collapse.

The other four soldiers in Luo Feng's group all panicked.

"No!"

"We're in deep trouble!"

"Those five soldiers are suffering from the combined attacks, and soon, we'll be them."

Golden Claw God Luo Feng was contemplating. Apparently, four giant rock hands showed up at the same time, and they're around the dark red giant! Besides, the engraving picture is descending…

Luo Feng immediately realized that it was dangerous. Those four giant rock hands alone were not a threat. However, once the soldiers were captured, the rock giant would be able to ravage them however they wanted. Fortunately, there were only four giant rock hands.

What should I do? he wondered. Without any signs, the four giant rock hands showed up! Without any signs! What should I do about them?

Luo Feng was nervous. If the ancient engraving picture hadn't been declining, he would certainly have flown higher so that he could dodge those rock hands. Instead, the ancient engraving picture was declining, giving the soldiers less and less time to dodge the flowing light and making it difficult for them to fly into the sky.

"They must be kept at bay!" Luo Feng shook his head. "Some of the soldiers will die for sure!"

******

They were indeed in a hopeless situation! With the ancient engraving picture descending, it was more and more difficult for the five soldiers to survive.

Countless streaks of light kept striking below, and the engraving picture was dropping, hitting the soldiers over and over. The power contained in each streak of light could rival that of a true god.

"Huge hand! Rock giant! And an engraving picture!"

The space kept being narrowed, and it was difficult to dodge the rock hand. Soldiers in the first group were all burning their power and screaming, performing the best techniques they had to dodge those attacks. They would try anything just to stay alive longer.

"No! No! No!" A strange beast with twelve wings was suddenly seized by the rock hands. The dark red rock giant started to pound the strange beast with twelve wings. With a wail, the strange beast with twelve wings was annihilated, and all that was left were armors and valuables.

The dark red giant raised its head and roared, excited.

Hua!

The rock giant and the rock hands all turned into crimson fluid and slipped into the cracks in the ground. The armor of the dead strange beast soldiers also fell into the cracks.

The miniature world disappeared. Only nine miniature worlds were left on the second floor.

******

The other four soldiers from the former group were still struggling.

"It still hasn't ended?"

"It should've stopped now."

"I've lost most of my power. If it goes on, I won't be able to hold it."

The other four soldiers were all anxious. To law masters, losing a small part meant a tumble in power. Godly power would only be slowly consumed at the start of the battle, yet as the battle went on, godly bodies would be consumed at a much faster pace. The more godly bodies were consumed, the more godly power would be lost. It was a vicious circle!

Everyone was in a panic.

******

The soldiers from Luo Feng's group were all apprehensive as well.

"We have to save our godly power."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to survive the second floor."

Just as they were feeling apprehensive…

"Ao! Ao! Ao! Ao! Ao!" Five shrill voices drilled into the souls of those five soldiers.

The other four soldiers in Luo Feng's group were horrified.

"Why so soon?"

"We arrived much later than them."

They had been transported to the miniature worlds half an hour later than the former group, yet the ultimate nightmare arrived only ten minutes later.

Hong! Long!

Luo Feng surged and looked at the sky. That enormous ancient engraving picture kept falling down.

The dark red rock giant also rose, following Luo Feng. Its job was to kill him.

Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!

Each of the rocky palms was a million kilometers wide, and the arms were exceedingly long. They extended and tried to seize Luo Feng, but he flew into the sky in advance. With a buffer of time, he could easily dodge the giant rock hand.

******

In that ancient palace, the four sealed leaders from Godly King Valley, one eternal true god, and three true gods of void space were all staring at the screen, looking forward to seeing how Luo Feng performed on the second floor of Wu Qi Tower.
