Chapter 1899 - 1868: Jin Luo’s Goal
Recently, Jin Luo Immortal Venerate has indeed been cultivating frantically.
However, it’s not entirely because of Li Chen, this monster genius, but more because of the news from Giant Soul Dao Venerate.
"The frontline is tightening; this year, we might have to rotate and deploy to the battlefield."
Battlefield.
It is an immensely large meat grinder.
Since Jin Luo Immortal Venerate arrived at the Starry Sky Immortal City, he has participated in more than a dozen wars of various sizes.
Back then, of the same batch that joined the Roaring Void Legion, there are now less than one-tenth left.
Yet he, from being a small Great Yi True Immortal, has cultivated to the realm of an Immortal Venerate now.
The most fortunate thing is, he is still alive.
This is also what Jin Luo Immortal Venerate is most proud of.
Surviving ten-plus wars in such a meat grinder is indeed something to be proud of.
Jin Luo Immortal Venerate has personally seen countless senior generations, junior generations, old ones, and newcomers perish on the battlefield; every deceased leaves a deep impression on him.
He knows that although he is an Immortal Venerate, a Soul Realm expert, on such a vast battlefield, even a Daoist Lord might be powerless, let alone a small Immortal Venerate like him.
He can’t do much, but what he wants most is to protect as many brothers around him as possible on the battlefield... survive.
This is the only thing he can do.
A Soul Realm expert is a terrifying existence that can destroy the heavens and the earth, erase surface civilizations of planets easily, and even destroy entire planets when placed amidst the Starry Sky, any mortal world.
But what is the Four Realms battlefield?
One having power above all is called destroying heaven and earth.
But if everyone possesses such power, he is but a drop in the vast sea.
"Fortunately, this time, three powerful newcomers have arrived. I hope they can provide some help to everyone." Jin Luo slowly rose and walked out from the closed-door cultivation location.
The entire Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp gathered.
The Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp has a total of two hundred people, plus Li Chen and the others, totaling two hundred and four people.
However, there are only two Immortal Venerates.
One is Jin Luo himself, along with Bai Tianyi, newly advanced to the Soul Realm.
Upon learning of Bai Tianyi’s promotion to the Soul Realm, Jin Luo even held a celebration and got drunk.
He understands that on the Four Realms battlefield, Domain Realm individuals are mere cannon fodder and the most numerous.
Only Soul Realm experts can somewhat protect themselves; having Bai Tianyi as a Soul Realm expert may significantly reduce the casualties among his brothers, which is the greatest joy for Jin Luo.
Meanwhile, Li Chen is another combat power he relies heavily on.
Through several sparring sessions with Li Chen, he gradually realized Li Chen is still only an Immortal King, yet possesses strength not inferior to Immortal Venerates.
If used well, he might play a much greater role.
At this increasingly approaching moment of deployment, it serves as a heart-strengthening injection for Jin Luo.
"This time gathering everyone here, there are things I need to say to you all." Jin Luo said seriously to the people of Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp: "Although I’d like to call it good news, regrettably, what I’m about to inform you is not good news."
"The deployment order has been issued; in a month, our Roaring Void Legion will depart for the real battlefield."
Upon hearing Jin Luo Immortal Venerate’s words, the crowd below immediately became somewhat chaotic.
"Quiet."
Jin Luo Immortal Venerate spoke deeply: "Among you, there are both old and new members. I understand newcomers might have some unique thoughts or even excitement... I was the same back then."
"However, I hope everyone will calm down before getting hot-headed and ask the veterans in the camp what the battlefield is truly like."
"I won’t say more unnecessary words; for this month, prepare yourselves, do what you must, rest well, and adjust to your best state. I hope... as many go as return."
Jin Luo spoke deeply: "Li Chen, Pang Gai, Hai Ming, Bai Tianyi, Yang Xin, stay. Others, disperse!"
With Jin Luo’s command, the people of Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp dispersed accordingly.
However, the ones named by Jin Luo remained.
"Come in and have a seat."
Looking at the few, Jin Luo nodded and then walked toward a nearby building.
Li Chen and the others nodded silently; in their hearts, they vaguely guessed what Jin Luo wanted to discuss.
Those named are the strongest among Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp.
Besides Li Chen and the others, both Pang Gai and Hai Ming possess the Peak of Immortal King cultivation.
"This time, calling you over, you might have guessed some things." Jin Luo, without wasting words, directly spoke.
"Here both Old Pang and Brother Hai are veterans of Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp, while you, Li Chen, are new, so I still need to explain." Jin Luo said.
"The Four Realms battlefield is extremely complex." Jin Luo knocked on the table and said: "In the midst of Starry Sky’s military clash, it doesn’t require much thought, but once the battlefield shifts to the Ancient Battle Realm Continent, things get complex."
"Ancient Battle Realm Continent?" Li Chen asked curiously.
"Yes." Jin Luo nodded: "At least we call it that, others might use different names, but it basically means the same, that place is the true confrontation ground of the Four Great Realms."
"It’s the ancient continent used as a battlefield for the Four Realms." Jin Luo said: "Rumored to have once been a Great Realm, but was destroyed and became the battlefield for the Four Great Realms. Legends speak of the ancient battle fought there."
"Ancient Battle Realm Continent is extremely dangerous, not only with ancient creatures but numerous deadly hazards. In such a place, a single mistake can lead to an entire legion being wiped out." Jin Luo said grimly: "So upon descending into the Ancient Battle Realm, all legions must disperse; even our Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp of hundreds must separate because a large target is easily preyed on by dangers."
"And this is the reason I called you here this time."
Jin Luo spoke solemnly: "Last time, I also commanded Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp, but then only Old Pang and Brother Hai were present, so I split Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp into three teams. Yet, in the end, we were still targeted by something! After the last battle, only half of Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp returned!"
At this point, Jin Luo’s jaw tightened, his teeth clenching hard.
"This time, with you three, Li Chen, I intend, upon descending into the Ancient Battle Realm, to split Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp into six teams! We each lead one! This way, the survival chance is higher!"
Back then, Jin Luo yearned for great battle merits, substantial rewards.
But over these years, Jin Luo has lost such ambition.
All he desires is one thing: everyone... can survive!
