Devouring Star: Thunder Lord

Chapter 384 Brutal Selection: Joining the Python River Army

"here it is?"

As soon as Yang Yu entered, he looked around, and soon the other warriors and beasts who had entered also looked around.

You can vaguely see a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers around you, beyond which there is only darkness.

This is a desolate and barren desert.

"The control over time and space is indeed quite impressive."

Yang Yu secretly praised him, while leaning close to Luo Feng, Bei Feng, and Tie Mu, with many other warriors from the Gan Ye tribe also around them.

Just as everyone was looking around, an invisible pressure suddenly descended, enveloping the entire desert.

All the warriors and beasts looked up.

A one-horned man clad in black armor looked down with cold, golden eyes. Suddenly, those golden eyes emitted a beam of light simultaneously!
"boom!"

"boom!"

Two golden beams of light descended upon the desert in an instant, then curved and casually circled among the 3000 warriors and beasts, each beam encircling 1500 warriors and beasts.

Immediately afterwards, the group of warriors and beasts encircled on the left were covered with a hazy red light, while the group of warriors and beasts encircled on the right were covered with a yellow light.

An invisible pressure enveloped them.

Everyone present was terrified.

However, the pressure was not strong, but the natural superiority and the trembling of its own divine power made every warrior understand that the being in the sky was not a true god, but a void true god of a higher level!
Yang Yu looked up and quietly sensed the power of the Void God.

Although Yang Yu can now unleash a top-tier attack power of the fifteenth rank when he goes all out, most Void Gods cannot reach this level.

However, such a powerful being is one who can absolutely surpass the power of reincarnation in the Cosmic Sea.

It is a powerful life form completely different from the Lord of the Universe and the true God.

This was also the first time Yang Yu had come into such close contact with a Void God-level powerhouse.

Naturally, we should observe it carefully.

"You wait, split into two camps," the one-horned man shouted, looking down at the crowd.

"Kill each other with all your might. When I order you to stop, those who survive will join the army. If you have the strength, feel free to unleash it. If any of you are exceptionally talented, you may be able to join a special legion!"

"Begin!" the one-horned man shouted, and then he was enveloped in black light and disappeared into the darkness.

The warriors and beasts of the two factions on this desolate desert were shrouded in red and yellow light respectively, and at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent.

"Damn it!" said Beifeng, Tiemu, and other tribal warriors, gritting their teeth.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng calmly looked at the opposite side.

Although the warriors from the Ganye tribe who came this time were all grouped together, nearly a hundred warriors were still trapped in the opposite camp.

"kill!"

"Roar!"

Upon receiving the order, the warriors and beasts of both factions roared instantly, transforming into streaks of light and lightning.

The warriors of the Ganye tribe naturally had a tacit understanding; they would not fight their own tribe's warriors, but instead choose warriors from other tribes or strange beasts, each of them trying their best to kill the other.

Yang Yu, on the other hand, used his movement techniques to easily traverse the battlefield, occasionally unleashing a blade of light with the Thunder Meteor Blade to easily kill any beasts that dared to attack.

Luo Feng was the same; his agile movements combined with his powerful swordsmanship allowed him to easily deal with the attacks.

Even Yang Yu and Luo Feng were able to spare some energy to help Bei Feng, Tie Mu, and other warriors from the Gan Ye tribe.

In an instant, limbs flew everywhere on the battlefield, a scene of unparalleled bloodshed.

But as long as they are not completely dead, these limbs, which are formed from energy, will instantly reunite with the main body and begin to fight again.

"kill!"

As the battle intensified to a fever pitch.

Yang Yu swung the Thunder Meteor Blade faster and faster, and also slightly activated the Thunder Shadow Movement Technique.

Yang Yu transformed into lightning, easily traversing the battlefield and reaping the lives of countless alien beasts.

Even the one-horned Void God in charge of the review showed a satisfied expression upon seeing this.

Clearly, Yang Yu's combat strength at this moment is extremely outstanding for a universe master.

After a long time.

When the combined number of survivors on both sides was only about 900.

This aloof Void God reached out and pressed down.

"stop!"

A powerful pressure descended instantly.

If the previous oppressive aura, though lofty and imposing, was merely a gentle breeze, then this oppressive aura felt like an endless mountain pressing down upon us.

Boom!

All the warriors of the universe who were fighting were forced to the ground by the pressure. Yang Yu and Luo Feng also lay down, completely powerless to resist.

"Is this the power of the Void God?" The surviving powerhouses below were shocked.

Yang Yu sensed it for a moment, and although he might be able to break free from this 'One Thought Void' domain by unleashing his full power.

However, at this time, in the Eastern Army's main camp, there were a large number of Void Gods, and even generals at the level of Eternal Gods, so it was impossible to expose them.

At this moment, the One-Horned Void God descended from the sky and looked down.

"You, and you too!" He pointed at Yang Yu and Luo Feng, "You two are qualified to join the Manghe Army!"

"Wow!"

Upon hearing this, both the warriors from the Ganye tribe and the strange beasts all turned to look at Yang Yu and his companion.

Congratulations, Thunder!

Congratulations, Galaxy!

Temu and the Northern warriors all offered their congratulations.

No one was surprised that Yang Yu and Luo Feng joined the Manghe Army.

After all, they were the two who performed the best on the entire battlefield just now.

It completely set it apart from the other soldiers.

Whether it's movement techniques or swordsmanship, they far surpass those of these fourth or fifth-tier universe lords.

"Haha, I survived."

"They've entered the Eastern Army."

"Those two terrifying guys with knives, luckily they weren't in the mood for indiscriminate killing, otherwise we would have been in real trouble this time."

The surviving warriors and beastmen from the other tribes were all incredibly excited, and at the same time, they were relieved. Only a few people were grieving for the loss of their companions.

"Hurry up!"

"hurry up."

In this desolate desert, a massive archway appeared out of nowhere, from which three True God soldiers emerged, shouting orders. The surviving warriors and beasts obediently followed, for the next round of selection was imminent.

"You two." One of the True God soldiers, dressed in dark red armor and with a huge tail, looked at Yang Yu and Luo Feng with a single red eye on his head. "You two come with me, I'll take you to the Python River Army."

"Yes," Yang Yu and Luo Feng replied.

The two followed this true god and walked outwards along the archway.

"Thunder, Milky Way, good luck!" shouted the warriors of the Gan Ye tribe, including Tie Mu and Bei Feng.

"Good luck!" Yang Yu and the other person smiled and turned around to shout.

And so they parted ways.

Within the army, things are not up to their own will. It is clear that Tiemu and Beifeng's strength is still far from meeting the requirements of the 'Python River Army'. Although they are considered elites, they are not true geniuses, so they will not be recruited from the beginning. Only if they perform well in the future will they have the possibility of being recruited into a special legion.

But by then, it would probably not be the Python River Army, but some other special legion.

After all, there are many special legions in the Eastern Army.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng were lucky this time, as they joined the Manghe Army.

that's it.

Yang Yu and his companion followed behind the True God soldiers, flying through the vast military camp.

"This space is completely sealed off. I can't teleport, nor can I use powerful domain techniques." Yang Yu sensed the surrounding space as he flew, while remaining vigilant about his surroundings.

"Xiaofeng, out of the 3000 warriors and beasts tested this time, only you and I entered the special legion. It seems that the special legion's test is quite strict, and the tasks ahead will probably not be easy either."

Yang Yu transmitted his voice.

"Yes, Brother Yu, I felt it too. It seems that everything in this Jin world revolves around the army. The selection and training are extremely difficult, and those who survive are not ordinary people. We need to be even more vigilant from now on."

Luo Feng said, while also looking curiously at the surrounding military camps.

The Eastern Army camp covered an extremely vast area, and everywhere you looked were legions wearing various types of standard armor, although these legions were mostly ordinary legions.

At a glance, the number of soldiers of the Lord of the Universe is in the hundreds of millions.

True God soldiers can also be seen everywhere.

Only the true gods of the void cannot see them, presumably because they are in their respective palaces or residences.

After flying for most of the day, Yang Yu and Luo Feng followed the True God soldier, sometimes traversing wormholes, sometimes teleporting, and it took them most of the day to finally arrive at an incredibly tall hall.

The main hall was filled with the shadows of people and animals.

"You two wait here," the One-Eyed God shouted, then entered the hall alone.

A moment later, the True God soldier came out and gave Yang Yu and Luo Feng each a True God-level standard battle armor, the 'Python River Armor'. "Remember, you must wear this armor at all times in the military camp to make it easier to distinguish your identity."

The soldier then led Yang Yu and his companion to the Manghe Army's camp.

On the road.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng recognized the Python River Armor as their master.

Instantly, their armor transformed into a dark red color with a strange 'python' design, exuding an ancient, desolate aura.

"This armor is alright; it's enough to support a True God-level battle." Yang Yu sensed it and found it to be similar to the Supreme Treasure Armor he had used before.

"It's really good. I didn't expect to get such good armor so soon after joining. It seems that this special legion is indeed different from the ordinary legion." Luo Feng was also very happy. This Python River Armor was much better than the peak treasure armor he used before.

Neither he nor Yang Yu brought their most important treasures with them when they entered the Jin world this time. This Python River Armor made up for their defensive shortcomings.

It took the three of them three whole days to reach the Manghe Army's camp.

Viewed from a high altitude.

Below is a vast lake.

The lake is dotted with islands, numbering in the tens of millions, and the entire lake is more than a light-year in diameter. At a glance, one can also see dark red silhouettes.

"They look like soldiers from the Manghe Army," Yang Yu thought to himself.

These soldiers were all dressed in dark red armor, and their helmets were decorated with strange python designs.

"These are the new recruits from your Python River Army." The One-Eyed True God shouted, his voice booming and reaching directly into the endless lake. "They will be assigned to the Fifth Squad of the First Battalion."

After shouting, the one-eyed True God soldier glanced at Yang Yu and Luo Feng, "I hope to see you again next time." Then he transformed into a stream of light and quickly left.

Immediately afterwards, figures flickered in the distance, clearly teleporting.

Within the Eastern Army. While teleportation is impossible in most parts of the outside world, it is possible within a certain range of the lake camp belonging to the Python River Army.

More than twenty figures teleported over in quick succession, then flew and hovered beside Yang Yu and Luo Feng.

These twenty-odd figures included humanoid creatures and strange beasts.

At this moment, he was sizing up Yang Yu and the other person.

The man standing at the very front, lean and with a cold gaze, looked at Yang Yu and the other man and said:
“My name is ‘Black Rock’, and I am the captain of the fifth squad. You two, state your names and your respective strengths.”

"I, Thunder, am alright in speed and physical attacks," Yang Yu said.

"I, Yinhe, am better at close-range dodging," Luo Feng said.

"Hmm." The lean man, Hei Yan, nodded upon hearing this. "You two should hurry up and receive the basic inheritance of the Python River Army, and try to master the secret technique of burning divine power as soon as possible. This will increase your chances of survival in the upcoming missions."

"And this contains all the military regulations and common sense contained within the army. You can decide what to do next yourselves. Don't disturb your teammates' training unless there are special circumstances." Hei Yan said, then tossed out two crystal balls.

The crystal ball was only the size of a fist. Yang Yu and Luo Feng took it, probed into it with their consciousness, and quickly received all the information.

Although the information inside the crystal ball was complex, it wasn't much. It introduced military rules and common sense, which Yang Yu and Luo Feng grasped instantly.

They also knew that the lake below was indeed the camp of the Python River Army.

The Manghe Army was divided into three battalions.

The three detachments each occupied one of the three major areas of the lake.

The first brigade consists of nine squads, each with its own area. Within this area, each squad can choose any unclaimed island as its training ground.

"If you can survive the routine mission six thousand years from now, then you'll be qualified to truly join our team. If you don't survive..."

In the end, Captain Kuroiwa didn't say much, but led his team members away from there.

Watching the departing crowd, Yang Yu and Luo Feng showed no emotional fluctuations. As for whether they would officially join the Fifth Squad later, that was not important.

This destined them both to be mere passersby in the world of Jin.

"Alright, let's choose an island first. There are still six thousand years until the next mission, so we can use this time to cultivate properly."

Yang Yu smiled.

"it is good."

The two then transformed into streaks of light and arrived directly on a nearby uninhabited island below.

After selecting an island and refining it to their own, Yang Yu and Luo Feng first familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment before arriving at the island located in the center of the lake.

I plan to receive the basic inheritance here first.

After all, if someone uses the secret technique of burning divine power without receiving any inheritance, they will be subject to 'military law' if discovered.

Even though Yang Yu's current strength is not weak and is enough to rival a Void God head-on, he still needs to keep a low profile when facing the Jin World, which contains an Eternal God.
