Chapter 590: Burning Legion

Fang Yun also observed the Izumo Empire’s troops through the spiritual imprint left in Luo Feng. Although it was only a spiritual imprint, it also possessed a certain perception ability.

Under his perception, the most powerful cultivator in this vanguard force should be the middle-aged general in front of the army. If there is no perception error, that man’s strength should be about late cosmic.

It”s normal for a vanguard force to have a cultivator of this level as the commander. After all, whether it is the Gama Empire or the Izumo Empire, they have few domain masters. At most 100.

In fact, it’s very shocking to send 7 domain masters at the same time on an expedition. This showed the Gama Empire’s determination to capture the Metaverse and its resources, almost launching an all-out war.

As a result, they misestimated the strength of Metaverse, causing great casualties.

Seven domain masters, almost a tenth of their top forces, fell in the Metaverse, greatly shrinking their power.

Fang Yun noticed that Luo Feng’s mental state gradually cooled down. He also noticed that the combat power of the enemy’s vanguard force isn’t too high.

Even if there was a conflict between the two sides, nothing would happen to him.

Upon thinking like this, Luo Feng glanced at his captain. The latter beckoned to him, then flew out in one direction, Luo Feng followed behind.

As Luo Feng and his company continued to advance, the other companies were also advancing quickly. They each had their own task, mainly to outflank or clash head-on with the enemy forces.

The battle started soon and ended sooner. There wasn’t any suspense. Luo Feng and the others easily dealt with the vanguard force.

He alone beheaded ten cosmic-level masters and made a big contribution.

Before coming here, Nebula told Luo Feng not to have any scruples and try his best to go all out. This will not only cause him to quickly rise in the ranks but also greatly temper himself in battle and achieve an even higher level.

Of course, this will put him at great risk. After all, too much limelight will definitely attract others’ attention. In addition, as far as the hostile forces are concerned, they will certainly send troops to assassinate him.

However, Luo Feng chose to challenge himself and seek advantages for himself and his hometown despite the risk.

Not only did Luo Feng perform brilliantly in this battle, but other people who came out of the metaverse also performed well.

Nevertheless, 13 of them had various degrees of injury, but fortunately, none of them were killed.

They have defeated the vanguard force of the Izumo Empire, but none of the Burning legion soldiers celebrated. In fact, the atmosphere was tenser than ever.

They all knew that the vanguard force is just a suicide squad sent to test their power and exhaust them. The main enemy forces are much more powerful.

If they can’t handle it, the Burning legion might fall here.

“Luo Feng, are you all right?”

Wang Meng, the captain of Luo Feng’s company, walked next to him and asked with a deep voice. All the while looking at the dark space with a deep expression.

“I’m okay.”

Luo Feng gently nodded, then smiled;

“Brother Meng, how are you? Can you recover in such a short period?”

He wondered whether this captain of his could recover before the next wave of attacks.

“Probably, but I don’t know when the enemy will launch the next wave of attacks.”

Wang Meng sighed, looking a bit sad.

Luo Feng glanced at his captain’s chest. There was a wound there. This is the wound he suffered while fighting against the enemy cosmic masters. It’s not a serious injury and it can’t threaten his life, but fighting with it will considerably hinder him, weakening his combat power.

Luo Feng didn’t say much. In fact, he isn’t very familiar with the cultivators in his company, so naturally, he can’t produce a feeling of sympathy.

He knows exactly his identity and his position.

Wang Meng didn’t speak anymore. Now, he needs time to rest and recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

Time quickly flew and one day has passed.

The atmosphere in the Burning Legion did not change the slightest, on the contrary, it became more solemn. If the opponent decides to launch a follow-up attack, then it’s likely to be within the next two days.

“Hahh..”

In a dark space, Luo Feng was meditating, absorbing the spiritual power flowing across the universe. This spiritual power is an omnipresent energy invisible to the naked eye and most detection equipment.

As he continuously absorbed it, his cultivation base continued to slowly increase.

“I wonder if the large forces of the Izumo Empire will attack this base?”

Luo Feng glanced at the distant space, and a trace of worry emerged in his heart. He could already imagine the large troops heading towards this place, preparing to launch the decisive battle.

This is not to say that he is afraid of the large forces of the Izumo Empire, on the contrary, he is excited to fight against them.

His main concern is his companions. During such a large-scale and dangerous battle, he can’t even guarantee his safety, let alone his weaker companions. Many of them are likely to fall here.

​​Luo Feng had a similar experience in the past. At that time, there were more than two thousand of them, but in the end, only about 300 survived.

Many of his companions and friends who accompanied him through countless grueling training and dangerous situations disappeared for several years.

Unfortunately, the things that he feared still happened.

His watch suddenly vibrated, after which an emergency message sounded.

“emergency assembly!!”

“A large force is coming!”

After receiving the message, Luo Feng didn’t hesitate and headed straight towards the company’s gathering location.

At the same time, he was worried about his companions internally. They’re about to engage in a big war next. Everything is possible.

“Luo Feng, the large troops of the Izumo Empire are here.”

When he came to the company, Luo Feng’s captain said with a worried expression on his face.

In a battle like this, commanders and captains of high cultivation levels must be at the forefront of the battlefield. If they don’t do so, many problems might arise.

None of the cultivators in their company are willing to be used as cannon fodder, hence if he doesn’t take the lead, problems might arise.

After all, the legion is filled with cultivators from all around the Gama Empire, it’s not a disciplined army.

With the retreat of the soldiers in his company, other companies might be affected. In this way, due to the domino effect, it’s likely to affect the entire legion.

A company captain like him can’t afford the results, so even if it is life-threatening, he must go forward without the slightest hesitation.

Just when Luo Feng was deep in his thoughts, a black shadow suddenly flew from the distance. This black shadow looked like the accumulation of countless smaller beings, just like a swarm of locusts.

“This…”

Luo Feng was shocked upon seeing this scene. It was the first time he had seen so many cultivators that move freely across space, that is planet-level.

“All companies follow orders and attack freely.”

A majestic voice sounded from their wristwatches. In an instant, Luo Feng recovered and focused on the enemy fleet and cultivators army.

Both he and Wang Meng looked at each other, then led their company and headed towards the enemy forward. In just a minute, the two armies collide heavily.

The war has begun.

This battle was much more tragic than the previous battles. Luo Feng was also aware of this situation, so he didn’t act as recklessly as before, but conserved his energy and strength for any possible situation.

Luo Feng felt that he was being targeted. During the course of the battle, he faced at least 5 cosmic level powerhouses, making him very uncomfortable.

Especially at this instance when he isn’t intending to use all of his strength. While dealing with 5 opponents of the same level, he has to be cautious, for fear of making a mistake.

Throughout such an intense and confusing war, even if he is more powerful than the average cosmic level cultivator, he can fall at any time.

This intense battle lasted a long time, five days.

After experiencing such a high-intensity battle for five days, even a cosmic level cultivator might die at any time.

Luo Feng received a lot of “care”. After he consumed the five cosmic level masters to death, ten more cosmic level masters came to deal with him, almost making him collapse.

At that time, he knew it. The other party definitely knew about his existence and record. The previous vanguard force might have been a suicide squad, but it’s not useless.

Its main purpose is to gather information about all the powerful or outstanding cultivators in the Burning legion.

Due to their outstanding combat power, Luo Feng’s companions were paid attention to. In addition, the other geniuses in the legion were also given priority.

However, this life threat also stimulated Luo Feng’s potential, allowing him to kill the first 5 cosmic level powerhouses despite retaining a part of his strength.

After fighting with the ten cosmic level masters for almost a day, he killed seven and injured 3 before escaping.

There is no other way, Luo Feng knows that he cannot continue to stay in place, otherwise, he will eventually get consumed by the enemy. Even if he kills all these 10 cultivators, more powerhouses of the same level or even beyond might emerge, causing him to lose his life.

So even though he still retained ample energy, he quickly fled and headed towards a more densely populated place on the battlefield.

As long as a cosmic-level master approached him, he would immediately dodge and escape. It didn’t matter to him whether the Izumo or Gama Empire’s cultivators were killed due to the aftermath, anyway, both are enemies.

It was his actions like this that allowed him to survive this battle. Otherwise, with his current strength and with special attention from the enemy, there’s no way he could have survived.

As he fled around the battlefield while fighting, Luo Feng also discovered that his companions from the Metaverse weren’t unscathed. More than half of them were injured. In addition, eleven people died.

The fact that more than one-tenth of his companions died during this battle caused Luo Feng to be very uncomfortable. He had a bad premonition.

It’s unknown how many of these comrades would survive in the end.

“Hah…”

Luo Feng sighed internally. After this battle, the entire Burning Legion suffered a relatively large loss.

Even his captain, Wang Meng, died in this battle.

More importantly, this is just the first confrontation. Next, if nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be several similar wars.

After every war, he would definitely continue to experience the pain of the death of his companions.

“I wonder whether this burning legion can block the advance of the Izumo Empire’s army in the end.”

Luo Feng shook his head, then sat on the ground of the base and used energy stones to quickly restore his spiritual power.

Who knows when the second war will begin, so the most important thing they need to do now is to quickly restore their spiritual power and deal with their injuries, allowing them to immediately enter the battle state once the enemy attacks.

About five days later, the fleet of the Izumo Empire launched the second war. As expected, Luo Feng was targeted again.

Fortunately, Luo Feng now has a wealth of experience in dealing with this situation, so the enemy didn’t cause much trouble to him.

This time, Luo Feng’s situation was a little easier than last time.

In the following period, the Izumo Empire launched a total of seven attacks on the burning legion. Most of the Burning Legion’s forces were consumed, and the same was true for the Izumo Empire’s army.

Finally, the war ended with the withdrawal of the Izumo Empire’s fleet.

After this battle, the Burning Legion’s status in the Gama Empire is probably going to be reduced.

After all, most of their high-level combat power has been severely damaged. Of course, the Izumo Empire’s fleet also had a severe loss, even more grave than that of the Izumo Empire.

After all, they have attacked a fortified base, filled with formations and war structures. To deal with this problem, they dispatched 2 to 3 times the number of high-level combat power.

Under such an offensive, even with the hope advantage, the burning legion has lost a large amount of high-level combat power.

Even the elites of the metaverse had a severe loss. Almost a half of them died.

However, the group of people who survived can be regarded as the most powerful elites in the metaverse. After experiencing such a life and death crisis, they will be able to reach an even higher level in the future.

Furthermore, due to their great contribution, they will likely receive a reward from the Gama Empire, allowing their cultivation to reach the next level.
