Chapter 1426: Yang Realm Trembles

"What am I afraid of?" Chu Feng said, flipping his hand. He shattered Tai Wu's already fragmented soul light into a shower of light, which exploded on the spot.

If soul light is extinguished, everything ceases. Rebirth is out of the question, let alone reincarnation with memories; only eternal silence awaits for countless ages.

Boom!

Billions of miles away, the white-haired great expert's beautiful face was etched with coldness. The dao patterns on her brow glowed like a vertical eye, making the tile roar as she activated it. In an instant, a tide of light rain surged forth through the void, traversing billions of miles—a truly terrifying sight. In this dojo, the shattered tile reappeared, shooting directly towards Chu Feng.

"Erase all traces, don't think, don't dwell!" In the extreme north of the Yang Realm, the Martial Maniac's hair and beard bristled like a doomsday lion king awakening from slumber. He chanted true words, warning his disciple.

Billions of miles away, a "bang" erupted at the white-haired great expert's location as brilliant light rain exploded. Five-colored blood, faintly glowing, seeped from the corners of her mouth.

"Master!"

The female great expert felt regret and unwillingness, and a surge of anger and murderous intent towards Chu Feng. Yet, she dared not defy the Martial Maniac's will again, so she isolated the inch-long tile and ceased to use its power.

Chu Feng gripped the stone jar, everything prepared, but he noticed the energy transmitted by the white-haired great expert was decaying, turning into a mere anticlimax.

Crack!

Simultaneously, the most central fragment among Tai Wu's soul light pieces emitted a soft sound, rapidly accelerating its disintegration until it was continuously turning into dust.

"Master!""Celestial Venerable!"

All disciples and followers of the Tai Wu lineage cried out, terrified as they watched a Celestial Venerable on the verge of being annihilated, his soul scattering completely into oblivion.

"Grandmaster, please save Celestial Venerable!" Some shouted, imploring the female great expert, billions of miles away across the void, to intervene and save Tai Wu's last wisp of soul light.

However, the white-haired great expert was powerless; without using the broken tile to establish a connection, how could she possibly act from billions of miles away? At this moment, she immediately set off, ending her seclusion, tearing through the void as she rushed towards them.

Unfortunately, the distance was too vast—billions of miles away. She would need multiple transfers along the way, as this part of the Yang Realm was too mysterious and strange for anyone to traverse in a single attempt. All powerful individuals knew better than to force it; directly traversing the Yang Realm in one go would inevitably trigger ominous events, leading to a great disaster and death. From ancient times to the present, few could avoid it.

Legend has it that the Yang Realm is connected to many mysterious places: the most ancient and unpredictable prehistoric underworlds, the Soul River, and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit. Forcefully traversing the entire Yang Realm might attract energy erosion from these strange places, or even trigger the revival of unpredictable beings, filling the air with murderous intent.

"Heh heh..." Chu Feng sneered. To the female great expert, this sounded like mockery and ridicule, a blatant provocation against her—utterly arrogant.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, from Tai Wu's shattered soul light, a brilliant and sacred morning glow burst forth, like the rising sun, full of vitality. Auspicious light flourished, and myriad rays of light surged. Then, a purple talisman paper flew out, attempting to escape!

"Eh?" Chu Feng was startled but reacted swiftly, grabbing it instantly. He held it firmly in his hand; no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape.

"A talisman paper that can take one's true spirit to reincarnation!" He first encountered such an item on the path of reincarnation; back then, certain souls carried these talismans, enabling them to reincarnate with their memories! Tai Wu also possessed one, hidden deep within the core of his soul light. Now, it carried a trace of his true spirit, attempting to escape and rush towards the path of reincarnation.

"Too bad you met me," Chu Feng said with an indifferent expression. He forcefully wiped the purple talisman paper, and a shrill scream erupted from it.

"No!"

A wisp of spiritual light emerged, revealing Tai Wu's pale face. This was his ultimate fallback: even if killed, he would still have a chance to reincarnate. And with his memories intact, he would reappear in the Yang Realm in just a few years! But now all was in vain, simply because he had encountered Chu Feng.

"Leave me a trace of my true spirit, without past life memories; let me bid farewell to this life. From now on, I will no longer be a cultivator and will never seek revenge on you!" Over ninety percent of Tai Wu's true spirit had vanished, and he cried out weakly. He truly did not want to become complete nothingness; even if only a tiny trace of true spirit particles without memories remained, he might return after thousands of generations. If it was eternal silence now, there would be absolutely no hope.

Pfft!

This wisp of true spirit was wiped by Chu Feng's hand and swiftly annihilated! Tai Wu was now utterly consigned to eternal silence from the Yang Realm. Even if a terrifying existence as powerful as the Martial Maniac were to gather his soul and personally guide him, he could never reappear.

"In fact, dying like this might not be a misfortune. If you were alive, you would live a life worse than death!" Chu Feng said coldly.

With a "bang," Tai Wu's true spirit was burned to nothingness, leaving absolutely nothing behind. He was permanently erased from the Yang Realm, and his dao fruit no longer existed in the world.

Originally, Chu Feng had intended to preserve Tai Wu's true spirit, place it in a soul lamp, and subject it to constant, severe torture to extract the secrets of the Martial Maniac lineage. However, he reconsidered. This lineage's inheritance was astonishing, and many powerful individuals from their sect were still alive in the world. Heaven knew if the female great expert would find him because of this, not to mention an even more terrifying Martial Maniac! So, Chu Feng decisively changed his mind and directly annihilated Tai Wu.

He held the talisman paper, scrutinizing it repeatedly. Finally, he swung the stone jar violently, smashing it down with a bang and causing the item to explode. If one disregarded the karma behind the talisman paper, it was a valuable item, capable of allowing people to reincarnate with memories—a priceless treasure even in the Yang Realm! However, Chu Feng was wary of it, concerned about special auras potentially left behind by the Martial Maniac lineage.

"I have no use for it now," Chu Feng mused. "Besides, the waters behind this talisman paper are far too deep; there must be great karma involved!" He frowned, unable to discern the true nature of this mysterious power, which he found terrifying.

In the distance, others watched with throbbing hearts, feeling as though their souls were bleeding, thinking it was an immense pity. That was a priceless decree capable of unhindered passage through the path of reincarnation! And it was just destroyed like that...

"Heh..."

In the void, a chilling, extremely strange and eerie sneer echoed. The exploded talisman paper reassembled itself, reappearing. However, it did not linger. Silently, it pierced into the void and vanished.

"This thing... it truly holds great secrets and great karma. I wonder how it ever came into the world!" Chu Feng's heart pounded. These items emerged from certain special forbidden areas, but who created them? Moreover, a significant number of forbidden areas were clearly unrelated to this talisman paper. Originating from forbidden areas was just the appearance! Chu Feng realized he had encountered such items multiple times himself and might become further entangled with them after evolving to a sufficiently high level in the future!

All this transpired in a brief instant: Celestial Venerable Tai Wu perished, and his dao fruit was erased from the Yang Realm!

Not far away, the gray-haired Celestial Venerable's hair stood on end, seeing Chu Feng turn to stare at him. The golden-haired Celestial Venerable also felt a chill run through his body, a coldness from his very soul, sensing the young powerhouse's murderous intent. However, Chu Feng did not act against them. For him, killing Tai Wu was effortless, but any further delay would likely trigger unforeseen complications.

Rumble!

The ground split open, and the medicinal fields of this dojo were uprooted, vanishing into a colossal, sky-obscuring hand as Chu Feng collected them.

Crack!

The mountain range collapsed, utterly destroyed, revealing a hidden patch of earth beneath. All the strange, crystalline soil where Tai Wu cultivated red lotuses was extracted, vanishing into Chu Feng's voluminous sleeves. He used great divine abilities to instantly plunder the most valuable exotic soil and powerful medicines from the area. Afterward, he tried to seize the martial armory containing scriptures, but it instantly exploded!

The disciples and grand-disciples of the Tai Wu lineage had red eyes, but what could they do? They were utterly powerless to stop him; all their God Kings had been effortlessly killed by Chu Feng with a single flip of his hand earlier. Who would dare obstruct him now?

In an instant, heaven and earth inverted, and all the celestial bodies shone forth. Chu Feng stepped into a spatial channel and vanished immediately. He decisively retreated, knowing he couldn't stay long as the white-haired great expert was already on her way.

In a flash, he arrived in another state, but he didn't stop. He destroyed all traces in the void and set off again, establishing a one-way teleportation array. He vanished from the spot once more; before leaving, all the array patterns were incinerated, quickly burning away completely. Chu Feng moved continuously from one state to another, successively traversing and changing at least a hundred states before finally finding a secluded place to hide. He held the stone jar in his hand, using it to obscure heavenly secrets and prevent others from divining his whereabouts. Even when he was weak, he could use this stone jar to evade Celestial Venerables. Now, as a Constant King capable of killing Celestial Venerables, he naturally had even greater confidence, believing he could use the stone jar to block the divinations of even supreme powerhouses!

After Chu Feng left, the first to arrive was not the white-haired great expert, but rather a decree that tore through space, emitting immortal brilliance! That was a decree imbued with a trace of the Martial Maniac's murderous intent. Unfortunately, the culprit had already fled far away! Even a being as powerful as the Martial Maniac could not ignore the laws of the Yang Realm. After receiving the news, he dared not traverse the realm directly; the decree only arrived after several transfers. The Martial Maniac was currently at a critical stage of transformation, unable to dispatch his true body. His true spirit and dharma body dared not disregard the legends of the Yang Realm, as attracting the attention of places like the end of the Soul River or the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit would be disastrous.

On this day, Tai Wu's death shook the world, and Chu Feng's name finally reappeared in the Yang Realm after many years!

"A worldwide bounty, let's kill this fiend together!" On this day, the white-haired great expert was enraged, demanding Chu Feng's collective execution!

The Yang Realm trembled violently. The Martial Maniac's faction issuing such a bounty would undoubtedly trigger an unimaginable, world-shaking storm!

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?!" Chu Feng sneered.
