Chapter 1429: Stone Jar Reveals a Shocking World

A beam of light pierced eternity, cut through the river of time, penetrated the past, present, and future, and traversed all dimensions. As this light descended, with a thunderous crash, a world burst open like a blossoming flower, then burned away, and finally returned to eternal silence!

The entire world was destroyed, evaporating into nothingness. All living beings in that realm ultimately turned to dust.

Chu Feng suddenly jolted, snapping out of his daze. What had he just witnessed? Had the Yang Realm exploded? Had it been pulverized?

This bizarre scene was truly terrifying!

He had sought out this tranquil mountainous area to plant three mysterious seeds, hoping to facilitate his own evolution. The stone jar was essential for this process.

This was because, as in the past, the seeds could only sprout and take root when placed within the stone jar.

Yet, just moments ago, before he had even begun planting, he had merely been gazing at the stone jar, exploring its peculiarities as he always did. He never expected to witness such a sight!

A world pierced through, shattered into pieces, a universe burning and completely evaporating—what kind of spectacle was that?

Was that the Yang Realm? It seemed similar yet not quite, just a faint resemblance!

A chill ran through him. Had he witnessed the past, or inadvertently glimpsed the future? It was truly bone-chilling.

He remained seated, maintaining his previous posture, and once again immersed his mind in the stone jar. Soon after, he entered a meditative state and quickly witnessed another anomaly.

Amidst the undulations of the heavens, world after world rose and fell, like countless bubbles, like suspended specks of dust, endless and continuous—truly a myriad of worlds.

What was that destructive light that pierced through a world?

It was... the stone jar!

It appeared to be either fleeing or being struck, arriving from a distant, unknown place, piercing through one realm and devastating a vast world, thus causing destruction!

Was this a scene from the past, the origin of the stone jar!? Chu Feng was profoundly shaken; he had never imagined seeing such an extraordinary sight today!

“Where do you come from? How many worlds have you traversed? And how many great realms have met their demise because of you?” Chu Feng murmured softly.

Holding the stone jar, he felt an unprecedented heaviness; this object had an incredibly profound origin.

For a full day and night, he did not plant the three seeds. Instead, he quietly contemplated, seeking to uncover the ultimate truth.

In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh. This was beyond his current capacity to explore—at least for now!

However, he believed the Yang Realm might be different; at the very least, after the stone jar landed in this realm, it was sustained, and this world did not collapse and perish.

“Or, are you inherently an object of this realm?” Chu Feng mused.

A faint tearing sound!

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound, followed by the sight of cold, dark light interwoven as it passed. He initially thought he was mistaken, but what level of being was he? A Constancy King! How could it be an illusion?

“The bottom of the stone jar?!”

Chu Feng was astonished. The bottom of the stone jar, which had never shown any activity, now seemed to have faint wisps of black lines extending into the depths of the endlessly distant void. How could it be so strange?

He possessed Super Fiery Golden Eyes, and in that instant, he vaguely sensed an immense, boundless terror. The ends of these threads seemed to be connected to infinite worlds.

“Black threads, they seem to carry traces of... the aura of the Underworld?!”

The Underworld, interwoven with myriad worlds, extending towards vast realms resembling mountain peaks and ocean waves—was this true?

Those places... all contained the most ancient Underworld?!

This kind of Underworld could certainly not be the cycle of reincarnation he had traveled. It must have formed countless eras earlier, eons before any traceable epoch.

Was this naturally formed, or was it artificially carved out?

If it were the former, then the heavens were truly unfathomable and unimaginable, never having been truly comprehended or understood by so-called ultimate powerhouses.

But if it were the latter, that would be even more terrifying! Who possessed such immense power to carve out and connect one realm after another, striking terror into the mortal world and dominating both ancient and modern times?

“In this era, there are still Samsara Hunters. Perhaps I should start with them, and through the cycle of reincarnation I have traveled in this era, uncover the terrifying truth hidden within the mists!” Chu Feng declared.

He felt that when his abilities were sufficient, the new Underworld path of this era would be his target, where he might discover something.

However, this was easier said than done. The so-called contemporary cycle of reincarnation had already existed for unknown eons, ancient enough to terrify, and its depths were chilling.

It should be noted that even enemies of Li and the Martial Lunatic, if defeated, chose to take this path, demonstrating the supreme standard of the contemporary cycle of reincarnation!

“You are truly bizarre, heart-stopping, and chilling!” Chu Feng gazed at the stone jar in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more profound and unfathomable it seemed.

Only a small corner of the stone jar's side pattern had been revealed so far. On it, he had vaguely seen supreme beings bleeding and dying from an era before the Imperial Fall, and he had also obtained dozens, even hundreds, of supremely powerful golden runes from that small area!

And now, the bottom of the stone jar had finally unveiled the tip of its iceberg. While he was in a daze, faint black threads had extended from it.

How truly strange!

Chu Feng was puzzled: why was he able to witness such an anomaly today?

He pondered extensively. The only recent unusual event was when he slew Taigu Heavenly Venerate, and the stone jar had shattered that grain-sized broken tile. Was it connected to that?

“That looked like a shard from an earthenware jar. At the time, I felt it had a somewhat similar aura to the stone jar in my hand, as if they were artifacts from the same era!”

Chu Feng was perplexed. Was what he had just seen caused by energy transferred from the tile fragment, or did Taigu's earthenware shard awaken some memory within the stone jar?

At this moment, in a place infinitely distant, beyond the heavens and earth, in an unknown location, a voice rang out: “Unthought and unremembered, I still return!”

In fact, many anomalies occurred in the Yang Realm that day, and they were not limited to just this region.

Samsara Hunters were frequently dispatched because they discovered, with chilling dread, that terrifying cracks were appearing around certain areas of the cycle of reincarnation.

Repair the ancient path!

Some beings, long since said to have transcended in legends, who existed even before the Martial Lunatic's era, had emerged and were... rapidly mending the path!

Vaguely, from the cracks near a section of the cycle of reincarnation, a voice echoed: “I once reigned supreme for ten generations, crowned among mortals, king for ten lives, but who am I now, and where is my former self?”

The voice was filled with desolation, ancientness, and an inexplicable despair.

If Chu Feng were there, he would surely recognize it as the voice of the valiant young man he had seen outside a city in the Yang Realm before a certain dawn, who was suspected of being a prisoner temporarily freed from the ultimate dark depths of reincarnation for a breath of fresh air.

Other beings, whose phantoms were reflected in the cracks, manifested in human form, emerging with bewilderment and wistfulness, growling: “Who am I? Who suppressed time? Who erased the ages? Who imprisoned me? I once swept across countless universes, seeking a single defeat in vain—I am... an Emperor!?”

At this moment, by the banks of the Soul River, the most mysterious place known and heard only by peerless powerhouses, a spirit-calming tune resounded. Its faint sound pierced through time, reaching the four cardinal floating lands, passing beyond the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit...

At this very moment, in the Martial Lunatic's secluded cultivation ground, a crisp sound echoed. A prehistoric ancient lamp within his cultivation sanctuary developed cracks, and its light instantly extinguished!

It was known that this lamp had an astonishing origin and had existed for an immense time, capable of foretelling aspects of his terrifying future.

This instantly roused him, causing an alarm to rise in his heart. He quietly performed a divination, then gasped sharply. At this moment, all his disciples and followers in this extreme northern land were startled.

“Ancestor, what has happened?!” some disciples and followers cautiously and tremblingly asked from afar, their voices trembling.

“My master's master, still alive, is truly going to live to reach this era?!” the Martial Lunatic muttered to himself, his eyes like abysses, occasionally emitting faint, invisible, and terrifying light.

Then came a suppressed silence. After a brief moment, the Martial Lunatic spoke again in a low voice: “The prophecy from back then has come true; an unprecedented upheaval is beginning, right in this era!”

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Frontier, the region where Chu Feng resided after breaking out of reincarnation years ago, the Ji Clan's territory—where he had assumed the identity of Ji Dade—also underwent changes.

One could see immortal light soaring into the sky from the Ji Clan's back mountain, auspicious energy rising, and billions of divine rays illuminating the entire vast wilderness and its mountains.

All of this originated from the divine temple on the Ji Clan's back mountain. The dwelling place of the temple's fairy, back then, now shone like a hundred thousand blazing suns across the sky.

If Chu Feng were here, he would undoubtedly be astonished!

For the light illuminating the mortal world was surprisingly filled with intense reincarnation energy, and a life form was returning within the shimmering glow, continuously growing stronger!

She was none other than the Temple Fairy. When Chu Feng first met her, he sensed her unique aura and speculated that she was a reincarnated being, a prehistoric supreme powerhouse.

After reincarnation, she had awakened everything. In her previous life, before transcending, she had left behind too many contingencies, and now all her powers were rapidly recovering!

In fact, this was not a recent development. Earlier, even when Chu Feng was on the Three-Way Battlefield, he had heard rumors that an immeasurable powerhouse was awakening in the frontier, and their terrestrial heavenly kingdom was recovering, poised for a complete return!

Now, this evolution had reached its peak. The Temple Fairy's full power was concentrating and surging. A grand temple could be seen solidifying within the heavenly kingdom, glowing with extreme golden brilliance, and the figure seated within it was supremely powerful and vast!

Not only the Temple Fairy, but even the energy of the old woman who followed her was also ascending.

Furthermore, Chu Feng's acquaintance, Wintergreen—the woman with a wide waist, a large mouth, long chest hair, and a birthmark on her face, who had once taught Chu Feng the Shaoyin Fist—was also rapidly growing stronger!

In the Yang Realm, many people sensed this. For instance, old monsters slumbering in famous mountains and great rivers were awakened.

Even from the First Mountain, Number Nine abruptly looked up, staring at the Eastern Frontier!

In the extreme northern land, the Martial Lunatic had an even stronger sensation, his eyes shooting forth divine light as he muttered: “Li is dead, yet she—the myth among myths—has reappeared!”

In the increasingly magnificent temple in the Eastern Frontier, a voice resonated, as if descending from the thirty-third heaven—grand and sacred, like time illuminating the world, its Dao rhythm baptizing the entire Eastern Great Wilderness.

“The great upheaval, in this very era, has begun! Wintergreen, gather the old subordinates remaining in the Yang Realm and solidify my heavenly kingdom!”

Upon hearing this, Wintergreen abruptly looked up at the ancient divine temple within the heavenly kingdom and declared: “I respectfully obey the supreme decree!”

In the Yang Realm, various changes were unfolding; everything had become different.

However, Chu Feng paid no attention to these events. He was about to begin planting those three mysterious seeds, preparing for his evolution!
