Chapter 1441: Legend Becomes Reality

Chu Feng's long-cherished wish was to kill colossal beings with his chopstick-length, black, decayed wooden spear. Even when he was weak, he had once speared a quasi-Heavenly Venerate. Now, at his current cultivation level, with ample Reincarnation Soil prepared, he felt confident that it wouldn't be an issue.

"Why do I feel this tremor in my heart? Something's not right. Is there danger approaching?" Chu Feng frowned. He stood on the somewhat desolate land, gazing at the sky, his posture poised, ready to strike down the unidentified enemy behind him. But now, he had a very unsettling premonition; a deep unease stirred within him, signaling a bad omen.

Could the Martial Lunatic really be emerging from seclusion to rule the world? Chu Feng felt a sense of foreboding, yet he also thought it unlikely that such a lunatic would appear just for him at this stage. The Yang Realm was a complex place, with more than just one or two prehistoric ultimate beings. There were even monsters alive who were contemporaries of the Martial Lunatic's master. At this stage, whoever emerged first would be closely watched by all sides. Chu Feng reasoned that the Martial Lunatic wouldn't make a move now.

Sensing something amiss, Chu Feng instantly opened a spatial rift and warped away from his current location. Mastering the Domain ability allowed him to harness the power of mountains and all things. Chu Feng moved like a floating light, traversing half a state through a spatial tunnel before appearing on a towering mountain.

"That feeling hasn't diminished; instead, it's getting stronger," Chu Feng's expression changed. Around him, piles of divine magnetic stones hovered in the air like a swirling galaxy, activating the power of the mountains below and the stellar essence from beyond the sky, releasing domain power. He was ready to flee at any moment, but he was still a little unwilling. He truly wanted to unleash a massacre in the wild and eliminate his pursuing enemies. Even at this point, he hadn't completely given up. Chu Feng furrowed his brow. What kind of crisis was approaching now?

Meanwhile, at the edge of the same state, the white-haired powerful woman, Ling, stopped. She possessed a special "Heavenly Jade"—a priceless treasure refined from the primordial realm stone of the Yang Realm. Among the Martial Lunatic's lineage, only his four most favored disciples possessed it; not all direct disciples could wield it, as it was exceedingly precious. As long as they were in the Yang Realm, no matter where they traveled, they could receive messages from the Martial Lunatic and the other three fellow disciples who held a "Heavenly Jade."

Now, the Heavenly Jade on Ling, the white-haired powerful woman, glowed. She listened quietly, and soon a spatial rift opened. Her sect, knowing her coordinates, sent her a blood-stained battle spear via a teleportation domain. The spear was about ten feet long, forged from blood bamboo that grew in chaos, refined into a quasi-ultimate weapon. Legend had it that it grew from the blood of fallen primordial gods and demons.

Of course, the most precious aspect of this item was not its material, but the accumulation of Dao essence left behind by its owner. This was the Martial Lunatic's weapon from his youth. Though called a weapon from his youth, how long had the Martial Lunatic lived? An immensely long time. His exact age was indeterminable; his "youth" and "prime" were in fact super-long periods!

The spear's body was covered in dense blood-colored patterns, its sharpness contained. Yet, anyone seeing it for the first time would shiver, their soul light trembling involuntarily. This weapon was terrifying, as if it aimed to devour the blood essence of all beings and harvest the souls of all living creatures. Instantly, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and the sky shattered—these scenes were too horrific; all of them were caused by this spear. Over an unknown number of thousands of miles, plants and vegetation withered and died, their vital essence instantly drained.

The Blood Spear was terrifying. Although its aura was contained, its invisible might was unparalleled. It was imaginable what consequences would ensue if one were to wield it and strike; all powerful enemies would be pierced, and rules and order would be shattered! The Martial Emperor's most senior direct disciple, the sect's head disciple, told Ling that as long as she sensed Chu Feng's aura, infused a wisp of it into the Blood Spear, and threw it, it would automatically kill the enemy. Once the Martial Emperor's Spear was unleashed, it was destined to shock the world! Even across hundreds of millions of miles, it would not stop until the enemy was slain, and would not return without being drenched in blood!

However, even gripping the Martial Emperor's Spear, the white-haired powerful woman Ling suddenly felt uneasy. Especially now, with her invincible master's famous weapon from his early years in hand, her heart trembled even more. "What is this place?" Ling's hair stood on end. She actually felt an urge to flee; staying in this place made her incredibly uncomfortable. This was completely illogical; holding the Martial Emperor's Spear should have brought peace of mind. She was confident she could pierce through all enemies in the world. Forget about Constant King Dao Fruit; even if a Constant Heavenly Venerate came, they would surely die!

But now, a shadow fell over her heart, and she felt a massive crisis approaching—an instinctive premonition. Ling's white hair fluttered. She was ethereal and exceptionally graceful, a rare beauty of her era. She soared into the air, shattered the void with the Martial Emperor's Spear in hand, and directly warped away. Of course, her direction of travel was still towards Chu Feng's last known location; she still intended to pursue and kill her enemy! At this moment, she infused a pre-extracted wisp of Chu Feng's aura into the Martial Emperor's Spear, preparing to hurl it and instantly kill the young man who had caused her disciple's death.

However, at that moment, her body couldn't help but tremble. After activating the Martial Emperor's Spear, her sense of unease intensified, and an endless pressure overwhelmed her, making it difficult to even breathe! "How is this possible?!" Ling was shocked. She hadn't felt like this in countless years. She had an overwhelming urge to flee.

At the same time, Chu Feng traversed the void again at the edge of the land, covering hundreds of thousands, even millions of miles in a single bound. He wanted to escape this state; it was too sinister, and he felt the situation was extremely dire. Besides his earlier unease, he now sensed a piercing sharpness aimed directly at his soul, as if trying to nail him to the ground from hundreds of millions of miles away.

"An ultimate being's weapon has appeared? Is it pointing at me now, about to be unleashed to kill me?" Chu Feng's instincts were incredibly sharp. However, he was not afraid, firmly believing his black wooden spear could contend with it. Still, even now, he hadn't discovered the source of that earlier pervasive crisis. Concurrently, he became increasingly aware that it was an irresistible catastrophe, as if the heavens were about to fall and the world was about to overturn, making it impossible to resist.

"Run!" He knew that this time he couldn't afford to fight a powerful enemy. He had to leave quickly. The feeling he had now was that the Yang Realm itself was about to shatter, and he felt a suffocating sensation.

At this moment, the white-haired powerful woman did not let go. She was terrified. The Martial Emperor's Spear in her hand erupted with sky-piercing blood light, painting half the state crimson. Intense, immensely powerful energy surged, causing mountains and all things to tremble. All living beings in the entire state shivered in fear, prostrating themselves in worship! "Something big has happened!" Not just Chu Feng, but all cultivators in the adjacent several great states felt their blood run cold, their hearts suppressed to the extreme, and then they broke through the void, fleeing in a desperate rush.

"Where is this?!" Chu Feng burst out of the void once more. He was astonished because, after several spatial traversals, he felt he hadn't gone far, suspecting he was still in the same state. Was this interference from some supreme Dao imprint? He swooped down to the ground, grabbing a terrified divine-level ferocious bird fleeing in the wilderness, and pressed it for information on its location.

The Golden Crane's feathers stood on end, its golden light shimmering, overly frightened. It responded with a trembling voice, "Han... State."

"Are there any special features, like forbidden zones or ultimate cursed lands in this state?" Chu Feng quickly pressed, and throughout this process, he didn't stop but took the Golden Crane with him, traversing space again, fleeing into the distance.

"This state... has no forbidden zones, but it's adjacent to Yin State, which is a place of utter destruction," the Golden Crane replied. It was utterly terrified. Who had it run into? Wasn't this Chu Feng, the Great Devil? It had just returned to the mountains from a modern city and had seen explosive news about him. To actually encounter him? It almost wanted to cry, cursing inwardly. It felt like it had truly stepped in dragon dung, run into incredibly bad luck, encountering such a suicidal troublemaker. Of course, the Golden Crane believed that while this person was courting death himself, he would certainly drag a large group of people down with him. Thus, it wailed in its heart, "Don't drag me into it, go court death on your own!"

Chu Feng's scalp tingled. He finally realized the problem. A major event that could shake the foundations of the Yang Realm was possibly about to occur in Yin State! He was not unfamiliar with Yin State, as a major incident had occurred there several years ago. At that time, Yin State was still peaceful, without any forbidden zones. But one day, half of the state suddenly exploded, and overwhelming Yin energy surged upwards, covering the entire state. On that day, the entire Yang Realm was shaken!

Many people speculated that the legends would become reality: the Great Underworld would eventually appear! Because, to many, the Great Underworld had always been a theoretical region, a world deduced in ancient times, difficult to manifest in reality. Until a few years ago, after countless quiet ages, black mist emerged from Yin State, and certain Great Daos were torn apart, shocking ultimate beings and potentially causing drastic changes in the Yang Realm.

In fact, Chu Feng had extensively investigated this matter. When Yin State burst open back then, it seemed to be man-made and premeditated. At that time, the overlord of Yong State first revived, rumored to unify the Yang Realm, diverting everyone's attention. Then, the Samsara Hunters appeared in the borderlands, also attracting global attention. But no one expected that ultimately, Yin State would explode, with black mist engulfing the universe. That year, countless powerful beings from the Yang Realm were dispatched to jointly seal the ruptured hole, and afterwards, they never spoke of the matter again. It was also several years ago that Yin State was added to the Yang Realm's list of forbidden lands, becoming the twenty-first unreachable forbidden zone where all who entered died.

At this moment, the white-haired powerful woman Ling felt it more deeply than Chu Feng, because she had personally been there that year, observing from afar outside Yin State with Taiwu. "The Great Underworld... has breached its dam?!" At this moment, she felt chills from head to toe. She clutched the Martial Emperor's Spear, unwilling to let go. And she fled at extreme speed. She finally knew where the problem was: this was Han State, adjacent to Yin State!

"Huh?!" At this point, Ling was horrified. The Martial Emperor's Spear in her hand emitted terrifying blood light, piercing the sky, and began to self-immolate. The white-haired powerful woman's entire arm holding the battle spear cracked and then transformed into a rain of light. She fled in pain and decisive action, moving far away from the Martial Emperor's Spear.

"Boom!" Heaven and earth cracked. The Martial Emperor's Spear flew towards Yin State, transforming into a massive, world-shaking beam of light. The Dao imprints it left behind were incomparably brilliant, incinerating the cosmos and spanning two states. "Why?!" Ling was incredulous. The Martial Emperor's Spear had not protected her; instead, it had severely wounded her. Moreover, the Martial Emperor's Spear's state was very wrong; like an offering, it was burning itself, releasing some unknown substance.

Rumble! In Yin State, black mist surged. When the Martial Emperor's Spear arrived, it resonated with the area, causing world-shaking roars. Billions of threads of Dao order manifested, weaving across the sky. Crack! At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through the hearts of all cultivators in the Yang Realm, shaking their minds.

Then, a monumental event, one that would be recorded in history and influence countless ages, erupted. Yin State exploded once again. Dark light surged out like an ocean. Most importantly, that inexplicable power of order and supreme Dao fragments rained down like countless stars, crashing with crackling sounds. The sky of Yin State shattered, releasing an irresistible, mighty power!

The Martial Emperor's Spear was burning, breaking inch by inch, turning into dust in the sky. The blood light it emitted surprisingly became a catalyst, seemingly beckoning someone or something to return.

"How dare you!" In the far north, the Martial Lunatic's eldest disciple was enraged. His master's weapon from his youth was actually destroyed, drawn in by some invisible domain, becoming an offering! Then, he quickly shut his mouth, his face pale. He had monitored what happened in Yin State through a precious mirror!

Yin State held special and significant meaning for their sect. One of his master's terrifying old enemies had fallen there, staining Yin State with blood. But even after many years, the Martial Emperor still constantly observed that state! Now, this eldest disciple realized something, and his face lost all color.

Rumble! Yin State's sky exploded, and something appeared, falling out!

"Ah..." At this very moment, the white-haired powerful being approaching Yin State turned deathly pale and couldn't help but scream. What did she see? A spine-chilling, deep-seated coldness permeated her entire body, rendering her immobile.
