Chapter 1475: Ultimate Walk of the World

Someone held a long spear, pointing it remotely at the Supreme Being!

The scene was silent; people stood frozen in place.

Since ancient times, how many have dared to act like this, looking down on the world and reprimanding the Master of the Soul River?!

If this were to spread, people outside would surely find it hard to believe.

Even the Corpse King was stunned, eyes wide, thinking how arrogant and domineering those nine human skins were. But could they really summon that one?

The Dog Emperor's mouth also went dry, and he swallowed with difficulty.

Intimidating the Supreme Being of the Soul River—needless to say, this event alone would be enough to be recorded in history!

Tai Yi, the Martial Emperor, the owner of the Black Blood Research Institute, and others were somewhat bewildered.

They considered themselves wild enough in the mortal realm, but witnessing Jiu Dao Yi's demeanor today, they truly understood what it meant to be outclassed.

That human skin... had it gone mad? What was it doing, directly challenging a Supreme Being!

The few of them felt that either Jiu Dao Yi had gone mad, or the world had gone mad, or perhaps they themselves had gone mad and were experiencing various hallucinations.

The Dog Emperor's eyes gleamed with delight, feeling greatly relieved. It had finally vented its frustration. For so many years, it had wanted to do this but never had the chance.

Now, with Jiu Dao Yi intimidating the Supreme Being of the Soul River, it felt incredibly satisfying.

The Dog Emperor held the little Saint Ape tightly in its arms, protecting it very carefully.

It looked at Jiu Dao Yi and said, "It's all up to you now."

The Dog Emperor felt that this old human skin was quite reliable and never made empty promises.

Its heart began to pound with excitement. Could it really summon that one back? It almost wanted to let out a roar!

In fact, everyone present was incredibly excited, their hearts surging like crashing waves.

The Corpse King's eyes glowed blue as he stared intently at Jiu Dao Yi, his heart intensely desiring that one's arrival!

Li, enveloped in black light, even with his usual composure, was breathing rapidly. Could they truly witness a miracle today?!

The Martial Emperor's eyes glowed green; he remained silent, but his chest heaved violently.

The owner of the Black Blood Research Institute and others were so agitated they couldn't control themselves, trembling as if on the verge of suffocation.

Could they truly witness the return of that legendary being, who had gradually faded into obscurity and was no longer visible in the mortal realm?!

At this moment, all creatures in the Soul River knelt on the ground, trembling as if lambs facing prehistoric dragons, their entire bodies shaking as they kowtowed in worship.

The very reliable Jiu Dao Yi stood straight and firm like a javelin, fixed in place, his single arm holding the spear, pointing diagonally towards the ultimate depths of the Soul River.

He remained motionless, holding that exact posture!

"Counting from one to nine, the summoning begins!" The Dog Emperor was very relaxed, even having the leisure to count down.

It believed that old human skin was confident, which was why it was so calm, so quiet, not making a sound.

The bald man was anxious and nervous, but also filled with anticipation, looking at Jiu Dao Yi with an expression of worship. He secretly marveled at how impressive that old human skin was, reprimanding a Supreme Being as if scolding his own grandson, and then posing afterwards, completely unfazed—truly steady!

"Master, that's enough, summon him! Please, bring him back!" Li secretly urged.

Jiu Dao Yi showed no reaction, standing coolly there, pointing towards the depths of darkness, his spear tip still aimed directly at the Supreme Being. He did not move!

In the ultimate cursed land of the Soul River, that terrifying eye was utterly chilling, as if it could split heaven and earth, causing space to collapse, time to warp, and all realms to fall into deadly silence.

In the darkness, nothing could be seen but that terrifying eye, boundlessly horrifying, cold and ruthless, looking down upon all realms.

Across countless universes, only the eye remained eternal, becoming the sole presence in all realms!

Had it not been for the protection of the Emperor's Bell, no outsider could have stood before the Soul River; at this moment, all things would have been annihilated, nothing could have remained.

One could see that the eye in the depths of the boundless dark universe, as it opened and closed, caused the Great Dao to shatter, and all hostile, sentient beings would be destroyed.

The divine sword of the Black Blood Research owner, left on the battlefield, dimmed, then exploded, turning into wisps of vital energy that were absorbed by that terrifying eye.

Even a mother-gold weapon of this caliber suffered such a fate? One could see how chilling it was.

What if it were a flesh-and-blood body? Presumably, it would instantly decay and turn to dust.

With a single glance, all things perished, the order of all realms was severed—it was unimaginable how powerful he truly was!

Yet, in this oppressive atmosphere, against this chilling backdrop, the Dog Emperor remained assertive, saying, "What are you looking at?"

It was very displeased because that eye was too indifferent, unmoving and silent, just looking down on everyone, like an ancestral immortal high above the thirty-three heavens coldly observing ants on the ground.

The bald man gently tugged at him, signaling him not to be impulsive. After all, that one hadn't been summoned back yet, so this was not the time for recklessness.

The Dog Emperor held back repeatedly, only then refraining from speaking. Otherwise, it would have wanted to reprimand that enormous eye again: "Cyclops, what are you looking at?!"

Then, it turned to look at the very reliable Jiu Dao Yi. That old human skin truly kept its composure, still so cool. The Dog Emperor wanted to say, "How old are you? Why are you trying to be cool?!"

"Master, that's enough, stop posing!" Li secretly urged once more.

The very reliable Jiu Dao Yi was as steady as Mount Tai, remaining absolutely motionless, his spear tip held high without even a tremor.

The Corpse King grew a bit anxious and transmitted a message through his mind: "Hey, old skin, that's enough. Hurry up and summon him, or something big is going to happen!"

After all, the Emperor's Bell's defense couldn't be limitless; continuous vibration would eventually lead to flaws.

However, none of this affected Jiu Dao Yi's "steadiness" in the slightest!

The Dog Emperor also felt something was off. Had this old fellow been too steady? What time was it? Still pretending. Give some reaction!

"I have waited long enough. Have you summoned that one back?"

From the ultimate depths of the Soul River came a cold voice. That eye became even more terrifying, countless patterns spreading around it, and time itself became chaotic.

One could even see the long river of time appearing, incredibly, flowing backward!

As for the countless rules and innumerable chains of order, they burned like waves in his ocean-like aura, extinguishing and returning to nothingness.

The entire Soul River battlefield was desolate, heaven and earth withered, and all vitality was completely drained.

All of this was because the Supreme Being had awakened, coldly observing the Dog Emperor, Jiu Dao Yi, and the others.

As for the outside world, it was equally terrifying.

All realms rumbled, and the Great Dao shattered!

At this moment, all worlds seemed to be falling!

Everywhere, the sound of the Dao boomed, rules broke apart, creating a terrifying scene of doomsday.

In many heavens, astonishing phenomena occurred: Dao Ancestors lay dead, plummeting into abysses.

The blurred phantom of the Soul River's Supreme Being appeared, reflected in various heavens, with the patriarchs of different sects lying dead at its feet, bloody and horrifying, striking fear into all living beings of the current age.

Some were scenes from the past, others premonitions of the future, appearing in the celestial domains and shining upon various worlds, terrifying every powerful being.

On this day, all cultivators trembled. Was the world heading towards its end? Was another epoch about to conclude? Every race felt a sense of sorrow.

The immortal Dao lineages, transmissions that had spanned more than one epoch, had all made preparations long ago. Now, some old monsters sighed, beginning to make arrangements and deployments.

The Soul River, the world beyond the gate.

Jiu Dao Yi finally twisted his neck; though boneless, a crackling sound still emanated. He muttered under his breath, "Damn it, he actually came out?!"

At this moment, the Dog Emperor was getting exasperated, saying, "You old skin, you're truly as steady as a dog, but why don't you actually summon someone?!"

The Corpse King even wanted to step forward and shake him; he couldn't stand the old skin's slow pace!

Jiu Dao Yi secretly transmitted a message: "If I could summon him, would I have waited until today? I would have long since annihilated the Soul River and the Ancient Underworld. I just wanted to try and see if I could scare him."

You son of a gun! The Dog Emperor almost leaped up, wanting to smash him with a paw. So you were just pretending! And here I was just saying you were the most reliable.

The Corpse King was also dumbfounded, completely frozen in place.

The bald man was speechless. No one was more outrageous than this one. Was it all just bragging?!

The Martial Emperor's eyes glowed green; he didn't want to say anything.

Clearly, the Supreme Being of the Soul River did not believe Jiu Dao Yi could summon that person back.

"Then why did you stop me from acting earlier?" The Dog Emperor wanted to bite this old skin to death; it had never seen anyone so unreliable, just indulging in verbal theatrics.

Even Li was speechless, standing to the side, unwilling to acknowledge him.

"I'll do it then!" The Dog Emperor said with extreme seriousness. Everyone said it was unreliable, but now it seemed it was the most reliable!

Jiu Dao Yi spoke, "Don't just attack wildly. What if you miss? Earlier, I was worried that this so-called Supreme Being might be a stand-in, deliberately luring us to use our trump cards. That would be big trouble, so I stopped you."

The Dog Emperor also had concerns. Trump cards were naturally reserved for the end, requiring a sure hit. If something went wrong, they would all perish here.

At this moment, in the ultimate depths, the eye opened even wider, as if boundless great realms vaguely appeared within it, all in its gaze, all in its depths, and those great realms... had been destroyed.

Was that the scene of the Supreme Being's bloody purge of various realms in the past?

The Emperor's Bell shook violently, clearly enduring boundless power. Its chimes were vast, resounding through all heavens and myriad worlds, deeply shocking all powerful beings.

The black dog was urging the great bell, communicating with the will within its body.

In fact, the artifact spirit had awakened; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the Supreme Being's aura. Only by reviving on its own could it unleash boundless power.

But unfortunately, it was severely damaged. In the bloody war of myriad worlds long ago, it had been pierced through, and many fragments of its body were scattered outside.

"Let me do it then!" Jiu Dao Yi spoke, raising his battle spear high. Was this starting all over again?

The Dog Emperor and the Corpse King, among others, no longer wanted to talk to him.

"Dog-child, tell me about your visualization method. It seems to hold another mystery, something unique. I'd like to try visualizing it too, to summon that one's appearance." Jiu Dao Yi said seriously, holding his battle spear.

The Dog Emperor was stunned. This old human skin really dared to mess around. It said, "You don't even have bones; you can't endure it. Besides, are you familiar with that one? I walked with the Heavenly Emperor until the very end, which is why I dare to visualize like this. I even have a wisp of primordial essence given by the Heavenly Emperor, so I fear nothing."

"Familiar!" Jiu Dao Yi said, but he was also very disheartened. He had prayed for countless ages, yet no one had responded, which left him despondent and worried.

He looked up and said, "Tell me how to visualize, and I will summon based on that!"

At the same time, Jiu Dao Yi launched an offensive. The battle spear became entirely resplendent at this moment, no longer ordinary, its killing intent surging, almost piercing through all realms.

One could see it suddenly turn crystalline, countless Great Dao runes burning fiercely, like a torch of civilization's origin, igniting the dark macrocosm.

At this moment, its light shone upon all realms. All powerful beings sensed it and saw it, all gasping in cold air.

It was like a bright lamp, a lighthouse, in the vast ocean of the endless dark world, guiding a supreme powerful being, showing him the way home!

"In the past, that battle spear from the ancient Heavenly Court?!"

Some incredibly ancient old-timers recognized the spear's origin, their hearts trembling. It had actually reappeared. Today, all realms were about to be shattered.

One could see the myriad Dao as fire, the spear tip glowing, igniting. Sounds of order and great realms collapsing came forth. Jiu Dao Yi was visualizing, calling out to that person, and at the same time, he used all his strength to thrust this spear!

Under the great bell's light shield, an area opened up, allowing the spear tip to pass through, erupting with runic radiance, its killing intent suppressing all ages!

"Kill!"

The Dog Emperor was also cooperating, communicating with the great bell's consciousness, asking it to unleash its strongest strike to suppress and kill the terrifying creature in the cursed land ahead.

The boundless Soul River creatures had all vanished, swept away by the light beams emitted from the opening and closing of that eye; otherwise, all who remained here would have been annihilated.

The bell chimes shook the world; they not only involved a murderous tribulation but also touched upon the essence of time. This was the Heavenly Emperor's strongest technique, a Great Dao he had comprehended over countless ages.

His weapon naturally contained infinite profound principles. Time flowed like water, sweeping through, and then transformed into a blade of time, cleaving through eternity!

At the edge of darkness, dazzling light beams erupted. Myriad Dao sank, and the rules of all realms shattered. It was utterly terrifying as the long blade of time swept through everything.

At the same time, the immeasurable light emitted from Jiu Dao Yi's spear tip pierced through eternity, invulnerable, also striking, aiming to suppress all evils of ancient times!

Here, there was a silent annihilation. The aura of creation permeated, then rapidly expanded, as if everything was returned to its primordial beginning, all things and beings in chaos.

"Alas, this is not that one's weapon; it's merely his spoils of war," Jiu Dao Yi sighed inwardly.

Outside, Qingzhou.

Chu Feng looked up at the sky. The world was changing, with various phenomena constantly appearing: one moment the sky was stained like blood, the next there were scenes of Dao Ancestors falling, then Immortal Kings shedding bloody tears.

On this day, all cultivators could perceive various unique phenomena, and even mortals had some vague awareness, glimpsing "wondrous sights" from beyond the heavens.

Chu Feng was very anxious. He had circled 108 times, almost getting lost, yet he was getting closer and closer to the Soul-light Cavern.

"I really don't want to go!" he couldn't help but sigh. Was there any reason left in this? No matter how they changed their route, patterns would appear beneath their feet, like a naturally formed spatiotemporal tunnel, its destination directly pointing to the Soul River.

He had already sent Ziduan away; she was unaffected. Chu Feng realized he probably couldn't escape and would ultimately have to go.

What was this, a ghost?! He cursed. Wouldn't running over there now be suicide? It was true that he called himself Chu the Ultimate, but that was for the future, not the present.

If he were to venture in now, let alone dealing with the big ones in the Soul River, even that white duck from earlier, if its body were fine, could kill him.

Chu Feng made one last attempt: whether traversing mountains or crossing the solar river like a golden ocean, nothing was of any use.

Under his feet, Dao patterns spread, like ripples, or intertwined galaxies, forming a path for him, ultimately still leading to the Soul-light Cavern.

"If I can't choose, if I can't resist, then... I'll make a strong entrance!"

Compromise, bowing his head — he absolutely refused to admit it. Couldn't he just go himself?!

Chu Feng was driven mad. Gritting his teeth, he decided to go himself!

Whether it was a force pulling him or someone else acting to compel him to the Soul River, he didn't want to appear too disheveled.

"That white duck, it used to be very afraid of me. And that black dog from before, it also looked at me strangely. Do I seem to resemble someone?"

On the way, Chu Feng began to act frantically!

First, he selected suitable clothes, then aged them. Finally, he simply dug out a tattered battle attire that Old Gu had given him, excavated from an unknown era pre-dating prehistoric times, and put it on!

Then, he tidied himself up, making himself... look old!

He rummaged around and found a small black wooden spear, the length of a chopstick, and stuck it in his topknot as a wooden hairpin!

He felt this item was definitely ancient and its value unimaginable, so using it as a hairpin was quite fitting and wouldn't diminish its worth.

"I stand at the peak of the Great Dao, the strongest from ancient times to the present! Who recites my name? Who summons my true form?!"

Chu Feng struck a pose but felt it was still easy to expose himself. After all, his own cultivation level hadn't reached the ultimate realm. No matter how loudly he shouted, if he encountered an unreasonable peerless being who slapped him, he would definitely become... meat paste.

"My 'act' isn't strong enough. My 'divinity' is lacking, and my 'Dao-essence' isn't full. I still need to... age myself!"

Along the way, he strode forward, tidying himself up, otherwise, being passively dragged there was dangerous enough, and being underestimated would be too humiliating.

At the very least, he felt his entrance should have his own flair. Whether it was an act or how he would be in the future, he didn't want to appear cheap now.

However, he searched his entire body and couldn't find many things that could make him appear older. Only the stone jar and the three seeds were presentable, but he dared not reveal them.

Otherwise, he might become like the Supreme Dao fruit left behind by a meditating Immortal Emperor, where everyone would want a bite, everyone would want to taste "Tang Monk's flesh."

"Reincarnation Earth!"

Later, Chu Feng discovered that only this item was special enough and ancient enough. He didn't know how many years it had accumulated at the end of the reincarnation path to gather such a small amount.

Moreover, Old Gu once said that his elder brother, Li, had searched for ages and didn't even know if he had found an ounce or two of Soul-flesh.

The name of this thing seemed to be—Soul-flesh?! It seemed to have an even more astonishing title.

What to do? Chu Feng gritted his teeth and directly refined the Soul-flesh into his own flesh and blood. This item's aura was ancient enough; if his entire body emanated an energy aura from infinite eons ago, probably no one would dare call him a raw youth.

"By then, don't provoke me. In the eyes of this Heavenly Emperor, you are all just a bunch of old brats!" Chu Feng hypnotized himself.

If he didn't even believe it himself, how could he fool others?

"It really freaking hurts!" Chu Feng grimaced, as he injected the Soul-flesh into his body. His entire body felt like it was being cut by knives, bloody, surpassing any pain he had ever experienced—it was too unbearable.

"No, it also needs to be arranged into supreme runes to look more convincing!" Chu Feng pondered briefly, then directly acted upon himself, arranging the Soul-flesh within his flesh and blood, constructing some inscrutable symbols.

Early on, in the Bright Dead City on the reincarnation path, he had discovered that when the enormous stone millstone crushed the corpses of myriad spirits, a line of golden symbols would flash.

Later, he saw a more comprehensive and complete set of golden symbols, even more profound than those on the stone millstone, which had appeared when the stone jar glowed on one occasion.

Now, he was carving precisely these patterns.

Soon after, Chu Feng's aura truly changed: ancient, profound, and even somewhat inscrutable, making him completely unreadable.

Chu Feng was surprised and doubtful; the effect was too obvious!

Even he himself felt as if he had become a different person, muttering, "I'm actually this ancient, mysterious, and formidable? Am I a supreme being?!"

This was simply blind confidence!

Of course, he wouldn't admit it. He only wanted to say that this Heavenly Emperor was merely hypnotizing himself temporarily; it was all for tempering, to make himself stronger and unparalleled through the ages.

"To be safe, again!"

Chu Feng truly went all out, injecting the Soul-flesh into his bones, mixing it with the bone marrow, then taking care of his internal organs and his entire body.

Who would dare to be so reckless? If it were someone else, they'd probably torment themselves to death.

Finally, when he had injected Soul-flesh into his bones and internal organs and arranged the golden runes, his entire body became chaotic, an inexplicable aura flowing around him, making him unfathomable!

For a moment, though he stood still, it was as if he had vanished from the world, becoming very difficult to sense.

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, standing alone at the peak of the Great Dao!" Chu Feng spoke again. This time, he felt he had a bit of a "look."

He mused that he had completed ninety-nine bows, perhaps just one last tremor was needed, then he went all out, beginning to take action.

He injected the Soul-flesh into his own soul-light and began to melt and arrange it, forming those supreme symbols, imprinted throughout his entire soul.

From this moment, he completely felt detached from the world. This experience was elusive, strange, and astonishing, giving him even the illusion that he was very powerful!

Now, with Soul-flesh merged into his soul-light and dispersed throughout his flesh and bones, he was truly different!

"Could it be that Soul-flesh is supposed to be used like this?" Chu Feng strongly suspected.

Unfortunately, Old Gu didn't know what Li had intended to do with this item back then; he only knew its value was incredibly high, unimaginable.

"Is using it this way good or bad?" Chu Feng frowned.

"Never mind. After this is over, if I'm still alive, and if something feels off, I'll just dig it out," Chu Feng mused.

He suddenly looked up and realized he could already see that terrifying area. The broken Soul-light Cavern continuously spewed out chaotic qi, emanating a dreadful energy.

If one were to rashly intrude there, even mighty cultivators would likely have their physical bodies collapse and their soul-lights be extinguished forever!

Beneath Chu Feng's feet, mysterious golden patterns spread and intertwined, forming a broad, unobstructed path directly to the Soul River. All energy and chaotic qi automatically dispersed upon encountering this path.

This was a true and typical example of immunity to all laws!

"A bit eerie, quite sinister!" Chu Feng's pupils constricted.

He adjusted his emotions, no longer letting his mind wander. He was almost there, and he had to have that kind of demeanor.

The next moment, he strode forward with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down upon the world, walking with an air of arrogance.

He had been in this state before; back in the Lesser Netherworld, he had once swept across all directions with no rivals.

Of course, now he had to keep up the act, be more profound, and even more unfathomable.

"I am the Supreme Chu Ultimate, I am the invincible Heavenly Emperor!" Chu Feng constantly reminded himself in his heart.

However, looking at the path beneath his feet, he still felt a bit as if his spirit was wandering through the void. How exactly was this formed?

In a trance, it seemed as if some energy poured out from him, constructing this path. Could he truly harbor some hidden secret?!

No, Chu Feng shook his head. He was him, not anyone else!

Then, he thought through his entire body. The only things that could be surprising were just a few: the stone jar, the three seeds. What else could there be?!

Or was there someone else secretly guiding him here?

Chu Feng arrived, walked into that mysterious passage, and once again saw the Soul River, and at the end of the Soul River—the gate!

He was speechless. The Dao patterns intertwined beneath his feet, pointing directly to the world beyond the gate. He had no choice. Since he had come this far, he would break into the world beyond the gate!

At this moment, before the ultimate depths of the Soul River, the aura was boundless and terrifying, utterly horrifying.

The bell's chimes swept across everything. This time, it wasn't in the form of a celestial blade but true ripples, sweeping through past, present, and future—it was astonishing. And the spear's tip was peerlessly sharp, piercing through all obstacles.

"This Emperor defies evil, I will defy the heavens!" the Dog Emperor roared, his entire body covered in blood. Even though he was withered, he was still urging his last remaining vitality, burning it to kill the Supreme Being.

"He truly has a problem, otherwise he wouldn't be like this; he would have long since emerged to annihilate everything!" Jiu Dao Yi also roared, covered in blood.

In that ultimate place, at the end of endless darkness, as that eye opened, blood actually flowed from it. It was from the impact of the Emperor's Bell just now.

This was terrifying. When the Supreme Being's old wounds flared up and blood dripped, all heavens actually rumbled, and celestial domains cracked, utterly horrifying!

The Dog Emperor fought desperately, once again visualizing the Heavenly Emperor and urging the great bell, saying, "Are you still there? Come back! This Emperor is in trouble! Descend! Explode the Soul River! Level the source of all strangeness!"

Jiu Dao Yi had already learned that special visualization method, sacrificing his battle spear with blood, calling out to that legendary person, constantly praying in his heart for him to return.

"Ants, have you finished your summoning? Who dares to descend?!"

From the ultimate depths of the Soul River, the Supreme Being was incredibly cold, ruthless, and indifferent, as if sitting cross-legged before the creation of heaven and earth, looking down upon a swarm of ants.

However, no sooner had his words ceased than, silently and without warning, a person appeared before the Soul River. No one had sensed him beforehand. He was blurred, surrounded by a thick mist.

"I... Woof!" The Dog Emperor almost fell backward onto its rump.

"Someone really descended?!" The owner of the Black Blood Research Institute was shocked.

In the depths of the Soul River's ultimate land, all sound suddenly ceased!

That person was very indistinct, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, calmly looking at the darkest edge of the cursed land, staring at that bleeding eye.
