Chapter 1546: Inevitable Spotlight

Chu Feng’s speed was incredible; he was racing directly towards the Two-Worlds Battlefield!

He seemed to tread upon the river of time, with time particles swirling beneath his feet and immortal mist enshrouding him. His body was as swift as a dazzling bolt of lightning, tearing through the sky.

Mysterious symbols shimmered and Dao patterns interwove beneath his feet.

Around him, it was as if twelve wings were fanning, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, soaring directly to the Ninth Heaven, looking down upon the Yang Realm. He was swiftly approaching the battlefield!

Of course, these were not real Kunpeng wings. Chu Feng had long refined them; the twelve-wing runes had merged into one, becoming ethereal, able to manifest anywhere on his body with a single thought.

Now, those runes emerged from the soles of his feet, making him move like electricity and light, as if traversing the long expanse of history, running through the ages.

These twelve wings were now an ethereal manifestation, a natural embodiment of Dao. Auspicious light bloomed and manifested around him, adorning his body, serving as a sacred and transcendent backdrop.

This was astonishing. In the past, he needed to rely on domain formations to traverse the void. Now, the abilities he displayed would make even powerful beings pale in comparison. His speed surpassed all limits, allowing him to quickly travel from one state to the next.

Chu Feng had realized that once speed broke through a critical point, dense time particles would appear, empowering him, making him clear-minded, strong, and divine. This allowed him to swiftly travel from a location in the Yang Realm to the Borderland World Wall.

Along the way, he cursed at the 'dog' several times; he was determined to provoke the Dog Emperor.

“Dog, bark if you’re alive!”

“Woof! It’s you, you little whelp! I’ll swallow you whole!”

Even though the Dog Emperor was old, hard of hearing, and its foundation severely damaged, it eventually realized who Chu Feng was. Being constantly envisioned, remembered, and talked about by others, how could an ancient spiritual creature like it not sense it?

It was furious, wishing it could stuff Chu Feng directly into its teeth!

However, in the end, both sides reached an agreement, primarily due to the Dog Emperor’s compromise. It was shocked to learn that this young man was suspected of having participated in the Soul River War, having attacked the Sacrificial Ground alongside its own faction, and that his background was “unfathomable.”

Of course, Chu Feng deliberately fabricated this “unfathomable” background to manipulate it, otherwise he feared the dog might turn on him, or even steal his stone jar and other treasures.

Millions of miles away, beyond the void of the Yang Realm, the Corpse beside the Dog Emperor’s face turned ashen. He felt as if struck by lightning. This unreliable youth was suspected of being related to him by blood? That was utterly absurd!

Was that little monster named Chu the surrogate father of his fragmented soul light?

Upon realizing this, the Dog Emperor grinned broadly, rested a large paw on the Corpse’s shoulder, smiling with an obvious mischievous intent, bright and radiant, and proclaimed: “You have a father!”

The Corpse nearly exploded on the spot!

Just then, Chu Feng shouted to the Corpse: “To avoid killing an acquaintance, let’s agree to disagree on our relationship!”

“Killing an acquaintance?!” The Corpse’s face turned from black to green. He truly wanted to kill someone. “Am I acquainted with you? Oh, to avoid killing an acquaintance… does that mean he thinks I’m also related by blood to him, and he wants to be my father too? It’s not just about being the father of a fragmented soul anymore?!”

The Corpse truly wanted to sweep across the world. Billions of divine light strands shot into the sky, shaking the heavens at that moment.

Chu Feng offered explanations, making various vague and rambling statements, employing far-fetched deceptions, which temporarily appeased the anger of the man and dog from outside the domain. They reluctantly agreed to save his life at a critical moment, but they were very unwilling!

Soon, Chu Feng also reconnected with Jiu Dao Yi, sensing the sadness of the sequence creature.

Chu Feng didn’t say much, only leaving a message that he might not return from this trip and asked Jiu Dao Yi to “take care” of things.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, cracking the firmament, then plunged into the Two-Worlds Battlefield, crashing onto the ground with a thunderous roar. A terrifying golden mushroom cloud rose, like the violent explosion of a technological weapon.

Chu Feng had arrived, bringing lightning, fire, and intense energy radiation as he rushed to the Two-Worlds Battlefield. He was terrified that Yao Yao might be in trouble, so he didn’t slow down at all, rushing frantically.

What kind of place was this? It was a battlefield where two realms clashed, where true immortals presided and ultimate beings were stationed. For him to smash through the ground and directly intrude like this, it was impossible not to attract attention.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Because it hadn’t been long since Chu Feng had left; on this very battlefield, he had subdued several Great Heavenly Venerates from the Fallen Immortal King Clan and slain Reincarnation Hunters before calmly departing.

He had originally fled, but now he was back in the blink of an eye?

One must know that the Path of Reincarnation had now appeared, with a vermilion coffin faintly visible deep within the reincarnation path, and powerful hunters, or even stronger beings, nearby. Did he still dare to come?

Furthermore, there were many who were hostile towards him in this place, such as the Yuan Clan, the Human King Mo Family, and others. The most terrifying, of course, was the Martial Lunatic!

“Chu Feng, you… why are you back?” Zhou Xi asked anxiously. Not long ago, her eyes had been filled with tears, worried that something had happened to Chu Feng, because his image had faded in her mind, and had even completely disappeared at one point.

Now, seeing him return safely, she was afraid again. What if his mortal enemies here tried to harm him?

Chu Feng secretly told her not to worry, that as long as he dared to appear, there would be no problem.

“Brother, are you tired of living?!” Old Gu’s face twitched. He felt Chu Feng was courting death.

Chu Feng responded simply, to prevent people from his own faction from reacting excessively, standing up for him, and thus incurring unnecessary danger.

Then, he saw the duel in mid-air. And there was… Yao Yao!

It truly was her. Years had passed, and besides becoming more powerful, her grace remained, her exquisite face unchanged; she was still that Yao Yao.

What shocked Chu Feng the most was that she was dueling the Martial Lunatic!

Back then, even he had to bow his head and call her “Immortal Sister.” Now she shone even brighter. It was no wonder she had the reputation as the most beautiful under the starry sky in ancient times.

Unfortunately, she had been hindered, having perished in ancient times.

Chu Feng’s emotions surged. He couldn't forget their last farewell, when Yao Yao, blood staining the corner of her mouth, used her last ounce of strength to send him and the stone jar out of the great abyss, while she herself fell eternally into darkness.

That meant her body and Dao had perished; she would be swallowed by darkness, never to return.

Back then, Chu Feng had been desperate and grief-stricken. Whenever he thought of the woman named Yao Yao, his heart would ache, and he would wish he could return to that moment.

After years apart, reuniting here, the woman in white, purer than snow, could actually fight the Martial Emperor. This astonished and surprised him greatly.

Of course, Chu Feng instantly understood that this was not an ultimate-level battle; the Martial Lunatic was not suppressing her with his full cultivation.

Even so, it was a miracle. One must know that the fierce individual known as the Martial Emperor had achieved his Dao in prehistoric times, having virtually no opponents across the Yang Realm. His insight and experience were beyond anyone’s imagination.

The battle in the sky was exceptionally fierce, a clash between Emperor Techniques and the Martial Emperor.

As Yao Yao’s robes fluttered, she was not delicate at all. On the contrary, though an ethereal woman, she was quite domineering in combat, daring to strike the Martial Lunatic with her bare hands.

Her pure white palms, which looked as lustrous as mutton-fat jade, unleashed energy like a mountain collapse and a tidal wave, shaking heaven and earth, cracking the firmament.

As she waved her bare hands, a thousand Great Dao Divine Lotuses bloomed, and ten thousand crystalline petals flew, carrying dazzling energy, whistling as they engulfed the Martial Lunatic.

The Martial Lunatic’s fist print directly smashed through the rain of petals. With a thunderous boom, the beams of light erupting between them tore through the void, almost shaking the entire star sea.

Amidst the immense energy and dazzling radiance, both figures shone brilliantly, their hair flying, as if bathed in lightning. They were engaging in powerful, wide-ranging strikes, constantly countering each other.

During this process, both had unleashed their ultimate moves.

“It’s actually positive and negative time sequences!” Even the Fallen True Immortal was moved, quite shocked. He saw that Yao Yao’s time runes actually contained positive and negative time sequences.

Indeed, as Yao Yao raised her bare hands, her right hand represented positive time sequence. In a flash, a great river of time surged forward irresistibly; everything in history would be swept into dust, completely erased.

And in her left hand, there was a stream of light flowing in the opposite direction, seeking to reverse time, unsettling heaven and earth, with time fragments flowing backward, densely packed and chaotically arranged.

This was truly terrifying. It was one thing for her to be skilled in time scriptures, but to also manifest positive and negative time sequences made the Martial Lunatic’s pupils contract; he was somewhat wary.

But this was also what he needed. To fully comprehend the forbidden chapter of the time-art scripture—the decaying scripture he had unearthed—he needed to observe the Emperor Technique that Yao Yao wielded, which contained an invincible profound truth.

The positive and negative time sequences simultaneously bombarded, making space-time unstable. Especially as they intersected, it was as if they sought to overturn the cosmos and reverse the ancient history of the Yang Realm.

Rumble!

Endless time particles boiled and erupted here, transforming into rivers and seas, becoming rolling magma, steaming upwards.

The Martial Lunatic roared, a cry of “severing eternities” that vibrated everyone’s ear bones. He pressed his hands together, and time became a blade, cleaving through the void, severing the vast heavens and earth, and striking towards Yao Yao.

This was also the energy of time, rampant and unleashed, erupting with an unparalleled aura.

“Boom!”

The area almost collapsed, the firmament shattered like porcelain falling to the ground. That was time tearing through all matter, seeking to obliterate all obstacles.

This was the duel between Yao Yao and the Martial Lunatic, an ethereal woman powerfully striking against the Martial Emperor.

Ultimately, the river of years surged, and time particles like a sea swept across the area. Everyone fled, carried away by true immortals and ultimate beings.

A few individuals, caught by the light waves at the edges, instantly aged by a hundred thousand years, their hair turning white and then falling out.

Even more bizarre, some adults reversed time, reverting to infants, babbling. It seemed comical, but upon reflection, it was terrifying.

These were the effects of the time energy unleashed by the two mighty cultivators!

Both retreated. A corner of Yao Yao’s sleeve fluttered down, exploding into light particles, clearly severed by the Martial Lunatic.

The Martial Lunatic’s bronze-colored skin glowed terrifyingly. A lock of his hair fell, turning to ash and dissipating into the world.

Everyone watching was dumbfounded, astonished by the woman. Could she truly contend with the Martial Emperor as an equal?!

Most terrifying was that their cultivation realms, insights, and experiences were all different. To be able to fight to this extent was truly heart-stopping. The woman truly possessed unparalleled talent and aptitude in the domain of combat.

Even beings of higher evolutionary stages would surely suffer a crushing defeat if they fought the Martial Emperor at the same realm.

Yao Yao and the Martial Lunatic temporarily ceased fighting. They both retreated and looked towards Chu Feng on the ground; the young man’s arrival had startled them as well.

In such a setting, Chu Feng, like a great star, streaked across the sky and crashed onto the ground at extreme speed. It was inevitable that he would become the center of attention, with many people watching him.

“It’s truly unavoidable. No matter where I go, I’m always the center, the focal point. What can one do?” Chu Feng spoke.

Just one sentence, and he had completely drawn the enmity of a crowd, making them want to eliminate him!

Yao Yao looked over. After many years, they had actually reunited here!
