Chapter 1556: I Come From Heaven

"Perhaps I'm just deluded," Jiudaoyi sighed. "Some of these are merely my conjectures, and I don't even know if they're true."

Chu Feng stood rooted to the spot, motionless for a long time. What did his reincarnated parents, the Yellow Ox, and Dong Dahu truly mean?

And he himself, having traversed the Path of Reincarnation, was he not himself anymore? No, he had not died. He had used the stone pot to bore through reincarnation, his true body having secretly crossed over.

He had not died!

Yet, his heart remained heavy.

Would there come a day when he, too, like that one, would desire his loved ones to truly return?

However, he couldn't deny the Ouyang Feng before him, or deny Dong Dahu, whom he had seen long ago.

"This world is simply too bizarre, even too strange and terrifying," said the Dog Emperor from beyond the domain. "Look, the blood on our faces—mine, yours, his—is appearing alternately. Is this a reflection, transformation, and intersection of ancient history and the present?" His voice was muffled with confusion, and even he was getting a bit unnerved.

On the Path of Reincarnation, the Corpse, carrying the Emperor's Body, had indeed dispelled illusions, allowing people to glimpse a corner of the truth and awakening Jiudao to realize everything that had just happened.

As the Heavenly Emperor tested his methods, the Emperor's Body emitted hazy runes within the golden light, revealing a mere tip of the iceberg of the world's truth.

"So, some people are destined to die, and some to live," the dark shadow, suspected to be a fallen Immortal King, spoke from the gloom. "Will there be scapegoats?"

Silence fell over the scene. Many people felt as though they could barely breathe.

Today, they had truly touched upon a forbidden domain!

Suddenly, someone broke the silence.

"How dull," a voice sneered. "The world evolves, eras change, but how long will it take for your so-called 'Great Unification'? We are still waiting!"

At this moment, black blood rain poured down onto the Two Realms Battlefield, eerie and horrifying, engulfing a section of the void. It was ominous, uncanny, and it had descended directly.

Furthermore, gray mists surged, accompanied by an inexplicable tremor, even more terrifying. The ominous aura was thick to the extreme.

The uncanny entities from the Sacrificial Ground had once said that this era was the "Gray Era," and beings from the gray mist were destined to dominate this age.

No one had expected that the uncanny and the ominous would arrive directly, uttering such chilling words.

"A divine decree from the heavens prophesied that the only ray of hope lay in the Great Unification of all heavens. How long will you all drag your feet?!" Suddenly, opposing celestial mists surged.

Other beings descended, appearing in another part of the void.

That place was very serene, not dark or chilling, and the newcomers were suspected to be from the faction of the three Emperor Weapons.

From this side, a supreme being had once issued a decree, commanding the mortal realm and all heavens to achieve Great Unification, as only then would there be a path to survival.

However, now that people from this faction had arrived, they appeared quite displeased and somewhat arrogant.

Within the gray mist, someone set their gaze on Chu Feng, because he had captured a gray creature, which was originally a woman's avatar, and was now confined by Chu Feng's side, its form solidified into a small dog.

Chu Feng felt a bad premonition. The other party had definitely sensed the "gray dog" on him. Rather than being hated and forced to hand it over, with a *bang*, he acted decisively, crushing it to death in his sleeve!

Beyond the domain, a gray-haired woman grunted, knowing her avatar had died!

However, she had not come to the Two Realms Battlefield. The uncanny and ominous beings who had descended were all "seniors," all ultimate-level uncanny entities.

Before the Two Realms Battlefield, whether within the black blood rain or the gray mist, the ultimate entities of the uncanny faction were utterly cold, and naturally sensed what had happened.

"Although we shouldn't interfere, the chief sacrificer has allowed the heavenly Emperor's decree to descend, ordering you all to achieve Great Unification and giving you an opportunity," a voice boomed from the gray mist. "However, you dare to kill one of our kind right before us. This is utterly presumptuous! Heaven and Earth will not tolerate your survival!"

Within the gray mist, an uncanny wave surged, spreading forward. Boundless gray mist rolled, striking directly at Chu Feng!

Jiudao waved his sleeve, cutting off the void. He said, "Who is being presumptuous?!"

He blocked the sea-like gray mist. He could not stand by and watch Chu Feng suffer. As he had said earlier, this was a registered disciple of the First Mountain, and no old monster from another race would be allowed to harm him.

*Boom!*

The gray mist exploded, directly dispersing. An uncanny aura pervaded the air, sending shivers down the spines of countless people present, who felt a dread from the deepest parts of their hearts. These were indeed the terrifying and ominous creatures from the Sacrificial Ground!

"We gave you an opportunity, we gave you time," a being in the gray mist spoke coldly. "Now, you dare to provoke us, seeking early annihilation?"

It seemed to be a True Immortal level being, composed of dense mist, at times dispersing, at times gathering. The substance was very potent, exceedingly malevolent, and quite intimidating.

Even Jiudao felt some trepidation, not fearing the creature itself, but worrying about upsetting the balance and the chief sacrificer behind it launching an attack prematurely.

"What a hassle," a voice from the white celestial mist interjected. "Since he's an eyesore, just kill him. Hurry and achieve the Great Unification!" At this moment, even the living being within the white celestial mist spoke.

This person was from the faction of the three Emperor Weapons, and now that they had appeared, they actually said such a thing, wishing for Chu Feng's death.

Not long ago, a divine decree had descended from the heavens, seemingly protecting the mortal realm and all heavens. But now, people from that very faction had arrived, acting extremely conceited, and for the sake of the so-called Great Unification, they didn't care if some people died.

Furthermore, this faction did not seem to be mortal enemies with the Sacrificial Ground side, and might not be entirely opposed to them.

What exactly were they plotting?

Why were they even urging for the Great Unification?

*Bang!*

Within the celestial mist, that person actually made a move. They were truly ruthless. Was the so-called protection truly so fragile? They actually intended to eliminate Chu Feng first.

*Rumble!*

Jiudao fiercely waved his sleeve, and the heavens and earth shattered. The celestial light that had surged forward was extinguished. That person's attack naturally failed.

Clearly, Jiudao's cultivation level was higher than his, and he did not fear this person. However, he was concerned about that supreme being. If that being reappeared, who could stop them now?

"You should think carefully," the person in the white mist said, their voice extremely cold. "For the sake of a mere youth, you are going against us. You must understand who is currently protecting the mortal realm and all heavens!"

His cultivation level was naturally lower than Jiudao's, yet he dared to be so forceful. Everyone knew what he relied on!

"Do you think that with an Emperor behind you, you can truly act without restraint?" the Corpse spoke from within the reincarnation path. "Do you understand who I carry on my back?!" He carried the Emperor's Body.

Jiudao stepped forward and declared, "I don't care if your actions are protection, pity, mere rearing, or disdain. This current stance, I will not accept. I have said before, Chu Feng is a registered disciple of the First Mountain. True Immortals, do not lay your claws on him!"

His voice was not loud, but it was utterly domineering, as he coldly confronted both the Sacrificial Ground and the faction behind the three Emperor Weapons.

"Heh heh..." From the gray mist, an uncanny being laughed, ominously and chillingly.

"You had better think this through, lest you harm yourself!" Within the pristine celestial mist, sacred energy fluctuated, but the voice emanating from it grew even colder.

At this moment, before the Two Realms Battlefield, the evolutionaries of various races, their leaders, and the ultimate old monsters all felt their bodies turn icy cold. Were they about to descend into a desperate situation?!

The beings from the ominous and uncanny factions had arrived, consistently bearing ill will. And now, even those from the faction behind the three Emperor Weapons had appeared, showing such an attitude.

If Jiudao and the others refused to yield and prevented Chu Feng's death, would they be abandoned? Would the faction of the three Emperor Weapons cease protecting the mortal realm, no longer care about all heavens, and let the grand era perish?!

Suddenly, everyone felt as though they had fallen into a chilling hell, a bone-piercing coldness.

With a howl, the Dog Emperor erupted, roaring from beyond the domain: "Damn it, this is too much! Whose world is this? This is the former residence of the Three Heavenly Emperors. How dare you little whelps act so presumptuously? Who are you threatening?!"

Jiudao gestured to the black dog beyond the domain, then took a step forward himself, and said, "Who are *you* threatening?!"

"Fellow Daoist, calm down!"

On the Two Realms Battlefield, some people, gripped by fear, quickly tried to dissuade them. If things continued this way, it would be utterly catastrophic. The mortal realm and all heavens might swiftly fall!

Jiudao said coldly, "Are they trying to make us merely cling to life with such an attitude?"

"I'll say it again, you had better think this through!" The person in the pristine white celestial mist spoke, growing increasingly indifferent and ruthless.

Chu Feng sighed, stepped forward directly, and muttered to himself, "Jar, and whatever other inexplicable things are on me, awaken! I want to smash the Heavens with my bare fist!"

He felt helpless and suffocated. He had been inexplicably targeted, and now found himself in this predicament. He could only break his promise and summon the Jar Heavenly Emperor and other mysterious things on him to awaken.

"I think, I hope, this is the last time I'm threatened!" Chu Feng said in a deep voice, as if speaking to himself.

Yao Yao decisively walked alongside him, moving forward.

Zhou Xi and Old Gu also followed suit. Even the shameless Ouyang Feng hesitated slightly, his small face pale as a sheet, but ultimately, trembling, he too walked forward.

Jiudao roared, "Step back! With me here, it's not your turn, you juniors, to fight to the death! They are going too far! Who do they think they are? Is this a compassionate protection, or an arrogant disdain, an imperious command? Have they forgotten where this is? Whose homeland it is? Whose backyard?!"

With a thunderous roar, blinding light flashed across the heavens and earth. A battle spear appeared in his hand. He stood on the Path of Reincarnation, pointing forward, targeting both the ominous Sacrificial Ground and the person in the celestial mist.

In a sense, the person in the celestial mist made Jiudao feel even worse. The so-called protection—was it charity, or was it laced with full malice? It was truly unacceptable.

"Heh heh..." From within the black blood rain and the gray mist, came the cold laughter of the terrifying beings from the Sacrificial Ground.

And from the pristine white celestial mist, that person also spoke coolly and indifferently, saying, "I come from the Heavens. Do you know what that represents? Today, you are truly too presumptuous!"

The Corpse, carrying the Emperor's Body, said chillingly, "The Three Heavenly Emperors were my old friends. That one, should be my elder brother. And you dare to speak presumptuously here?!"

"Scram!" Jiudao roared again, his battle spear glowing. Amidst its rust, dazzling rays of light burst forth. This was not just aimed at the person in the vast mist before him.

He was releasing a mysterious aura. This was the spear left by *that* one!

"They have all long since vanished, long gone, perhaps even long dead. What could there possibly be left?!" The person in the celestial mist responded coldly, unfazed.

At this moment, the rust on Jiudao's battle spear flaked off, turning into a rain of light. It stirred up a terrifying storm within the golden ripples on the Path of Reincarnation.

At this very moment, in a special area within a certain Path of Reincarnation, the eyelids of the mud doll rustled. More dust was stirred up, all falling into the abyss before it, stirring up terrifying golden ripples.

Simultaneously, before the Two Realms Battlefield, within the Path of Reincarnation, golden ripples shimmered, and the energy fluctuations grew increasingly terrifying.

Neither the beings in the black blood rain and gray mist, nor the person in the celestial mist, displayed anything but cold indifference. They did not believe Jiudao would dare to attack proactively.

"What a pity," the person in the celestial mist said chillingly. "You do not know what is good for you. All heavens will fall because of this, and the mortal realm will also be extinguished in the near future."

The next moment, he was horrified, gripped by immense fear. He felt as though his soul was being swallowed by a black hole, or engulfed by a towering inferno of light. A sharp pain pierced his eyes, and his entire body trembled, convulsing uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he felt an irresistible urge to prostrate himself! What was that? A prehistoric behemoth, a sovereign from countless eras past?!

"I come from the Heavens!" he roared, struggling, not wanting to kneel.

Moreover, this roar served as both a reminder and a threat.

At the same time, from within the black blood rain and the gray mist, the uncanny beings also roared and struggled, yet they too found themselves unable to resist kneeling.

"Don't you even look at where this is? This is the former residence of the Three Heavenly Emperors!" the Dog Emperor roared from beyond the domain.

"This is where *that* one manifested reincarnation, it's his backyard," Jiudao said indifferently. "And you all dare to be so presumptuous here!"

At this moment, everyone saw it: Within the golden ripples, faint specks of dust floated up, scattering widely, landing within the celestial mist, and amidst the black blood rain and gray mist.

They appeared to be ordinary dust motes, but in an instant, they crushed and dispersed the beings from both factions!
