Chapter 1581: The World’s Turmoil Arises from Our Generation

Jiudao Yi was so furious he wanted to cut him down. "You brash young upstart, how dare you boast about flattening the world? That's an enormous claim! I, an old man, am here discreetly making human skins – what on earth are you thinking?!"

Through the pristine white conch, Chu Feng patted his chest, making loud thudding sounds, adopting an "I've got this, don't worry" posture, full of confidence and arrogance.

Jiudao Yi, suspicious, sensed Chu Feng's confidence. Even through the conch, he could feel the young man's soaring arrogance, which surprised him. "Can you really do it?" he asked.

Hearing such doubt, Chu Feng immediately bristled. He puffed out his chest, held his head high, and shouted into the crystalline conch, making Jiudao Yi's ears buzz.

"As a True Emperor Seed, how could I not? I, Chu Ultimate, always make good on my promises!"

"Furthermore, the current situation is terrible. All the old monsters are merely clinging to life, afraid to make any big moves. I, on the one hand, am full of drive and vigor, ready to engulf the world and sweep through all directions. You old-timers should be deeply moved by this; how can you doubt me? You should be offering strong support instead!"

Chu Feng rambled on, sounding like he was lecturing.

Even through the conch, Jiudao Yi felt as though saliva was about to spray onto his face. Was he really being lectured by a mere youth?

Chu Feng exclaimed, "An old warhorse in the stable still longs to gallop a thousand li; a valiant warrior, though aged, still harbors lofty ambitions! Though I am old, my blood still boils, and I possess the ambition to sweep across the world!"

Jiudao Yi felt the urge to strike him again. "You little whelp from a later generation, calling yourself 'old' – who exactly are you trying to mock?"

Jiudao Yi gritted his teeth. "Fine, go then. But if you meet a terrible end, don't sing laments on the path of reincarnation, and don't come asking me to guide you!"

Divine light gleamed in Chu Feng's eyes. "Even if I die," he declared, "I won't beg for life in that false reincarnation. Is there even true reincarnation in this world?"

"Alright, I'm curious to see what methods you possess. Just don't take a massive tumble and end up losing yourself entirely!"

Chu Feng decisively ended the call, putting away the gleaming white conch.

In the Yang Realm, creatures emerging from the Path of Reincarnation were already on the move, intending to hunt Chu Feng. Undercurrents were stirring; a storm was about to break!

The news had already spread. Not long ago, a hunter escaped and used special methods to inform their companions of what had transpired, triggering a large-scale mobilization of reincarnation hunters.

Moreover, the exceptionally powerful 'foragers' – beings hailed as prodigies from various eras – were also taking action, aiming to kill Chu Feng.

Soon, even the top Daoist traditions and some super-factions in the Yang Realm received the news and were deeply astonished. Chu Feng possessed such immense courage, not only forcibly killing creatures from the Path of Reincarnation but now proactively launching an attack again?

"He's truly not one to stay put. He only disappeared for a few days, and we assumed he would hide for a long time before reappearing. Unexpectedly, he's already back to his old ways."

"The younger generation is formidable. He's challenging reincarnation itself! Doesn't he fear being unable to reincarnate after death? He's burning his own bridges."

Some renowned elders commented this way, lamenting their own age and admitting that they had long lost such ferocity.

The Yang Realm is vast, with boundless territories. Some regions possess divine-demon evolutionary civilizations, while others have developed technological civilizations, featuring spacecraft traversing the skies and interconnected light networks.

The news quickly spread, disseminating to various regions, and many areas became aware of the situation.

In some major regions, it even sparked heated discussions on the light network.

"Extra, extra! The great Devil Chu, who vanished just days ago, has reappeared! He's going to single-handedly disrupt the Path of Reincarnation – truly worthy of being called a demon king-level monster!"

Clearly, Chu Feng wielded considerable influence in the Yang Realm, as he had caused so much upheaval in recent years that news of him resonated everywhere.

His every action garnered particular attention from the younger generation.

This was primarily due to their similar age, and his ability to accomplish what others could not. As a youth, he had forcefully killed Celestial Venerable Taiwu, provoked the Martial Emperor lineage, and repeatedly assaulted the Yuan Clan, the Human King Mo Family, and others.

It was a miracle that such an "unbridled" monster hadn't perished. He frequently stirred up turmoil throughout the world, completely unparalleled by other evolvers in his age group.

Indeed, even by examining recent ancient history or gazing back into the primeval era, few such individuals could be found.

Now, his declaration to confront and slaughter the creatures from the Path of Reincarnation was truly stunning, leaving a group of young people wide-eyed and then incredibly exhilarated and agitated.

"Our generation now has someone who can contend with the old monsters! It's astonishing, truly shocking!"

"Exactly! Normally, the great figures emerging today can, at the latest, be traced back to the prodigious beings of the recent ancient past. But this Chu Feng is actually our contemporary, from the same era!"

"The world's tides are shaped by our generation; a new era has arrived!"

Chu Feng hadn't even uttered a word or expressed any sentiments, yet young people everywhere were already losing their composure. Intense discussions erupted in both technological and divine-demon civilization zones.

While the outside world was abuzz, Chu Feng leisurely set off, waiting for his opponents... to converge and besiege him!

When passing a massive ancient city in a region of divine-demon civilization, Chu Feng did not bypass it. Instead, he entered the city that very day and purchased an exquisitely crafted phoenix-wood zither.

The city was filled with murmurs. Many evolvers watched from a distance, wondering what kind of tempest this individual would stir up today. He even had the leisure to buy a zither.

Chu Feng soon departed. He had already sensed that he was being trailed, and although the beings behind him were extremely powerful, super experts, he still detected a peculiar energy signature.

Since he intended to fight and unleash a massacre, he naturally wouldn't do so in human habitations. Instead, he chose to venture into the vast wilderness.

The Yang Realm is immeasurably vast, with no shortage of uninhabited territories. Desolate mountains and wild lands stretch endlessly, and magnificent great lakes are as boundless as mighty oceans.

Chu Feng stood in the wilderness, found an open clearing, and stopped. He increasingly sensed something amiss behind him; a strange energy was approaching.

Gray mist rose and then dissipated, as a man, silent as a ghost, approached, emanating an ominous aura.

Additionally, an ancient beast, resembling a ferocious 'ghoul-hound', approached. Its entire body was covered in thick, long fur, and the potent bestial breath it exhaled was like black flames, an extremely high-grade ominous energy. The creature was truly terrifying.

The hunters from the Path of Reincarnation had not yet arrived, but the strange beings were already here!

Chu Feng sat on a large bluestone, calm and composed, seemingly unperturbed. It was not his first encounter with strange monsters.

Back then, he had been tormented to the brink of death by the gray mist. He eventually crossed the Luminous Dead City with his physical body, using the stone millstones within the dead city to refine himself. He then leveraged the silent, unmoving mud figure seated on the Path of Reincarnation to eradicate the last vestiges of gray matter, finally breaking free.

It was precisely due to this experience that he later became immune to ominous energy, no longer harboring any fear.

"I thought an old friend had arrived in person. I didn't expect it to be new ominous entities instead of Little Gray."

Chu Feng stared at the man in the gray mist, who would dissipate one moment only to reform into human shape the next. The ominous gray energy surged like great waves, unsettling all who witnessed it.

From another direction, the ferocious beast, covered in dense fur, trampled fallen leaves, its eyes glinting with malice, as it drew closer. It was clearly abnormal; the strange energy it radiated far exceeded that of a true divine beast.

A faint blood mist dispersed from its body, surprisingly a black blood mist that coiled around the ferocious beast like dark flames, making it appear even more terrifying than a chaotic demon god.

"Another type of strange monster: gray mist and black blood. I've encountered the former and heard tales of the latter, which once brought chaos to an entire epoch. However, you don't possess the power to shatter an epoch; you are merely descendants, or perhaps even mixed breeds."

Chu Feng regarded them calmly, completely fearless.

In fact, the outside world had already erupted. Some evolvers, having followed from a distance, had reached this vast wilderness and witnessed the unfolding events.

When these individuals disseminated photographs of the two strange creatures, some renowned elders immediately recognized them as descendants of terrifying primordial sources, extraordinarily frightening and bizarre monsters.

"The Black Blood era spanned multiple epochs, incredibly brutal. It wasn't until 'that individual' emerged from the vast wilderness, rising amidst chaos, that the bloodshed and turmoil were finally quelled. Only he possessed the power to decisively suppress all foes during the most arduous and trying times for the myriad races. And while this ghoul-hound is certainly not purely corrupted by the Black Blood, it has undoubtedly been tainted by its aura and has now come forth to wreak havoc!"

"The creature born from the gray mist, this person appears terrifyingly powerful. What's most alarming is that his aura must not be touched, or a great calamity will ensue, leading to immediate downfall!"

"Everyone is now saying that the strange creatures have set the precedent, defining this era as the Gray Epoch, which has officially commenced. In the current conflict, the man in the gray mist is likely the primary force between him and the ghoul-hound."

Outside, there was no peace. People were still speculating and waiting to see how the great battle on the Path of Reincarnation would unfold, never expecting the strange beings to arrive first!

"Oh, I'm so nervous! How did Brother Chu Feng return, and he's directly encountering ominous monsters? Can he handle them?"

Within the Semi-Immortal Race, the formerly silver-haired little loli, now the beautiful, waist-length-haired maiden Ying Xiaoxiao, had a delicate face etched with worry and extreme nervousness.

Ying Wudi grimaced, wanting to say, "You've never shown this much concern for me, your own brother!"

Ying Xiaoxiao flicked her silver-white long hair, turning abruptly. "Brother," she said, "why are you so useless? If you were strong enough, you could go help Brother Chu Feng! You're such a disappointment, especially considering you were once one of the ten strongest of the younger generation in the minor netherworld."

Ying Wudi's face instantly darkened. He desperately wanted to say, "Can I swear? How is this my fault? Not everyone is like that lunatic Chu. How many people in this age group can roam freely across the Yang Realm? You wouldn't find many even if you scoured all of ancient history!"

At this moment, all his old acquaintances who heard the news were worried for Chu Feng, believing that his return this time was far too dangerous. How could he alone contend against the accumulated elites and geniuses from all generations of the Path of Reincarnation?

Now, with even strange creatures wanting to intervene, he was truly in a grave crisis.

Whether it was Zhou Xi, Old Gu, the Big Black Ox, or East Tiger, all were extremely agitated, but they couldn't rush there immediately; it was already too late.

"Heh, heh, how amusing! Who does this Devil Chu think he is? Does he truly believe he's worthy, daring to face enemies from all ten directions alone? Does he genuinely imagine himself a young Heavenly Emperor!?"

Someone posted grating, sarcastic laughter on the light network. Not all evolvers were on Chu Feng's side; at the very least, the Yuan Clan was his sworn enemy.

The Human King Mo Family, needless to say, harbored immense hostility towards both him and Long Dayu.

Furthermore, there were collaborators. At the epoch's transition, some super races had anticipated the end of the current era and had already prepared their escape routes. They had established prior contact with extraterrestrial and strange beings, developing certain inclinations and preparing to take sides.

"Strange beings bring instant death upon contact. The man and ghoul-hound who have just emerged must be powerful enforcers. Devil Chu is doomed!"

Both the Yuan Clan and the collaborators, among others, were gloating with schadenfreude.

They did not believe Chu Feng could single-handedly contend against the myriad geniuses from the Path of Reincarnation. Now, with the added variable of the strange source, the situation was undoubtedly far more severe, and he was clearly destined for misfortune.

Amidst the desolate mountains, the man shrouded in gray mist stood utterly still and silent, his eyes like those of a dead fish. He was observing Chu Feng.

Chu Feng remained very composed, letting him observe.

Finally, the man in the gray mist spoke. "Someone in my clan first selected you as a host," he said, "and later desired to take you as a battle servant. Will you comply with this decree?"

Chu Feng knew exactly who he was referring to: the gray mist that had nearly tormented him to death in his early years, which had now taken human form.

"Are you referring to Little Gray? I already crushed one of her avatars."

As he spoke, Chu Feng's voice turned cold, and his eyes shot forth incredibly intimidating beams of light. "A battle servant? You demand I obey a decree? How dare you even conceive such a notion!?"

With a boom, he immediately launched his attack. There was nothing more to say; first, he would eliminate the strange beings, and then he would deal with the group of genius monsters on the Path of Reincarnation.
