Chapter 1388: Reverse Chaos of Ancient and Modern Times

Before Chu Feng could speak, members of the Yuan Clan had already made their move, stepping forward to negotiate with the Xuanhuang Human King Clan.

“Zhou Zhengde has offended our Yuan Clan!”

This simple statement conveyed the Yuan Clan’s stance, concisely informing them that Zhou Zhengde was an entity hostile to their clan.

Though they didn't explicitly demand his arrest, the Yuan Clan's words and actions made their intent clear. Their less direct approach was mainly due to their apprehension of the otherworldly Xuanhuang Human King Clan.

From ancient times to the present, the Xuanhuang Human King Clan has been one of the few rulers of the vast human race, dominating humanity—the largest ethnic group in the world. Indeed, few under heaven dared to underestimate them!

Within the Xuanhuang Human King Clan, the young man with a full head of silver hair and a somewhat cold demeanor looked up. He spoke forcefully, with an unquestionable tone: “He is human. It is not for you to accuse him!”

This was a clear declaration of protection, not allowing the Yuan Clan to blame Chu Feng.

For a moment, Chu Feng looked surprised, not expecting the silver-haired young man to directly rebuff the Yuan Clan.

Earlier, this cold man had displayed an arrogant demeanor, which truly made it difficult for Chu Feng to feel any goodwill towards him. Yet now, he spoke this way.

The Yuan Clan even dared to plot against the lineage of Yu Shang Heavenly Venerable, which showed their immense audacity! Before its decline, the Yu Shang lineage had reached ultimate glory, and its origin was absolutely unfathomable.

Even when facing the otherworldly Human King Clan, the Yuan Clan, despite some apprehension, was not afraid.

“As a direct descendant of the Xuanhuang Human King Clan, perhaps in the future you might have the confidence to target our Yuan Clan this way. But you are a young man now, not yet the master of your clan. Do you truly wish to create a formidable enemy for the Xuanhuang Human King lineage?!”

A young Divine King from the Yuan Clan spoke, his tone aggressive. Standing on a golden-veined, silver-backed stone, he sternly and forcefully accused the silver-haired man.

Meanwhile, the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable from the Yuan Clan, who held the magnetic marrow, squinted his eyes and remained silent. However, his body emanated a dense and terrifying energy, as if he could strike at any moment.

The silver-haired man of the Xuanhuang Human King Clan grew even colder, saying: “Are you trying to intimidate me? He is human. As a king, I naturally protect him. This is an internal matter of the human race; how dare you interfere!”

Upon hearing these words, Chu Feng's perception changed. He felt that while this cold man seemed somewhat conceited, he wasn't too bad, as he could utter such words, offering protection to a fellow human.

Across from him, the young Divine King of the Yuan Clan sneered, “Human King? Heh heh!” Then, he made his move. Of course, he didn't attack the silver-haired man directly, but instead lunged at Chu Feng. This was a gesture, indicating that even the Xuanhuang Human King Clan could not stop the Yuan Clan.

The Quasi-Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly. The Yuan Clan even dared to act against the bloodline of a declining Heavenly Emperor. Although the Xuanhuang Human King Clan was very famous, claiming to possess world-opening otherworldly power, they could not intimidate the Yuan Clan!

In conjunction with the young king of his clan, his magnetic marrow bell glowed, intending to suppress Zhou Zhengde. Otherwise, their clan's descendants would be in danger.

At this moment, the silver-haired youth stepped forward, intercepting the Yuan Clan's Divine King. After a crashing collision, the Yuan Clan youth stumbled backward.

He was inwardly astonished; his opponent had definitely held back. He could feel the silver-haired youth's composure, who had so easily shaken him off, inflicting heavy damage.

He wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. When he looked again, he noticed that his own Quasi-Heavenly Venerable also had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, having encountered a formidable enemy. The magnetic marrow bell in his hand was being held back.

Within the Xuanhuang Human King Clan, an elder held his hands as if supporting the heavens, and a blurry tower body emerged. Xuanhuang energy steamed, causing the Yuan Clan's magnetic marrow bell to tremble, its ringing incessant.

“Fine, we'll spare that little dog’s life for now!” the Yuan Clan’s Quasi-Heavenly Venerable spoke, his eyes flashing with a chilling intensity as they opened and closed, repeatedly scrutinizing the blurry tower body.

Chu Feng’s killing intent flared. This old man, disregarding his status, spoke arrogantly, rudely, and domineeringly, daring to insult someone like that.

As a Great Divine King, he was fundamentally not afraid of a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. If not for the magnetic marrow in the opponent's hand, he truly would have wanted to kill him.

“Dog barking!” Chu Feng naturally wouldn't remain silent. His killing intent stirred, and he decided that he would look for an opportunity to go on a killing spree before entering the immortal furnace body.

“Ignorant junior!” the Yuan Clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable snapped, then ignored him, fixing his gaze on the Human King lineage.

He couldn't help but be serious; his heart was profoundly shaken at this moment because he recognized it as the Human King Clan’s legendary ultimate artifact—the Xuanhuang Pagoda!

This item was the Xuanhuang Human King Clan's clan-suppressing artifact, possessing supreme power. In the Yang Realm, it was considered an immeasurable ancient treasure, rumored to be capable of creating worlds!

However, he believed that it wasn't the ultimate artifact's true form that had arrived, but rather that someone had used a secret technique to summon only a portion of its power for a limited time.

The specific situation was likely that someone had carried a part of the Xuanhuang Pagoda’s rule patterns, imbued in a chaotic spiritual object, to this place!

“Very well, our two clans shall go our separate ways, and we will not interfere with each other’s business!” the elder of the Xuanhuang Human King Clan declared. The hazy tower body in his hands vanished, and the dense energy around him receded.

With a cold snort, the Yuan Clan’s Quasi-Heavenly Venerable led his people away, heading directly towards the immortal furnace body.

The ground was covered with many rocks, flames flickered, and some magma pools glowed a brilliant red. Many special plants, shimmering like metal, were rooted in this mountainous area.

“Let’s go!” the elder of the Xuanhuang lineage said, advancing forward.

At the same time, he glanced at Chu Feng, signaling him to follow and journey with the Human King lineage.

“Come along. You are a rare talent, and as a human, quite an uncommon elite. I permit you to join my Xuanhuang lineage,” the silver-haired young Divine King said. His words and demeanor still appeared somewhat cold; this was likely his inherent disposition, a matter of personality.

Chu Feng really wanted to say that he himself was a Human King, so why would he need to join the Xuanhuang lineage?

However, although the other party was conceited and spoke bluntly, he had, after all, just helped him resolve a "crisis." So, Chu Feng didn't want to directly retort.

He smiled, followed along, and said nothing.

Behind them, many beings, including some powerful otherworldly races, were watching the commotion. They were quite disappointed to find that the Yuan Clan and the Human King lineage hadn't fought.

At this point, all the powerful clans were preparing, bringing out their crucial secret treasures, intending to approach the immortal heavenly furnace.

The furnace body was merely a stone pit, entirely made of rock, yet it was a true place where heavenly embryos were conceived, a pit of creation that allowed beings to undergo nirvana.

Though it seemed close, the path had its oddities. Over a very short distance, when the mist spread, it felt as if an entire world lay between them.

However, in the end, it was an adventure without real danger. Chu Feng and his companions stood close to the immortal furnace body, having reached their destination. The only thing left was to enter the furnace.

However, no one acted rashly. No one dared to jump directly down, ultimately fearing being burned to death by the mysterious ancient fire contained within the supreme terrain.

Some clans had arrived one after another because, though this path looked terrifying, it wasn't fatal.

Suddenly, a burst of fire shot out from the underground inner furnace. A Divine King standing at the very forefront didn't even utter a sound before turning into a pile of ashes, body and soul annihilated.

No one had died on the way, but upon reaching this point, and peering into the immortal heavenly furnace, a Divine King met a tragic end!

Everyone recoiled, filled with awe. How could they enter the furnace now? The flames erupting from within had directly incinerated a Divine King. If they were to jump in actively, wouldn't that be suicide?

The scene fell silent; no one spoke.

A moment later, someone tested it by throwing in a weapon. As a result, a burst of silver-white light erupted—a terrifying blaze that rose like a mushroom cloud and then exploded there.

“Ah…”

The one who threw the weapon screamed, truly drawing fire onto himself. He instantly turned into a living torch, and then, in a flash, became a pile of ashes, dying a miserable death.

“This… who said this was a place of life-and-death nirvana? This is a death trap! Anyone who enters dies!” someone whispered, and then everyone retreated.

“You, examine this closely. This furnace should not be a cursed land,” the silver-haired youth of the Xuanhuang Human King Clan said at this moment, his gaze chillingly deep, signaling Chu Feng to investigate the heavenly furnace as quickly as possible.

Chu Feng ignored him. While his impression of this clan was currently decent, the cold-faced silver-haired man was truly unlikeable.

Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the distance. The universe seemed to turn chaotic, time rules poured forth, chaotic energy surged, and order was disrupted. The heavens and earth felt as if they were being inverted; everything was in disarray.

It was truly a reversal of the ancient and modern cosmos!

It was the commotion created by the people from the overseas Celestial Immortal Island. Their ancestral artifact had revived, stained with blood, trembling incessantly, causing the several figures emerging there to also tremble intensely.

Imperial sounds, the Myriad-Material Mother Qi Cauldron resonating…

Three figures—two men and the woman in white—were so real, reappearing in the world with supreme power, causing the heavens and earth there to invert. The scene was utterly terrifying and inconceivable.

On the blood-stained mountainous terrain, an ancient path clearly emerged, completely connecting to a certain place.

“I finally know! They went there, right up ahead, right there, I saw it… Are they returning now, coming back?!” Sheng Yuxian of the Celestial Immortal Clan cried out, her face drained of color, no longer reserved or ethereal like an immortal, but screaming there.

Along that path, fragments of time danced and inverted, reversing the ancient and modern cosmos, and three figures became increasingly real!
