Chapter 989: The Strongest Person in History

The geniuses of the Yang Realm were silent. If those images were real, they would represent a terror beyond the wildest human imagination.

Then, the withered yellow letter reappeared, floating and sinking through time, before finally falling downwards.

"Everyone, I, Ye Hao, keep my word! I've finally brought you out. You've passed the trial; go!" Chu Feng shouted at the hundreds of evolutionaries, pointing towards the exit of the secret realm.

Then, he looked at the dilapidated city, staring at the letter, and said, "How strange. I always feel like I've seen this before, as if it's another cycle of reincarnation."

The geniuses of the Yang Realm sneered. How many people in this world were qualified to speak of reincarnation? Even in the Yang Realm, it required powerful figures to act to retrieve something from forbidden lands. The talismans retrieved were not for others; they were mostly for the most favored offspring of powerful figures, or for the powerful figures themselves to use for reincarnation.

Fei Ling and Hong Xuan both smiled reservedly, their bodies glowing faintly, enveloped by divine halos, as if sons of Celestials had descended upon the world.

Chu Feng saw their demeanor. He immediately squinted and said, "How much do you know about reincarnation? Has anyone in your family experienced it?" He adopted a disdainful posture, intending to provoke them, but also due to his own confidence. After all, he had obtained talismans before, and more than just one.

"More than you know!" someone retorted, unable to tolerate him. The person's demeanor was arrogant, full of self-importance, like a scholar looking down on barbarians from an uncultivated land.

"More? Heh heh!" Chu Feng calmly said, "Then tell me, do you understand the true meaning of reincarnation?"

"If we don't understand, you're even further behind. In this world, the most powerful people are all in a personal cycle of reincarnation. Have you heard of such a thing?"

Chu Feng was surprised. Was there such a thing? He didn't quite believe it and sneered, "Don't bring out such trivial gossip as if it's a treasure." As expected, the information was unreliable. The person opened their mouth but couldn't continue speaking.

"What's personal reincarnation compared to that? The entire world might be in a cycle of reincarnation! Who can comprehend such a scale and grandeur!" Hong Xuan spoke.

Chu Feng's expression became serious. He felt that the research in the Yang Realm was indeed terrifying and astonishing. A casual remark from the other party had made his heart tremble. Could the entire world truly be in a cycle of reincarnation?

He sighed softly and said, "Look, am I not in reincarnation? Don't I resemble the most powerful person in history?"

"What thick skin!" This was the consensus among the Yang Realm geniuses. They all rolled their eyes, bothered to ignore him.

Chu Feng continued, "I always feel like someone is calling me from the depths of the unknown. Is it my past life, or my future life? I need to go and see!"

Everyone thought he was joking and paid him no mind. But Chu Feng turned and left immediately, truly rushing towards the city, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Where are you going!" someone shouted. The Yang Realm geniuses pursued him together. Even Fei Ling and Hong Xuan did not hesitate at all. Their oath was fulfilled; it was time to deal with this native.

Beneath the wooden city, the vanished Chu Feng reappeared in a hidden place, flicked out a drop of blood, and instantly reconstructed a replica of himself, identical to him, controlling it with a wisp of soul light. Then, his true body turned and left, leaving behind the physical body created from a drop of blood. His true body caught up with the people ahead and secretly acted, severing certain old memories related to him from some people's soul lights, such as the memory of him summoning certain old acquaintances. He believed that even if God-level evolutionaries investigated these people's soul lights, they wouldn't discover anything.

Even if a Celestial acted in the end, they might find some clues, but it might not necessarily be a bad thing, because these old acquaintances, after successfully passing the trial, would certainly not choose the inheritances of people like Tai Wu, Hun Yi, or Yuan Shi. Some had also come from the evolutionary sect founded by Tai Wu's sworn enemy, which was their best choice. If these old acquaintances entered the Yang Realm, and eventually, that person discovered some traces on them, they might even receive some preferential treatment, after all, everyone now knew that he possessed a supreme treasure. If they had even a slight thought about the stone box, and protected his old acquaintances, then if he were to appear one day, it might be considered a pre-arranged connection. Of course, he hoped that even the Celestials hadn't noticed that these people's memories had been partially severed.

In the distance, Chu Feng's drop of blood, transformed into a puppet, shouted loudly, wanting to uncover the greatest secret of ancient and modern times, to seize that letter, and to thoroughly understand what had happened in that most brilliant grand era at the crossroads. In fact, everyone knew the importance of that letter. A single sword strike severing all ages and cutting through karma—what immense power was that? If it was truly a paper meticulously sent out from the most crucial node in the history of evolution, it must contain a secret that would drive even the mighty figures of the Yang Realm insane! That sword strike that severed all ages, and the page it sent out, captivated everyone's attention.

"Don't actually let him get it!" Someone couldn't sit still and chased after him. However, in the end, Chu Feng's physical body exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood and then into ashes, shattering into pieces while still far from the wooden city.

"I understand! Only by perishing myself, by dying once, can I enter here! I'm coming!" Such a shout surprisingly echoed, extremely bizarre. In fact, this was merely a wisp of soul light that Chu Feng had split off, shouting it before escaping, and then swiftly returning to his true body.

Fei Ling, Hong Xuan, and the others frowned, thinking this Ye Hao had died a bit foolishly, just like that. But they admitted that they were also somewhat unwilling, their eyes burning with desire to obtain that letter, wishing they could break through the barriers themselves.

"This guy's body disintegrated, and he actually shouted those words. What did he mean?"

"Only a fool would believe him. Even on the verge of death, he still wants to dig a pit for us!"

"Not necessarily. We should report this later."

The area ahead was too dangerous, shrouded in mist, with dense time fragments. It was terrifying. The Yang Realm geniuses stared ahead, their expressions serious. Their backgrounds were significant, so they naturally sensed the terror of the place. Perhaps only Celestials or even mighty figures could see through it? For a moment, they all shivered with fear, watching the gradually disappearing letter, believing that perhaps an ultimate evolutionary form had indeed appeared, and that it was a letter left by a being of that level. The so-called most powerful person in history, the one who severed space-time and karma, might be considered.

"Let's go!"

Ultimately, everyone left, exiting the secret realm.

The outside world was in an uproar. Many evolutionaries in the dilapidated universe beat their chests and stamped their feet, full of regret. Had that group of people truly succeeded in passing the trial? Some regretted it to death. Not long ago, Ye Hao had invited everyone to embark on the journey together and challenge the trial, but they had refused. Many had even privately ridiculed him and spoken disparagingly, believing it was utterly impossible to succeed. And now...

"I regret it!" Someone shouted, feeling as if they wanted to vomit blood.

Hundreds of people successfully passed the trial, drawing astonishment from some people in the Yang Realm.

Chu Feng watched from a distance, having changed his appearance. Not long ago, he could have easily killed Hong Xuan, Fei Ling, and others, but to ensure that Yuan Mo, Zi Luan, and the others would not encounter any accidents, he held back. If he wanted to kill Hong Xuan, Fei Ling, and the others, he could do so at any time. For now, it was more important to ensure Zi Luan and the others' safe journey without conflict or mishaps.

Several days later, Zi Luan, Yuan Mo, and some others successfully became disciples of Tai Wu Celestial's rival, and were protected, ready to enter the Yang Realm at any time. In fact, some orthodox lineages had always been very interested in people like them. These few individuals had some connection to Chu Feng, and perhaps one day, this would draw Chu Feng to their doorstep.

"Now I'm completely unburdened. I can go all out next!" Chu Feng no longer had any worries. As for Ying Zhexian, the silver-haired loli, Yuan Shicheng, and others, he believed that the envoys from the two races in the Yang Realm would not allow them to have accidents and would definitely take them away. There was no need for him to intervene. The Exiled Immortal Cave and the Primordial Demon Palace in the dilapidated universe, among others, were now very closely connected with the Yang Realm! Chu Feng bided his time, waiting for an opportunity. He himself also wanted to enter the Yang Realm!

However, before that, he still wanted to eliminate the last batch of gods. There had been no news for a long time from the gods who went to the Underworld. Half a month later, the final batch of gods set off, led by a quasi-God King whose evolutionary level was similar to Chu Feng's. There were a total of seven gods! This time, Chu Feng quietly followed, growing increasingly confident, even though there was a quasi-God King in that team!

After venturing deep into the chaotic sea, Chu Feng made his move. First, he quietly peeled off the Celestial Edict from the ship's bow and put it into his stone box, then he forcefully unleashed a devastating attack! God-level evolutionaries were no match for him at all; he slaughtered two of them in the blink of an eye. As for the Illuminators, there was even less to say; they turned to ashes with just a slight touch. However, that quasi-God King was indeed very powerful. They fought with Chu Feng, tearing apart the chaos and causing the large ship to disintegrate. The battle was extremely fierce.

In the end, Chu Feng stood indifferently amidst the shattered remains of the Yang Realm ship, his right hand holding a dripping divine sword, his left hand holding the stone box. The quasi-God King lay dead, slain by him. Divine particles and Dao Ancestor matter continuously streamed into his body. Chu Feng's heart grew heavy. This quasi-God King was at the same level as him, both in the peak domain of God Generals. Yet, it took over a hundred moves for their battle to conclude. This made him realize the seriousness of the situation. In the past, when facing evolutionaries at his own level, he had always swept through them, crushing all foes! But now, a quasi-God King from the Yang Realm, whether considered a prodigy or not, had actually fought him for so long.

"If this person was just an ordinary quasi-God King," Chu Feng sighed, "that means if I enter the Yang Realm, the pressure I'll face in the future will truly be unimaginable." He resolved to walk the strongest path, otherwise, he truly wouldn't be able to rise in the Yang Realm. He would be suppressed by geniuses from all sides, having no advantage at his own level.

Chu Feng returned to the dilapidated universe, preparing to sneak into the Yang Realm!

*Author's Note:* I felt like I almost died. I caught the norovirus. My child brought it home from kindergarten, and she quickly bounced back and was fine, but I was miserable, with a splitting headache, vomiting, and various other issues. I truly felt like I was going to die. The most crucial thing is that there's no effective medicine for this virus; you just have to tough it out. I'm finally feeling a bit better now. My apologies for not keeping up with updates, and not even managing to post a leave notice, because I was really battered by it and couldn't attend to anything. I hope tomorrow will be better. Today, I forced myself to write a small chapter first, fearing that a simple leave notice would disappoint everyone.
