The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1136 Ye Fan, this person, needs to be analyzed dialectically...

At this moment, even with the Time Furnace suppressing it, Longma was trembling with rage, his seven orifices emitting smoke.

With interest?

Is it possible to get both principal and interest like this?
These interest rates are skyrocketing!
"You can't do this..." Longma sobbed, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Chu Feng, when suddenly he seemed to realize something.

"You... a cultivator from Pollen Road?!"

"Such greed and cunning, robbing and persecuting others, walking the path of evil...aren't you afraid that your future will be cut off?"

Longma shouted loudly, accompanied by a wave of enlightenment that seemed to awaken a sudden understanding, attempting to bring the lost prodigal son back to the right path.

What it said wasn't without merit.

Although the manifestation of one's mind and nature may not be obvious on the path of spiritual practice, it is indeed present throughout the entire practice.

Especially when practicing the evolutionary path pioneered by others, those cultivators who can resonate with the mindset of the creator are more likely to achieve great success.

For example, the Secret Realm Method, a method created by the Desolate Heaven Emperor, requires later practitioners to cultivate a "self-reliant" mindset. Confidence and stubbornness are indispensable... After all, if one does not have confidence in oneself, how can one one day reach the pinnacle, seek to prove one's own path, and make oneself stand alongside the true great realm?

Take the Golden Elixir Method, for example. It was created by a peerless evil ancestor who went through countless life-and-death experiences and comprehended the Dao. If later practitioners do not have similar experiences and understand the mental transformation of falling into desperate situations and then surviving them, they are destined to find it difficult to achieve great success.

The same applies to pollen roads.

It embodies the founder's philosophy, and only by following this philosophy can we achieve twice the result with half the effort and go further.

but……

Standing here is Chu Feng!

He intentionally or unintentionally walked a path that no cultivator of the pollen path in history had ever trod before, a path different from the "orthodox" one. No one could define his future!
Although it's about paving roads, it's more like creating laws!
"Fellow Daoist Longma, you are mistaken!" Chu Feng's hands moved without pause, one hand holding a hidden universe within his sleeve, swallowing up Longma's accumulated wealth over countless years, while he said with a smile, "Wealth passes through the hands, but faith sits in the heart!"

He said in a serious tone, "Perhaps in Fellow Daoist Longma's eyes, this is robbery, moral depravity, and a loss of integrity..."

"But that's not actually the case!"

"To put it simply, I'm doing this to accumulate merit for Fellow Daoist Longma, donating the ill-gotten gains you obtained through deception and fraud to those in need, so that they can shine in a greater cause."

"On a grander scale, all of humanity is facing a catastrophe and has reached its most critical moment. We need to unite all human and material resources to deal with it... In the face of such a great cause, my personal honor and disgrace are no longer important!"

"Sacrifice the individual for the greater good!"

"I am willing to bear the infamy, just to save the world!"

At this moment, Chu Feng's expression was sacred, as if a light shone on him, making him appear so noble and otherworldly!
Longma was taken aback at first, and then its expression was indescribable, as if it had eaten a thousand or ten thousand dead flies.

See you a long time!
How did such a bizarre flower grow on the path of pollen?!

If it were Ye himself back then, after enduring numerous hardships, he had awakened to this mindset...

Bitter leaves?

Ah!
Who knows who will suffer more!
It glanced sideways at the Time Furnace pressing down on it, its emotions a complex mix.

They chose such an abstract and bizarre flower... just how crazy must this era be?!
Ryoma thought about the people he had met before, and for some reason felt that... it made some sense.

Evil people need to be punished by evil people!
"call!"

It let out a long breath and said through gritted teeth, "Young man, I've lost this time. I guess I'm just unlucky, but you're really something!"

"But...next time?!"

"You'll get both principal and interest, huh? It's only right, isn't it? You'll get what's coming to you!"

It made a strong statement.

"Oh ho! Threatening me?" Chu Feng chuckled, speaking with amusement, "By now, Fellow Daoist Longma's information must have already spread among the peak cultivators, right?"

"I wonder how many people are looking for you, fellow Daoist, wanting to ask you some heartfelt questions?"

"you say……"

"If you were to be auctioned on a platform within the Main God Space... you would surely fetch an astronomical price, wouldn't you?"

Chu Feng stroked his chin, looking very longing.

He resorted to the "auction" tactic, threatening them fiercely!
"Heh!" Longma was no pushover either, and sneered, "Indeed, many people are eyeing me... but if I really am that miserable, you won't get away with it either!"

I think I understand your situation!

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the source of the previous epic battle that disrupted the world—a key, a seed!"

Believe me, there are far more people interested in you than in me!

Longma counterattacks.

Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained indifferent. "Making baseless accusations without any evidence. If you're not afraid of losing your life, then come on!"

"I think those who reach the top have their own sense of justice and wouldn't be so irrational!"

"Hmph! Evidence?!" Longma chuckled. "You'd better not take this furnace out for the rest of your life if you're so capable, otherwise you'll never have a peaceful day if anyone else sees it!"

"Three thousand!"

It uttered a number, then sneered and said nothing more.

"Three thousand...three thousand what?" Chu Feng frowned, feeling that the situation was getting out of control.

Old Man Longma clearly knew something; he hated dealing with people like that.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he began to consider whether he should resort to drastic measures.

It's a case of coercing a confession through torture!
Nine kinds!

He was confident he had nine ways to pry its mouth open!
However, after a brief moment of thought, he smiled and flicked his hand, shaking out a bit of "interest" from his sleeve and returning it to its rightful owner. "We can talk things over!"

"I'm a man of principle, and I'm willing to pay for information. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Longma?"

"..." Longma looked like he'd just swallowed a dead child—"You took my money to buy my information?"
but……

A good horse doesn't suffer immediate losses, and eventually it spoke.

"Three thousand Immortal Emperors!"

Its tone was mocking and mischievous, "At least three thousand Immortal Emperors will be looking at you!"

"How about it?"

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's lips twitched. "Fellow Daoist Longma, you're not being honest!"

"In this era, although Immortal Emperors have appeared one after another, and the light of their ultimate path has illuminated the past and present, even a few hundred would be remarkable, let alone three thousand!"

“Because that’s not the Celestial Emperor of this era!” Longma said quietly. “For the beings of this era, they belong to what is called… prehistoric times!”

"At the end of prehistory, which was also the most glorious and prosperous time, three thousand immortal emperors stood side by side in all the worlds, a feat that shook the ages!"

"Above the Immortal Emperor are the Dao Lords, the Overlords, the Ancestors, and the Heavenly Emperors... Together they destroyed that era and ultimately ushered in this new one!"

"And this furnace... plays a very special role in it, truly attracting everyone's attention!"

Longma glanced at Chu Feng, "If you take it, won't you become the target of everyone's ire?!"

Chu Feng was completely moved.

After a slight pause, he shook out some more "interest," including principal and interest, and said, "Tell me in detail! Tell me in detail!"

Longma remained silent, glancing at him sideways—was he trying to fob him off like a beggar?
"hiss!"

Chu Feng took a long breath, thought for a moment, and then took out a stolen inner armor and draped it over the dragon horse.

Longma's eye twitched violently, and at the same moment, it felt the furnace on its back become even heavier... This is a combination of kindness and severity!
"Pollen is an invincible path, why bother learning from others' methods..."

After weighing his options, Ryoma began to speak again.

"In the prehistoric end times, Pollen Road was once extremely brilliant, and the achievements of the vast majority of the three thousand Immortal Emperors were inseparable from it..."

"However, the Pollen Path also has its enemies, namely the eerie and ominous... If pollen embodies the beauty of humanity, then the eerie and ominous represent the most terrifying malice of all worlds!"

"The two fought, entangled, and clashed for countless years..."

"It sounds like a cliché story of good triumphing over evil," Chu Feng commented.

"Evil cannot prevail over good?" Longma sneered. "Wrong. Back then, the Dao Ancestor of Huafen Road was beaten so badly that he had to cover his head with his hands and didn't know how to fight back!"

"Huh?" Chu Feng was stunned.

He only knew that the pollen path in this era seemed to be not very good. In the universal cultivation system ranking, it once couldn't even squeeze into the top ten, just like a dog on the side of the road.

But unexpectedly, in prehistoric times, pollen road was a complete disaster!
"Good and evil share the same origin, yet they differ in distance," Longma murmured. "They originate from a supreme being, far surpassing even the Immortal Emperor, by more than one level. His favored blessing upon the beautiful realms of humanity created the Dao Ancestor of the Flower Powder Path..."

"However, after his death, his ashes, which were scattered in a strange manner, directly transformed into calamities in all human worlds, becoming the source of eeriness and misfortune!"

"Therefore, it is understandable that the pollen could not overcome the strange and ominous signs."

"Is this... a case of corpse calamity?" Chu Feng pondered.

"Perhaps." Longma didn't want to elaborate. "The strange and ominous atmosphere swept through, creating the progenitors and establishing overlords, all of whom were beings above the Immortal Emperors. In their pursuit of higher realms, they did not hesitate to create mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Furthermore, an altar rose and fell, offering a grand sacrifice to the human world!"

"An altar?!" Chu Feng caught the key word.

“That’s right… Sacrifices require an altar, is there a problem with that?” Longma said, then added, “Amidst the bloodshed, the Dao Ancestor of the Pollen Road rose up and took on a responsibility, even though the results were almost nonexistent, his courage was commendable.”

"After her, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, and the various Dao Lords took over. Together, they raised countless pollen particles, elevating this path, uniting countless geniuses and talents, enabling it to reach the level of Immortal Emperor, and launching the ultimate reckoning!"

Longma was chanting scriptures, specifically the "history" written and recorded by a "dog historian."

"During this reckoning, a furnace once shone brightly, being activated by numerous Immortal Emperors!"

"On that day, it burned with the supreme flames of the Great Dao, igniting all primordial energy, laws, the Great Dao, time... and so on, transforming them into dazzling flames that illuminated the past, present, and future!"

Ryoma's voice was filled with amazement and awe, as if he had witnessed the great event that marked the end of prehistory.

The flames consumed everything, destroying all things, tangible and intangible, not only the annals of time and the foundations of existence, but also the blood and tears, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood... all turned into fuel for revenge, to make the sun and moon shine anew!
Chu Feng was lost in thought. In the outline of the dragon horse, he was in a daze and traveled to prehistoric times, to an unparalleled black curtain, a dark hand that covered the sky, and flames that burned away all the light...

A single furnace captured the most magnificent moment.

And today, this stove is by his side, could it be... destiny?

Let him end the chaos and calamity of this era?
"Where is Emperor Ye?"

Suddenly, Chu Feng spoke up, "What role did this peerless Heavenly Emperor, who ushered in the era of the main gods, play back then?"

Upon hearing this, Longma's eyes flickered, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

There is so much to say about Emperor Ye.

However, these are things that are not easy to discuss with those who come after.

After all, Emperor Ye is different now!

In the past, if someone called Ye Fan "Evil Ancestor" twice, Ye Fan wouldn't bother arguing with them, nor could he, since he was busy struggling in the hands of the Demon Ancestor.

Now!
They even dug up his dark history, including his experiences of persecution... Do they want to die?

Ye Fan himself may have forgotten the hardships he endured, yet someone keeps bringing them up, and even does so with a proud air... Tsk!

"Emperor Ye... This emperor needs to be viewed dialectically; he cannot be described in just a sentence or two."

Longma carefully considered his words, "In his youth, he possessed great wisdom, perseverance, and courage. In battles against strange and ominous forces, he repeatedly teetered on the brink of death, using this experience to study the essence of the enemy's power and, in turn, to restrain and counter it."

—As for why I was hovering between life and death, don't ask!

"Whether they were progenitors or overlords, they were once suppressed by him to the point of being unable to breathe, and were slaughtered until they were completely routed..."

"But later, something unexpected happened to him."

"Perhaps it was because he studied the enemy's power too deeply and understood it too thoroughly, even surpassing its main controller... Thus, he unintentionally embarked on an evil path, more bizarre than the bizarre, more ominous than the ominous, and thus committed some... wrong things."

Longma stammered, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

"The more we unravel the mystery and the more we understand it, the deeper we delve... Ultimately, the source of this mystery and misfortune corrupts Emperor Ye, drawing him into the ranks of darkness."

"But at the crucial moment, Emperor Ye, with immense willpower, resisted the erosion and assimilation, burying himself in eternal silence to prevent the strange and ominous from succeeding..."

"Until the final battle in prehistoric times!"

"He has reappeared, emerging from eternal silence into reality, cleansing himself of defilement and evil in the supreme flames, restoring order to the source..."

Longma explained in detail that adaptation is not random fabrication, and fiction is not nonsense.

"I see..." Chu Feng nodded. "Is that so?"

“But…” he said, his gaze deep as he considered what he had seen and known, “has this Heavenly Emperor… truly shed his evil side…?”
