The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1145: A Travelogue from the Past!
'At that time, did he feel like the whole world was a trap, sensing the inner thoughts of the former Heavenly Emperor Ye? The Demon Ancestor was a trap, his teachers were a trap, a bunch of dead people were a trap—trap everywhere, he felt trapped by the entire human world?'

Where is true affection? Where is love? Where is trust between people?

Longma thought to himself, "I'm furious."

Chu Feng, this young man, although he is a bit cunning and wicked... isn't it a bit too immoral to treat him like the Evil Ancestor?
No, even the Evil Ancestor wasn't this heartbroken, this pained, or this deeply affected back then.

After all, although Ye Fan was suffering back then, his parents were living a very comfortable life, so the misfortune did not extend to his family, and all the hardships were concentrated on Ye Fan.

But Chu Feng...

'Oh, he's an orphan, a bachelor, with few weaknesses to exploit. He's all set for himself…' Longma suddenly realized. 'Although a small village raised him, there's still a distance between them. At most, they can secretly protect the village's descendants, which is their duty…'

"Like a former empress, whose only close relative, her brother, died, and the village where she lived took care of her. Later, she attained enlightenment, but had no descendants or successors, so she passed on her Taoist teachings and scriptures to that village, and secretly protected a few of them to ensure their bloodline continued..."

'Impressive! If I forge another weapon for protection, I'll have more standing when I go out into the world…'

'But how can that be enough?'

'It's better to use up feelings that fade with time sooner rather than later, so that they can never repay or let go of them for the rest of their lives...'

This is a routine, but also a deep expression of affection!
Just like... a dead white moonlight.

That's truly unsolvable!
If the cause of death was indeed himself, having taken something of vital importance with him... otherwise, this tragedy would not have occurred...

Longma glanced at the Time Furnace again, and sighed inwardly.

—Black! It's fucking black!
The person who came up with this scheme is utterly depraved!
But it must be said that the effect is really good. Look at Chu Feng now, with hot tears and blood on his face, roaring and howling in grief and madness, filled with hatred but powerless.

Sorrow! Hatred! Madness!
There's no need to worry about his fighting spirit anymore; it must have exploded by now. He'll no longer have any awe or fear of the Heavenly Emperor or the Evil Ancestor.

Courage is the greatest hymn to life, enabling even ants to face the true dragon.

Hatred is acceptable too!
'This young man is incredibly shrewd, very clever, and full of mischief. Even I was outmaneuvered by him. Generally speaking, no trap can really work on him. He's not the kind of person who can be easily tempered or refined by hardship.'

'What can be done!'

This time, the Bitter Leaf Faction changed their tactics and started playing mind games…

'but……'

Longma's eyes were filled with suspicion. 'Investing such a huge sum in such a large-scale production clearly indicates confidence in its future. It's likely destined to become a being like Emperor Ye, defying the heavens and achieving ultimate transcendence...'

'He's acting like he's mentally broken right now. Isn't he afraid that after people transcend this, they'll come back with a cold laugh and block his door?'

'Offending Emperor Ye already takes a lot of courage... to offend some Emperor Chu as well? Do they really think their future isn't miserable enough?'

'With these two joining forces, can the Demon Ancestor still protect them?'

Ryoma was very skeptical.

Yes, the Demon Ancestor is powerful.

However, these two transcendent beings who have risen through countless hardships are probably not easy to deal with.
Longma pondered until it saw a person in that dog-themed drama, its pupils instantly contracted, and the whole horse trembled!
"Dead... all dead..."

One by one, villagers' blood splattered across the sky. No match for the peerless evil ancestor, they were slaughtered in a one-sided massacre.

This was only one of the evil ancestor's hands; his other hand was still suppressing the combination of Grandpa Jiang and the dilapidated ancient city.

Cover the sky with one hand!

In the final moment, an old man who was panting as he walked straightened up. His voice was not very loud, but it had an indescribable magic. It seemed that in that instant, heaven and earth were silent, and only he was alive and vibrant. His will was conveyed to the world.

Although he was very old and thin, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Yet, a tenacious spirit endures and is deeply moving.

The next moment, it was as if time was flowing backward on him. The wrinkles and spots on his face faded away, gradually becoming clear and his features became distinct. It was as if he was going against time, reversing the state of his life, and returning to his most glorious and beautiful moment.

“Village Chief…” Chu Feng murmured, tears welling up in his eyes. He could see that the old man who had once treated him so well, almost like a father to him, was also on his way to the end, burning his own life away.

He didn't notice how terribly Longma trembled when the "village chief" regained his youthful appearance!
What did it see?
It saw that the faces of Emperor Ye Tian, ​​Emperor Huang Tian, ​​and others had been subtly altered to resemble those of the past, with similar spirit and temperament!
However, later on, the two Heavenly Emperors each broke free from the influence of what could be called shackles or curses. Emperor Ye really died once, killed by a peerless Heavenly Venerable and forced to reincarnate on the spot; while Emperor Huang reached the pinnacle of his Transformation Freedom Technique, vaguely surpassing the limits of his predecessors in this field, and completely and perfectly "transformed" himself.

However, if we trace the origins of this face, its terrifying nature is such that no creature that knows its secrets can help but feel terrified, and it's hard not to feel a sense of awe and keep its distance.

That was... the master of the bronze coffin for three lifetimes!

Longma suddenly felt that he understood why those "villagers" dared to put on such a show, treating Chu Feng as the Evil Ancestor, and even going so far as to go to extremes.

Maybe someone made some promise, and all the cause and effect were applied to them, so that the extras could deliver solid performances without having to consider the feelings of the "victims," ​​and leave a deep and unforgettable impression to inspire and spur them to improve.

We can't be like that little flower, whose life was too smooth in the first half, lacking profound insights and failing to cultivate the determination to fight against darkness and evil, the unwavering resolve to go against the tide... As a result, when it came to the most crucial moment, we faltered.

This child's education needs to start from a young age!
The strategy of spoiling children has failed; it's time to raise them frugally!
At such a young age, he was subjected to a deeply painful experience. The incompetent young man couldn't protect anything and could only watch helplessly as his loved ones perished and his teachers died tragically...

As for the consequences, what will happen when this young man grows up and becomes detached, and then seeks to settle accounts?
Then... let him come!
Someone is waiting for him!
"Gudong."

Longma swallowed hard. Despite its immense strength, it was filled with fear at this moment, completely suppressing any thoughts of revealing the truth and pretending that it had never had such an idea.

'Chu Feng!'

'It's not that I don't want to help you, there's just no way I can help...'

'And there's Emperor Ye...'

'Although it seems you've been framed again, and taken the blame for something?'

"But I think if you found out afterwards, you'd probably be quite happy, wouldn't you?"

'After all, judging from the current plot, it seems likely that in the end, the Evil Ancestor will unleash his divine power and annihilate both the Demon Ancestor Jiang and the Copper Coffin Master in one battle…'

Longma speculated.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Fan could only dream of such a record.

Reality?

That's absolutely impossible!

Because he really did fight back. At the very beginning of this era, he fought a great battle with the owner of the Three Generations Bronze Coffin, and as a result, he was crippled and lay dead for many years!
However, this record is still quite good. It's far better than some crippled transcendent beings like the progenitors who performed the lame ritual. At least they're being taken seriously and won't be beaten like dogs on the street, easily kicked half to death. But... if they can continue to improve, even if it's just verbal or in terms of publicity, Longma believes that Emperor Ye Tian wouldn't refuse.

Punching the Demon Ancestor, kicking the bronze coffin... This is the Evil Ancestor's dream!
……

A refined-looking man, slightly ill-looking, was the village chief of an ordinary little mountain village.

After the villagers passed away one by one, how could he, the village chief, live on alone?
"The Evil Ancestor..."

The village chief, having burned his life to return to the pinnacle, spoke calmly, without anger or sorrow, simply stating a fact: "If you repeat the mistakes of those who came before you, you will not have a good end..."

"joke!"

Facing this refined-looking man, the Evil Ancestor coldly said, "Repeat the same mistakes? What mistakes are there?"

"Those who came before us failed simply because they weren't strong enough or ruthless enough!"

"You're wrong..." the refined man said softly, "Even if you rule over all the worlds, turning life and death upside down, and manipulating dreams and illusions into the palm of your hand..."

"But there is a light and power of sacrifice, constantly gathering and settling, until one day it boils over and overturns everything..."

"With lofty aspirations and sacrifices, we dare to change the world!"

He roared, causing the entire world to tremble, and tearing apart the darkness brought by the Evil Ancestor, leaving a ray of light!
"A new era?" The Evil Ancestor said indifferently, "Isn't this era a new era?"

"What has been changed again after all this?"

"Ultimately, we are all caught in the cycle of reincarnation, unable to escape the fate of cyclical changes!"

"Do not."

The Evil Ancestor laughed, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

"I will end this cycle of reincarnation and bury everything..."

Do you have any last words?

As he spoke, he exerted force with the palm that had been suppressing the ancient city, causing it to collapse. An old man roared – it was Grandpa Jiang. He seemed to be burning out, turning into the last flame, which dimmed and withered after reaching its peak!
But such an old man would never yield, even in death.

"Last words? Why would I need last words!"

"I am the emperor of humanity, and I will fight for this world to the death. I have no regrets even in death!"

"No need for a monument, no need for a grave, no need for a message!"

"Those who come after will eventually realize this and embark on the same journey as us; it goes without saying!"

"Everyone is me!"

Grandpa Jiang was the most fierce. In the last moment of his life, he sacrificed everything, burning his remaining body and the ruined ancient city together, bursting out with a final light, which actually... overturned the palm that suppressed everything and crashed into the place of the Evil Ancestor, causing a great destruction!

Amidst the horrific destruction, the Evil Ancestor groaned, as if caught off guard and injured for the first time since the start of the war!
same moment.

The refined village chief's eyes were deep and profound. "You want to end the cycle of reincarnation... I want to too..."

"Once, all worlds were reduced to ruins, burned to ashes in the ultimate flames, and a living being was reduced to ashes..."

"Those ashes caused chaos, turning the world upside down, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a scene of unparalleled carnage..."

"If one person's ashes are like this, what about the ashes of countless beings in the human world? It's unimaginable."

"However, although there is reincarnation in the world, it is ultimately... a spiral upward."

"This time, it's different; there's advance preparation and handling..."

"It's ashes, but it's no longer just ashes; there will be a... relic."

"If relics fall into the human world, will they take on a physical form?"

"After taking human form, can it... awaken?"

"Perhaps it needs to embark on a path, a path once trodden by countless heroes and sages of the past, a path walked by those Heavenly Emperors, a path that resonates and touches the heart..."

"One day, he suddenly looked back and saw endless splendor and brilliance behind him, illuminated by the most sacred light, and a perfect world was completed in the light..."

Rumble!
Deep within time and space, countless terrifying phenomena appeared at this moment, sweeping wildly, as if they were some earth-shattering secret, unknown to the world, involving a tremendous cause and effect!

If it weren't for the Time Furnace fixed here, that strange phenomenon would probably have become the most terrifying calamity. Even an Immortal Emperor would have died a violent death, a gruesome one!
Even the priest might not be able to escape unscathed, because the mysterious Time Furnace was trembling violently and its light was unstable!
Chu Feng tried his best, but it was useless; his strength was too weak!

The turbulent scene, the epic dog history as seen through Ryoma's eyes, is now coming to an end.

In the blurry image, the Evil Ancestor sneered, "A relic?"

"I have no fear of any worldly existence in this world, and I can sweep them all away with my own strength. Why would I fear the relics I leave behind after death?"

"ridiculous!"

He was so arrogant, looking down on the world!
"If you were on the path of evil before, you would naturally be fearless... But when you manipulate the world, reverse life and death, yin and yang, and confuse the past and present, this relic will be able to shake your Dao fruit and destroy your evil schemes!" the village chief shouted.

His last words sounded as if he were trying to win over the evil ancestor's mind, or as if he had foreseen that someone would witness all of this across time and space many years later, and deliberately left such a clue!

At that moment, Chu Feng heard it, and his soul trembled violently. He felt all his confusion and bewilderment vanish in an instant.

Why is he an orphan? Tracing his lineage only seems shrouded in mystery, with no way to begin.
Why did he choose the pollen path, a path abandoned by the current version, and insist on embarking on this evolutionary path that had long been obsolete?

Why would a small village harbor so many hidden talents, with so many Immortal Emperors and above gathering on this special star, and then adopting an orphan like him?
Why is there such a powerful artifact, a furnace, containing the ultimate flame, terrifying to the extreme?

in case……

Is he that relic?!

Once upon a time, those Immortal Emperors came to this star, the place where the last embers of all worlds in the mortal realm gathered. They used an extremely powerful divine furnace to forge these embers and condensed a relic.

Then, through some unknown means, they enlightened this relic and made it come into being!
Finally, a young man emerged, carrying a time furnace, and embarked on the Pollen Road, beginning his own journey to travel the paths once trodden by heroes of the past and to write a... travelogue of yesteryear!
