A vortex was as black as ink. It was unknown how it was formed, but behind it, there seemed to be a giant beast from before the primal chaos was split open. It opened its huge mouth and was somewhat terrifying.
Chu Feng had come up, and his soul light was about to return. He wasn't being blasted back by someone, but leaving on his own.
Recently, he was almost unable to control himself. He was constantly being pulled by an indescribable spatial power that wanted to expel him out of the Land of the Fallen.
Now, it was time to leave.
He rushed into the pitch-black vortex with the little Vermillion Bird.
"Chirp chirp!" The furry little fellow wailed sorrowfully. His large eyes were clear and tearful as he looked at his mother and a few siblings below. He wept unceasingly and sobbed sorrowfully.
He could be considered to have left his home and entered an unfamiliar world. If nothing unexpected happened, he might never be able to see his mother again.
It was his mother who personally sent him away just to give him a way out and let him live a better life instead of staying in this hopeless world and finally being corroded by the gray matter.
"Don't be sad. When you and I are strong enough in the future, we can come back to this world and visit your mother," advised Chu Feng.
In reality, he also knew that the little Vermillion Bird couldn't see his mother again. This should be an eternal farewell. One day in the Yin Realm universe might be a hundred years here!
The entire Land of the Fallen was refined by the Yang Realm's almighty into a treasure of time. The flow of time was too strange and terrifying.
Even if the little Vermillion Bird really came back one day, this world would probably be transformed into mulberry fields. Those that once existed would all perish, and the so-called strongest deity would have long turned into dust. Everything would decay.
At that time, even the old Vermillion Bird's grave might collapse and return to ordinary land, no longer existing.
If he really returned, there would only be sadness and bawling in the end. He wouldn't find anything.
"Child, you must stay strong and live on!" The old Vermillion Bird's voice transmitted over.
"Chirp chirp, I … am very sad. I will miss you forever!" The little Vermillion Bird let out a weak voice. After that, he disappeared with Chu Feng and entered the depths of the vortex.
"Good child, go!" The yellow fox also opened its mouth. It sighed and waved its claws.
The Soul Bell shone and protected the little Vermillion Bird. It hid within the bell, and Chu Feng was also beneath it. He was truly afraid that his own memories would no longer exist and that he would forget everything.
The black vortex was deep and serene as it revolved slowly. It made one feel dizzy as an indescribable energy surged over to erode one's soul light!
"He really came!" Chu Feng's hair stood on end. He couldn't accept the fact that his memories had been severed. He wanted to go back in one piece.
After that, an indescribable mist drifted over. It looked gentle, but when it came into contact with the Soul Bell in the end, it erupted with a tremendous force and heavily smashed against the wall of the bell.
Dang!
The sound shook the heavens and caused the Soul Bell to tremble violently. The walls of the bell shone and buzzed. For a moment, patterns actually appeared on the walls of the bell; they were all complex cloud patterns.
This left Chu Feng astonished. He was well aware that this was a seed and not a true metal artifact. How could there be patterns on it?
One could imagine how terrifying the energy bombardment the Soul Bell was suffering now. It was originally going to erode Chu Feng's soul light, but in the end, it was blocked by the walls of the bell. The mist became firm and tyrannical as it fiercely attacked him!
Bang!
The body of the bell shone and was densely covered in cloud patterns. Upon closer inspection, they should all be natural. It was just a seed, so it was impossible for it to have been carved. They were all naturally formed profound patterns.
"There's some skill. It looks like order?!" Chu Feng was astonished. It was just a seed, yet there were actually rules and order patterns concealed within.
Dang!
The Soul Bell shook again, making Chu Feng and the little Vermillion Bird feel as though they were about to explode as they were attacked by an indescribable energy.
"You won't stop until you kill me. What kind of ghost skill is this? Could it be that there are living creatures controlling it?!" Chu Feng was astonished.
A layer of pure white immortal mist twined around the outside of the bell. It looked sacred and auspicious, but it was actually terrifying. It could obliterate everything, erase one's memories, and extinguish one's soul light.
"What right do you have to deprive me of my memories? What in the world is this?!" Even though Chu Feng was in his spiritual soul light state, he still felt a layer of goosebumps. He felt as though there was a pair of eyes behind this snow-white mist.
"Chirp chirp!" The furry little Vermillion Bird cried out softly. Its entire body was fiery red as it timidly hid behind Chu Feng. After leaving its mother and its original world, it was filled with unease and its heart was weak.
The snow-white mist rushed over from the bottom of the Soul Bell. It wanted to approach Chu Feng and wouldn't stop until it obliterated his memories.
Chi Chi!
The incantation and energy left behind by the yellow-furred fox took effect now. It emitted yellow clouds that pervaded the air to obstruct this strange and mysterious mist.
However, even with the yellow-furred fox's strength, the trump card it left behind actually couldn't block it, and the mist spread upwards.
This was somewhat terrifying and extremely terrifying. One had to know that the yellow-furred fox called itself a deity. Even though it was crippled, it naturally had the confidence to use this kind of wonderful technique. Yet, it still couldn't block the mist.
Clang!
In the end, Chu Feng fiercely hammered the Soul Bell, shaking out strand after strand of bell waves to obstruct the white mist. He actually successfully resisted it and then pushed it out.
Bang!
The Soul Bell shook violently. That white mist was unwilling to give up and was still attacking. It transformed into an extremely heavy force as it smashed over.
However, the entire Soul Bell was sealed and rippled as it resisted the white mist so that it couldn't be corroded.
The whirlpool was like the eye of the sea as it sucked in this world. Chu Feng and the others went deep inside. Their surroundings were pitch-black and they couldn't see anything.
Clang!
There was a violent tremor as a lump of white mist fiercely attacked over again. There seemed to be a green eye within that was staring intently at the interior of the Soul Bell. It didn't let them off and insisted on severing their memories.
Chu Feng saw clearly that there really was something in the white mist. It was a bloody eyeball that was incomparably terrifying. It was very sluggish and didn't seem like it had a mind of its own, but it was strictly carrying out some kind of order.
Chu Feng immediately felt like he was going to suffocate. He felt a wave of gloomy coldness from his soul light and his hair stood on end. It could actually discover this kind of truth.
For a moment, he felt a chill from head to toe because he inadvertently discovered that this so-called passageway could possibly be arranged by a certain powerhouse. It was a contingency plan that was left behind.
According to what he knew, this path had existed for at least tens of millions of years or more.
Some existences could easily arrange for several million years. Just how long ago was this matter? What did he want to do?
All of a sudden, he thought of the yellow-furred fox's master who had once wanted to refine the Land of the Fallen and turn the entire world into a time treasure. Was this his handiwork?
Chu Feng didn't feel like it. According to what the desert fox said, it shouldn't have been that long ago.
There were other powerhouses who left behind a backdoor here. So much so that it was something that was even further back in time that couldn't be verified? What were they plotting?
After that, Chu Feng realized that the strange substance — the gray mist — made the entire world sick and headed toward destruction. Could it be related to the backdoor here?
"But according to what the yellow-furred fox said, it's extremely difficult for even the powerhouses of the Yang Realm to cross the Primal Chaos Realm Wall and come to the Yin-Realm Universe. They won't consume their own precious blood essence unless they're at the juncture of life and death. They can't even wait to preserve their own lifespan. What's going on here?"
"Boom!"
The wall of the bell violently shook. The azure eyeball in the white mist was dripping blood and was extremely sluggish. It directly attacked the Soul Bell with the intention of breaking through the energy ripples and tunneling in from the bottom.
"Not good!" shouted Chu Feng.
The fist-sized little vermillion bird was shivering even more. It hid on Chu Feng's shoulder and softly cried. Uneasiness was written all over its large golden eyes and it was extremely afraid.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Chu Feng said in a low voice. Since he promised the old vermillion bird to protect its child and even took its divine medicine, he couldn't let this little fellow suffer any harm no matter what was said.
Chu Feng hid it behind his back and stood in front of him to block that azure eye.
That eye was originally extremely huge and even more terrifying than a mountain. It was like a planet, but as it approached the bell, it rapidly shrank and tore apart the ripples. Dripping blood, it completely entered the bell.
In the end, it turned into the size of a face and the blood that flowed out was mixed with black blood!
"Boundless Deity, Amitabha, I can't block it anymore!" Chu Feng was scared. At most, his memories would be erased, but what about the little vermillion bird's physical body?!
It was impossible for him to watch the little vermillion bird suffer a calamity!
Buzz!
The sluggish eyeball trembled and emitted a weak light as it slashed at Chu Feng. As expected, some of his memories were about to be stripped and obliterated in an instant.
How could Chu Feng be willing to accept this? He did his best to resist and poured out some of his negative emotions and useless memories from the past hundred years to block the eyeball with all his might.
This was very useful as it blocked its path!
At the same time, the wall of the bell shone and the Soul Bell surged. Waves of ripples appeared and weakened the light of the eyeball. The threat it posed to Chu Feng wasn't as intense.
"This won't do. If this goes on, I might not be able to return to Dameng Pure Land smoothly. The little vermillion bird might encounter danger!"
Chu Feng's heart sank. He discovered that he couldn't afford to gamble. At worst, his memories would be obliterated, but the little vermillion bird might pay the price with its life and blood.
He decisively drove the Soul Bell and struggled with all his might. He went against the path he came from and charged toward the land of the Fallen. This was incomparably difficult because the entire world was pushing him away. The vortex that was like the eye of the sea was also revolving and sucking him in.
Chu Feng exhausted his energy and was truly going all out. He was afraid that the little vermillion bird would die tragically because that would be too unfair to others. He wanted to kill his way back.
In the end, the bell rang and the soul array trembled. Even the bell itself dimmed and no longer emitted black light. Chu Feng's soul light also dimmed and he was in a daze. He charged out of the vortex and fell from the sky.
"Ah, how can this be?!" The yellow fox was shocked.
"Child!" The old vermillion bird's heart trembled even more as he rushed high into the sky. Not only did he catch the little vermillion bird, but he also protected Chu Feng and brought them back.
The little vermillion bird was fine. He was safe and sound and wasn't injured in the slightest under Chu Feng's protection. On the contrary, he himself was extremely weak and almost exhausted his soul light. Going against the path he came from was too difficult and he almost died of exhaustion.
However, with the old vermillion bird and the yellow fox here, as long as he still had a wisp of life fluctuation, there clearly wouldn't be any big problems.
Even so, Chu Feng still recuperated for three days and three nights, and this was because he had swallowed a drop of divine medicinal liquid. One could well imagine how serious his injuries were. His soul light was about to collapse and he almost dried up and died!
"Senior, I'm sorry. I've let you down!" Chu Feng explained the situation and said that he didn't dare to take the little vermillion bird away in the end.
"Thank you for caring about it so much and protecting it back." The old vermillion bird was very grateful. Chu Feng risked his life to come back like this. This showed that he was very responsible.
"I'll take a few vermillion bird feathers and a few drops of vermillion bird blood with me to experiment and see if these can be preserved after returning to my world," said Chu Feng. "If there aren't any problems, I'll come back again. In any case, there's still the path of Mount Eternal that I can take!"
He really didn't want anything to happen to the little vermillion bird. That was why he was so cautious and careful.
"Alright. Thank you, child!" The old vermillion bird nodded to express his agreement. He really didn't want his child to get hurt accidentally.
In the end, Chu Feng set off alone. There was something unusual this time and it was out of the ordinary.
After he entered the depths of the black vortex, that green eye rapidly shrunk from the size of a star to the size of a washbasin. It charged straight into the Soul Bell to obliterate his memory.
Moreover, Chu Feng could clearly see that there were many threads connected to the entire blood-dripping eyeball. That was the power of order.
"Could this be formed by laws?"
If it was someone else, their vision would've turned black a long time ago. However, Chu Feng used the Soul Bell to resist it. During this process, he was also releasing his own memory, leaving it for the eyeball to obliterate.
For example, the useless experiences of these hundred years, some trivial matters, and various kinds of negative emotions were all thrown out by him to be obliterated by the green light.
For a moment, Chu Feng discovered that this was very advantageous to him. His entire body became light and agile. His soul light gradually became as clear as crystal. It was no longer mottled and disorderly.
Although he didn't care about it before, he did indeed feel a trace of lethargy in his body. After all, he had lived in this world for a hundred years. It was impossible to say that his mentality wasn't old at all.
But now, he was using this opportunity to cleanse and temper himself. He took the initiative to cut off all the useless memories, and his soul light became pure and flawless.
"No wonder the ancient times described powerful cultivators as having the heart of a pure child. There's indeed a reason for this. I think they're also taking the initiative to cut off their lethargy and wash away all the useless memories. They're cutting off their burdens at any time to preserve the purity in their hearts."
Chu Feng came to a sudden realization. For a moment, he understood some of the essence of evolution.
With the help of the Soul Bell, he successfully withstood the green eyeball's beam of light. Regardless of whether it was the experience of becoming a domain grandmaster or the grudges and emotions he had with those people, none of them had melted away and were preserved.
"Eh? What's that?!" His memories were preserved and he selectively discarded some. Chu Feng's spirit was roused. He opened his Fiery Eyes and suddenly saw a certain terrifying truth.
The whirlpool rotated, but it actually had cracks. Perhaps it could be said that this so-called black whirlpool was formed from many black cracks, and there was only one passage in the middle.
There was a terrifying world behind that crack in the whirlpool. It was a vast universe that was dusky and filled with mist. It was lifeless and cold to the point of making people tremble.
Was that a strange substance, the gray fog? Was that the source?
Chu Feng was shocked!
After that, his Fiery Eyes were unleashed to the extreme. He saw the world in the whirlpool through the black cracks. It was like a dead universe. It was too quiet.
"No, there are living beings. There are things!"
Chu Feng saw giants with eyes larger than planets. They were walking slowly with stone axes in their hands. They were opening up a path in front of them and bombarding the primal chaos!
Moreover, it wasn't just one giant. It was a group, a stretch. To be exact, they might be gods!
Their bodies were too huge. The fingers of the smallest gods were bigger than planets. If it wasn't for the Fiery Eyes and the power of order, Chu Feng wouldn't have been able to see their entire bodies clearly.
They had shackles on their bodies and were prisoners. They were either holding giant axes or iron swords as they opened up the primal chaos and excavated something.
In this lifeless universe, many corpses of such giant gods fell along the way. They were all dead and motionless.
Those that were still moving had lifeless eyes and were covered in blood. They had clearly lost their minds and were moving mechanically.
The gray fog churned and the strange substance was dense. They were opening up the primal chaos, and corpses fell along the way.
Chu Feng's heart trembled and he was incomparably shaken. He didn't know what was going on, but he had a feeling that he had seen the most terrifying truth of the universe. This seemed to be extremely important in the future and involved a taboo. Unfortunately, he didn't understand the situation at the moment.
He really wanted to go back and ask the yellow fox for guidance. Perhaps this self-proclaimed Celestial Venerable fox would be frightened.
However, he didn't have the opportunity or the strength to reverse it.
In the world within the crack, a golden sun exploded in the sky. It was actually a golden crow. Blood splattered everywhere as it fell from the gray fog.
"Hurry up, continue digging!" Suddenly, in the cold universe, in the world of rolling gray fog, someone berated all the gods and devils that were as tall as the heavens.
Chu Feng's pupils constricted. He saw an equally tall figure wearing ancient and tattered armor. He carried a standard long blade on his back, and the scabbard was rotten.
This is …
Chu Feng's heart trembled. This figure was somewhat familiar. He was actually carrying a standard weapon — the Reincarnation Blade. Even the armor on his body was similar to the withered, lifeless, and retarded guardians of the Reincarnation Road that Chu Feng had seen on the Reincarnation Road.
However, the person here clearly still had consciousness. He was actually as tall as the heavens and was like a god or devil.
From the side, one could see that the person's eye sockets were sunken and his flesh was shriveled. He lacked spirituality and his eyes were somewhat lifeless.
"What's going on?!" Chu Feng shouted in his heart. Was this also related to the people behind the Reincarnation Road?
At the same time, he had heard Lady Xi mention that the Reincarnation Blade was very terrifying and related to the Yang-Realm.
"What are those powerhouses trying to do? Just how strong are the so-called powerhouses of the Yang-Realm?!" Chu Feng's heart throbbed.
Swoosh!
