Chapter 1533: Its All Over

The next moment.

Yi Feng vanished from the small town and reappeared high above in the dark sky.

In an instant.

Everyone saw another figure. He seemed to take a few leisurely steps in the air, yet with each step, he covered vast distances, closing in on the Crimson Moon Supreme in just a few strides.

The people of Shadow Island, witnessing this, were overcome with excitement.

"Look! That figure is the Master!"

"It really is the Master! The Master has truly returned!"

"The Master will surely defeat that Crimson Moon Supreme!"

Morale soared, and many were moved to tears.

Indeed.

The Master had returned.

He was like a streak of light, ascending against the dark sky.

He was like the blazing sun, tearing through the darkness of the heavens and dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts.

Countless beings across the world caught sight of Yi Feng and began to speculate.

Could this figure be the Yi Feng that the Crimson Moon Supreme had spoken of?

Most of them had no idea who Yi Feng was.

But as Yi Feng rose into the sky, the haunting whispers that had plagued their minds vanished.

All living beings were no longer suffering, as if they were now under the protection of some powerful force.

For the despairing masses, it was like drowning souls grasping at a lifeline. They turned their reverent gazes toward Yi Feng.

"Is he our savior?"

"Who is he?"

"Is he a deity from our mortal world?"

In that moment, countless people across the vast world bowed devoutly to Yi Feng. Many even prostrated themselves, praying that he would protect them and safeguard their world.

In the blink of an eye.

Yi Feng stood before the Crimson Moon Supreme.

The Crimson Moon Supreme was clad in a flowing black cloak adorned with gold, his face cold and sinister, exuding an overwhelming aura of power and bloodlust.

He was indeed a formidable opponent.

The Crimson Moon Supreme looked at Yi Feng, who now stood at his level, and smiled with the confidence of a victor.

This day had finally come. He had fully integrated himself into this world.

In the eyes of the Crimson Moon Supreme, he was now invincible across the entire cosmos.

As for Yi Feng, his old rival, he still held a certain respect.

It was the mutual admiration between mortal enemies.

Yi Feng was an opponent who made the vastness of the cosmos feel less lonely.

However, in the end, only one supreme being could reign over this cosmos.

And that supreme being could only be him, the Crimson Moon Supreme.

The Crimson Moon Supreme studied Yi Feng and said with a smile, "Yi Feng, you've finally shown yourself! Didn't expect this, did you? In the end, I was always one step ahead."

Yi Feng remained silent, simply gazing at him calmly.

"Hmph!"

The Crimson Moon Supreme's icy voice echoed once more.

"You sought to obtain the World's Heart and the World's Origin to elevate your world's level and challenge me. But all your efforts were in vain, nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation."

"Though you had your disciple retrieve the World's Heart of Blue Star, the World's Origin of Blue Star had long since vanished. In the end, your efforts were as futile as drawing water with a bamboo basket."

"One hundred thousand years ago, you laid a grand formation across the cosmos, hoping to nurture a World's Origin, but you failed. And now, you foolishly attempt to replicate Blue Star's World's Origin using this insignificant Shadow Island."

"These are nothing but your delusions. Today, I will personally shatter your dreams. Don't you find yourself laughable now?"

"Hahahahaha…"

The Crimson Moon Supreme laughed maniacally. Over the years, he had been fully aware of all of Yi Feng's plans.

He looked at Yi Feng as if he were a clown, reveling in his victory and the pleasure of toying with his formidable rival.

Yet Yi Feng remained silent, simply watching the Crimson Moon Supreme with calm composure.

He listened quietly as the Crimson Moon Supreme spoke.

Seeing Yi Feng's silence, the Crimson Moon Supreme sneered.

He didn't expect a defeated man to have anything to say. On the contrary, he relished Yi Feng's current state.

"Now, my body has fully integrated into this world through the Crimson Moon, and I have refined it. All that remains is a single thought, and this world will recognize me as its master. I will become the new World Sovereign of this realm."

"At that moment, all living beings in this world will be nothing but ants. Their lives and deaths will be at my whim. All will become nourishment to elevate my world's level, including you, Yi Feng…"

Everyone could hear the Crimson Moon Supreme's words.

His voice resonated like the laws of the world, echoing in the ears of all, causing them to tremble in fear.

World Sovereign!

Refining the world!

Such concepts were beyond their comprehension, shattering their understanding of reality.

Countless people were plunged into overwhelming terror and dread.

They realized, to their horror, that they were nothing but insignificant insects. The world they knew could be refined and controlled by someone.

They were like turkeys on a farm, awaiting slaughter.

And the Crimson Moon Supreme intended to turn them into mere fodder.

The Crimson Moon Supreme's voice continued to reverberate across the cosmos.

"If I'm not mistaken, aside from seeking to elevate your world's level with the World's Heart and Origin, you also considered refining this world yourself. That's why you integrated yourself into it, becoming a part of this realm."

"But what good is mere integration? Without the proper means, you could never refine the world left behind by the Eternal Calamity Supreme. After all, the world he left behind is a high-level, perfected realm."

"Unlike you, after our last battle left us both wounded, I devoted all my efforts to forging the Crimson Moon's Heart, all for the purpose of refining this world."

The Crimson Moon Supreme's face was filled with arrogance as he mocked Yi Feng relentlessly.

He found Yi Feng's actions naive and foolish.

Mere integration without the ability to refine the world was a laughable endeavor.

"Now, the time has come for me to succeed. And you, Yi Feng, even though we are both Supremes, by integrating into this world, you have become a part of it. As its master, a single thought from me can reduce you to ashes."

"Hahaha…"

The Crimson Moon Supreme's cold laughter echoed across the heavens.

The people felt as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss, their scalps tingling with fear.

Though much of what the Crimson Moon Supreme said was beyond their understanding, they could grasp one thing: all life in this world would become his sacrificial offerings, mere playthings that he could obliterate with a single thought.

The people of Shadow Island listened, their faces grim.

Did this mean that even the Master had been defeated?

A wave of despair washed over them.

The hope they had clung to was slowly fading away.

But they did not bow their heads. They stood tall and proud.

They would stand with Shadow Island and with Master Yi Feng, even unto death.

If fate was unjust, they would defy fate.

If heaven was unjust, they would defy heaven.

Even if their efforts were as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, even if their strength was but a drop in the ocean, they would face their end with courage.

And at that moment.

The Crimson Moon Supreme's laughter abruptly ceased. His expression turned cold and mocking.

"Yi Feng, it's all over."

He stared intently at Yi Feng.

Then, with a gaze that swept across all living beings, he declared in a voice that resonated across the cosmos:

"Begin the refinement!"
