The woodcutter's knife looked stained all over, chipped and broken, without the slightest trace of power, like an ordinary broken black-iron blade. Yet the instant it fell into Qin Kun's hand, it burst forth with radiance.
It was a divine might that even after Qin Yang had refined it, he had been unable to trigger, and it was also a connection he had been unable to sever.
To Qin Kun, this woodcutter's knife carried a meaning similar to a Lifebound Magical Artifact for ordinary cultivators, though there was still a difference.
Most cultivators' Lifebound Magical Artifacts began in the Divine Sea. They were among the few artifacts that could grow alongside their cultivators—sharing glory and ruin alike—yet their cultivators could unleash one hundred and twenty percent of their power.
In terms of combat strength, that so-called one hundred and twenty percent was practically equivalent to crossing an entire realm.
That was why so many cultivators cultivated Lifebound Magical Artifacts.
Qin Kun's woodcutter's knife, however, was different. It had followed Qin Kun ever since he had been a mortal, all the way until he became one of the ancient great shots.
The knife itself was indeed a top-tier magical artifact, but in someone else's hands, it was not so powerful that it could not be resisted or ignored.
To a certain extent, this woodcutter's knife was an artifact that could be used in conjunction with the Wrath Art.
Once it was in Qin Kun's hand and the two became one, it was no longer merely one hundred and twenty percent of an artifact's power.
Qin Yang watched as Qin Kun slashed out. All things perished, reduced to ash and scattered smoke; no one could withstand that momentum. It seemed even stronger than the slash that had once killed Tai Hao.
