Three Axes of Heaven-Opening! Heaven-Defying Comprehension Triggers-One Sword to Open Heaven!

After a long while, the tremors finally subsided.

Qin Mu's sword had actually broken through Xing Tian's axe strike.

Before Xing Tian could recover, Qin Mu swung his sword down at him again.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom..."

Mighty Sword Qi stretched across the sky, rolling like a dragon as it tore through the void, as if it would destroy this Small Heaven and Earth.

Xing Tian saw this, and his battle intent surged even higher.

As Qin Mu's sword power swept toward him again, Xing Tian abruptly raised the Xing Tian Shield in his hand. Runes flashed across its surface, and it forcibly blocked the strike!

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

The clash of metal rang across the world. Sword Qi and baleful energy collided, unleashing an endless storm.

After blocking Qin Mu's sword, Xing Tian burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Wonderful!"

"This is the first time an outsider has ever broken through my Sky-Opening Axe Technique!"

Kuafu, who had been watching from the sidelines, was already too stunned to speak.

"Qin Mu... is he really this powerful?"

Kuafu was deeply shaken, his breathing growing noticeably more rapid.

One had to know that among the Witch Clan, apart from the Twelve Ancestral Witches and those two unfathomably powerful peak Great Witches, no one could match Xing Tian.

And yet Qin Mu had managed to fight him to this extent.

"How can his body be so powerful?"

"And he has such astonishing arts and divine abilities!"

The more Kuafu thought about it, the more inconceivable it seemed.

At the beginning of their spar, Qin Mu and Xing Tian had exchanged a punch using nothing but their physical strength.

Now, Qin Mu's sword technique had directly broken through Xing Tian's axe technique.

As Kuafu reeled in shock, Xing Tian's battle intent grew even sharper. His gaze fixed on Qin Mu, burning with excitement.

Xing Tian had always been an avid fighter.

Now that he had encountered an opponent like Qin Mu, he naturally wanted to have a proper battle.

"Daoist Qin Mu!"

"Now, let's see how you handle my true power!"

Xing Tian spoke, his battle intent surging.

"Oh?"

Qin Mu was briefly taken aback, but quickly returned to normal.

He knew full well that Xing Tian, a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, had far more at his disposal than what he had shown earlier.

"Daoist Xing Tian, give it your all!"

"I'll take every blow!"

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Xing Tian's eyes narrowed.

"Boom..."

A moment later, violent baleful energy surged around him.

Then, his body suddenly began to grow.

In the space of a few breaths, he had become a thousand-zhang-tall giant, his muscles knotted like dragons.

Ancient witch runes shimmered across his skin, glowing blood-red!

A sky-shaking aura spread from Xing Tian.

When Kuafu saw this, his heart began to pound faster.

It was clear that Xing Tian was getting serious.

Qin Mu's expression turned solemn at the sight, and he sighed inwardly:

"Just as expected of Xing Tian!"

"With an aura this overwhelming, even an ordinary Great Principle Golden Immortal would probably be suppressed."

Earlier, opening the Large Red Packet had earned Qin Mu a reward of Million-Year Mana.

With that reward, his cultivation had broken through to the Great Principle Golden Immortal level.

Yet even so, faced with Xing Tian's oppressive aura, he still felt a pang of unease.

"Daoist Qin Mu, be careful!"

Just then, Xing Tian, now a thousand-zhang giant, spoke.

Qin Mu focused, not daring to let his guard down. The Grass Sword in his hand glimmered faintly, surrounded by layers of infused mana.

"Three Axes of Heaven-Opening!"

Xing Tian roared. Gripping the Gan Qi Axe with both hands, he raised it above his head, then brought it down in a mighty chop.

The Three Axes of Heaven-Opening were an axe technique he had created after comprehending the images left behind by Pangu's creation of Heaven and Earth.

"First Axe: Heaven-Opening."

As Xing Tian brought his axe down, its light resembled Chaos splitting apart and Heaven and Earth taking shape.

"Boom! Boom!"

A dazzling axe-blade swept across the sky, as if it would split the entire Small World in two.

"Second Axe: World-Extinguishing."

After the first axe fell, Xing Tian immediately followed with another powerful strike.

"Boom!"

This axe contained an endless intent of destruction.

Everything in its path was crushed. Space and time shattered, and all things returned to the void!

"Third Axe: Destruction."

After the second axe fell, Xing Tian swung the Gan Qi Axe once more and unleashed a third strike.

"Rumble!"

As the axe fell, Heaven and Earth lost their color. Chaos surged throughout the entire Small World, as if recreating the final scene of Pangu's creation of Heaven and Earth.

As Xing Tian's three consecutive strikes landed, their terrifying power stacked upon itself.

Kuafu's mind shuddered at the sight.

"So powerful!"

He couldn't help exclaiming in admiration.

He and Xing Tian were both Great Witches of the Witch Clan.

But if Xing Tian unleashed these three axes against him, Kuafu doubted he could withstand them.

"Can Qin Mu withstand Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening?"

Kuafu wondered, uncertain.

Qin Mu was certainly powerful—far more than Kuafu had expected.

But in Kuafu's eyes, the power of Xing Tian's three strikes was terrifying. Even a Great Principle Golden Immortal would likely be reduced to ashes beneath their combined force.

At the same time, Qin Mu was also shocked when he saw Xing Tian's three axes descending toward him.

"What tremendous axe power!"

"His axe technique actually contains a trace of Pangu's true intent."

As Qin Mu reeled in shock, the combined power of the three axes came crashing toward him.

"Boom..."

Their terrifying force could destroy Heaven and Earth. Space and time crumbled in its path, and Heaven and Earth quaked!

Qin Mu's expression turned grave. Just as he was about to act, a system notification suddenly rang out in his mind:

[Ping!]

[Heaven-Defying Comprehension triggered!]

[You observed the axe technique created by the Great Witch Xing Tian and comprehended the power of Heaven-Opening within it. By combining it with the essence of your own grass sword technique, you have created a new divine ability—One Sword to Open Heaven!]

As the system's notification sounded,

boundless, profound sword intent rapidly flooded Qin Mu's mind.

At that moment, his primordial spirit seemed to cross through time and space, witnessing Pangu's feat of splitting Heaven and Earth with his own eyes.

Chaos had yet to divide, and the primordial world remained unformed.

Pangu opened his eyes from his slumber,

his left eye like the rising sun, his right eye like the bright moon in the sky.

Under his gaze, Chaos was pierced. It suddenly churned and roared like boiling water.

Pangu felt suffocated. Chaos bound and crushed him, as if it would swallow him whole once more.

Then Pangu suddenly reached out. His five fingers were like pillars holding up the sky, and from the depths of Chaos, he seized a giant axe!

The axe had neither point nor edge. Its body shimmered with flowing light, while a ray of Primordial Light coursed along its blade.

"Open!!"

With Pangu's furious roar, he raised the giant axe high and brought it straight down upon Chaos!

"Boom! Boom!"

The axe came down, its light cleaving through eternal night like lightning as Chaos was torn apart.

That which was light rose, becoming the sky.

That which was turbid sank, forming the earth.

Heaven and Earth first took shape, and the Clear and Turbid Qi surged like furious waves.

Soon, Qin Mu's mind withdrew from that wondrous scene.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze burned fiercely. Sword intent surged throughout his body, and the Grass Sword in his hand let out a Sword Chant.

"Boom! Boom!"

What's more, a wisp of Chaos appeared along the edge of the Grass Sword!

"Daoist Xing Tian, take this sword!"

As his words fell, Qin Mu stepped forward. Behind him, the phantom of his true form—the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass—appeared.

As the sword grass swayed, it seemed to be reenacting the creation of Heaven and Earth!

"This sword is called One Sword to Open Heaven!"
