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

For a long moment, the tremors did not subside.

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

Before Xing Tian could recover his wits, Qin Mu swung another sword at him.

"Swoosh!"

"Boom..."

The vast sword qi surged horizontally, rolling like a dragon, tearing through the void as if to destroy this small corner of the world.

Seeing this, Xing Tian's battle intent burned even fiercer.

As Qin Mu's sword force came again, Xing Tian raised his shield in a sudden block—the runes on its surface flashing—and actually took the blow head-on!

"Clang!"

"Bang!"

The clash of metal rang through the heavens; sword qi and sha qi collided, exploding into an endless storm.

After blocking Qin Mu's sword, Xing Tian couldn't help but laugh aloud:

"Haha!"

"What a thrill!"

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

Kuafu, watching from the side, was already stunned speechless.

"This Qin Mu... is he really this strong?"

Kuafu's heart pounded, his breathing growing ragged.

He knew that among the Witch Clan, aside from the Twelve Ancestral Witches and those two unfathomable peak Great Witches, no one could match Xing Tian.

Yet now, Qin Mu could fight him to such a standstill.

"How is his physical body so powerful?"

"And he possesses such divine arts and techniques!"

The more he thought, the more unbelievable it seemed.

At the start of their bout, Qin Mu had exchanged a pure physical punch with Xing Tian.

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

Just as Kuafu was reeling in shock, Xing Tian's battle intent grew even sharper, his gaze burning as he looked at Qin Mu.

He had always been extremely fond of battle.

Now that he had met an opponent like Qin Mu, of course he wanted a good fight.

"Daoist Qin Mu!"

"Now, see if you can take my true power!"

Xing Tian's fighting spirit surged.

"Oh?"

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, but quickly returned to normal.

He understood clearly that as a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, Xing Tian's methods were far from what he had shown so far.

"Daoist Xing Tian, do as you will!"

"This Humble One will receive it all!"

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Xing Tian's gaze sharpened.

"Boom..."

In the next instant, violent sha qi erupted from his entire body.

When they looked again, his form had suddenly swelled.

In less than a few breaths, he had transformed into a thousand-zhang giant, muscles coiling like dragons.

Beyond that, ancient witch runes flickered across his skin, blazing with blood-red light!

An overwhelming aura radiated from Xing Tian.

Seeing this, Kuafu's heartbeat quickened.

He could tell that Xing Tian was getting serious.

Witnessing this scene, Qin Mu's expression grew solemn, and he silently marveled:

"As expected of Xing Tian!"

"With this kind of oppressive aura, even an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would likely be suppressed."

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

With this reward, his cultivation had already broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Yet facing the oppressive aura of Xing Tian at this moment, he still felt a trace of trepidation.

"Daoist Qin Mu, be careful!"

Just then, Xing Tian, who had transformed into a thousand-zhang giant, spoke.

Qin Mu focused his mind, daring not the slightest carelessness. The Grass Sword in his hand gleamed with faint light, strands of dharma power swirling around it in support.

"Three Axes of Heaven-Opening!"

Following that, Xing Tian roared, gripping the Gan Qi Axe with both hands, raising it high above his head, and then slashing down fiercely.

These Three Axes of Heaven-Opening were an axe technique he had created by comprehending the residual image left behind after Pangu opened Heaven.

"First Axe, Open Heaven."

As Xing Tian's axe fell, the axe light was like Chaos first parting, Heaven and Earth splitting open.

"Boom! Boom!"

A dazzling axe ray spanned the sky, as if it would cleave the entire small world in two.

"Second Axe, Annihilate the World."

With one axe stroke landing, Xing Tian swung his hand and sent another axe force crashing down.

"Boom!"

This axe contained boundless intent of destruction.

Where it passed, time and space shattered, all things returned to nothingness!

"Third Axe, Oblivion."

After the second axe struck, Xing Tian once again brandished the Gan Qi Axe and delivered the third axe.

"Boom, rumble!"

With one axe unleashed, Heaven and Earth lost their color. Within the entire small world, Chaos churned and surged, as if replaying the final scene of Pangu opening Heaven.

With Xing Tian's three consecutive axe strikes, the terrifying might stacked upon itself.

Kuafu, upon seeing this sight, felt his mind shaken.

"So strong!"

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

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

But if Xing Tian were to unleash these three axes against him, with his own strength, he feared he would be hard-pressed to withstand them.

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

Kuafu hesitated in his heart.

Although Qin Mu was also very strong, even far exceeding what he had anticipated.

In Kuafu's view, however, the power of these three axes Xing Tian had displayed was terrifying. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, beneath this stacked force of three axes, would likely be reduced to ashes.

At the same time, Qin Mu, seeing the three axes Xing Tian had slashed toward him, was also shocked.

"Such powerful axe force!"

"Within this axe technique of his, there is actually a trace of Pangu's true intent."

Just as Qin Mu was stunned, the stacked force of the three axes in the sky came roaring and crashing down toward him.

"Boom..."

The terrifying momentum was world-destroying. Where it passed, time and space shattered, the heavens trembled, and the earth quaked!

Seeing this, Qin Mu's expression turned grave. Just as he was about to make a move, a system prompt suddenly rang out in his mind:

[Ding!]

[Heaven-Defying Insight triggered!]

[You observe the axe technique created by Great Witch Xing Tian, comprehend the power of Heaven-Opening within it, fuse it with the essence of your own Grass Sword technique, and create a new divine ability—One Sword to Open Heaven!]

As the system's sound echoed.

In an instant, endless profound sword intent surged rapidly into Qin Mu's mind.

At this moment, his Primordial Spirit seemed to cross time and space, witnessing with his own eyes the grand feat of Pangu swinging his axe to open Heaven.

Chaos was undivided, the primordial state unjudged.

Pangu, slumbering, opened his eyes.

His left eye was like the newborn blazing sun, his right eye like the bright full moon hanging in the sky.

Chaos was pierced through by his gaze, suddenly churning, roaring like boiling water.

Pangu felt suffocated. Chaos bound and pressed against him, as if trying to swallow him back.

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

This axe had no edge or blade; its body shimmered with flowing radiance, while along its edge swirled the Primordial Light.

"OPEN!!"

With Pangu's furious roar, the great axe was raised high and brought straight down upon Chaos!

"BOOM! BOOM!"

One axe fell, its light like lightning tearing through the eternal night, and Chaos was ripped apart.

The light rose upward, becoming the heavens.

The turbid sank downward, condensing into the earth.

Heaven and earth were divided for the first time, the Clear and Turbid Qi churning like raging tides.

Soon, Qin Mu withdrew his mind from this wondrous scene.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze blazed with intensity, sword intent seething throughout his entire body. The Grass Sword in his hand even emitted a Sword Chant.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

Beyond that, a wisp of Chaos aura surfaced upon the blade of the Grass Sword!

"Brother Xing Tian, take this sword strike!"

As his words faded, Qin Mu stepped forward, and behind him manifested the phantom of his Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass form.

As the sword grass swayed, it seemed to evolve the scene of heaven and earth being split apart!

"This sword is named Heaven-Opener!"
