Background

The Giant Axe Arena was founded by Giant Axe, humanity's sole strongest being. It stands alongside the Virtual Universe Company as one of humanity's foremost forces, with resources and training infrastructure far beyond those of ordinary universe kingdoms 29 57.

Its duels serve both as public entertainment and as a means of identifying exceptional talent. The Arena recruits promising combatants through competitions held across the human race, including direct admission to its core ranks for outstanding Giant Axe Warriors 57 71.

Duel System

Giant Axe Warrior

A combatant earns the title of Giant Axe Warrior by winning 1,000 consecutive life-and-death duels against opponents of the same cultivation rank. A single loss is not permitted 26 44.

• Every match is fought to the death 28.
• Fighters may be volunteers, forced participants seeking freedom, or geniuses looking for worthy opponents 28.
• The title identifies an elite fighter capable of challenging stronger opponents beyond their own rank 44.
• The Arena may arrange a contestant's 1,000th match against another fighter with 999 victories, ensuring that only one can survive to claim the title 41.

Golden Giant Axe Warrior

A Golden Giant Axe Warrior is chosen through a survival tournament involving 1,000 Giant Axe Warriors of the same rank. The sole surviving participant receives the title 44 46.

• Planetary-level Golden Giant Axe Warrior events generally occur once every three to five years; higher-rank events have no fixed schedule 44.
• Ao Planet's Planetary-level tournament used a month-long shrinking-safe-zone format, with exotic beasts and rival contestants serving as threats 46 47.
• Contestants who violate equipment restrictions are immediately killed by Arena monitors 53.
• The Arena monitors combat feeds across the tournament area and pushes notable battles to spectators' viewing screens 50.

Rank-Specific Arenas

• Planetary- and Star-level matches can be held in a sealed dueling space with a ten-kilometer radius 38.
• Universe-level duels are generally assigned to specially prepared locations because ordinary arenas are too small 38.
• Qingyu Branch's largest arena uses spatial laws to expand a 50,000-kilometer combat space into a one-million-kilometer battlefield for World Lord-level duels 150.
• Arena combat spaces can be configured as starfields containing planets, asteroid belts, and satellites 150.

Spectator Economy

The Arena profits from live tickets, paid match viewing, and match replays 28.

• High-profile duels attract enormous crowds; Julingsheng Planet's arena can accommodate millions of spectators 38.
• The final duel between two 999-win Planetary-level contestants filled a venue holding more than ten million people, with scalped tickets selling for several times their original price 42.
• Tickets are sold separately for physical and Virtual Universe viewing to create scarcity 150.
• The Ao Planet Golden Giant Axe Warrior tournament drew 100,000 spectator ships, whose tickets were sold by the Arena 46.

Core Disciple System

The Arena's core disciples are divided between the Giant Axe Secret Realm and the Bloodthirst Secret Realm. The Giant Axe Secret Realm contains the three higher tiers, while the Bloodthirst Secret Realm is the outermost core tier 70 71.

Tier	Documented Membership	Residence / Benefits
Third Axe	100 members	Manor exceeding ten million kilometers; Immortal-level guard captain 71 122
Second Axe	1,000 members	100-kilometer manor; one World Lord, ten Domain Lords, and 100 Universe-level guards 71
First Axe	10,000 members	Detached villa and a small cultivation ground 71
Bloodthirst Secret Realm	Over 10 million members	Apartment housing and shared cultivation spaces 71

Core members are periodically ranked through qualification battles. Stronger members rise to higher tiers, while weaker members are demoted, preventing members from retaining resources without continued progress 122.

• Second Axe Universe-level members compete for promotion to Third Axe, while low-ranking members risk demotion to First Axe 122 123.
• At the World Lord level, Third Axe members must rank within the top 100 to retain their status; failure results in demotion to Second Axe 183.
• World Lord-level Third Axe members receive especially substantial resources, including qualification-battle rewards worth from 100 million to 2 billion points 183.

Facilities and Territories

Virtual Headquarters

The Arena maintains a Virtual Universe headquarters centered on Earth Splitter Continent, an axe-shaped continent more than 200,000 kilometers long and up to 60,000 kilometers wide. It houses members below the Immortal level 71.

• Earth Splitter Continent is divided into Third Axe, Second Axe, First Axe, Bloodthirst Secret Realm, and public regions 71.
• Members cannot enter other core-tier regions; the public region is used for trade and entertainment 71.
• Sky Opener Continent, situated above Earth Splitter, is reserved for Immortal gods and higher beings and is said to be 1,000 to 10,000 times larger 71.

Giant Axe Secret Realm

The Giant Axe Secret Realm is one of the largest cosmic secret realms and has been developed by the Arena for hundreds of millions of years. Its dense cosmic origin energy makes it especially suited for cultivation 90.

• The Realm provides the main cultivation grounds for First Axe, Second Axe, and Third Axe members 70.
• Second Axe members reside in a cluster of 200 stars 114.
• Third Axe members reside among 108 moving stars protected by a self-contained spacetime formation that transfers incoming attacks to the stars; the defense is stated to withstand even Universe Venerable attacks 127.
• The Third Axe region includes ten larger stars, each 300,000 kilometers in diameter, designated as exclusive territories for its highest-ranked members 127.

Branch Network

The Arena controls 504 universe kingdoms, each capable of hosting branch operations and external postings for its core members 144.

The Qingyu Branch operates from Purple Mist Island in the Virtual Universe and maintains Sea Azure City's largest arena, a coliseum exceeding 100,000 kilometers in diameter 152 150.

• Sett / “The Boss” — Survived the Ao Planet tournament to become a Planetary-level Golden Giant Axe Warrior 57.
• Sett — Recruited directly into the Giant Axe Secret Realm's Second Axe after the Arena assessed him as a “Second Axe” genius; this was an exceptional admission, as even outstanding Giant Axe Warriors generally only qualified for the Bloodthirst Secret Realm at Universe level 57 71.
