Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peak eighth-tier combat strength | 255 | Before obtaining a supreme true treasure, Giant Axe is already described as peak eighth tier and the human race's leading True God 255. |
| Peak ninth-tier potential with supreme axe | 255 | Ren Ze estimates that a suitable supreme treasure axe would raise Giant Axe directly to peak ninth-tier strength 255. |
| Supreme true treasure axe obtained | 259 | Giant Axe refines the black supreme true treasure axe after Ren Ze discovers it in Tilted Peak Realm; the axe requires willpower beyond True God level to bind 259. |
| Ninth-tier combat power / Twelfth–Fifteenth Axe | 272 | With the black divine axe, Giant Axe suppresses the Divine Eye Clan's Eternal True God construct, using the Twelfth through Fifteenth Axe; the Fifteenth Axe scatters it and separates its three supreme true treasures 272. |

| Eighteenth Axe / peak thirteenth-tier power | 356 | Against fifth-stage Realm Beast Bedi, Giant Axe unleashes Eighteenth, a pinnacle eleventh-tier secret technique; with full divine power burning and his void-class supreme treasure axe, the strike reaches peak thirteenth-tier power, the limit of Void True God combat power 356. |
Background / History
Giant Axe Founder is one of the highest leaders of the human race. When he appears before the eighteen Universe Masters, they all rise and greet him as “Giant Axe,” showing his authority among humanity's top experts 186.
After Original Ancestor was suppressed, Giant Axe became the lone True God holding up the human race. He carried the pressure of protecting humanity while the race lacked any supreme true treasure, forcing him to remain low-key despite his strength 259.
Ren Ze later searches the inner region of Tilted Peak Realm specifically to find a supreme treasure axe for him. The discovered treasure is an enormous black axe whose handle alone is one light-year tall, standing in a molten cavern world like a heaven-supporting pillar 259. Ren Ze cannot refine it because it requires willpower beyond True God level, so he contacts Chaos City Leader and Giant Axe 259.
Giant Axe successfully binds the axe and is visibly emotional, saying that after endless ages he had lacked only a supreme true treasure suited to him 259. The acquisition dramatically changes humanity's strategic position, giving its sole True God a weapon that matches his path 260.
With his new axe, Giant Axe confronts the Divine Eye Clan in the Ninth Abyss. The Third and Sixth True Masters target him, believing he is easier to suppress because they do not yet know he has a supreme true treasure 271 272. Giant Axe reveals the axe in battle and overwhelms their Eternal True God construct with successive axe techniques, culminating in the Fifteenth Axe 272.
During the Tomb Mausoleum Boat crisis, many Universe Supreme Masters initially dismiss or ignore him. Giant Axe responds with a Fifteenth Axe that heavily injures three of them in one move, forcing the gathered powers to reassess humanity's strength 296.
He later enters the World of Jin with Ren Ze and Luo Feng. There, he joins the Phantom Scale Army, fights in True God assessments, obtains military equipment and inheritances, and grows through direct battlefield slaughter 324 325 326 327.
By the Realm Beast crisis, Giant Axe is recognized alongside Ren Ze and Luo Feng as one of the three strongest beings in the Cosmic Sea tasked with resolving the calamity 343. He fights Realm Beasts directly, using Seventeenth against Morosa and Eighteenth against Bedi 347 356.
Appearance
Giant Axe is repeatedly described as a barefoot, wildman-like, muscular giant with loose or disheveled long hair. His bearing resembles Rong Jun's wild temperament, though Giant Axe's presence is far greater 186 213 259.
- Wild, muscular build 186
- Loose or disheveled long hair 186 259
- Barefoot, savage-like presentation 259 280

Personality
Giant Axe is bold, direct, and battle-loving. He is repeatedly described as wild and unrestrained by nature, but he suppressed that side of himself for countless years because of his responsibility to the human race 259 324.
After receiving his supreme true treasure axe, his suppressed fighting spirit returns sharply. He wants to use the Divine Eye Clan to “consecrate” the axe and openly says he can finally show his true strength 265.
He is also protective of humanity. During the Tomb Mausoleum Boat crisis, he confronts the gathered Universe Supreme Masters for bullying Luo Feng and declares that Luo Feng belongs to the human race 296.
Despite his martial ferocity, Giant Axe is practical and race-minded. He discusses treasure allocation, safekeeping, and humanity's rise with Luo Feng, Ren Ze, and Chaos City Leader 300. He also accepts Ren Ze's help without false ceremony, while acknowledging that Ren Ze may have surpassed his ability to assist him 299.

Story Role / Major Arcs

He finds the black supreme true treasure axe, contacts Giant Axe and Chaos City Leader, and guards the site until they arrive 255 259. Giant Axe refines it successfully, fulfilling his long-held wish and changing humanity's Cosmic Sea standing 259 260.

Tomb Mausoleum Boat Crisis
