Three Axes of Heaven-Opening! Heaven-Defying Comprehension Triggered, One Sword to Open Heaven!
It took a while before the tremors finally subsided.
Qin Mu's sword had actually broken through Xing Tian's axe strike.
Before Xing Tian could recover his senses, Qin Mu brought another sword down upon him.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom..."
Vast Sword Qi streaked across the air, roiling like a dragon as it tore through the Void, as though it would destroy this small heaven and earth.
At the sight, Xing Tian's fighting spirit blazed even hotter.
As Qin Mu's sword force came crashing in once more, the Xing Tian Shield in his hand abruptly rose to block it. Runes flashed across its surface as it forcibly withstood the strike!
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
The clash of metal rang through the cosmos. Sword Qi collided with Sha Qi, exploding into endless storms.
After blocking Qin Mu's sword, Xing Tian could not help bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Exhilarating!"
"This is the first time an outsider has ever broken my Heaven-Opening Axe Technique!"
Kuafu, watching the battle from the side, had long since been too stunned for words.
"Qin Mu... is actually this powerful?"
Kuafu was deeply shaken, his breathing growing much more rapid.
One had to know that within the Wu Clan, aside from the Twelve Ancestral Witches and those two unfathomable peak Great Witches, no one could defeat Xing Tian.
Yet now, Qin Mu had actually fought him to such a degree.
"How could his physical body be so powerful?"
"And he even possesses such arts and divine abilities!"
The more Kuafu thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.
At the very beginning of their contest, Qin Mu had already exchanged a punch with Xing Tian using nothing but pure physical strength.
And now, the sword technique Qin Mu had unleashed had directly broken Xing Tian's axe technique.
Just as Kuafu stood stunned, Xing Tian's fighting spirit became even more chilling, his gaze upon Qin Mu burning with fervor.
He had always been exceptionally fond of battle.
Now that he had encountered an opponent like Qin Mu, he naturally wanted to have a proper fight.
"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu!"
"Next, let us see how you take my true power!"
Xing Tian declared with surging battle intent.
"Oh?"
Qin Mu was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but quickly returned to normal.
He knew very well that, as a Great Witch of the Wu Clan, Xing Tian's methods were far more than what he had shown earlier.
"Fellow Daoist Xing Tian, feel free to give it your all!"
"I shall take them one by one!"
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Xing Tian's gaze sharpened.
"Boom..."
Immediately afterward, violent Sha Qi surged forth from all around him.
When they looked again, his body had abruptly swelled in size.
In less than a few breaths, he had transformed into a giant a thousand zhang tall, his muscles knotted like dragons.
Moreover, ancient witch patterns flickered across his skin, blooming with blood-red light!
A towering aura spread from Xing Tian's body.
Upon seeing this, Kuafu's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
He could naturally tell that Xing Tian had become serious.
Seeing this, Qin Mu's expression turned solemn as he secretly sighed.
"Worthy of Xing Tian indeed!"
"With this kind of oppressive aura, even ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals would likely be suppressed by him."
Earlier, opening the Great Red Packet had rewarded Qin Mu with Million-Year Mana.
With that reward, his cultivation had already broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
Yet faced with Xing Tian's aura at this moment, he still felt a measure of dread.
"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, be careful!"
At that moment, Xing Tian, transformed into a thousand-zhang giant, spoke.
Qin Mu focused intently, not daring to show the slightest carelessness. The Grass Sword in his hand glimmered with a dim light, streams of mana coiling around it.
"Three Axes of Heaven-Opening!"
Then Xing Tian roared, gripping the Gan Qi Axe with both hands and raising it high over his head before fiercely chopping down.
These Three Axes of Heaven-Opening were an axe technique he had created himself after comprehending the images left behind by Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth.
"First axe, open heaven."
As Xing Tian brought down his axe, its radiance was like Chaos first splitting apart, heaven and earth being born.
"Boom! Boom!"
A dazzling axe radiance cut across the firmament, as though it would cleave the entire Small World in two.
"Second axe, World Annihilation."
As the first axe fell, Xing Tian swung his arm and brought down another axe strike.
"Boom!"
This axe contained boundless intent of Destruction.
Wherever it passed, space and time shattered, and all things returned to Guixu!
"Third axe, Destruction."
After the second axe descended, Xing Tian swung the Gan Qi Axe once more, cleaving out the third axe.
"Rumble!"
With one axe, heaven and earth lost their color. Chaos churned throughout the entire Small World, as though the final scene of Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth was being reenacted.
As Xing Tian unleashed three consecutive axe strikes, their terrifying power stacked atop one another.
Upon seeing this, Kuafu's mind shook violently.
"So strong!"
He could not help but exclaim in admiration.
He thought to himself that he and Xing Tian were both Great Witches of the Wu Clan.
But if Xing Tian unleashed such three axes upon him, then with his strength, he feared he would find it difficult to withstand them.
"Can Qin Mu block Xing Tian's Three Axes of Heaven-Opening?"
Kuafu hesitated inwardly.
Although Qin Mu was also powerful, even far beyond what he had expected.
But in Kuafu's view, the power of these three axes Xing Tian had unleashed was terrifying. Under the stacked force of the three axes, even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal present here would likely be reduced to ashes.
At the same time, when Qin Mu saw the three axe strikes Xing Tian had brought down upon him, he too was greatly shocked.
"What powerful axe force!"
"His axe technique actually contains a trace of Pangu's True Intent."
Just as Qin Mu stood stunned, the stacked force of the three axes had already come crashing down upon him in a vast torrent.
"Boom..."
Its terrifying might destroyed heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, space and time collapsed, and heaven trembled while earth shook!
Qin Mu's face was grave. Just as he was about to make his move, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:
[ Ding! ] [Heaven-Defying Comprehension triggered!] [You observed the axe technique created by Great Witch Xing Tian, comprehended the power of opening heaven from within it, fused it with the profundities of your own Grass Sword technique, and created a brand-new divine ability—One Sword to Open Heaven!]
As the system's voice rang out.
In an instant, endless profound sword intent rapidly flooded into Qin Mu's mind.
At this moment, his Primordial Spirit seemed to cross space and time, witnessing firsthand Pangu's magnificent feat of creating heaven with his axe.
Chaos had yet to divide; Hongmeng had yet to be distinguished.
The sleeping Pangu opened his eyes.
His left eye was like a blazing sun newly risen, while his right eye resembled a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Chaos was pierced through beneath his gaze, suddenly churning and roaring like boiling water.
Pangu felt suffocated. Chaos bound and squeezed him, as though it sought to swallow him back up.
Immediately afterward, Pangu suddenly reached out. His five fingers were like pillars propping up the heavens as he actually seized a giant axe from the depths of Chaos!
This axe had neither edge nor blade, its body flowing with radiant light, while a Primordial Light of Hongmeng swirled around its cutting edge.
"Open!!"
With Pangu's furious roar, he raised the giant axe high and cleaved straight toward Chaos!
"Boom! Boom!"
As the axe fell, its radiance tore through the eternal night like lightning, ripping Chaos apart by force.
The light rose upward, transforming into the firmament.
The turbid sank downward, condensing into the earth.
Heaven and earth had just divided, and Clear and Turbid Qi rolled like raging waves.
Very quickly, Qin Mu withdrew his consciousness from that wondrous scene.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze blazed brilliantly, sword intent boiling throughout his body. The Grass Sword in his hand let out a Sword Chant.
"Boom! Boom!"
Moreover, a wisp of Chaos aura emerged upon the Grass Sword's edge!
"Fellow Daoist Xing Tian, take my sword!"
As soon as his words fell, Qin Mu took a step forward. Behind him, the phantom of the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass's true form instantly manifested.
As the sword grass swayed, it seemed to be unfolding the scene of the Creation of Heaven and Earth!
"This sword is named Open Heaven!"
