Chapter 252: Xuanwu Axe
"Howl~" Xiao Tian transformed into a silver light and charged directly at the Flame Emperor's Blood Sword.
"Swift~" Jin Zi turned into a golden light and rushed towards the dragon robe on Yang Chen.
"It has been a long time since I unsheathed the Yan Huang Blood Sword." As he spoke, Yang Chen held the sword with his left hand against his left waist, slightly leaning forward. His right hand rested on the hilt of the Yan Huang Blood Sword. He gripped the hilt tightly, slowly applying pressure, and the Yan Huang Blood Sword gradually emerged from its sheath, revealing a bright red glow. For a moment, Yang Chen was bathed in this blood-red light, resembling a blood-soaked demon god.
"In the name of the demon, I judge!" The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign shouted. Immediately, a black demonic phantom was outlined to the right of the Five-Colored Sphere in his hand, appearing exceptionally brutal and fierce. At the same time, a murderous aura surrounded the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign, as if he were a demon from hell.
"In the name of the angel, I judge!" Following the hellish demon, a white angelic phantom was outlined on the Five-Colored Sphere, embodying purity and compassion. Then, an image of mercy that resembled an angel's holiness and compassion appeared around the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign.
Both angel and demon resided within one person, creating an odd and twisted sensation; however, on the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign, it felt as if it were meant to be. Perhaps this is what it means to be one who is punished by heaven!
"Sword Breaks the Firmament!!" Yang Chen, filled with sword intent, suddenly drew out his long sword with his left hand and swung it horizontally to his right hand. He then raised his sword to the heavens and slashed downwards. Instantly, a blood-red cross shot out towards the domain of 'Demonic Judgment of the Holy Angel.' After delivering this strike, Yang Chen weakly knelt on one knee on the ground, with his right hand's Yan Huang Blood Sword plunged into the earth to support himself from falling.
"Howl~" "Swift~" Xiao Tian and Jin Zi weakly separated from Yang Chen's Yan Huang Blood Sword and dragon robe, lying beside him. They called out feebly; Yang Chen looked at them affectionately and murmured without making a sound.
"The Cross Slash of the Ghost Swordsman in the Underground City?" With Yang Chen's previous calculations in mind, the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign dared not be careless any longer. He fully controlled the 'Demonic Judgment of the Holy Angel' domain to confront Yang Chen.
"Bang!!"
In a brief clash, Sword Breaks the Firmament directly cut through most of the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign's domain before dissipating. Immediately, the elemental energies in space quickly repaired the damaged area; however, both its five-colored energy and its power had been reduced by more than seventy percent.
Unfortunately, facing a demonic domain with less than thirty percent power remaining, Yang Chen found himself unable to continue fighting. In his current state, even an ordinary One Star fighter could kill him like slaughtering a dog. As he watched the five-colored domain draw closer and closer, Yang Chen helplessly closed his eyes, revealing a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, am I leaving first again this time?"
“Celestial Emperor!!”
“Stop!!”
“Ha ha, Yang Chen, if I kill you and find ten Ancient Divine Artifacts, I will be able to recover my lost memories and find my way home. You must die!!”
“Husband!” “Father!!”
“Is all of this fake? Or is it a dream? When I wake up, am I still in the Deer Competition Finals Hall? Waiting for the final victory, or preparing for the opening moves? Or have I already finished the competition, gotten drunk at the celebration banquet, and when I wake up, I'm lying in a hotel, waiting to embrace the peak of my life? Or perhaps all of this crossing over, even my life itself, is just a dream, and the Demon God Continent is the reality? Earth is merely a carefree dream of mine? Or is it that the Demon God Continent is just a novel dream? Dreamlike reality, dreams are always an unknown, unpredictable illusionary game where everyone can be a protagonist, a protagonist belonging solely to your life. Because with just a small thought or a tiny action, the outcome of this dreamlike life can change dramatically. As the master of dreams, if I am to do it, I will be the master among them!! I, Yang Chen, will never accept fate!!”
“Ding!! Original Armor found, Original Armor recognizes its master!!” A black armor with golden light floated out from the ruins at the bottom of the Tower of Babel and directly drilled into Yang Chen's body.
“Original Armor: Instantly enlarges the wearer as if possessed by a deity or demon. For three minutes of enlargement, immune to all magic, fighting spirit, and combat technique damage; cooldown time is 24 hours.”
“Ding! Eight pieces of Heroes armor collected; one item slot available for decomposing any piece of equipment.”
“Original Armor!!” In an instant, Yang Chen slowly began to enlarge, growing hundreds or even thousands of meters tall, towering into the sky and looking down at the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign. With a slight lift of his foot, it seemed he could crush countless Fighting Saints.
“Original Armor?”
“Exactly, immune to all magic, fighting spirit, and combat techniques.” The giant Yang Chen spoke with a voice as loud as thunder that resonated from the wilderness straight to Lingxiao City.
“I do not believe it!! The Holy Angel's Demon Judgment, attack!!” The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said unwillingly. Suddenly, a 10*10*10 sized Five-Colored Sphere smashed toward Yang Chen. Yang Chen did not move at all and let it crash into him; then everything dissipated as if nothing had happened.
“It’s impossible, impossible!!” The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign screamed in madness at the sight of Yang Chen before him.
“Liu Xian, I remember you also released the Xuanwu Axe. What about now?” The giant Yang Chen asked.
“Liu Xian? Celestial Emperor, do you know Great Unity Celestial Sovereign?”
“Liu Xian?” Crimson Dragon's pupils contracted, and he immediately roared, “Is it you, the mysterious person? Did you capture Brother Liu Xian?”
“Capture? Hmph, he is a part of me; he is merely merging with me now,” Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said coldly. “Since you know me, will you still kill me? If you don’t kill me, once the effect of your Xuanwu Axe wears off, it will be much easier for me to kill you.”
At that moment, Yang Chen began to feel troubled. His large face twisted deeply as he frowned and said, “Liu Xian, why are you in such a hurry? I told you, I have almost found it; just give me a little more time.”
“I don’t know what my lost memories are, but right now I don’t want to hear your words. You can kill or torture me as you please; otherwise, I will go to the Western Continent,” Liu Xian said coldly.
“How could you!! Didn’t we agree back then? I would give you an answer.”
“An answer? Tell me now; if you can’t, then forget it. Back then, I agreed to join forces with you to eliminate the Eastern powers and Qin Shi Huang’s methods of unifying the world; you know that well. You can’t really think I have any lingering feelings for you? To be honest, in my memories, you are nothing at all, absolutely nothing…” Great Unity Celestial Sovereign laughed loudly.
Seeing that the effect of the Xuanwu Axe would only last about a minute, Yang Chen became anxious. Killing him was unbearable, but letting him go was dangerous. Even if he could capture him and seal his Dantian, with his current level of understanding, he would escape sooner or later.
What to do, what to do!! For the first time, Yang Chen felt a deep sense of helplessness.
“Since that’s the case, I will return to the West first. If there’s a chance in the future, I will come back to compete with Best Actor,” Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said as he dusted off his clothes and tidied his hair. “Farewell!”
“Haha! Haha! Such a large Shadow Kill? Haha! Haha! Haha!” Liu Xian led Blood Robe and others away, growing farther and farther.
Yang Chen clenched his massive fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his flesh.
“Celestial Emperor!” National Master Yi Tianzheng suddenly stepped forward and shouted.
“National Master?” Yang Chen weakly waved his hand in response.
“Celestial Emperor, do you remember the first time I met you and read your fortune? At that time, you were not very powerful, and I used all my strength to interpret the celestial signs?” the National Master said eagerly.
“Are you saying...?” Yang Chen immediately recalled and shouted, “I understand now, Liu Xian, stay here.” As he spoke, his fighting spirit surged, and he declared, “If you want to find the answer, the West belongs to my Shadow Kill!”
“Hmph, if you can give me the answer, then why not? If you cannot, I will kill you regardless,” Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said without hesitation.
“Your Majesty!”
“Heavenly Lord!!”
“It’s fine, let’s take a look first.”
“Boom!!”
In an instant, countless fortunes and merits surged forth, attacking Yang Chen.
“People of Shadow Kill, raise your right hands and give me strength—Open Heaven!!” Yang Chen shouted with intense fighting spirit. His voice echoed through every corner of the Demon God Continent.
“It is I; raise your right hands,” Great Unity Celestial Sovereign Liu Xian said at the right moment.
“Open Heaven? Celestial Emperor wants to Open Heaven? Quickly raise your hands to lend Celestial Emperor your strength.”
“Open Heaven?? Ha ha, the brilliance of my Shadow Kill is about to arrive!!”
“It is the King’s presence; the King wants us to raise our right hands, hurry up.”
“Raise your hands!!”
“…………”
“Roar!” “Roar!” Two enormous roars echoed as the golden Dragon of Fortune and the purple Dragon of Merit burst forth from the Divine Book, surging into Yang Chen's body. In an instant, Yang Chen's fighting spirit soared even higher.
“In ancient times, there was Pangu who opened up the heavens and the earth. Today, I shall emulate the ancient god Pangu and use the Heaven-Opening Axe to create!”
“Original Armor decompose and restore!” If the Ancient ten artifacts were intact, Yang Chen would never be able to decompose the Original Armor, as he had no confidence in what it would look like after decomposition. If he forcibly used the Pangu Axe, he feared he might not find his way home.
“Ding! Original Armor has been decomposed and restored into Qingtian Armor and Xuanwu Axe! Please choose one.”
“Xuanwu Axe!” Suddenly, a massive axe appeared in Yang Chen's right hand, towering like him, entirely black with golden dragon patterns around it. The axe head resembled an ancient tortoise, while the axe handle was the body of a serpent entwined around the Xuanwu.
“Ding! Restoration successful. Retaining Xuanwu Axe, generating Original Armor.”
“Ding! The effects of Xuanwu Axe and Original Armor do not stack; cooldown times do not overlap or conflict!”
“?? Ha ha!!” Faced with this sudden decomposition property, Yang Chen was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what had happened and laughed heartily.
“Xuanwu Axe: Transformed from the ancient spirit snake and Xuanwu. Upon use, it instantly enlarges the user, as if possessed by a deity or demon. The enlargement lasts for three minutes, granting immunity to all magical, martial arts, and combat technique damage; cooldown time is 24 hours.”
Yang Chen gripped the Xuanwu Axe with both hands and shouted loudly: “With my blade held horizontally against heaven and earth, I vow not to rest until I open up the sky!!” With that, he swung his arms fiercely as if slicing through an eggshell with all his strength, momentum, martial energy, vitality, fortune, merit, faith, courage, wisdom, and perseverance, ready to challenge the Heavenly Sovereign.
