Chapter 677 The Ancient Great Shaman, an unparalleled fierce man who dared to challenge the Heavenly
"Young man, do you know what you're saying?"
"This axe of mine once swung against the Heavenly Emperor, drank the blood of demon gods, and cleaved through the laws of heaven and earth. It is not a magic weapon; it is my comrade-in-arms and an extension of my will."
"You, a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal, what makes you think you're qualified to pick it up?"
Xing Tian's question, every word carrying unparalleled pressure, directly impacted Yang Jian's primordial spirit.
Yang Jian felt his very soul trembling, but he still straightened his spine and did not flinch in the slightest.
He knew that this was Xing Tian's test for him.
"I know that my cultivation is shallow."
Yang Jian raised his head, his gaze meeting those terrifying eyes with unwavering resolve, his voice strong and clear.
"But I also know that without the will to win, one cannot have an invincible army!"
"To save my mother, I am willing to defy the Heavenly Emperor and the entire Heavenly Court! Heaven and earth bear witness to my resolve, and the sun and moon bear witness to it! If I did not even have this much determination, I would not be worthy to stand here and speak with you, senior!"
"I need it!"
"I need a force, a force powerful enough to cleave through all obstacles and sever all shackles!"
"The battle axe of the senior is precisely the power that this junior needs! This junior believes that I am qualified to wield it, and I have the ability to make it shine with its due brilliance once again!"
Yang Jian's words were resounding, full of determination and confidence.
The valley fell into a long, deathly silence once again.
Xing Tian's deep eyes stared silently at Yang Jian, as if trying to see right through him to the very depths of his soul.
For a long, long time.
A sigh, seemingly from eternity ago, echoed softly.
"To save his mother, he defied the Heavenly Emperor..."
"Heh...you do have a bit of me back in the day..."
Xing Tian's voice had lost some of its imposing aura and gained more of a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
"Young man, I sense your determination."
"Fine."
"My comrade-in-arms has been silent for too long. It's time for him to go out and see some blood."
The moment the words fell.
Om-!
The entire altar suddenly trembled!
In front of Xing Tian's head, the void suddenly twisted without warning, and then a pitch-black crack appeared out of thin air.
A massive, ancient axe, heavy yet exuding an aura of endless malevolence, slowly emerged from the spatial rift.
This axe is dark red all over, as if it were soaked in the blood of countless gods and demons. There are no gorgeous patterns on the axe blade, only ancient and desolate engravings, recording its glorious past.
It hovered quietly in mid-air, without emitting any magical fluctuations, but its pure and sharp fighting spirit, which seemed to be able to split the heavens and the earth, made Yang Jian's skin feel a stinging sensation.
This is... the War God Axe!
Yang Jian's breathing became rapid instantly, and his eyes were fixed on the giant axe, unable to look away even a fraction.
He could feel the blood in his body boiling!
However, at that moment, Xing Tian's ancient voice rang out again, interrupting his actions.
"You can borrow the axe."
Yang Jian paused, looking at the enormous head on the altar.
Xing Tian spoke slowly.
"However, you need to agree to one condition."
coming.
Yang Jian felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Using such a powerful weapon for killing and destruction would surely come at a price.
He withdrew his hand and solemnly bowed to Xing Tian.
"Please speak, senior!"
"If it's within my capabilities, I will certainly not refuse!"
"it is good."
Xing Tian's voice became extremely solemn.
My conditions are very simple.
"Back then, I fought against the Demon Emperor Di Jun in the Heavenly Court. Exhausted, I was captured. That scruffy bird cut off my head and imprisoned it here, and then suppressed my body in another place."
"He thought that separating his head from his body would extinguish the fighting spirit of my witch clan. How laughable!"
Xing Tian's voice was filled with endless sarcasm and disdain.
"I need you. After I lend you my battle axe, in the future, when I have enough strength, help me find my suppressed body, reunite with my true form, and return to the primordial world!"
boom!
This condition struck Yang Jian like a thunderbolt!
Searching for Xing Tian's body?
Help him resurrect?
This...this is no longer a simple task!
This is simply defying the heavens!
Who is Xing Tian?
An ancient great shaman, an unparalleled figure who dared to challenge the Heavenly Emperor!
His resurrection will inevitably cause a violent upheaval in the Three Realms! At that time, I will probably have to face more than just Haotian.
Would the Taoist and Buddhist sects, or even the saints hidden behind the scenes, allow such an uncontrollable god of death to reappear in the world?
The cause and effect involved are too great and too heavy!
Yang Jian's heart was pounding.
He looked at the War God Axe before him, which exuded endless ferocity, and then at the pair of dark eyes staring at him from the altar.
On one side was the only hope of rescuing the mother.
On the other hand, there is an immense karmic burden, enough to crush anyone.
What should he choose?
If they refuse, they will not be able to obtain the War God Axe, and the rescue of their mother will be a distant dream.
If you agree...
In Yang Jian's mind, the image of his mother being suppressed under Peach Mountain, suffering endless loneliness and pain, appeared.
His eyes instantly became incredibly determined!
To hell with karma!
To hell with the chaos in the Three Realms!
As long as he can rescue his mother, let alone just help Xing Tian resurrect, even if it means making him an enemy of the entire Three Realms, what is there to fear!
"good!"
Yang Jian suddenly raised his head, his voice resolute and without the slightest hesitation.
"I, Yang Jian, hereby swear an oath!"
"Today I borrow your battle axe, senior; one day, I will surely help you find your true form and return to your peak!"
"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, my soul and spirit scattered, never to be reincarnated!"
As he uttered his vow, it seemed as if an invisible shackle bound him tightly to Xing Tian on the altar.
"Good! Good! Good!"
For the first time, Xing Tian's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
In those dark eyes, it seemed as if two flames were burning fiercely!
"No wonder he's Niu Ben's disciple! He has guts!"
"Since you have made a vow to uphold the Great Dao, then I naturally cannot be stingy!"
Xing Tian's voice rose in pitch.
"Then, this God of War will bestow upon you another opportunity!"
Opportunity?
Yang Jian was slightly taken aback, before he could react.
On the altar, a small crack suddenly appeared in the skin between the eyebrows of Xing Tian's enormous head.
A single drop, no bigger than a thumb, yet possessing an incredibly deep dark gold color, as if containing the blood of an entire universe, slowly seeped out from the crack.
The moment that drop of blood appeared, the air in the entire valley seemed to freeze.
That indomitable fighting spirit, that ancient and overwhelming pressure, was compressed to its limit at this moment, all converging into this tiny drop of blood.
Yang Jian only glanced at it, but he felt as if his primordial spirit was about to be torn apart by the terrifying power contained within!
"This is... a drop of my primordial essence blood."
Xing Tian's voice was weak, but more than that, it was filled with anticipation.
"Although you have cultivated the authentic Pangu Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and have a strong physical body, your cultivation level is still only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. My battle axe has too much malevolent energy. If you force it to be used with your current strength, not only will you not be able to unleash its full power, but you will also be backfired and damaged in your essence."
"Refine this drop of essence blood."
"It is enough to elevate your physical body to a higher level and greatly enhance your cultivation. Only then can you truly master it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the drop of dark golden blood essence transformed into a stream of light, ignoring the distance in space, and instantly shot towards Yang Jian's brow!
Yang Jian didn't have time to react at all; he only felt a chill between his brows.
next moment.
boom--!
An indescribable, extremely violent energy, like a chaotic sea bursting its banks, exploded within his body!
"ah--!"
Even with Yang Jian's resolute will, he couldn't help but let out a painful roar at this moment!
pain!
It fucking hurts!
The feeling was as if millions of invisible battle axes were wildly hacking and crashing into his body!
Every inch of his meridians, every bone, every drop of his blood was torn apart, shattered, and then reassembled again and again under the impact of this violent energy!
This kind of excruciating pain, originating from the deepest part of the body, is enough to break any Great Luo Golden Immortal!
But Yang Jian gritted his teeth and endured it!
He sat cross-legged and frantically began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.
The enormous vortex formed by the cultivation technique spun rapidly within his dantian, attempting to guide, absorb, and refine this violent energy!
Amidst that boundless pain, an unprecedented feeling of comfort also arose!
He could clearly feel that his physical body was becoming stronger at an unbelievable speed!
The already incredibly powerful physical body is undergoing a transformative metamorphosis under the tempering of this drop of Great Witch's blood essence!
The muscles became more defined!
The bones became stronger!
In his bloodline, there was an additional domineering and unyielding will belonging to the ancient great shaman!
His realm, which had just broken through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and was still somewhat unstable, was easily broken through by this enormous energy, as if it were made of paper!
Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
boom!
A terrifying aura, more than ten times stronger than before, surged into the sky from Yang Jian's body!
The entire valley trembled violently under the impact of this aura!
After an unknown amount of time, when Yang Jian opened his eyes again...
The violent energy within him had been completely refined and absorbed.
He slowly stood up and clenched his fist.
An unprecedented, powerful feeling filled his entire body.
He felt that he could shatter a star with a single punch!
Late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
Moreover, he possesses an incredibly solid foundation and a physical strength that even surpasses that of a typical peak Great Luo Golden Immortal—a truly terrifying existence!
Just a single drop of his essence blood caused such a dramatic change in his strength!
Is this the terror of the ancient great shaman?
Yang Jian was deeply shocked.
At that moment, as he completely refined that drop of essence blood, a wave of unfamiliar information surged into his mind.
That's neither a cultivation technique nor a supernatural power.
Instead, it consists of three simple, direct, and brutal axe techniques!
First move: Opening Heaven!
Second move: Earth Split!
The third move: Slaying Gods!
There are no complicated changes, no mysterious laws.
Yes, it's simply about concentrating power to its extreme and then striking out in the most direct way!
With a single swing of the axe, heaven and earth were cleaved!
Another axe blow, and the mountains and rivers crumbled!
The third axe blow will ward off gods and demons!
These three axe techniques seem to have been born for the War God Axe, perfectly matching the fierce weapon in his hand!
Yang Jian had a feeling that with his current strength, combined with the War God Axe, he could unleash these three axe techniques and even dare to challenge a quasi-saint level expert!
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"
Yang Jian suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply once again to Xing Tian on the altar.
This kindness is too heavy!
"You're welcome."
Xing Tian's voice sounded increasingly weak, and his eyes, which had been burning with flames, darkened again.
"The stronger you are, the greater my chances of resurrection will be. This is a deal."
"Take the axe with you."
"Remember your vow."
After saying this, Xing Tian's eyes, which had been slowly opening, closed tightly again.
The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire valley vanished without a trace.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
If it weren't for the War God Axe still hovering in mid-air and the surging power within him reminding him that all of this was real, he would have been completely mistaken.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and stepped forward.
He reached out, and this time, without any hindrance, he firmly grasped the handle of the War God Axe.
hum!
The moment he grasped the War God Axe, this weapon, silent for countless years, emitted an excited hum, and a feeling of blood connection arose spontaneously.
It has accepted its new owner!
"Momoyama..."
Holding the giant axe, Yang Jian felt the terrifying power contained within it, enough to cleave everything in two, and his eyes flashed with a brilliant light.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Without lingering, he transformed into a streak of light and burst out of the mysterious valley that had brought him such a tremendous opportunity.
He had to get to Taoshan as fast as he could to rescue his mother!
After leaving the territory of Buzhou Mountain, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became rich again.
Yang Jian transformed into a streak of light, swiftly traversing the clouds.
His cultivation level at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm allowed him to fly several times faster than before.
As he traveled, he felt the surging power within him, and his heart was filled with boundless pride.
This trip to Buzhou Mountain was incredibly rewarding!
Not only did he obtain the key to splitting Mount Peach—the War God Axe, but his own strength also underwent a tremendous increase.
Now, wielding the War God Axe, he is confident that even if Haotian himself came, he would be able to fight him!
As for that agreement with Xing Tian...
Yang Jian knew in his heart that it was a huge trouble, a cause and effect that could drag him into an endless vortex.
But so what?
That's for the future.
Right now, there is only one most important thing: to rescue my mother!
He is willing to pay any price for this goal!
Just as Yang Jian's thoughts were churning and he was rushing towards Taoshan at full speed.
His already incredibly powerful divine sense suddenly detected that, thousands of miles ahead, two extremely powerful auras were colliding violently!
That was... a battle at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Yang Jian frowned slightly, and his flight speed involuntarily slowed down.
In the present primordial Three Realms, although there are many powerful beings, the Great Luo Golden Immortals still stand at the top of the pyramid. Each one is a giant in their own right and they do not easily make a move.
Now, there are actually two Great Luo Golden Immortals fighting to the death here?
Are they from Heaven? Or from the Western Religion?
Several thoughts flashed through Yang Jian's mind in an instant.
