NOVPUBWith a resounding "clang", the sound echoed through the three realms, causing numerous demons and spirits to flee in terror, this sound capable of warding off evil and subduing demons.
Countless immortals opened their eyes, hearing the Human Path scream, their hearts suddenly tightened, this was the sound of an era coming to an end.
The robust sound continually echoed in the ears of cultivators across the three realms, as if it were the bell of the times. The spectral images of the human sages began to appear around Huaguo Mountain, reciting their principles and explaining the Great Dao that belonged solely to them.
The spectral image of Jixia Academy began to appear overhead, and the endless fortune and destiny of the Human Path continuously emerged within Lu Yu, signifying the will of the Human Path and also the support of the human sages.
At this moment, countless people's minds were filled with new knowledge, as the sages' principles spread across the three realms.
Massive flames enveloped Huaguo Mountain, causing numerous demons to marvel and countless cultivators to be shocked.
This sound rang out for forty-nine days, and then a giant axe appeared in the void above, carrying boundless might. Seeing it was like seeing the hardships and trials the human race had endured, witnessing countless forebears shed blood and sacrifice their lives for the prosperity of the human race, and seeing many sages light the torch of civilization in the darkness to illuminate the path forward for future generations.
This was a weapon of the Human Path, condensed with the beliefs of the Human Path, and upon seeing it, all cultivators of the three realms couldn't help but be profoundly moved. This was the power of the Human Path, a force capable of changing heaven and earth.
"What a divine weapon!"
At the same time, saints who had not appeared for a long time descended their spectral images, blessing this newly formed weapon.
"Indeed, a remarkable divine weapon, with saints chanting the Dao, and all saints sending blessings," the Emperor of Fengdu muttered to himself as he watched the axe in the present world from within the Underworld.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sea, Ao Guang trembled in fear upon seeing the axe take its form, sensing the terrifying power hidden within it, guessing that few in the three realms could withstand a single strike from this axe.
Countless patterns appeared on the floating axe in the air, depicting the hardships the human race had endured, including Suiren drilling wood to make fire, Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, and Fuxi by the Wei River perceiving the Eight Trigrams.
Chenxiang merely glanced at the weapon and fell in love with it, his heart stirring with the urge to rush forward and seize the axe. Fortunately, having gone through so many trials, his resolve had greatly increased, and he soon suppressed such impulsive thoughts.
Lu Yu looked at the weapon and let out a sigh of relief, having finally lived up to expectations and forged the axe that could open the heavens, now only one step remained.
The Treasure Vase floated in the void above, spiritual water gushing from its mouth to pour over the weapon, intense mist started to fill the air. A strong wind swept through, dispersing the white mist, revealing a golden axe shining with multicolored light between the heavens and the earth.
"The time has come, isn't Chenxiang going to make his move?" Lu Yu's voice echoed between heaven and earth.
At that, Chenxiang's face lit up with joy, no longer able to contain his excitement, he leapt into the air and grabbed the axe. It shimmered with light, seemingly reluctant to be mastered by Chenxiang.
In an instant, countless memories of the hardships the human race had faced flashed through Chenxiang's mind, he empathized deeply, resonating with the spirits of the forebears.
Born among the common folk and accustomed to hardships, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles, crossed oceans, and was taught by Lu Yu himself, absorbing the thoughts of the forebears.
The once shimmering weapon then calmed down, completely mastered by Chenxiang.
Chenxiang let out a long howl, seeming to vent all the frustrations in his heart, he had waited too long for this day. He looked towards the direction of Mountain Hua, his eyes blazing with fire.
Using the Law of Heaven and Earth, he transformed into a giant, his weapon transforming along with him. With a single step, he seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived above Mountain Hua.
Chen Xiang, holding the Giant Axe with warlike fervor, was searching for his uncle's figure, wishing to battle him. However, Yang Jian did not show himself.
"Where is Yang Jian?" Chen Xiang bellowed, but received no response.
Yang Jian did not wish to face his nephew in battle, as his mission had already been completed.
Chen Xiang was about to continue searching for Yang Jian when he heard Lu Yu's voice: "Do not delay, split the mountain to save your mother!"
Only then did Chen Xiang remember his primary mission. Looking toward the peak of Mountain Hua, his eyes shot out golden beams. He saw the mountain tightly entwined in dense chains, with a majestic and terrifying aura lingering around it.
This was the manifestation of the Heavenly Stripes, the rules of the Three Realms that had protected the world for long epochs. Unfortunately, they had now become abandoned by the times.
If the Heavenly Stripes had life, they might have accused the beings of betrayal after crossing the river, but they were just cold, merciless rules unable to voice their own plaints.
Chen Xiang leapt high, his eyes blazing with determination. He swung his axe down fiercely, and a loud crash echoed through the Three Realms. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
The towering Mountain Hua instantly split into two, and the Heavenly Stripes wrapped around it shattered.
In the Heavenly Court, the central Investiture of the Gods suddenly broke apart. Numerous immortals and Star Lords felt a lightness overtake them, free from their bonds, and they burst out in laughter. Amid their laughter, a giant turtle-like island materialized out of thin air in the eastern sea—it was Jindao Island.
"Fellow brothers, it is time to return!" A light laughter sounded.
Numerous immortals left the Heavenly Court for the sect of interception, leaving the Heavenly Court seemingly empty.
The Jade Emperor watched coldly and did not intervene. He had foreseen this day, and though he had been planning for many years, he was not afraid. Furthermore, with All Saints transcended, there was no longer any pressure on him, allowing him to flex his powers freely.
Numerous immortals descended to earth, their stars falling like rain. The once bright sky was now filled with falling meteors.
Countless people watched this unprecedented sight in fear, unable to help but worry.
Yet, they had no time to pray or escape, as a strong wave of drowsiness swept over them, compelling them to fall into a deep sleep.
All the mortals were enclosed in a white glow, forming a barrier that protected them.
The Three Realms began to tremble intensely, numerous famous mountains and great rivers radiated brilliant lights. The lights converged in the sky, forming the phantom of a big mountain—it was the manifestation of the Spiritual Charm emerging from mountains, with numerous cultivators quietly waiting within.
The whole world seemed to become an illusion; the once blue sky disappeared, only darkness remained, and outside was the deepest Chaos.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot up into the sky, and the world began to collapse. This was All Saints leaving this world, their strength so immense that every move they made caused the world to tremble and collapse accelerated.
Soon, All Saints entered the Chaos, their colossal figures seemingly spanning heaven and earth.
