C1838 Gift-ax
C1838 Gift-ax
Waves of shock surged through their hearts as they truly felt the pride and determination of this young man.
Even though he knew that he couldn't be a match, he wouldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Being fearless in the face of danger and being able to face it head-on was not something that could be accomplished with a high cultivation realm. Rather, it depended on one's personality and determination.
Only a person who could put everything on the line and put everything on the line would be able to do such a shocking thing. None of the others would be able to do it.
BOOM! The Devil Dao's palm print and the axe light clashed in the air, the axe light released a dazzling radiance, trying to break the palm print, but the palm print was formed from the convergence of countless Evil' Will, it was extremely terrifying, in just an instant, the axe light was destroyed by the rolling Evil' Will.
In that instant, the devilish palm pierced through the air, directly landing on the young man's head.
In the next moment, it was as if he wanted to kill the young man.
"Hiss!" Many people could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as they turned their heads to look in another direction, not daring to look at the bloody scene.
A look of pity appeared on Ji Wenyuan's face as he lowered his head. He silently mourned for the young man in his heart. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said those words. He actually caused that young man's death.
Yan Qingyun's heart was beating rapidly, and her face was a little pale. She was a woman after all, and naturally couldn't bear to see such a bloody and brutal scene.
However, Qin Xuan did not avert his gaze. He stared intently at the figure of the young man in front of him. He had a faint intuition that he would not die.
"Bam." A deafening sound echoed out, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble. Was he dead?
Qin Xuan looked at the scene in front of him and a profound look flashed across his eyes.
Only to see several figures raising their heads, staring straight ahead as their expressions froze. Their faces were filled with astonishment. "He's not dead yet?"
A tall and straight figure appeared in their line of sight, it was the young man from Devil Dao. He was actually not killed by the devilish palm, and the devilish palm had disappeared without a trace.
"How is this possible?" When Ji Wenyuan saw that the person was still standing there, his eyes also revealed a look of astonishment.
However, he was still a prince, so he quickly calmed down. The power of the demonic palm was extremely strong, but it did not harm that person in the slightest. That meant that the demonic palm did not harm him!
Then what was that loud sound just now?
A bold thought arose in his mind. Could it be that the demonic palm had already dissipated?
While many people were puzzled about this, an incomparably rich devil aura was being released from the demon axe.
Following which, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the crowd. He was tall and mighty, with a square face, revealing a stern look.
"Ancestor?" Ji Wenyuan looked at the middle-aged man, his heart quivering uncontrollably.
Was this the ancestor who did not want to harm his clan?
The middle-aged man's gaze landed on the young man in front of him. A hint of gratification appeared in his eyes as he spoke, "You're not bad. In all these years, you've been the only one who has met my requirements. This Battling Demonic Ax, I'll give it to you."
"Many thanks for the gift, senior." The young man clasped his hands towards the middle-aged man.
Many people stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. What was going on? Didn't they say earlier that they had not fulfilled the requirements? Why did they say now that they had?
Yan Qingyun blinked her beautiful eyes, as if she had understood something. She turned to Qin Xuan and asked, "You already knew that?"
"It's just a guess. I'm not completely sure." Qin Xuan replied softly. No one could say such a thing for sure.
After all, everyone had different personalities. If the owner of the axe was truly ruthless, then at that moment, the young man no longer existed.
"Ancestor, what is going on?" At this moment, Ji Wenyuan couldn't help but ask. He didn't understand what his ancestor's intention was.
"You're someone from the dynasty?" The middle-aged man looked at Ji Wenyuan and asked.
"I am the third prince of the Great Qi Empire, Ji Wenyuan." The person standing in front of him was the ancestor of the Da Qi Kingdom, a person who once possessed an unparalleled talent.
The middle-aged man looked at Ji Wenyuan, lightly nodded and said, "He's the one who looks like me the most out of all the other people who want to take the axe. I'll only be at ease if I hand the axe over to him."
"The most similar person?" Ji Wenyuan was stunned. Thinking about what his ancestor asked him earlier, he seemed to have understood something for a moment.
So those words were merely a test of his dao heart, a test for him.
In the past, his ancestor had lost his life to save his people. Thus, his ancestor wanted to find someone who was similar to him.
This way, even if one day he went berserk, he would still be able to resolve himself and not harm the innocent. If it were anyone else with weaker will than him, they might have fallen into the Devil Dao, and the resulting massacre would be hard to imagine.
It had to be said that the ancestor was extremely thoughtful. With just his words and actions, it was very difficult to determine whether a person had the courage or not. Only by forcing a person into a desperate situation could one see through their true nature.
"What's your name?" The middle-aged man suddenly looked at the young man and asked.
"Chu Kaitian." The young man cupped his hands and said.
"Kai Tian, what a domineering name! This axe's name is Zhan Tian, and it suits your name quite well!" The middle-aged man laughed as he praised Ji Wenyuan. It seemed that the ancestor was very satisfied with him and wanted to pass the battling Heavenly Demon Axe to him. This was a special honor that no one in the Da Qi Kingdom possessed.
"Thank you, senior." Chu Kaitian cupped his hands again, but his face did not have much of a change, it was just an expression from beginning to end, causing people to not be able to see what he was thinking.
However, the middle-aged man didn't seem to care. He continued, "This Battling Sky Demon Axe is an ancient saint artifact. With your current cultivation, you still aren't able to unleash its true might. But later on, my remnant soul will merge with it and become the artifact spirit to aid you in using this axe."
"The ancestor isn't going to stay in the dynasty?" Ji Wenyuan couldn't help but ask. What kind of peerless figure was his ancestor? He was actually willing to become an artifact spirit?
"The Battling Demon Axe followed me for my entire life, and at that time, I accidentally went berserk, so I couldn't use this axe to climb to the peak of martial arts and see the scenery at the highest point. But I still hope that one day, someone will fulfill my long-cherished wish, and I will be able to see the peak of martial arts along with the artifact spirit of this axe!"
The middle-aged man had a brilliant smile on his face as he spoke with a sonorous and impassioned tone, exuding a hot-blooded and heroic aura. Even though he had already fallen many years ago, he still had some expectations towards the peak of the martial way.
Therefore, he was willing to become an artifact spirit and follow the master of the Battling Sky Demon Axe to witness the peak of the martial path.
The crowd was unable to calm down for a long time after they heard these words. It was only at this moment that they truly realized just what kind of peerless character this senior was. His determination in the dao was far beyond what they could compare.
Qin Xuan was also deeply moved. To be able to reach such a high level of existence, the dao heart was indestructible and unshakable. They had lived for countless years and had already seen through everything. They knew what they wanted the most.
He could hear the sound of the wind and knew that he was going to die soon.
His obsession with the Dao was truly touching.
"You can take this Battling Sky Demon Axe." The middle-aged man said to Chu Kaitian, then looked at Ji Wenyuan and said, "From now on, he is my half disciple. If he is in trouble, the Da Qi Kingdom needs to do their best to help."
"I shall follow the orders of my ancestor." Ji Wenyuan nodded as he stared at the figure in front of him, feeling a faint sense of sadness in his heart. From now onwards, his ancestor would probably never appear again.
Many people looked at Chu Kaitian with a trace of envy in their eyes. This fellow's luck was simply too heaven defying. Not only had he obtained a powerful saint artifact, but he had also formed a good relationship with the Da Qi Kingdom.
Although he might be able to help the Da Qi Kingdom when he becomes strong in the future, it was the greatest benefit to him now.
"I hope that you will not disappoint my expectations. Hold the Heavenly Demon Axe and ascend to the peak of martial arts!"
The middle-aged man looked deeply at Chu Kai. After he finished speaking, his body gradually became illusory, transforming into countless streams of Devil Dao Qi, rushing into the Battling Demon Axe.
In that moment, the Battling Sky Demon Axe released an incomparably glaring devil light, as though a powerful force had revived. The monstrous Evil' Will released its spirit energy, and the chains that were locking the axe began to shake violently, emitting a metallic sound, as it reverberated in the air above the Ancient Royal City, as if it was being heard in every nook and cranny.
"What happened?"
At the same time, countless people in the Ancient Royal City inclined their heads, staring at the skies. In a certain direction, a towering Evil' Will soared into the skies, as though it wanted to pierce through the heavens. Their faces all revealed expressions of shock.
Within a palace in the depths of the Ancient Royal City, an august figure sitting on a dragon throne suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp glint of light flickered in his eyes. Sure enough, someone wanted to snatch it away?
A hundred thousand feet long divine light burst out from his body. Space rippled as his body disappeared from where he stood.
In another palace, a young man was cultivating. He wore a five clawed dragon robe and the lines on his face were clear. His aura was even more outstanding than Ji Wenyuan's.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, following which, he saw the scene of the Battling Sky Demon Axe. Many people were gathered there.
Seeing the terrifying Evil' Will released from the Battle-axe, the chain trembled non-stop, as though it was going to break apart. His eyes flashed with a sharp look, had the person royal father was talking about arrived?
He stood up, and with a single step, he appeared outside the palace. He continued to walk in the air, as though he was directly crossing the distance between Endless Space, leaving behind afterimages.
