Undying Life

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: The Heaven-Opening Palm

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The red tail of Ba Ji Tianwei pierced through Kunpeng's mighty wing, a defense of celestial shield level, yet it was penetrated by Ba Ji Tianwei's tail?

The red tail withdrew, bringing with it a gush of Kunpeng's blood.

The extreme pain caused Kunpeng's body to tremble violently, shaking the entire Beiming World. The Beiming Sea below surged upwards, with the Black Sea's waters roaring towards the sky.

The violent tremors flung Ba Ji Tianwei away.

Kunpeng, three thousand miles long, was ultimately too vast for Ba Ji Tianwei, who was only two thousand miles, to fully entangle. The massive shake dislodged Ba Ji Tianwei.

Kunpeng, having shaken off Ba Ji Tianwei, wore a fierce and enraged expression. The earlier fear had vanished, and Ba Ji Tianwei showed no fear either. The blood-red tail, now resembling the Immortal Slayer Sword, seemed to carry its terrifying power, making Ba Ji Tianwei formidable.

Though Ba Ji Tianwei's overall strength might not match Kunpeng's, the red tail, akin to a scorpion's stinger with the Immortal Slayer Sword's power, rendered Ba Ji Tianwei fearless!

The two colossal beasts clashed fiercely.

As Ba Ji Tianwei struck with its tail, Zhong Shan charged at Tian Xiaozi.

The two Heaven Tier geniuses engaged in a heated battle.

Tian Xiaozi, a true genius of the Tian family, wielded numerous ancestral treasures, often bearing celestial artifacts in battle.

Zhong Shan's 'Heavenly Slash! Thousand Waves!' was incredibly powerful, having shattered a celestial artifact with one stroke earlier. This display of power made Tian Xiaozi take Zhong Shan seriously, not daring to underestimate him.

At this moment, Tian Xiaozi was equipped with a new celestial artifact, prepared to face Zhong Shan's saber. But Zhong Shan had put away his saber and attacked with his strange hands?

Tian Xiaozi wielded a celestial sword!

The Tian Family Patriarch's sword, the Tian Vein Sword!

The Tian Vein Sword, a relic from the founder of the Tian family in the underworld, was a true celestial sword!

Tian Xiaozi thrust the sword forward, the powerful Tian Vein Sword aiming straight at Zhong Shan.

A ten-thousand-zhang sword aura, vast and sharp, surged towards Zhong Shan. Though not as monstrous as the Immortal Slayer Sword, its momentum was comparable.

Facing this strike, Tian Xiaozi expected Zhong Shan to dodge, even planning the sword's movements.

But Zhong Shan did not dodge. Instead, he extended his right palm, transforming it into a blade, and met the sword head-on.

As the palm struck out, a massive palm blade shadow appeared in the void, surrounded by endless runes and shrouded in mist, looking unreal.

The sword aura and the palm blade shadow collided.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a loud bang, Tian Xiaozi was forced back a hundred zhang, while Zhong Shan stood still.

One palm had neutralized the Tian Vein Sword's sword aura. Zhong Shan frowned slightly at the Tian Vein Sword. How powerful was this sword?

Zhong Shan was puzzled, but Tian Xiaozi was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could this be? How was Zhong Shan's palm so powerful? This was a celestial sword!

Impossible, Tian Xiaozi refused to believe it. He swung his sword again, unleashing another extreme sword force straight at Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan's hands, sometimes turning into palm blades, sometimes into fists, clashed fiercely with the Tian Vein Sword again and again.

"Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~!"

From sword aura against shadow to the final clash of Zhong Shan's palm and the Tian Vein Sword's blade, each strike saw the Tian Vein Sword repelled without success.

Zhong Shan was growing more exhilarated with each clash, while Tian Xiaozi was becoming increasingly fearful!

Those palms? How could there be such powerful hands in the world? Hands that rival celestial artifacts?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Tian Xiaozi's heart was filled with endless terror. He thrust his sword again, and they both retreated, with Tian Xiaozi staring in horror at Zhong Shan's rune-covered hands from afar.

Tian Xiaozi struggled to calm his scattered thoughts, forcing himself to remain composed. What was going on?

Calming down, Tian Xiaozi tested with another strike of the Tian Vein Sword.

Zhong Shan responded with another palm strike!

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Another palm shadow appeared in the void, surrounded by endless rune shadows, which then dispersed and faded away.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Tian Xiaozi's mind, and he looked at Zhong Shan with extreme disbelief.

"Runes? Runes? Those are the runes from the Heaven-Opening Axe! My family has records, those are the runes from the Heaven-Opening Axe! That's the Heaven-Opening Axe!" Tian Xiaozi exclaimed, pointing at Zhong Shan's hands.

The runes on Zhong Shan's hands shimmered faintly, glowing with silver light and surrounded by white mist, appearing incredibly mysterious.

Hearing Tian Xiaozi's exclamation, Zhong Shan smiled calmly, "The Tian family indeed has a long heritage, to even know this."

"The Heaven-Opening Axe, is it really the Heaven-Opening Axe? Impossible! When the ancient divine power perished, the soul of the Heaven-Opening Axe scattered into the world. Even if the ancient divine power were to be resurrected, he would never retrieve it. How do you have the Heaven-Opening Axe? How is it possible?" Tian Xiaozi screamed.

"The Heaven-Opening Axe, where did it come from?" Zhong Shan asked with a smile.

"The Heaven-Opening Axe, it's said to be a form of heavenly law bestowed by the grand world, condensed into an axe shape and falling into the small world, awaiting someone with great fortune to open a new small world. Once its owner dies, it dissipates into the heavens and earth, to reappear after tens of thousands of years. It has been passed down through ancient times," Tian Xiaozi explained.

"So you know it's a heavenly law bestowed by the grand world? When the ancient divine power perished, the Heaven-Opening Axe scattered into the world. But who said it has to wait for ten thousand years to reappear?" Zhong Shan smiled.

"It reappeared early?" Tian Xiaozi was startled.

Perhaps it was the grand world's heavenly law at work. The external world had already seen the grand opening phenomenon, attracting numerous forces from the grand world, and the Heaven-Opening Axe within this small world must have reappeared early.

"What do you think?" Zhong Shan replied.

"You actually obtained it? You are the person with great fortune? Why? Why not me!" Tian Xiaozi's eyes turned red with anger.

"You don't have enough fortune!" Zhong Shan retorted.

Tian Xiaozi glared at Zhong Shan with red eyes. Indeed, only a person with great fortune could obtain the Heaven-Opening Axe. Zhong Shan's fortune was too deep.

"Don't get too cocky. Throughout history, you are not the only one to have obtained the Heaven-Opening Axe. But none of them succeeded in opening the heavens. Moreover, every one of them, even those with great fortune, met a terrible end, their bodies and souls destroyed! Even before the ancient divine power, each one who obtained the Heaven-Opening Axe saw their fortune exhausted, the axe seized by others, and met a grim fate!" Tian Xiaozi said with jealousy.

"You are right. They all met grim ends. But what if I succeed in opening the heavens?" Zhong Shan said with a faint smile.

"Succeed in opening the heavens? Impossible. Even the ancient divine power did not succeed. How could you?" Tian Xiaozi sneered.

"I am different from him!" Zhong Shan shook his head.

Seeing Zhong Shan's confidence, Tian Xiaozi's pupils suddenly contracted. Something was wrong; Zhong Shan was not wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe but a pair of hands.

"You, where is your Heaven-Opening Axe? You turned the Heaven-Opening Axe into your hands? What are you trying to do?" Tian Xiaozi suddenly screamed.

"I don't want to return it to the heavens!" Zhong Shan replied with a wicked smile, stepping forward and rushing towards Tian Xiaozi.

Not wanting to return it to the heavens? Such arrogant words could only come from Zhong Shan.

The Heaven-Opening Axe, a 'heavenly law guide' bestowed by the grand world, wielded immense power. The Heaven-Opening Axe was ultimately an external object; once someone succeeded in opening the heavens, it would inevitably be reclaimed by the grand world and dissipate.

How could Zhong Shan bear to part with such a treasure?

The grand world chose Zhong Shan, bestowing upon him this fortune. Upon obtaining the Heaven-Opening Axe's soul, Zhong Shan's first instinct was to claim it for himself. If he failed to open the heavens, it would vanish; if he succeeded, it would still be reclaimed.

Once it was in Zhong Shan's possession, how could he let it go? Zhong Shan's immediate reaction was to fully refine it.

Regardless of what kind of treasure it was refined into, it would eventually be reclaimed. Zhong Shan was unwilling to accept this, so he decided to refine it into his body, making it a part of himself.

The Heaven-Opening Axe's soul, though the weakest form of a 'heavenly law guide,' was still too powerful for a mortal body to withstand. However, Zhong Shan was an exception. The Heaven Demon Body Tempering Technique could temporarily boost his strength, but its true purpose was tempering the body. At its sixth level, Zhong Shan's body was as strong as an immortal's, invincible.

Even so, Zhong Shan had to borrow the Da Jin Empire's national fortune to fully refine the Heaven-Opening Axe's soul.

These hands, now transformed into heaven-opening divine artifacts, were unparalleled!

Zhong Shan was determined to keep the Heaven-Opening Axe!

This was the first time Zhong Shan had used it in battle, and it left Tian Xiaozi deeply shaken.

Zhong Shan knew Tian Xiaozi well. His ambition was the greatest in the Tian family's history, and with such ambition, he would never reveal Zhong Shan's secret. If he did, countless powerful beings would swarm to the Da Jin Empire, and Tian Xiaozi's ambitions would be completely thwarted.

"Boom!" Zhong Shan struck again with his palm.

The solid hand, now infused with the Heaven-Opening Axe, carried an even sharper and more unstoppable momentum. This strike was like a divine weapon cleaving through the heavens, invincible.

Of course, even with the Heaven-Opening Axe's soul, his hands were not at their strongest. Even the ancient divine power had not reached its ultimate strength with the Heaven-Opening Axe's soul without years of sacrifice.

However, with the Heaven-Opening Axe's soul, a heavenly guide, these hands would continue to grow stronger without any bottleneck, reaching new heights with each strike, embodying the act of opening the heavens.

"I call these hands 'Heaven-Opening Palms,'" Zhong Shan laughed.

His right hand formed a palm blade and struck towards Tian Xiaozi again, clashing with the Tian Vein Sword.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The Tian Vein Sword trembled and deflected to the side.

"Snap!"

Zhong Shan's left hand caught the Tian Vein Sword.

Tian Xiaozi's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. The famed celestial sword, which had never met its match, was now firmly in Zhong Shan's grasp. The Heaven-Opening Palms, forged from the soul of the Heaven-Opening Axe, had proven to be an unparalleled force, marking Zhong Shan as a true master of divine power and a force to be reckoned with in the world.
