Chapter 1620: Ancient Mystery, New Era!

With the appearance of this axe, the Ancient God Aura spreading from it was vast like waves, rising up in a roar and sweeping the collapsing Sealed Realm Great Formation, causing the Formation to tremble even more violently.

The rumbling entered the ears, incessant. If one closed their eyes, they could seemingly feel the boundless slaughter carried out by this Sky-Opening Axe throughout the long ages. Countless spirits had perished beneath its blade over these countless years.

The moment the axe head appeared, Wang Lin stood before it. He faintly seemed to see countless illusory resentful souls. These souls blurred and shifted, emerging to coil around the Sky-Opening Axe. Amidst the roars accompanying the booming sounds, from a distance, it looked as if a patch of raised bumps had formed.

This scene was as if the axe was rolling up the dead spirits and arriving from Yellow Springs, its Aura astonishing!

After it appeared, it did not dissipate like the previous Seven Spirits. Instead, it floated in midair, becoming increasingly solid, as if a spirit resided within it, currently making a choice!

Was it choosing to recognize Wang Lin as its master, or choosing destruction of the artifact and annihilation of its spirit!

Time slowly flowed by. The rumbling of the Sealed Formation grew louder. Wang Lin waited for half an incense stick of time. Seeing that the Sky-Opening Axe was still floating motionless, he frowned, and a calm light shone in his eyes.

"If you are unwilling to follow me, Wang, then turn to smoke and vanish!" Wang Lin raised his right hand and pressed a palm directly toward the Sky-Opening Axe within the Sealed Realm Great Formation. The roar reverberated, and the entire Formation began to collapse again. Following its breakdown, the Sky-Opening Axe trembled, its massive body spun, and it shot straight toward Wang Lin.

Suddenly, the Sky-Opening Axe seemed to break free from the Sealed Formation. The moment it neared Wang Lin, it abruptly lifted, and a world-shaking howl erupted above Wang Lin before it suddenly chopped down toward him!

"A mere Magical Artifact of the Ancient God Royal Clan dares to harm me!" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He took a step forward, and his figure shimmered and swelled up entirely. In an instant, he reached a size of a thousand zhang, transforming into his Ancient God True Body!

His thousand-zhang body was like a giant, standing tall in the starry sky, positioned upon the Sealed Realm Formation. The moment the Sky-Opening Axe howled toward him, Wang Lin immediately raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and delivered a mighty strike toward the axe head.

A colossal noise spread wildly, causing the starry sky to tremble. The Sealed Realm Great Formation collapsed layer by layer, and large sections of the net were violently shattered. Even the Sky-Opening Axe, after a tremor, was unable to chop down. Instead, it roared and recoiled, directly bounced upward by the immense force transmitted from Wang Lin's fist.

But Wang Lin was also not unscathed. His body stumbled back several hundred zhang. A massive, bone-deep wound appeared on his clenched right hand. Even the bone inside the wound had fractured. That Sky-Opening Axe was incredibly powerful!

As he retreated, a sharp light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. While the injury on his right hand rapidly healed, he grabbed into the Void Realm. bloody light surged skyward, and the Blood Sword appeared directly in his hand. With a shake, the sword howled and instantly transformed into a hundred zhang long weapon. The bloody light was dazzling, enveloping all directions.

Holding the Blood Sword, Wang Lin’s body flashed forward. He raised the Blood Sword high with his right hand and slashed downward. Sword Qi roared, and the bloody Sword Light shot out, heading straight for the Sky-Opening Axe.

Both of these were treasures capable of destroying anything. When they clashed, bursts of roaring sounds immediately erupted. Amidst the booms, the sword and the axe continuously collided, but the Sky-Opening Axe was slightly inferior. After all, it was not controlled by a person but moved autonomously by its Artifact Spirit. After a moment, amidst the echoing booms, it was steadily forced backward!

Furthermore, lines of sword marks appeared on the axe body, and the light emanating from within the axe dimmed and flickered erratically.

"I give you one more choice: recognize me as your master!" Wang Lin lowered his sword and let out a low shout.

With a boom, the axe head trembled, spun backward, and when it landed in the Void Realm, another crash was heard, and the starry sky was torn open by a huge Rift.

The Blood Sword in Wang Lin’s right hand flashed and instantly dissipated. At the same time, Wang Lin took a step forward, instantly arriving next to the Sky-Opening Axe. The moment the axe flew up from the Rift, and the vast Ancient God Power spread from it, he grabbed the axe handle!

With this grasp, Wang Lin gripped tightly with his right hand. No matter how the Sky-Opening Axe struggled, it could not escape his hold. But right then, a phantom of the Ancient God suddenly emerged from the axe head. This Phantom of the Ancient God roared out from within the axe. Its appearance was indistinct, but it howled like a fierce wind, rushing toward Wang Lin's face, seemingly trying to devour him.

Viewing it from afar, this scene was clearly visible: the phantom on the axe head, rooted in the axe, reached several thousand zhang in height, immensely large and conical in shape. The higher it rose, the bigger it became, like smoke spreading from a chimney, expanding countless times once it reached high altitude.

This vague, phantom figure was precisely the Sky-Opening Axe's Artifact Spirit. It bent over, spread its hands, and lunged toward Wang Lin below amidst continuous howls and low roars.

In front of it, Wang Lin's thousand-zhang body looked like the difference between a youth and an adult, seemingly unable to resist. But Wang Lin glared, and let out a great roar toward the charging phantom.

"How dare you!! I am a Royal Clan Ancient God, bearing the dao ancient Legacy. If you try to devour me, you are courting death!" With this great roar, the dao ancient Head instantly manifested behind Wang Lin, opening its terrifying maw and roaring along with Wang Lin!

It was as if a hurricane swept through the starry sky, blowing onto the Sky-Opening Axe's phantom. The phantom immediately shrieked. Its body seemed extremely fearful, trembling as it retreated violently, instantly shattering into pieces, only to reform once more.

After reforming, it trembled, struggling as it clasped its hands and bowed toward Wang Lin. Its body rapidly shrank, eventually completely merging back into the Sky-Opening Axe and vanishing.

The Sky-Opening Axe stopped struggling and slowly calmed down.

Wang Lin held the axe, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which transformed into a bloody Seal that abruptly fell onto the axe body. The mark flashed, merged into the axe, and disappeared.

Looking at the Sky-Opening Axe that had submitted in his hand, this time, he had relied entirely on his own strength to forcibly suppress and subdue it. He remembered that back then, with his cultivation, he couldn't have achieved this at all; he could only barely control the axe with the help of the previous generation's Sealed Venerable.

Holding the massive axe, his white hair fluttering, Wang Lin at this moment was virtually indistinguishable from the statue on the Vermilion Bird Star!

With a wave of his right hand, the Sky-Opening Axe transformed into specks of glittering light, merging directly into Wang Lin's glabella and vanishing.

Looking down at the collapsing Sealed Realm Great Formation below, a strange light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes. This Sealed Formation had a total of Nine Spirits, the last of which was the most powerful. Back then, the Sealed Venerable had merged into this Spirit to control the Formation.

But as a gap appeared in the Formation back then, and as that series of events occurred, the Sealed Venerable's soul completely died, causing the last Spirit of the Sealed Formation to seemingly lose some vitality as well.

The near-death state of the Sealed Formation was also related to this matter.

Raising his right hand, his five fingers formed a palm. Toward the Sealed Realm Great Formation, Wang Lin executed the final Karma Seal. This seal emerged, merged into his palm, and as it fell through the Void Realm, he fiercely clenched his hand into a fist.

The collapsing Sealed Realm Great Formation emitted its loudest sound. The entire great Formation seemed to be making its final death throes. Amidst the violent tremors, a shattered jade pendant was slowly and forcibly pulled out from within the Formation.

There were deep cracks covering this jade pendant. There were more than ten such cracks, one of which had clearly appeared just a century ago, lacking the ancient, weathered Aura compared to the others.

Despite having so many cracks, one could still see a single character engraved upon the jade pendant!

The character had simple strokes. It was none other than the character "Immortal"!

Immortal!

As this jade pendant was pulled out by Wang Lin's Karma Seal, the Sealed Realm Great Formation began its final disintegration. The booming was constant, and the nets covering the Inner Realm's Four Great Star Domains collapsed layer by layer!

This collapse was complete, total, and irreversible!

Following its collapse, all the remaining Cultivators within the Four Great Star Domains were utterly shocked where they stood. They personally witnessed the starry sky seeming to be swept up, emitting endless roars, as the Sealed Realm Great Formation—which had imprisoned the Inner Realm for countless millions of years—was being pulverized!

Within the Cloud Sea Star Domain, Mu Bingmei, the Pink-robed Woman, and Xizi Feng—the three women—had transformed into three long rainbows, gathering together and pausing in the starry sky. They were still some distance away from Wang Lin.

But at this moment, the collapse of the Sealed Realm Great Formation prevented them from moving forward. Standing together, watching the massive nets in the starry sky shatter beneath their feet, the shock transmitted to their spirits caused the faces of the three women to turn pale.

Wang Lin gazed at the jade pendant. After a moment of silence, he waved his right hand forward. With this wave, the jade pendant completely flew out from within the Sealed Realm Great Formation. The instant it separated from the Formation, it was like a tree without roots or a fish out of water. With a loud crash, it shattered into pieces, completely turning into dust.

Following the shattering of the jade pendant, the Sealed Realm Great Formation before Wang Lin violently collapsed!

At this moment, the Kunxu Star Domain was no longer encircled by the Sealed Realm Great Formation. In this instant, the Zhaoge Star Domain was completely revealed amidst the Outer Realm's Primordial Stars.

In this split second, Luotian and Cloud Sea were completely liberated!

The Inner Realm and the Outer Realm, after countless millions of years, were today without any obstruction, merging into one! The Sealed Realm Great Formation, which seemed eternally present and had become a memory for generations, collapsed, disintegrated, and vanished into thin air at this moment!

Without the Sealed Realm Great Formation, the strange power that prevented the Inner Realm from gathering Incense Power also dissipated. In this instant, all the mighty experts of the Luotian Star Domain showed looks of excitement, and Qing Lin was no exception.

Destroying the Sealed Realm Great Formation—Wang Lin had accomplished it!

From ancient times until now, he was the first person to achieve such a feat, the first person with such courage and ambition to collapse the Sealed Realm Great Formation after slaughtering the invading Cultivators from the Outer Realm!

His name was destined to be passed down through the Cultivation World for millions of years, because he was the Sealed Venerable—not the Sealed Venerable of the Seven Dao Sect, nor a subordinate of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, but the Realm Venerable who was preparing to lead the Inner Realm Cultivators out of this Immortal Cave and shake the Immortal Astral!
