Chapter 578: Seventy Thousand Years Old, sky-opening axe

Venerable Xuandu withdrew his gaze, faced the Saints, and said leisurely, "Regarding the death of Li Muyi, I have my own conclusion. The top priority is to stabilize the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. Recently, the fortune of the Heavenly Dao has been in turmoil, and order needs to be consolidated. For the time being, no further turmoil is allowed."

The Saints breathed a sigh of relief; this statement completely aligned with their intentions.

They certainly did not want to fight to the death with Han Jue.

They even felt that Han Jue was no weaker than Venerable Xuandu.

The result also proved this point, as Venerable Xuandu did not dare to contend with him.

Afterwards, Venerable Xuandu stood on ceremony no longer, raising his hand to signal that the Saints could leave.

After the Saints left the dojo, Antarctic Celestial Venerable found Empress Houtu and said, "Your Karma with Han Jue is the deepest. What on earth is Han Jue's stance toward us?"

The other Saints also gathered around. Qiu Xilai and Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate grew secretly vigilant; if Empress Houtu dared to show any disrespect toward Han Jue, they would plot against her.

After experiencing the Hongmeng Heavenly Prison, they were absolutely loyal to Han Jue, yet without losing their own personalities and thoughts.

This kind of change was terrifying; even Saints were unable to realize it.

Empress Houtu replied, "How would I know? However, if you don't target him, he probably won't pay attention to you. This child has the Dao in his heart and has no time to scheme against you. You have already figured out the death of Li Muyi. If it were you, what would you do?"

As if thinking of something, she said meaningfully, "Han Jue can see through the schemes of Qiu Xilai and Li Muyi. It is worth your while to think more about it; his Divine Ability is far beyond what we can compare to."

As her voice fell, Empress Houtu disappeared from her spot.

The Saints looked at each other in dismay.

…

Six hundred and ninety years later.

Han Jue opened his eyes, and lines of text appeared before him:

[It has been detected that you are already seventy thousand years old, and your life has taken another step forward. You have the following choices]

[One: Immediately head to the Guixu Divine Realm to unify the Dao. You can obtain a Saint-Rank Dojo Guardian, a great dao fragment, a supreme treasure, and a Divine Ability Inheritance.]

[Two: Cultivate in a low-profile manner, stay away from conflicts, and maintain your original aspiration. You can obtain a great dao fragment, a Divine Ability Inheritance, and a supreme treasure.]

Han Jue cursed inwardly; that damn System was trying to lure him again!

He directly chose the second option.

[You chose to Cultivate in a low-profile manner and obtained a great dao fragment, a Divine Ability Inheritance, and a supreme treasure.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Divine Ability — Dharma Idol Fusion Art]

[Dharma Idol Fusion Art: A special Divine Ability that allows one to merge the Dharma Idol displayed by oneself into the Physical Body of the main body, combining the power of both into one.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Chaos Supreme Treasure — sky-opening axe]

[sky-opening axe: A Chaos Supreme Treasure, one of the companion Magic Treasures of the Chaotic Fiendcelestial Pangu. It has the power to devour the Luck of Chaotic Fiendcelestials and can split heaven and earth.]

sky-opening axe!

Han Jue widened his eyes.

What Rank is a Chaos Supreme Treasure?

In Han Jue's understanding, Magic Treasures were divided into Spirit Treasures and supreme treasures according to each major Realm.

Grand Unity Spirit Treasures, Grand Unity supreme treasures, heavenly dao spirit treasures, heavenly dao supreme treasures, Freedom Spirit Treasures, and Freedom Supreme Treasures!

Could a Chaos Supreme Treasure be even higher than the Freedom Rank?

Han Jue had the feeling of being knocked dizzy by massive happiness. Could this be considered turning on an invincible cheat all at once?

On second thought, Pangu had more than just the sky-opening axe, and the Dao Ancestor even had the jade disc of creation. They had such supreme treasures even before attaining the Dao, wouldn't that be even more like cheating?

Han Jue was curious in his heart: "System, how did you collect these supreme treasures?"

Could the System be transformed from the Dao Ancestor?

Han Jue could not help but suspect the origin of the System.

[The System is merely an auxiliary. To understand the origin of the System, you need to be strong enough. The System currently does not know its own origin either.]

The System's reply was still as rigid as ever, without a shred of emotion.

However, this actually made Han Jue relax.

If the System had its own will, that would be terrifying to think about.

Of course, right now the System might also be feigning, but Han Jue chose to trust the System. Without the System, how could he have his present self?

Anyway, as long as he kept cultivating with peace of mind and wasn't lured out to wander by the System, it would be fine.

Aside from the sky-opening axe, the Dharma Idol Fusion Art was also very powerful, though he didn't know how many Dharma Idols could be merged simultaneously.

This art was a complete standard match with the Taiyi Zizai Dharma Idol, and its Rank was unestimable. The stronger the matched Dharma Idol Divine Ability, the stronger it would be!

Han Jue first took out the sky-opening axe, preparing to establish spiritual binding.

The sky-opening axe was larger than Han Jue's entire body. The axe body was ancient and vast, carved with tiny figures in various postures, as if a great melee was taking place. Holding the sky-opening axe, Han Jue felt a heavy weight, almost unable to hold it steady.

He was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, yet he couldn't hold it steady!

As expected of a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

Han Jue began to establish spiritual binding with it.

A full year passed before the sky-opening axe successfully completed spiritual binding, making it even more difficult than the killing dao token.

Han Jue continued to inherit the Dharma Idol Fusion Art.

A few days later, he mastered this art, and then conducted a Simulation Trial to begin experimenting.

He directly fused the Tiangang Demon God Dharma Idol, held the sky-opening axe, and chopped Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate to death with a single axe strike.

He conducted the Simulation Trial again. This time, fusing the Heavenly Dipper Demon God and the Demon God of Strength, his power was strengthened once more, easily chopping Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate to death.

Han Jue kept trying.

He discovered that fusing Demon God Dharma Idols was not a completely additive effect. The power essence of most Chaotic Fiendcelestials differed. The Dharma Idol Fusion Art merely fused their advantages, and fusing the same type of Demon God's power did not yield a one plus one equals two effect. For example, combining the Heavenly Dipper Demon God and the Demon God of Strength only resulted in an effect where one plus one equaled one point five.

However, this was already quite good!

Han Jue was very satisfied. At most, he could fuse five Demon God Dharma Idols and master their powers. Any more, and his Physical Body would not be able to bear it.

Han Jue continued to enjoy the combat, wanting to fully master the Dharma Idol Fusion Art and incidentally test the effects of fusing different Demon God Dharma Idols together.

…

Mysterious space.

Figures shining with different lights appeared out of thin air.

They all looked in the same direction—a speck of light resembling starlight, changing in brightness within the darkness.

"This Dao is growing stronger again; this growth rate is extraordinary."

"Is it naturally derived, or is it a Dao with an owner?"

"Unclear, unable to see through it."

"Observe a bit longer. I always feel that this Dao will affect the Chaos."

"I think so as well."

These figures discussed in low voices, and after a while, they each disappeared.

That speck of light in the darkness still shone solitarily, striving constantly without self-stagnation.

…

Time flew like an arrow, and eight hundred and thirty-four years passed.

Han Jue, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a weeping voice coming not from the Hundred Peaks Immortal River, but from the distant Mortal Realm.

"Old Ancestor Han Tuo, your grandson begs you to manifest your spirit quickly. My Han Family is about to be wiped out; how can you bear to sit by and do nothing?"

"Why can other families invite immortals and gods from the Upper Realm, while my Han Family has an immortal and god Old Ancestor, yet ignores my Han Family?"

"On what grounds! On what grounds!"

"My Han Family has been displaced and wandering for over a thousand years, hanging on by a thread. Why won't Heaven let us go!"

This voice was filled with despair and was hoarse from screaming.

Han Jue looked afar and saw that amidst a desolate mountain wilderness, a youth was kneeling on the ground, roaring toward the sky with tears constantly falling. Many corpses lay around him.

With just a glance, Han Jue could deduce that those corpses were all descendants of the Han Family.

He then looked toward Han Tuo.

At this moment, Han Tuo was imprisoned in the Nine Nether Purgatory, enduring the burning of the Nine Nether flames in extreme agony.

Happy National Day!

Are you planning to go out for the National Day?
