Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 306 Shaking Mountains and Seas, Splitting the Sky and Piercing Clouds

Next came a longsword as clear as ice crystals, its blade as thin as a cicada's wing, yet radiating a chilling aura that froze the surrounding malevolent energy into frost.

There was also a long, blood-red sword with a thick blade and a dark golden sheen at the edge. Ancient flame runes were engraved on the back of the blade, and the hilt was wrapped with red dragon tendons, making it feel like holding a raging fire.

The blade seemed to contain flowing magma, and each tremor would cause the surrounding malevolent energy to ignite.

What caught Xu Yunfan's attention the most were a pair of giant, jet-black hammers, with patterns of mountains and waves carved on the hammerheads and dragon tendons wrapped around the handles.

And that longbow.

This longbow is entirely black, its body carved like ink jade, with the four characters "Splitting the Sky and Piercing the Clouds" engraved on it. The bowstring, however, gleams with a dark golden light, as if it were forged from the tendons of some ancient ferocious beast.

The bow arms are carved with ferocious beast heads, resembling neither dragons nor pythons, with menacing fangs that seem capable of devouring all life.

The bow was wreathed in wisps of malevolent energy, with faint blood-red runes flowing around it as if it were breathing.

Xu Yunfan's gaze burned with determination as he weighed his options: "If I choose 'Nine Heavens Thunderstrike,' it can be combined with my Pure Yang True Qi to summon lightning to defeat the enemy; 'Mysterious Netherworld Cold Soul' can counter fire-based techniques, but it clashes with my Pure Yang Skill; 'Crimson Flame Devouring the Heavens' is incredibly powerful, but it requires a fire-based technique to activate; 'Shaking Mountains and Suppressing Seas' is a good match for my Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique..."

Suddenly, Xu Yunfan shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle. He had been selected, but whether the divine weapon recognized him was another matter.

Whether or not it is recognized is a matter for the divine weapon.

Xu Yunfan stared at the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow, a slight tremor running through him. He thought to himself, "This bow possesses an extremely heavy aura of malevolence. If wielded properly, it might become a deadly weapon..."

Just as he reached out to take it, the bow suddenly trembled, and a murderous aura surged, as if in resistance.

Xu Yunfan snorted coldly, circulated the Pure Yang Qi Gong, and the Pure Yang True Qi wrapped around his palm like a raging fire, forcibly gripping the bow.

In an instant, the malevolent energy and the pure yang energy collided violently, causing the bottom of the abyss to tremble, as if a ferocious beast was roaring.

The longbow trembled incessantly, yet it remained firmly in Xu Yunfan's hand.

Finally, the malevolent aura gradually subsided, and the Sky-Piercing Bow slowly retracted its sharpness and returned to silence. However, it seemed that due to the resistance, the divine weapon concealed itself.

Xu Yunfan didn't take it seriously. Most of these divine weapons bullied the weak and feared the strong. After he properly trained them, they would naturally submit obediently, just like the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace.

The seventh-tier divine weapon before me, the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow, is carved entirely like black jade. The bowstring gleams with a dark golden light, and the two ends of the bow are engraved with ferocious beast heads, exuding a murderous aura and faintly possessing the power to pierce through the air. However, because it resisted Xu Yunfan, the divine weapon is now concealed, and it looks somewhat ugly...

According to Dugu Jiu, the weapons at the bottom of the endless abyss all have the potential to advance to the eighth-tier divine weapon. If they can be completely tamed, they will surely become a great weapon of destruction.

"Strange..." Xu Yunfan thought to himself, "Master Bi Yuan once said that the divine weapon at the bottom of the Burial Sword Abyss is extremely difficult to subdue, so how come it went so smoothly today?"

Little did he know that his seemingly easy descent into the abyss was actually due to his exceptionally favorable circumstances. Sect Master Bi Yuan personally protected him, using pure Yang Qi to dispel the evil energy. Furthermore, he was equipped with dragon scale armor and protected by the remnants of the ultimate Dao. More importantly, before leaving, Dugu Jiu secretly used her sword intent to dispel the erosion of the evil energy.

If an ordinary disciple were to rashly enter, let alone subdue the divine weapon, the overwhelming baleful aura alone would be enough to make one lose their mind and be unable to move an inch.

Xu Yunfan slung the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow over his back, his gaze sweeping over the other divine weapons, a plan already formed in his mind...

Xu Yunfan took a deep breath and reached out to grab the double hammers.

The moment he grasped the Shaking Mountain and Suppressing Sea Hammer with both hands, the hammer trembled violently. Dark golden mountain patterns appeared on the jet-black hammer body, and a powerful force of earth veins surged into his body through his palms, causing his body to tremble slightly.

But in the blink of an eye, this pressure, as if a mountain were collapsing, was like a gentle breeze under Xu Yunfan's incredibly powerful body, having no effect whatsoever. The twin hammers seemed to possess a spirit, humming incessantly in his hands, neither resisting nor completely submitting, as if examining whether he was worthy to hold them.

"Hmph, still being picky?"

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but grin, his pure Yang energy surging within him. At the same time, he circulated the power of the "Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique," causing his arm muscles to bulge and his blood and qi to flow like dragons, continuously pouring into the Zhenhai Mountain-Shaking Hammer.

The tremors of the hammer gradually weakened and eventually subsided, but the power of the earth veins was not completely subdued. Instead, it resonated faintly with his true energy, as if to say, "I acknowledge you for now, but whether you can truly control it depends on your ability."

It felt like a blind date from a past life. The way those women in their thirties looked at him was slightly disdainful, but they couldn't find anyone better, so they had to make do.

"Made..."

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but curse inwardly. Although these divine weapons had reluctantly recognized their master, they would probably need to be tested in actual combat to unleash their full power.

He weighed the two hammers in his hand, feeling the immense power they contained, and thought to himself: "The Sky-Piercing Bow is good for long-range attacks, the Mountain-Shaking and Sea-Suppressing Hammer is unparalleled in close combat, and now with the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace that has completely recognized its master... This trip to the Burial Sword Abyss has yielded far more than expected."

He truly hadn't expected there to be a pair of double hammers hidden beneath the Burial Sword Abyss.

Having grown accustomed to using double hammers, he naturally had a strong preference for hammer-type weapons.

No need for excessive calculation; just keep swinging your arms, and you'll be able to overcome any technique with sheer force.

Just as they were about to leave, the malevolent energy at the bottom of the abyss suddenly surged, and chains rattled in the distance, as if something had been disturbed.

Time is almost up. The murderous aura of the Burial Sword Abyss is endless, gushing forth from the depths of the earth. If we stay here for too long, it will be very difficult to get out.

As for Dugu Jiu...

This old guy is no ordinary person; he's not within our consideration.

Without further hesitation, he carried the Sky-Piercing Bow on his back and the Mountain-Shaking and Sea-Suppressing Hammer in his hand, and leaped onto the bronze plank road.

Behind them, the malevolent aura at the bottom of the abyss closed in like a tide.

As soon as he landed, he was met with Bi Yuan's deep and probing gaze.

He grinned and raised the heavy, black hammer in his hand. The mountain patterns on the hammer gleamed with a dark golden luster in the sunlight, and the power of the earth's veins seemed to flow faintly within them.

Then he shook the Sky-Piercing Bow slung across his back. The bowstring hummed, as if unwilling, yet helplessly fell silent.

Cui Yu, the head of the Punishment Hall, stood to the side, his gaze narrowing slightly, unable to suppress his astonishment.

"The Mountain-Shaking and Sea-Suppressing Hammer... This hammer was left behind by the 'Mountain-Suppressing Venerable' three hundred years ago. One hammer can shake mountains, and when both hammers are used together, the earth shakes! It is said that it is extremely difficult for this hammer to recognize its master, and only those with immense strength and an iron will can wield it."

His gaze swept over the longbow again, his brows furrowing slightly: "As for this Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow... why is its murderous aura suppressed and its bowstring dim? This bow was once the weapon of the 'Arrow God' Luo Jiuxiao. With a single arrow, it could split the sky and pierce mountains and seas. How could it look like this?"

Bi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. Suppressing his relief, he slowly spoke, "Yun Fan, this bow... doesn't seem to fully acknowledge you?"
