Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 175 This axe blow is for humanity! Chapter Fifteen!

Fourteen giant axe phantoms reappeared, their axe beams carrying a world-destroying power, slashing towards the Eternal True God.

This time, however, the eighteen claws of the Eternal True God struck out simultaneously, actually blocking the axe's edge. The enormous impact sent the Giant Axe Founder flying backward, sliding dozens of light-years through the void before regaining his footing. The black light flowing from the axe body dimmed considerably.

"Hahaha, Giant Axe, you can't possibly withstand the combined might of the three Eternal True Gods!" The Third True God's voice was filled with madness. "Today you will surely die!"

The nine heads of the Eternal God simultaneously spewed out energy, forming an energy storm that trapped the Giant Axe Founder within it; one hundred and eight pairs of hooves stomped down like a torrential rain, each strike leaving deep cracks in the space around the Giant Axe Founder.

The Founder of the Giant Axe fought back fiercely, his divine axe continuously unleashing axe beams, but the attacks of the Eternal True God were like a relentless tide, and his defenses gradually began to falter.

A claw-like gust of wind grazed his arm, tearing a gash in his black armor; another beam of energy struck his back, causing him to stagger forward a few steps, slowing the rhythm of his swinging axe, clearly indicating that he had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"Teacher!" Ling Xuan was extremely anxious.

Even the mighty founder of the giant axe had only just obtained the supreme treasure, the giant axe, and had not yet created the fifteenth axe that would later make him awe-inspiring throughout the universe. He was still somewhat powerless against the eternal true god composed of the supreme treasures of the three true gods.

He took a deep breath, his body's ultimate laws circulated wildly, and with a flick of his sword finger between his brows, a surge of power erupted from the depths of his soul.

Surrounded by this dazzling golden light, a golden spot quietly lit up on Ling Xuan's forehead.

As soon as the point of light appeared, it expanded rapidly at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a vertical eye.

Within his pupils, golden patterns resembling dragons and snakes slowly flowed, with lightning and flames flashing between them, like the chaotic power at the beginning of the world, intertwining and colliding, emitting a deep rumble.

Around the Heavenly Eye, three crimson halos slowly rotated, each containing boundless destructive and creative power. With each rotation, they caused the energy of the cosmic sea to resonate wildly, and spatial rifts spread out in the void like a spider web, as if this universe itself could hardly withstand this powerful force.

The moment the Heavenly Eye opened, a terrifying aura that looked down upon the heavens and earth and reigned supreme over all things spread wildly in all directions from Ling Xuan as the center.

The space, which was originally as solid as iron, began to crack like fragile glass under this power, making a "crackling" sound.

The Eternal True God's overwhelming attack rhythm was abruptly interrupted by this force. Its massive body suddenly froze, and the nine heads that were originally filled with destructive aura now showed a trace of fear in their eyes, almost like a human.

The founder of the giant axe sensed this immense and unparalleled power, and a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that his beloved disciple was about to display astonishing power once again.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Eternal True God paused in his movements, the Giant Axe Founder gripped the divine axe tightly with both hands, unleashed all his power, and swung out a dazzling black axe beam. This axe beam contained his ultimate understanding of power, and with an unstoppable momentum, it slashed fiercely at the Eternal True God, forcing the Eternal True God to divert its power to defend itself.

Ling Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, reflecting the enormous yet panicked figure of the Eternal True God. Suddenly, his Heavenly Eye shot out a beam of golden light.

This beam of light, though seemingly thin, actually contained terrifying power capable of destroying the world. Wherever it passed, space was instantly annihilated, leaving only a deep black crack. Its speed was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of the Eternal True God in the blink of an eye.

"Oh!"

With a deafening roar, the golden beam of light struck the body of the Eternal God with pinpoint accuracy.

In an instant, the entire cosmic sea seemed to be ignited, and the dazzling golden light engulfed the enormous figure of the Eternal True God. In the light, the Eternal True God let out a mournful and desperate roar, which echoed for a long time in the void of the cosmic sea.

As the golden light gradually dissipated, the once majestic body of the Eternal True God was riddled with holes: half of his head had turned to dust, all thirty-six pairs of wings had been severed, scattered like withered feathers; most of his one hundred and eight pairs of hooves and claws had been broken, and the remaining ones drooped weakly; his nine tails were reduced to fragments, and the energy light had been completely extinguished.

The entire body disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into countless energy fragments that drifted in all directions.

The third, sixth, and seventh Allahs were ashen-faced, staring at the collapsing Eternal God with disbelief and terror in their eyes.

How could they have imagined that Ling Xuan's attack would be so powerful, directly shattering the Eternal True God?

"Impossible! The three of them working together to become an eternal true god, actually..." The Third True God's voice trembled, filled with despair and resentment, but he was choked back by reality before he could finish speaking.

Looking at the giant axe and Ling Xuan standing side by side, they had only one thought left—escape!
"Let's go!" the Star Lord urged urgently. If the fight continued, they might really be killed.

"Trying to run? Leave your life behind." The aura of the Giant Axe Founder suddenly surged, and the supreme treasure giant axe in his hand instantly transformed into a black stream of light, blocking the three people in the blink of an eye with the force of thunder.

The axe blade sliced ​​through the void, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if it wanted to split the space of this cosmic sea in two. The surrounding light was distorted under this terrifying power, forming strange arcs of light.

"You think you can fight whenever you want, or run away whenever you want?" Ling Xuan's expression was cold and stern, his body surging with crimson-gold light. He and the Giant Axe Founder surrounded the three True Lords, one in front and one behind, and he sneered, "Do you really think all the powerful beings will indulge your Divine Eye Clan? Today will be your burial ground!"

His eyes revealed a resolute killing intent, like two sharp blades piercing straight into the hearts of the three Allahs.

"Giant Axe, although you and your disciple have defeated the three of us today, don't forget, the strongest in my Divine Eye Clan isn't the three of us?" The Star Lord's face was as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He forced himself to remain calm and warned in a cold voice, "And are you sure you and your disciple can stop us today? Seventh Brother!"

As he spoke, he secretly winked at the Seventh God, his eyes filled with anxiety and pleading.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seventh True God suddenly flipped his hand, and a crystal-clear iceberg instantly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the fortress transformed into a beam of light, swiftly drawing the three True Lords inside.

In an instant, the place where the three of them had been was now just the Ice Cliff Fortress, which exuded a powerful defensive aura.

"Hahaha, this is the supreme treasure palace, Ice Cliff Fortress. Let's see what you can do about it!" The Seventh True Lord hid inside Ice Cliff Fortress, looking at Ling Xuan and the Giant Axe Founder outside through a layer of transparent ice wall, and laughed wildly.

His laughter echoed around him, tinged with a twisted sense of pleasure. After several exchanges, he, who had been at a disadvantage, finally felt he had a chance to catch his breath, as if he had found an absolute shield he could rely on.

The Seventh True Lord stared intently at Ling Xuan, his gaze filled with a hint of provocation and anticipation, hoping to see a look of exasperation on the other's face.

Seeing this, Ling Xuan's expression turned solemn. He drew his sword finger between his brows, and the ultimate laws within his body instantly began to operate wildly, unleashing a surge of immense power like a raging sea.

In an instant, his body shone brightly, and countless golden star-like rays converged, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.

"Boom!" The Heavenly Eye opened again, and a terrifying, world-destroying power spread wildly in all directions from Ling Xuan as the center.

The space, which had been as solid as iron, began to crack like fragile glass under this force, making a series of cracking sounds. Then, the Heavenly Eye suddenly unleashed a golden beam of light. The beam appeared thin, but it contained terrifying power capable of destroying everything. Wherever it passed, space was instantly annihilated, leaving only a deep, black rift. Its speed was extreme, reaching the Ice Cliff Fortress in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" The golden beam of light slammed heavily into the Ice Cliff Fortress, creating a deafening roar.

Ice Cliff Fortress trembled violently, and the surrounding space seemed to be wildly stirred by an invisible giant hand, with countless spatial turbulence surging wildly.

The ice on the surface of Ice Cliff Fortress melted instantly by the high temperature, turning into billowing mist, but in the blink of an eye, it condensed again.

The runes on Ice Cliff Fortress shone brightly, flashing wildly as they resisted the terrifying attack of the Heavenly Eye beam. Ice shards and light flew everywhere, and the entire Ice Cliff Fortress teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact, yet it stubbornly held on and was not breached.

"Hahaha, is this all you've got? You think you can break through my Ice Cliff Fortress?" The Seventh True Lord, hiding inside the fortress, watched as the Ice Cliff Fortress remained steadfast despite the Heavenly Eye's attack. He immediately felt relieved and laughed even more wildly, his face full of smugness. His laughter carried a hint of madness, as if mocking Ling Xuan's overestimation of his abilities.

Upon seeing this, Ling Xuan's eyes sharpened, and he withdrew the attack from his Heavenly Eye.

He took a deep breath, his divine power surging within him, and then a purple palace exuding a mysterious aura slowly appeared.

The Ziyuan Star Palace is entirely a deep purple color, and its body is covered with strange star patterns.

Brilliant purple stars float on the ceiling, connected by mysterious energy threads, forming a complex and powerful energy matrix.

As soon as the Ziyuan Star Palace appeared, it emitted a terrifying suction force, instantly attracting the surrounding cosmic dust, meteorites, and other substances, which turned into streams of light and converged towards the Ziyuan Star Palace.

Even the supreme treasure-level Ice Cliff Fortress began flying towards the Purple Abyss Star Palace at an extremely fast speed.

"What? Humans actually possess such a supreme treasure!" The three True Lords, hiding inside the Ice Cliff Fortress, felt the terrifying suction force emanating from the Purple Abyss Star Palace. Their faces instantly turned deathly pale, their eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

This was completely beyond their expectations.

"Quickly, pour in divine power together and stabilize Ice Cliff Fortress!" the Third True Lord shouted in a panic, his voice trembling slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three True Lords swiftly poured their divine power into the Ice Cliff Fortress. The secret runes on the Ice Cliff Fortress shone brightly once more, resisting the terrifying suction of the Purple Abyss Star Palace. Under the pull of the two powerful forces, the Ice Cliff Fortress shook violently, like a small boat tossed about in the stormy sea, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Ling Xuan and the founder of the giant axe exchanged a glance, a resolute look flashing in their eyes.

The two exerted their strength simultaneously. Ling Xuan wielded the Heaven-Slaying Blade, its crimson blade energy crisscrossing and continuously bombarding the Ice Cliff Fortress; the Giant Axe Founder swung his giant axe, and streaks of black axe light, carrying the power to destroy the world, fiercely cleaved towards the Ice Cliff Fortress.

Under the combined attack of the two, Ice Cliff Fortress gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught and slowly moved towards the direction of Purple Abyss Star Palace.

The space between Ice Cliff Fortress and Purple Abyss Star Palace seemed to be constantly squeezed by an invisible giant hand, making a "creaking" sound. The space was distorted more and more severely, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The secret runes on the surface of Ice Cliff Fortress glowed and dimmed, yet remained stable and flowing. The layer of crystal ice was like an unchanging barrier. Even as the suction force of the Purple Abyss Star Palace increased time and time again, it only caused faint ripples on the surface of the ice layer, without even a crack appearing.

"Hold on! Hold on to this suction force!" The Seventh True Lord shouted loudly inside the fortress, pressing his hands against the inner wall of the Ice Cliff Fortress, with divine power flowing in continuously.

He tried to suppress the panic in his heart, but the tension in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Once they are dragged into the Purple Abyss Star Palace, even if the Ice Cliff Fortress remains intact, they will be put on the defensive. Humans will be helpless against them, but if they are thrown into the Primal Universe, the Primal Universe will definitely be able to kill them.

"Hahaha, Seventh True Lord, keep barking!" Ling Xuan stood atop the Purple Abyss Star Palace, watching the Ice Cliff Fortress teeter on the brink of collapse under the suction and attacks, and laughed gleefully. "Weren't you very arrogant before? Why are you panicking like a stray dog ​​now?"

The crimson blade energy slashed out again, landing on the secret runes of Ice Cliff Fortress. The blade energy was instantly reflected by the runes, only causing a ripple of energy. Ling Xuan, however, paid no attention and continued to use his attacks to disturb the minds of the three True Lords.

"Human, do you really want to start a full-scale war with my Divine Eye Clan?" At the critical moment, it was the Third True Lord who forcibly steadied his mind and warned in a cold voice, "If my Divine Eye Clan cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation, then you humans will not have an easy time either!"

The threat in his words was real, but everyone could tell it was a forced attempt to maintain his position due to a lack of confidence.

"I have always lacked a suitable supreme treasure, always lacked one!" The founder of the giant axe suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it could penetrate the noise of the water and reach the ears of the powerful people of various races watching the battle.

"Precisely because I do not possess the most powerful treasure, I have always kept a low profile and endured hardship, fearing that my brilliance might bring disaster upon my human race. The Primordial Ancestor was very kind to me; his permanent suppression was only because he hoped that I would lead the human race well. Third God, Sixth God, do you two know... what makes me most angry?"

Before the words were finished, the Giant Axe Founder's eyes suddenly lit up, and two tangible golden beams of light pierced the sky, like two small suns illuminating the distorted space. A roar that shook the cosmic sea suddenly rang out: "That is to annihilate my human race!"

"Exterminate the clan!"

"Exterminate the clan!"

His voice echoed in the void, each word carrying immense power: "You, the Divine Eye Clan, dare to be so arrogant as to want to exterminate my human race?"

"How dare you say anything when the original ancestor is here?"

"Our human race has finally produced such a promising talent as Ling Xuan, who can lead humanity to glory once again, and you dare to plot against him!"

"If it weren't for the great strength of my master and me, wouldn't your Divine Eye Clan have truly succeeded today?"

The moment the words fell, the pent-up frustration of hundreds of billions of epochs accumulated in the heart of the Giant Axe Founder completely erupted.

Having taken on the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity from the progenitor, and now seeing the hope for rise brought by Ling Xuan, all emotions intertwined into a magnificent surge of pride, sweeping through his entire body like a volcanic eruption.

Black light surged wildly around him, resonating with the energy of the cosmic sea to form an energy vortex surrounding him. Even his hair moved without wind, nourished by his aura, making him resemble a peerless divine weapon about to be unsheathed. He exuded a terrifying aura.

Just then, the supreme treasure axe in his hand suddenly trembled slightly, and the golden runes that had faded on the axe suddenly lit up, as if they had come to life and climbed up the handle, intertwining with the force in his body.

"The fourteenth axe is not enough! I need even greater power to protect humanity!" He suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them. The phantom images of giant axes and secret runes around him spun wildly. Before the phantom image of the fourteenth giant axe had dissipated, the phantom image of the fifteenth axe suddenly condensed from the void, more solid than any of the previous ones, as if it were composed of pure cosmic laws.

"This axe blow is for humanity! The fifteenth!"
