The final battle is coming..
...
Soon.
Xu Chong quickly saw Lin Yuan.
Compared to the overwhelming momentum emanating from those high-ranking Warrior Commanders, Lin Yuan felt very ordinary to Xu Chong.
Even comparing to the Blood Refining Martial Saint.
If it weren't for Sikong Lun repeatedly emphasizing that he must not show any disrespect, Xu Chong probably couldn't help but look up.
"Not a bad aptitude."
Lin Yuan looked at Xu Chong and nodded slightly.
In terms of mental strength, Xu Chong ranked in the top ten among the people Lin Yuan had encountered after his arrival in this world.
The cultivation system in this world purely refines the physical body.
The improvement of mental and soul aspects is basically blank.
Even the Blood Refining Martial Saint is only vigorous in blood and energy.
"This Sky-Cleaving Axe is for you."
Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly, and a black axe the size of a palm flew out.
Before Lin Yuan suppressed it, the Sky-Cleaving Axe was originally an Evil Weapon with a completion degree of nine-tenths.
Over the years, Lin Yuan collected the remaining fragments of the Sky-Cleaving Axe and pieced it together.
After completion, the Sky-Cleaving Axe is no longer an Evil Weapon but a true Divine Weapon.
Although it is still not as powerful as the thirty-six Divine Weapons like the Sun-Moon Spear, it surpasses other Evil Weapons.
"What is that?"
Xu Chong had not yet reacted.
He watched the Sky-Cleaving Axe fly towards him.
Finally, it merged into his forehead, forming a black axe imprint.
"For me?"
Xu Chong only felt that something had been added to his body.
A giant axe, as large as a mountain, faintly appeared in his mind.
"Get familiar with the power of Divine Weapons as much as possible."
Lin Yuan looked at Xu Chong and said casually.
The essential rules contained in the Sky-Cleaving Axe have all been comprehended by him.
Continuing to keep it by his side would be of no use.
Of course, although Lin Yuan gave the Sky-Cleaving Axe to Xu Chong, due to the refining relationship, he could retract it with a single thought.
Rather than saying Xu Chong is a Warrior Commander of the Sky-Cleaving Axe, it is more accurate to say that he is the one who activates the Sky-Cleaving Axe for Lin Yuan.
"Divine Weapon?"
"Was that a Divine Weapon just now?"
Xu Chong looked puzzled. How could he have expected that the black axe he saw was actually the legendary Divine Weapon?
Moreover was it not said that Divine Weapons have their own consciousness? High and mighty, not to be humiliated. What's going on now?
"Next, I will leave this place."
Lin Yuan ignored Xu Chong's shock and looked towards Sikong Lun.
Having comprehended the Sun-Moon Spear for ten years, Lin Yuan could step into the Fourth Rank at any time.
During this period, Lin Yuan wanted to emulate the ancient god ten thousand years ago, cross the river and pass the Five Mountains, and wander in this world.
"Yes."
Sikong Lun, as if wanting to ask something, swallowed back his words and respectfully said.
Lin Yuan naturally saw Sikong Lun's thoughts, shook his head and said, "If you encounter something unstoppable, just shout the two words 'Emperor Yan.'"
Lin Yuan is the Great Yan Emperor, so naturally, he can also be called 'Emperor Yan.'
"Yes."
Sikong Lun slightly relaxed when he heard this.
With Lin Yuan's words, he felt confident.
"Emperor Yan?"
In Xu Chong's mind, he silently recited and stole a glance at Lin Yuan, deeply imprinting these two words in his mind.
Before traveling through the world.
Lin Yuan returned to the Great Yan Imperial Palace.
The previous Emperor Liu Shi was in good spirits. After suppressing the Sun-Moon Spear, Lin Yuan had given him several bone-restructuring treatments. The whole person was radiant, and he estimated that he could live another hundred years.
"Yuan'er, no matter what you want to do, do it boldly."
Looking at his most satisfied son, Liu Shi spoke.
In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and the conflict between the Anti-God Society and the Central Thirty-Six Countries has been constantly colliding. Only the Great Yan Dynasty has remained silent.
Liu Shi himself has been the emperor for decades and naturally realizes the problem. He speculates that Lin Yuan may have reached some kind of agreement with the Anti-God Society.
The Anti-God Society insists on overthrowing the rule of the Divine Weapons, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the imperial families of the Central Thirty-Six Countries.
Lin Yuan's collusion with the Anti-God Society is undoubtedly a taboo.
However, Liu Shi trusts his son, believing that there must be a reason for him to do so.
Moreover, it's just collusion, and there is no substantive evidence. Even if the other thirty-five countries become suspicious, what can they do
Liu Shi couldn't even dream that his son was not colluding with the Anti-God Society but was the mysterious master of the Anti-God Society. The current changes in the world are mostly because of his son.
As time passed.
Ten years later.
Central Thirty-Six Countries.
Great Qi Dynasty.
The Emperor of Great Qi had a gloomy expression, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"The remnants of the Anti-God Society, how dare they! How dare they!"
The Emperor of Great Qi suddenly stood up and roared, and the many ministers below bowed their heads, not daring to speak.
Over the past ten years, the Anti-God Society, with great momentum, began a frontal counterattack against the Central Thirty-Five Countries.
For a while, like a spark that can ignite a prairie fire, the Anti-God Society was initially suppressed, but as time went on, the spread of the Anti-God Society's ideology caused grievances to boil in various countries.
In just ten years.
The strength of the thirty-five countries in Central Plains had been weakened, and seven dynasties had been occupied by the Anti-God Society.
The divine weapons of these seven dynasties seemed to have disappeared, never appearing from the beginning to the end.
And just now, the Emperor of Great Qi learned that the neighboring Great Mo Dynasty, not long ago, had just been breached.
Great Mo connected to Great Qi's territory.
With Great Mo Dynasty gone, the next one would naturally be the Great Qi Dynasty.
In the court of Great Qi.
The Emperor of Great Qi took a deep breath.
Then he looked at the middle-aged man with an ancient face next to him.
"I wonder what the Divine Weapons say?"
The Emperor of Great Qi tried to appear calm as he asked.
This middle-aged man with an ancient face was the Warrior Commander of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Eight years ago, the divine weapons of the thirty-five countries, as if they had agreed in advance, all left their ancestral lands, and it was unknown where they went.
According to the message left by the divine weapons to their Warrior Commanders, they said they were about to take the final crucial step.
Now, eight years later, except for the Warrior Commanders who occasionally communicated with the divine weapons, others, including the emperors of each country, could not sense any trace of the divine weapons.
"The Divine Weapons said that they are about to take that step, and they will return to the world soon."
The middle-aged man with an ancient face said with excitement in his tone.
Although the divine weapons had left a trace of power in them before leaving, making them not completely without combat power.
Compared with directly activating the divine weapons, it was far from enough, to the point that those Evil Weapon Commanders could directly block them head-on.
"Good, good, good."
The Emperor of Great Qi said three "good" in a row.
In recent years, if they hadn't lost the divine weapons, how could they have been defeated by the Anti-God Society?
Fortunately, this difficult time was about to pass.
The divine weapons were about to reign supreme again.
As a legitimate dynasty, they would certainly return to their previous dominant position.
"In that case."
"I will join hands with other dynasties to fight against the Anti-God Society, then suppress them with the divine weapons, and eliminate all the remnants."
Having been in power for decades, the Emperor of Great Qi immediately thought of a way to make things easy for decades or even hundreds of years in the future.
The remnants of the Anti-God Society, like mice in the gutter, could not be killed no matter what.
With the Anti-God Society's reputation reaching its peak, many hidden dangers were bound to come out.
If, at this time, they were to crush the Anti-God Society with an overwhelming posture, completely shattering everything about the Anti-God Society, then for a long time in the future, the Anti-God Society would be unable to recover.
On the contrary, if they spread the news that the divine weapons were about to return, the Anti-God Society would definitely be frightened and quickly withdraw, hiding back in the gutter, watching the Central Thirty-Six Countries with ill intent.
The Emperor of Great Qi naturally chose the former of the two methods of dealing with the Anti-God Society.
In the central position of the Central Thirty-Six Countries.
The vast Five Mountains area turned into a battlefield, with the Anti-God Society on one side facing the remnants of the thirty-five countries. The strengths of both sides were vast and countless.
On the side of the Anti-God Society.
"How did these thirty-five countries dare to fight against us so boldly?"
Xu Chong, sitting on the throne, frowned and said.
In the past ten years, Xu Chong was no longer the ignorant young man. After countless battles, he had grown into a qualified Warrior Commander.
By activating the complete Sky-Cleaving Axe, he could even suppress those Divine Weapon Commanders from the thirty-five countries.
Although those Divine Weapon Commanders from the thirty-five countries seemed unable to directly borrow the power of the divine weapons, even so, Xu Chong's outstanding achievements in battle were well-known throughout the world.
"Could it be?"
Xu Chong's expression slightly changed.
It seemed like he thought of something.
The forces of the thirty-five countries dared to have such an open battle, and it was very likely that the divine weapons behind them had returned?
"No matter."
"Since the thirty-five countries dare to go to war, then we will go to war."
After a moment of silence, Sikong Lun, sitting in the main seat, spoke.
"Good."
"Then let's go to war."
The other people on the field immediately stood up.
Looking at the distance where the thirty-six countries were, their eyes were full of wariness and anticipation.
They had been waiting for this day for too long.
Five Mountains battlefield.
Both sides suddenly began to fight fiercely.
Both sides had a tacit understanding, with ordinary soldiers fighting ordinary soldiers, cultivators fighting cultivators, and Warrior Commanders battling each other.
"Die!"
Xu Chong grasped a huge black axe and ruthlessly swung it.
Instantly, several approaching Warrior Commanders were forced to retreat, and the random swing of the black axe resulted in the beheading of one of the Warrior Commanders.
This scene was uplifting.
After all, very few Warrior Commanders from the thirty-five countries had fallen, even in the eight dynasties that had been breached by the Anti-God Society. Warrior Commanders, emperors, and others had all escaped in advance.
It's worth noting that in other eras, the Warrior Commanders of the thirty-five countries were invincible.
For a moment, the morale on other battlefields shook, causing the side of the thirty-five countries to retreat continuously.
On the other side.
The emperors of the thirty-five countries gathered in the rear.
They looked at the battlefield from afar, seeing their side continuously retreating, but their expressions remained unchanged.
"Almost."
"The Anti-God Society shouldn't have any other means."
"Please, let the Divine Weapons take action."
The Emperor of Great Qi and other emperors exchanged glances, making a decision in their hearts.
On the battlefield.
Xu Chong wielded the black giant axe, and the power from the divine weapon, the Sky-Cleaving Axe, surged and boiled.
Suddenly.
"Not good."
"Those old guys are coming."
The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe suddenly trembled and quickly informed Xu Chong.
"What old guys?"
Xu Chong hadn't reacted yet, and then he was surprised, "Are you saying those thirty-six divine weapons?"
"Where are they?"
Xu Chong looked around and didn't easily retreat.
In recent years, he also knew that the Sky-Cleaving Axe in his hand was now complete and could be considered a true divine weapon. He felt that it wouldn't be much weaker than those thirty-six divine weapons.
Even if he encountered them, he wouldn't be frightened and flee in panic.
"How can they be so powerful?"
"Trouble, trouble."
"They have taken that step."
The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe shivered, constantly emitting spiritual fluctuations, revealing a look of despair.
"Where are they?"
Xu Chong stood still, and no one dared to attack him.
"They are in the sky."
The consciousness of the Sky-Cleaving Axe barely recovered and informed Xu Chong.
"In the sky?"
Xu Chong looked up at the sky.
Only to see, above the clouds, towering divine weapons had appeared at some point.
These divine weapons were towering and majestic, totaling thirty-five, currently high above in the sky, overlooking the mortal world.
The thirty-five giant divine weapons hanging high in the sky emitted an aura as vast as the heavens and the earth.
This was also the reason why Xu Chong hadn't noticed the other side, because their aura was too vast.
It was like being on a vast and boundless sea. You would definitely notice the ships and scattered islands above, but the sea itself would be easy to ignore.
"They...they..."
Xu Chong's teeth were chattering. In his countless expectations, using his strength to activate the Sky-Cleaving Axe, even if it couldn't match the thirty-six divine weapons, it shouldn't be too far apart.
But now, seeing the thirty-five divine weapons, Xu Chong realized from the bottom of his heart that the gap between them and the Sky-Cleaving Axe was like a chasm.
As Xu Chong looked up at the sky.
More and more people on the battlefield also raised their heads.
"They are Divine Weapons."
"The Divine Weapons of our Great Qi Dynasty."
"And those of our Great Chu Dynasty."
"Hahaha, the doomsday for the remnants of the Anti-God Society has come."
Countless people on the side of the thirty-five countries were exhilarated. Some even knelt directly on the ground, welcoming the descent of the divine weapons.
In comparison, the side of the Anti-God Society was in a miserable state.
Especially those Evil Weapon Commanders felt more deeply the pressure from the sky, like the vastness of the heavens.
At the same time.
Above the sky.
The thirty-five divine weapons emitted a massive spiritual fluctuation.
"So many flesh and blood souls, simply delicious."
"And those failures, it's just right to deal with them together this time."
"Although the breakthrough was successful, it caused significant damage to our vitality, and we urgently need flesh and blood souls to replenish it."
"Wait, why haven't I seen Old Eighteen for such a long time?"
"Perhaps Old Eighteen is hiding somewhere for transformation. It hasn't completed its transformation yet. Never mind, I'll enjoy these flesh and blood souls first."
The thirty-five divine weapons spread out simultaneously, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Five Peaks battlefield.
"Let's start enjoying."
In an instant, the divine weapons gently sucked, and tens of thousands of soldiers below from the thirty-five countries turned into dry bones.
For the divine weapons, whether it was the thirty-five countries or the Anti-God Society, they were just food on a plate.
Now, due to their breakthrough and transformation, they needed flesh and blood souls, and they wouldn't distinguish whether the food was cultivated by them or not.
"Ah?"
Xu Chong looked at the thirty-five divine weapons above the clouds, filled with despair.
At this moment, the thirty-five divine weapons spread out, occupying all directions, completely sealing off this battlefield. Even if he wanted to escape, there was no way out.
"It's over."
Xu Chong was in utter despair, feeling that there was probably no way out for him today.
In such a situation, Xu Chong subconsciously began to review his entire life.
From birth, there were parents, there was also his younger sister who was unfortunately taken away by that storyteller later, and then the struggle against the rule of the divine weapons.
For some reason, Xu Chong's thoughts seemed to have returned to that night ten years ago.
At that time, when Sikong Lun led him into the underground palace, he saw the owner of the Anti-God Society, and was even given the Sky-Cleaving Axe by the latter.
The scenes from Xu Chong's memory gradually became clear. He seemed to remember that the owner of the Anti-God Society had said something. If faced with an irresistible situation, he could shout 'Emperor Yan'.
Thinking to this point, Xu Chong didn't know why, as if guided by something, he raised his head and stared directly at the thirty-five divine weapons above the clouds. He took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Emperor—Yan!!!"
In order to shout these two words, Xu Chong burned his blood and even borrowed the power of the Sky-Cleaving Axe.
In an instant, the two words 'Emperor Yan' spread in all directions, echoing throughout the entire Five Peaks battlefield.
The heavens and the earth fell into a sudden silence.
"Why are you shouting!"
Just at this moment, another voice came.
Everyone looked, only to see a young emperor in dragon robes, with a calm expression, stepping through the void, arriving at the top of the clouds, and reaching the same level as the thirty-five divine weapons.
Lin Yuan floated in the air, looking at the thirty-five divine weapons.
"I've been waiting for you."
