Chapter 2867 - 2868: Long Axe

As Su Yang accelerated the release of Spiritual Energy, the speed at which these fragmented Star Domains absorbed it also became increasingly rapid.

Moreover, Su Yang discovered an intriguing phenomenon. Amidst these damaged Star Domains, a special point had emerged, and the amount of Spiritual Energy it absorbed was noticeably much greater than in other places.

Previously, Su Yang hadn't noticed this, but now, seeing this situation, he was surprised. Without a doubt, this point must surely have something special about it.

However, after observing for a long time, Su Yang still couldn't find anything unusual about it. He neither sensed the breath of life nor any aura of power, only the continuous absorption of Spiritual Energy.

This situation left Su Yang even more puzzled; what exactly was happening with this fragmented Star Domain and the point that absorbed Spiritual Energy so rapidly?

Unable to figure out the situation, Su Yang ultimately decided to put it aside for now. He continued to supply Spiritual Energy to this Star Domain, while also staying within it to cultivate. He was intent on seeing what would eventually transpire with this Star Domain.

As for Su Yang himself, he sat cross-legged in the Void, similarly engaged in cultivation.

His past life's memories contained many powerful Secret Techniques, and during the previous battle against the First God and others, Su Yang had used one such technique from his past life. Su Yang intended to select some powerful Secret Techniques from these memories to perfect his combat system.

Before he realized it, a hundred years swiftly passed by.

One day, Su Yang suddenly sensed a cold chill nearby.

Astonished, Su Yang immediately followed the chill, eventually arriving near that previously discovered point.

This point was precisely the area where Spiritual Energy was absorbed most rapidly. Over the hundred years, the rate of absorption at this point had also accelerated, with at least one-tenth of the Spiritual Energy in this Star Domain absorbed by it.

Upon arriving here, the chill became even more intense. Even though Su Yang had the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, being struck by this chill felt as though it were cutting through him.

Su Yang's heart was shaken; the chill was baring its edges, as if an unparalleled fierce weapon was about to be born here, or perhaps a formidable Fierce Beast was lurking in the shadows.

With a mix of curiosity and caution, Su Yang decided to sit down right there, eager to see what would eventually happen to this point.

As time passed by incrementally, the chill grew heavier. Gradually, a vague Illusion appeared at this place, resembling the outline of something.

Su Yang abandoned his cultivation and focused entirely on observing this Illusion.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years...

Finally, after nearly a hundred more years, the outline of this Illusion fully emerged, revealing itself as a Long Axe.

The axe was about one and a third yards long, with a handle resembling a fierce dragon. The blade was divided into two sides, and when spread wide, it seemed like the dragon's fangs branching outward.

The axe's body was dark, emitting a chilling aura.

Upon its outline becoming clear, the previously exposed chill began to withdraw, leaving Su Yang even more astounded.

Exposed aura can be overwhelming, but what's truly challenging is retracting that aura.

The Heaven Slayer's Heaven-Slaying Blade was also known for its retracted aura. However, this Long Axe had only revealed an outline, and yet, similar circumstances arose. Once fully revealed, how powerful must this Long Axe be?

Su Yang had no doubt that this must be a Divine Artifact even stronger than the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

But whose Divine Artifact could this be?

There was no record of such a Divine Artifact in Su Yang's memories. Whether among the Human Clan's strongest or the Guardian God, or even the Heavenly Venerable, none had such a Divine Artifact.

Therefore, this Divine Artifact likely didn't belong to this World Tree, perhaps left by a powerhouse from a previous era.

Yet how could such a Divine Artifact be reborn in this fragmented ruin?

If a Divine Artifact like this could be reborn, could other Divine Artifacts also be reborn? Perhaps even the fallen powerhouses of previous World Trees might return?

After quietly waiting for nearly another hundred years, the Long Axe finally emerged fully, with its aura utterly disappearing.

Suspended in the Void, this Long Axe appeared as an ordinary axe, devoid of any threat.

Despite its appearance, Su Yang felt a sense of caution; he even suspected that his Undying Golden Body might not withstand the Long Axe.

Although the Long Axe had fully formed, Su Yang refrained from touching it. The speed at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy not only hadn't decreased but had become even faster, with the amount significantly increasing.

Previously, it only absorbed one-tenth of the Spiritual Energy, but now, two-tenths of the Star Domain's Spiritual Energy were supplied to this Long Axe.

Could it be that the Long Axe hadn't completely coalesced, or was there some other reason?

Su Yang couldn't imagine; if the Long Axe hadn't completely coalesced, just how terrifying would its power be?

And if it wasn't a matter of incomplete coalescence, then what exactly was going on? Why had the speed of Spiritual Energy absorption increased by so much?

After approximately thirty more years, a small speck of light unexpectedly appeared near the Long Axe.

Su Yang sensed that the Spiritual Energy was not absorbed by the Long Axe but rather by this light.

Su Yang attempted to probe the light with his Spiritual Sense, but returned empty-handed.

The light seemed to have an invisible force blocking Su Yang's Spiritual Sense from approaching.

Su Yang did not forcefully attempt to break through; he was unsure what lay inside the light. A forceful breakthrough might result in irrevocable consequences.

He waited again for a time, which proved quite lengthy.

During this period, other Human Clan's strongest had traversed the entire Guardian Land.

They had confirmed several battlefield locations within the Guardian Land and roughly determined the final direction those people had taken.

Su Yang did not dispatch others to search; firstly, the direction was from hundreds of years ago, and tracking it possibly wouldn't yield any results.

Secondly, he knew that the Heaven Slayer and Buddha Venerable wouldn't face any danger, sending others out might not only fail to find them but also risk those individuals' safety, which was impractical.

The Heaven Slayer and Buddha Venerable had brought so many Blood Shadows with them, thoroughly disrupting the Guardian God's plans. Even though the Guardian God's strongest outnumbered them, it was ultimately meaningless.

Under the assault of those Blood Shadows, even the Guardian God's strongest could barely protect themselves, unable to pursue the Heaven Slayer and Buddha Venerable.
