Chapter 135: Chapter 129: Shock! The Secret of the Martial Ancestor
Chang Qing’s panting laugh echoed.
There was silence between heaven and earth, only an ancient laugh suddenly emerged.
The laughter grew louder and eventually reverberated throughout the entire heavens.
Wu Jiuling stood up, looking at Chang Qing with a glint in his eyes.
His nodding smile carried an uncontrollable sense of relief and excitement.
"Enough, more than enough!"
Wu Jiuling knew well that Chang Qing, despite exhausting himself, wished to slay all the members of the Liu family just to vent his resentment.
This pent-up resentment had been lodged in his heart for a century, already forming an obsession even scarier than physical ailments.
Without guidance, even if today’s injuries were re-sealed, there would still be enormous hidden dangers.
But now, Chang Qing’s full-force swing, with the lives of fourteen Liu family members, had firmly suppressed that hidden peril!
Once he ascends to the Liu family again, this suppressed obsession will explode with unparalleled power.
"Hehe, as long as the teacher is satisfied."
Seeing Wu Jiuling revitalized, Chang Qing chuckled, his exhausted body stumbled backward.
With his current strength, simultaneously wielding the Heaven-Opening Axe and life flame is still too taxing.
"Senior Brother!"
Wu Yong reacted quickly, arriving first to support Chang Qing.
At this moment, Chang Qing also had messy hair, torn clothes, and was almost unable to stand.
He leaned against Wu Yong, smiling wryly, "Junior Brother, am I too pathetic?"
"Pathetic?"
Wu Yong glanced at the vanished Liu Saints and others, murmuring:
"Senior Brother, you were incredible today..."
...
In Chaoxian Hall.
Watching Chang Qing’s bedraggled state in the mirror, everyone present showed shock, staying silent for a long time.
Until a moment passed, only then did a disciple lightly speak as if muttering in dreams.
"Won...won..."
This weak mumble seemed to switch on the sound.
The previously silent Chaoxian Hall burst into a frenzy within an instant!
"Won! My heavens! Fourteen equals, and it was an insta-kill!"
"Who can tell me what that axe is! Perfect! Absolutely perfect! Such a world filled with such a sense of strength, what a perfect weapon!"
"Too powerful! Just looking at that axe made me break out in cold sweat!"
"Brother Su was amazing! One force to break all laws! This is truly one force to break all laws!"
"Don’t stop me! I want to be Elder Wu’s disciple, I want to be Brother Su’s junior brother..."
All the disciples present were enthusiastically discussing.
That breathtaking axe they just witnessed was a pinnacle of power they had never seen before.
No flashy phenomena, no life secret skill Dao imprint.
Just a single fallen axe directly slaying fourteen same-realm powerhouses.
This terrifying combat prowess shook everyone present.
Among them, the feeling was most pronounced for Mo Xiong.
He still stared dumbly at the mirror image above, murmuring in shock,
"Back then, he actually held back, is this...is this his strongest strike?"
He thought that flaming punch was already the peak of the consummate divine body’s power.
But today, this axe made him realize that in the consummate divine body realm, such terrifying battle power still exists.
That kind of battle power surpasses those so-called prodigies by several levels and heights.
Even Xuan Qingzi, who knew Chang Qing’s extraordinary talent, was dazed for a moment.
He thought Chang Qing would use swordsmanship to unleash the lost terrifying imperial pattern of the Sword Emperor Sect.
But unexpectedly, in just a month, Chang Qing had grown to such an extent.
Merely a month of change, and he had mastered a Dao technique no less than swordsmanship.
"Chang Qing...is awe-inspiring." Xuan Qingzi sighed and then looked at Chang Qing in the mirror, softly musing,
"The Divine Spirit realm is not far off, perhaps, it’s time to teach Chang Qing Dao techniques."
...
"That axe...did you all see it?"
Kun Wu Peak Master stared intently at Chang Qing in the mirror, his eyes still filled with shock.
At the moment the Heaven-Opening Axe appeared, several peak masters almost jumped from their seats.
None of them expected to see such a thing!
"Companion Dao Soldiers!"
Cyan Pine Daoist affirmed, "There’s no mistake!"
"Train the ’Dao’ of a lineage to the utmost, it evolves into Companion Dao Soldiers!"
"Chang Qing’s cultivation is from the Great Emperor’s legacy!"
Upon hearing this, several peak masters’ pupils contracted, showing astonishment.
Companion Dao Soldiers, even in the cultivation world, are rare because they seldom exist.
To cultivate Companion Dao Soldiers requires two extremely harsh conditions.
Firstly, it must be the legacy of a Great Emperor, only a Great Emperor who has received a divine mandate can have the qualification for Dao Soldiers.
Secondly, it must be cultivated to the utmost, comparable to or surpassing the same realm of the Great Emperor.
The first condition is difficult, but there are many Great Emperor legacies scattered across the world, found in powerful sacred grounds and families.
The truly difficult one is the second requirement, comparable to concurrent Great Emperors, even surpassing them!
This is exceptionally hard.
To cultivate a technique to equal or even surpass its creator, is almost as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Great Emperor legacies are not rare in Cangyan Continent, but cultivating Companion Dao Soldiers is extremely rare.
None anticipated, today an outer disciple of Little Immortal Sect, unexpectedly cultivated Companion Dao Soldiers!
This was overwhelmingly shocking for several peak masters!
"That axe...do you know which Great Emperor’s legacy it belongs to?"
Kun Wu Peak Master frowned and asked.
Typically, Emperor’s Weapons are forged with their own Companion Dao Soldiers.
That is the pinnacle of their Dao techniques, such weapons unleash two hundred percent of their power.
"The axe..."
Cyan Pine Daoist pondered, "Among the ancient Great Emperors, none seemed to use an axe as a weapon, right?"
Beside him, the Peak Master of the Pill Peak nodded with furrowed brows, "Emperor’s Weapons like axes are rare, almost nonexistent."
"Could it be from an ancient Great Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into contemplation.
The ancient era was too long ago, with a period of discontinuity where even a single word was not left.
Speculating the Great Emperor’s legacy based on the Dao Soldiers was extremely challenging.
At this moment, the most learned Scholar Peak Master seemed to remember something, quickly turning to look at Chang Qing in the mirror.
In a trembling voice, he said:
"I once read in an ancient book...it recorded."
"Darkness descended, living beings perished, a giant holding the Heaven-Holding Axe created a new world, leaving a spark for all creatures."
"He sealed the new world, battled the age of darkness alone, ultimately fought until the Emperor Weapon shattered, sealing the darkness."
"He...seems to be the only Great Emperor who wielded an axe!"
Upon hearing this, several peak masters were astounded as the information was immense.
Darkness’s origin, new world, spark, sealing darkness...
These things they might’ve heard as rumors, but never thought were left by the same Great Emperor.
"Which Great Emperor?" Cyan Pine Daoist couldn’t help but ask.
The Scholar Peak Master looked at Chang Qing with a solemn expression, slowly saying,
"The origin of all martial arts, ranked among the top three in combat power among the Great Emperors..."
"Martial Ancestor!"
