The Eternal Axe was originally a divine artifact, but it shattered during a great war long ago, leaving its spirit nearly destroyed. After countless years of self-repair, it eventually revived, though its power was greatly diminished, no longer matching its former glory.
Nowadays, if classified among treasures, the Eternal Axe would be considered an ultimate Dao artifact, but it lacks the typical functions of such artifacts, serving only one purpose—unparalleled sharpness capable of cutting through anything.
“Refine, fuse!”
“Ding! Congratulations on successful refinement.”
The “Heavenly Smelting Furnace” trembled violently, its lid flung open, releasing a surge of sharp, piercing energy that shot thousands of feet into the air. This razor-sharp energy was so potent that it tore one rift after another into the boundaries of the “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain.”
Countless torrents of void energy surged wildly. The domain’s once-pervasive aura of killing intent had now completely vanished, leaving behind only a faint trace.
After absorbing this last wisp, Lin Fan would cause the “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain” to instantly collapse, ceasing to exist within the Ancient Saint Realm forever.
“I didn’t expect it to remain an ultimate Dao artifact even after fusion. It seems the Eternal Axe has many, many more fragments—definitely not just this one,” Lin Fan mused, gripping the Eternal Axe tightly. His aura surged like a peerless war god, piercing the heavens.
“Ding! Congratulations on discovering the second move of the Heaven-Sundering Trio—Annihilation. Would you like to comprehend it?”
“Comprehend.”
A smile formed in Lin Fan’s mind. Although the Eternal Axe hadn’t evolved, this fragment had contained the second move of the Heaven-Sundering Trio, which was still quite valuable.
It made sense that the Human Race had used this fragment to imprison the ancient ancestor Qing Sheng here, as this piece might have been a crucial part of the axe’s original form.
At this moment, Lin Fan entered an extremely mysterious state of enlightenment.
Within this state, he once again beheld that awe-inspiring giant. With each blink of the giant’s eyes, heaven and earth trembled, and a mighty aura swept across the entire world, making Lin Fan feel an inexplicable pressure.
So powerful!
The giant, holding the Eternal Axe, swung it once, and the heavens and earth were destroyed, all beings vanishing into nothingness.
“Roar!”
A thunderous shout erupted from the giant’s mouth, instantly snapping Lin Fan out of his trance.
“Ding! Congratulations on comprehending the second move of the Heaven-Sundering Trio—Annihilation.”
“Didn’t expect it to be this strong,” Lin Fan murmured in amazement, then his eyes flashed as he swung the axe.
“Annihilation!”
A massive axe-light erupted, causing the entire “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain” to violently tremble. With a single strike, the void tore open, torrents of void energy spilling out, and the domain’s space began collapsing.
“Too intense! Just one strike destroyed the entire Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain,” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock, then quickly dashed outward.
Boom!
The surrounding void was collapsing, everything returning to nothingness.
Lin Fan turned back, stunned, but in an instant, his expression changed drastically, and he cried out in anguish: “Treasures… no!”
What he hadn’t expected was that right before the domain’s destruction, countless treasures flew out from every direction.
“What the hell? Have the ancient clans really been that stupid? After controlling the Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain for so long, how could there still be so many treasures left?” Lin Fan’s heart was bleeding at that moment.
He could only watch helplessly as those treasures were shredded by the violent torrents.
Even with his physical strength now at the “Azure Heaven Initial Stage,” he dared not step forward to collect them.
Pain!
Heart-wrenching pain!
It felt as if a sharp blade had pierced his heart, an indescribable agony.
If heaven granted him another chance, he would never recklessly destroy the “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain” like this. He would have stayed inside for a while, carefully searching. But now, it was too late for regrets.
Boom!
At this moment, the “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain” collapsed like a crumbling tower. The dimensional barriers cracked with a loud noise, gradually merging into a single point before exploding, sending a powerful shockwave surging forward.
Everything was gone, reduced to ashes.
From now on, the Ancient Saint Realm would no longer have the “Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain.”
“Gone!”
Standing at the entrance, Lin Fan grieved as he stared at the annihilated remains of the domain, filled with regret. The massive stone gate had also crumbled into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
“Sigh…”
Lin Fan sighed helplessly. Who could understand this pain?
But soon, he composed himself. It’s fine—it’s not like he needed those treasures to enhance his strength. Moreover, destroying the domain was actually better—it would prevent the ancient clans from using it to massacre people of the Great Thousand Races.
This time, he had followed them inside and killed them all, though it was a shame that Mu Tian had escaped.
That guy still had a spirit vein in his possession. Lin Fan didn’t know exactly what kind of vein it was or what its uses were, but he knew he would need to be cautious in the future.
He had confronted his first enemy in the Ancient Saint Realm, but he wasn’t afraid. In the Xuan Huang Realm, he had outwitted countless people and still made his way through by sheer force.
Just then, space rippled, and a group of people suddenly appeared.
Lin Fan’s expression tensed. He had initially thought they were ancient clan members sensing the destruction of the domain and coming to kill him. But upon seeing who they were, he relaxed—he wasn’t facing the ancient clans.
“Stop! Who are you?” As Lin Fan was about to leave, a sword-wielding man from the floating group in the void shouted sharply, his eyes fierce.
Lin Fan looked at the man in the air. He stood tall and proud, his posture as straight as a sword piercing the heavens.
Surrounded by sword intent, it was clear he belonged to the Sword Clan.
“And who are you?” Lin Fan frowned. The man’s attitude annoyed him, so he didn’t bother to hide his displeasure.
“Hmph!” The man snorted coldly upon seeing Lin Fan’s audacity, and a powerful sword intent erupted, enveloping Lin Fan.
“If you don’t want to die, answer my question!” The man roared, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
What surprised him was the disappearance of the Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain.
The group around the man, a mix of men and women from various races, now wore smirks, clearly not taking Lin Fan seriously.
Lin Fan furrowed his brow, stepped forward, activated his True Dao Seed, and the “Heavenly Sword” erupted. The sword intent behind him completely neutralized the man’s.
“Ah…” The man was surprised, but now intrigued. “Didn’t expect you to have some skill. But plenty of skilled people have died under my sword—Yan Jingtian.”
“Brother Yan, this guy looks suspicious. Why don’t we capture him and let me use my Soul Search technique to find out what he’s up to,” a seductive woman beside Yan Jingtian said with a light smile, her eyes gleaming with cruelty as she eyed Lin Fan like prey.
“Haha, Sister Baili’s Soul Search technique is unrivaled in the world. Anyone subjected to it will spill every secret. We came here for the Ten Thousand Slaughtering Ancient Domain, yet now it’s gone—very strange. Obviously, this guy knows something.”
“Exactly. He appeared near the domain, so he must have come from inside. He must have obtained some treasures. Killing him and looting his treasures would be quite a fortunate gain.”
…
Hearing these words, Lin Fan’s heart sank. These people were here to kill him for his treasures.
