As Lin Fan continued to penetrate deeper, the aura within grew increasingly sharp. A series of axe beams, as if capable of splitting the heavens and carving out a new world, tore through the sky and earth.
These piercing energies slashed at Lin Fan’s body, but against his current physical strength, they caused no harm whatsoever.
“This aura is incredibly powerful. I couldn’t sense it at all from outside—so this must be where the fragment of the Eternal Axe is hidden!” Lin Fan’s heart swelled with joy. Though these axe beams were fierce, they were still insufficient to threaten him.
“Who… is this?”
Suddenly, a mighty voice erupted forth. This voice brimmed with infinite majesty, as if it contained supreme power, piercing through time and space itself.
It was a voice filled with incomparable might—those with weak cultivation might even be shattered to death by its sheer force.
“Haha! Fragment of the Eternal Axe, your grandpa is here!” Lin Fan roared joyfully. The place guided by the Eternal Axe was indeed where the fragment lay hidden.
However, what puzzled Lin Fan was—just who the hell had hidden the fragment of the Eternal Axe here?
Before the myriad realms had merged, Lin Fan had never sensed any fragment of the Eternal Axe.
He had assumed that no such fragment existed in the world, never imagining it had been concealed within another dimension entirely.
When Lin Fan reached the destination, he saw ahead a vast fragment floating in the void.
Covered in dense, intricate runes, the fragment exuded a sharp, piercing aura.
To Lin Fan, this was undoubtedly the aura of the Eternal Axe.
Suddenly, the fragment burst forth with a brilliant light. The light condensed rapidly, eventually forming into a colossal giant.
This giant stood between heaven and earth, wielding a heaven-splitting axe. The might radiating from it seemed capable of cleaving through the sky itself.
Lin Fan was astonished. A mere fragment had actually cultivated its own sentient spirit—an outcome he had not anticipated.
The Eternal Axe had shattered long ago, and over such a long time, it wasn’t impossible for a fragment to cultivate its own path and develop a sentient spirit.
Moreover, the aura it radiated was incredibly formidable—equivalent to the early stage of the Supreme Sovereign Realm.
“Eternal Axe…”
As Lin Fan drew forth the Eternal Axe, the fragment’s sentient spirit suddenly opened its eyes. A vast and mighty force erupted forth.
It seemed as though the fragment’s spirit wished to devour the Eternal Axe itself.
“Submit the Eternal Axe to me, and I shall grant you supreme power,” the fragment’s spirit thundered, its voice brimming with boundless desire.
“You are but a fragment—your destiny is to merge back into the Eternal Axe,” Lin Fan replied.
“No… After cultivating for ten thousand eons, I have become unique. I am no longer part of the Eternal Axe—I am my own being,” the spirit’s voice boomed, filled with supreme authority.
“I won’t waste words with you. A mere fragment dares to act so boldly—prepare to be subdued,” Lin Fan said indifferently. In an instant, his five fingers spread wide and reached directly toward the sentient spirit of the fragment.
Boom!
“You are desecrating me…” the spirit roared, and ten thousand axe beams surged into the sky, slicing through the void as they rushed toward Lin Fan.
“Ahh…”
Lin Fan sighed. This fragment’s spirit had truly brought this upon itself.
With a single hand, each finger wreathed in boundless power, capable of annihilating all things, even the fragment’s spirit—though at the early Zunzhi境—was powerless to resist.
Bang!
Bang!
The void exploded. The fragment spirit’s protective barriers shattered one after another, followed by a pained scream.
“How is this possible!”
The spirit howled in fury, unable to believe what was happening.
Crack!
Lin Fan clenched the fragment’s spirit tightly in his palm.
“Have mercy! I will submit… Grant me life, and I shall give you the greatest power—the power to split heaven and earth!” the spirit wailed, unable to comprehend how it had fallen to such a being.
“Hmph! You were merely a fragment—dare you reverse your fate? Don’t dream!” Lin Fan sneered, tightening his grip.
Crack!
“No!”
The fragment spirit could not believe it had been defeated by a mere living being.
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating the spirit of the Eternal Axe Fragment.”
…
Lin Fan paid no heed to the system message. He seized the fragment directly in his hand and struck it against the Eternal Axe. In an instant, a radiant light of fusion erupted forth.
In the past, the Eternal Axe had been of immense help to Lin Fan. But as his strength grew, its usefulness had gradually diminished.
However, with the fragment now fused, the Eternal Axe would fully evolve into a divine artifact.
Boom!
At that moment, the Eternal Axe suddenly radiated a dazzling brilliance. A towering giant, colossal and mighty, opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing the fragment into its body.
It was the Eternal Axe’s spirit absorbing the fragment, perfecting itself.
In an instant, a primordial aura, as if from an ancient battlefield, surged forth from the Eternal Axe. This was no ordinary aura—it was so powerful that even Lin Fan felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from it.
“Ding, congratulations on merging the fragment.”
“Ding, the Eternal Axe has ascended to the rank of a divine artifact.”
“叮，Comprehended the third form: Creation of Heaven and Earth.”
…
The system’s notifications brought a surge of joy to Lin Fan’s heart. At once, a mysterious force seeped into his body.
At that moment, Lin Fan sensed a martial arts divine ability forming within him.
The Eternal Axe had always possessed innate techniques. Previously, Lin Fan had only mastered the first two. But now, with the Eternal Axe fully restored, its ultimate third technique was now permanently imprinted into Lin Fan’s soul like an indelible mark.
“I never expected the third technique of the Eternal Axe to be this powerful—perhaps even a Supreme Sovereign might struggle to withstand it!” Lin Fan’s heart swelled with boundless joy.
This feeling was exhilarating. Before, he had lacked confidence against Supreme Sovereigns, but now, everything had changed. He was filled with newfound confidence.
“Who…”
Suddenly, Lin Fan sensed someone observing him from the void. But the moment he noticed it, the gaze vanished.
Yet Lin Fan was certain—it had been real, not a mere illusion.
But who could it have been?
He was puzzled. Yet at that moment, Lin Fan felt residual tremors of battle energy rippling through the void—remnants of a clash between mighty beings.
Clearly, other powerful figures were engaged in battle.
Now, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued. He wondered what kind of treasure could provoke such reckless combat between such powerful beings.
