Chapter 957: One Axe Shakes the Heavens and Earth

But Zhong Shan is a Grand Immortal! Even with the power of Great Zheng\'s world, he\'s still just a Grand Immortal. A Grand Immortal could never grasp Heaven\'s Dao!

Yet what was before their eyes contradicted everything. It was real!

People fell silent, their eyes wide open, staring intently.

Before them were two towering Heaven\'s Dao pillars, connected by a gigantic turtle-shell-like Heaven\'s Dao Cage. The two Heaven\'s Dao pillars stood unmovable, but the Heaven\'s Dao Cage began to tremble.

"It\'s really the power of Heaven\'s Dao! Zhong Shan broke through!"

"How extraordinary is Zhong Shan!"

As people marveled, suddenly, two beams of sharp light emerged from the white shell, one above and one below. The beams pierced through the shell with a thunderous crack. The silver beams were surrounded by countless runes.

"It\'s an axe, a silver axe!"

"The Heaven-Splitting Axe? How could it be? The Heaven-Splitting Axe!"

"The most powerful artifact of the Small Thousand World, the Heaven-Splitting Axe!"

People immediately recognized the Heaven-Splitting Axe, their shock boundless. How could the Heaven-Splitting Axe appear in the Great Thousand World? Wasn\'t it taken by Heaven?

Did Zhong Shan leave behind the Heaven-Splitting Axe?

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a colossal sound, the gigantic axe shattered the enormous shell, breaking the Heaven\'s Dao Cage.

The formidable Heaven-Splitting Strike roared toward Old Ancestor Xuemei.

The Heaven-Splitting Strike, temporarily only one move, but it was Zhong Shan\'s most powerful strike. He had used it once in the Small Thousand World, during his battle against Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan, a peerless fierce figure with an eighteen-armed golden body. Yet Zhong Shan, still a mortal at that time, used the Heaven-Splitting Strike to cleave half of the Shenzhou Continent!

What a mighty strike that was!

Now, Zhong Shan had reached the realm of a Grand Immortal. His Heavenly Demon Body Refining technique had reached the ninth layer, and his empire had evolved into a Holy Court.

The power of one strike, the Heaven-Splitting Strike, was evidently stronger.

The enormous axe shattered the Heaven\'s Dao Cage. People vaguely saw Zhong Shan\'s massive figure. With one strike, the axe fiercely slashed toward the white Heaven\'s Dao and Old Ancestor Xuemei.

The strike seemed to carry the might of the silver Heaven\'s Dao behind Zhong Shan, crashing forward with unstoppable force.

This terrifying strike made almost everyone\'s hearts tremble with fear. It was so grand that in an instant, everyone felt like a pebble at the foot of a heavenly mountain. How insignificant they were.

Seeing the axe strike, Old Ancestor Xuemei knew things were dire. It seemed there was no escape. Without hesitation, she summoned another treasure, a white longsword. The sword, imbued with the power of Heaven\'s Dao, clashed fiercely with Zhong Shan\'s axe.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The powerful collision of two Heaven\'s Dao forces.

With a colossal noise, the entire Nuwa World suddenly shook.

Just like the day when Ying and Zhuangzi clashed, the domineering sound echoed throughout the Nuwa World.

The Heaven-Splitting Axe versus the Xuemei Sword!

Heaven and earth trembled, and at the center of the collision, a monstrous tidal wave of space surged outwards, sweeping in all directions. Those nearby retreated frantically; the collision of Heaven\'s Dao forces was something they could not withstand. Those who moved too slowly were crushed into powder on the spot.

Zhong Shan\'s Heaven-Splitting Strike! At this moment, in the eyes of many, that axe was not just shocking but terrifying.

One strike shook the heavens and earth!

Some powerful beings even saw a massive black hole forming at the center, shattering the void.

Such immense power!

In a distant valley, Ying, Guiguzi, and Bai Qi were quietly observing.

"Heaven-Splitting Strike, what a powerful Heaven-Splitting Strike. I\'ve always underestimated Zhong Shan\'s strength. Who would\'ve thought, who would\'ve thought Zhong Shan was this strong!" Bai Qi said solemnly.

Bai Qi had always respected Zhong Shan because of Ying\'s attitude. Ying respected Zhong Shan, so Bai Qi did as well. However, in Bai Qi\'s heart, while he admired Zhong Shan\'s other qualities, he always thought Zhong Shan\'s strength was lacking. But today, with the Heaven-Splitting Strike, Bai Qi put away all his disdain. This axe was too domineering, a strike he himself couldn\'t execute!

"Heaven-Splitting Strike. Holy King, don\'t you think the way Zhong Shan swung that axe resembles that legend?" Guiguzi said gravely.

"Zhong Shan comprehended the true essence of the Heaven-Splitting Axe. The power he wielded is indeed reminiscent of that legendary figure!" Ying nodded.

"Sir, who does Zhong Shan\'s Heaven-Splitting Strike resemble?" Bai Qi asked in confusion.

"Remember that place the Holy King once took us to in a dream? Where Hongjun, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and even Fuxi emerged from. There was a legend of the Heaven-Splitting Axe there!" Guiguzi said calmly.

"Pangu\'s axe?" Bai Qi immediately thought of it.

"Yes, precisely Pangu\'s axe. Thousands of years have passed, Hongjun and others have died, and few remember Pangu\'s axe now, but it doesn\'t erase the legend of Pangu\'s axe!" Guiguzi said solemnly.

"Just as you said, sir!" Bai Qi nodded with admiration.

In the distance, the powerful shockwave forced everyone to flee desperately.

Among them, Luo Xingchen was the most stunned. He knew the Holy King was strong, but this was too exaggerated! Was the Holy King really just at the Grand Immortal stage?

The moment the Xuemei Sword collided with the Heaven-Splitting Axe, Old Ancestor Xuemei realized the immense power of the Heaven-Splitting Strike. It drew on the power of Heaven\'s Dao, directly integrating into her own Heaven\'s Dao.

Old Ancestor Xuemei\'s eyes were bloodshot as she roared, "Die~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Old Ancestor Xuemei, after all, was a seasoned Patriarch Immortal with countless techniques and boundless power. The Heaven-Splitting Strike, such a powerful move, was actually blocked.

But Old Ancestor Xuemei felt no joy. The Xuemei Sword, under the Heaven-Splitting Axe, was shattered.

With a loud roar, Old Ancestor Xuemei exerted all her strength. This was the moment the massive black hole formed in the eyes of others!

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a colossal noise, the black hole appeared. The Heaven-Splitting Strike had torn through the space of the Great Thousand World.

In the Small Thousand World, when Zhong Shan cleaved Kong Xuan\'s eighteen-armed golden body, he collapsed and fell unconscious. Now, Zhong Shan was extremely exhausted, collapsing into the black hole.

As Zhong Shan fell into the black hole, he disappeared instantly. The terrifying spatial tremors caused the entire Nuwa Realm to shake violently!

When the shaking stopped, people saw the scene of Zhong Shan being swallowed by the black hole. The black hole slowly sealed itself, and the surrounding space ceased its turbulence.

Almost everyone stared fixedly in that direction. The two Heaven\'s Daos vanished. The surrounding area was reduced to a desert, with only Old Ancestor Xuemei remaining.

Zhong Shan disappeared. Was he dead?

In front of Old Ancestor Xuemei lay a gigantic turtle shell, the Nine Palaces Heaven-Pushing Turtle Shell Diagram, split in two, with spider web-like cracks all over. The Snow Plum Sword, which she had spent her entire life refining, was crushed, leaving only the hilt. Old Ancestor Xuemei\'s left arm was severed, with blood staining half her body. She clutched her left arm with her right hand, sweat covering her face.

Old Ancestor Xuemei had suffered a massive loss!

She had thought Zhong Shan would be easy to deal with, but in the end, they both were gravely injured. Though she managed to eliminate Zhong Shan, the cost was too high.

Her Plum Blossom Eye was destroyed! The Nine Palaces Heaven-Pushing Turtle Shell Diagram was ruined! The Snow Plum Sword was shattered! Her left arm, essential for most of her divination techniques, was severed!

Old Ancestor Xuemei realized this was her greatest loss in history!

The surroundings fell silent. People looked at Old Ancestor Xuemei without saying a word for a long time.

"Is Zhong Shan dead?"

"Yes, no Grand Immortal can survive being crushed by a black hole!"

"You\'ve said many times before that Zhong Shan would die miserably, but you\'ve never been right!"

"...!"

"...!"

"This time he must be dead. With Old Ancestor Xuemei suffering such heavy losses, if Zhong Shan were still alive, it would be too unreasonable. And despite Old Ancestor Xuemei\'s severe injuries, it\'s clear she vented her hatred."

"Zhong Shan is dead!"

"Dead? What a pity for someone so powerful!"

People lamented Zhong Shan\'s demise continuously. His aura was completely gone, vanished. Yet, his formidable presence would forever remain in everyone\'s hearts.

A Grand Immortal who could push a Patriarch Immortal to such an extent would be remembered in history!

In the distance, Old Ancestor Xuemei was filled with resentment. She was certain Zhong Shan was dead; otherwise, it would defy all reason.

Why was she so unlucky? How could a Holy King at the Grand Immortal stage cause such devastating damage? Was Zhong Shan truly too strong, or was she just too unfortunate?

Unfortunate? Could it be caused by Zhong Shan\'s eye technique?

Thinking about Zhong Shan\'s eye technique, Old Ancestor Xuemei felt a surge of anger. Everything was caused by that eye technique. Hmph, bad luck?

"Old Ancestor Xuemei, you killed my master! Today, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect will fight you to the death!"

"Old Ancestor Xuemei, you killed my brother! Today is your death day!"

"Old Ancestor Xuemei, you killed my husband! Today, I will take your life!"

Suddenly, seven or eight peerless experts jumped out. They were all enemies of Old Ancestor Xuemei. Before, none dared to confront her, but now, with her so severely injured, it was the perfect time.

Old Ancestor Xuemei glared fiercely at the group. Blue light? Her bad luck wasn\'t over?

Because Old Ancestor Xuemei saw a newly ascended Patriarch Immortal in the distance, his eyes flashing. Although he had just entered the Patriarch Immortal stage, he clearly desired something from Old Ancestor Xuemei.

Filled with anger, Old Ancestor Xuemei\'s figure blurred and disappeared from everyone\'s sight.

A large group of strong cultivators disappeared along with her, some seeking revenge, others looking to take advantage of the chaos. In any case, challenging Zhong Shan today was Old Ancestor Xuemei\'s biggest mistake!
