383: Chapter 370 Fragments of the Great Dao
Between heaven and earth, only the roar of destruction remained.
Although Empress Nuwa forcibly prolonged his life with the Luck of humanity, allowing Lin Feng to temporarily possess the purple-gold battle armor known as the "Human Emperor·Heavenly Emperor Physique", his opponents were, after all, the Three Pure Ones.
The Taiji Diagram of the Taiqing Saint, Laozi, transformed into a Golden Bridge to the Other Shore, stabilizing the earth, water, fire, and wind, compressing every inch of space where Lin Feng was into solid crystals.
The Pangu Banner in the hands of the Yuqing Saint, Primordial Heaven Lord, ripped open thousands of Chaos Sword Qi with every swing, like a black rainstorm, frantically slicing at Lin Feng's protective divine light.
"Lin Feng, give up."
Although the Master of Tongtian was holding back, hindered by the control of the Saint-Slaying Pill, the Qingping Sword in his hand still had to slash out fierce sword beams, "Humanity may be strong, but it is ultimately beneath the Heavenly Dao. The power you have borrowed is about to be exhausted."
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, a trace of purple-gold blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
He could feel that the System inside his body, which usually only knew how to complain and issue tasks, was currently emitting alarm sounds of being overwhelmed.
[Warning! Energy reserves remaining at 12%.]
[Warning! Body damage rate has reached 65%. Shield is about to overload.]
[Warning! Detected that the Pangu Banner has released the "Heaven-Opening Profound Truth", lethality rate 99.9%.]
"Damn it... is this really where I'm going to end up?"
Lin Feng wiped the blood from his face, his eyes still as fierce as a lone wolf driven into a desperate situation.
"System, you bastard! You bragged so much before, claiming to be the strongest support in the myriad worlds, don't drop the ball at a critical moment! Do you have any trump cards hidden away? For example, if I self-destruct, can I take one of them with me?"
The System fell silent. Only those strings of red error codes were dancing frantically on Lin Feng's retina.
Just then, the Primordial Heaven Lord, who had been high and mighty, seemed to have lost his patience.
"Evil spawn, if you are allowed to grow, you will surely become a great disaster. Today, let you witness what true Heaven-Opening power is!"
The Primordial Heaven Lord gripped the Pangu Banner tightly with both hands, pouring all his Saintly power into it without reservation.
"Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting · Void Destruction!"
Boom—!!!
An unprecedented, terrifying black light erupted from the Pangu Banner.
That was not light; it was the pure Law of destruction, the edge of the axe blade when Great God Pangu split open Chaos and slaughtered the three thousand demon gods!
This strike was enough to re-refine earth, water, fire, and wind, and enough to instantly erase a Grand Unity Golden Immortal into nothingness.
Facing this fatal strike, Lin Feng, whose body was fixed by the Taiji Diagram, had nowhere to hide.
The shadow of death, for the first time, clearly shrouded his heart.
However.
Just at the moment when that Heaven-Opening intent, representing "absolute sharpness", touched Lin Feng's body, the very instant Lin Feng thought he would surely die.
The System in his mind suddenly stopped all its alarms.
Replacing them was a sigh.
"Sigh..."
This sigh was not a mechanical electronic synthesized sound, but an ancient, desolate, and lonely sigh filled with endless domineering Aura.
It seemed to have traveled through the River of Time of hundreds of millions of years, coming from the time when Chaos first opened.
Immediately after, Lin Feng felt a hot current, so boiling that it almost melted his Soul, explode inside his body.
[Detected extreme stimulation from a source of the same Origin...]
[Seal release program initiated.]
[System core data is being reorganized... Logic locks have been shattered.]
[True identity authentication: Passed.]
"Hum—!!!"
An indescribable, terrifying Aura erupted from within Lin Feng's body.
This Aura was ancient and noble, domineering and wild; it was a will that transcended the Saints!
The Primordial Heaven Lord, who was swinging the Pangu Banner preparing to claim a head, suddenly changed his expression drastically.
Because he discovered with horror that the Innate Magic Treasure in his hand, the Pangu Banner, which dared to stand against even the Dao Ancestor, was actually trembling!
It was not the excitement of encountering a strong enemy, but... fear!
It was the trembling and submission from the depths of the Origin, like a subject meeting their king, or descendants meeting their ancestor!
"What is happening?! Why is the Pangu Banner out of control?!" The Primordial Heaven Lord was shocked, veins bulging on his hands as he tried to suppress the Magic Treasure's strange movement, only to find that the Pangu Banner seemed to have gained its own consciousness and was frantically trying to break free from his control.
It was not just the Pangu Banner.
The Taiji Diagram above Laozi's head in the distance also let out a mournful cry; the Golden Bridge collapsed instantly, and the scroll shook violently.
Even the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords behind the Master of Tongtian were emitting crisp sword hums at this moment, as if bowing in a certain direction.
Lin Feng was also stunned at this moment.
His consciousness was pulled into a strange, pure white space. Here, he saw no data streams, nor any technological panels.
He only saw an axe.
An ancient, massive axe that seemed to bear the weight of the entire Universe.
Wrapped around the axe blade were three thousand purple Dao chains, each one representing a supreme Law.
The axe phantom slowly shrank, finally turning into a stream of light that merged into the depths of Lin Feng's Soul.
The System's voice sounded again, but this voice was no longer cold; it carried a domineering arrogance of being the only one supreme:
[Host, let's reintroduce ourselves.]
[This System is not some artificial intelligence, nor is it a technological product.]
[I am a fragment of the artifact spirit of the Great God Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe. Back then, when Pangu exhausted his strength and fell, the axe split into three (Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, Chaos Bell). But the only core of the artifact spirit escaped into the River of Time, merging with that 'escaped one' strand of Grandmist Violet Qi.]
[I have been searching, searching for that Soul capable of breaking the cage and possessing infinite possibilities.]
[That person is you.]
Lin Feng was dumbfounded, and then an unspeakable ecstasy surged into his heart: "Holy crap! So I've been holding onto Great God Pangu's inheritance all along? You are the Soul of the Pangu Axe? No wonder you can challenge the Heavenly Dao, no wonder you can modify the Laws!"
[Previously, I had insufficient energy and was in hibernation. Now, since these unfilial descendants are holding my body parts to attack me, don't blame me for being impolite.]
[Host, lend me your hand.]
In the real world.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes; his originally purple-gold pupils instantly turned into a deep Chaos.
His injuries healed instantly, and an Aura that made heaven and earth change color swept out.
He reached out his right hand, making a grasping motion toward the Void Realm.
He softly spat out two words:
"Axe, come!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a natural descent of the Law.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two streams of light streaked across the sky.
The Pangu Banner in the Primordial Heaven Lord's hand actually forcibly broke free from the Saint's control!
The Taiji Diagram above Laozi's head also instantly rolled up, no longer obeying the Taiqing Saint's command!
"No!!!" Primordial and Laozi exclaimed in unison, their eyes full of disbelief, "This is impossible! These are supreme treasures bestowed by our teacher, refined for hundreds of millions of years, how could they be taken away?!"
But the facts were before their eyes.
The two treasures did not attack Lin Feng in mid-air, but turned into countless points of light, like young swallows returning to their nest, frantically pouring into Lin Feng's hand.
The light condensed.
Although lacking the Chaos Bell, making it impossible to recreate the complete physical Pangu Axe, in Lin Feng's hand, a giant axe light-shadow between reality and illusion was condensed.
The axe blade was the sharpness of the Pangu Banner, the axe back was the heaviness of the Taiji Diagram, and the System in Lin Feng's hand was the Soul of this axe!
At this moment, the Aura on Lin Feng surpassed the Saints, directly approaching the Heavenly Dao!
"Three Senior Martial Uncles."
