Wherever the axe light passed, space was torn open by a pitch-black rift that stretched for tens of thousands of feet. The chaotic air currents at the edge of the rift surged and roared, as if they were about to devour everything!

The old man with the hooked nose finally changed his expression completely!

"withdraw!!!"

He shouted sharply and retreated backward without hesitation!

The lean man and the woman with the silver sword also felt the terrifying power contained in that axe blow, and they both withdrew and retreated!

But that axe strike was too fast and covered too wide!

Although the three retreated in time, they were still struck by the aftershocks of the axe's flash.

puff!

puff!

puff!

All three coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered, clearly suffering serious injuries!

Especially the lean man, whose right arm was grazed by the axe light, his entire arm instantly turned to dust, and even the power of the laws could not repair it!

"Walk!"

The old man with the hooked nose made a decisive decision, no longer wanting to fight, and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance!

The other two followed closely behind and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Meng Chuan did not pursue.

It's not that I don't want to pursue it, but rather—

The power of the laws within his body had been almost completely depleted, and forcibly unleashing the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe would place an immense burden on him.

More importantly, he didn't know if he would have the resources to deal with any possible countermeasures the other party might have.

He put away the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Heaven-Opening Axe, checked his internal condition, and gave a wry smile.

The injury wasn't too serious, but it wasn't minor either.

The combined attack of the three men did indeed cause him considerable trouble.

He looked around and found that the continuous mountain forest had been razed to the ground by the battle just now. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the landscape had been completely changed, with broken mountain ranges and cracked earth everywhere.

"Wanxiang Tower... Lufeng..."

Meng Chuan murmured the two names, a cold glint in his eyes.

Although he had no evidence, his intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to the inner elder of Wanxiang Tower.

In the past, after Lu Feng learned of his identity, he outwardly yielded, but the hatred in his heart probably never diminished.

However, due to the formidable reputation of Mount Niming, they dared not retaliate openly, so they hired three desperate criminals to carry out the attack in secret.

"I'll remember this debt."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and turned to fly away into the distance.

He needs to find a quiet place to heal his wounds.

……

Meng Chuan found a secluded valley, set up layers of restrictions, and sealed off the surrounding space with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl before he could sit down and heal his injuries in peace.

This period of seclusion lasted for several years.

Several years later, his injuries were basically healed, and the power of the laws within his body also returned to its peak state.

But he was in no hurry to leave the pass.

Because, during his recovery, a thought suddenly occurred to him—

Since he reforged the Heaven-Opening Axe, the God-Slaying Spear has been left idle.

"With my current strength, I might already be able to fuse them into one..."

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan's heart involuntarily quickened.

If successful, the power of the newly created treasure will far exceed the sum of the two!

Perhaps, it can transcend the category of Chaos Treasures and become a "Primordial Treasure"!

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Meng Chuan made a quick decision and decided to give it a try.

He took out the God-Slaying Spear and the Heaven-Opening Axe, suspending the two treasures in front of him, then closed his eyes and began to deduce the method of fusion.

This deduction took ten years.

Ten years later, he opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in them, but more so excitement.

He found a way.

Although the risks are extremely high, it is theoretically feasible.

Without hesitation, he immediately began the refining process.

……

Another thirty years have passed.

Suddenly, a tremendous aura erupted from the valley!

The aura was so strong that it even triggered celestial phenomena—the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles instantly became covered with dark clouds and thunder roared, as if the heavens and earth were trembling!

After a short while, everything returned to calm.

In the valley, Meng Chuan held a brand-new battle axe in his hand, examining it carefully.

The shape of the battle axe was somewhere between the God-Slaying Spear and the Heaven-Opening Axe—the blade was long and narrow, with the sharpness of a spear tip, while the back of the axe was thick and heavy, retaining the domineering nature of the Heaven-Opening Axe.

Two completely different lights flowed across the axe's body—one was a chaotic, primordial power, and the other was a dark red, malevolent aura. The two intertwined and merged, forming a terrifying power unlike anything seen before.

"It's a success..."

Meng Chuan muttered to himself, a hint of undisguised joy flashing in his eyes.

He could sense that the power of this new battle axe, even if it didn't reach the level of a "Primordial Treasure," was probably close.

After leaving the pass, Meng Chuan did not continue traveling outside, but decided to return to the Gu Hong Holy Land first.

Over the years, he has traveled around and left behind many clues. Perhaps Yan Qing will hear about him and go to the Lonely Goose Holy Land to find him.

He traveled south and returned to the sacred land of the Lone Goose.

The moment he stepped through the mountain gate, a hint of anticipation stirred within him.

Perhaps Yan Qing is already waiting for him inside.

However, when he inquired with the inner gatekeeper in charge of registering visitors, the reply he received was—

No one came looking for him.

Meng Chuan remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

As expected, but still somewhat disappointing.

He returned to Mount Niming, settled in his thatched hut, and spent his days honing his power of laws and familiarizing himself with the new Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. His days passed peacefully.

Only occasionally would he gaze at the distant horizon, silently thinking to himself—

Where is his disciple Yan Qing?

And Houtu...

……

On this day, Meng Chuan was meditating cross-legged in his thatched hut when he suddenly heard the communication array outside the cave ring.

He opened the barrier, and saw an outer disciple standing at the door, respectfully reporting:

"Senior Brother Mengchuan, there is a woman outside the mountain gate who specifically asked to visit you."

Meng Chuan's heart stirred.

woman?

Could it be Yan Qing?

He immediately stood up, and in a flash, flew towards the mountain gate.

A moment later, he landed outside the gate of the Lonely Goose Holy Land.

Then, he saw that figure.

It was a woman, dressed in a plain white dress, with long hair like a waterfall, an exquisite face, and skin as white as jade. She was surrounded by a faint ice-blue halo, and her temperament was cool and pure.

She stood quietly outside the mountain gate, as if she had merged with the surrounding world.

Meng Chuan was stunned.

It's not Yan Qing.

But he was also familiar with this person.

It could even be said that he was more familiar with her than Yan Qing.

"Hou... Houtu?"

His voice carried a hint of disbelief, a hint of surprise, and a hint of disorientation.

After many years apart, have I finally seen her again?

When Houtu saw him, a faint smile appeared on her face, a smile as warm and relieved as the first melting of snow.

"have not seen you for a long time."
