What a Coincidence, I Also Have a Weapon—This Is Something That Cannot Be Looked Upon Directly
The great halberd materialized, and no one could tell what material it had been forged from—its entire body was a deep, ghostly green.
Though it was only twelve feet long, it seemed to carry a weight capable of crushing the universe itself.
The chilling edge of the halberd was covered in ancient, weathered marks, and in some places it was still stained with blood—blood that had never dried.
Those bloodstains were extraordinarily strange, interwoven with divine light, as if they had come from supreme beings who had perished beneath its blade.
Even now, a world-shaking murderous might still radiated from it, shaking the Eight Wastelands.
It was this very weapon of slaughter.
Azure Heaven Immortal King, Profound Earth Immortal King, and the others all showed terror on their faces, shaken by this aura.
They knew full well how terrifying King Ming’s weapon of slaughter was—no small number of Immortal Kings had perished beneath it.
Once, there had even been a peerless Immortal King of the Immortal Domain who was cleaved in two by this weapon, dying on the spot.
It was also by relying on this weapon that King Ming had made so many Immortal Kings of the Other Domain wary of him.
There were rumors that the reason King Ming had been granted an audience with the Ancestor of an Emperor Family of the Other Domain was actually because of this very weapon.
However, no one knew where King Ming’s weapon had come from—there were only speculations.
But judging from King Ming’s words today, could this weapon be connected to the Forbidden Epoch?
And just as Azure Heaven Immortal King, Profound Earth Immortal King, and the others stood in shock, Gu Changge’s gaze fell upon the great halberd, his interest growing ever stronger.
“This peerless weapon of slaughter, obtained by Queen Lunar from who knows where—the Kings of the Immortal Domain once attempted to divine the origins of this weapon, but all of them failed, and some even suffered backlash.”
“There was once an Immortal King who claimed to have seen its form during the Forbidden Epoch, but that too became mere legend.”
“It is recorded in some ancient texts.”
“Whether the two are connected, no one knows.”
“There was even an Immortal King who once tried to rank the weapons of all the current Immortal Kings, and this weapon of slaughter was prominently listed among them, suppressing the weapons of many other Immortal Kings—hailed as a World-Destroying Armament.”
Jin Yuan’s voice trembled as he spoke. Even though a vast black ocean separated them, he still felt his heart palpitate with unease, shaken by the aura coiling around that weapon, his scalp going numb.
A battle between two Immortal Kings, even to determine a victor, would require an extremely long time—ten thousand years, or even longer.
Yet King Ming, through this weapon of slaughter, had cleaved several Immortal Kings in two, staining it with the blood of multiple Immortal Kings. From this, one could see just how terrifying this weapon was.
“Since you possess that replica of the forbidden flask, then you should also recognize this old man’s weapon.”
King Ming stood towering above the firmament, and within his aged voice there now lay a trace of pride and coldness.
He spoke across the black ocean, conversing with Gu Changge from opposite shores.
“Don’t think that just because you possess those two flasks, you are inherently invincible. This old man’s weapon can be called the number one weapon of slaughter beneath the Immortal Emperor Grade, sweeping across the universe with none to match it. Even the Immortal King weapons of other True Worlds must pale before this old man’s weapon.”
“Once, even the Ancestor of an Emperor Family was willing to trade a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Artifact with this old man in exchange.”
“Both are replicas of forbidden artifacts, but when this old man refined this weapon, I expended countless heavenly treasures and earthly riches.”
“On the day of its completion, I even sacrificed several epochs’ worth of my own Immortal King Blood Essence. Though it falls far short of even a fraction of the true article’s form, in the current Immortal Domain, it can be called invincible.”
His tone carried an extremely dense pride.
Back during the Forbidden Epoch, he had not yet become an Immortal King—he was merely a True Daoist, following the Other Domain’s army as they stormed into the collapsing Immortal Palace.
At that time, he had the fortune to witness with his own eyes that strike which annihilated all the heavens.
It was merely a single flash of halberd-light sweeping past, yet all worlds fell to ruin, all ages fell silent. No law could withstand it—the Great Dao itself was collapsing, and the heavens wailed in grief.
He had stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time. In the end, he exhausted all his strength to imprint a trace of that halberd-light’s divine mark within his mind.
And it was that divine mark that made him who he was today—it even helped him achieve the Immortal King Dao.
After becoming an Immortal King, King Ming exhausted every method, attempting to recreate the weapon of slaughter he had witnessed back then.
After many failures, he finally refined this replica.
Although King Ming knew this replica fell far short of even a fraction of what he had witnessed back then, for him, it was enough—enough to let him run rampant among the many Immortal Kings, leaving behind a fearsome, illustrious name that all dreaded.
Hearing these words, Azure Heaven Immortal King, Profound Earth Immortal King, and the others were all stunned, their hearts trembling.
Before this, they truly had never imagined that King Ming’s weapon had such an origin.
Though it was only a replica, it was enough to make Immortal Kings’ courage freeze and their faces change color.
Moreover, most importantly, it was connected to the Forbidden Epoch—just like Gu Changge’s two flasks, it was a replica of a forbidden object.
“I do indeed recognize it.”
A trace of amusement arose in Gu Changge’s heart as he chuckled softly. “However, who told you that the Grand Flask in my hand is a replica?”
“Not a replica?”
King Ming, Profound Earth Immortal King, and Azure Heaven Immortal King were all slightly taken aback at these words, their brows furrowing tightly, not quite believing what Gu Changge had said.
If it wasn’t a replica, how could it possess such vast might—devouring heaven and earth, with nothing able to resist that swallowing force?
Even time and space were annihilated and dissipated in its surroundings.
“If it’s not a replica, then how did you obtain these two flasks?”
“Who exactly are you?”
King Ming’s brows knitted tightly. His great hand shook, and the great halberd tore through the sky, falling into his palm.
Before this, he had been like a withered old man, but in an instant his aura transformed—like a god of slaughter from ten thousand ages past, his murderous aura bursting through the clouds, piercing the firmament, as if it would tear this entire universe apart.
Countless citizens of the Other Domain all prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing and worshipping in his direction, their reverence reaching its utmost extreme.
Profound Earth Immortal King, Azure Heaven Immortal King, and the others retreated toward the surroundings, lest they be swept up in the aftershocks of King Ming’s attack.
Even they were deeply wary of this weapon of slaughter, fearing they would be caught in its wake.
Gu Changge smiled faintly and did not explain.
The next moment, the two Grand Flasks suspended in the empty heights burst apart with a hong, then transformed into a vast black ocean, surging toward the Eight Wastelands of the universe.
It was a sea of black Grand Runes, like a heavenly river bursting its banks, surging mightily, erupting with a hong into an unimaginably terrifying might.
All the star territories trembled, as if struck by a dreadful energy, utterly unable to resist.
Many True Immortals of powerful cultivation shuddered and fell to their knees within it, their divine souls seemingly about to be torn apart.
“This isn’t a weapon—it’s just Grand Runes!”
King Ming, Profound Earth Immortal King, Azure Heaven Immortal King, and the others reacted in the first instant, their expressions changing drastically. They could naturally see that this flask was composed of Grand Runes.
It was absolutely not the refined replica they had initially believed it to be.
They had all been mistaken before, actually mistaking this treasure technique for a weapon.
After realizing this, their expressions underwent tremendous changes—shock, disbelief.
Especially King Ming. Just now, his halberd strike had been enough to tear apart a Great Universe.
Yet it had been unable to cleave through that black ocean.
And now he was being told that this Grand Flask was merely condensed from a treasure technique—not a physical weapon at all.
How could he accept this?
“Impossible. How did you do it? Could it be that you have truly come into contact with that object?”
King Ming’s expression shifted repeatedly. He suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and a thick, burning heat surfaced in his eyes.
For him, the thing he most desperately wanted to do in this life was naturally to truly come into contact with the forbidden object—to observe its true meaning from within, so that the embryonic form he had traced could become more real.
If Gu Changge had come into contact with that object and gained insight from it, condensing the flasks through a treasure technique, then it would not be surprising at all.
“I have indeed come into contact with it.”
Gu Changge still chuckled lightly. “And what a coincidence—I also have a weapon, one quite similar to the one in your hand.”
Hearing these words, King Ming could not help but widen his eyes, filled with utter horror and disbelief.
Hong—
A sky-filling aura of savage slaughter spread out, black light emerging. A pitch-black, coldly gleaming great halberd appeared in Gu Changge’s palm.
He pointed it diagonally toward the southern sky and swept it lightly. The halberd’s edge hummed softly, and the Great Dao itself began to collapse in its wake.
The entire vast firmament split open like paper with a chi-la, revealing a boundless, endless rift, as if leading toward the vast Outer Domain.
That soft hum seemed to shatter ten thousand ages, to rupture all the heavens, sweeping across the universe and the long river of time.
All traces and all Dao techniques were erased beneath that single hum, reduced to dust.
King Ming stared fixedly with wide eyes, his heart filled with horror and disbelief, terrified to the extreme.
How is this possible?
At this moment, he suddenly recalled that halberd-light from the Forbidden Epoch that had swept across all the heavens and worlds—it had been just this vast and terrifying, annihilating everything, severing everything.
His voice trembled, his entire body shaking. Endless fear devoured him, making his legs go weak.
“Tell me—is the weapon in my hand also a replica?”
Though Gu Changge was chuckling softly, the depths of his gaze were a field of cold silence, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
“It’s actually so similar to King Ming’s weapon...”
“Th-this... what on earth is going on?”
Azure Heaven Immortal King, Profound Earth Immortal King, and the others had yet to recover from their shock. They stared fixedly at the Eight Wastelands Halberd in Gu Changge’s hand, trying to discern some clue from it.
But the moment their gazes fell upon it, a cold, ghostly halberd-light suddenly cleaved down within their minds, as if falling from the cold, profound depths of the universe—nearly shattering their divine souls on the spot.
Profound Earth Immortal King and Azure Heaven Immortal King’s minds suffered heavy damage at once, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Their gazes were filled with horror and dread, their voices carrying a trembling they themselves had not even noticed. “This is something... something that cannot be looked upon directly...”
