Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

"What... what is that thing?"

"It seems to be an axe!"

"How could there be an axe at the foot of the mountain?"

"Perhaps it’s an Immortal Artifact left by some immortal!"

"The entire mountain has been leveled, yet that axe remains unscathed. It must be an extraordinary Immortal Artifact!"

"Maybe it’s an Emperor’s Instrument!"

...

The attention of all the immortals was focused as they saw beneath the Giant Axe Mountain, leveled by the Heaven Devouring Pot, a protruding object revealing itself to be an axe.

The axe was about three feet long, buried within the Giant Axe Mountain for who knows how many years, appearing rusted and exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

However, none of the immortals ignored this axe; they understood that without this axe, the Giant Axe Mountain would have ceased to exist under the first attack of the Mysterious Demon Emperor.

Upon seeing the axe, the Mysterious Demon Emperor couldn’t help but let out an excited howl toward the sky.

Then, with a stretch of his hand, he attempted to grab the axe.

Fang Bai watched coldly, knowing that if the axe was a Divine Artifact, the Mysterious Demon Emperor wouldn’t easily possess it.

Sure enough, as the Mysterious Demon Emperor’s fingers were about to touch the axe, the axe suddenly flew up, evading him.

"Trying to escape?"

The Mysterious Demon Emperor, having missed his mark, let out a sinister laugh, his demonic palm tearing through the air, speeding up to grab it again.

His hand moved faster than imagined, yet the axe evaded even more swiftly, dodging once more.

The Mysterious Demon Emperor became enraged, his demonic palm transformed into countless overlapping shadows in the air, as if weaving a Heaven’s Net, covering thousands of miles, closing in on the axe.

The axe was sealed off on all sides, seemingly with nowhere to escape.

Fang Bai knew that if the axe were truly a Divine Artifact, it wouldn’t willingly surrender; it would fight back with all its might.

"Buzz!"

The once rusty axe suddenly trembled violently, waves of imperial might resonating from the tremors, spreading outwards like ripples.

As the axe trembled, the rust rapidly peeled away, revealing a dark and shining axe blade.

At this moment, Fang Bai sensed a divine power fluctuation similar to that of a Starshine Stone emanating from the axe blade, speculating that the material used to forge the axe likely came from the Endless Space beyond this realm.

The axe suddenly expanded a thousandfold, from a small three-foot axe into a towering giant axe, proudly standing in the void, like a deity, its light growing ever brighter as countless axe beams slashed outward in all directions.

The demonic palms surrounding the giant axe disintegrated under the onslaught of those axe beams.

The giant axe instantly shrunk back to three feet, transforming into a black streak, flying towards the massive barrier ahead, seemingly trying to escape into the barrier.

The Mysterious Demon Emperor, seeing this, appeared quite anxious, stomping his foot, his figure turning into a flash of lightning, chasing the giant axe at full speed.

"Boom!"

When the axe struck the barrier, a violent ripple spread out within a radius of several meters from the point of impact, creating fine cracks visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Fang Bai suddenly gained an insight.

"Could it be that the Mysterious Demon Emperor is so eager to obtain the axe because it is the ’key’ to unlocking this barrier?"

With this thought, Fang Bai felt a rush of excitement.

Within the barrier, there must be great opportunities. For millions of years, countless immortals have attempted to break through the barrier to enter, all to no avail.

The Mysterious Demon Emperor, having specifically traveled from the Demon Realm to this barrier and lingered outside for a long time, clearly also intended to enter.

Fang Bai continuously observed the Mysterious Demon Emperor’s expressions and changes in demeanor, guessing that he certainly had some understanding of both the barrier and the axe.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

With consecutive earth-shattering booms, the axe continuously battered the barrier, eventually forming a foot-wide crack.

At this point, the Mysterious Demon Emperor, having caught up, threw the Heaven Devouring Pot into the void.

The Heaven Devouring Pot shot out a beam of golden light, enveloping the axe, the powerful suction force resembling the hand of a deity, persistently pulling the axe towards the pot, as if trying to absorb it.

The axe, also a Divine Artifact, had its pride. How could it submit to the Heaven Devouring Pot?

As the golden light from the Heaven Devouring Pot enveloped it, the axe emitted radiant black light, buzzing loudly, releasing an astounding force of resistance.

The two Divine Artifacts drew closer and then apart, locked in a stalemate.

The Mysterious Demon Emperor’s gaze fell on the crack created by the axe, revealing an expression of delight.

He no longer concerned himself with the axe, rapidly shrinking his form, and slipped through the crack into the barrier.

Originally, Fang Bai intended to follow the Mysterious Demon Emperor into the barrier, but after a moment’s thought, he ascended into the air and summoned the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, hurling it towards the Heaven Devouring Pot with full force.

The Heaven Devouring Pot was an Emperor’s Instrument of the Demon Clan, while the axe exuded a grand righteousness. Fang Bai acted to lend the axe a helping hand, assisting it in escaping the entanglement of the Heaven Devouring Pot.

Although the Heaven Devouring Pot was a Divine Artifact, possessing immense power, at this moment most of its energy was focused on the standoff with the axe. Ordinary external forces might not affect it, but Fang Bai’s Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, being a Divine Artifact, managed to knock the Heaven Devouring Pot away under the axe’s counterattack.

Luckily, the axe had been slumbering beneath the mountain for eons, its power not fully awakened. Though it knocked the Heaven Devouring Pot away, it didn’t inflict damage upon it.

At that moment, from within the barrier came a long howl from the Mysterious Demon Emperor, the Heaven Devouring Pot seemed to be summoned, flying into the barrier.

Fang Bai glanced at the axe, then also reduced his size, passing through the crack and entering the barrier.

The axe dimmed its light, following Fang Bai into the barrier.

Upon entering the barrier, Fang Bai immediately felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him.

The pressure was far more intense than Fang Bai had imagined, akin to being in Endless Space, unable to remain there for long.

Fang Bai became increasingly certain that the one capable of laying down such a great barrier must be at least a Great Emperor Level Expert.

It’s fortunate that Fang Bai’s combat power was equivalent to an Emperor Realm Expert; otherwise, he would have had to rely on the Divine Artifacts he carried to withstand the pressure inside the barrier and to stand his ground.

Fang Bai witnessed with his own eyes several Immortal Emperor Realm Peak experts also entering the barrier after them, seeking opportunity, only to have their bodies explode and perish under the pressure within the barrier.

Afterward, no other immortals dared to venture into the barrier rashly.

After entering the barrier, Fang Bai initially intended to release his Divine Sense to search for the whereabouts of the Mysterious Demon Emperor but found that his Divine Sense was severely obstructed here, only capable of probing a range of a hundred miles.

Worried that the Mysterious Demon Emperor might launch a sudden attack, catching him off guard, Fang Bai tightly gripped the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his right hand and held the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron in his left.

With these two Divine Artifacts for protection, Fang Bai felt much more at ease, confident that even if the Mysterious Demon Emperor launched a surprise assault, he would be able to fend it off.

It was only then that Fang Bai began to observe carefully the scenes and objects within the barrier.
