Walker Of The Worlds

"It really worked." Head Elder Dajian muttered seeing a new thing.

A few seconds after the bond was formed, the Flash Cleave Axe calmed down and no longer spoke. Since it had found its master, it only needed to do whatever its master commanded. There was no need for it to speak anymore.

"How is it?" Lin Mu asked.

~WOONG~

Xiao Yang instinctively understood abilities of the Flash Cleave Axe and injected his immortal Qi into it.

The Flash Cleave Axe glowed at that moment, before Xiao Yang swung it in the air with ease.

~FLASH~

A blinding flash of light was seen, before an arc of energy shot out from the Axe. It cut through air and reached the walls of the forge where it was stopped by the barriers.

~BOOM~

The barrier sustained damage and was almost cracked from the impact.

"Such power…" The two head elders were surprised.

They had seen the amount of Immortal Qi used by Xiao Yang and it wasn't much. At the very least, it shouldn't have had such an effect. After all, the barrier of the forge was very strong. And while only one of the layers was affected, it wasn't an easy thing to do still.

"Careful, Xiao Yang. Don't damage the place." Lin Mu said with concern.

"It's fine." Head Elder Heng spoke. 

"Yes, the place won't be damaged." Head Elder Dajian replied. "Actually, we would like to see more." He added after a moment.

"More?" Lin Mu raised a brow.

"Yes, more." Head Elder Dajian nodded.

"We have yet to see the full capabilities of the Flash Cleave Axe. As its creators, we wish to know how it works. We have to record it too, for learning further from it." Head Elder Heng explained.

"That does make sense." Lin Mu nodded his head. "If you say so, we can go ahead. But… it'll be best if you activate the full defenses of the forge. Just in case." He advised.

"We'll do it sure." Head Elder Dajian saw no fault in that.

"Activating all barriers." Head Elder Heng controlled the formations and diverted the power to the defensive formation array. 

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Multiple barriers became visible and their power was further increased. Before this, the power of the formations was distributed half into defense and half into offense since the Flash Cleave Axe was a threat. But now all of it was being focused on defense.

Lin Mu briefly scanned the fomentation arrays with his Immortal sense and judged them to be more than enough.

'It would take me a few days to break through these too.' Lin Mu reckoned. 'At least with just raw strength. I should still be able to bypass it through other means though.' He thought.

"Should I go attack?" Xiao Yang asked after a bit.

"Yes, go on. Show us the power of the Flash Cleave Axe." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay~" Xiao Yang replied with a hiss and raised the Flash Cleave Axe. 

Strings of white energy rose from Xiao Yang's body and entered the Flash Cleave Axe, causing all the runes on it to shine. 

~HUMM~

This time, Xiao Yang was properly using his power which stunned the two Head Elders.

"Is that… Yang Immortal Qi?" Head Elder Dajian muttered in surprise.

"It is!" Head Elder Heng said with confidence. 

He had the opportunity to witness Yang Immortal Qi before and as such identified it to be exactly that. Of course, the Yang Immortal Qi that he had seen in the past hadn't come from a cultivator, but rather a treasure that was used to store it.

As such there were some differences, but the basic properties were the same.

"The snake can really use Yang Immortal Qi… it has an affinity to the Yang Dao." Head Elder Dajian still found it unbelievable.

It was almost a dream to see something like this for him.

~WOONG~

While they were marveling at Xiao Yang, the snake had powered the Flash Cleave Axe. He swung the glowing Axe, creating an arc of light that shot towards the barriers.

~BOOM~

Another explosion was heard, as the barrier bent from the impact. 

"It actually managed the bend it even now?" Head Elder Heng was astounded. "Even if greater power was used, we had also improved the defensive power of the barriers." 

Since the Flash Cleave Axe was their creation, the two head elders knew how far its power could go. What they were seeing was different from their initial calculations.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

They continued to watch, as Xiao Yang continued to attack the barrier, swinging the Flash Cleave Axe again and again.

Lin Mu who was observing it finally realized one of the functions of the Flash Cleave Axe.

'So that's what that formation was for…' Lin Mu thought.

"Try attacking the barrier directly." It was now that Head Elder Dajian spoke. "The weapon skill of the Flash Cleave Axe is activated by physical contact." He added.

"Do as he said, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu ordered.

"Okay~" Xiao Yang said before rushing towards the barrier.

~CLANG~

The Flash Cleave Axe made contact with the barrier, making a loud noise.

~CRACK~

And then a moment later, the barrier was unable to endure it and cracked.

~DENG~

The Flash Cleave Axe cut through the first barrier and hit the second one behind it!

"Do it again. The more you do, the greater the power will become." Head Elder Heng chimed in.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

Xiao Yang continued to strike the barriers, breaking them one after the other. 

The scene was rather strange and if the council of the Serene Glass Valley saw this they would be baffled. The two Head Elders were willfully asking a beast to destroy their own property. 

Lin Mu who was observing it all, focused on the formations of the Flash Cleave Axe and saw them work.

The formations were intricate and had links that made them work together. The effects brought about by their combination was entirely different than the original, as such Lin Mu was highly intrigued by it all.
