CHAPTER 1544: CHAPTER 1564: GIANT AXE

"In a month, there will be celestial phenomena? And I will face a calamity?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned repeatedly. This was calculated by the King of Eight Directions, a figure ranked fourth among the ancestors, revered as the Divine Calculation Master, renowned for his prophetic skills.

"This is what the old man of Eight Directions said, and he has never made a mistake in his calculations, so, Brother Dao, you must be careful!" Master Timothy cautioned.

"Why did the King of Eight Directions calculate my fate?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"That I do not know!" Master Timothy shook his head and said, "That old man of Eight Directions is unpredictable, without any apparent pattern in his actions."

"Alright, I will take this matter seriously. I will be vigilant in a month," Yusuf Zuck nodded.

"Hm, Brother Dao, please follow me." Master Timothy stood up at this moment, likely to present Yusuf Zuck with a mystical treasure.

Yusuf Zuck quickly followed, with the big black dog trailing three steps behind. This dog was intelligent; though it couldn’t speak, it understood human speech, and its intelligence was on par with any ancestor.

Its task was to protect Yusuf Zuck, so wherever Yusuf went, the dog followed.

Master Timothy exited the grand hall, passed through a long corridor, and flew out of the Palace of Timothy, heading northwards. After flying for nearly half an hour, the trio landed beneath a mountain waterfall.

Master Timothy pointed at the mountain waterfall, shouting, "Open the Water Gate!"

"Crash—" The mountain waterfall parted to both sides like a curtain, revealing a giant entrance. As soon as the entrance appeared, a ray of light shot out, transforming into steps in the void, extending to Timothy’s feet.

Master Timothy stepped onto it, followed by Yusuf, with the big black dog in tow.

The two and the dog quickly entered the cave, and as soon as they stepped inside, Yusuf’s eyes were suddenly blinded by a light so intense that he couldn’t open them, even the big black dog instinctively closed its eyes.

"It is this one!" Master Timothy said in a deep voice.

Yusuf Zuck extended his mind towards the light and saw a giant axe, emitting blinding white light, even though the axe itself was black.

It was strange, a black axe gleaming with white light? This axe, Brother Timothy, why can’t you wield it?"

"Can’t even touch it!" Master Timothy smiled bitterly, "It took a lot of effort just to move it into this cave. No matter what method I use, I can’t hold it or get close to it."

"If you can hold it, if you can approach it, then this axe is yours!" Master Timothy promised.

"Woof woof woof!" The big black dog barked at the giant axe, as if it were an ominous weapon, its fur bristling in fear.

"What’s wrong, black?" Yusuf asked curiously.

The big black dog glanced at Yusuf, then wagged its tail lightly, before starting to growl at the axe again.

"Stop barking, what’s wrong? You can understand me, can’t you say something in human language?" Yusuf became agitated as the dog surely understood but chose not to speak.

The black dog indeed stopped barking, letting out a few whines before retreating to Yusuf’s side, laying down with its hind legs raised, and shamelessly started licking itself.

Yusuf had the impulse to kick the black dog, and Master Timothy’s facial muscles also twitched a couple of times.

This black dog’s licking was truly revolting.

"Alright, let me give it a try," Yusuf thought for a moment, then walked forward.

As he approached within ten meters of the giant axe, suddenly the axe’s light flickered and Master Timothy shouted for caution.

"Bang!" Before Yusuf could react, a ray of light struck, sending him flying. As he was hurled backwards, he felt as if his body had been hit by a star, his entire body churning with energy, his meridians rupturing, and even his heart contracted sharply.

"Poof-" Blood spurted from his mouth, nose, and ears.

"My fault, my fault, are you alright?" Master Timothy rushed to Yusuf’s side, repeatedly blaming himself, looking sorrowful.

Yusuf wiped the blood from his nose, stood up and took a deep breath.

He was like an indestructible cockroach, able to quickly recover from any injury. As long as his head remained intact, his body would rapidly heal due to his Blood Beads, so he didn’t mind getting hurt.

"Such formidable strength!" Yusuf praised, "If this axe could be wielded, its power would be immeasurable!"

"Indeed!" Master Timothy nodded, "This is a mystical treasure from the Gate of Merit, even I get repelled and injured when approaching it. After all, are either of us not among the top tier in the world? Yet, we can’t even get close, thus if one possesses it, it would mean Opening the Heavens and Earth!"

"Opening the Heavens and Earth?" Hearing these four words, Yusuf shuddered. Deep in his memory, back when he was still mortal, he heard the legend of Pangu splitting the heavens and earth, and what was Pangu’s weapon? An axe.

"And I am a descendant of the Giant Spirit God, with the giant spirit bloodline, so the Giant Spirit God is akin to Pangu, right? It’s just that the myth was adapted, different versions, but I am akin to a descendant of Pangu and the Giant Spirit God, so could this axe be from the Giant Spirit God?"

"But that wouldn’t make sense, if it were from the Giant Spirit God, it wouldn’t attack me upon approach, so it probably isn’t."

"How can I subdue this axe?" Yusuf pondered, while Master Timothy watched him intently.

"Perhaps, try using your Essence Blood? With your giant spirit bloodline in your Essence Blood, it might work!" Master Timothy suggested.

"Alright, I will use my Essence Blood then!" Yusuf bit his fingertip, preparing to flick his Essence Blood forward.

But at that moment, Master Timothy urgently warned, "Be very cautious, when I tried with my Essence Blood, it did not succeed, and failure resulted in another retaliatory attack from the axe, so prepare yourself for another assault!"

"Alright." As Yusuf’s body trembled, the Power of the Giants surged within him, layers of defensive shields forming. He then flicked his Essence Blood forward!

However, as the Essence Blood reached ten meters from the giant axe, an invisible force suddenly intercepted it, and the giant axe flashed with light once more. An axe shadow appeared out of thin air, cleaving towards Yusuf’s head!

Yusuf was startled, as this attack was even more intense, more terrifying than the previous one, so he did not dare underestimate it, quickly activating his heart strength to defend!

"Boom boom boom boom—" The axe shadow crashed onto his right arm’s defenses, breaching them layer by layer, finally landing a solid strike beneath the arm, embedding deep into the bone!

Fortunately, his right arm was as hard as steel, the bone not shattering. Of course, this was also because he had diffused most of the force with layered defenses, otherwise this giant spirit arm might have been severed!

"Phew—" Yusuf took a deep breath, and Master Timothy also broke out in a cold sweat.

"I refuse to be bested like this!" Just as Master Timothy was about to advise Yusuf to leave, not to try again, Yusuf suddenly stepped forward, and with a quiver of his fingertip, a drop of Dew of Creation appeared.

This was not Essence Blood, but Dew of Creation formed by the Blood Beads in his mind, always universally potent!

"Pop—" He flicked the Dew of Creation forward.
