Chapter 332 The Submitting Mountain Hermit and the Imperial Weapon
"As long as we live, there is hope for revenge —"
The mountain dweller murmured softly, his eyes surging with an overwhelming hatred that seemed to devour him.
Everything he cherished most in his life was destroyed by the three rulers of the Food Kingdom.
The smiles of his senior sister and wife, the friendship of his friends and brothers, the bonds between his sect and fellow disciples, the fireworks of his tribe—all the warmth and affection turned to ashes.
From the day his sect was destroyed and his clan perished, his world was filled with boundless darkness, and his only obsession was revenge!
For these two words, he would spare no expense, even abandoning his past identity, traversing the universe for billions of years, and laying countless hidden moves, without ever wavering in the slightest.
But reality was like a cold shackle, binding him tightly.
The Food Kingdom boasts three rulers, among whom the Heavenly Kun King is a terrifying existence at the second level of the God King realm, while he is only at the first level of the God King realm. The disparity in strength between the two sides is enormous, making the path to revenge as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"You've been preparing for billions of years, isn't it all for revenge?"
"You have survived until now, and your only wish is to kill the three kings of the Food Kingdom and avenge your deceased relatives and people."
'
Xu Qing's voice suddenly appeared, lingering in the ears of the mountain dweller, as if it could see through the deepest obsession in his soul.
"You only need to submit to me, and I will kill them for you. Three mere cosmic gods are not worth me going back on my word."
Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller, who had been immersed in endless regret and hatred, suddenly looked up.
"Lord of Qingyang, are you—are you telling the truth?!"
In an instant, even the way the mountain dweller addressed people changed.
"What you say is true. Does your desire for revenge not even give you the courage to submit to me?" Xu Qing smiled.
"No, my hatred is boundless and has long been ingrained in my soul. I am willing to pay any price for revenge."
He will never forget that day.
The three rulers of the Food Kingdom had been plotting for a long time and suddenly launched a deadly attack.
Although he, the God King of Jin, managed to escape with his life, his wife, fellow disciples, brothers, and clan were all wiped out in that catastrophe, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
Driven by endless hatred, the Mountain Dweller chose to go to the Cosmic Sea to seek his chance for revenge.
Thinking of this, the mountain dweller gritted his teeth.
"Master, I submit to you."
He cultivated the Earth lineage solely for his own revenge.
He knew that with his strength, revenge was nothing but a mirage, and he had no chance at all.
Xu Qing, a being suspected to be from outside the Origin Continent, possesses unimaginable terrifying power and is his only hope for revenge.
Even if Xu Qing doesn't speak up, he will eventually abandon all his dignity and kneel down to beg for this only chance of survival.
The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord possesses an incredibly powerful Hunyuan bloodline and an incomparably strong divine body. Even if an emperor with combat power surpassing the second level of the God King realm were to take action, he could hold out for a while.
Even if the Emperor could kill him, he could forcibly reincarnate.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord serves the supreme Emperor Di Yan of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.
The Mountain Dweller has absolutely no chance of taking revenge on his own.
How could a mere ruler at the first level of the Divine King realm like him possibly be worthy of requesting the supreme emperor or monarch to take action?
Seeing the mountain dweller bow down in submission, Xu Qing smiled faintly and said in a nonchalant tone, "Since you have submitted, I will bestow upon you a reward. I have heard that you are skilled in weapon crafting; you may accept this weapon."
Before he finished speaking, a black halberd appeared in his palm. The halberd was as black as ink, yet it was not at all stiff; instead, it faintly shimmered with a layer of light.
The mountain dweller's pupils contracted slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Isn't that a bit too stingy—"
He was originally a master weapon refiner at the God-King level, and had handled countless treasures and supreme artifacts. His appraisal of weapons far surpassed that of ordinary people. With just a glance, he could tell that the weapon in front of him was almost a divine weapon at the limit level of a Void True God.
He bestowed upon her a Void True God-level weapon immediately after she submitted, which seemed generous within the cosmic sea, but it was utterly insignificant compared to the strength of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.
He was, after all, a God-King; at his peak, forging such a divine weapon was something he could do with ease.
But the next moment, when he focused his attention and looked closely, he was struck as if by lightning, his eyes widened suddenly, and his breath stopped instantly!
Upon closer inspection, the countless rays of light emanating from the black halberd were not divine light at all.
It was a series of surging galaxies! The boundless galaxies swirled and flowed on the surface of the halberd, making the entire divine weapon look like a universe. As the galaxies flowed, the primordial sounds of the beginning of the universe could be faintly heard.
The halberd is also engraved with extremely intricate patterns of all things: an ancient god in the chaos roars to the sky, and the sound waves shake the surrounding void slightly.
The Vermilion Bird flaps its wings, blazing flames engulf the sky, and scorching air seems to emanate from between its patterns; the Kunpeng swings its tail, churning up rivers and seas, causing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to fluctuate accordingly.
There are also mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, and ancient sages, each lifelike, as if they are about to leap out of the halberd and manifest all things in the world.
This divine weapon is none other than the Heavenly Desolate Halberd, an imperial weapon used by the Stone Emperor.
Such superb craftsmanship has long surpassed the knowledge of the Mountain Hermit regarding weapon forging!
"This—how is this possible?!" the mountain dweller exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.
He subconsciously reached out and tremblingly grasped the halberd handle. The moment his fingertips touched it, he was enveloped by a vast and boundless power.
"How is this possible?!"
This completely overturns the fundamental principles of weapon crafting!
The mountain dweller opened his eyes wide, scrutinizing the divine weapon before him as if trying to see through the mysteries of every rune.
However, he discovered that the mysteries contained in the runes were completely different from those in the weapons he had forged. It was as if they were not forged according to the laws and the Great Dao, and were completely incomprehensible.
However, such intricate patterns and immense power could not possibly have been created haphazardly.
What shocked him even more was that he could sense the presence of a spirit within the divine weapon, and the power of that spirit had reached the level of a Void True God!
But what exactly is this unique feeling?
"How do you feel about this gift?" Xu Qing's voice pulled him back from his shock.
The man sitting on the mountain quickly composed himself and said respectfully, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master! This is truly a great present! Does Master have any other similar divine weapons?"
One weapon alone was simply not enough for him to comprehend the profound mysteries of weapon crafting.
Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this: "That's good then. You just need to rest assured and follow my orders. There are plenty of divine weapons like this."
Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller was startled, feeling that Xu Qing was becoming increasingly mysterious.
"Yes, this must be a weapon from outside the Origin Continent, crafted using techniques from another world. The runes and laws on it also represent the Great Dao of another world."
My guess was right.
