Night Without End

Chapter 1400 - 588: Orthodoxy

What does the light of the righteous path say?

Many couldn’t believe their ears. Does this person think the Inner World Opening Heaven Axe is easy to master?

The night falls, the Barbaric Forest, mountains undulate like a giant beast lying dormant, silhouettes flicker on the peaks, yet it is so silent that even breathing cannot be heard.

High above, blood trickles down the cheek of the Huang Family’s prodigy, and when he smiles, it tugs at his exposed wound, appearing somewhat unsettling.

Not to say he is relentlessly diligent, but close enough, decades spent studying the Inner World Opening Heaven Axe, even he wouldn’t utter such words. Which version of a madman is this?

Huang Zhaoting, with sword-like brows touching his temples and deep-set eyes, said, "Why don’t you claim sudden realization on the spot?"

Qin Ming nodded, "That is exactly my intention."

The onlookers standing on the distant mountains wore varied expressions, wondering if he was serious.

Many believed he was deliberately mocking Huang Zhaoting.

Who doesn’t know that this prodigy of the Huang Family has dedicated decades to understanding the Heaven Opening Axe?

Yet, under the night sky, the expression of "Zheng Guang" was earnestly serious.

This left people confused about whether he was ridiculing or genuinely confident about comprehending the forbidden ultimate skill of Huang Zhaoting on the spot.

Huang Zhaoting spoke indifferently, "In the past, four branches protected Xie Jinglei, and it seems that over the years, those who studied the Inner World Opening Heaven Axe have achieved something. Little do they know, the orthodoxy lies with me alone, and only I can complete it."

His tone was calm, yet he was full of confidence.

Now, he laid his cards on the table, revealing where others’ Heaven Opening Axes were derived from.

There was a commotion in the Barbaric Forest.

The female Grandmaster who had pursued all the way revered Huang Zhaoting, softly saying, "I’ve long heard about the Inner World Opening Heaven Axe; only Brother Zhaoting has mastered its essence in this world, while others merely grasp branches and leaves."

Many nodded; this was the truth.

However, considering Huang Zhaoting was wounded, many fell silent again, observing the situation’s development.

"Orthodoxy? Let’s carefully learn it," Qin Ming said with his left hand behind him.

His posture was arrogant; for what reason? Naturally, to steal the True Scripture from afar.

Only by provoking Huang Zhaoting into an emotional upheaval and displaying all his ultimate skills could he have a chance to resonate.

The Huang Family’s prodigy shot beams from his eyes like lightning, saying, "Let me see what level your Heaven Opening Axe has reached."

Behind him, a sea of blood surged, staining the night sky red, accompanied by fierce gusts of wind, sweeping across the remnant clouds.

As a divine figure of a previous generation, blood trickling down his cheek, he naturally harbored a grudge.

He seemed to stand in a blood-red dusk with a Tao Tree swaying before him, petals shimmering as they danced in the sky, making his surrounding space extraordinarily sacred.

"Clang!"

Qin Ming was not intimidated in the slightest; above his head, a giant axe was forming.

Huang Zhaoting said in a deep voice, "Orthodoxy lies with me!"

In the sea of blood behind him, the Heaven Opening Axe soared into the sky, making the heavens tremble, clouds agitated, and the axe light seemed to split heaven and earth.

In an instant, the axe light flashed incessantly, the two confronting axes, their edges as sharp as needles.

In the night sky, it seemed like divine beings were crossing tribulation, the dazzling axe light interwove like thunder, clashing one after another, causing a massive explosion of clouds.

A deafening sound echoed through heaven and earth.

It must be said that Huang Zhaoting, a prodigy of unparalleled valor, indeed could dominate a generation, wielding the Heaven Opening Axe, every move a big one, battling fiercely with Qin Ming.

In the darkness, it seemed like two gods were engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

Boom!

In the terrifying axe light, a towering peak was cut off by the giant axe.

"Branch line, can you only do that one move?" Huang Zhaoting shouted.

He stood in the sea of blood, surrounded by glaring blood-colored lightning, "Watch closely, this is the Six Forms of Heaven Opening Axe; let’s see to which form you can endure."

His axe lights carried blood, dyeing the sky, the entire night turned crimson, exuding a sense of desolation, adding more tragic and murderous aura.

In contrast, Qin Ming’s Heaven Opening Axe was enveloped in a resplendent light, grand and majestic.

Qin Ming spoke, "This is what you call orthodoxy, perfected by the Blood Refining Method, how many massacres have you committed?"

Many who witnessed this scene showed strange expressions.

The Huang Family called "Zheng Guang" an Evil Path Grandmaster, yet his Heaven Opening Axe was righteous and peaceful, full of grandeur. In contrast, Huang Zhaoting’s surroundings were enveloped in the bizarre scene of a sea of blood.

In comparison, everything seemed reversed.

Recently, there were rumors that Huang Zhaoting slaughtered many in the Wild Immortal Realm, annihilating several native tribes to perfect his skill.

Many harbored criticism, fearing the Huang Family’s status, yet dared not speak openly.

Now, Zheng Guang pointed it out publicly, tearing through the paper-thin window that had long been translucent.

In the distant sky, the female Grandmaster spoke in defense, "Brother Zhaoting undertook various attempts to complete a supreme ultimate skill, achieving it would be a great contribution to the realm of cultivation. Besides, he was ruthless in the Wild Immortal Realm, not heard of indiscriminate killing outside."

Silently, many watched, not wishing to meddle in the Huang Family’s affairs.

Yet, some courageous individuals voiced quietly, "Judging by this, it’s uncertain who could complete the Heaven Opening Axe."

The female Grandmaster replied with absolute certainty, "Naturally, Brother Zhaoting!"

Amidst the intense battle on the field, Huang Zhaoting had already struck three times, with the so-called Six Forms of Heaven Opening already halfway through.

Yet, the First Generation Grandmaster - Zheng Guang surprisingly managed to withstand it.

However, at this moment, both were marked with crimson bloodstains, both wounded.

Huang Zhaoting’s expression was more serious than ever before; this opponent seemed truly to have a sudden realization on the spot, mimicking part of the true essence of his Heaven Opening Axe, stealing the True Scripture.
