Ding! Wu Tiansheng's skill Kai Tian activates!

Kai Tian, Kai Tian opens heaven and earth, overturns yin and yang, the divine axe Kai Tian reforges the world, the divine axe Kai Tian recreates heaven and earth; this skill is Wu Tiansheng's exclusive skill.

Effect 1, Kai Tian Axe: when wielding the Kai Tian Axe as a weapon, the weapon's martial power bonus doubles and activates, and one's own martial power increases by 1 point.

Effect 2, Three Kai Tian Axes: forging yin and yang, forging Qian and Kun, forging heaven and earth; when one activates this secret technique, the first axe brings oneself to peak instantly and is unaffected by any harmful effects; the second axe's suppression effect increases to the maximum of Force Saint Effect 1; the third axe allows one to ignore martial power and break weapon and horse bonuses (cannot break doubled weapon or horse bonuses; this effect can be activated once per day and cannot be used simultaneously with other suppression effects).

Effect 3, Power of Kai Tian: recreating Qian and Kun; when one has fought for more than ten rounds, increase one's martial power by 5 points; when one's fighting spirit rises to the strongest, further increase one's martial power by 4 points.

Effect 4, Power of Kai Tian: twisting all things; when one is in a combat state, in single combat suppress opponent's martial power by 2–6 points; in group combat suppress all opponents' martial power by 3 points.

Effect 5, related to bloodline, divine axe forges the world; after one falls, one can elevate the talent of the most valued bloodline descendant to one level below one's own martial foundation; and if one wields the Kai Tian Axe with supernatural skill, there is a possibility to awaken the Kai Tian skill.

Currently Wu Tiansheng's base martial power is 110, divine weapon and divine steed martial power +2, having exceeded ten rounds, Force Saint skill martial power +20, Kai Tian effect one martial power +2, effect three martial power +9, Wu Tiansheng's current martial power rises to 141!

At this moment, Yun Lingxiao's figure swayed, as if suffering a heavy blow.

His complexion turned as pale as snow, and his eyes revealed an indescribable pain.

His body swayed a few times in midair, then fell like a broken kite.

He did not feel the joy of victory, only deep regret and pity.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with a solemn, killing atmosphere.

He slowly raised his head, gazing toward the vast sky, as if searching for Yun Lingxiao's heroic spirit.

A dull thud sounded, and Wu Tiansheng's axe solidly split onto Yun Lingxiao's body.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence, with only the wind and the mournful neighing of warhorses echoing.

Wu Tiansheng's giant axe descended with an unstoppable force, and Yun Lingxiao could only watch it fall helplessly.

The War God Pangu's steed walked up to Wu Tiansheng's side, gently rubbing its head against him, as if comforting his inner pain.

At this moment, the entire battlefield fell silent, all combat ceased, and everyone's gaze focused on this scene.

A flash of resolve passed through Yun Lingxiao's eyes; he tried to block this fatal blow with 'Luohua,' but it was already too late.

Yun Lingxiao lay on the ground, motionless.

Wu Tiansheng silently thought 'oh no,' but it was already too late.

Wu Tiansheng stood dazed in place, his axe still dripping blood, a flash of bewilderment crossing his eyes.

At this moment, Wu Tiansheng's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Yun Lingxiao, already excessively exhausted, could not withstand the blow and was heavily split down to the ground.

At this moment his axe, endowed with endless power, was chopping toward Yun Lingxiao's head.

Pfft!

Blood instantly stained Yun Lingxiao's collar red, his body heavily hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

His axe momentum had formed, like a surging river flowing continuously, making it difficult to retract for a moment.

His white robe had been stained red by blood, appearing especially glaring.

Good!

Xuan Yuan Po witnessed Wu Tiansheng successfully slaying Yun Lingxiao, a flash of barely concealed joy crossing his eyes.

You little brat, I can't handle you on the battlefield!

Even off the battlefield I can't handle you!

Obviously, Yun Lingxiao's sudden mishap on the battlefield this time is definitely related to Xuan Yuan Po!

Yun Lingxiao on the battlefield was peerlessly brave, yet ultimately could not withstand the double blow of treachery and strength.

Yun Lingxiao's sudden defeat on the battlefield this time actually conceals a deeper conspiracy behind it.

All of this is intricately connected to Xuan Yuan Po and his anti-king alliance.

Before Yang Jian could even guard against it, Xuan Yuan Po and his associates had already secretly made contact with the nobles of the Great Xuan dynasty.

These nobles originally enjoyed high status and power in the court.

However, the temporary ascension of Yang Jian, Duke of Sui, shattered their original profit structure.

Yang Jian, this implanted founding emperor of the Great Sui, relying on military merit and prestige, became Duke of Sui in one fell swoop, taking control of the Great Xuan's government.

Yet his ascension infringed upon the interests of those nobles who originally held power in the court.

These nobles, who had enjoyed privileges and glory for generations, undoubtedly felt an unprecedented threat from Yang Jian's rise.

Thus, driven by profit, these nobles began seeking change.

And Xuan Yuan Po and the anti-king alliance were exactly the lifeline in their eyes.

The two parties hit it off immediately, launching a conspiracy against Yang Jian and Yun Lingxiao.

That night, the darkness was like ink, and the site of the secret plot was chosen at a secluded mansion.

In the flickering candlelight, Xuan Yuan Po's envoy and several nobles of the Great Xuan sat together, their faces revealing a hint of cunning and gloom.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said Xuan Yuan Po's envoy in a low voice, his tone conveying an irresistible temptation, "Yang Jian's rise not only threatens the foundation of the court, but also damages your interests, nobles."

"And we, the anti-king alliance, exist precisely to overthrow this traitor to the state and restore order to the court."

The nobles exchanged glances, each harboring their own calculations.

They knew that cooperating with Xuan Yuan Po was undoubtedly like seeking skin from a tiger.

However, the current situation leaves them no room for more choices.

Next came discussion on how to secretly scheme against Yun Lingxiao, to put Yang Jian in a predicament on the battlefield.

After much secret deliberation, they decided to poison Yun Lingxiao's food and drink.

This poison is colorless and tasteless, yet it can cause a person to lose combat ability at critical moments.

Its name is Youming Erosion Soul Powder; legend says this poison is colorless and tasteless, and those poisoned will suddenly lose combat ability at critical moments, possibly even losing their lives in the end.

The manufacturing process is extremely complex, requiring various rare materials and unique procedures.

At a specific time (under the moonlight of the fifteenth day of the lunar month), harvest the netherworld flower and simultaneously capture a strange beast known as the night shadow snake to obtain its bile.

This is a poisonous snake that only appears under moonlight, and its bile has an extremely strong paralytic effect.

Place the netherworld flower and the night shadow snake's bile into a specially made ceramic jar, add Wangchuan water, and simmer over a low fire for three days and three nights until the materials are completely dissolved.

Put the simmered mixture together with netherworld sand into a stone mill, and grind it manually for at least forty-nine cycles to ensure the toxin and sand particles are fully fused.

Place the ground mixture into a specially made ceramic bottle, seal it at a specific location in Ghost Shadow Valley, and let it naturally mature for three months, during which the bottle must be exposed to moonlight for one hour each day.

After maturation, take out the mixture, add several neutralizing agents to reduce its irritation to human skin, making it colorless, odorless, and harder to detect.
