Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 497 - 172: In the Next Life, I Wish to Eat Another Hundred Herbs Fish_6

Chapter 497: Chapter 172: In the Next Life, I Wish to Eat Another Hundred Herbs Fish_6

Everyone was shocked, realizing that this strike was likely impossible to withstand! The scene began to flicker in and out of existence, seemingly unable to withstand the immense power of this blow!

At the same time, in the scene, Wang Mu squinted. With the strength of the Ice Blue Ancient Tree, merged with the Immortal Mansion and supported by the endless Spiritual Energy Ancient Vein, even using the Beautiful Fist might not be enough to defeat it. Although he did not quite understand why the Artifact Spirit guarded by the Sixth Generation Immortal harbored such great killing intent towards him, at this moment...

"I can only try this."

Wang Mu slowly took an axe out from his bosom. The body of the axe bore the four symbols of heaven and earth and pulsated with a mysterious power that could annihilate everything. Wang Mu injected all his Spiritual Power into it. In an instant, the axe burst forth with an extremely dazzling light!

BOOM!

In the next second, a phantom emerged from the axe and merged with Wang Mu. Wang Mu felt as if a deity had possessed him; at this moment, he possessed the tremendous power to destroy everything!

The Heavenly Punishment Axe.

It was an Exotic Treasure obtained from Xuanmingzi of the Creation Gate at the Magpie Bridge Festival, after passing through the Three-Life Illusion Realm with Miss You. Like the Fish Coming event, it was an extremely special and rare object. The Fish Coming event had once caused countless Mother and Child Fish to fall in the Ling Province of the Ancient Image Clan, and even a Taiyin and Taiyang Divine Fish...

Yet this axe had never been used until now. He had not used it even when chopping trees on Divine Mountain. Because it could only be used once, it had to be saved for a critical moment. With over forty levels in his Chopping Skill, holding this Heavenly Axe, Wang Mu felt as if he had become a War God!

"This axe is indeed extraordinary!"

"Though it can only be used once, I don’t know exactly how it came to be..."

"And that fishing rod from the previous Fish Coming event..."

Wang Mu felt the surging power within him. He grasped the axe in both hands, aimed towards the ancient tree, his body arched in mid-air like a drawn bow, and he chopped down as if splitting a mountain.

No need for any fancy tricks.

Just treat it like a tree and chop it down!

At that instant, a majestic Primordial Spirit phantom appeared on his body, ethereal as mist yet emanating an unstoppable courage!

「In the outside world.」

Watching this scene, many Cultivators were astounded, not knowing what Magic or secret technique Wang Mu was using at this moment. It burst forth with such terrifying power in an instant! This strike would destroy any Nascent Soul Cultivator! Especially under the boost of this courage, it seemed to possess a natural oppressive force against the ancient tree!

「Inside the Immortal Mansion.」

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree saw this scene and was stunned.

"The Heavenly Punishment Axe..."

"Impossible..."

"How could you possibly have this..."

"How could you possibly wield it... you mere mortal..."

The axe’s shadow split the heavens, instantly severing the giant ice spear conjured by the Ice Blue Ancient Tree and cleaving its indestructible trunk in two.

The scene disappeared from the outside world at this moment.

Wang Mu’s body was cracked all over; the Heavenly Punishment Axe in his hand dimmed and turned into Mortal Iron. Closing his eyes, he seemed to have gained some insight from the strike he had just made.

This axe is very strange. If it weren’t for having over forty levels in Chopping Skill, it might have been difficult even to hold.

As he landed on the ground, Wang Mu’s complexion was slightly pale as he looked at the Ice Blue Ancient Tree split in two before him. He knew that he had won. Although... well... this time he had truly won with the help of external forces. But Wang Mu didn’t care; as long as he could win, anything was acceptable. In this world, there is no win or loss without a reason. Perhaps, from the moment he obtained the Heavenly Punishment Axe, this scene was destined.

Of course, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree wasn’t dead. It had just been broken through. It was rapidly recovering. Wang Mu had hardly any strength left at that moment, but he still pretended to have some energy remaining and quietly watched.

After a long while, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree gradually returned to its original state, except that the glow on its body was gone. Clearly, it too had been deeply wounded.

Maybe the Heavenly Axe had a special damage bonus against it...

"Why did you not take action?" the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said. "If you had struck again just now and chopped me down, I would have had no chance to recover."

I wanted to as well, but I had no strength left at all just now. I was merely forcing myself, Wang Mu thought. Though he thought so, he certainly couldn’t say it.

"I just want to know why you wanted to kill me?" Wang Mu asked. "We shouldn’t have any enmity, right?"

"Additionally, I had a past life’s... acquaintance with your master."

It couldn’t be called a romantic destiny; ’acquaintance’ was better. The relationship with An Qixiu in the game, without the player’s own interference, was indeed more than friendship but not quite romance.

"Hmph..." the Ice Blue Ancient Tree snorted coldly. "You won, so you won. There’s nothing much to say."

Wang Mu was speechless.

Such a strange temperament?

"I don’t want to kill you," Wang Mu said. "I just want to meet this master of yours..."

"Meet the master? What do you want to do?" the Ice Blue Ancient Tree asked.

"Didn’t I say it already? I made a promise to meet her in the next life," Wang Mu said.

"Hahaha..." the Ice Blue Ancient Tree suddenly laughed. "Looking at you, it’s clear you still don’t know anything. Very well."

"You defeated me, proving everything the master said was correct..."

"You want to meet her..."

"Then come inside."

"Enter where?"

"Of course, inside my body."

Wang Mu was taken aback.

Having spoken, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree naturally split open, revealing an opening in the center, surrounded by layers of frosty staircases. In the central depths, a mysterious ice canopy covered it.

Wang Mu fell silent and, without hesitation, went inside. At this point, there was naturally no reason to hesitate; he needed to know the true situation.

Soon, as he approached the front of the frosty staircase, an Ancient Stele appeared.

Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

Another Ancient Stele. The Sixth Life’s Ancient Stele... obviously, there was more to follow...

Wang Mu concentrated and saw that the Ancient Stele read:

"Good karma, rejected..."

"Yet, the heavenly fate is hard to defy... My future is clearly determined, closely related to it... Only able to promise a seventh life encounter... Fearing only that heaven’s mandate may take its course..."

"Years later, as I wished, the Heavenly Gate opened wide, the world reignited the Three Thousand Great Taoist Paths..."

"Consuming the Life Fire, with the body of a mayfly, wandering through mountains and rivers for hundreds of years... The Ten Thousand Clan flourishing, the Immortal Path remaining, my heart is greatly comforted!"

"Yet... I can never again taste that Hundred Herbs Fish..."

"..."

"..."

A part was missing in the middle.

The last part.

"...establishing Yuhuan Grotto Mansion, commemorating the past six lives here."

"...In the next life, I wish to eat the Hundred Herbs Fish once again..."

"..."

That was all.

The Ancient Stele of the Sixth Life. No mention of a Seventh Life.

Wang Mu fell silent.

"Is she ahead?" Wang Mu looked towards the icy canopy at the end of the staircase.

"You’ll see for yourself," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said indifferently.

Wang Mu walked into the ice curtain, seeing only a bed made of Ten-thousand-year-old Mysterious Ice.

On the ice bed, there lay a woman...
