"No." The giant axe said. "You consumed my Immortal Elixir, you must become my disciple!"

Ye Chen's potential was astounding. After taking just two bites of the Immortal Elixir, he achieved a new breakthrough. This disciple, he must accept!

"…"

Ye Chen looked at this rugged man, not sure what to say. The Immortal Elixirs are born of heaven and earth, where would they have an owner? Your Immortal Elixir… Can you be any funnier?

"Will you become my disciple or not?" the giant axe asked.

"No." Ye Chen replied firmly.

"Very well." The giant axe nodded. "Then I'll capture you first, lock you in a dungeon, and torment you for ten thousand years. Let's see if you'll become my disciple then."

"…"

This giant axe is so endearing; he'll go to any lengths to have me as his disciple.

However, to show respect for the strong, Ye Chen pretended to look frightened.

"Kid, will you become my disciple or not? If not, I'll beat you!" the giant axe threatened again.

"…"

Ye Chen felt he was childish enough, but there were always people more childish than him.

"Boom!"

Yet in the next moment, the giant axe made a move, holding nothing back, intending to crush and capture Ye Chen.

"Brilliant Invincibility, Everlasting Victory!"

Ye Chen shouted as he rushed forward, wanting to go head-to-head, to prove himself. However, the ideal is rich, and reality is stark; the power of the giant axe, akin to the force of creation, was not something Ye Chen could withstand.

Bam!

Ye Chen was sent flying again, his ribs broken, coughing up blood continuously.

Just now, after consuming a few bites of the Immortal Elixir, Ye Chen not only healed his injuries but his cultivation deepened slightly. But such a margin of growth was negligible to a powerhouse like the giant axe.

"You are the strongest genius I have ever seen. If I cannot take you under my wing, I'll have no choice but to destroy you!"

The giant axe advanced step by step, harboring a killing intent for the first time.

Ye Chen's potential was too great. If he grew smoothly, ascending the Heavenly Tao was certain, and he might even surpass it.

What is above the Heavenly Tao Realm?

For example, the Primordial Demon Winged Tiger, or the Abyssal Demon Emperor, or the Great Generals of the Divine Nation... all these are beings above the Heavenly Tao, absolute rulers of heaven and earth!

If Ye Chen became the giant axe's disciple, when he commanded the sky, the giant axe would also share in the glory. However, in this current situation, if Ye Chen escaped control and advanced to the Invincible Realm, he was very likely to come seeking revenge against the giant axe.

The giant axe's thought was simple: if he couldn't achieve greatness with Ye Chen, then he must destroy him!

"I won't tangle with you anymore!"

Feeling a hint of killing intent from the giant axe made Ye Chen shudder. He immediately wanted to retreat.

But just as the thought occurred, his path was cut off.

As a Heavenly Tao powerhouse, the giant axe had lived through the ages, his body at peak perfection, far stronger than Ye Chen.

"You can't escape!" the giant axe's eyes flared with red light, once more pouncing on Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

The giant axe's power was overwhelming, almost despair-inducing, sending Ye Chen flying again.

Ye Chen had forged an immortal body, but it was only at the initial stage, with limits, not invincible.

Each strike from the giant axe wielded the force of creation, which Ye Chen could not endure, his bones seemed about to collapse.

"Rip."

The giant axe approached, clawing away a chunk of Ye Chen's flesh, staining him with blood.

"Do you really want to kill me?" Ye Chen asked.

"I don't want to kill you yet, but I can't let you escape!" the giant axe said.

The giant axe wanted to detain Ye Chen and break his will to make him join his sect.

However, this was clearly impossible because the strong have an invincible will that cannot be broken.

Hence, the giant axe was puzzled about what to do.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen was blocked once more, his ribs exposed, his body starting to fall apart.

"Damn."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth from the pain, grabbed the Immortal Vine, and took a big bite again.

The Immortal Elixir contained immense divinity, capable of regrowing flesh from bones, truly miraculous.

Moments earlier, Ye Chen was on the brink of exhaustion, but a few bites of the Immortal Elixir later, he was back to health, his cultivation even enhanced. Therefore, calling the Immortal Elixir a life-saving divine medicine was no exaggeration.

The giant axe advanced steadily, unleashing heavy blows, crushing Ye Chen's body.

All Ye Chen could rely on was this Immortal Elixir!

After obtaining the Immortal Elixir, Ye Chen intended to find a place to refine it and break through to the Heavenly Tao Realm. But the situation was too dire. Without the Immortal Elixir to sustain his life, Ye Chen would be doomed immediately.

Thus, Ye Chen couldn't afford to care much, relying solely on the Immortal Elixir to cling to life, with no other choice.

"This vine can sustain life, but I can keep attacking. Once you're heavily wounded, the Immortal Elixir will eventually run out!"

"Once the Immortal Elixir is consumed, what will you do then?"

Although the Immortal Elixir could sustain life, Ye Chen's constant consumption would deplete it quickly.

Once the Immortal Elixir is finished, Ye Chen would have nothing to rely on. Then what?

"Wasting a vine is such a pity!"

"However, with the giant axe's aggressive stance, once this kid finishes the Immortal Elixir, he's bound to be beaten like a dog."

"Die, just die already. I've been annoyed by him for a long time."

Ye Chen had been cocky from the start, showing off every chance he got, making him quite irritating. Now, being suppressed by the giant axe, on the brink of destruction, nobody sympathized, rather some took pleasure in his misfortune.

"Eat! Eat! Eat!"

The giant axe's power was so pure, each strike peaked, leaving Ye Chen's body and mind wounded, forcing him to rely on the Immortal Elixir.

However, the giant axe's slaughter was too fierce. Ye Chen kept eating and eating, almost finishing the Immortal Vine.

"You're about to finish the Immortal Elixir, don't you give up resisting?" the giant axe asked.

The Immortal Elixir was Ye Chen's reliance. Without it to sustain his life, Ye Chen would be doomed immediately.

"Hmm, I'll deal with it after I finish eating." Ye Chen grabbed the Immortal Elixir and took another big bite.

"Heh heh."

The giant axe sneered, then punched again, piercing through Ye Chen's heart and lungs.

"Eat eat eat."

Ye Chen's life force dwindled rapidly, blood seeping from his mouth, yet he didn't forget to eat.

He had now devoured most of the Immortal Vine, stuffing more into his mouth, determined to gorge himself even if it killed him.

"Hmm?"

Finally, the giant axe noticed something amiss. Ye Chen's frantic consumption seemed to be part of a plan.

"All ways return to one, transforming into a furnace!"

Ye Chen kept devouring the Immortal Elixir, the divinity within spread, causing his Sea of Consciousness to explode.

In this life-and-death moment, Ye Chen actually gained enlightenment!

The Heavenly Emperor Fist had already reached perfection, evolved to the extreme. However, after Ye Chen ascended to transcendence, he once again pushed this method, glimpsing the possibility of ascension.

Previously, Ye Chen, during his closed-door cultivation, found a key point, but due to shallow foundation, couldn't attain enlightenment.

Nevertheless, with the Immortal Elixir as aid, the immense divinity spreading allowed Ye Chen to realize something.

"The fist intent as a furnace, Divine Skills kindling the flame, refining all beings, the Divine King crowns!"

Ye Chen suddenly erupted with a presence, followed by divine power surging in him, causing the heavens and earth to shake.

"What?" For the first time, the giant axe showed a look of surprise.
