"What? This Asura Ghost Axe — no one has been able to pull it out for hundreds of years?"
Hearing this, Chu Feng's heart trembled, and waves of unease surged within him. If no one had managed to draw it out in all those centuries, could he really do it?
There was no turning back now. If he failed to pull out this extraordinary weapon, not only would he be unable to save the people from the eight factions, but he would also die here — and Zi Ling would likely meet a gruesome end as well.
"Chu Feng, hand your body over to me." Right at that critical moment, Egg Egg's sweet voice suddenly echoed in the depths of Chu Feng's mind.
Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Feng relinquished control of his body to her.
He felt that since this Asura Ghost Axe bore the name of "Asura," there was likely some special connection between it and Egg Egg.
*Boom!*
The instant Chu Feng handed his body over, a deafening roar erupted from within him. Rings of ripples spread outward from his body, and violent winds howled in every direction, warping the very air.
Swathes of black flames spiraled around Chu Feng, emitting ear-piercing shrieks — sounds that resembled both the wailing of ferocious ghosts and the roaring of wild beasts, thoroughly chilling anyone who heard them.
"What the — what's happening to that brat!?!" The two Demon Kings' faces drained of color when they saw Chu Feng in that state, their grotesque mouths hanging wide open.
From such close range, they could clearly sense that Chu Feng was now emanating a peculiar aura — an aura beyond description, utterly terrifying in its power.
Most strikingly, the aura radiating from Chu Feng now felt identical to the aura of the Asura Ghost Axe, as though the two had become one.
"That feeling… he's finally tapped into that special power?" At the same time, Zi Ling — who was sprinting at full speed — noticed the change and instinctively cast her gaze toward Chu Feng.
In truth, everyone had noticed the transformation. The two Demon Kings chasing Zi Ling were forced to halt their pursuit, turning their attention toward Chu Feng on the elevated platform.
Even Qin Lei and the others trapped within the grand formation showed expressions of shock. The Spirit Realm Masters of the Spirit World Guild and the Shi Clan were particularly stunned, muttering under their breath, "This aura originates from the Spirit Realm — but which Spirit Realm could possibly produce such overwhelming power?"
"Who… who exactly are you?" The two Demon Kings addressed Chu Feng with undisguised astonishment.
At that moment, Chu Feng — whose body was now fully occupied by Egg Egg — let out a cold, sharp laugh.
"I am the one whom this Asura Ghost Axe has chosen to acknowledge as its master."
With that, Chu Feng's palm clenched tight around the hilt. He gave a fierce yank, and with a thunderous *boom*, the floating stone platform shattered into countless fragments, filling the hall with billowing dust. And there, gripped firmly in Chu Feng's hand, was the Asura Ghost Axe.
"Haha, I actually managed to pull this weapon out!"
"Egg Egg, I love you to death!"
Once the axe was freed, Egg Egg returned control of the body to Chu Feng. And now, Chu Feng could clearly sense the Asura Ghost Axe resting in his hand.
