"What name? This..."

Emperor Wu seemed somewhat uncertain, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This should be the ultimate imperial weapon of the Pangu clan. As for its name, it is no longer recorded. But I can be certain that it is an ultimate imperial weapon."

Pangu Clan.

That can't be wrong.

"The Heaven-Opening Axe! This is actually the Heaven-Opening Axe."

Lin Che looked at the broken and unremarkable battle axe, seemingly still unable to believe that this was the Heaven-Opening Axe.

This battle axe is capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

But why would such an ultimate imperial weapon be damaged? And why would it be here? Placed on a mountaintop?

If it really is Pangu's axe that created the world, then it's not surprising that he couldn't lift it.

etc!

Lin Che glanced around and looked at Emperor Wu. The reason why Emperor Wu hadn't used the Heaven-Opening Axe for so many years, nor was he willing to show off or even mention it, wasn't because Emperor Wu was unwilling, but because Emperor Wu couldn't.

That must be it!

Emperor Wu was simply unable to wield the Heaven-Opening Axe.

It turns out this old man was just putting on airs in front of him!

If Emperor Wu could repair the Heaven-Opening Axe, if he could wield it and wreak havoc, he would have done it long ago. Why has he been suppressed by the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Dao Alliance for so many years?

Even Emperor Wu couldn't lift it by the slightest bit. Just now, he moved the Heaven-Opening Axe by the millimeter, and Emperor Wu's face was so ugly and incredulous because he simply couldn't move it.

Yes, yes. That must be it!

Lin Che understood all his doubts almost instantly.

"Martial Emperor! Since you possess such an ultimate imperial weapon, then congratulations! In the future, you will surely rule the world of ten thousand demons, shatter Mount Ling, and even knock the head off the Buddha! Congratulations!"

"Hehe! Such a grand undertaking must also be what Lin Renwang has in mind."

Emperor Wu's face immediately lit up with joy, and he patted Lin Che's shoulder with his heavy hand: "Let's join forces! You bring the human race and fight alongside me to conquer the world. Only by eliminating the scourge of the Demon Emperor and stabilizing the Demon Clan can we ensure the safety of your human race. Otherwise, if the Demon Emperor and Tathagata join forces, your human race will only face annihilation."

That old fox has finally shown his true colors.

Judging from his tone, Emperor Wu's intentions go beyond simply eliminating the Demon King.

Lin Che simply went along with the Martial Emperor's suggestion and asked, "Our two races are cooperating? Then may I ask the Martial Emperor, what does he need from our human race? And in the end, what will our human race gain?"

Emperor Wu slowly withdrew his hand, then crossed his arms again, adopting an air of dominance over the world, and said loudly:

"Isn't this generous reward enough to ensure the survival of your human race? You need to see the situation clearly; your human race is in grave danger. The only one who can help you, dares to take you in, and has the ability to protect you is me!"

"You've witnessed the strength of my Martial Emperor City. Even without your human race, I can still rule the Myriad Demon Clan after repairing the Supreme Emperor Weapon. Now, I'm giving your human race a chance. As the Human King, you will lead your human race to submit to my Martial Emperor City. From today onwards, everything of the Myriad Demon Clan belongs to my Martial Emperor City, and the things of the human world belong to you, Lin Che. We have nothing to do with each other..."

"Emperor Wu, may I interrupt you? Does everything you've said include the Heavenly Dao Alliance territories I conquered earlier, which also belong to you?" Lin Che's eyes were clear, and his face remained completely calm.

Emperor Wu raised an eyebrow: "Territory? What territory? You don't think you conquered the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do you? Hmph. It was conquered by our Emperor Wu City and the Heavenly Feather Clan."

Emperor Wu paused, seemingly observing Lin Che's expression. After a couple of breaths, seeing that Lin Che didn't immediately object, he smiled and said, "Very well, even if you did contribute a little, the effort your human race put in was too small. You also received benefits from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, didn't you?"

"You humans, if you want to survive, you can only rely on our Martial Emperor City. Only by helping me overthrow the Demon Emperor, unify the Demon World, and make contributions, will I be able to govern the human race from now on! Do you understand?"

Lin Che's blood instantly boiled.

He raised an eyebrow, looked at the Martial Emperor who was a full head taller than him, and asked in a deep voice, "What if I don't want to?"

Emperor Wu looked directly into Lin Che's eyes: "You had no choice. If I didn't protect you, you and your human race would surely die at the hands of the Demon King and the Buddha. King Lin, you don't really think you have a choice, do you?"

Emperor Wu!

You old fool, I originally thought you would become a hero because you entered the Dao through martial arts.

Who would have thought that at this crucial moment, you would be the most cunning one?

As expected, we cannot have any expectations of the Demon Clan.

Lin Che took a deep breath: "The last person to threaten me like this has been dead for many years!"

"Heh! Well then, let me tell you this: while your human race still has some use, make your decision now! Otherwise, your human race will truly be useless!"

Their gazes met once again in that instant.

A real bolt of lightning erupted the instant their eyes met, accompanied by a crackling sound.

Lin Che's mind raced. He was no longer the penniless man he once was. Now, he had the entire human race and countless millions of people behind him, so he needed to think carefully before he acted.

The outcome of a war against Emperor Wu is uncertain. We are currently within this special sacred mountain, and even more so within Emperor Wu's city. Emperor Wu most likely cannot wield the Heaven-Opening Axe, but what if he possesses some secret techniques or methods?
