Since there was no one controlling the axe, the body that was suspended in the air seemed to be swaying after the blow. Lu Ping looked at it and smiled, "Still not coming out? Why? Do you still want to use the last blow to prepare for another attack?"
Everyone seemed to be a little puzzled. Only Qing Hu seemed to have realized something, but she did not find the expected hidden object with her divine sense. Then she heard Lu Ping said, "You have seen the effect of the blow just now. Now you should still have the power to make another attack. What else do you think you can do?"
At this time, everyone had already followed Lu Ping's gaze to the giant rat corpse lying on the ground. They were shocked. Could it be that Thieving Heaven Laozu was still alive? Or did he leave some tricks behind? Otherwise, how could he still control the axe to attack them?
Just as everyone was thinking about it, they heard a sneaky voice suddenly sounded from the giant rat corpse, "Who are you? Why did you come to the Old Man's cave mansion?"
The image of a short, shriveled, long-bearded, shifty-eyed old man immediately appeared in everyone's consciousness. Could it be that this person was really Thieving Heaven Laozu? It had been so many years, yet he was still alive.
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You really know how to play tricks. As expected of Thieving Heaven Laozu's spiritual treasure."
After saying that, Lu Ping stretched out his hand towards the direction of the giant rat. The axe that had fallen to the ground again rose into the air, but this time, it flew towards Lu Ping's hand.
Suddenly, an invisible force rose from the back of the axe and pulled the axe flying towards Lu Ping from the opposite direction. Suddenly, the axe was fixed in the air again.
Lu Ping smiled slightly. He stretched out his palm and hooked his four fingers back. The axe slowly pulled towards Lu Ping again. Obviously, the strange force was not a match for Lu Ping at all.
However, at this time, the voice that sounded from the giant rat corpse suddenly let out a smug sneer. Then, the surface of the axe suddenly lit up with a light that was more devastating than before. The force pulling the axe in the opposite direction suddenly disappeared, and the axe suddenly chopped towards Lu Ping at a speed faster than before.
In an instant, the axe arrived before Lu Ping. However, the scene of Lu Ping panicking and closing his eyes to wait for death did not appear. Instead, a smile appeared on Lu Ping's face. He only had time to say one sentence, "After nearly ten thousand years, you can still maintain your spirituality to this extent. Not bad!"
Then, nine layers of light burst out from Lu Ping's palm. Each ray of light formed a large hand of spiritual energy that wrapped around the hand of spiritual energy in front of it. Then, the large hand of spiritual energy moved towards the axe that was coming towards him.
However, each of the large hands of spiritual energy that clenched onto the axe was cut through layer by layer. Then, the bright light on the axe was constantly being worn away. After the ninth layer of the golden Meteorite Astral Shield was cut through, the light on the axe had mostly dissipated. Next, it was time to face Lu Ping's body.
The strange laughter rang out once more. Although the power of the axe had been reduced by more than half, it was still not something that a cultivator's body could block.
However, Lu Ping just happened to block it!
The index finger and thumb of his right hand happened to pass through the light and accurately pinched the axe's body. The axe could not move even half an inch forward in mid-air. The strange laughter stopped abruptly as if it was pinched by the neck. Not only that, but the people around Lu Ping were also stunned for a moment.
Even if the power of the axe had mostly dissipated, it was still not something that a cultivator could block with their body. However, Lu Ping used his body to block the attack and forcibly grabbed the spiritual treasure in his hand.
Just how strong was Lu Ping's body?!
In the end, a long and thin bloody mark was left on the web between Lu Ping's thumb and forefinger. Drops of blood seeped out, and then a blue light flashed. After refining the Wonder Dew, Lu Ping's essential energy contained a powerful life force. It had a unique advantage when it came to healing injuries. For example, small wounds like these usually healed very quickly.
"Still not coming out?"
Lu Ping held the axe in his left hand. Then, he stretched out his right hand and pointed it in the direction of the mummy.
"Don't, don't, I surrender, I surrender!"
A black light flew out of the mummy's mouth and quickly hid behind Dabao. It turned into a humanoid shadow. It really was a shriveled old man. He timidly peeked out from behind Dabao and looked at Lu Ping.
Qing Hu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you the weapon spirit of the Heaven Stealing Axe?"
Among everyone present, the little old man seemed to feel a sense of familiarity from Dabao's aura. In the face of Qing Hu's question, the little old man did not say a word. He just hid behind Dabao and did not dare to come out. However, his eyes would occasionally look at Lu Ping, who was not far away and no longer paying attention to him. Among everyone present, only Lu Ping made him feel a deep sense of fear. Otherwise, he would not have concentrated his only two attacks on Lu Ping.
"Hey, hey, hey, old man, I'm asking you a question. Why are you always hiding behind Treasure Master?"
Dabao turned around several times, but the old man's ability was much greater than his. No matter how he turned, the old man was always able to hide behind him. After a long time, Dabao felt an eerie feeling at the back of his neck, which made his hair stand on end.
The old man's strange voice sounded behind Dabao, "What is the relationship between you and that dead mouse lying on the ground? I can feel that your auras are too similar."
Dabao protested, "That is our Spirit Seeking Mouse Clan's old senior, Laozu the Thieving Heaven, he is … Hey, that's not right. Hey, aren't you the weapon spirit of the Heaven Stealing Axe? Shouldn't you know more about him than me?"
The old man's eyes were suddenly at a loss. Although his figure was extremely illusory, Dabao's question just now had clearly puzzled him. He forcefully pulled his beard and said, "What do I know? What is the Heaven Stealing Axe that you are talking about? Is it the axe that was snatched by that person? If that is the case, then the Old Man is indeed the weapon spirit of that axe, but I don't know about that big mouse. But his corpse is very comfortable inside, I have always been inside all these years. "
Dabao asked again, "All these years? How long has it been? "
"How long?"
The old man was confused again, "A very long time, I have always been here, I can't remember clearly."
At this time, Lu Ping's voice suddenly sounded again, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Once Lu Ping's voice sounded, the old man was immediately frightened and hid behind Dabao, not even daring to show his head.
Dabao asked Lu Ping, "Boss, what's wrong?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "You have been following me around all these years and have seen a lot of rare treasures. How can you not know that without the nourishment of primeval essence, a weapon spirit's spirituality will dissipate and even return to being a spirit nurturing treasure. Even if the weapon spirit's body doesn't dissipate, the weapon spirit's memory will slowly dissipate. The Heaven Stealing Divine Axe behind you was able to persist for ten thousand years without dissipating, it is already very rare, do you think it can remember anything?"
Dabao said, "But the power of this guy's two attacks just now was not small, there is no trace of spirituality dissipating at all."
Lu Ping said, "This is also what I was puzzled about just now. Now it seems that all the mysteries are under this Thieving Heaven Laozu's corpse and the Heaven Stealing Divine Axe's spirituality."
Although this Heaven Stealing Divine Axe was only a first tribulation spirit treasure, its quality was obviously among the best among the first tribulation spirit treasures. It even had some of the characteristics of a second tribulation spirit treasure. Out of the weapon spirit's instinct, it could even absorb and refine a part of the spiritual energy and store it in the spirit treasure itself. This was the fundamental reason why the Heaven Stealing Divine Axe could achieve two attacks before.
It was just that the spiritual energy absorbed and stored by the body was not refined by the cultivator's primeval essence, so it had no use for the spirit treasure's weapon spirit. Therefore, this weapon spirit looked so weak that only a thin shadow was left, and it could collapse at any time.
And Thieving Heaven Laozu's method was even more brilliant. He clearly drew out a branch vein from the Nine Mystical Tower's spirit vein to suppress this stone room. Originally, it might have been to recuperate in this stone room, but when Lu Ping looked at the collapsed abdomen of the giant rat's corpse, he clearly did not wait for Thieving Heaven Laozu to heal and died because of his heavy injuries.
On the other hand, due to its instinct to protect itself, the artifact spirit of the Heaven Stealing Divine Axe hid itself in the corpse of the giant rat, which was why it could barely keep its spiritual body from dissipating after nearly ten thousand years. However, its memories and the like had all disappeared, leaving only its instinct to protect itself.
Dabao did not give up and asked the old man behind him, "Heaven Stealing Divine Axe, Thieving Heaven Laozu, Spirit Seeking Rat, Treasure Seeking Rat, you don't remember any of them?"
The old man shook his head and said, "They all sound familiar, but I can't remember anything."
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm sure you know your current situation better than anyone else. If you don't want to dissipate, quickly find someone to recognize as your master. With the nourishment of primeval essence, you can slowly recover your spirituality."
The old man was extremely afraid of Lu Ping and did not dare to object to any of Lu Ping's orders, but he still asked timidly, "Then I'll recognize this little fatty as my master? This little fatty is so nice and kind! "
Dabao immediately beamed with joy, but Qing Hu beside him was not the slightest bit annoyed.
Lu Ping laughed coldly and said, "He only has a little bit of cultivation. Even if you break open his bone marrow and suck him dry, he won't be able to satisfy your needs. Don't even think about it before he enters the Dharma stage."
The old man's eyes darted around seven or eight times, and he said, "Then, then, then can I follow you?"
Lu Ping glared at him and pointed at Qing Hu, saying, "I don't need her. Stop talking nonsense and just follow her."
The old man was slightly disappointed, but seeing that Qing Hu seemed to be the most powerful person among them besides Lu Ping, and hearing from Lu Ping's tone, it seemed that the little fatty in front of him would still follow Dabao after he grew up, the old man could only nod.
Then, the old man turned into a streak of black light and flew toward the Heaven Stealing Divine Axe in Lu Ping's hand. Lu Ping threw the axe in his hand, and the black light disappeared into it, then flew into Qing Hu's hand.
Qing Hu suddenly spat out a stream of pure primeval essence into the axe in her hand, and the Heaven Stealing Divine Axe immediately shone with a black light.
