Breaking Through the Cage

The Bodhi Heartwood and the axe merged seamlessly, and the patterns on the axe erupted with bursts of light.

Images flooded into his mind one after another: a majestic Buddha with kind eyes and benevolent expression, a rugged Monk standing resolutely, a fair-skinned Monk holding his own severed head, a young samanera with lowered brows and closed eyes, clutching a string of prayer beads.

These scenes played out in his mind until he saw his own figure standing on an ancient battlefield.

As he absorbed these images, the stone axe suddenly flew out of his hand, heading towards the giant.

"Hey!"

The giant grinned as he saw the intact axe, reaching out to catch it effortlessly as it floated in front of him.

In that moment, the axe seemed to become one with the giant, unleashing its full power in his hands.

The patterns on the axe transformed into mysterious symbols, and with each swing, he learned to harness their power.
