Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Chapter 114 Sky-Splitting Claw

The cultivation chamber of the three-legged golden crow was a large nest, fully equipped with all kinds of utensils, suggesting that its former owner must have been someone who knew how to enjoy life.

However, the three-legged golden crow didn't care about any of that, because it knew how dangerous its situation was. If it wanted to survive in the enemy camp, it had to demonstrate unparalleled talent.

The secret technique given by Venerable Golden Wing was a secret technique at the level of a Universe Venerable. It was said that only World Lords could cultivate it. Venerable Golden Wing, as the creator of the secret technique, naturally knew this. He did this to see how talented the Three-Legged Golden Crow really was.

The three-legged golden crow examined the secret technique and began practicing the Sky-Splitting Claw.

The Sky-Splitting Claw has three forms. The first form can be used by World Lords, and once learned, it can kill ordinary Immortals.

The second move can be used at the Immortal level, making even ordinary Immortals comparable to those who have been granted titles.

This third move, when unleashed by an Immortal-level King, boasts combat power comparable to a Universe Venerable. Of course, it leaves the user almost completely exhausted; it can be used as a trump card, but not as a regular means of combat.

It must be said that the secret method created by the Cosmic Venerable is indeed profound, requiring an extremely deep understanding of the laws of space.

However, this did not stump the Three-Legged Golden Crow, because the cultivation of the Nine Forms of Creation also required an extremely profound understanding of the laws of space.

If one can master the fourth form, one's understanding of the laws is already comparable to that of an immortal.

Skycracking Claw!

Click!

After just one look, the Three-Legged Golden Crow successfully unleashed the first move of the Sky-Splitting Claw.

Cracks appeared in the solid training room space, and violent spatial turbulence surged out from the cracks. The three-legged golden crow felt an extremely powerful suction force pulling it towards the spatial crack.

Boo!

The three-legged golden crow cried out and hurriedly flew out of the cultivation room.

Boom boom boom!

This was the sound of everything in the cultivation room being devoured; the noise stopped after about ten minutes. The three-legged golden crow used its mental power to investigate and found that the spatial rift was still there, but there was nothing left for it to devour, so it quieted down.

The ability to devour is merely a byproduct; its true power lies in that crack. This single move alone could absolutely annihilate an ordinary immortal, its power no less than the fourth move of the Nine Forms of Creation.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Sky-Splitting Claw is more powerful than the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening. After all, the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening has nine forms, while the Sky-Splitting Claw only has three. The Sky-Splitting Claw's pinnacle is only the Universe Venerable, while the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening is a terrifying secret technique capable of slaying true gods.

It's just that at the current stage, the Sky-Splitting Claw is more suitable for the Three-Legged Golden Crow in its demon form.

"Boss, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Firebird was a dutiful lackey and came to check the situation immediately, but there was no demon behind it.

Clearly, although the Firebird was personally appointed as the steward by the Three-Legged Golden Crow, these little demons still preferred to listen to the old steward, the Fox Cat. Although they dared not say it openly, they had their own opinions about His Highness, the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

"It's nothing, it was just the noise I made while cultivating. I can't live here anymore, I have to find another place. Hmm, why are you the only one here? Where are the other demons?"

"Are you having trouble dealing with them and need my help?" the three-legged golden crow asked knowingly.

"No need, I already have a plan, it just needs some time." Firebird said that although he was a domain lord, he was still very confident in dealing with the fox cat and other domain lords. However, the three-legged golden crow's talent was too amazing. It had only been a short while and it had already mastered such a powerful secret technique. He hadn't had time to deal with it yet.

Firebird thought to itself: I knew I hadn't misjudged this bird. This leader definitely has a bright future. I must stick close to him.

I also want to demonstrate my abilities and subdue those fox-cat demons so that I can rightfully become the manager of Yanyang Peak.

"I didn't expect you to master the first move so quickly, very good."

The commotion caused by the three-legged golden crow's claw strike was quite significant, and Venerable Golden Wing quickly noticed it. He was very satisfied with the three-legged golden crow's performance.

A Domain Lord-level cultivator who can master the first move is qualified to become its personal disciple, even disregarding its status as a star beast.

"I just don't know how long it will take to cultivate the second form." Venerable Golden Wing began to look forward to it.

"Boss, please move to the side hall first. I will immediately order the demon cultivator to repair the main hall."

Chaos City.

After digesting what he had learned from his comprehension, Nuolanshan once again entered the Chaos Ruins.

The 52 Chaos Stele still stood in a row, while Nuolanshan retreated far away, simultaneously comprehending its meaning.

The noisy sounds reappeared in Nuolanshan's mind, and the Lord of Chaos City brought a cup of hot tea to Nuolanshan's lips.

This made Nuolanshan pause for a moment, looking at the Lord of Chaos City with a puzzled expression.

"Senior brother, didn't you say you were out of tea leaves? Do you have another tea tree?"

"No, but I sped up time, so it has grown new leaves," the Chaos City Lord replied.

"Uh—" You're awesome, I'm a noob.

As expected of a cosmic master who can control a region of time and space, even cheating is done so openly and honestly.

This is far superior to any ripening-enhancing technique. It's not ripening at all; for the tea tree, it's about growing slowly, little by little.

"Senior brother, since that's the case, why don't you give me a few tea leaves so I can enjoy them when I get home?" Nuolanshan said shamelessly.

"This is for promoting enlightenment, not for you to enjoy tea. Don't waste time, continue your enlightenment. You must know that your opportunity is unique to everyone else, and you must be courageous and diligent in order not to disappoint everyone's expectations," the Chaos City Lord reprimanded.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Nuolanshan lost his temper after being scolded, drank the tea, and continued to meditate.

However, he was careful while drinking the tea, and he also drank the tea leaves in the tea, but he did not swallow them, but held them in his mouth.

The tea leaves were quickly picked clean, and Nuolanshan finished his meditation, left the Chaos Ruins, and departed from the City Lord's Mansion.

He had grasped too much, and now his head was foggy and even a little throbbing, making him stagger as he walked.

"Teacher." Someone helped up the dizzy Nuolanshan; this person was none other than Luo Feng.

He was about to leave Chaos City and had come to say goodbye to Nuolanshan.

"It's you, Luo Feng. I have something to give you." Nuolanshan's spirits lifted immediately upon seeing Luo Feng, and he took out a small bag of damp tea leaves from his world ring.

Originally, Nuolanshan wanted to go back to his residence to dry the tea leaves, but now that Luo Feng was by his side, he was too lazy to take that step. At most, Luo Feng would know that the tea leaves had been brewed, but he would never know that Nuolanshan had been holding them in his mouth for several years.

"Tea leaves?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"This is Qingming tea. After brewing and drinking it, your mind will be clear and you can also enhance your understanding of the laws. It is a rare and precious treasure. I specially obtained it from the Lord of Chaos City," Nuolanshan said, half-jokingly.

"It's so amazing, thank you, teacher." Upon hearing how powerful the tea was, Luo Feng didn't stand on ceremony with Nuolanshan and directly put it into his spatial ring.

"bite!

The system detected that the host bestowed Qingming Tea upon Luo Feng, a second-tier genius, triggering a cashback mechanism. The cashback items have been stored in the host's world ring. Please check them.

Hehehe, it really works!

Nuolanshan smiled, revealing a triumphant grin.
