Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As expected of someone from the Upper Realm, you truly have great courage!" Master Yanxu laughed loudly.

"This is utterly arrogant!" The Dragon Emperor was furious.

According to the information he had gathered, although the cultivation system of people from the Upper Realm was different from that of cultivators, the combat power of each person who came would not exceed that of the Void Realm. What was he so arrogant about?

"The remaining two maps should be in your hands, right?" Nolanshan took out the fragmented maps from the World Ring and floated them in front of Yanxu Zhenren and the Dragon Emperor.

Master Yanxu and the Dragon Emperor exchanged a glance and took out the Heavenly Map from their storage rings. The three maps together depicted the starry sky of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

"It seems I'm right. Let's do it!" Nuolanshan's gaze turned cold, and his aura exploded.

"Kill them!" With a command from True Person Yanxu and the Dragon Emperor, their subordinate Realm Lords and Domain Lords charged towards Mount Nuolan.

"Trying to outnumber the weak? You've got the wrong idea. Come out, Star Eater!" Nuolanshan shouted, and the long-absent Star Eater made a stunning appearance.

Over the years, Mount Nuolan has spared no expense in cultivating the Star-Eating Grass. Now, the Star-Eating Grass has grown to ninety vines, each of which has the strength of a ninth-level Domain Lord, while the main vine has even reached the strength of a World Lord.

When the Star-Eating Grass appeared, it blotted out the sky, like a primeval forest, trapping all the charging enemies inside. If it weren't for the fact that True Man Yanxu and the Dragon Emperor were far away and reacted quickly, they would have been trapped inside as well.

"Ninety vines of Star-Eating Grass, how rich!" Surprisingly, Genji and the Dragon Emperor recognized the Star-Eating Grass immediately.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This is a perilous mission with a 90% mortality rate. Many geniuses must have died here. The cultivators of the Purple Profound Realm naturally learned about the "Upper Realm" by looting the loot boxes. However, they only obey their masters and cannot be commanded by others, which is why they were unable to use the Heavenly Map to sneak out.

"Cut them off, fight your way out."

The trapped cultivators naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; they unleashed their magical treasures to launch a frenzied attack on the Star-Eating Grass.

Chi Chi Chi!

Since there was a Realm Lord in the group, he quickly cut several vines, allowing them to move forward again. However, in the next instant, the cut vines grew back.

"What?!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Star-Eating Grass began to violently contract and strangle, its leaves sharp as knives, and its vines released insectoid hive toxins and mental interference.

"Take the antidote immediately!"

"Set up the formation!"

The trapped cultivators were in a panic and exhausted, unable to escape for the time being.

Master Yanxu and the Dragon Emperor exchanged a glance and launched a simultaneous attack on Mount Nuolan.

Master Yanxu wields a celestial sword, equivalent to a fifth-tier psychic weapon. The Dragon Emperor, on the other hand, uses his dragon pearl, which is also equivalent to a fifth-tier weapon.

Thousands of sword energies rushed towards Mount Nuolan, becoming even sharper under the enhancement of the Dragon Emperor's Golden Law.

"Sixth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon, World of Axes!" Noranshan unleashed the Cosmic Divine Weapon, his body now completely protected by countless axes.

Ding Ding Ding!

The axe and sword clashed violently, producing a dense, metallic clang.

Judging from the current situation, the Axe World of Mount Noran is being suppressed by the sword energy of Master Yanxu.

This is normal, after all, Yanxu Zhenren's realm is far above that of Nuolanshan, and the Axe World is only the sixth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon.

However, Nuolanshan was not flustered, because he had expected it. He withstood the sword energy and swung his giant axe at the Dragon Emperor.

"The third move of the Nine Forms of Heaven Opening," Nuolanshan cleaved with his axe, crashing down on the Dragon Emperor like Mount Tai.

"You bastard!" the Dragon Emperor roared. "It was clearly Master Yanxu who was trying to cut you with a sword, but you're trying to cut me with an axe!"

I want you dead!

Enraged, the Dragon Emperor unleashed his natal dragon pearl, smashing it directly at the giant axe.

Bang!

The Dragon Balls were intact, but the giant axe had a large gash broken in it and was thrown away.

"Damn it!" Nuolanshan cursed angrily. This fourth-tier weapon was indeed obsolete; it was so fragile.

Even so, Nuolanshan did not stop its attack. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Nuolanshan figures appeared, charging towards the Dragon Emperor in a mighty wave.

"Illusory bodies, no, they are all real." The Dragon Emperor scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that these were all true bodies.

This is an application of spatial laws, almost reaching the level of myriad lines flowing together.

"Since they're all real, I'll kill them all! Roar!" The Dragon Emperor revealed his true form, a ten-thousand-foot-long, five-clawed golden dragon.

With a sweeping motion, he swept across the thousands of figures on Mount Nuolan.

Puff puff……

As Nuolanshan's figure disappeared, the Dragon Emperor revealed his ferocious smile.

laugh!

Then its tail broke off.

It was cleaved in two by a single axe strike from Nuolanshan.

Norlan Mountain also possesses the treasured battle axe bestowed upon him by his master, the Universe Venerable. With such a powerful weapon at his full power, severing the dragon's tail would be a piece of cake.

Originally, Nuolanshan was still thinking about how to get close, but he never expected that the Dragon Emperor would reveal his true form and try to use his huge body to destroy all of his figures at the same time.

What a great thing!

Without hesitation, Nuolanshan took out his treasured battle axe and swung it down.

"Ah! How could it be so fast!" the Dragon Emperor cried out in despair. He never expected that Mount Nuolan would hold such a treasure, let alone that Mount Nuolan's speed would suddenly become so fast.

Given the Dragon Emperor's strength, it should have been able to avoid even the great treasures of Mount Nuolan.

The reason why Nuolanshan's speed suddenly increased was because he used the time acceleration in the essence of the time law. The sudden increase in speed caught the Dragon Emperor off guard.

"You old bastard, how long are you going to stand there! Make your move now!" the Dragon Emperor roared.

"Okay, but the artifact must belong to me," Master Yanxu demanded.

"Fine!" The Dragon Emperor gritted his teeth and admitted defeat. There was no other way. His tail had been severed, which meant he was already seriously injured and there was no way he could take down Mount Nuolan.

Take another blow from my axe!

Nuolanshan swung his axe again, preparing to press his advantage.

when!

Unexpectedly, a giant sword shot out and crashed into the treasured battle axe. Although the powerful force did not damage the battle axe in the slightest, it did change its attack trajectory.

boom!

The attack grazed the Dragon Emperor's scales and passed by, sinking a nameless island in the distance and allowing the Dragon Emperor to escape and take healing pills in time.

"Damn it!" Nuolanshan was filled with rage. He activated the seventh level of his Cosmic Divine Weapon, which condensed into a giant axe that charged toward the Dragon Emperor with overwhelming heavenly might. Meanwhile, he himself swung the battle axe and turned to slash at Yanxu Zhenren.

Having witnessed the power of the battle axe, Master Yanxu dared not take it head-on and prepared to avoid its sharp edge. Such a divine weapon would inevitably consume a great deal of energy, and he refused to believe that he couldn't wear down Nuolanshan.

"not good!"

However, as he prepared to dodge, he suddenly discovered that the space around him was imprisoned, and for a moment he was unable to move.

laugh!

At the critical moment, Master Yanxu summoned a shield. Judging from its appearance, it must have been left behind by a genius who participated in the trial after his death. It was a top-tier fifth-order weapon.

Click!

Even the most outstanding specimen was cleaved in two by this single axe blow.

However, thanks to the shield that blocked and deflected the force, Yanxu Zhenren was not killed by Nuolanshan. Instead, he controlled the immortal sword and thrust it towards Nuolanshan's waist.

The angles they used were so tricky, and the insidiousness of their moves surpassed even those of evil and heretical sects.

However, Nuolanshan did not dodge, letting the flying sword attack him. He then raised his axe and shouted as he chopped down at Yanxu Zhenren.

"Ah, you're insane!" Yanxu Zhenren's face showed horror. This was a completely reckless fighting style. Was it really necessary to trade one life for another?
