Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

"I choose the one in control!"

Nolanshan once again chose the controller, and he still used the eighth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon, but it had already reached the point of mastery.

Nuolanshan used the seventh level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon to clash with him, but the giant axe quickly disintegrated, and its axe beam slashed towards Nuolanshan.

"Sever the Boundary!" Nuolanshan swung his giant axe, unleashing the third move of the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening, which sent the giant axe flying and averted the crisis.

Whoosh whoosh!

Mount Noran was instantly surrounded by the world of axe.

It turned out that the mysterious man in yellow had rearranged the giant axe into thousands of smaller axes as it flew, trapping Mount Nuolan within them.

No, it's not as simple as being trapped in it.

Thousands of tiny axes continuously compressed the space, approaching Nuolan Mountain at an extremely fast speed, seemingly intending to chop Nuolan Mountain into mincemeat.

"Damn it!" Nuolanshan cursed under his breath.

At this moment, he was like a tiger trapped in a cage, with the enemy watching him from outside. If he wanted to kill the enemy, he had to break out of the cage first.

Tigers break free of their cages by using their sharp claws or powerful bodies.

Although Nuolanshan is a person, he is almost the same.

"Soul Impact!" Nuolanshan concentrated his mental power and first delivered a Soul Impact to the mysterious man in yellow, which slightly affected his control.

At the same time, he added a layer of earth armor to himself, and then unleashed a world-splitting slash.

The power of the Boundary Slash was immense, but the thousands of small axes were also agile. When they attacked, they scattered like a flock of birds, and after the attack, they surrounded Mount Nuolan again.

Noranshan was also skilled in using the World of Axes and knew its effects, so he chose to charge forward.

Now it's a race to see who can move faster, and whether Nuolanshan can break out of the encirclement before Xiaofu finishes.

drink!

With a roar, Nuolanshan accelerated time, distorted space, and unleashed its fastest speed, propelled by the wind.

combine!

The mysterious man in yellow knew about Nuolanshan's plan, but when Zhanjie attacked, he had to command Xiaofu to dodge, otherwise Xiaofu would be destroyed and its destructive power would be greatly reduced.

Now it's all about who's faster.

The vulnerabilities are being fixed at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and Norlhan Mountain is also sprinting forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

When 95% of the vulnerability had been fixed, only half of Nuolanshan's body was visible outside the encirclement.

"Faster!"

Mount Noran unleashed its potential, increasing its speed once again.

*Sizzle!*

However, it was too late. Nuolanshan's left arm was chopped into mincemeat by the small axe, and he was seriously injured.

"Ah! Slash of the World!" Nolanshan did not give up the fight, and with only his right hand, he forcefully swung out a Slash of the World.

Boom!

Nuolanshan was ultimately seriously injured. Although the power of his axe strike was undiminished, his aim was slightly off, and he did not kill the mysterious man in yellow. He only managed to cut off half of the man's hand.

This injury is insignificant to a level 12 mental master and has no impact on his control of the cosmic weapon.

So soon, an axe cleaved towards Nuolanshan's back, carrying a time-space confinement effect that rendered the heavily injured Nuolanshan unable to move for a moment.

drink!

Nuolanshan also activated his mental power, controlling the giant axe to strike the mysterious man in yellow.

In terms of distance, the yellow-clad mystery man's axe would have to reach Nuolan Mountain first, especially since Nuolan Mountain is currently immobilized.

Although it was only a few moves, he was indeed greatly exhausted and could not be as fierce as he was at the beginning.

The mysterious man in yellow had also calculated the distance, so he did not dodge, but instead used all his strength to control the giant axe to chop towards Nuolan Mountain.

He is the gatekeeper. Once he kills Nuolanshan, his mission will be complete and the game will be over. It doesn't matter if he gets caught in the trap.

The only way for Nuolanshan to break out of this predicament is to break free of his restraints before the giant axe strikes him.

Ah!

Nuolanshan's veins bulged, his teeth clenched, and he let out a beast-like roar. His entire body erupted with primal force, and he activated the sharp metal law, but he still could not break free from the restraints.

Click!

At this moment, something unusual happened in the inner world of Nuolanshan. The eggshell that had been nurtured in the Locke Divine Water for many years suddenly developed cracks, and the life inside was about to break out of the shell.

咤！

A furious roar came from the eggshell, carrying boundless power. In an instant, Nuolanshan felt refreshed and his strength greatly increased, and he broke free from his confinement.

"How is this possible!" The mysterious man in yellow was shocked and terrified.

laugh!

The yellow-clad mystery man was still showing shock on his face when he was cleaved in two by Nuolanshan's World-Slaying Strike. The axe that attacked Nuolanshan, now without its master, fell to the ground in despair.

Ha, ha, ha ha ha...

Nuolanshan couldn't hide his joy and burst into laughter. It wasn't because he had successfully passed the twelfth level of the Nine Heavens Bridge, but because his clone had been successfully conceived.

Pangu!

Yes, how could the clones born from Pangu's essence and blood not be clones of Pangu?

To be honest, Nuolanshan never imagined that he could successfully conceive Pangu's clone.

The system is truly powerful; the upper limit of its ability to create clones through cashback is incredibly high. System daddy, I love you.

Pangu, hahaha...

What a magnificent figure it was, with its straight spine, broad shoulders, bulging muscles, eyes like the sun and moon, a high nose, and thick hair.

Especially beneath that hair, there were countless, profound and mysterious laws and patterns, even invisible to the naked eye, on each individual hair. The phrase "carved dragons and painted phoenixes, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right" refers to Pangu.

He seemed to be born from the combination of all laws, a born god, the darling of the laws, the controller of the laws, and the end of the Tao.

The functions of Pangu's clones are twofold: one is to comprehensively enhance Nuolanshan's understanding of the laws, and the other is to comprehensively enhance Nuolanshan's physical strength.

Furthermore, from the inherited memories, Nuolanshan knows that Pangu's clone did not cultivate any laws, or rather, he created a law that belonged only to him—the Law of Power.

Therefore, at the moment of his birth, Nuolanshan was able to erupt, break free from its restraints, and cleave the mysterious man in yellow with an axe.

If the timing weren't so bad, Nuolanshan would definitely delve into his inner world to study the laws and secret patterns on Pangu's clone, to see how they were connected, combined, and integrated into one.

Things that are innate are incredibly difficult to understand.

"What happened to him in the end?"

"A temporary breakthrough?"

"Something just feels off."

The group of cosmic venerables discussed among themselves. Having lived for countless billions of years and possessing vast knowledge, they found Nolanshan's last-minute counterattack somewhat strange.

The rulers of Qianwu and Yuanchen, along with their teachers from Nuolan Mountain, exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

They had already guessed that the reason why Nuolanshan was able to turn the tables at the last moment was because his clone had been successfully created, which increased his overall strength.

"Look, he's going to challenge the 13th floor."
