Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Noranshan quickly reached the fourteenth level of the Cosmic Sky Bridge and chose the Controller as his opponent.

The opponents on this level are already capable of unleashing the ninth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon—even the immortal can be defeated.

The Cosmic Divine Weapon controls both the laws of time and space, making it the most powerful of the nine divine weapons.

Other divine weapons can at most rival the level of immortals, but cosmic divine weapons can defeat ordinary immortal military lords.

Generally speaking, only immortals can unleash this move. However, immortals can use even higher-level immortal weapons, so very few people can unleash this move before reaching immortality.

Those who can unleash this skill are absolutely exceptional.

"Fourth move!" As soon as the mysterious man appeared, Nuolanshan went all out and unleashed the fourth move.

The mysterious man also responded with the ninth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon.

The two giant axes collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a violent aftershock. Nolan Mountain protected himself within the world of axes to minimize the damage from the aftershocks, while the mysterious man had no other defenses and relied entirely on his physical body to withstand the impact.

The mysterious man was at the peak of the Realm Lord level, so he could withstand the aftershocks much more easily than Nuolanshan.

"Burn!" But Noranshan's methods were not limited to just one move; the flames instantly engulfed the entire space.

Before the mysterious man could even withdraw his cosmic weapon, he was already engulfed in flames, which crawled up his upper body from his feet like maggots clinging to bones.

The mysterious man was decisive; he severed both of his legs with a single chop and then flew into the air.

"Where do you think you're going!" With a thought, Nuolanshan summoned a fire dragon that opened its jaws and lunged at the mysterious man.

The mysterious figure could only flee while recalling the cosmic weapons to defend the area.

cut!

The cosmic weapon returned to the mysterious man's hands, and he cleaved the fire dragon in two with a single axe stroke.

He thought it was over, but unexpectedly, the fire dragon that had been cut in half turned into two fire dragons, which then attacked him at the same time.

Yes, how can you use a chopping motion to put out a fire?

"I'll kill you!" The mysterious man also realized this, so he decided to kill Nolan Mountain, the source of the fire, first. Without Nolan Mountain's output, the fire dragon would cease to exist.

"Fourth move!" Nuolanshan was prepared and unleashed the fourth move once again.

"Even the immortal can be defeated!" Faced with the axe swing from Nuolanshan, the mysterious man had no choice but to swing his axe back to clash.

Boom!

As a result, the two were evenly matched. If it weren't for the fact that Nuolanshan's cultivation level was low and he suffered from insufficient Origin Force, he could have suppressed the mysterious man's move.

However, it was already a success, because the fire dragon behind the mysterious man did not dissipate. And because the mysterious man was busy making his move, he had no time to pay attention to what was behind him.

hold head high!

The two fire dragons, one above and one below, devoured the mysterious man, and soon a barbecue smell wafted out.

Even after they were cooked, the mysterious man was still alive. He was unwilling to accept defeat and was determined to perish together with Nuolanshan, even in death. He would not allow any cosmic-level being to step over his corpse to pass through.

kill!

With his last bit of mental energy, he unleashed the ninth level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon once again.

"Fourth move!" Nolanshan couldn't dodge it and could only swing his axe to take the hit head-on.

Crack, crack, crack... The axe of Nuolan Mountain finally gave way and split open.

Although it negated most of the attack, the mysterious man's axe continued to cleave towards Mount Nuolan.

"Clang clang clang..." The Axe World spun at full speed, protecting Mount Noran without leaving a single leak.

As the giant axe swung down, the smaller axes of Nuolan Mountain were constantly damaged and fell. At this moment, it was a battle of who could stand to the end, and luck played a huge part in it.

It's fair to say that if Nuolanshan's battle axe hadn't broken, he would definitely have won. However, his battle axe was already a Tier 5 weapon; anything higher would be an immortal divine weapon, which wasn't allowed according to the competition rules.

In general, a Tier 5 weapon is more than enough. When it was designed this way, no one would have imagined that there would be a cosmic-level weapon capable of breaking through the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge and then attempting to cross the fourteenth level.

It seems like we're stuck in a vicious cycle, but the initial intention behind this design was for fairness. Because a divine weapon provides a significant boost to one's strength.

Just like an immortal king, if one has a supreme treasure, one can contend with a cosmic venerable. But without a supreme treasure, even the strongest immortal king would not dare to face a cosmic venerable.

In the original work, Luo Feng was so strong that his Immortal level was comparable to that of a Venerable, and the treasures he possessed accounted for a considerable proportion of his strength.

laugh!

All the small axes were knocked away by the mysterious man's giant axe, which ultimately struck Nuolanshan.

The mysterious man in the flames laughed, because he felt he had already won.

But at the same time, Noranshan also began to laugh. Because although the giant axe had struck him, it had not killed him, but only left a deep wound on his body.

With Nuolanshan's current physical condition, he can recover as long as he doesn't die on the spot.

Sure enough, after taking down the giant axe, although it still looked bloody, the wound was almost healed.

I have to mention again that Pangu's clones are truly amazing; they're practically cheat codes.

"Thunderous Might!" Nuolanshan added another thunderbolt.

Ah!

The mysterious man let out a miserable scream, unwilling to die.

……

The whole world fell silent, and all the big shots watching the battle held their breath.

Has such a genius truly emerged among the human race?

No, not a genius.

Damn it, what higher word could there be to describe Nolanshan's genius? Using the word "genius" to describe him is just too beneath him.

Cosmic level, passing the fourteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. You must know, even for a Domain Lord, passing the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven is already an extraordinary feat, enough to make a Cosmic Lord take him as a disciple. What kind of exaggerated level has Norlanshan reached? It's completely beyond imagination.

Even with the universe's incredible creativity, it's unimaginable that a cosmic entity could cross the fourteenth level of the Sky Bridge.

In the past, geniuses always spoke of Koti, Koti; from now on, geniuses will only speak of Norlan Mountain. He will become the new benchmark for humanity, a new legend.

"I, the Lord of Chaos City, acknowledge Nolan Mountain." The Lord of Chaos City appeared and publicly announced that Nolan Mountain had gained his approval.

Even if Nuolanshan were to pass through the thirteenth level of the Nine Heavens Bridge, the Chaos City Lord would still acknowledge him. This is because in the original story, when Luo Feng, a Domain Lord, passed through the thirteenth level of the Bridge, he was already accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord. Nuolanshan is merely a Universe-level cultivator.

Even the Lord of Chaos City hadn't anticipated that he could pass the fourteenth level. Even though he was an avatar focused on killing, he looked at Nuolan Mountain with gentle eyes, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"Boy from Nuolan Mountain, go and try to conquer the Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven." A figure even more imposing than the Lord of Chaos City appeared; it was none other than the strongest human being of the present day—the Founder of the Giant Axe.
