Nuolanshan's Orders

Pula stood respectfully, a screen materializing out of thin air before him, displaying figures. "Hmm?" Pula was startled. There were three people on the screen, including his teacher, Yu Ke Nuolanshan, and the elder patriarch. However, both patriarchs stood deferentially beside a man in a dark green combat suit, whose chest bore a strange Giant Axe medal. This sight instantly sent massive waves through Pula's heart. A Giant Axe medal! This was undoubtedly the most powerful proof of the strongest warrior at their level, the highest honor one could achieve after countless life-and-death battles in the Giant Axe Martial Arena, one of the five super-giants alongside the Virtual Universe, Universe First Bank, Cosmic River Bank, and Cosmic Mercenary Alliance! The Giant Axe Martial Arena was a place where powerful individuals fought each other, and others placed bets. For instance, Cosmic-level experts engaging in 'Martial Combat' meant two Cosmic-level experts would fight to the death on an uninhabited planet or in space, under the supervised live broadcast of the Giant Axe Martial Arena! Only when one died would the other be declared victorious! The death rate for each Martial Combat was 100%, as it was a true life-and-death struggle. Those who dared to participate were absolutely confident in their unique skills. Participants were known as 'Martial Combatants'. Win ten matches, earn the title 'Giant Axe Warrior' from the Giant Axe Martial Arena. Win a hundred matches, earn the title 'Martial Combat King' from the Giant Axe Martial Arena. Win a thousand matches, earn the title 'Giant Axe Martial Artist' from the Giant Axe Martial Arena. This meant... under Nuolanshan's command, over a thousand Cosmic-level experts had died! Each life-and-death duel was an absolute gamble, a challenge to life itself! To win a thousand matches, that was the mark of a true 'strongest Cosmic-level warrior'. This wasn't merely being "proclaimed invincible." So-called Planetary-level domain experts were proclaimed invincible within their own tier. But it was just a 'proclamation'. The title 'Giant Axe Warrior', however, had to be earned through countless life-and-death battles, proven by the blood and heads of 1000 Cosmic-level experts! This demonstrated Nuolanshan's power! Within the Nuolanshan Family, the Ancestor 'Nuolanshan' was nothing short of a legend. In the Carlo Empire, the Nuolanshan Family was undeniably the third most powerful family! The first family was the Imperial Family, possessing a Domain Lord. The second family was the 'Weidi Family', whose main influence was in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and even extended to the Ganwu Universe Nation. In terms of overall power, they were immeasurably stronger than the Imperial Family. Among the other families, many also had 'Cosmic-level Ninth Tier' experts, but... the Nuolanshan Family was the undisputed third family! Moreover, a large number of Stellar-level experts were willing to pledge allegiance, and even among Nuolanshan's personal disciples, including family members, there were six Cosmic-level individuals! Six great Cosmic-level disciples under his command! He could establish an 8,000-strong Nuolanshan Guard legion! Every Nuolanshan Guard was a Stellar-level Ninth Tier expert! The number of life planets they controlled exceeded a thousand! This was all built by Nuolanshan himself! Nuolanshan, a legendary figure! Although, normally, a galaxy would only produce one Cosmic-level expert through natural development, the probability increased significantly with a teacher's guidance (for example, Earthlings could be pushed to Sector Lord-level by the Yunmo Star Master, showing the benefits of having a teacher). Looking at the Silverblue Empire, Cosmic-level experts might be pitifully few. But in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a powerful empire controlling over eight thousand galaxies, ancient families were numerous, and even Immortal-level experts existed! Naturally, there were many Cosmic-level experts! Therefore, 'Cosmic-level Giant Axe Martial Artists' were still somewhat present in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. However, 'Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Martial Artists' and 'Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Martial Artists' were legends in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, because how many Domain Lords were there in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire to begin with? And even fewer participated in the Martial Combat Arena! Thus— Over millions of years, the vast Black Dragon Mountain Empire might only produce one 'Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Martial Artist'. As for 'Sector Lord-level Giant Axe Martial Artists', they were legends even in the Ganwu Universe Nation! "A Giant Axe Martial Artist, a Cosmic-level Giant Axe Martial Artist!" Pula's heart trembled with excitement. "In the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, there are currently only 12 living individuals who have ever earned the title 'Cosmic-level Giant Axe Martial Artist'. Six are still Cosmic-level Ninth Tier, four are Domain Lords, and two are Sector Lords." "Ancestor!" "I've finally seen the Ancestor," Pula exclaimed, overwhelmed with emotion. "You are Pula?" The man, whose eyes were like venomous scorpions, looked at Pula. "I've heard of you. You are the most promising among the young generation of our Nuolanshan Family to reach 'Cosmic-level'." "Pula greets the Ancestor," Pula said respectfully, his heart brimming with excitement. "Hmm." The man nodded slightly. "I hear you discovered a Mechanical Race spaceship on Earth, and the corpse of a young Golden Horned Beast is also on Earth?" "Yes!" Pula quickly replied, "The Mechanical Race spaceship is in Earth's waters, but the entrance's defenses are too strong for us to enter. And the young Golden Horned Beast did indeed fall on Earth, but... too little time has passed, and our search area is too small. We haven't found the young Golden Horned Beast's corpse yet." "A spaceship, and the corpse of a young Golden Horned Beast!" The man couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. As a Giant Axe Martial Artist, his friends, vision, and experiences were extraordinary. He knew very well that a rare item like the corpse of a young Golden Horned Beast would be sought after even by Immortal-level experts, and the Ganwu Universe Nation would definitely be willing to purchase it for dissection and research. The price offered by powers like Immortal-level experts or the Ganwu Universe Nation would be far greater than the entire assets of the Nuolanshan Family. "The spaceship is secondary; the Golden Horned Beast corpse is the truly rare item. Even if prepared as a specimen for collection, it would be a top-tier luxury collectible," the man thought, filled with anticipation. Pula said, "We're worried the young beast's corpse might have decomposed..." "Impossible!" The man immediately said, "The Golden Horned Beast possesses an internal world to sustain it. Even a thousand years after death, though its muscles might rot, its bones and scales would remain. Furthermore, the data you sent indicates it only died three years ago." "Pula," the man said coldly, "I order you... to leave behind the 'elite experts' from your fleet to form an elite squad, and have them quietly remain on Earth in a spaceship! Their objective is to find the corpse of the young Golden Horned Beast!" "Remain on Earth?" Pula was shocked. "Ancestor, Earth has a Lord..." "What if it has a Lord?" The man said coldly, "I'm merely ordering an elite squad to temporarily lie in wait on Earth to search for the young Golden Horned Beast! Even if their tracks are exposed later... couldn't that elite squad just claim to be 'space pirates'? What evidence would Earthlings have to say that squad belongs to my Nuolanshan Family?" Have that squad impersonate 'space pirates'? "Ancestor, we just left, and then space pirates appear? Wouldn't Earthlings be suspicious?" Pula asked. "Remember!" the man said indifferently, "Imperial law is about evidence! Without evidence, even if they know those people were left by my Nuolanshan Family, if they can't prove it... that those people are indeed from my Nuolanshan Family, then that Earth Lord, Luo Feng, will be powerless!" "Understood," Pula nodded repeatedly. "Go!" the man ordered. "You must find the corpse of the young Golden Horned Beast." "Ancestor, we also discovered a strange treasure on Earth, look." Pula immediately played a video beside him. It was footage filmed inside the Shenlongjia region of Huaxia Nation on Earth, showing the poisonous gas sphere mountain. "Treasure?" Nuolanshan, whose eyes were cold and sinister, had been watching the video calmly, but as he continued to watch, a trace of shock and horror appeared on his face. He immediately commanded, "Pula, absolutely none of you are allowed to touch it again! Listen carefully, absolutely, absolutely not allowed! Don't act on your own!" Yu Ke and Dewen, the two patriarchs, were stunned. They had never seen their Ancestor so shocked and furious. "Ancestor," Pula was taken aback. "Aren't you going to carry out your orders?" Nuolanshan barked coldly. "Remember my words, don't touch that thing, absolutely do not touch it." "Yes, yes, yes," Pula, intimidated, immediately obeyed and left the Virtual Universe. "Ancestor?" Yu Ke Nuolanshan and Dewen Nuolanshan, the two patriarchs, looked at their Ancestor, filled with curiosity. Nuolanshan, however, let out a low growl: "Don't ask so many questions. I hope it's dead. If it's alive..." Nuolanshan seemed to envision countless galaxies being annihilated, and his body involuntarily trembled. "Earth? Earth?" "What kind of place is this?!" Nuolanshan was terrified in his heart. "Even if Earth has countless treasures, I absolutely won't go there. As for that Mechanical Race spaceship, it requires Cosmic-level Fifth or Sixth Tier experts? Hmph, I'll send my disciples. I can't go myself, otherwise, if that thing is alive, I wouldn't even have time to escape!" Solar System. As two gigantic battleships flew out of Earth, a spaceship approximately 100 meters in diameter emerged from within one of them. Activating its 'shielding and stealth' effects, it cautiously returned to Earth, just like Bu Luo Nuolanshan's adventure squad had done previously. Under the stealth of the C-grade cosmic adventure spaceship, Earthlings were completely unable to detect it. "Tuolei Wu!" "These are the Ancestor's personal orders. You must execute them perfectly. Here is the detailed plan." "Remember, no matter what, you absolutely cannot let Earthlings catch... evidence that you are members of the Nuolanshan Family." 20 Stellar-level Ninth Tier, 60 Stellar-level Seventh and Eighth Tier. This was the Nuolanshan Family Elite Squad. Unbeknownst to Earthlings, they quietly infiltrated Earth, without disturbing its inhabitants, and began their mission to search for the corpse of the young Golden Horned Beast. In the Dark Universe. Luo Feng's spaceship continued to advance rapidly. "Haha, now that we've endured this, things will be much easier from now on," Hong laughed. Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all very happy. "Indeed! Even if they know Earth has treasures. But to send more people... they would have to enter the void region through a 'wormhole' and then fly for two years and eight months to get here," Lei Shen said proudly. "Two years and eight months; the longer the time, the more thoroughly we can prepare." Luo Feng also nodded. Yes! After this group left, even if the Nuolanshan Family dispatched Cosmic-level experts, it would still take two years and eight months to reach Earth. By then... "My Golden Horned Beast clone will probably be Cosmic-level long before then," Luo Feng thought, his mood joyful.
