Pula stood respectfully, before him a screen materialized out of thin air, displaying shadowy figures.
“Hmm?” Pula was taken aback.
There were three people on the screen, including his teacher, ‘Yuke Norrains’, and the elder chieftain. Both of these clan leaders stood with utmost reverence beside a man dressed in a dark green combat uniform. On the man’s chest hung a peculiar medal shaped like a colossal axe, causing immediate astonishment to surge within Pula.
The Colossal Axe Medal!
This was undoubtedly the strongest warrior’s ultimate proof at this level, the highest honor attainable only after surviving countless life-or-death battles in the ‘Colossal Axe Battle Arena’, one of the five major superpowers alongside the Virtual Universe, the First Galactic Bank, the Milky Way Bank, and the Galactic Mercenary Alliance!
The Colossal Axe Battle Arena was a place where strong warriors fought each other to the death while others placed bets.
For example, when Cosmic-level warriors engaged in ‘Battle Duels’, two ‘Cosmic-level warriors’ would fight to the death on an uninhabited planet or in outer space, under the supervision and live broadcast of the Colossal Axe Battle Arena. The mortality rate of each duel was a staggering 100%, as these were real-life death matches. Only those with absolute confidence in their ultimate techniques dared to participate.
Participants were known as ‘Battle Duelists’.
Win ten duels, earn the title of ‘Warrior’ from the Colossal Axe Battle Arena.
Win a hundred duels, earn the title of ‘Battle King’.
Win a thousand duels, earn the title of ‘Colossal Axe Warrior’.
In other words… under Norrains’ command, more than a thousand Cosmic-level warriors had perished! Each life-or-death match was an absolute adventure, a challenge to one’s very existence. Surviving a thousand such matches meant being the true ‘Cosmic-level Supreme Warrior’. This wasn’t just a claim of invincibility.
So-called Domain-level warriors in the planetary realm, claiming invincibility at their level,
were only claims.
But the title of ‘Colossal Axe Warrior’ was earned through countless life-or-death battles, proven by the heads and blood of a thousand Cosmic-level warriors! This demonstrated the might of Norrains. Within the Norrains family, the clan ancestor ‘Norrains’ was practically a legend. In the Karodi Empire, the Norrains family was firmly established as the third most powerful family!
The first family was the royal family, possessing a Domain Lord.
The second family was the ‘Weidi Family’, whose main power base was in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, extending even to the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. Their overall strength was unknownly greater than the royal family.
Other clans also boasted numerous ‘Cosmic-level 9th-tier’ warriors, yet… the Norrains family stood indisputably as the third mightiest force! Countless Stellar-level warriors eagerly sought to pledge allegiance to them, and even within Norrains’ own disciples—including those from his bloodline—there were six Cosmic-level warriors!
Six Cosmic-level disciples under his command!
He could muster an army of eight thousand Norrains Guards! Each Norrains Guard was a Stellar-level 9th-tier warrior! Commanding over a thousand life-sustaining planets!
This was what Norrains had built!
Norrains, a legendary figure!
…
Although normally a galaxy would only develop one Cosmic-level warrior, having a teacher significantly increased the chances (such as Earthlings, who could be pushed to the Border-Master level by the master of the Yimo Star, showing the benefits of having a teacher). Looking across the ‘Silver Blue Empire’, perhaps Cosmic-level warriors were scarce. But in the ‘Black Dragon Mountain Empire’, a mighty empire controlling more than 8,000 galaxies with many ancient families, even Immortal warriors existed!
Cosmic-level warriors were naturally very numerous!
Therefore, ‘Cosmic-level Colossal Axe Warriors’ were still somewhat present in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Of course, ‘Domain-level Colossal Axe Warriors’ and ‘Border-Master-level Colossal Axe Warriors’ were merely legends within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, because how many Domain Lords did the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire have? Those who participated in the Battle Arena were even fewer!
Therefore—
In millions or even tens of millions of years, the mighty Black Dragon Mountain Empire might only produce one ‘Domain-level Colossal Axe Warrior’.
As for ‘Border-Master-level Colossal Axe Warriors’, they were merely legends in the Qianwu Cosmic Nation!
…
“Giant Axe Champion, a Cosmic-tier Giant Axe Champion!” Pula’s heart quivered with exhilaration. “In the current Black Dragon Mountain Empire, only twelve living warriors have ever earned the title of ‘Cosmic-tier Giant Axe Champion.’ Among them, six remain at Cosmic-tier Ninth Rank, four have ascended to Domain Lord status, and two have reached the realm of Border-Masters.”
“Clan Ancestor!”
“At last, I’ve seen the clan ancestor.” Pula was ecstatic.
“You are Pula?” the man with scorpion-like eyes looked at Pula. “I’ve heard of you. You are the most promising young warrior in our Norrains family to reach the Cosmic level.”
“Pula greets the clan ancestor.” Pula’s heart was filled with excitement as he bowed respectfully.
“Hmm.” The man nodded slightly. “I heard you discovered a Mechanical Clan spaceship on Earth, and the corpse of a young Golden-Horned Beast is also on Earth?”
“Yes!”
Pula quickly replied, “The Mechanical Clan spaceship is in the ocean of Earth, but the entrance’s defenses are too strong for us to enter. And the young Golden-Horned Beast indeed perished on Earth, but… the time is too short, our search area is too small, we haven’t found the corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast yet.”
“The spaceship, the corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast!” The man couldn’t help but tremble with excitement. As a Colossal Axe Warrior, his connections and vision were extraordinary. He clearly knew that the corpse of a young Golden-Horned Beast was an extremely rare item, something even Immortal warriors would be willing to purchase, and the Qianwu Cosmic Nation would definitely buy it for dissection and research.
The price quoted by powerful forces like Immortal warriors or the Qianwu Cosmic Nation would easily surpass the entire Norrains family’s assets.
“The spaceship is secondary. The corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast is the real treasure. Even if made into a specimen for collection, it would be the most luxurious collection item.” The man was filled with anticipation.
Pula said, “We are worried that the young beast’s corpse might have decayed…”
“Impossible!”
The man immediately replied, “The Golden-Horned Beast has an internal world to support it. Even a thousand years after death, its muscles may decay, but its bones and scales will remain. Not to mention, according to the information you sent, it has only been dead for three years.”
“Pula.” The man’s voice turned cold, “I command you… leave the ‘elite experts’ from your fleet to form an elite squad, and secretly stay on Earth aboard a spaceship! The goal is to find the corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast!”
“Stay on Earth?” Pula was greatly shocked, “Clan ancestor, there is a lord on Earth…”
“So what if there is a lord?”
The man said coldly, “I’m only commanding an elite squad to temporarily hide on Earth and search for the young Golden-Horned Beast! Even if they are discovered later… just let the elite squad claim to be ‘space pirates’, won’t that do? What evidence do the Earthlings have to say that squad belongs to our Norrains family?”
Have the squad impersonate ‘space pirates’?
“Clan ancestor, if space pirates appear right after we leave, won’t the Earthlings suspect?” Pula asked.
“Remember!” The man said coldly, “The empire’s law is based on evidence! Without evidence, even if they know it’s our Norrains family leaving people behind, as long as they can’t prove it… those people aren’t our Norrains family members. Then, that Earth lord ‘Luo Feng’ can do nothing!”
“Understood.” Pula nodded quickly.
“Go!” The man ordered, “Make sure to find the corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast!”
“Clan ancestor, we also discovered a strange treasure on Earth. Look.” Pula immediately played a video on the side. It was footage taken in the Shennongjia area of the Chinese Huaxia nation, showing a spherical mountain emitting toxic gas.
“A treasure?”
Norrains, with his cold and sinister gaze, was watching the video calmly at first, but as he watched, his face showed a trace of shock and fear. He immediately commanded, “Pula, absolutely no one from our side is allowed to touch it again! Listen clearly, absolutely no one! Don’t act on your own!”
Yuke and Dewen, the two clan leaders, were stunned. They had never seen their clan ancestor so furious before.
“Clan ancestor.” Pula was taken aback.
“Have you not gone to carry out your mission yet?” Norrains coldly shouted, “Remember my words, don’t touch that thing, absolutely don’t touch it.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Pula was frightened and immediately obeyed, leaving the Virtual Universe.
…
“Clan ancestor?”
Yuke Norrains and Dewen Norrains, the two clan leaders, looked at their clan ancestor with curiosity. However, Norrains growled, “Don’t ask so many questions. I hope it’s dead. if it’s alive…” Norrains seemed to see scenes of countless galaxies perishing, involuntarily shuddering.
“Earth? Earth?”
“What kind of place is this!”
Norrains’ heart was gripped by terror. “Even if the Earth holds boundless treasures, I shall never set foot there. As for that Mechanical Clan starship—requiring Cosmic-level 5th or 6th tier? Hah! Let my disciples handle it. I dare not venture myself, lest that… thing still lives. Should it awaken, I’d never escape in time!”
…
Solar System.
As two giant warships flew out of Earth, a spaceship about 100 meters in diameter flew out from one of the warships, activating ‘shielding and stealth’ effects. Just like Bro Norrains’ adventure team before, it cautiously returned to Earth. Under the stealth of a Class C cosmic adventure ship, Earth’s humans couldn’t detect it.
“Tolaiwu!”
“This is a direct order from the clan ancestor. You must complete this mission well. Here is the detailed plan.”
“Remember, no matter what, absolutely do not let the Earthlings capture any of you… you are the evidence that you are members of the Norrains family.”
20 Stellar-level 9th-tier warriors, 60 Stellar-level 7th-tier and 8th-tier warriors.
This was the elite squad of the Norrains family.
Unbeknownst to Earth’s humans, they secretly infiltrated Earth, not disturbing the Earthlings, and began their mission to search for the corpse of the young Golden-Horned Beast.
…
In the Dark Cosmos.
Luo Feng’s spaceship continued to speed forward.
“Haha, we’ve survived this time, it will be easier in the future.” Hong laughed joyfully.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all very happy.
“Yeah! Even if they know there are treasures on Earth. But, to send more people… they must travel through a ‘wormhole’ into the void region, and then fly for two years and eight months before arriving.” Lei Shen was very pleased. “Two years and eight months, the longer the time, the better prepared we will be.”
Luo Feng nodded in agreement.
Yes!
After this group left, even if the Norrains family sent Cosmic-level warriors, it would take two years and eight months to reach Earth. By then…
“My Golden-Horned Beast clone will probably already be Cosmic-level.” Luo Feng felt very happy.
