Surrender?
Or death?
Baikaro's entire body stiffened. The green scales beneath his black robe trembled uncontrollably as boundless fear surged through him.
He had witnessed it with his own eyes—
his teacher, a Cosmic Rank Ninth powerhouse, slain by a single spear strike.
Compared to that, his own Cosmic Rank Eighth cultivation was no more than that of an ant before Jiang Yan.
"I… I surrender!"
The instinct to survive crushed all other thoughts. Baikaro's voice was hoarse and trembling.
The Blade Clan revered strength above all else. Jiang Yan's absolute power not only extinguished any thought of resistance, it completely conquered him.
Back then, it was precisely because he had seen Nolanshan's terrifying might in the Giant Axe Arena that he had chosen to acknowledge him as his master.
Yet now—
That very master couldn't withstand even one move from Jiang Yan.
What did that say about Jiang Yan's strength?
Baikaro knelt on one knee in the void, lowering his head deeply.
"Blade Clan Baikaro… pays respects to the Master."
"Good. Very good."
Jiang Yan spoke calmly. The other party's decisive submission saved him a great deal of trouble.
Within the Nolanshan family, the two strongest were Nolanshan and Baikaro, followed by Dewin, the second-generation patriarch.
Now that Nolanshan and Dewin were dead, Jiang Yan could naturally take over the Nolanshan family's territory.
Baikaro would act as his proxy.
It also happened that on Earth, all major nations and powerful factions were eager to leave the planet and step into the universe.
Then let them follow Baikaro—
Straight to the Karo Empire.
"Don't resist," Jiang Yan said lightly.
"Yes!" Baikaro replied respectfully, standing still.
Jiang Yan's thoughts moved.
A wisp of spiritual power entwined with Thunder Law instantly plunged into Baikaro's Sea of Consciousness, imprinting itself deep within his soul.
Virtual Universe · Black Dragon Mountain Island
Nine-Star Bay, Jiang Yan's manor.
At this moment, Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng were all present.
"Third Brother," Thor said excitedly,
"you've also obtained the title of Giant Axe Warrior in the Giant Axe Arena. Hurry and come to Canglan Star to sign up for the Universe Mercenary Assessment!"
"We've found something good in the Thunder World!"
"Oh?" Jiang Yan smiled. "What good stuff?"
He naturally knew what existed in the Thunder World—
the Realm within a Realm, and a massive amount of Cosmic Crystals.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the three of them to Canglan Star in the first place.
"Cosmic Crystals!" Hong said, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"Third Brother, these Cosmic Crystals are good stuff," Thor continued enthusiastically.
"One cubic meter is worth one thousand Cosmic Coins!
Brother Hong, Fourth Brother, and I spent four or five days roaming the Thunder World and found around five thousand cubic meters!"
"That's five million Cosmic Coins!"
"Now that news of the Cosmic Crystals has spread, if you don't come, there won't be any left for you!"
Thor looked at Jiang Yan with an urgent expression.
"Yes, Third Brother, come quickly!" Luo Feng urged as well.
"Are you three still short of money now?" Jiang Yan shook his head, laughing helplessly.
The winnings they had earned betting on his life-and-death battles were already enough to push them straight to Realm Lord with cultivation resources.
"Third Brother, this is different!"
Thor shook his head.
"The money we made before came too easily. It even made me a little numb."
"But hunting Cosmic Crystals in the Thunder World, competing with all kinds of mercenary teams—
that's exciting!"
"It makes my blood boil!"
"Yes, the second brother is right," Hong nodded.
This time, entering the Thunder World and participating in the Universe Apprentice Mercenary Assessment made him and Thor feel as though they had returned to the Great Nirvana Era, when Earth had just begun its rise.
Back then, they weren't the strongest on Earth.
They had climbed up from the very bottom, fighting countless others for cultivation resources, step by step becoming the first and second strongest on the planet.
They missed those days.
And now, in the Thunder World, they had found that feeling again.
"Haha, alright! I'll rush over immediately!"
Jiang Yan laughed.
He took out the Giant Axe Warrior title medal from the Giant Axe Arena.
It would be nice to also obtain a Cosmic Mercenary Medal to wear.
Within that Realm within a Realm lay assets worth hundreds of mixed-element units.
Although he already possessed over ten thousand mixed-element units, he still wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away.
Since he knew about it—
How could he allow others to take everything?
Not even the soup would be left!
"Haha, we'll be waiting for you in the Thunder World!"
Thor and the others laughed.
Their figures vanished from the Virtual Universe, their consciousness clearly returning to reality.
Jiang Yan also withdrew his consciousness.
"You're going to take the Universe Apprentice Mercenary Assessment?"
In the manor, Red Kite raised an eyebrow.
"With your strength, isn't that completely unnecessary? A total waste of time."
"With that time, you might as well come spar with me in the Slaughterfield Decisive Battle Space."
As a named disciple of the Star Prison Demon Lord, the techniques she cultivated were Four Symbols Spear Codex and Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Codex.
And Jiang Yan's understanding of these two techniques—especially their earlier chapters—made her feel inferior every time they fought.
Each battle allowed him to point out flaws she had never noticed before.
It shocked her deeply.
She was a Peak King-level powerhouse.
Yet in the planetary and stellar chapters of those techniques, her comprehension was actually inferior to Jiang Yan's.
Jiang Yan's understanding of the planetary and stellar stages had already reached absolute perfection.
She simply couldn't understand how his enlightenment could be so monstrously high.
"My brothers are taking the assessment too," Jiang Yan chuckled.
"They might run into trouble. I want to be there to suppress the situation."
He added, "And inside the Thunder World, there's also a Realm within a Realm containing items worth hundreds of mixed-element units."
"Oh? A Realm within a Realm?"
Red Kite's eyes lit up.
Even for a Realm Lord, opening another realm inside their inner world was extremely difficult.
"And hundreds of mixed-element units…" she smiled.
"Then it's worth the trip."
As she spoke, she took out a medal from her storage ring and pinned it to her chest.
On it was an emblem—
Six planets suspended above a sea of blood.
"Sister Red Kite, you're a Six-Star Universe Mercenary?" Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I'm also a Giant Axe Warrior," Red Kite said with a chuckle, producing another strange metal axe medal.
"Teacher's disciples—
there's not a single one who isn't a genius among geniuses."
Jiang Yan nodded in agreement.
A genius among geniuses?
That fit him perfectly.
Even if he had a cheat—
Who said you weren't allowed to hang?
Red Kite looked at him and smiled.
"Let's go. Canglan Star isn't far."
"We'll be there in no time."
