Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

He himself was in great danger and basically had no choice but to run away.

As one of the thirteen emperors, Emperor Wei did not want to live such a life, living in constant fear.

As for reverse deterrence, even within the range of the floating island, Emperor Wei would have to run away. Once he left the floating island, it wouldn't be a matter of escaping, but rather a matter of whether he could survive.

Therefore, Wei Huang felt that it would be better to discuss with the other party and see if they could take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits.

"Hehe, Emperor Wei, you should have said so earlier." Emperor Wufeng chuckled, though he didn't continue his attack, he also showed no intention of putting away his weapon.

"Fine, then hand over the Creation Cauldron first!" Emperor Wufeng said without any politeness.

"Hmph, Wu Feng, when did I say I would give it to you unconditionally? If you want my Creation Cauldron, you'll have to offer treasures of equal value."

Emperor Wei's face darkened instantly, and he said in a sinister tone, "Rather than completely breaking off relations, I'm only agreeing to make an exchange with you."

If it weren't for the pressure of strength, Emperor Wei wouldn't even bother to make an exchange.

"If I hide the Creation Cauldron, neither of you will ever find it in this lifetime," Emperor Wei said confidently.

The floating island is vast and subject to strict rules, making it virtually impossible to find a treasure that has been deliberately hidden within it.

"If you dare to do that, then you'd better stay hidden in the shadows for the rest of your life and don't even think about coming out," Emperor Wufeng threatened back.

"And while you can run, can your men escape?"

"Let me tell you, we just went to Yanhuang Island and captured more than a dozen of Yanhuang's elders."

They have the upper hand now, so they can't let Wei Huang get away with it; they need to give him a good beating.

"Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Emperor Wufeng's words, Emperor Wei had no doubt that the two of them, working together, could indeed achieve this level of skill.

"Just some underlings!" Emperor Wei replied indifferently.

He wasn't particularly concerned about his subordinates, but he wasn't completely indifferent either.

If he really becomes all alone, it will be very difficult for him.

Faced with the overwhelming power of Emperor Wufeng, Emperor Wei had no choice but to back down once again.

"If you want to trade the Creation Cauldron..."

Emperor Wei put forward some conditions, which were basically related to either the other thirteen emperors or the Supreme One.

"Emperor Wei, don't think I don't know how much of a role the Creation Cauldron can play in your hands. You should propose some more realistic conditions."

Before Emperor Wei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Wufeng. The natives and the Death Fiend Clan were not cultivators, so their efficiency in utilizing these treasures was not high to begin with.

Although the treasure itself has value, it is often unnecessary to use it.

Emperor Wei also valued the life force within the Creation Cauldron because he needed to conduct research and experiments with his subordinates, which would increase their survival rate.

Moreover, the power of the Creation Cauldron also has a nurturing effect on the divine body, which is why Emperor Wei snatched it back then.

But to say that it has any significant effect on the Deathbringer Clan wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Although Emperor Wufeng's words were unpleasant, they were indeed the truth.

However, if it weren't for the coercion from Emperor Wufeng and the Lord of Chaos City, Emperor Wei would never have wanted to make the deal.

If the other party can't give him what he wants, why should he trade with them even if he can't use the treasures they have?

However, seeing the two menacing figures approaching, Wei Huang felt it would be better to send them away.

But if the transaction is too easy, or if he gives it away directly, what if these two people take a fancy to the treasure he has next time? Will he have to obediently hand it over with both hands?

Emperor Wei pondered for a moment, and neither Lu Yunhe nor Emperor Wufeng disturbed the other.

The advantage is currently on their side, and Wei Huang doesn't have many options.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Emperor Wei's heart stirred, and he turned his gaze to Lu Yunhe: "I can have the Creation Cauldron, but you must do me a favor, Lord of Chaos City."

"help?"

Lu Yunhe raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to deal with other emperors, do you dare to leave the floating island?"

"No need, follow me." Wei Huang led the way, and Lu Yunhe and his companion, being skilled and daring, followed directly.

The group then arrived at the very bottom of Mount Death, before a pitch-black passage.

The deep, dark passage leads to the heart of the volcano, and the scorching, deathly aura emanates from within the cave, sending chills down one's spine.

Judging from the traces around the cave, there should still be members of the Dead Fiend Clan stationed there, but Wei Huang informed them to leave, so that Lu Yunhe and the other two wouldn't have a chance to catch them.

"Let's go in together. Don't worry, the dangers are all visible."

Emperor Wei glanced at the two of them and walked directly into the depths of the cave.

“The Emperor is stationed here. I’ll go in alone. Anyway, this is just an avatar,” Lu Yunhe said.

"No need, let's go in together. Even Emperor Wei is not afraid, let alone me," Emperor Wufeng laughed.

Emperor Wei knew that the Chaos City Lord's presence here was merely an avatar, and he figured the Lord wouldn't do anything irrational.

"it is good…"

Lu Yunhe and Emperor Wufeng followed behind Emperor Wei and entered the cave together.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you, Wu Feng, to have the audacity to come along." Emperor Wei looked at Emperor Wu Feng who had followed, and it was unclear whether he was praising him or mocking him.

"So what is your purpose in bringing the two of us in here?" Emperor Wufeng asked directly.

"You'll know soon."

Wei Huang led the two deeper into the cave, and the further they went, the stronger the cold and terrifying aura became.

It felt as if a giant hand, representing death, was gripping my neck tightly, making me feel suffocated.

Anyone with even slightly weaker strength would probably have collapsed and died halfway there.

However, all three present possessed the strength of the late-stage Emperor level, and they still withstood the pressure and walked into the cave.

Lu Yunhe estimated the distance the three of them had traveled and realized they had reached the very bottom of the volcano, which was the core area of ​​the entire floating island.

Emperor Wufeng, standing to the side, also abandoned his contempt and his expression became solemn, yet his eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

Although floating islands are dangerous, there aren't many places where the environment alone can pose a threat to a late-stage Emperor-level expert.

"arrive!"

Wei Huang suddenly stopped, and the previously narrow cave suddenly became spacious.

In the distance, there was a huge cave space, filled with a molten substance that was reddish-black and resembled magma.

"This is the interior of the volcano within the entire floating island, but what's below isn't magma, but rather almost tangible death energy," Wei Huang said with a smile.

"I call it the Sea of ​​Death and Sin!"

However, compared to the constantly erupting volcanoes outside, the death energy here seems much more peaceful.

However, considering the power of those volcanic eruptions, this almost tangible force of death is probably stronger than imagined.

"The world is like a yin-yang embrace; even in the place where the power of death is most ferocious, flowers representing life also bloom," Emperor Wei murmured.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunhe glanced around and immediately saw scattered, blood-red flowers deep within the cave.

"The Flower of Life and Death, a flower of life that blooms amidst death," Wei Huang said, noticing the Chaos City Lord's gaze.

"For our Deathbringer Clan, this Flower of Life and Death has an extraordinary effect."

The entire Sinfire Island did not produce any precious treasures, because the most core treasure was here, as if it had been nurtured by the power of the entire floating island.

"I also paid a great price to retrieve some of the Flowers of Life and Death from the edge of the world." Emperor Wei turned his gaze to Lu Yunhe.

"As long as you can help me obtain the Flower of Life and Death, I can also hand over the Creation Cauldron to you."

The Flower of Life and Death had a greater effect on Emperor Wei than the Flowing Light Spirit Milk had on Emperor Wufeng, so Emperor Wei could not afford to ignore it.

Although the treasure was extremely valuable, a glance at the surrounding environment made it clear that the level of danger was not low.

The fact that the Flower of Life and Death still exists in the distance shows that even Emperor Wei finds it difficult to penetrate, or rather, he is unwilling to pay the corresponding price.

"Within the area covered by this Sea of ​​Death and Sin, it is impossible to fly. As for teleportation, even we, the Death and Sin race, cannot do it here."

"Most importantly, the influence of this death force is constant, and the deeper you go, the stronger the pull of the death force becomes."

"Once you can't withstand it and are dragged to the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Death by the power of death, only death awaits you," Emperor Wei said with a look of trepidation.

At that time, Emperor Wei came with his subordinates. As a result, the Death Clan elder, who was comparable to a god general, was directly swallowed up by this power of death and could not even be saved.

"A clone!"

Lu Yunhe said softly, "In such a dangerous place, the most suitable thing is naturally the power of a clone."

“That’s right. If it’s a clone, then there’s no need to worry about these dangers at all.” Wei Huang’s eyes flashed with deep envy.

The previous cultivators were all too weak; even if they had clones, he didn't take them seriously.

But given the immense power of the Chaos City Lord, the fact that he can still possess an avatar is quite remarkable.

"A clone isn't a panacea," Lu Yunhe shook his head, but without a clone, nothing is possible.

One reason he could act so recklessly in the Broken Tooth Mountains was that the person there was only an avatar and had no concern for his safety.

"Let me give it a try!"

Lu Yunhe immediately created a clone, which made the two people next to him extremely envious.

This ability requires no subordinates or special circumstances, and even the Supreme Beings cannot overcome it.

"Give!"

Emperor Wei tossed out an elaborate vessel, specifically designed to hold the Flower of Life and Death.

Such precious treasures also need to be carefully protected and placed in special containers, for fear of leaking even the slightest bit of their essence.

Lu Yunhe flew toward the nearest Flower of Life and Death, which was within his sight.

However, as soon as he entered the Sea of ​​Death and Calamity, an invisible force of rules caused him to fall from mid-air and float in the seawater composed of the power of death.

It seemed that because they were too close, waves of death energy were constantly dragging his body and soul, trying to pull him completely into the water.

Floating on the water, Lu Yunhe tried his best to lift his body, but he still couldn't stop himself from falling.

Although the descent was very, very slow, it was still quite terrifying at that speed.
