Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 781

The Blood Axe Lord didn't know the full implications of this action, but he was certain that the Blood Soul Clan didn't have many options.

Between being enslaved and having one's race exterminated, the Blood Axe Lord can only choose the middle path, subject to certain constraints.

They formed an anti-North River Emperor alliance to survive in the cracks. With the strength of the Blood Axe Lord, he naturally could not become the leader of the alliance, and even world monarchs find it difficult to be the leader of an alliance.

At this time, the Chaos City Lord, who is powerful but not a world ruler, would be very suitable.

Even if they formed an alliance, they couldn't oppress them like the Great Emperor of the Northern River.

"I plan to form an alliance, which will be composed of monarchs from various worlds. If the city lord can become the leader of the alliance, I think it would be of some significance to the city lord."

The Lord of Blood Axe stared intently into Lu Yunhe's eyes, his emotions beyond words.

"alliance!"

Lu Yunhe pondered, "Indeed, if the Blood Axe Lord wants to resist the Northern River Emperor, the two of them alone are far from enough. At least they need to bring in a group of world monarchs."

It must be said that Lu Yunhe was indeed quite interested in this. There were many hidden treasures in the Broken Tooth Mountains, and many of them would be useful to him.

Moreover, it would be very troublesome and difficult for him to search for these things on his own.

Having a presence in the Broken Tooth Mountains would be ideal.

These natives are already a force in the Broken Tooth Mountains, and there are enough of them. If they can be mobilized to search for the Chaos Origin Lifeform or the treasures he desires, it would be far better than him fighting alone.

These indigenous forces, even if they are only in one world, are incredibly powerful.

Looking at the entire Blood Soul World, Lu Yunhe felt it was a bit outrageous, as if an army could easily sweep away an entire Origin World.

The entire Blood Soul World emerged, and apart from the Source World, which was influenced by the Supreme Being, none could stop it.

Even more outrageous is the Emperor level. Even the weakest Emperor is practically invincible in the Realm Heart Continent.

However, in the Broken Tooth Mountains, Emperor-level beings have become rampant. Every floating island and every native world has at least one Emperor-level being.

The number of Emperor-level beings in the entire Broken Emperor Mountain Range is even greater than the number of Cosmic Gods in the Realm Heart Continent, which is truly extraordinary.

Lu Yunhe had considered establishing a presence in the Broken Tooth Mountains to facilitate his actions.

However, he was, after all, an outsider and a cultivator from the Realm Heart Continent, and each native world was very independent, not to mention the floating islands.

It was unrealistic for outsiders to establish their own power base, so after thinking about it for a moment, Lu Yunhe didn't give it much further consideration.

However, it has now been discovered that the appearance of the Northern River Emperor is indeed an opportunity for him.

Under the oppression of the Northern River Emperor, there must be some people who are unwilling to submit, but who are no match for him.

Originally, the choice was either to submit or be exterminated, but now there is another option.

If the so-called alliance succeeds, Lu Yunhe will be able to fully extend his influence into the Broken Tooth Mountains, making it even easier for him to do whatever he wants.

It must be said that the actions of the Northern River Emperor did indeed give him some opportunities from the sidelines.

The existence of the Northern River Emperor also directly squeezed the living space of some of the original inhabitants, forcing them to seek compromises with the outside world.

At another time, even the Great Emperor of the Northern River would not submit to these people, let alone cultivators.

Even now, I would prefer to form a loose alliance, in anticipation of future possibilities.

As long as we can prolong the time, a turning point may come. Who knows, it's not impossible that the Great Emperor of Beihe might suddenly die in some dangerous environment, directly resolving the crisis.

"Lord of the City, are you interested?" The Blood Axe Lord, seeing the unusual activity revealed by the Chaos City Lord, understood that there was indeed a chance.

For the sake of the continuation of the Blood Soul Clan, the Lord of the Blood Axe racked his brains and exhausted all his efforts.

“I can make contact with many world monarchs who are unwilling to submit to Emperor Beihe,” the Blood Axe Lord quickly said.

In fact, he had already contacted many world monarchs during this period, but most of them declined or hesitated.

After all, the strength and influence of the Northern River Emperor are undeniable, and not all world rulers are willing to try to stop him; many are willing to submit.

"In that case, it seems I need to nag a bit more," Lu Yunhe nodded.

"We won't let the city lord down!"

The Blood Axe Lord's face lit up with joy. As long as the Chaos City Lord agreed to help, the matter could be said to be half successful.

Having witnessed the strength of the Chaos City Lord, the Blood Axe Lord felt even more confident about the plan.

It's powerful and its functionality far exceeds expectations, but its core strength isn't overpowered—it's just right.

"Lord of the city, please enjoy the banquet first. You are a great benefactor of my Blood Soul Clan, and we should express our gratitude to you properly." The Lord of Blood Axe made the arrangements, and then began to contact the monarchs of other worlds.

After experiencing the banquet, Lu Yunhe went to collect his spoils.

Not only that, the Lord of Blood Axe also completely opened up the Blood Soul Clan's treasure trove to Lu Yunhe, no longer keeping it hidden.

Lu Yunhe also discovered some valuable materials, including Hunyuan sand.

"That's quite generous!"

Lu Yunhe only took what he needed, which relieved Elder Blood Soul, who was guarding the treasure vault.

"Alliance is good, but the most important thing is still yourself." Lu Yunhe examined the corpse of the Hunyuan life form in his hand, comprehended its life structure, and adjusted his own divine body, wanting to be more in sync with the Hunyuan space.

The Blood Axe Lord's idea was indeed tempting, but for Lu Yunhe, it was just a casual game of chess, and whether it succeeded or not didn't matter.

Moreover, Lu Yunhe was not optimistic that the so-called alliance alone could withstand Emperor Beihe.

"One must possess the strength to contend with the Great Emperor of the Northern River before one can truly participate," Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Without sufficient strength, any so-called alliance is merely a baseless entity that can be easily crushed.

Moreover, if cultivators from the Realm Heart Continent really did participate, there's no guarantee that other Great Emperors or even Supremes wouldn't be interested in it.

After all, a family squabble is a completely different thing from outsiders getting involved.

The real pressure comes when even the Great Emperor or Supreme Being gets involved.

Without sufficient strength, it's impossible to deal with these powerful beings.

"Hunyuan Divine Body!"

Lu Yunhe continuously adjusted his divine body structure, attempting to directly absorb the power of Hunyuan.

"Not even close!"

Chapter 717 The Great Emperor of Beihe

Meanwhile, the Corpse Monarch and the others on the other side also quickly fled the Blood Soul World and ventured deep into the void.

"This operation not only failed to conquer the Blood Soul World, but even our subordinates were captured. That hateful Blood Axe Lord!" the six-armed giant said viciously.

"No, the most important thing is that cultivator. If it weren't for him, we would have succeeded long ago." The Corpse Monarch said with a glint in his eyes, his resentment towards the Chaos City Lord reaching its peak.

Not only did they disrupt his plans, but they also captured all his men, resulting in heavy losses and forcing him to submit to the Blood Axe Master.

"Let's go back and report to the Emperor first, and let him decide."

……

In the Northern River World, the Corpse Monarch and his companions flew to the gates of the majestic palace that floated high in the sky.

"Brother Tianchen," the Corpse Monarch said in a deep voice, "please go and convey our message that we wish to pay our respects to the Emperor."

"Corpse?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the silver-haired man guarding the palace gate. He was also a royal-level being and had submitted to the power of the Northern River Emperor in his early years, so he understood the strength of the Corpse Monarch.

The fact that he returned with such a solemn expression suggests that something unexpected must have happened.

"Corpses, weren't you all going to attack the Blood Soul World? Why are you all back together now? Could it be that another Great Emperor has intervened?" the silver-haired man asked疑惑地.

Unless the Emperor intervenes, he can't think of anyone else who could stop the corpses and the others.

"Don't even mention it. A cultivator has appeared in that Blood Soul World. He's incredibly powerful and possesses a secret soul technique that has caused us great losses," the Corpse Monarch said bitterly. "I rushed back this time to report to the Emperor as soon as possible. Brother Tianchen, you should pass on the message quickly."

"Alright, I'll go and deliver the message right away." The silver-haired man also understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately created an avatar to rush into the palace.

……

In front of a purple flowerbed.

A man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the purple flowerbeds, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as the sea. Even standing there, he exuded a chilling and menacing aura!

The reputation of the 'Great Emperor of the Northern River' was truly earned through battle. He fought his way up from weakness to his current status, and his fame was forged by countless powerful figures.

The sword light was like a celestial river, dazzling and brilliant, causing all sides to bow down in defeat, and even making emperors willing to become his subordinates, guarding the palace and relaying messages.

Even so, the Northern River Emperor was still not satisfied and wanted to go further, frantically consolidating his power, causing countless worlds to tremble.

On the surface, the territory he rules over is similar to that of other emperors, but in reality, the experts he commands, who are emperor-level beings, can be considered the number one person below the Supreme Emperor Haogu.

After all, the other emperors weren't interested in this, so it was Beihe who was still working on it.

Whoosh!

A streak of light flew in from afar and landed, revealing the silver-haired man in disguise. He respectfully greeted, "Your Majesty."

"What is it?" The Great Emperor of Beihe remained gazing intently at the flowers, unmoved by anything else, and spoke calmly.

"The Corpse Lord and others request an audience," the silver-haired man said.

"Oh? They're back so soon. It seems something unexpected happened. Let them in," Emperor Beihe instructed.

"Yes." The silver-haired man's avatar quickly retreated.

In just a few breaths, the Corpse Monarch and the others arrived.

The Corpse Monarch was able to maintain his composure due to his strength, while the other three World Monarchs were trembling with fear, demonstrating the profound majesty of the Northern River Emperor, which even some emperors could not withstand.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," the four world monarchs said respectfully.

Emperor Beihe then turned around and calmly looked at the four of them: "Speak, what's the problem?"

"Yes!" The Corpse Monarch stepped forward. "The four of us attacked the Blood Soul World, and everything went according to plan. At first, it went very smoothly, but then a cultivator named the Chaos City Lord appeared."

"His strength is terrifying, even stronger than mine." The Corpse Monarch's expression was very serious.

Although they had only exchanged a few blows, he acknowledged the Chaos City Lord's strength.

"Even stronger than you!"

Emperor Beihe suddenly became interested. Unlike the other three world monarchs who were only at the early stage of the Emperor level, the Corpse Monarch had the strength of the mid-stage Emperor level and was among the top-ranked among his many subordinates.
