Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

The Great Emperor of the Northern River even wanted to include him among the divine generals, but the Corpse Monarch preferred warfare and also had some ulterior motives, so he refused.

If even the Corpse Monarch could admit he was inferior to that opponent, then there are probably few among his subordinates who could be stronger than that cultivator.

"Not only that, that cultivator also possessed an extremely terrifying soul technique. With a single thought, even the experts in the clan advanced and lost the power to resist, all becoming puppets of the Blood Soul World."

"Even we were affected by his soul attack, and our strength was weakened. Only when the four of us joined forces could we barely hold him off."

"The Lord of Blood Axe is also watching us closely, so we decided to retreat for the time being and quickly report the situation to the Emperor."

A hint of fear flashed in the Corpse Monarch's eyes. The Corpse Monarch was stronger than him, and with that soul attack, it was truly terrifying.

In his view, it was second only to the Great Emperor, and it would be too dangerous to fight it to the death.

"His strength is even greater than yours, and he can even use soul attacks." The Northern River Emperor's calm expression changed; he couldn't completely ignore such a powerful expert.

"Wind and smoke!"

Emperor Beihe spoke.

Instantly, the invisible mist condensed to form a bewitching woman in silver armor, who respectfully bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"Lord of Chaos City, do you have any information about this person?" Emperor Beihe asked.

As a being of royal rank, their level of intelligence is naturally quite high.

Emperor Beihe wanted to gather the strength of the masses and use his vast power to influence the Broken Tooth Mountain Range in order to achieve his goals, so intelligence work was naturally of paramount importance.

However, as a leader, he wasn't interested in such matters and delegated them all to his subordinates for collection and processing.

Fengyan, on the other hand, was Emperor Beihe's personal general and a direct member of the management team, specifically responsible for intelligence and information.

The core issue is intelligence about the indigenous world, while the secondary issue is intelligence about the Realm Heart Continent.

As for the Death Clan, most of them are in a deep slumber, and even the speed at which information spreads within themselves is incredibly slow, let alone their ability to collect it.

"Lord of Chaos City!"

The alluring woman in silver armor pondered for a moment, then immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Lord of Chaos City is an invincible being who has just been born on the Realm Heart Continent."

"Originally just a slightly powerful cosmic god, his strength became extremely terrifying after obtaining the supreme treasure. In his first all-out attack, he defeated the combined forces of the Polar Night Ancestor, the Eternal Night Ancestor, and the Iron Eagle Palace Master, and even killed the Polar Night Ancestor."

"Based on our assessment, the Lord of Chaos City should possess strength comparable to the mid-stage Emperor level. He has likely come to our Broken Tooth Mountain Range for training," General Fengyan explained.

"He killed the progenitor of the polar night!"

Upon hearing this information, Emperor Beihe was somewhat surprised. He had even heard about the commotion caused by the Ancestor of Polar Night in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

"As for the relationship between the Blood Soul World and the Chaos City Lord, the Blood Soul World sent people to the floating island to seize the Soul Spirit Fruit, and that should have been when they met."

"As for whether it's due to a deep relationship or the Blood Soul World hiring the Chaos City Lord, I haven't found out yet," said General Fengyan.

"If it's just a matter of hiring, perhaps the Lord of Chaos City won't get involved next time."

"It doesn't matter. With such strength, it won't affect the overall situation," Emperor Beihe said coldly.

"A cultivator who doesn't stay in the Realm Heart Continent properly actually dares to get involved in the affairs of my Broken Tooth Mountain Range. He is truly audacious."

"Your Majesty, our subordinates have all been captured by the Blood Soul World. If we attack now..." The Corpse Monarch said anxiously.

He knew the Northern River Emperor was stubborn, but he didn't expect him to be this stubborn.

"Shut up," the Great Emperor of Beihe said coldly, his gaze turning icy, like a cold sword piercing through.

The Corpse Monarch was momentarily speechless, but he was somewhat annoyed.

He had followed Emperor Beihe for a very long time and knew very well Emperor Beihe's temperament; he would not tolerate outsiders disobeying him.

However, the Corpse Lord thought that with his strength, he should be able to get some preferential treatment, but unexpectedly, it was still the same.

At this moment, the Corpse Monarch was beginning to understand the Blood Axe Lord's thoughts and why they would rather die than comply.

free!

If it doesn't go against the will of the Northern River Emperor, it seems like they are being treated very well, able to do whatever they want.

However, if there is any conflict with the goals of the Northern River Emperor, the latter will not make any compromises.

Either listen to him, or you die.

As a mid-stage Emperor-level expert, Emperor Beihe was only a late-stage Emperor-level expert. There was no insurmountable gap between them, but his status was so low that even the Corpse Monarch, who was used to being the ruler of the world and high above others, found it hard to accept.

"Conquering all sides is no accident, and no one can stop me," the Northern River Emperor said coldly, showing no concern for the lives of his subordinates.

He is the newly risen emperor, yet he has surpassed others and is not the weakest emperor. Even among the veteran emperors, it remains to be seen who is stronger and who is weaker until they fight.

The reason he was able to get to this point is because he was ruthless enough, ruthless enough to himself, and ruthless enough to his subordinates!

After all, whether it's him or the high and mighty 'Supreme,' they are actually still at the Emperor level! The Supreme is only at the perfect Emperor level.

If a large group of powerful 'Emperor-level' individuals joined forces, they could completely rival a Supreme Being! After all, the difference in strength wasn't too great, and their numbers could easily compensate for the disparity.

Therefore, unlike other emperors who merely nominally ruled their territories, the Great Emperor of Beihe aimed for complete dominance, ensuring that all the experts within his domain obeyed his commands.

To this end, the Great Emperor of the Northern River carefully selected a group of elite emperors to form a lineup of divine generals, which has now reached "twenty-four divine generals".

His goal was to gather "thirty-six divine generals".

According to his calculations, the thirty-six divine generals, when united, could rival a supreme being!

By then, his power will be no less than that of the Supreme One. He will then snowball his influence, continuously consolidating his power and seizing precious resources, eventually standing at the top of the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

This is the goal of the Northern River Emperor: to maximize all available power.

Like some other emperors, their control over their territories was too weak. The native worlds of each region only superficially obeyed their orders, but in reality, they all lived their own lives!

Therefore, the combined number of experts that the other three emperors under the command of 'Supreme Haogu' could lead was not as great as the number of experts led by Emperor Beihe.

Of course, the Great Emperor of Beihe did not waste his strength during this process.

On the contrary, he actually became stronger in the process.

With the continuous acquisition of various resources, Emperor Beihe felt that he was not far from becoming the number one person below the Supreme Being.

Not only him, but the entire force also grew stronger in the process.

In the endless wars and slaughter, the strong under his command have been tempered enough, and are even more likely to awaken their bloodlines and improve their strength.

Among his divine generals, some had broken through in battle, and thus were extremely loyal to him.

With this example, the Great Emperor of Beihe became increasingly convinced of his plan and would not allow anyone to obstruct it; anyone who obstructed him was his enemy.

"Emperor!"

The Corpse Lord was somewhat anxious and wanted to try again. Those prisoners were truly an indispensable force for the Corpse Clan, and they couldn't just abandon them like that.

"Corpse, I don't want to say it a second time." The Great Emperor of the Northern River lowered his gaze to the Corpse Monarch, as imposing as Mount Tai, causing the latter to lower his gaze.

"Yes!"

The Corpse Monarch had already sensed the will of the Northern River Emperor. If he continued speaking, not only would the prisoners be in danger, but he himself might also be in some danger.

The Corpse Monarch was not surprised that the Northern River Emperor might actually take action to kill him.

"This is troublesome." The four world monarchs exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat helpless. They all sensed that the Northern River Emperor's will was strong this time, and no one could stop him!

"Beihe!"

The Corpse Monarch lowered his head, not daring to reveal his thoughts at this moment, his resentment reaching its peak.

He had made significant contributions to the entire Northern River forces, constantly waging wars abroad, yet this was the treatment he received; the Corpse Monarch could not accept it.

This is no longer a question of whether his subordinates live or die; it's a question of personal life and dignity.

Now that things are like this, if one day the Great Emperor of Beihe asks him to do something that will surely lead to his death, will he still be able to resist?

"The Lord of Bloodaxe is right," the Corpse Monarch thought.

However, at this moment, in the Northern River World, he couldn't do anything he wanted.

"Powerful cultivators, with their soul attacks, are probably no match for most divine generals," Emperor Beihe pondered, wondering who would be the most suitable person to send to deal with the situation.

After all, he was just a cultivator; it wouldn't be appropriate for him to personally take action, as that would be too undignified.

Once you reach the Emperor level, the gap between each minor realm is also significant, and the elites among them are also capable of killing beings of the same level.

"Your Majesty, I just received news that the Lord of the Blood Axe has contacted some world monarchs and wants to form an anti-North River alliance." Feng Yan suddenly spoke up, interrupting the Northern River Emperor's thoughts.

"court death!"

……

Chapter 718 Free Alliance

"court death!"

The Northern River Emperor instantly exuded killing intent, causing the Corpse Monarch and others on the other side to tremble.

"I never expected the Lord of Blood Axe to actually dare to do this." The Corpse Monarch was extremely surprised.

During the previous clash with the Blood Soul World, he had heard that the Lord of the Blood Axe wanted to find someone to join forces with to resist the rule of the Northern River Emperor.

However, a group of world monarchs, intimidated by the majesty of the Northern River Emperor, dared not unite.

Because in a single world, it can only be considered a conflict, and the scope of its impact is not wide.

Once numerous world monarchs unite, the significance will be entirely different.

It should be noted that the Northern River Emperor was still their nominal ruler.

This behavior can be described as rebellion, a blatant provocation against the Great Emperor of Beihe.

As for the conflict, all you need to do is have your subordinates quell it.

However, for rebellions, the Great Emperor of Beihe would need to personally lead an expedition to quell them.

"It seems this defeat has given the Blood Axe Lord unrealistic ideas," the Corpse Monarch thought to himself. "Is it because of that Chaos City Lord?"

Thinking of this, the Corpse Monarch was immediately filled with worry.

He had originally planned to work with the Lord of Blood Axe to lead the team to wipe out the Blood Soul World again, but instead hold back and delay, in order to exchange for prisoners.

However, if this happens, Emperor Beihe will definitely choose to strike hard and will not give the Blood Soul World any more chances.

At that time, his men will be in danger.
