Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 793

However, Lu Yunhe's skill level was higher, allowing him to avoid fatal damage as much as possible and even reduce the enemy's attacks through various techniques.

Meanwhile, the Northern River Emperor, on the other side, possessed immense strength and astonishing vitality. In many instances, he even ignored Lu Yunhe's attacks, directly enduring them with his own body.

"Having a strong foundation is impressive!"

Looking at the supreme treasure in his hand, Lu Yunhe saw that even when he struck the Northern River Emperor, it only left some bloodstains, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This injury is basically something that can be treated with scraping, but fortunately, it can still be scraped.

"When facing cultivators, one must use force to overwhelm them!" Emperor Beihe thought to himself.

His greatest advantage over cultivators is his superior raw strength.

To defeat a cultivator as quickly as possible, you need to bring them into a rhythm that best suits you.

The two sides fought from one end of the world to the other, from the sky to the ground, from lakes to lava, exchanging blows countless times and employing a variety of tactics.

Lu Yunhe tried every possible means and used various methods, pushing his soul attack to its limit, all in order to cause more trouble for Emperor Beihe and create openings in his attacks.

However, the Northern River Emperor's response was to sever all these petty thoughts one by one with his sword.

There are no fancy techniques, it's all about hard skills.

Trying to outsmart cultivators with their skills is far too difficult for the people of the Broken Tooth Mountains.

"We must defeat the Lord of Chaos City!" Emperor Beihe thought through gritted teeth.

Whether for the sake of his future actions or his own position in the Broken Tooth Mountains, he had to establish his absolute authority.

Therefore, the Lord of Chaos City must lose; even a draw is not acceptable.

Otherwise, his previous pronouncements about the plan would be empty words, and what would his generals think of him? How could he then lead his men to conquer other worlds?

Emperor Beihe was quite confident in his ability to win.

Although the Lord of Chaos City put up a fierce resistance, he still held the overall advantage, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

There's no way around it; cultivators are just too good at struggling, and the slightest flaw can be seized upon by their opponents.

If the opponent were an emperor of equal strength, Beihe felt he would have won long ago.

However, the Lord of Chaos City was still able to persist and even launch counterattacks from time to time, affecting him and preventing him from achieving a complete victory.

Moreover, the Chaos City Lord's soul attacks were constantly restraining his mental strength.

While preventing him from unleashing his full potential, it also significantly depleted his mental and physical strength.

After all, it is a soul attack that can directly affect a royal-level being. The output power required to resist it is one thing, but the consumption is another.

"Fortunately, it only affected my strength by less than 10%," Emperor Beihe said thankfully.

If the Chaos City Lord's soul attack were any stronger, reducing his strength and making it impossible to completely suppress him, it would be a disaster.

Once he was on the same level of strength as a cultivator, the Great Emperor of the Northern River was not confident of winning.

The Great Emperor of Beihe was fighting with all his might to win, and the situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

If destroying a world would allow him to defeat the Lord of Chaos, it wouldn't matter to the Great Emperor of the Northern River.

During the period when the Northern River Emperor rose to power, many clans suffered deaths, injuries, or even extinction.

While the indigenous people were not as ruthless as the Deathbringers, they were not much better, and most of their emotions were directed towards their own tribe rather than other tribes.

"We have to make them stop!" The Blood Axe Lord was extremely anxious.

They have already begun dispatching their generals to rescue people all over the world.

Moreover, they can only save people, and they don't even dare to do disaster relief, for fear of being implicated.

Even world monarchs like them dared not get involved, as they couldn't withstand the aftershocks, let alone their subordinates.

"Blood Axe, don't worry, the Alliance Leader has also noticed this problem and is trying his best to guide Beihe into the void." The many world monarchs quickly comforted him.

It's just that it's better for a fellow Daoist to die than for me, and it's not their world that's hurt, so the words of comfort they offered were all very perfunctory.

"Alliance Leader!"

The Lord of Blood Axe was filled with grief. Although this was not the worst outcome, it was not the best hope either. He could only pray that the two people fighting would stop immediately.

"This time, we must determine a winner." The Great Emperor of Beihe's competitive spirit was also fully aroused.

He felt he couldn't get over this hurdle without defeating the Lord of Chaos City.

Most importantly, the Northern River Emperor has seen a glimmer of hope for victory.

Indeed, Lu Yunhe's energy was being depleted more and more during his fierce battle with Emperor Beihe.

It's important to understand that he wasn't just engaging in a tug-of-war, but fighting head-on, directly withstanding the Northern River Emperor's attacks, which was extremely taxing on him.

Every time he faced the Northern River Emperor's attack, he had to fight with all his might to defend himself, and most of the time he couldn't even withstand it, and he was seriously injured.

Therefore, the longer the battle dragged on, the more Lu Yunhe adapted to it, but the less he could withstand it.

However, since it was only an avatar present, Lu Yunhe didn't care.

"Defeat me!"

The Great Emperor of the Northern River also discovered the problem: how could a cultivator possibly compete with those who possessed the Hunyuan bloodline in terms of attrition?

"combine!"

In an instant, the Heavenly River Sword in the hands of the Northern River Emperor merged into one.

"go with!"

A gigantic celestial sword cleaved through the sky, slashing down at Lu Yunhe below.

The overwhelming aura locked onto almost all of Lu Yunhe's escape routes.

However, Lu Yunhe had no intention of dodging. If he had only wanted to retreat, this battle would never have started.

They couldn't defeat him in a direct confrontation, and if he wanted to escape, the Northern River Emperor was completely powerless to stop him, even if he brought his subordinates with him.

The supreme treasure and the primordial divine weapon intertwined, a sword and a staff, wielding the power of supreme rules and the primordial energy, directly thrusting upwards from below.

"break!"

A giant sword descended from the sky, and a chaotic beam of light rose from below; the two attacks nearly split the entire world in two.

“Stop!”

However, at that moment, a palm radiating flames suddenly pierced through the air in the battle between the two, and to everyone's astonishment, it forcefully withstood two attacks. The raging flames even ignited the Heavenly River Sword and the Chaos Radiance.

"Supreme Haogu!"

……

Chapter 726 Mediation

"Stop it!"

A figure radiating heat appeared in mid-air, resembling a giant star, so powerful that even those with weaker abilities could not look directly at it.

"Supreme Haogu!"

The Great Emperor of the Northern River looked at the figure that appeared in front of him, and his expression immediately became solemn.

The Supreme One is the true pinnacle of the Broken Tooth Mountains, a powerful being at the peak of the Emperor level.

Just one step away from completing the final leap and completely transcending the prison of the source world.

The entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range is nominally ruled by five supreme beings. Even the Northern River Emperor is only a subordinate of one of them, namely the current Supreme Being Haogu.

Of course, this was only in name. In reality, the Northern River Emperor was not directly ruled and was even thinking of rebelling against the Supreme Being.

One of his purposes in forming the divine generals was to fight against these supreme beings.

The Supreme Beings are not only prestigious in name; they also control many of the most precious resources in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

These resources are also useful to those at the Emperor level, and some even contain the power to lead to ultimate awakening, which the Great Emperor of Beihe coveted.

After all, the resources he currently possesses are completely meaningless to him, so he is also yearning for more precious resources.

"A supreme being at the peak of the Emperor level!"

Lu Yunhe squinted, quietly observing the figure emanating a grand aura in front of him.

Reaching the pinnacle of the Emperor level, also known as the pinnacle of the God Emperor realm, signifies reaching the limit of the God Emperor realm.

Although he is only one minor realm below the Great Emperor, the two are completely incomparable.

His and the Northern River Emperor's all-out attack was easily blocked by the Supreme Haogu, who remained completely unharmed.

The difference was so stark that Lu Yunhe wanted to curse. The distinction between "late stage" and "perfect ending" was far too crude.

It feels like each minor realm can be further divided into early, late, and peak realms.

Of course, on the surface the difference in strength seems huge, but in terms of the cultivators' levels of cultivation, it's actually not that big.

These indigenous peoples and the undead race automatically descend one level in front of cultivators.

A cultivator at the early stage of the Emperor level is comparable to a native at the middle stage of the Emperor level, and even at the late stage of the Emperor level, they have a certain ability to protect themselves.

It is only when one encounters a peak Emperor-level being that one is completely powerless to resist.

From the perspective of a cultivator, this truly represents a great realm.

But this is not the case for the indigenous people.

Because cultivators have a higher level of cultivation, meaning they far surpass these natives in at least one aspect, they are able to challenge those of higher levels and even try to survive when facing opponents two levels higher.

But for these indigenous people, being at a higher level means being completely superior, leaving them with almost no power to resist.

There's no such thing as the weak defeating the strong; it's all about the strong defeating the weak.

Therefore, among the indigenous people themselves, even a small difference in social standing is like heaven and earth.

Unlike cultivators, both the invincible Cosmic God and the early Emperor level are considered invincible beings on the continent, and there is no difference in their status.

The progenitor of the polar night dared to confront the Xia Emperor head-on without backing down, a feat almost unimaginable in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The Great Emperor of the Northern River put away his weapon and bowed gently to the Supreme Being of the Ancient World.
