Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Northern River World!

Lu Yunhe returned with the Northern River Emperor. The divine generals who remained behind sensed the fluctuations in the space and hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Go, prepare some fine wine for me. I want to throw a grand banquet to celebrate this safe return and also to present a gift of thanks to the city lord," Emperor Beihe said with a wave of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the ten divine generals that he had placed inside the treasure of the cave were also released.

"Yes, Emperor!"

The many divine generals respectfully replied, and then departed to begin preparations.

"Come, City Lord, please have a seat. I will bring out the treasure that contains the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl. Please wait a moment." Emperor Beihe led Lu Yunhe back to the palace.

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."

Lu Yunhe smiled, his mind also absorbed in comprehending the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl.

One of his clones entered the Time Palace to accelerate the digestion of his many insights.

After the Northern River Emperor left, some servants were arranged in the palace, and even ordinary emperors accompanied him.

Even the most renowned emperors could only sit at the very end of the banquet hosted by the Great Emperor of the Northern River, and some didn't even have the right to sit at the head of the table.

"Lord of the city, it is said that you and the Emperor went to Shifa Island."

Seeing that Lu Yunhe looked very familiar, someone in the room couldn't help but ask a question.

“That’s right, he even fought against the Supreme Master Shifa!” Lu Yunhe looked at everyone present with a hint of pity.

"To fight against the Supreme One!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in surprise. In their eyes, even the Great Emperor was already unattainable, let alone the true ruler of the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

Those present will likely never see the Supreme Being again in their lifetime.

"The city lord is mighty!"

"The Emperor is invincible!"

The scene immediately became lively, with the sounds of clinking glasses filling the air. Seeing that the Lord of Chaos City was so easy to talk to, the people present immediately felt a sense of shared honor and disgrace, and asked increasingly bold questions.

"How did the fight go?"

"Who is stronger, the city lord or the emperor?"

……

Just as the banquet hall was bustling with activity, Lu Yunhe, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly gripped the Immortal Slaughtering Heaven Sword at his waist.

Dang Dang Dang!

A heavy bell rang out, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding void. The world's rules became disordered, and the various primordial paths became chaotic.

The indigenous people present also noticed the change in the rules, and they all showed expressions of fear.

The next moment, a dazzling torrent of energy swept directly into the hall, enveloping everyone present.

"No!"

"Emperor!"

"Beihe, you..."

The natives present knew exactly what had happened. They realized they had been used as bait and had become victims in the struggle between the Emperor and the City Lord. They all began to curse wildly.

The once majestic Emperor of Beihe was reduced to a clown in front of a dying man.

Some people tried to rush out, but they were too slow. By the time they reacted, a terrifying torrent of energy had already swept through the entire hall.

The mighty torrent of energy was released in an instant, like a supernova explosion, and then collapsed into a single point in an instant, like a black hole.

In an instant, the exquisite hall evaporated, turning into the most basic energy ions. Everyone present, even those at the Emperor level, couldn't even withstand a single breath and were completely absorbed into the primordial energy.

This strike, in terms of power, had reached a level comparable to that of a supreme being.

"How is the situation? I wonder if the Lord of Chaos City has been seriously injured?"

Outside the palace, the Northern River Emperor, along with twenty-four divine generals, completely surrounded Lu Yunhe's location, leaving no stone unturned.

After tricking the Lord of Chaos City back, the Great Emperor of the Northern River made up his mind to leave his clone here and seize the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl.

From the very beginning, the Northern River Emperor had no intention of trading with him, because he simply could not offer any treasures of equal value.

No one is willing to trade such a heaven-defying treasure as the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl; the only way to obtain it is through this desperate measure.

Once the robbery was complete, the Northern River Emperor was determined to hide in the Serpent Fang Corridor, so that no matter how angry the Chaos City Lord was, he would not be able to chase after him.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if there are sacrifices, as everything is for one's own future.

If anyone is to blame, it's the Lord of Chaos City. Why did he have such a profound stroke of luck, so easily obtaining such a precious treasure?

On the way back to the Northern River World, the Northern River Emperor had already discussed and formulated a plan with his generals, waiting only to capture the Chaos City Lord's clone.

First, there was his treasured artifact, capable of disrupting the origin of the void world and preventing the Chaos City Lord from escaping; then there was the combined attack of everyone.

One Great Emperor plus twenty-four mid-stage Emperor-level Divine Generals are fully capable of contending with a Supreme Being, and can also besiege and kill any late-stage Emperor-level being.

"continue!"

Seeing the explosions rising ahead, Emperor Beihe continued to give orders.

"Yes!"

The twenty-four divine generals echoed the Dao, forming a great formation that could gather as much power as possible.

Although he lost some men, he succeeded in one strike, and now he naturally cannot let this opportunity slip by.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

The terrifying energy gathered once more, causing the entire void to tremble violently.

However, at that moment, an invisible, illusory wave instantly spread out, enveloping everyone present.

"Sinking!"

"Kill!"

"destroy!"

……

It was as if a more real and higher-level world was tempting everyone's souls.

In an instant, the attack that had gathered the power of everyone dissipated, and its energy level plummeted.

Each of the elite generals also showed pain on their faces, struggling to maintain their attacks.

However, judging from that shaky body, the strength it can exert is probably limited.

Even the Great Emperor of the Northern River was affected, but thanks to his own soul and will, only his strength was suppressed.

"retreat!"

The Great Emperor of the Northern River had anticipated this and immediately ordered his divine generals to move a distance away.

This distance, while still within the range of the soul attack, was enough for them to regroup and avoid being easily defeated.

As for the Great Emperor of the Northern River, he naturally stood at the forefront, facing the Lord of Chaos City directly.

"Beihe, is this your gift to me? It's quite a surprise."

A soft laugh rang out, followed by a fierce sword aura tearing through the energy, revealing Lu Yunhe in the midst of his attack.

At this moment, Lu Yunhe held the Five Mountains Spirit Suppressing Blade in his right hand and the Immortal Slaughtering Heaven-Slaying Sword in his left, with a Black Emperor Tide Banner on his back. He exuded an incomparably mysterious aura, and the power of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos surged forth.

During the attack, Lu Yunhe only got a slight stain on the hem of his clothes.

Seeing this, the Great Emperor of Beihe felt a sense of foreboding.

Unexpectedly, during the battle with the Supreme Being, the Lord of Chaos City had been hiding something, and it was unclear whether he was simply concealing his strength or had vaguely sensed something.

Most importantly, the combined attack just now didn't cause any real damage to the Hybrid City Lord.

It seems that the Chaos City Lord is stronger than he imagined.

Destroying this clone here will not be an easy task.

However, the Great Emperor of Beihe was prepared for a protracted war and to fight to the death. Even if his generals were wiped out, it wouldn't matter. A single Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl was worth the price.

"Heh, in the end, I underestimated the city lord. He was hiding so well, was it to guard against me?" Emperor Beihe smiled insincerely.

“No, Emperor Beihe, you deserve better.” Lu Yunhe shook his head.

The Great Emperor of the Northern River wanted the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl in his hand, but he also wanted the other's life.

“If the Emperor is willing to tell me the location of the Fire Emperor, I am not unwilling to trade the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl with you,” Lu Yunhe said.

"Fire King!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of Beihe also showed an incredulous expression.

"Lord of Chaos City, is a mere Chaos Origin life form really that important to you? You're even willing to trade it for the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl."

The Northern River Emperor was puzzled. Could it be that the Hunyuan life form still possessed abilities that he hadn't yet discovered? And their value was so high.

“In that case, it’s even less likely that I’ll tell you the location of the Fire Emperor,” Emperor Beihe said firmly.

"Hehe, City Lord, if I die, you will never be able to find the Fire Emperor's location again," said Emperor Beihe.

In this situation, he would bet on anything that could increase his chances of winning.

If he misses this opportunity, it will probably be a long and desperate time before he can get the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl again. He absolutely has to seize this chance.

"Really!"

Lu Yunhe's expression flickered, a wisp of thought stirring the power of fate.

"Start! Set up the Twenty-Four Constellations Formation!"

Emperor Beihe roared, and the twenty-four divine generals in the distance responded immediately.

The power of his bloodline essence surged from his body, converging into a strange beast with twenty-four heads, a hundred legs, and ten wings.

The beast roared, and the energy it exuded was terrifying, surpassing the level of a mid-stage Emperor.

Under the influence of the Chaos City Lord's soul, the power that many divine generals could unleash was also limited.

If you get involved directly, you'll only be slaughtered by the Chaos City Lord.
