Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"Emperor."

The king of the Deathbringer clan bowed respectfully and addressed the sleeping emperor.

Rumble…

Lu Yunhe and the others, who were fighting outside the clan's territory, instantly sensed a terrifying aura erupting from afar.

The aura was so terrifying and vast that it even condensed into a tangible black mist representing the aura of death, pressing down like dark clouds and making it difficult to breathe.

"Blood Soul Clan, and cultivators, what do you take my floating island for?"

A deep voice rang out, tinged with anger, as if the speaker was a bit grumpy upon waking up.

"Emperor!"

The elders of the Deathbringer Clan sensed this power and instantly stopped their attack, looking at the distance with respect and worship.

In the Death Clan, bloodline is paramount, and the manifestation of bloodline is power.

"Lord, something's wrong! The Emperor of the Dead Demon Clan has awakened!" General Blood Flame, who had unleashed his power using a treasure, immediately sensed something was amiss. His awakening was far too rapid.

We should at least wait until they take action and we can't stop them anymore before we talk about it.

If the elders of the Deathbringer Clan did this every time, they would never even consider taking the Soul Spirit Fruit.

"How to do?"

General Bloodflame was somewhat flustered. At this distance, he could still escape, but his companions who had ventured deep into the territory of the Deathbringer Clan were in danger.

Many people have come to this operation, and if they are all killed, it will be a huge loss for the entire Blood Soul Clan.

As for the Chaos City Lord standing to the side, General Bloodflame didn't care, because the other party had already said that what came here was just an avatar, and even if it was lost, it would only be the loss of some treasures, but they only had one life.

"Wait to die!"

The nine elders subtly surrounded Lu Yunhe and his companions, not wanting them to escape, and awaited the arrival of the "Emperor".

However, they didn't do a very good job this time, and they'll probably get a scolding from the "Emperor" afterward.

But compared to dereliction of duty, they were even more unwilling to let these Blood Soul Clan members succeed.

call out!

Just then, a staff-like aura imbued with the power of primordial chaos swept directly into the territory of the Death Fiend Clan, its target the overwhelming black clouds.

Both the Death Fiend Clan and the Blood Soul Clan were stunned by this scene.

Faced with such terrifying power as the "Emperor," not only did they not think of retreating, but they even dared to provoke him, which was simply challenging their understanding.

Lu Yunhe's attack was not very harmful, but it was full of provocation.

"A practitioner..."

A distinctly angry voice rang out, and then the dark clouds in the distance instantly condensed into a pitch-black giant with six eyes and two arms.

As it coalesced, the pitch-black giant moved closer, its overwhelming aura emanating from it – it was none other than the "Emperor" of the Deathbringer Clan.

Originally, the "Emperor" of the Deathly Fiend Clan intended to slap those who had trespassed into the clan's territory to death, but after being provoked by Lu Yunhe, he abandoned the intruders and prepared to deal with the provocateur first.

After all, in the eyes of the "Emperor" of the Death Fiend Clan, those intruders were nothing more than flies, not worth his attention at all, and this provocation was an insult to him.

The emperor is not to be insulted; even the less civilized Dead Demon Clan holds this concept.

"Heh, an invincible existence on the Realm Heart Continent?" The "Emperor" of the Death Fiend Clan sneered.

Did he think that just because he was praised in the Realm Heart Continent, he could be invincible in the Broken Tooth Mountains? What a pitiful weakling. If he weren't a level higher, he wouldn't even be as good as his elder.

Let me teach you a lesson!

The pitch-black giant's two enormous hands swung at a mysterious angle, subtly conveying a sense of profound mystery.

These undead race members may not be high in cultivation level, but that doesn't mean they lack profound talent.

The fact that they possess such strength already demonstrates their innate talent.

"Well done!"

Lu Yunhe faced the "Emperor" of the Deathly Fiend Clan directly, and his eyes immediately flashed with excitement.

There are only a handful of invincible beings on the Realm Heart Continent. Except in special circumstances, most people don't have a strong desire to attack, so Lu Yunhe wasn't very interested in their combat abilities.

But the Broken Tooth Mountains are different; every floating island there has at least one "Emperor" level being.

Moreover, they readily cooperate and fight him whenever he provokes them, just like the current "Emperor".

As for the nine elders, they stepped back a few paces after the emperor himself appeared and did not participate.

Of course, these elders had also shed their ignorance and were quite wise.

Therefore, the four elders left the emperor's side and returned to their clan's territory to suppress the riot.

The other five elders remained in place, subtly surrounding the battlefield.

boom!

The attack from the Emperor of the Deathly Fiend Clan seemed to cause the entire world to collapse.

In the center of the collapsing world, Lu Yunhe's figure still stood, holding a black stick.

"change!"

Lu Yunhe naturally wouldn't choose to use their own weapon against them. Under the control of the Ruyi Staff, the power of Hunyuan was almost overflowing like a tidal wave.

The surging primordial energy, like waves, continuously pounded against the black giant's fist, eroding the intensity of its attack.

Then the Ruyi Cudgel emerged from the seawater, rising from below like a reef to support the fist of the pitch-black giant.

In an instant, Lu Yunhe felt an irresistible force emanating from the divine weapon, which made his hands go numb and even caused the Ruyi Staff to bend noticeably.

boom!

The sheer force transmitted was enough to make Lu Yunhe's skin go numb, forcing him to retreat.

The gap in their core strengths is enormous, at least two levels.

The "Emperor" of the Deathly Clan on this floating island is definitely not a beginner.

"Just as rumored, the cultivators of your Realm Heart Continent are lacking in strength but full of skill." The Death Fiend Clan Emperor sneered.

Although he was furious at the cultivator's provocation, after a fight, the other party proved his strength and gained the emperor's approval.

If one only possesses the invincible strength of a cosmic god, one will be looked down upon; but if one can reach the threshold of becoming an emperor, one will gain a certain status.

Of course, that's all; the Death Demon Clan Emperor still had no intention of letting the other party go.

"Struggle in your death throes!"

Having failed with his first attack, the Emperor of the Dead Demon Clan fueled his rage once more and launched another attack.

"Die? You can talk about it after you've demonstrated your ability!"

Lu Yunhe laughed wildly, pushing the half-primordial divine weapon in his hand to its limit, almost completely combining the void path and the power of primordial chaos.

However, all his attacks and defenses were futile in the face of absolute power.

Although a cultivator's techniques are incredibly profound, one must still exert enough force to overcome ten techniques, and even the greatest force requires only a small amount of strength to deflect a great force.

Faced with the attack of the Deathly Fiend Clan Emperor, Lu Yunhe was like a small boat adrift in a raging storm, clinging tightly to the mast and refusing to give up.

Tear!

Lu Yunhe tried his best to resist the black giant's attack, setting up an almost infinite void barrier, but it was all shattered by a single punch.

If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, his entire body would have been smashed apart by the punch. Even just a gust of wind from the punch was enough to tear his skin and flesh.

Even more critically, Lu Yunhe realized that his attack was insufficient, far from sufficient.

The life forms in the Broken Tooth Mountains are primarily based on bloodlines, resulting in their ridiculously strong physical bodies; one could even say that most of their strength lies in their physical attributes.

This means that when the Emperor of the Death Fiend Clan stands there, no one below the Emperor level can break through his defenses; that's how terrifying he is.

Lu Yunhe, with his advantage in cultivation level, broke through this gap, but the attack he inflicted was no different from a mosquito bite.

clap clap clap!

The black giant slapped down repeatedly, his attacks straightforward and concise, demonstrating his full power.

Aside from his innate abilities, he really doesn't have any redeeming qualities in terms of attack.

Judging from the power exerted in the primordial universe, these abominations all exerted power a hundred times greater than normal, and the amplification was basically due to the enhancement of their talents or bloodlines.

The cultivators, on the other hand, have only comprehended a set of amplification techniques that belong to them, and they can basically still have a hundredfold amplification at the same level.

The difference in strength between the two lies here, in the area where comprehension and soul are tested.

"Humph!"

The Death Demon Clan Emperor also felt that the cultivator in front of him was indeed as annoying as a fly. If they were to fight head-on, he could kill the other party in less than two slaps.

But his opponent deliberately avoided direct combat, instead engaging in a roundabout battle, which annoyed him greatly and made it difficult for him to gain the upper hand.

Lu Yunhe has truly demonstrated the invincible existence of cultivators.

Both being invincible cosmic gods, the cultivators are able to directly confront an early-stage emperor, and can even engage in a prolonged battle based on their cultivation level.

Even when facing a mid-stage Emperor-level opponent, they still have a certain ability to escape and will not be completely powerless to resist.

"This should be the strength of a mid-stage Emperor level!" Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Although he was completely suppressed by the Emperor of the Death Fiend Clan and was in danger of being destroyed at any moment, he was not flustered at all.

The emperor on the other side also guessed why the cultivators were not flustered. He glanced at the bustling clan territory and understood that those who came here were probably all clones.

This is truly unsolvable. It's a clone, and one whose strength is close to that of an Emperor-level being. Let alone his clone, even if the Great Emperor or even the Supreme Being deep within the Broken Tooth Mountains were to take action, they might not be able to completely resolve the situation.

What the beings of the Broken Mountain Range envy most is not the cultivator's realm, but the clone.

Having gained more than one extra life is simply too incredible for the emperor.

However, the treasures in the hands of cultivators are also extraordinary, and leaving this clone here is enough to make him feel bad for a while.

Thinking of this, the Death Demon Clan Emperor's attacks became even more ferocious, not wanting to give this cultivator any chance.

"City Lord, let's retreat. We are no match for them," General Bloodflame transmitted his voice.

“Blood Flame, even the emperor of the Death Fiend Clan has come out, which means their clan territory has been completely lost. Isn’t this our opportunity?” Lu Yunhe replied.

"As for their emperor, leave him to me. I will not let him go back."
