Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 832

"Lord of the City, the Emperor has been waiting for you for quite some time," said General Fengyan respectfully, though a hint of worry lingered in his heart.

Although the Lord of Chaos City appears to have no authority on the surface, his deeds alone are enough to terrify the divine generals.

The number of Great Emperor-level beings who died at the hands of the Chaos City Lord has probably exceeded four, two of whom were killed entirely by the Lord's own strength.

Judging solely from this record, it's probably even better than the Supreme Beings, since Supreme Beings generally don't go looking for trouble with Emperors.

Even if the Wind and Smoke God General didn't want to admit it, the Chaos City Lord's strength probably surpassed that of the Northern River Emperor she served.

"Lead the way!" Lu Yunhe waved his hand, his tone indifferent, as if nothing could arouse his emotions.

"Yes!"

Despite this, it still put immense pressure on the Wind and Smoke God General, who quickly lowered his head and led the way.

In a sudden shift in time and space, the Wind and Smoke God brought Lu Yunhe to a magnificent palace.

Inside the main hall, the Great Emperor of the Northern River had been waiting for a long time and sat in the main seat, with an empty seat left at the same level as him.

As for the divine generals, including the Wind and Smoke Divine General beside them, they were all present at this moment, a total of twenty-four.

Because of the Free Alliance, although the number of Emperor-level beings under the Northern River Emperor has increased, the number of God-level beings has not been replenished for a long time.

For the royal-level beings who are gradually being drawn in, since both sides are in the midst of war, it is natural to join a force that offers slightly better treatment.

As an indigenous person, the Northern River Emperor was naturally closer to the world's monarchs.

However, the Free Alliance is a loose alliance without any coercive power, which makes it more attractive to world monarchs who are unwilling to be oppressed.

Those world rulers with power comparable to gods prefer to remain neutral between the two and not get involved.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the lineup present and took a step to sit in the empty seat.

A show of force? Or a trap? For powerful cultivators who also possess clones, neither is a problem.

The ability to create clones does indeed disrupt the balance to some extent.

However, the Northern River forces and the Free Alliance are still at war, yet the Northern River Emperor has summoned all the divine generals, which is quite significant.

"Meet the Emperor!"

"Meet the City Lord!"

……

After Lu Yunhe took his seat, all the divine generals bowed in greeting.

"I wonder why the Emperor has summoned us all here?"

"Could it be to settle old scores with the Lord of Chaos City?"

"Or are we preparing for something big?"

The gods had different thoughts and were all secretly plotting in their hearts, and the Emperor did not tell them the reason this time.

Facing the renowned Lord of Chaos City, the divine generals were all somewhat nervous.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Great Emperor of Beihe burst into laughter.

"It is an honor to have the Lord of Chaos City here today. Please forgive the previous conflict."

Then the Great Emperor of Beihe clapped his hands lightly, and immediately a group of beautiful maids served various fine wines and delicacies, which were placed in front of him.

In the center of some of the fruits, there was a plate with a blue-purple petal on it. The petal was about the size of a palm, fleshy, and smelled fragrant, making one's mouth water for no reason. Every particle in one's body seemed to be shouting, wanting to eat the petal.

"This is a specialty of my Northern River World, the Magpie Flower. Please, City Lord, have a taste."

"please!"

Emperor Beihe laughed, as if the two of them had been very good friends before.

"Magpie Flower!"

Looking at the purple-blue petals on the tray, Lu Yunhe didn't stand on ceremony and picked them up to take.

Magpie Flower, a legendary item from the Broken Tooth Mountains, is incredibly precious and even effective against Emperor-level beings.

In terms of value, it is far greater than experiencing the Seven Bell Tower several times, and it also has miraculous effects on both the natives and the Deathbringers, making it a treasure specifically for bloodlines.

Such powerful treasures can only be possessed by the Great Emperor, just like the Seven Bell Tower.

After acquiring this treasure, Emperor Beihe specially hosted the "Magpie Flower Banquet," a grand feast that ranked among the best in the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

In addition, the 'Magpie Flower' was a very important factor in the fact that the Great Emperor of the Northern River was able to command so many divine generals.

Only by firmly grasping both strength and interests can one truly build a complete power base.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

The gods looked at the magpie flower petals on their tables and smiled.

Although they consumed many flower petals, it did not diminish their precious protective value.

"tasty!"

Lu Yunhe swallowed the flower petals. Although they were flower petals, they gave people the feeling of eating meat, and they were very tender.

After taking it, an invisible force permeated the body, nourishing the physical body and causing subtle changes and improvements.

"It can even improve my physical body. It seems that my understanding of the divine body is not so perfect after all," Lu Yunhe said in surprise.

It should be noted that Lu Yunhe's physical body is comparable to that of an emperor, and at this level, every bit of progress requires a considerable price.

Most importantly, he possesses the physical body of a cultivator, not one derived from bloodline power; his entire body was constructed entirely by himself, bit by bit.

The fact that it can still be improved under these circumstances is indeed quite valuable.

For indigenous people and members of the Dead Abomination Clan, using the Magpie Flower to stimulate their bloodline power and then using that power to enhance their physical body is actually more effective.

However, that's about it; it doesn't really have much practical significance.

"I'm glad the city lord is satisfied!" Emperor Beihe laughed, then raised his cup to everyone: "Gentlemen, let us all raise our cups and drink together!"

This banquet was of an extremely high level, with all sorts of rare delicacies, no less than a magpie flower banquet, more than enough to entertain even a great emperor.

After the banquet ended, only Lu Yunhe and Emperor Beihe remained. The two faced each other, and the atmosphere suddenly turned from jubilant to cold and stern.

"Beihe, tell me, what conditions do you need for me to reveal the whereabouts of the Fire Emperor?" Lu Yunhe was too lazy to argue and spoke directly.

"The city lord is indeed straightforward, then I'll get straight to the point." Emperor Beihe was not surprised.

The fact that the Lord of Chaos City was able to come directly to us shows that he had already investigated the situation and had no reason to hide anything.

"This Magpie Flower Banquet is my apology to the City Lord," Emperor Beihe said. "If the City Lord is willing to help me this once, I will also offer you the location of the Fire Emperor with both hands."

"Since the city lord can help that Wufeng Emperor, he should be able to help me this time as well."

The Northern River Emperor's eyes shone brightly, but he was also somewhat unsure of how important the Fire Emperor was to the Chaos City Lord.

If the power level isn't high enough, he can hand over the Fire Emperor and even join forces with the Chaos City Lord to deal with the Fire Emperor, thus wiping the slate clean of past events.

If it's high enough, then there's even more room for maneuver.

"Fire King!"

Lu Yunhe narrowed his eyes, trying to control him by threatening not to cause him any trouble. It seemed that this Emperor Beihe could not be allowed to live.

If it weren't for the Northern River Emperor, he could have easily found the Fire Emperor, killed him, and forged the Five Elements Chaos Divine Weapon.

Now that the Great Emperor of Beihe is actively causing him trouble, does he expect him to acknowledge the other party's goodwill?

Seeing the Chaos City Lord deep in thought, the Northern River Emperor also had a bias in his heart: "City Lord, with the strength of the Chaos Origin Lifeform, once it hides, it will probably be very difficult to find it."

Emperor Beihe understood that once these words were spoken, he and the Lord of Chaos City would likely be forever at odds and could never be reconciled.

However, as long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care about relationships, let alone keeping his word.

Upon hearing Emperor Beihe's words, Lu Yunhe immediately smiled: "You're asking me for help, which supreme being are you planning to deal with?"

Only the five supreme beings could bring together two top emperors.

"It seems the city lord has agreed!" Emperor Beihe immediately straightened up, his face showing some joy, but inwardly he was secretly surprised: "Could this Great Sage Hunyuan have some other use for the Chaos City Lord?"

He had also heard that the Lord of Chaos City could use the Primordial Life Force to refine supreme treasures, but no matter how many of these divine weapons he forged, it wouldn't be of much significance and would be of no use to them.

"Or is it that the Hunyuan life forms have some function that I am unaware of?"

Emperor Beihe pondered in his heart, but still couldn't guess the essence, after all, not everyone can rely on a source world.

"Supreme Lord Savartin!"

Emperor Beihe quickly replied, "Supreme Shifa possesses something I have always desired, but with my own strength alone, I am no match for the Supreme."

"Lord of the city, if the two of us join forces, we will be able to rival the Supreme Being and make it give in."

"As long as the city lord is willing to take action, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will hand over the position of Fire Emperor to you," the Northern River Emperor said with piercing eyes.

Although the process was not pleasant, as long as he could get the Lord of Chaos City to take action at the cost of the Fire Emperor, he would not lose out no matter the outcome.

"It really is it!" Lu Yunhe's expression remained unchanged.

Shifa Supreme, one of the three supreme beings of the Death Fiend Clan, has a relatively good personality compared to the other two supreme beings.

However, they are all essentially the same—cruel and tyrannical, absolute demons. Perhaps because they were born from death, the Supreme Being of the Shakya clan felt that killing other lives and sending them to death was a kind of 'gift'.

Therefore, the Supreme Being of Sakra (Sakra) delights in bestowing gifts. When he descends upon an inhabited world, he even performs a ritual before bestowing the gift. Then, with a single gift, he causes all living beings in that world to be reduced to 'death,' which is therefore a blessing.

Of course, for the countless indigenous people he destroyed, would they feel that death was a blessing?

If death is a blessing, why doesn't the Supreme Being Savartin himself die? It's clear he's still someone who's deceiving himself.

However, as a member of the Deathly Fiend Clan, the Supreme Shifa also possesses many extremely precious treasures, which even the Great Emperors would covet, and even fellow Supremes would be envious of.

Not only the Northern River Emperor, but even Lu Yunhe set his sights on these three supreme beings of the Deathly Fiend Clan.

However, he didn't plan to cause trouble for these supreme beings right now, but rather waited until he had enough strength.

However, since the Great Emperor of Beihe had extended a "sincere" invitation, Lu Yunhe naturally could not refuse.

"it is good!"

Lu Yunhe chuckled, hoping that the Great Emperor of Beihe would not regret his decision.

Seeing that Lu Yunhe agreed, Emperor Beihe's face also showed joy: "I went to Shifa Island before, but I couldn't even see the Supreme One before I was beaten out. This time, I am more confident that I can invite the City Lord."

"Lord of the City, when can we depart?" Emperor Beihe asked impatiently.
