Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 1099

"If the Ice Peak faction decides to wage war against the cultivator faction, I will not participate," said an immortal being.

While world clusters do have some use for immortal beings, their importance is somewhat diminished.

If it's just one or two world clusters, and they haven't even gained any advantage, then they're naturally unwilling to face off against the entire cultivator camp.

The Ice Peak faction only occupies a little over a hundred world clusters, which is just a small number on average, and a large portion of those are occupied by certain individuals. Naturally, they are not willing to risk their lives for it.

After all, even within the naturally formed chaotic life force, there were those who were unwilling to participate in the battle, such as the Giant God Emperor, who only agreed to take action at the last moment.

Sensing the atmosphere at the meeting, the three emperors of the Wind, Thunder and Sea were dumbfounded. They never expected these people to be so disrespectful and refuse in public. They should have at least tried to put up a fight.

The three emperors of the Wind, Thunder, and Sea were not stupid either. They took the lion's share of this invasion and wanted to hold the entire Ice Peak faction hostage.

They were merely using the name of their faction to confront the cultivators and force them to concede; they had no intention of actually launching a major war.

As long as we can maintain a consensus, even if it's just on the surface, it should be enough to deter the cultivators.

But to everyone's surprise, before the cultivators even made a move, the entire camp fell apart during this private meeting.

In this case, it is likely that the Ice Peak faction will have to retreat as long as the cultivators' camp exerts pressure.

The three emperors of the Wind, Thunder and Seas gained the most benefits from this invasion of the cultivators' territory, so they were very enthusiastic, but the result was beyond their expectations.

"What about the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain? Do we need to take action ourselves?" the Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea discussed privately.

In order to conquer these world clusters, the Three Sovereigns secretly colluded with some other forces.

They wanted to work together to put pressure on the cultivators, but the result was the same as what happened now.

Many of the forces that had previously occupied the area withdrew without hesitation, while others waited for the Ice Peak faction to take the lead.

However, the cultivators' camp was not stupid either. They first dealt with the weaker forces one by one to prevent them from joining forces.

However, if the Ice Peak faction is to take the lead and act as the leader, then...

If even our own people are like this, how could we possibly help other forces?

"We have no choice but to sell!" the Third Emperor sighed.

"Since we can't reach a conclusion, let's put it aside for now and see what the cultivator lord's attitude is," said the Ice Peak Ancestor.

No sooner had the words been spoken than nearly half of the twelve progenitors left.

……

"The Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea, you've all lied to me!"

The Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain was fighting with three lords and was being completely suppressed. When he tried to contact the Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder and Sea, there was no response. He immediately realized that he had been betrayed.

Boom...

Like a volcanic eruption, the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain suddenly burst forth with crimson lotus flames, attempting to drag the entire world into hell.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yunhe's clone's eyes lit up, and it continuously used the formation to steal the power fluctuations within.

"Is this going to be desperate?"

A thought flashed through Lu Yunhe's mind, and then the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain suddenly burst out, breaking free from Yuan's array control and flying towards the depths of the endless primordial space.

"They ran away..."

Lord Moman stopped in his tracks, looking at the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain who had directly merged into the Hunyuan Space. A powerful Hunyuan Ancestor was determined to run away, as the two lords alone could not catch up with him.

"The Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea, it really is them." Yuan didn't pursue them, but instead kept repeating the information that the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain had deliberately revealed.

Knowing he was outmatched and without reinforcements, the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain had no reason to continue holding out and decisively retreated.

Since he had been tricked by the Three Emperors, the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain naturally wanted to annoy them in return, so he directly revealed the information about their secret collusion.

"It seems they received secret instructions from the Ice Peak camp, which is why they were reluctant to retreat. It's just a pity that they were ultimately abandoned." Lord Moman said, watching Lian Yu's departing figure.

“It’s not the Ice Peak faction, but the Three Thieves of Wind and Thunder Sea,” Yuan said solemnly. The difference between the two is significant.

At the beginning, the cultivators' camp was actually considered a subordinate of the Ice Peak camp.

Yuan also spent some time with the Ice Peak faction and had a good relationship with many of its founders.

However, he was only a junior, not a subordinate. As the strength of the cultivator camp grew, the two drifted apart.

Because of this experience, Yuan also saw through the situation of the entire Ice Peak faction, which was even worse than the Natural Chaos Life faction.

Despite their strength, they were just a disorganized mess.

“It’s just a covert conspiracy. It seems that not all the progenitors in the Ice Peak camp want to oppose us,” Lu Yunhe said.

Otherwise, given the strength of the Ice Peak faction, they could simply offer their support openly and honestly.

"Among the Ice Peak faction, there are also many ancestors who have not yet taken action to occupy our territory." Yuan nodded.

Given the strength of the cultivator camp, they are naturally not afraid of the Ice Peak camp, but there is no need to offend everyone in it. It is best to defeat them one by one, since there are already enough enemies.

If they were truly mortal enemies with the innate Chaos Origin Lifeforms, and had attracted the entire Ice Peak Faction, the lords simply couldn't withstand it, not even one or two more.

"First deal with the other forces that have encroached on our territory, and then deal with the Ice Peak faction. Not a single inch of the territory belonging to the cultivator faction can be lost," Yuan Jian said firmly.

If the progenitors within the Ice Peak faction really want it, then let them fight a battle themselves.

"I also want to see the strength of the Ice Peak faction!" Lu Yunhe was eager to try, not afraid of making things worse.

"It's best to avoid that situation altogether," Yuan said helplessly.

After forcing the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain to leave, Lu Yunhe's clone departed, searching for traces of Mogus in the territory while browsing the endless primordial void and exploring its mysteries.

While marking the treasures that were useful to him, Lu Yunhe didn't forget the life core in his body. Things that were effective for naturally born chaotic life forms were also useful to him.

The Three Harmonies are at the source of the essence!

Lu Yunhe sat cross-legged inside, his figure smaller than before, and his breath weaker.

Even so, the three progenitors within the Three Harmonies Territory were still unable to do anything to him.

However, after the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain withdrew, the three ancestors also fell silent, and apart from occasionally peeking in, they had no intention of continuing to disturb him.

Unfortunately, surrounded by the rules, the three progenitors were unaware of Lu Yunhe's current state and the extent of his influence on the Three Kingdoms.

"Wind, thunder, and light—the three highest-level powers." Lu Yunhe looked at the Three Harmony Territory Origin that appeared before him. He had grasped a part of these powers, but he was still far from fully comprehending them.

However, during his comprehension, Lu Yunhe also understood the difference between the highest level of power and the highest level of Dao.

It's roughly equivalent to a move from the ultimate realm of the Origin Dao, but the difference between it and the ultimate realm of the Origin Dao is significant.

The former also reached the ultimate level, but did not fully comprehend the underlying principles.

As long as both sides are at the same level, the strength they can exert will naturally be no different. It's not surprising that someone who hasn't fully comprehended the ultimate path can still be as strong as someone at the ultimate realm.

As for the lords, once they have reached the ultimate realm of enlightenment, they are naturally not interested in other ultimate realm secret techniques of the same type, unless it is a different kind of Dao.

"Refining a mysterious place is indeed no easy feat!"

Lu Yunhe held up a miniature world that was exactly the same as the Sanheling in his hands.

However, the world in his hands seemed to lack something core, and it was difficult to integrate into the origin of the Three Kingdoms.

"I originally thought that with my understanding of the three powers of wind, thunder, and light, combined with the rules of the world's operation, I would be able to refine the origin of the mysterious place, but it turns out I'm still a little short."

Lu Yunhe's gaze was fixed on the origin of the Three Harmonies Territory. The last missing piece was not due to him, but rather because the mysterious place itself had a flaw.

Well, this flaw is compared to the source world; the mysterious land itself might not see it as a problem.

The problem is quite simple: since the mysterious place has its shortcomings, why not just make up for them?

Compared to the Source World, what exactly is missing from the Mysterious Land?

Lu Yunhe looked at the World Orb in his hand and smiled. He then covered the origin of the Three Kingdoms Territory with it.

"Great Void Realm Technique - Soul of the World!"

……

Chapter 963 Refining the Mysterious Land

"Alas, how long is this source going to stay?" sighed the Heavenly Light Ancestor.

Although only a short time has passed, the presence of a powerful being residing in one's own home, and even brazenly researching where the property certificate is, makes each day feel like an eternity for the inhabitants.

"I hope he can give up as soon as possible," Lord Leiming said helplessly.

Looking at the Lord Source in the distance, whose aura was clearly visible, he was completely helpless.

Even with only 70% of their strength remaining, the three of them, working together within the Three Kingdoms Territory, still couldn't break through the defenses and could only wait helplessly outside.

The three progenitors had also heard about it. At this moment, the Lord's Origin Avatar was wandering around the Chaotic Origin Space and was even chasing after Mogus, completely disregarding the three of them.

"Perhaps it won't be long before Lord Yuan has to leave, and the forces that have invaded the cultivator camp will gradually be driven out," said the Windwalking Ancestor unwillingly.

"At that time, only the strongest Ice Peak faction will remain."

"The cultivator camp will never allow other forces to encroach on their territory, and if they are to fight against the Ice Peak camp, the power of any lord is precious, and they will not allow Yuan to leave most of his power here."

“Once the cultivators’ camp decides to deal with the Ice Peak camp, Yuan will definitely choose to leave.”

Although he was able to analyze the situation correctly, he was simply not strong enough and could only wait there, unable to influence the outcome.

“Even if they don’t leave, if they only have a clone with 30% of their strength, the three of us working together can definitely handle it,” Lord Leiming echoed.

Although Yuan is only at 70% of his current strength, because of his life core, he can not only recover to his peak at any time, but also unleash completely different power.

As the core of the primordial life form, the life core can influence much more than just power.

"What if we manage to defeat the Ice Peak faction and then Yuan returns?" the Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Light whispered.

This was the fierce enemy it had attracted, and it dared not speak loudly at all.

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Light Ancestor, the other two ancestors fell silent.

This is indeed a problem. If the source really has its eye on the Three Kingdoms, they will be helpless even if it comes again.

"We'll see when the time comes. We can build defensive formations to keep it out, or invite other ancestors to help, or even join another faction."

"Once Yuan leaves, everything will be fine," the Windwalker Ancestor said wearily.

"Haha, I hope the Ice Peak faction won't give the lord any face!" Ancestor Tianguang chuckled dryly.

"Ugh!"
