Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

As for cultivators, they naturally reach the highest level.

Everything in the universe is truly in a state of balance; there is a natural equilibrium within everything.

"The Great Emperor of the Northern River!"

Lu Yunhe seemed to be deep in thought. Among those top-tier emperor-level beings, there were few who enjoyed expanding their territories and waging war.

Most powerful individuals, once they've expanded their territory to a certain extent, simply don't want to bother with it anymore.

On the other side of the Realm Heart Continent, even an invincible being could solve the problems of those small countries, but it was simply unnecessary.

"The city lord has also learned about Emperor Beihe," the Blood Axe Lord asked curiously.

"I've only heard a little about it; they're incredibly powerful," Lu Yunhe nodded.

"Given the city lord's strength and status, the only ones worth paying attention to are probably the Great Emperor and the Supreme Being," the Blood Axe Lord said enviously.

Their strength far surpasses theirs, and they even possess the power to kill a royal-level expert. Most importantly, they are cultivators with clones.

Let alone the Northern River Emperor, he could handle even a Supreme Being with ease.

After all, even the Supreme Being cannot go to the Realm Heart Continent, nor can they kill the main body through a clone.

Hearing the Blood Axe Lord's flattery, Lu Yunhe smiled lightly. Having an avatar is just that shameless.

"Before becoming the Great Emperor, Beihe was already ambitious, and after becoming the Great Emperor, he became completely unscrupulous," the Blood Axe Lord slowly recounted.

Of the five supreme beings in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, two are native inhabitants: Haotian Ancient Supreme and Leixiao Supreme.

The two supreme beings divided the entire indigenous power in two, splitting their territories.

However, the so-called division is only nominal. The Supreme Being has already reached the Emperor level and is only one step away from completing the final leap. He doesn't care about power at all.

Because the so-called forces could not provide him with any assistance at all, and no one in the Broken Tooth Mountains dared to resist him if he wanted any resources or treasures.

Therefore, although the Supreme Ruler nominally governs the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, he doesn't care about anything and is too lazy to even divide up the power.

In most cases, he entrusted the management to his subordinates, who were powerful experts at the late stage of the Emperor level.

However, the late-stage Emperor level is also in an awkward position. They can't defeat the Supreme, and it's difficult for their own power to advance further. They can only think about cultivation and advancing further.

Only those at the early and mid-stages of the Emperor level are quite eager for resources, and some even want to develop their own race as much as possible.

There are many battles between them, but they don't involve the emperors and supreme beings. Sometimes they even go to the floating islands.

However, the Great Emperor of Beihe was an anomaly. He was more eager for territory, or rather, for his subordinates, and wanted to try to gather the power of the masses.

However, as a royal being and the ruler of the world, how could he be willing to truly and completely become someone else's subordinate?

There were some, but the Blood Axe Lord and others were clearly unwilling to completely surrender to the Northern River Emperor.

As for those who were unwilling to submit to absolute authority, the Great Emperor of Beihe sent his subordinates to coerce and occupy them, which led to the predicament of the Blood Soul Clan.

"The current Emperor of Beihe is probably still consolidating his territory and accumulating strength!" Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Chapter 713 The Primordial Life of Chaotic Rules

"We hope the city lord can help our clan overcome this calamity."

The Blood Axe Lord looked at Lu Yunhe with anticipation. The situation in the native world was indeed very complicated, with many people waiting and playing a game of strategy.

At this time, the Chaos City Lord from the Realm Heart Continent was indeed the most suitable person.

They are incredibly powerful, possess extraordinary survival abilities, and are not afraid of emperors or supreme beings.

Unlike the Blood Axe Lord and his group, whose base is in the Broken Tooth Mountains and cannot be moved, they have too many things to consider.

“If you ask for help, even with Emperor Beihe’s strength, I’m afraid I’m no match for him.” Lu Yunhe frowned.

Whether he helps or not is irrelevant; the key issue is that he might not even be able to solve the problem.

Upon hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, the Blood Axe Lord showed no disappointment, but rather a hint of delight.

As expected, the titles of Emperor and Supreme could not subdue this group of lawless cultivators.

Upon learning of the Northern River Emperor's strength, the first thought was not to retreat, but rather whether one could defeat him.

“City Lord, we don’t need to defeat Emperor Beihe; it’s not that serious yet.”

The Lord of Blood Axe quickly shook his head: "Beihe is an emperor, and he would only send his subordinates to fight a war of this magnitude."

After all, the Great Emperor of Beihe also hoped to have a group of powerful subordinates, rather than having to fight them all himself; otherwise, he would have no need to build up his own power base.

He also hoped to eliminate forces that disobeyed his orders through war, while simultaneously training his subordinates.

"We only need to deal with Emperor Beihe's subordinates. As long as we can withstand the pressure and cause them enough losses, the others will follow suit."

Although the emperor was famous, he was not so famous that people would flee at the mere mention of his name and surrender immediately.

Like the Lord of Blood Axe, although his strength was average, he was willing to fight back and never compromise.

The surrounding forces also understood the principle of mutual dependence, but since they were not affected immediately, they were still somewhat hesitant.

As long as the Blood Axe Lord and his allies can withstand the first wave of attacks, they can unite with the other discontented individuals and together withstand the pressure from the Northern River Emperor.

Then the battle lines will be stretched out, creating new variables over a long period of time.

This is a war, a contest between a late-stage Emperor and the ordinary indigenous people within the sphere of influence.

"The Northern River Emperor is ambitious, and his expansion of power is definitely aimed at the Supreme Beings."

The female general of the Blood Soul Clan spoke up: "In this way, he will definitely be more willing to train his subordinates rather than do everything himself. This is our opportunity."

By launching a war, eliminating forces that do not obey him, and cultivating his subordinates in the process, Emperor Beihe would not lose out from any perspective.

As long as one is strong enough, for a powerful person, there is only the question of making a small profit or a big profit; there is no such thing as losing, in short, it is always winning.

"Although war will cause heavy losses to his men, given the character of the Northern River Emperor, he will not care about their lives or deaths," said the Lord of the Blood Axe.

In this way, even if some commotion is caused, the Northern River Emperor should not take action.

If we stall until they find a new method, or until a Supreme Being or other Great Emperors intervene, or until a new Great Emperor appears, that will be enough to suppress the ambitions of the Northern River Emperor.

“That makes things much simpler!” Lu Yunhe nodded, looking confident.

I haven't directly fought someone at the late-stage Emperor level, so it's hard to say. But at the early and mid-stages of Emperor level, it's a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Axe Lord and his clansmen exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of joy.

At this point, the only suitable helpers they could find were the cultivators of the Realm Heart Continent.

Other indigenous peoples also hesitated under the emperor's powerful reputation.

The impact of a small difference in cultivation level can be so profound.

"With the city lord's help, our plan will be much more successful."

The Lord of Bloodaxe said with delight, and then immediately asked, "I heard that the City Lord is looking for low-level Chaos Origin life forms. May I ask what they are intended to be used for?"

"I'll study the insights and use the corpse to refine treasures along the way," Lu Yunhe said with a smile. Finally, he started talking about the benefits, which made his advance disclosure of his needs worthwhile.

After arriving at this room, although the Blood Soul Clan acted rather discreetly, Lu Yunhe still managed to detect something: their private communication.

If there's no benefit to be gained, it seems that out of respect for General Xueyan, he might at most offer some assistance, but don't expect him to go all out.

The relationship between the two parties is not that good yet; they are merely acquaintances.

After all, it was just a conflict between indigenous people, and it had nothing to do with him.

Although he was not afraid of these emperors and supreme beings, he did not want to be used as a pawn by them.

"Research, huh?"

General Blood Axe sighed, "For people like us, all we can do is use its blood and flesh."

Upon hearing the words of the Blood Axe Lord, the Blood Soul Clan members around him all looked somewhat reluctant.

Maintaining the blood pool also requires a lot of resources; otherwise, it would be too difficult for the clansmen to awaken on their own.

While lower-level Chaos Origin life forms are not considered core resources, they are still incredibly precious.

The flesh and blood of lower-level Chaos Origin beings also have some use to them; handing them over to others would be tantamount to cutting off one's own flesh.

"City Lord, if this can help my clan overcome this crisis, I am willing to hand over the corpses of the lower-level Chaos Origin beings in my clan to you," the Blood Axe Lord said firmly.

If the tribe itself is lost, there's no point in guarding these resources; the only option now is to maximize their use.

"Our clan paid a considerable price to hunt down this low-level Chaos Origin life form, but as a result, the corpse was preserved relatively well, only losing some flesh and blood, which we then threw into the Blood Pool," the Blood Axe Master explained.

Besides being used as a resource, the Hunyuan life form itself also allows the clansmen to gain some insights, so it is not wasted, but rather preserved as much as possible.

“A Hunyuan life form.” Lu Yunhe’s eyes lit up. Sure enough, these natives still had quite a few good things in their possession, and they wouldn’t easily take them out until the very last moment.

"What kind of rule attributes does this Hunyuan life form have?" Lu Yunhe asked curiously.

"The Dao of Chaos!"

The Lord of Blood Axe spoke up, saying that it was precisely this attribute that made it worth the great price their clan had to pay.

After all, the chaotic attribute is one of the most inclusive of the original Dao.

"It's actually the Dao of Chaos."

Lu Yunhe's joy was palpable. He had thought it was just a low-level Chaos Origin Lifeform with ordinary attributes, but he never expected it to be the Chaos Dao.

In some ways, lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms are similar to cultivators of the Origin Dao; the more precious the rules and the fewer the number of them, the stronger they become.

Most lower-level primordial life forms also possess the attributes of the Five Elements and the Three Phases.

"The Blood Soul Clan is safe, I said it," Lu Yunhe murmured to himself.

He was determined to obtain the corpse of this low-level Chaos Origin life form, regardless of whether there was another Chaos Origin life form with Chaos attributes in the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range.

"It seems the city lord is quite satisfied with this treasure." The Blood Axe Lord, seeing the obvious joy on the other's face, thought of the prefix "chaos."

However, according to General Bloodflame, isn't the Lord of Chaos City cultivating the Void Path? Could it be that he's preparing to try a second ultimate origin path?

"Ok!"

Lu Yunhe nodded: "I'm also looking for these low-level Chaos Origin life forms, but they're too difficult to find."

“Indeed, these low-level Chaos Origin life forms are homeless and difficult to find,” sighed the Blood Axe Lord.

"Later, I will also hand over the information that our clan has collected about the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms to the city lord, as a small token of our appreciation."
