Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 786

Lu Yunhe raised his hand, and the power of illusion descended directly into the entire hall, enveloping the souls of everyone present.

Immediately, the expressions of the world monarchs present changed drastically, especially those at the early stage of the Emperor level, whose expressions even showed a hint of fear.

Their strength dropped by about half, almost matching the increase they experienced globally.

"We definitely can win!"

As the illusionary power faded, the world rulers came to their senses one by one, muttering to themselves.

"With the Alliance Leader's soul attack, the numerical advantage of Emperor Beihe's forces has been completely negated," the Blood Axe Lord said confidently.

It was this terrifying soul attack that gave the Blood Axe Lord such confidence.

“Next time it happens, as long as the Northern River Emperor doesn’t intervene, no matter how many subordinates he sends, we can still hold them off, and might even win.” The Lord of the Underworld Snake flicked his tongue, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"I suggest that we all use our connections to influence Emperor Beihe, so that he will only send his subordinate generals next time," said the Lord of the Underworld Serpent.

"If we can defeat them again, we can unite more rebels and bring more world monarchs into the Freedom Alliance."

"As long as we have enough numbers and cooperate with the alliance leader, we can completely stop the invasion of Beihe."

The Lord of the Underworld Serpents' mind worked quickly, and he soon devised a strategy.

Many strategies are not actually very difficult; the most crucial factor is whether one's own strength is sufficient.

With enough strength, even the most difficult strategies become simple.

“That’s right. This time, let’s contact our friends as much as possible and bring in more world monarchs so we don’t have to wait until the next attack,” said the Dragon Head World Monarch.

“Yes, faced with that guy Beihe’s invasion, many world monarchs are wavering, trying their best to bring them in,” said one world monarch after another.

The Blood Axe Lord's network alone is still too small. However, if the world monarchs present truly unite, they can definitely bring in another batch of world monarchs.

As a world monarch, who doesn't have a few close friends who would die for them? It's time to join them.

Seeing a glimmer of hope for victory, the many world monarchs immediately began a heated discussion, proposing a series of suitable strategies.

Amidst the heated discussion, the traitor hidden within also felt a sense of unease: Could the Great Emperor of Beihe really defeat this group?

"If not, should he defect beforehand?" the mole wondered to himself.

"Please forgive me, Alliance Leader!"

Seeing that everyone was having such a lively discussion that they had forgotten about the real leader of the alliance, the Blood Axe Lord suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"It's alright. It's good that you've all thought things through. It saves me from worrying about these little things," Lu Yunhe waved his hand dismissively.

He became the leader of the alliance because he hoped these people would contribute to him, not because he would advise them.

"understand!"

The Blood Axe Lord breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't taken good care of Lu Yunhe, their alliance would have been in grave danger.

As a world monarch, he acted swiftly, with one world monarch bidding farewell to Lu Yunhe and returning to recruit people.

As people came and went, the number of world monarchs in the hall actually increased.

Seeing this, the Blood Axe Lord's face lit up with even greater joy, but his expression quickly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh no, it's the Golden Winged Boat!"

As the world's monarch, he is extremely sensitive to foreign objects that intrude into the world, especially those with undisguised power.

"what?"

At this moment, more than thirty world monarchs, an extremely powerful force, had gathered in the hall, but upon hearing the words of the Blood Axe Lord, their expressions all changed drastically.

"A golden flying boat... Could it be that the Great Emperor of the Northern River has arrived?"

"Only he was left; no one else was qualified to sit. Why did he arrive so quickly? And why did he do it himself?"

Upon hearing that the Great Emperor of the Northern River might come in person, the world monarchs present all felt a sense of unease.

There are many indigenous peoples in the world, and with the support of the world and their own ethnic groups, they all have remarkable achievements in their own worlds.

However, the late stage of the Emperor level is a huge threshold, with strength and status far exceeding those below it.

Just how powerful are these two? The vast majority of early-stage Emperors don't even have the qualifications to meet an Emperor-level being. It's that exaggerated.

Lu Yunhe had always suspected that the Emperor-level realm was not defined by the soul, otherwise how could there be such a large gap within a realm? Moreover, the difference in strength was not that great either.

Even a being at the first level of the Cosmic God realm wouldn't be so lowly in the face of an ultimate being.

However, from the perspective of the soul, the difference is indeed not significant; it can be seen as a difference in minor realms.

It was also because of the Emperor's status that, when Blood Axe Lord and others discussed it before, they always mentioned Beihe and even regarded it as the ultimate goal.

But in reality, they never thought that the Great Emperor of Beihe would personally take action; at most, he would just send out more divine generals.

After all, although they had gathered many world monarchs, their strength was only average. In the eyes of the Great Emperor, it was probably just a minor skirmish.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Great Emperor of Beihe personally took action this time, which was completely beyond their expectations.

"Since you've already made your decision, what's there to be afraid of!" the Lord of the Underworld Serpent sneered, his icy aura sweeping across the entire main hall, instantly bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Hmph, if I were afraid, I wouldn't have come," the Lord of the Dragon Head World replied.

"Since the Northern River Emperor dares to come, let him see our determination and will," the Blood Axe Lord said solemnly.

Of all those present, he was under the most pressure; the slightest misstep could lead to the destruction of his entire clan and world.

"Alliance leader!"

Suppressing their emotions, everyone focused their attention on the alliance leader in the main seat.

"Gentlemen, the Great Emperor of Beihe has arrived. We cannot lose face. Let's go and greet him together."

"Perhaps, Beihe has come to sue for peace with us."

Lu Yunhe spoke, still calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever, and even had time to crack a joke.

"hehe!"

A few low laughs came from below, clearly indicating that they didn't think it was possible.

However, everyone also discovered another advantage of having a cultivator as the leader of the alliance.

That is fearlessness, even though everyone knows that this is just an avatar of the Chaos City Lord, and it doesn't matter if he dies.

But at least on the surface, this leader was indeed very effective, directly dispelling the pressure in their hearts.

The personality of a leader of a faction can almost determine the style of the entire faction.

"Let's go, let's go see what that guy Beihe is all about!"

With the permission granted by the Lord of Bloodaxe, everyone could teleport directly without having to forcibly break through space.

Boom! ! !

A golden winged boat rapidly approached from a distance. Because it lacked world access, the boat forcibly broke through the spatial suppression and sped away.

From a distance, the flying boat was incredibly large, with golden wings formed on both sides of the massive vessel. The entire flying boat traversed the void, its golden light dazzling and incomparably eye-catching!

More than their appearance, the immense aura emanating from the flying boat made the Blood Axe Lord and the other world monarchs tense up.

Without the Lord of Chaos City's support, let alone thirty-odd of them, even if they could gather a hundred World Lords, they wouldn't dare challenge the Great Emperor of the Northern River.

The Great Emperor of Beihe maintains an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality, and his divine generals are even more terrifying.

Therefore, even though the Northern River Emperor was extremely domineering, they had never thought of truly uniting to resist him before. Instead, they fought their own battles, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

"call!"

The golden winged boat came to a stop. The huge ship was dazzling with golden light. A group of figures appeared at the bow, led by a man in a green robe.

Behind them stood a group of divine generals, each possessing an extraordinary and powerful aura, clearly far stronger than these world lords.

The "Great Emperor of the Northern River" exuded a terrifying oppressive aura; his mere presence instilled fear and unease in the entire native inhabitant of the Blood Soul World.

One person can destroy a world.

For the Great Emperor of the Northern River... it's not a difficult task!

"The Great Emperor of the Northern River".

Lu Yunhe stared straight ahead. As the leader of the Freedom Alliance, his status naturally could not be lower than the other party's.

Faced with such a provocative gaze, the Great Emperor of Beihe also turned his gaze in that direction.

Their eyes met, and both revealed a hint of interest.

Lu Yunhe was interested in this later villain, while the Northern River Emperor was interested in the mysterious cultivator.

Chapter 721 The Divine General's Test

Emperor Beihe stood on the golden flying boat, only looking at Lu Yunhe, completely ignoring the others.

Even so, the mere appearance of the Northern River Emperor caused dozens of world monarchs, including the Blood Axe Lord, to become extremely nervous.

However, they had no way out at this point; they had already come to this point and had no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.

Is war about to break out?

"I wonder how much of the Northern River Emperor's strength will be left after the Chaos City Lord's soul attack? It would be best if it could be weakened as much as possible."

"The Northern River Emperor is the youngest among all the emperors, but also the most ambitious and powerful. I wonder if he has any means to deal with soul attacks?"

"No matter what, he is only at the Emperor level! Not to mention him, even the Supreme is only at the Emperor level perfection. Since they are all at the Emperor level, their souls will not be much different, only their wills will be different."

"It will definitely be weakened to some extent, but we don't know how effective it will be."

These world rulers communicated with each other, remaining constantly vigilant and ready to wage war at any moment.

Although everyone focused all their energy on Emperor Beihe, they did not neglect the subordinates he brought with him.

They could try to deal with either of these two forces individually, but when they were combined, the deterrent effect was completely different.

Even with their strength weakened, the divine generals under the Northern River Emperor are still stronger than these early-stage Emperor-level beings, and even have a numerical advantage.

With the addition of the Northern River Emperor, the only way to force the opponent to retreat is through sheer force.

The Northern River Emperor was forced to back down at a heavy cost, and his subordinates suffered too many casualties, making it difficult for him to realize his so-called expansion plan.

"This is our only chance!" The Blood Axe Lord and the others knew this very well.
