Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"Thank you!"

Lu Yunhe put away the Chaos City and turned his gaze to the natives beside him.

Without the help of these people, he probably wouldn't have been able to capture the elder of the Deathbringer Clan so easily, and in the end he would probably only have gotten the corpse.

Although we don't know the reasons behind these people's actions, judging from their behavior, they don't seem to have any malicious intent for now, and we might even be able to cooperate.

Compared to the Dead Race, the indigenous people can still communicate and even cooperate.

Hearing the cultivator's words, the bald general breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the cultivator was not the kind of person who would fight at the slightest provocation. However, he did not approach and maintained a certain distance.

“Cultivators from the Realm Heart Continent, I am a general of the Blood Soul Clan named Xue Yan. These are my subordinates. We have come to this floating island to search for treasures and to gain some experience along the way.”

Xueyan introduced himself and also stated his purpose for the visit, which could be considered as a gesture of goodwill.

“My name is… Soul Fish…” a female soldier behind Blood Flame introduced herself.

"..."

"The Blood Soul Clan!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. According to the information he had collected, this tribe was quite famous among the native inhabitants of the Broken Tooth Mountains.

As is well known, both the Dead Abominations and the natives have some defects in their souls, or rather, their soul power is not commensurate with their strength.

However, the Blood Soul Clan is quite special. The men in the clan focus on physical strength and are physically powerful, while the women are skilled in soul attacks, mainly through the eyes on their foreheads.

When both sides cooperate, they can also achieve stronger coordination when facing the enemy.

There are many strange worlds in the Broken Tooth Mountains, so it's normal for some mutants to appear.

As for why these undead races, and even the indigenous people, have an innate weakness in their souls.

Lu Yunhe guessed that it was probably because when the predecessor of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, the Hunyuan expert, was killed, although his physical body was relatively intact, his soul was completely dead.

As a result, the life that was conceived from his corpse, influenced by his bloodline, was born with an excessively strong physical body, which exerted a great deal of pressure on the soul.

The Death Clan, in particular, suffers even deeper oppression of their souls, which is why most of them are no different from wild beasts.

"I am the Lord of Chaos City. I came here to hone my skills and collect some treasures along the way," Lu Yunhe said.

"As expected, it's the Lord of Chaos City!"

Xue Yan smiled and became more enthusiastic: "The news that the city lord seized the supreme treasure last time has also spread to the Broken Tooth Mountain Range."

"We were still discussing when you would become invincible, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Xue Yan offered a few compliments, because the Chaos City Lord had a relatively good reputation and wasn't the kind of peerless demon.

Most importantly, the Lord of Chaos City was probably visiting the Broken Tooth Mountains for the first time as well, and was not as familiar with them as they were.

With a better understanding of the environment, Xueyan and his group were able to take the initiative more easily, which put them at ease.

"It was also luck!"

For Lu Yunhe, obtaining the supreme treasure was truly a stroke of luck.

"luck!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Soul Clan members all showed envy in their eyes.

“You cultivators, once you reach the King level and wield a supreme treasure, you can be comparable to our monarchs (Emperors). It’s truly enviable,” Soul Fish couldn’t help but say.

The magnitude of the difference in strength was astonishing even to the people in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

If it weren't for the fact that an invincible being had made a name for himself, they would never have believed it.

"We should be the ones envying you more. You were born with such strength, and as long as you tap into your bloodline, your strength can increase dramatically," Lu Yunhe said speechlessly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that many cultivators look down on those who rise to power by relying on their bloodline. If you really gave them a chance, they would probably be eager to have their bloodline transplanted immediately.

By undergoing life-or-death trials, one has a high probability of awakening their bloodline, which is incredibly beneficial for cultivators.

Most practitioners undergo life-and-death trials simply to gain experience and accumulate inner strength. They may undergo these trials countless times, but it is still difficult to break through.

After exchanging a few words, the two sides became much more friendly. Given their combined strength, anyone who wasn't mentally unstable would find that there wasn't much difference between them.

Seeing that the Lord of Chaos City was so easy to talk to, General Bloodflame also exchanged words with his clansmen.

"Lord of the City, there is another magical treasure on this floating island, called the 'Soul Spirit Fruit'," General Blood Flame said solemnly.

When this fruit was mentioned, the Blood Soul Clan members all showed eager expressions in their eyes.

"The Soul Fruit is an extremely rare treasure, even on the floating islands. It is one of the few treasures that can enhance the essence of the soul, and it is very precious."

"Once the essence of our soul is enhanced, our chances of awakening our bloodline will be much greater."

The soul, the origin of all life, is the most fundamental power that significantly amplifies all aspects of life.

Just like the Blood Soul Clan, men who consume souls are enhanced and more likely to awaken their bloodline. Even if they cannot awaken it, the increased soul power allows them to better control their strength.

For women, it goes without saying that it directly increases their strength.

These beings in the Broken Tooth Mountains, due to their bloodline, are not lacking in power, but rather in soul and control.

"Our main purpose in coming here is for this treasure. According to our calculations, the spiritual fruit will mature around this time."

General Bloodflame's expression was fiery. His strength had reached its limit, and if he could advance further, he might have the opportunity to become a "monarch"-like being.

"Soul Fruit!"

Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment, but there was no relevant information. It seemed that no intelligence had been found.

Consumable items like these are indeed difficult to record if you're unlucky, since the Dead Clan and outsiders can hardly communicate.

However, although the "Soul Fruit" can enhance the origin of the soul, Lu Yunhe remained skeptical about whether it could actually enhance his soul.

However, whether used for collection, research, or as a reward for subordinates, treasures that can enhance the essence of the soul are of considerable value.

"As expected, I still need to communicate with these indigenous people to obtain valuable information," Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

After all, the Deathbringers and the natives are the true masters of the Broken Tooth Mountains, and they communicate with each other more frequently.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunhe became even more enthusiastic about these people, hoping to befriend them in order to obtain more useful information.

"Most importantly, there are more than one Soul Fruit; there are quite a few of them," General Bloodflame said.

If there were only one, he would never tell outsiders about it, and his subordinates probably wouldn't be willing to come either.

Only when everyone has a chance to obtain it can there be a basis for cooperation.

"I never expected that the floating island would have such a treasure. It's truly tempting." Lu Yunhe nodded.

“Besides the Soul Spirit Fruit, there are other precious treasures on the floating island, such as the Xuanjia Stone and the Soul Transformation Crystal,” General Blood Flame said.

These things, while valuable to them, are not something they place much importance on.

However, since the Lord of Chaos City has established a kingdom, he may need these resources and treasures for his adventure on the floating island.

"It's really attractive!"

The things General Bloodflame mentioned are all used to forge precious treasures, even top-tier treasures...

The Realmheart Continent is already rich enough, but the Broken Tooth Mountains have even more resources.

"Well, he's just like the strongest being in the primordial universe again." Listening to General Xueyan's account, Lu Yunhe realized that the top resources of the entire Chaos Ancient Kingdom probably depended on his invincible existence.

If these treasures were converted into actual resources, they would be an invincible force that sustained an ancient kingdom.

Much like the founder of the giant axe, at least half of the treasures in the human treasury were obtained through his adventures.

There's no way around it; their strength is undeniable. Even for a cosmic god, taking a risk would be a deadly situation.

Just like now, Lu Yunhe is preparing to head towards the territory of the Death Fiend Clan, while even those who are ultimate universe gods can only fight against the Death Fiend Clan elders.

This difference in strength naturally leads to a difference in the accumulation of treasures.

"City Lord, we can cooperate to deal with these undead races. We can give you all the other treasures; we only want the Soul Spirit Fruit," General Blood Flame said expectantly.

"Besides us, there are some other members of our clan on the floating island, who have also collected some treasures during this time."

The Deathly Clan on the floating island still wields considerable power. If they were to rely solely on these individuals, while they might have a chance to obtain it, they would also suffer heavy losses.

However, if the Lord of Chaos City were present, the losses would be much less.

It wasn't so much exploitation as it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, or even that Xueyan and his group had hired them.

General Xueyan and his group didn't lack treasures made of this kind of material; what they wanted more was something to enhance their strength.

“Okay, but I’d like to get more detailed information, and I also need a Soul Spirit Fruit,” Lu Yunhe said after a moment’s thought.

After thinking about it, he realized he hadn't suffered any losses; given the disparity in strength, it would be difficult for him to suffer any losses.

If anyone dares to trick him, he'll just charge into the Blood Soul World and kill them all.

"No problem!" General Bloodflame readily agreed.

One side is more confident in its own strength, while the other is more confident in its familiarity with the environment. In terms of status, there is no difference between the two sides.

"With the support of the Chaos City Lord, our chances of success are even greater."

"We still need to be careful. The city lord killed an elder of the Death Fiend Clan before. They might be able to awaken the sleeping 'Emperor'," Soul Fish reminded her from the side. As a woman, she should be more perceptive.

“If they awaken the ‘Emperor,’ leave it to me. I’m also quite interested in their Emperor,” Lu Yunhe said confidently.

"Then we'll leave it to the city lord..."

General Bloodflame quickly said that he was willing to bring the Lord of Chaos City into his camp, and even offered most of the spoils of victory.

The core purpose of offering such generous terms is to guard against the "Emperor" of the Deathbringer Clan. Even if the Blood Soul Clan were to come to the floating island, they would not be able to withstand the power of the "Emperor".

If the Dead Clan were to awaken the "Emperor," they risked total annihilation.

However, the invincible beings of the Realm Heart Continent are different; they possess the strength to confront the "Emperor."

As long as they can block the "Emperor", they will be able to deal with the remaining members of the Dead Demon Clan with ease.

"Lord of the city, please come with me. Besides us, other members of our clan have also come this time!"

Chapter 698 Coming out in full force

Lu Yunhe met with the Blood Soul Clan to discuss their upcoming cooperation.
