Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 765

They really didn't want to experience that feeling of drastically reduced strength a second time.

In order to stay conscious during the soul attack, they expended a great deal of energy to resist, and could not even exert half of their strength, the decline was too exaggerated.

Such a terrifying soul attack, coupled with the difference in strength between the two.

If they were to encounter the Lord of Chaos City alone, they would likely have difficulty even escaping.

This is why the Emperor of the Dead Demon Clan stopped. Another disgusting aspect of soul attacks is that most of them are area-of-effect attacks, and they don't even decay, which is outrageous.

Using a wide-range soul attack, whether it targets one person or one hundred people, has the same effect.

Unless the attacked party retaliates with a soul attack in return, they will have to endure it.

Having been hit by a powerful soul attack, these undead race members began to question their existence, wondering why such an outrageous ability existed, and why it seemed to be specifically targeting them.

No, it seems to be aimed at beings other than cultivators.

Let alone the Deathly Clan, even the natives and lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms are helpless against soul attacks and can only endure them.

So far, I haven't heard of any treasures that can defend against attacks from the Origin Dao level soul.

The Chaos City Lord's soul attack was effective even in the capital, and the elders suffered a great loss of strength, not to mention those below the elder level.

Although the emperor didn't care much about his subordinates, he couldn't accept the annihilation of the entire Deathbringer Clan.

Therefore, the emperor of the Deathbringer Clan chose to stop, as continuing the fight would not yield any results.

Neither side could defeat the other, but the Chaos City Lord could target the entire floating island, while he was only using an avatar here, so neither side had enough strength to withstand the attack.

As for seeking revenge on the Boundary Heart Continent, he is no match for them on the floating islands. It would be dangerous if he were in an unfamiliar environment and lost his geographical advantage.

The Lord of Chaos City could potentially kill him, so he was unwilling to easily set foot on the Realm Heart Continent.

Once they calmed down and lost that inexplicable sense of dignity, these members of the Dead Clan became more realistic.

The loss of the clan's treasures is no big deal; it doesn't fundamentally harm them. They're the only ones on the entire floating island, spending their days playing games with themselves.

Now, the emperor of the Deathly Clan is only thinking about how to get the Lord of Chaos City to leave so as not to disturb his sleep.

"we won……"

After the Deathbringer Clan elders retreated, General Bloodflame and his men were momentarily stunned, then cheered.

"Hmph, thieves from the Blood Flame Clan. This is a battle between me and the Lord of Chaos City. What does it have to do with you?"

A muffled groan rang out, causing the entire atmosphere to tremble. This instantly brought General Xueyan and the others back to their senses, and they quickly retreated behind Lu Yunhe.

Intimidated by the emperor of the Deathly Fiend Clan, General Bloodflame and the others immediately became obedient and corrected their position.

Without the Lord of Chaos City, they would have no right to speak with the "Emperor".

"Lord City Lord!"

General Xueyan and his men became respectful, abandoning their initial equality.

"Let them all withdraw!" Lu Yunhe said to General Xueyan.

The other party had already backed down, and he felt a little embarrassed to continue robbing them.

Anyway, he had already gained enough this time, becoming rich overnight. However, most of the items were useless to him and could only be stored in the ancient kingdom's treasury.

"Yes!"

General Xueyan spoke respectfully, as if addressing a world monarch, without offering any rebuttal. He then quickly used a clan secret technique to notify those still within the clan territory.

At this moment, the Blood Soul Clan, who had seized a large number of Soul Spirit Fruits, was being chased around by the Death Fiend Clan.

This is, after all, the territory of the Deathly Clan. Even if they manage to seize the treasure, they still have to consider escaping.

"We finally got the Soul Fruit, we have to get out of the floating island area as soon as possible."

The Blood Flame Clan members thought that as long as they left the floating island, they could use teleportation and the like, and then they wouldn't have to worry about being hunted down by the Death Fiend Clan.

"This harvest has been so great. As long as we can return safely, many of our clansmen will probably be able to advance further. I wonder if a second monarch will be born," the Blood Soul Clan general said with satisfaction.

Moreover, the general felt that it was possible to discuss the matter further, since the other resources had already been more than enough, but the Soul Spirit Fruits were truly precious and could not be given up.

Just then, the Blood Soul Clan suddenly noticed that the Death Fiend Clan had all stopped, seemingly giving up the pursuit.

Although I was puzzled, I couldn't stop while escaping, so I decided to leave the floating island first.

Without any interference, the Blood Soul Clan members quickly escaped the range of the floating island's rules and reached a place where they could teleport.

After discovering they could teleport, the Blood Soul Clan members breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, even if the Death Fiend Clan caught up again, they would have no fear.

To their utter surprise, the Death Clan showed no intention of pursuing them even after they left.

Therefore, the remaining members of the Blood Soul Clan did not leave immediately, but instead hurriedly notified General Blood Flame.

What exactly happened within the Deathbringer Clan?

……

"left!"

On the other side, the emperor of the Death Fiend Clan also sensed that all the Blood Soul Clan members had withdrawn.

"Your people have all left. Remember, this time it was only because of the Chaos City Lord's influence. Next time I won't be so polite," the Deathbringer Clan's emperor said coldly to General Bloodflame.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

General Xueyan expressed his gratitude to Lu Yunhe and the royal capital of the Death Demon Clan, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The former did indeed do him a favor, while the latter, given his strength, chose not to pursue the matter, which is also something the weak should remember.

In the world of cultivators, strength is paramount, and might makes right.

The emperor of the Deathbringer Clan possessed the ability to annihilate them all, yet he refrained from doing so, which meant he had shown them kindness.

"This emperor doesn't seem to be completely ignorant of human relationships!" Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised when he heard the words of the Deathly Clan.

Upon hearing this, his gratitude towards the Blood Soul Clan grew even stronger, making any requests he made seem even more justifiable.

"It seems the Deathly Fiend Clan is also eager to get rid of me," Lu Yunhe thought to himself with a smile.

To be able to make a royal-level being do this much is, in a sense, a sign that the opponent has been subdued.

"Blood Flame, let's go!"

Lu Yunhe had no intention of lingering any longer and left directly with Xue Yan and the others.

Watching the cultivator's departing figure, the elders of the Death Fiend Clan breathed a sigh of relief.

Soul attacks are not just a type of attack; the suppression and seduction of the soul are terrifying to recall, and one never wants to experience them a second time.

"Emperor!"

The Grand Elder cautiously approached the Emperor. They had lost face greatly in this operation, and even the Emperor had suffered considerable injuries.

"Block the news!"

The emperor said coldly, not because he cared about losing face this time, but because he had already lost face and didn't want others to have an easy time either.

How can he be the only one to lose face? The other floating island emperors should also experience it.

Among the emperors of the floating islands, his strength is certainly not the strongest, but it is not the weakest either.

If the Lord of Chaos City could defeat him, it also meant that he could defeat a whole host of emperors.

When everyone is defeated, then naturally there will be nothing left for him.

Watching the Chaos City Lord's departing figure, Huang also prepared to return to his slumber. As for the losses, he would deal with them when he awoke next time.

However, to the emperor's surprise, when he returned to the Elder Hall, a familiar figure was standing there:

"Why are you still here?"

……

"Blood Flame!"

"General!"

Lu Yunhe followed General Xueyan to the rendezvous point. The Blood Soul Clan on the other side were overjoyed to see the unharmed general and gathered around him.

"General, what exactly happened? Those Deathbringers let us go so easily," a member of the Blood Soul Clan asked impatiently.

General Bloodflame's ability to lead this operation indicates that he holds a high position, second only to the monarch.

"We must thank the City Lord for this. We defeated the Emperor of the Deathly Fiend Clan with our strength, and the latter did not want to continue the fight, so he let us go," General Bloodflame said with a respectful expression.

Even if the Lord of Chaos City were to advance further, he would still be no match for his opponent.

"hiss…"

Upon hearing General Bloodflame's words, the Blood Soul Clan members gasped in shock.

"monarch!"

Without a doubt, being able to defeat the emperor of the Deathbringer Clan means that one must be at least on the same level as their monarch.

In this way, it makes sense that the Deathly Clan did not intervene in the end, because someone had defeated their emperor.

With the capital city retreating, there's naturally no need for the remaining Dead Demon Clan to continue fighting.

Afterwards, General Xueyan communicated with his subordinates and exchanged some items. Then, he took a cloth bag and found Lu Yunhe.

"We didn't achieve such great results in this operation, and we must thank the city lord for his help. This is our token of appreciation and the agreed-upon reward," General Bloodflame said respectfully.

"Okay, then I'll accept it!"

Lu Yunhe didn't stand on ceremony; it was what he deserved. If he didn't accept it, these people would be even more worried.

Sure enough, seeing the Chaos City Lord accept the gift, the Blood Soul Clan members were immediately relieved and smiled.

“Lord of the city, there are still some treasures from the Realm Heart Continent in my clan.”

Looking at the gifts from Lu Yunhe's subordinates, General Xueyan suddenly thought of something and continued speaking.

Over the years, many people from the Realmheart Continent have ventured into the Broken Tooth Mountains, but not all of them have managed to return safely, and many have perished.

Even if only an avatar perishes, the treasures on its body cannot be taken away.

Therefore, some indigenous people also possess many secret treasures from the Realm Heart Continent.

At the same time, the two cultivation systems are different. One focuses on the original path, while the other focuses on bloodline. Moreover, the former's crafting of secret treasures is so exquisite that the latter finds them unusable.
