Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

After all, he inherited the Hunyuan bloodline and was able to reach the level of an emperor. Emperor Wufeng's wisdom and comprehension were also quite high.

In particular, having occupied the Seven Bell Tower, a treasure for cultivating the mind, for many years, Emperor Wufeng's cultivation level was not bad.

Among the indigenous people, if the Northern River Emperor was considered to have good aptitude and strong strength, then the Witch Wind Emperor was considered to have a high realm and sufficient comprehension.

"Well done!"

The battle was exhilarating for Emperor Wufeng. After overcoming his initial carelessness, he remained extremely vigilant in the subsequent battles.

Emperor Wufeng used all his strength, and the overall battle was one of overwhelming Lu Yunhe.

However, Lu Yunhe still relied on his superior cultivation level to constantly search for weaknesses in Emperor Wufeng's attacks, and sometimes he could even overpower his opponent.

They are both emperors, but their compatibility is different.

Clearly, when facing an existence like Emperor Wufeng, Lu Yunhe was able to leverage his advantage in cultivation level even more, truly demonstrating the ability to move mountains with minimal effort.

However, when facing the Northern River Emperor who overwhelms people with force, although the advantage of realm is still there, the effect is not as good.

Cultivators can now challenge those with powerful bloodlines, even those of higher levels. The slightest difference in skill level can be amplified by various factors.

Lu Yunhe and Emperor Wufeng were fighting in the sky, attracting the attention of not only the generals, but also the other guards and soldiers.

Originally, General Qin Yu was still somewhat resentful of the Chaos City Lord's unexpected attack, but after watching the battle between the two emperors, he was completely engrossed in it.

Both sides relied on a combination of strength and skill, rather than simply overwhelming the other with brute force.

For the divine generals, a battle of this magnitude is a once-in-a-millennium event.

Every move and stance of the two fighters was inspiring to the onlookers, making them wish they could join in.

Of course, although Lu Yunhe and his companion fought without revealing a single detail, the mere aura they exuded was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"Haha, as expected of a cultivator from the Realm Heart Continent. Let's stop here."

After a thoroughly enjoyable battle, Emperor Wufeng was satisfied and chose to stop.

"The Emperor's strength is equally astonishing!" Lu Yunhe also stopped attacking.

This battle barely satisfied his fighting spirit; although he still couldn't defeat his opponent, he wouldn't easily lose either.

The greatest strength of a high level of mastery is not in challenging opponents of higher levels or defeating superiors, but in entanglement and escape.

One can contend with someone who is one realm above you, and save your life if you are two realms above you. After all, if the difference in strength is too great, a direct confrontation is simply not an option.

"How does he compare to that guy from Beihe?" Emperor Wufeng asked directly.

He had last fought the Great Emperor of Beihe a long time ago, and he was unaware of the current situation in Beihe.

"Beihe is probably about 10% or 20% stronger," Lu Yunhe estimated.

"As expected, Beihe is probably the most talented among us emperors."

Emperor Wufeng tucked his precious sword into his waistband and fell from the sky with Lu Yunhe.

"Although I am confident in my own strength, I must say that Beihe is probably the most promising among our natives to become the new supreme ruler," Emperor Wufeng sighed.

Without this qualification, Emperor Beihe wouldn't have been so ambitious, wanting to first acquire a supreme-level power and then snatch resources from the supreme beings.

The most precious treasures of the Broken Tooth Mountains are almost all controlled by the Supreme Beings, partly due to their strength, and partly probably to suppress the Great Emperors.

Since the Great Emperor of the Northern River has this aptitude, he naturally feels a great sense of crisis, which is why he is so eager to expand his ranks of divine generals.

Some divine generals also saw this point, which is why they were willing to serve under the Northern River Emperor. Once the latter becomes the supreme ruler, they can also hitch a ride and use the precious resources to advance further.

For example, after Emperor Beihe became the supreme ruler, he arranged for his subordinates to borrow the Seven Bell Tower more than ten times. Could Emperor Wufeng refuse?

"According to the city lord's speculation, Emperor Beihe is probably much stronger than in our last encounter. It won't be long before he reaches the pinnacle of the Emperor realm," Emperor Wufeng exclaimed in admiration.

Although I was very unhappy with the actions of the Northern River Emperor, I still admired him quite a bit.

"The pinnacle of emperorship!"

Lu Yunhe smiled, but didn't mention the bet between him and the Northern River Emperor.

"Emperor!"

"City Lord!"

As Emperor Wufeng and Lu Yunhe landed, several divine generals came to greet them, their expressions becoming much more respectful.

"Follow me, City Lord." Emperor Wufeng led Lu Yunhe and eight divine generals to a tower.

"This is the Seven Bell Tower!"

The Seven Bell Tower is an ordinary tower, with seven bells hanging from its edges. There is nothing particularly special about its appearance.

"I apologize for my earlier offense. If the city lord wishes to borrow the Seven Bell Tower, please feel free to use it," said Emperor Wufeng.

Originally, Emperor Wufeng was only pleased because the Lord of Chaos City was opposing Emperor Beihe. After the battle just now, Emperor Wufeng fully acknowledged the other party's strength.

He understood that the Seven Bell Pagoda, a treasure for calming the mind, would be even more effective for cultivators, so he was very generous with it, since he was already tired of using it anyway.

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Lu Yunhe cupped his hands in greeting, indicating that the emperor was quite satisfied with his performance just now. It was worth all his efforts, and now he didn't even have to pay.

"No need to be polite. In the future, when I challenge the city lord, Sea King, don't refuse." Emperor Wufeng said casually.

He originally wanted to test the strength of the Chaos City Lord to see if they could fight against "Yanhuang" together, but since the other party couldn't even beat him, he decided against it and would rather wait until he made a further advancement and use his own strength to coerce "Yanhuang".

"For such trivial matters, Your Majesty is welcome to come to me anytime," Lu Yunhe said nonchalantly.

"Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony." Emperor Wufeng looked at the Seven Bell Tower:

"The city lord only needs to go in and manipulate the power to push one of the bells. All seven bells will ring in succession, and the sound will lead people into a very special state of cultivation."

"However, only one person can enter the Seven Bell Tower at a time, otherwise it will interfere with the power of the bells. Even if it is a clone, it will be judged as two people," Emperor Wufeng reminded.

He knew that the Lord of Chaos City had an avatar, and he was afraid that the other party would do something unconventional and waste an opportunity.

"understand!"

Lu Yunhe nodded, then sent a clone of himself into the Seven Bell Tower.

Compared to his cultivation level, Lu Yunhe's greatest strength is actually his soul, which is enough to create clones that can maintain peak soul power.

As long as there's no fighting or death battle, it's perfectly fine to create clones for cultivation.

However, the total amount of soul power is still limited. The more clones you create, the more soul power you need to divide.

The purpose of entering the Seven Bell Tower this time is for cultivation, so naturally, it is necessary to maintain the perfection of one's soul state.

Inside the tower.

Lu Yunhe walked in and found the tower to be peculiar, with an extremely mysterious internal structure and a complex array of edges and corners.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but relax, as if the constraints of his physical body on his soul had lessened.

"It actually works! No wonder it's called the 'Number One Treasure for Tranquil Cultivation'," Lu Yunhe exclaimed. Just the fact that it works already surpasses many other treasures.

"Let me see just how effective it really is."

With a thought, Lu Yunhe manipulated his divine power to gently push one of the hanging bells.

Ding ding ding ding~~~

The melodious sound of bells rang out, seemingly coming from nowhere and transcending time and fate. The sound was not noisy, but rather brought a sense of joy from the bottom of one's heart.

A joyful mood naturally influences the mind. For a powerful cultivator to feel genuine joy is extremely difficult, aside from the improvement of their cultivation level itself.

As other bells rang one after another, the different sounds mixed together and were transmitted into the tower. When they echoed under the tower's peculiar structure, they produced strange fluctuations that affected Lu Yunhe's soul, which was then subtly guided into a peculiar state.

Whew~~~

quiet!

The soul was quieter than ever before, as if an invisible wave was permeating it and maintaining everything.

"How can the soul, the mind, be so still?"

It was as if in boundless darkness, everything disappeared, rules and everything else vanished. This darkness and silence permeated every part of the soul, making the soul so quiet that it seemed to have fallen into stillness.

At this moment, there is only the soul, only oneself; with just a thought, one can easily feel one's physical body.

In this state, the perception of the physical body is incredibly strong, and one must achieve complete clarity.

"So, this is why the Seven Bell Tower helps the indigenous people develop their souls and bodies."

Lu Yunhe seemed to be deep in thought. Being able to better sense his physical body was indeed helpful for the path of bloodline.

However, for cultivators, especially those who have reached the level of Cosmic God, their bodies are basically created by themselves, so there is no such thing as prying into their physical bodies.

Basically, they all study the deeper essence of the Tao, or the bloodline and divine body of other people...

For example, the indigenous people's...

Then, with a single thought, Lu Yunhe shielded the existence of his physical body, retaining only the perception of his soul.

In an instant, the pressure on his soul lessened a bit, and he was completely plunged into 'true' boundless darkness.

In the darkness, there was nothing, not even a physical body, only the soul in near-perfect stillness.

At the same time, the mind is incredibly 'active', and the soul is in a state of complete freedom, fully exploring its own soul potential and comprehension.

"It does have some effect, locking the soul in a dark room." Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised, thinking of certain cheat codes that could add points and directly lock people in a dark room to cultivate.

The dark room is terrifying for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is a powerful tool for cultivation.

His strength is too great; it's almost impossible for him to truly block out all external influences. Even now, he can still sense the external clones, which are not true darkness.

"Could destroying the origin of the Dao achieve this level of destruction?" Lu Yunhe suddenly wondered.

What comes after destruction? What truly exists beneath the surface of destruction?

The function of the Seven Bell Pagoda is hard to say, but at this moment, Lu Yunhe was touched and gained new insights into the Dao of Destruction.

Outside the tower!

Lu Yunhe, Emperor Wufeng, and eight divine generals were also present.
