Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 227 The Emperors' Choices
The territory of Tianmu Kingdom.

A towering figure, engulfed in flames, suddenly descended. He was incredibly domineering, with towering waves of flames, fiery red wings that shimmered incessantly, and a scaled tail behind him that seemed to contain an endless universe, distorting space and time before him.

The fiery humanoid creature walked up to the palace of the Purple Wood God King, its eyes looking down arrogantly, and said coldly, "King of Beasts, Purple Wood God King, why don't you come out and greet me?!"

On this continent of origin, he has a more widely known name: Di Yan, who is also the first emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!
In a dimly lit, quiet room, wisps of colorful smoke drifted like colorful clouds. The Beast Ayu and the Purple Wood God King had rather solemn expressions.

"Brother, I'll go see him and send him away." The Beast Ayu spoke first: "So what if he's an Emperor? Even if all the Emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom joined forces, they couldn't kill me."

The ultimate realm of the Destruction Path also has strong survival capabilities. Even in the chaotic void, Emperor Jun could constantly escape the pursuit of the Sword Master and Snow Eagle. The Sword Master alone could not do anything to him.

The Beast King also possesses a perfect divine body, as well as clones and other life-saving techniques such as invisibility and formlessness.

“Let’s go together,” said the Purple Wood God King after a moment’s consideration. “He must know something to have come to my Heavenly Wood Kingdom. There’s no point in hiding it.”

After a while.

"What brings the mighty Emperor to my Heavenly Wood Kingdom?" The Purple Wood God King and the Beast A Yu walked out one after the other.

With the protection of a Dao Enlightenment Ultimate Realm expert, the Purple Wood God King could speak with the Emperor on equal terms. He was not worried at all that Di Yan would try to take action; that would be nothing short of humiliation.

In terms of profound and mysterious methods, the Beast Ayu far surpasses the Emperor.

"What business do you have with the God King Meng Chuan in Cangyuan Kingdom?" Di Yan's condescending attitude was as if he were questioning a subject, which was entirely in line with his nature.

Di Yan was the first emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Having held a high position for a long time, it wasn't until Di Qing emerged that Di Yan's prominence was suppressed. However, Di Yan, together with Di Xi and Di Wu, were also very strong, making them the second largest force among the Emperors.

It was these three who joined forces and used the most insidious and cunning means to seize the secret treasure of the Emperor of Guixu and kill his clansmen.

Emperor Yan had little tolerance for others. His subordinate, the Divine King Zongfu, was too powerful, so he mobilized the entire Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to besiege and kill him, which resulted in the emergence of a Mother River Lord.

"What business does my Tianmu Kingdom have that I don't need to report to Your Majesty?" Zimu God King replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Ayu and I have other matters to attend to, so we won't keep Your Majesty any longer."

It was practically a direct message telling you to get lost.

With spacetime disordered, outsiders had no way of seeing what was happening here, and the Purple Wood God King didn't want the matter to spread.

"If I had known that I would have had A-Yu obfuscate the heavenly secrets and conceal the cause and effect when I met God King Meng Chuan, I would have had him secretly go there." God King Zi Mu had not expected that they could discuss such an important matter on their first meeting.

Based on his past experience, he planned to gradually build a relationship with Zhou Lin first, and then bring up serious matters after they had become more familiar with each other.

Di Yan immediately roared, "Purple Wood God King, don't think I don't know what you want with Meng Chuan. Are you plotting to seize the Heavenly Pillar Realm?"

Although he cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline, Di Yan's basic intelligence was still online. He knew that the Realm Beast A Yu and the Purple Wood God King had visited Cangyuan Kingdom, and even dismissed his subordinates during their conversation.

You can roughly guess what the other party wants to do.

“Di Yan, you, Di Xi, and Di Wu are all cultivators of the Hunyuan bloodline.” Zi Mu God King said calmly, “Your will has not surpassed the God King level. In front of Meng Chuan God King, you are probably no different from Lord Lan Duo.”

The reason he wanted to seize the Heavenly Pillar Realm from Zhou Lin was because he knew that the emperors of the two ancient kingdoms were simply unstoppable by their monarchs.

Those with pure Hunyuan bloodline dare not come.

"Are you threatening the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom?" Di Yan roared. "Give me the remains that the Beast King obtained from exploring the Heavenly Pillar Realm. I can exchange them for a God Emperor-level treasure. If you don't agree, I will tell Di Qing!"

"roll!"

The Beast Ayu suddenly roared, its endless aura of destruction surging for billions of kilometers, as if the entire Origin World had been destroyed. It was a true ultimate realm of enlightenment.

If it weren't for the Primordial Bloodline and the God Emperor-level weapon, Di Yan would probably have been instantly killed by a World Beast King.

It should be noted that even an invincible being cannot kill someone at the ultimate level of the Enlightenment Stream.

However, any invincible being could slaughter most emperors like pigs on the Origin Continent, so the survival level of ultimate realm life forms is too weak.

boom!
The flames around Di Yan dimmed, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his Hunyuan bloodline surging within him, and he was almost unable to suppress his anger and attack.

Swish!Swish!
Two more figures descended: Emperor Wu and Emperor Xi, the two great emperors. Emperor Xi was Emperor Yan's wife, while Emperor Wu and Emperor Yan were like siblings.

The three emperors joined forces, and their terrifying aura actually suppressed the Beast Ayu.

"The three great emperors have come to my Tianmu Kingdom; they truly think highly of us." The Purple Wood God King said calmly, "Ayu, contact the Mengchuan God King and have him come over."

Emperor Yan, who originally intended to force the Purple Wood God King, changed his expression drastically upon hearing Zhou Lin's name, as he had cultivated the Hunyuan Bloodline to the ultimate level.

Given how Lord Lan Duo fared in front of Zhou Lin, I believe they will suffer the same fate.

Swish!
Emperor Yan immediately used his skills to leave with his wife and sister.

The more domineering they were just moments ago, the more pathetic they are now running away. The name Meng Chuan is like a raging flood to them, extremely intimidating.

He left only a divine thought to utter a harsh threat: "Purple Wood God King, your Heavenly Wood Kingdom can expect to be wiped off the face of the earth!"

The Purple Wood God King's expression remained completely unchanged, showing no concern for Emperor Yan's threat. So what if he was an emperor? If pushed too far, he would dare to follow Zhou Lin's example and risk all his territory, letting A Yu assassinate him from behind.

He is a ruthless hero who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and he established a first-class power on the Origin Continent. Besides the Beast Ayu, his own courage is also a major factor.

If he were truly a useless person, even a Beast King wouldn't necessarily have the courage to establish such a first-class force.

"Go to Cangyuan Kingdom. Order God King Mengchuan to set off now," said God King Zimu. "Emperor Yan will definitely inform Emperor Qing and Emperor Ming to take action."

Zhou Lin was fully aware of what was happening in Tianmu Kingdom. He had learned a technique called "Seeing the Secrets of Heaven" from the "Cause and Effect" inheritance.

When this move is used, the secrets of one's own karma are so profound that unless a world beast of ultimate realm personally obscures them, nothing can be hidden from him.

"Brother Earth, Emperor Guixu, notify the others that it's almost time to prepare to depart." Zhou Lin didn't care about the plans being disrupted and immediately sent a message to the gods under his command.

……

At this moment, Di Yan had already arrived in Qingdu, outside the gate of Di Qing Palace.

This place is extremely secluded, and no one dares to be presumptuous here. Even people like Di Yan have to stand respectfully outside the hall and wait for Di Qing.

"Please inform Di Qing," Di Yan said politely to the puppet creature. "I have important matters to report regarding the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom."

"Come in," came Di Qing's voice from inside the palace.

Due to timeline issues, Di Qing is not currently in seclusion and is even willing to take the time to meet Di Yan.

Inside the palace, a red table stood, and Di Qing sat in the main seat, looking down at Di Yan. Di Yan, who considered himself superior, was incredibly humble at this moment, clearly placing himself in a lower position than Di Qing.

Di Yan hurriedly said, "Di Qing, God King Meng Chuan, and the Beast King of the Tianmu Kingdom are currently heading to the Tianzhu Realm. We are all of the Hunyuan Bloodline and dare not intercept them."

"Let them go. There are countless ruins in the Heavenly Pillar Realm. It doesn't matter if they take some." Di Qing, dressed in a green robe, was very dashing and had a somewhat otherworldly air about him.

"Di Qing! The Heavenly Pillar Realm has always been a treasure land monopolized by our two ancient kingdoms. Our ancestors repeatedly issued orders and even dispatched emperors to garrison it for a long time!"

Di Yan said with extreme anxiety, "For countless years, the Heavenly Pillar Realm has never allowed outsiders to enter, not even the rulers of the myriad realms. How dare a mere Beast King or a God King?"

Di Qing merely glanced up at him.

With just one glance, Di Yan felt that Di Qing had seen through all his deepest thoughts, and he felt extremely uneasy.

"I understand." Di Yan gritted his teeth and took his leave. The gap between him and Di Qing was too great. They were on completely different levels, both in terms of strength and mindset.

After leaving the Imperial Green Palace, Di Yan thought long and hard, and finally could only go to Di Ming.

However, they were told that Emperor Ming was currently outside the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

……

"God King Meng Chuan, this is an ultimate weapon, a treasure related to cause and effect. This one is related to the world, and there is another one related to space. I don't know if we can use them."

When the Purple Wood God King came to see Zhou Lin, he naturally brought several ultimate God King level weapons, but he did not bring any secret treasures related to the soul.

There are actually quite a few paths to the soul, such as the Path of the Heart, the Path of the Soul Fire, and the Path of the Void Realm, which has a large number of practitioners, but the Origin Continent, this source world, has never had one before.

Although the primordial ancestor cultivates in a virtual world, he also loves the real world and even wants to combine the virtual and the real, but that is a dead end.

"Thank you, Purple Wood God King. Let's set off now." Zhou Lin personally took action, using the Cloak of Illusion to confuse the heavenly secrets and obscure all cause and effect.

On this trip to the Heavenly Pillar Realm, Zhou Lin brought all his subordinates at the second level of the God King realm. As for the invincible first-level God King realm, their strength was still too weak.

Swish!
Zhou Lin manipulated the celestial phenomena and performed a large-scale void teleportation, instantly traversing nearly half of the Origin Continent with the God Kings, arriving at the entrance to the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

The Void Path is indeed incredibly powerful in terms of travel.

The entrance is a desolate wasteland, utterly desolate, devoid of any trace of life. The earth is cracked, and not a single breeze blows, as if it has been lonely for billions of years.

Above them was a distorted spacetime, unlike the Broken Tooth Mountains, the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Pillar Realm was not very large.

The Broken Tooth Mountains alone occupy the territory of several ancient Xiafeng kingdoms.

The outer perimeter of Tianzhu Realm is much smaller, but there are a total of thirty-six entrances, distributed in different areas.

"Meng Chuan God King, Beast King? And Zi Mu God King, Earth God King! My Gods!"

There are thirty-six entrances to the Heavenly Pillar Realm. The one in charge of guarding this entrance is the guest god-king of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, Mo Feng, who immediately notified the monarch.

"The God King Meng Chuan has arrived?!" The monarch in charge of guarding the area was also shocked when he received the news. He was not of the Thunder Primordial Bloodline, and he was so frightened that he wanted to notify Monarch Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiaojun is currently in seclusion recuperating, as Zhou Lin's move back then had damaged his very life essence.

Swish!
A figure flashed into view in an instant. It was not Di Xuan, who was in charge of guarding the Heavenly Pillar Realm, but Di Ming, the second strongest emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom!
Di Ming stood with his hands behind his back. The entire wasteland seemed to cease to exist as he stood there. The world revolved around him, and all things submitted to him. He was countless times more terrifying than Di Yan.

While both cultivate the Hunyuan bloodline, Di Ming is the one who has the potential to become a fully realized God Emperor.

As for other emperors and monarchs, their fate was basically that of cattle and horses.

Even the supreme Emperor of the Origin World could only wash dishes in the Holy Realm.

"God King Mengchuan," Di Ming spoke, his words carrying boundless majesty, causing the heavens and earth to rumble, and the other God Kings dared not utter a sound.

Swish!
Emperor Xuan, who was in charge of guarding the area, also arrived. He looked at Emperor Guixu with a very complicated expression, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

This was the first time the master and disciple had met again after their reincarnation.

"Di Ming..." Before Di Xuan could finish speaking, Di Ming interrupted him, saying, "I have no interest in guarding the place. God King Meng Chuan, I'd like to try out your soul techniques."

He was unwilling to antagonize Zhou Lin.

Although Emperor Ming was aloof, he revered beast taming and honed his mind and will to an extremely terrifying degree, which enabled him to excavate the Hunyuan bloodline to such an extent.

"Can I go in and come out to try again?" Zhou Lin didn't have any ill feelings towards Di Ming. It was extremely difficult for the other party to emerge from the miniature universe and eventually become an emperor.

"No."

Di Ming shook his head: "You can use it now. After you use it, I will stand by your side. Anyone who tries to stop you is going against me."

"?..."

Zhou Lin was stunned. How could Di Ming, with such an arrogant personality, actually cultivate and invest in the Great Dao of Origin? He even planned to give Luo Feng the Beast-Taming Diagram and allow Luo Feng to have a place to cultivate in the Infinite Space.

Investing in both him and Luo Feng broadened their horizons.

"Di Ming!!" Di Xuan said anxiously, "Tianzhu Realm is a precious place that the Ancestor ordered to be stationed there. How can we let them enter like this?"

The problem is that Di Xuan also has the Hunyuan bloodline, so he dares not step forward to intercept him. Even if he had not fallen into the Eternal Night, he would still be no match for the World Beast A Yu after his strength was reduced.

"I don't need you to teach me what to do or how to do it," Di Ming said coldly. He was somewhat similar to Di Qing, and had long since stopped taking the struggles within the Origin World seriously.

no point.

Emperor Ming himself possesses invincible power; most other emperors who fight him will be completely killed.

As for letting people into the sacred land, would the ancestor blame him?

That's even more of a joke. Zhou Lin's strength and potential are more than enough to qualify him to be a leader in the future, and he might even surpass the founders of both countries.

As for the so-called need for unity among the emperors at critical moments, in Di Ming’s eyes, none of that is as important as his own cultivation path. How much can the Flame Wind Ancestor help him in the future?
Once Di Ming leaves the Origin World, he works as a waiter and odd-job man to earn Origin Crystals, and even the Ancestor Yan Feng won't care whether he lives or dies.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Lin clapped his hands and cheered: "Good! Di Ming, among the many emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, you are quite a figure. I will now use the Eternal Night Realm to let you experience it in detail!"
