Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 228 Befriending Emperor Ming
Zhou Lin also developed a slight liking for Emperor Ming.

He admired pure people, like Di Ming. As for idiots like Di Yan and Di Yuan, whose minds were filled with the Chaos Origin Bloodline, Zhou Lin couldn't even be bothered to look at them.

It's not worth worrying about.

"Eternal night has fallen!"

The familiar darkness quietly spread, instantly engulfing the Emperor Ming. From the outside, this Eternal Night Realm was only a few hundred billion kilometers in diameter.

But inside lies an infinitely vast darkness.

"That's the move that killed Lan Duo." Di Xuan was very wary. Emperors like them, whose willpower was not up to the level of a God Emperor, and whose cultivation of the Primordial Bloodline was not so complete, would most of them be killed if they encountered Zhou Lin.

In the Origin Continent, only the Thunder Primordial Bloodline is the most complete.

Di Ming stood in the darkness, curiously observing the surrounding illusion. The underlying logic of this move was the structure of the world branches in the virtual realm, with the other four branches each playing their respective roles.

The virtual world is not entirely real; it is a mixture of the real and the illusory.

Perhaps some darkness is real, while taking another step forward reveals nothingness; this is what creates an infinitely vast world that can cause people to be forever lost.

If it were to become completely real, Emperor Ming could destroy it with ease. It is precisely in this world that is both real and illusory that the emperors are baffled.

"Cultivating the Hunyuan Bloodline, he remained completely unfazed by my soul-soul technique. The will of a God Emperor is indeed formidable," Zhou Lin remarked.

The difference between a God Emperor and a God King is almost qualitative.

Even the ultimate realm of the Enlightenment Stream is completely crushed when facing an early-stage Bloodline God Emperor. Only by combining it with a supreme treasure and becoming an invincible being can it be matched.

The same applies to willpower.

"Please unleash all your attacks," Di Ming said confidently. "Let me experience just how powerful the soul technique that killed Lan Duo really is."

He stood in the darkness, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Lin's position. No matter how dark it was, it could not hide his brilliant mind. His will was like a guiding light, allowing Di Ming to see through the illusion.

Zhou Lin immediately caused the Eternal Night Realm to erupt completely, and countless illusions instantly filled Di Ming's mind, with desire, illusion, and soul all emerging at the same time.

This move, at most, would weaken the strength of a normal second-level Enlightenment God King, or, like the Wrathful Universe God King, it could be countered by spending time figuring out a way to break it.

But for the Emperor of the Chaos Origin Bloodline, that would be an absolute killing move.

Desire and intoxication are not just directed at the emperors, but at the bloodline within them. In terms of resistance, these emperors are far less resilient than the natives of the Broken Tooth Mountains.

The indigenous people naturally possess the Hunyuan bloodline, while the Emperor had to find a way to integrate it himself. Normally, to cultivate the Hunyuan bloodline, one must at least reach the ultimate level of enlightenment.

At the very least, it must be the will of a divine emperor like Di Ming.

boom!
Di Ming did not resist. He came to Zhou Lin to hone his skills with the help of soul techniques, and entered the infinite illusionary realm as he followed the attack.

If it were a deliberate confrontation, neither Lord Lei Xiao nor Lord Lei Fu would be affected by Zhou Lin, let alone Emperor Ming, whose will was at the God Emperor level.

"The night is endless." Di Ming was extremely satisfied with the illusion that Zhou Lin had used, because no one else on the entire Origin Continent could do this.

Even if Emperor Ming were not on guard, the illusions cast by those god-kings would be too fake for him to see through easily.

However, Zhou Lin's illusion is essentially a virtual world. In his eyes, the creatures in the virtual world are all living beings, and they can descend into reality by paying a price.

The blood in his body began to boil, but it was easily suppressed in the face of Di Ming's terrifying mental will, and could not cause any trouble.

Emperor Ming languished in the Eternal Night Realm for countless years, experiencing countless reincarnations, rising from lowly to noble, from ordinary to glorious, tasting all the bitterness and sweetness of human life, ultimately succumbing to its allure through the most realistic illusions. What are powerful illusions? They are those that can communicate with the most direct desires of a person's heart.

Di Ming realized that his will had been strengthened again, so he immediately opened his eyes and left the illusion. The darkness in front of him was dispelled by the light of his mind.

For him, whether he wanted to succumb or leave was just a matter of a single thought. An illusion that could make him feel troubled must at least be a unique skill created by the second level of the Void Realm Dao.

In the illusory world, countless cycles of reincarnation occur, while in reality, only half a minute has passed.

With a slight step, Di Ming left the endless darkness, his expression extremely peaceful and composed.

In the distance, Lord Lei Xiao, who witnessed this scene, was stunned. He, Lei Fu, and Lei Jin had all been unable to enter before, which was why Zhou Lin had managed to take away Lan Duo's corpse.

Unexpectedly, Di Ming was able to leave the Eternal Night Realm with just a casual step.

“Interesting.” Di Ming smiled and said, “I look forward to your illusion magic improving again, so that I can hone my mental will once more.”

After saying that, Di Ming looked up at Di Xuan and the others: "Now, God King Meng Chuan is going to enter the Heavenly Pillar Realm. Anyone who stops him is going against me, Di Ming!"

The voice was like thunder, as if it were proclaiming a decree!

Among the powerful figures on the Origin Continent, very few are capable of killing Emperor-level figures, but Di Ming is definitely one of them.

Moreover, he was too arrogant. Unless someone was helpful to his cultivation path, he didn't take any other emperors, gods, monarchs, or emperors seriously.

“Then, let’s go to the Heavenly Pillar Realm, Emperor Ming.” Zhou Lin also didn’t take the other guarding emperors and monarchs seriously; Emperor Xuan couldn’t stop him.

"It's so deceiving!"

Lord Lei Xiao roared, "When the Ancestor emerges from seclusion, he will utterly crush Cangyuan Kingdom! Anyone who dares to enter Tianzhu Realm today will die!"

The two ancient kingdoms have always regarded Tianzhu Realm as their backyard.

Now, people can freely enter their backyard, as if their dignity is being trampled on.

"In the vast Thunder Kingdom and Flame Wind Kingdom, is there truly no one who can stop God King Meng Chuan?" Monarch Lei Fu saw things very clearly.

The fact that Di Qing didn't come clearly meant that he tacitly approved of the matter.

If Emperor Ming is willing to help God King Meng Chuan, then even if all the other monarchs join forces, they cannot defeat him. Now, all we can do is quietly wait for the two progenitors to awaken.

Originating from the history of the continent, the story has become completely different from the original plot due to Zhou Lin's sudden appearance. He can't say for sure what will happen in the future.

……

Just as the group from Cangyuan Kingdom and Tianmu Kingdom were about to set off, a distorted space lay ahead. Entering it would allow them to reach the Heavenly Pillar Realm, but then another Emperor broke through the void and arrived.

The current ruling emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom: Emperor Husband.

He did not release any imperial aura; instead, he appeared extremely peaceful, looking just like an ordinary middle-aged man.

"God King Mengchuan, have you thought it through before going in?" Difu made no attempt to stop him. In his previous life, he cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline, but after reincarnation, he abandoned this path.

Therefore, he became more rational and more optimistic about investing in the original Tao.

"I dare to come, so I have nothing to fear." Zhou Lin knew what Emperor Fu meant. The Heavenly Pillar Realm was the most valued treasure land by the two ancestors, and anyone who dared to enter would be offending them.
