Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Yelang Kingdom.

This was an insignificant little country located in the buffer zone between the Myriad Realms Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, but it happened to be included in the territory of Luo Shen's Huaxia Empire.

"The territory ruled by the Iron Fierce Demon Lord is already in a mess. If this continues, it might even affect my Yelang Kingdom."

The King of Yelang sat there, swallowing a crystal sphere with a single gulp. Inside the sphere were imprisoned hundreds of millions of living beings. He mumbled incoherently, "I finally managed to accumulate so many merit points to exchange for the right to rule this territory. If this affects me, I'll be at a huge loss."

The ruler of Yelang was a guest minister of the ancient kingdom of Leiting.

Because he completely pledged allegiance to the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, he also obtained a decent Hunyuan bloodline. However, lacking cultivation resources, he had no choice but to turn his attention to blood food. He used the merit points he had painstakingly accumulated to ask a royal god-king of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom to help him take over the territory of this third-rate kingdom.

With such a vast territory teeming with life, there is enough food to sustain him.

Because he was a guest minister of the Thunder Kingdom and a friend of a lord from the neighboring Myriad Realms Kingdom, the King of Yelang was not too worried that changes in the outside world would affect his position. He was only worried that the battles would affect his territory and reduce his blood offerings.

As for the powerful man in black robes, he paid him no attention.

That black-robed powerhouse was such a high and mighty figure, how could he possibly be interested in a mere guest elder of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom? Moreover, compared to those great sinners, he was only consuming blood food in moderation within his own country, which was already considered quite restrained.

however.

When an invisible force enveloped him, the King of Yelang realized how terribly wrong he had been.

"Spare me—"

The moment the King of Yelang begged for mercy, his divine body and soul had completely melted away, becoming part of the power within his Abyss clone.

"belch!"

The Abyss clone let out a satisfied burp.

A god-king level food that has cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline and unearthed a lot of potential, and is consumed by both the divine body and soul, is a rare food even for an abyss avatar at the peak of the god-king level.

Of course, the King of Yelang was not the most delicious food that the Abyss Avatar had eaten within this territory.

After all, there are quite a few God-King level experts who have cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline in this territory, especially the Black Vulture Ancestor. Although he dared not let his true body leave Thunder Mountain, he still had clones. His clones naturally became one of the most delicious foods for the Abyss clones.

When the Black Vulture Ancestor's clone was devoured, the Black Vulture Ancestor initially thought that the black-robed expert had launched a surprise attack.

However, he discovered that his clone had been devoured by a powerful figure!

have eaten!?

The Black Vulture Ancestor was somewhat bewildered. Which ancient powerhouse was so indiscriminate in his hunger? His Hunyuan bloodline contained a deadly poison. Even a monarch-level powerhouse would be harmed by his poison. Otherwise, he could not have occupied the top ten of the Great Sinners of the Origin Continent for countless years, let alone occupy such a vast territory.

Moreover, the Black Vulture Ancestor discovered that his clone was instantly annihilated after being swallowed, and his other clones were even more severely killed by an invisible curse!

If it weren't for the isolation provided by Thunder Mountain, the Black Vulture Ancestor would have perished without any resistance, just like when he faced the will-based attack from the black-robed powerhouse. It can be said that if he hadn't been so cautious, all the major sinners among the idle cultivators of the Origin Continent would have perished!

Apart from this Black Vulture Ancestor, all the other God-Kings within this territory who were targeted by the Abyss Avatars have completely perished!

After all, this was an attack by a peak-level world beast!

A series of god-kings fell.

This news quickly caused a huge uproar on the Origin Continent, and the commotion was no less than that caused by the black-robed powerhouse killing Di Yuan, after all, this time more than ten God Kings had fallen in one fell swoop.

Among them, there are two at the third level of the God King realm, and as many as five at the second level of the God King realm!

Moreover, no one knows whether these fallen god-kings were reincarnated or completely perished. It should be noted that the number of god-kings on the entire Origin Continent is barely over a thousand. The fact that one percent of them died at once has indeed made the other god-kings feel somewhat uneasy.

No one knows if they will be the next to fall.

Fortunately.

The Abyss Avatar's actions were not intended to unleash a cataclysmic disaster, but rather to fulfill the mission assigned by the true body and bring this territory completely under its control. Therefore, after killing more than ten sinful God-Kings in one fell swoop, it ceased its actions.

He created dozens of clones in one go, sending them to meet the God-Kings who had not yet fled this territory.

As for those god-kings whose sins were not serious and who voluntarily chose to leave, the abyss avatar did not waste its energy searching for them, but let them leave safely.

Yunlan Kingdom, capital city.

The successive fall of the god-kings of the surrounding Eternal Kingdoms made God-King Yunlan very uneasy. However, her strength was only average, and it was already a great difficulty for her to establish herself in this territory. In addition, her clan had been multiplying for countless years and had long been closely connected with this territory.

They cannot relocate in the short term.

The fate of the weak is always dominated by the strong; what choice do they have?

Just as the God-King Yunlan was feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, darkness enveloped the entire capital, accompanied by a powerful aura. A towering figure clad in a full set of gleaming silver armor appeared before the Cloud Mist God-King, his cold gaze falling upon her through the mask.

Compared to the aura of the other party, the Cloud Mist God King felt as weak as a lone boat bobbing up and down on the vast ocean.

There is a risk of being flooded at any time.

The God-King Yunlan hurriedly bowed respectfully, his posture extremely humble: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

She is very smart.

The Cloud Mist God King knew that since such a great being had descended and appeared before him, revealing her true form instead of directly swallowing her along with the entire Cloud Mist Kingdom, it was clear that she did not intend to harm her.

As the Abyss Avatar slowly spoke, the Cloud Mist God King became even more certain of his thoughts.

"My master intends to unify the more than nine hundred Chaos Provinces surrounding this area."

The Abyss Avatar stared at the Cloud Mist God King without any emotion in its gaze, its voice like two cold metal objects clashing: "Your Cloud Mist Kingdom happens to be within this territory. Given the sins you have committed, you do not deserve to die, so I can give you two choices."

"First, pledge allegiance to my lord; second, leave immediately, and I can grant you a reprieve."

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Mist God-King's heart pounded wildly. Such a terrifying being was merely a servant of some powerful figure?! Could his master be that black-robed expert?!

Suppressing her fear and excitement, she tentatively asked, "May I ask who your master is?"

The God-King of Cloud Mist made a decision.

If the master of this terrifying being is indeed that black-robed powerhouse, she would risk her own fate and that of her entire clan to bind herself to his chariot.

That was a great being capable of killing Di Yuan!

Throughout the long history of the Origin Continent, only that black-robed powerhouse has been able to kill an Emperor or a Monarch-level being!

Moreover, so far, the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom has not made any move and shows no sign of retaliation.

This alone is enough to explain a lot.

The Abyss Avatar stared intently at Goddess Yunlan, its icy gaze seemingly penetrating her entire being. Goddess Yunlan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. For a brief moment, she wondered if she had taken too much risks, putting herself and her people in dire straits.

Fortunately.

Ultimately, the Abyss clone made no move, but simply said, "As you think, my master is the black-robed powerhouse who just killed Di Yuan."

Really!

The God-King Yunlan was greatly encouraged, and without hesitation, he knelt on one knee, swearing allegiance to his Abyss Avatar: "Yunlan is willing to follow Your Majesty to the death!"

Similar conversations were simultaneously taking place in many areas within this territory.

Some of these god-kings chosen by the abyss avatars were cultivating in seclusion here, while others harbored ambitions and waited patiently for their opportunities. Still others were assigned by certain ambitious individuals and were patiently waiting for orders to be delivered.

Many of them possess strength comparable to that of the Emperor of Guixu and the God King of Wuxin.

Unfortunately, when faced with an Abyss Avatar at the peak of the God-King level, an Abyss Avatar whose aura was one with the Great Dao of Destruction, even beings at the third level of the God-King realm had to kneel before it, not daring to have the slightest thought of resistance.

Fortunately, the abyss clone also gave them two choices: follow or leave!

Most of the powerful individuals who can cultivate to the level of God King have their own ideas. If they want to join a certain force, whether it is the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom or the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, they will have a place.

However, they never joined, but instead remained in seclusion in this territory, clearly having their own ideas.

Therefore, when the Abyss Avatar presented two choices, most God-Kings chose to leave, and only a few weaker ones, such as God-King Yunlan, chose to submit to and follow the Abyss Avatar.

Regardless, the rule of this territory has already fallen into Luo Shen's hands.

Now we'll see how the two ancient kingdoms react.

Those departing god-kings became Luo Shen's mouthpieces for spreading this news. A transcendent power, comparable to the two ancient kingdoms, was rising in this territory!

"That black-robed man even had a servant who appeared to be at the peak of the God-King level!?"

"What exactly is the man in black trying to do? He's trying to seize such a large territory between the two ancient kingdoms. Is he planning to challenge them to a duel?!"

The news spread quickly.

All sides on the continent of origin are awaiting the reactions of the two ancient kingdoms.

After all, the territory of these nine hundred-plus Chaos Continents cannot be said to be too close to the two ancient kingdoms. They are practically adjacent to the territories of the two ancient kingdoms. Moreover, with such a large territory, it is the third largest super power in the Origin Continent.

How can I allow others to snore on my own bed!

Any ancient being would never allow such a situation to occur, but the scenario they imagined—the two ancient kingdoms uniting against this powerful force—did not materialize. Instead, a strange silence descended, and no one knew what the two ancient kingdoms were thinking.

Regardless of the reactions of the two ancient kingdoms, Luo Shen has begun to rapidly integrate these more than nine hundred Chaos Provinces and has selected a large city in the central core area of ​​the territory for large-scale expansion, in order to build a magnificent capital!

"Come with me."

In the most magnificent palace in the central area of ​​the capital, the Abyss Avatar was leading more than ten God-Kings under his command toward the depths of the palace. Since he had subdued them, he had not yet shown them his true form, so they must have felt somewhat uneasy.

So this time, the Abyss clone led them to see the real body.

After all, the reason why more than ten God-Kings, including God-King Yunlan, decided to follow Luo Shen was mainly because of the strength of the black-robed, golden-masked expert. Otherwise, who would be willing to join a country that is located between two ancient kingdoms?

There are risks, but also great opportunities!

They're gambling too!

Deep within the palace, a figure clad in a silver-white robe stood quietly, gazing up at the starry sky.

Not seeing the black-robed powerhouse they had imagined, the group of god-kings looked puzzled, and some even worried that they might have followed the wrong target.

Fortunately, the abyss clone in front of him bowed respectfully to Luo Shen and said, "Master!"

All the God-Kings were startled awake. Regardless of whether the other party was the black-robed powerhouse, to be addressed as "Master" by someone who appeared to be a peak God-King, their strength was definitely extraordinary. They immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Luo Shen then seemed to wake from a dream, turned his head, and looked at the group of god kings.

Wearing a long, form-fitting silver-white robe and a familiar golden mask, his imposing figure looked down at the assembled god-kings and said leisurely, "I don't care whether you genuinely want to join or are just trying to carve out a path for yourselves."

"Since you have chosen to join us, we are now family. As long as you do what you are supposed to do, I will not treat you unfairly, whether it is for inheritance, secret techniques or secret treasures and resources."

All the god-kings responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the name of the ruler, Luo Shen revealed a barely perceptible smile and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't told you the name of this eternal kingdom yet. Remember it well, from now on we will be—the Huaxia Empire!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Those two ancient kingdoms are long since decayed and corrupt, their glory days are numbered, while our Chinese Empire is on the rise and will surely surpass them in the future!"

Upon hearing Luo Shen's words, all the god-kings praised him.

The establishment of the Huaxia Empire also means that these helpless beings now have the right to compete normally with the royal families and god-kings of the two ancient kingdoms, especially under the leadership of the Huaxia ruler, their future is promising!

Luo Shen listened quietly.

The establishment of the Huaxia Empire is only the first step. Currently, the combined territories under his two identities exceed a thousand Chaos Provinces, which is much larger than the two ancient kingdoms. When he fully masters the secret method of integrating the ten branches of the Great Dao of Life and Death and his own realm truly reaches the peak of the God King level, he will choose to completely reveal his identity.

Only then will the Huaxia Empire and the Abyss Sect truly stand proudly on the Origin Continent.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with two ancient kingdoms.

even.

Surpassing two ancient kingdoms!

"boom!"

With a thought, the complete Nine Tribulations Body Realm True Body instantly spread out an endless river of blood, naturally affecting an infinitely vast area, radiating throughout the entire Chinese Empire. Above the more than nine hundred Chaos Provinces of the entire Chinese Empire, a vast river of blood could be faintly seen.

"From this day forward, the Chinese Empire is established!"

"The area covered by the Blood River is the territory and jurisdiction of my Chinese Empire!"

The endless river of blood surged and roared, its sound instantly resounding throughout every inch of the Huaxia Empire. Powerful figures from all sides of the Origin Continent turned to look at this place, and such a terrifying commotion made them realize something.

The third largest power on the Origin Continent has officially been born! (End of Chapter)
