……
The Northern River Emperor ignored the thoughts of the beings within the world and focused all his attention on the battle with the Lord of Chaos City, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
"Compared to the beginning, my strength is still several levels weaker." The Great Emperor of the Northern River attacked the Lord of Chaos City with all his might, trying to create an opportunity for himself and his teammates.
However, the Chaos City Lord's realm was simply too high; even if they created an opportunity, they couldn't seize it.
Sometimes they would even be baited by the Lord of Chaos City, thus finding an opportunity to seize their weaknesses and launch a counterattack.
The greatest opportunity is to overpower others by force, relying on absolute power to crush the enemy.
Unfortunately, things are different now. Lu Yunhe's strength has gradually improved, and after not being crushed in the first wave, he has managed to hold on.
For Emperor Beihe, this was both good news and bad news.
The good news is that the Lord of Chaos City is fighting against three opponents, each of whom is weaker than he was at his peak.
The bad news is that the Lord of Chaos City actually managed to avoid immediate defeat.
Facing attacks from three late-stage Emperor-level experts, they actually withstood the pressure head-on, which is simply unparalleled in the entire Broken Tooth Mountain Range.
Although Emperor Beihe was very confident in his own strength, he did not think that he could withstand such a combined attack if he were placed in the position of the Lord of Chaos City.
But the Lord of Chaos City managed to do it, and was even unwilling to be suppressed, so he looked for another opportunity to counterattack.
"Damn Chaos City Lord, he's been hiding so well," Emperor Beihe cursed inwardly.
Some even doubted whether the Lord of Chaos City could pull out other trump cards to turn the tide if the battle came to a head.
Did he truly suppress the Chaos City Lord in the Blood Soul World back then? Or was the Lord already setting up a trap at that time?
"You can't think like that."
The moment this thought crossed his mind, it was immediately cut off by the Great Emperor of the Northern River. If he continued to think about it, his momentum would weaken.
Even if the Lord of Chaos City is incredibly powerful, he has already given it his all and has no way of having any trump cards left.
Losing the battle is not the end; if you lose even the confidence to win, then you have truly and utterly failed.
Emperor Beihe really didn't want to add any more pressure to himself. At this moment, he only had one thought: to defeat the Lord of Chaos City and obtain the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl.
"I refuse to believe that your mental strength, Lord of Chaos, is inexhaustible. Let's see how long you can hold out." Emperor Beihe gritted his teeth.
He didn't believe that the Chaos City Lord's essence could withstand such an intense battle, after all, the essence of cultivators is notoriously weak.
Although the Lord of Chaos City is very strong, if we disregard the enhancements such as realm secret techniques, in terms of the essence of his divine body alone, he is probably not as strong as the divine generals under his command.
The Northern River Emperor was right. The impact of such a full-force burst on Lu Yunhe was not only mental, but also at the level of material origin.
Each time the divine weapon is wielded, it consumes a great deal of primordial energy.
Lu Yunhe had to maintain the power of the divine weapon while also controlling every bit of the original energy, which meant he squeezed his soul and mental strength to the extreme.
The greatest pressure comes from within, followed by dealing with the attacks from the Northern River Emperor.
As for the Fire Emperor, as a low-level Chaos Origin life form, what he is most proud of is his talent and vitality.
Although their own strength was not weak, they were full of flaws in Lu Yunhe's eyes.
Lu Yunhe has already killed four Hunyuan Great Saints in succession, and he has killed even more ordinary Hunyuan beings. He can handle them all with ease.
Not to mention that he subtly controls the five elements of chaos, and also has some restraint over talents of the void and chaos type.
Unless the Fire Emperor's realm is high enough, every move he makes will be restrained by him.
"Damn cultivators!"
The Fire Emperor was very frustrated. The surging tide, mixed with the power of the immovable mountain rocks, made it impossible for his flames to burn.
He had fought countless battles since establishing his authority, even against the Supreme Being, but he had never fought so humiliatingly, always feeling like he couldn't unleash his full power.
The raging flames were suppressed by the power of the mountain rocks as soon as they were lit, and were extinguished by the continuous power of the tide as they tried to ignite everything around them.
"The power of that Stone Emperor guy."
The Fire Emperor sensed an extremely familiar power within it. As a Chaos Origin Lifeform, it was utterly unacceptable that it had fallen to the point of becoming the power of another.
"I absolutely will not allow it," the Fire Emperor roared in his heart.
The stronger the Chaos City Lord performed, the more intense the Fire Emperor's fighting spirit became.
There was nothing they could do; the other side was determined to turn it into a divine weapon and wouldn't accept any of its compromises.
In this situation, the Fire Emperor didn't have many options left.
"Kill the Chaos City Lord's clone, seize the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl, and head to the Serpent Fang Corridor."
The Fire Emperor's resolve was unwavering; his massive body radiated boundless heat like the sun, drawing the attention of everyone else.
That blazing body was like a second sun in the Northern River World.
"Lord of Chaos City, die!"
The Fire Emperor roared, drawing countless primordial energies from beyond the void, which swirled around him like halos.
As the flames spread out, a tangible heat wave emanated from the surrounding void.
Energy and matter, flames and void—the Fire Emperor also fully unleashed his innate power, with the laws of nature and the material foundation complementing each other.
"Hmph, if anger were useful, what would be the point of cultivation?"
Seeing this, Lu Yunhe was not afraid at all. Although he was not weak, he was just an ordinary Hunyuan life form.
Even in the rage of anger, it might only amplify the ferocity of one's attacks, not double one's strength with a single roar.
"Anger isn't enough!"
Lu Yunhe smiled inwardly. His soul attack was not just about annihilation, but also included branches such as illusion and desire.
The most foolish thing to do in front of a spiritual master is to show emotional fluctuations; it's simply creating a flaw for yourself.
The best approach is to go to extremes; the purer one's mind and will, the harder it is to influence others.
This difficulty is not just about weakening strength, but can affect every aspect of the attack.
"Spirit-Suppressing Blade!"
With a single slash, Lu Yunhe, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, shattered the halo surrounding the Fire Emperor and separated it from its body.
Then the Fire Emperor let out a cry, and as if bathing in the golden crow, he plunged into the tide of sword energy.
If the Northern River Emperor leans more towards a contest of strength and realm, then the Fire Emperor's side is a clash of various rule attributes.
As for the Twenty-Four Divine Generals, Lu Yunhe's clones simultaneously used the Void Diagram and the Chaos Origin Golden Bucket to compete with their grand formation, which was enough to easily deal with them.
The twenty-four divine generals used the power of their own bloodline origin as the core to condense into star-shaped mythical beasts.
Although the power was condensed into one, it was condensed in the form of an array, which has significant flaws.
Lu Yunhe used the supreme treasure as the core, connecting with the power of the supreme primordial rules, and focused on attacking the weaknesses of the divine generals, leaving them completely overwhelmed.
With minimal effort, the twenty-four generals dared not separate due to the threat posed by the Lord of Chaos City. Even when they sensed an opportunity, they dared not seize it.
They are only a threat when they unite as one.
If they separate even slightly, or if a weakness is discovered, then it will be dangerous.
Before this battle, the Great Emperor of the Northern River had already given instructions that these people did not seek merit, but rather to achieve nothing.
Or rather, their greatest achievement was diverting some of the Chaos City Lord's power; they didn't need to worry about anything else, only how to save their own lives.
It must be said that the combined power of the twenty-four divine generals was not something that even Lu Yunhe could easily ignore, especially since he had missed the initial opportunity to defeat them one by one.
With the Northern River Emperor and the Fire Emperor holding the line, Lu Yunhe has little chance to break through their obstruction and spend time killing the divine generals.
The Northern River Emperor, the Fire Emperor, and the Twenty-Four Divine Generals, three distinct forces, joined together to completely suppress Lu Yunhe.
At this moment, Lu Yunhe was like a wild beast in a cage, struggling desperately and doing his best to cope with the pressure from the three parties.
"The void gives rise to the five elements, and the five elements transform into the void!"
Although it lacks a fire-attribute Void Divine Weapon, under the rules of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, even if one part is missing, the Void Five Elements can still operate.
Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.
Wood overcomes Earth, Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire, Fire overcomes Metal, and Metal overcomes Wood!
The five elements interact with each other, generating and restraining each other. Every collision and fusion reveals a part of the properties of emptiness.
The Five Elements and the Void may seem to be partially integrated, but they still possess their own unique characteristics.
Despite the pressure from the three forces of the Northern River Emperor, Lu Yunhe remained calm and unconcerned about the impending crisis. Instead, he focused on removing external pressure to force the evolution of the Hunyuan Five Elements.
After all, what's here is just an avatar. Even if all the treasures are lost, he still has strength comparable to the late-stage Emperor level, so the margin for error is too high.
The Northern River Emperor and his allies on the other side were also aware of this, so they acted without hesitation, wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"The Primordial Five Elements, the Primordial Void!"
Lu Yunhe's hand movements kept changing. Although his three heads and six arms seemed to be divided into three parts by his mind and strength, they were still a whole.
The power of the Five Elements and the Void is completely fused into one, and tempered under extreme internal and external pressure.
The Black Emperor Tide Banner, the Mulberry Emperor Giant Wood Hammer, the Five Mountains Spirit-Suppressing Blade, and the Immortal-Slaying Heaven-Severing Sword—these four primordial divine weapons constantly alternated in Lu Yunhe's hands, displaying various transformations.
Lu Yunhe applied all the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements to the Northern River Emperor and the Fire Emperor.
The Five Elements have endless variations and various attack methods, which made Emperor Beihe and others very uncomfortable for a time.
Fortunately, they had done a lot of research on cultivators, especially the Great Emperor of the Northern River, who made many thorough preparations.
No matter how ever-changing you may be, I will remain steadfast and unmoved.
You fight your way, I'll fight mine. With so many of us together, I don't believe we can't outlast you.
No matter what moves the Lord of Chaos City used, the Great Emperor of the Northern River chose to confront him head-on, not caring if he suffered some injuries himself, but determined to wear down his opponent.
If the Northern River Emperor loses a little, his companions can still hold on, but if the Chaos City Lord loses even a little, there is nowhere to recover.
"Lord of Chaos City, accept your fate. The Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl is mine."
The Northern River Emperor hardened his heart, and each move he made was like a celestial river falling, vast and mighty, wanting to swallow up all obstacles in his path.
The Lord of Chaos City is like a reef in the ocean, no matter how turbulent the waves are, he has to go against the current.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out." The Great Emperor of Beihe snorted coldly.
Since joining forces with the Fire Emperor, there has been no room for reconciliation between him and the Lord of Chaos City. Having paid such a high price, he is determined to obtain the Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl.
