Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 134 is the strongest secret technique for the soul, isn't it? Learn it!

Hu Yanbo was directly teleported back to the core of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance—the Glory Secret Realm.

They arrived directly in front of their teacher, the Lord of Desolation.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, a figure shrouded in dark purple lightning quickly approached and respectfully greeted them, "Master!"

Hu Yanbo glanced at him indifferently, thinking to himself, "Since Master has already resurrected King Lei Yu before the Nine Domains Alliance, my killing of Venerable Lei Sha is now completely worry-free."

With even this one and only flaw resolved, we can say we have no worries whatsoever!

The strong usually distinguish their identities by their life aura, which can only be remembered by seeing it with their own eyes, or by simulating it using a virtual universe. This can be considered a great advantage of the human race.

However, Hu Yanbo never revealed the aura of the Nine Netherworld clone, so even if the Nine Domains Alliance resurrected Thunder Fiend Venerable, it could only be regarded as a "wrongful conviction" of a thug!

Hu Yanbo nodded slightly, signaling Lei Yuwang to step back, and then entered the main hall.

Deep within the main hall, the Lord of Desolate Mirror, in his half-dragon, half-human form, opened his eyes: "Why did you decide to come see me?"

"Is there something else that requires my help, teacher?"

The Lord of the Wasteland's voice sounded somewhat pleased!

This was actually because he hoped that Huyanbo would bother him, his teacher, more.

Hu Yanbo's growth trajectory is too unique!

He has lived alone for six thousand epochs, and the help he received from the human race was as insignificant as that given to other ordinary powerful individuals.

The fact that we have truly formed a closer connection with human groups is only in the last ten thousand years!

Moreover, the investment the clan made in him (he and the Yuan Emperor each bestowed two supreme treasures upon him) and some minor nurturing were far inferior in quality to the astonishing opportunities (the 79th treasure and the first treasure) that Huyan Bo obtained from the Ancestral God Sect.

If that two-faced ancestral god of the Ancestral God Cult were to extend an olive branch, would Hu Yanbo be tempted?

After all, in the primordial universe, the strong possessed immense autonomy.

Faced with the mistreatment of one's own kind and the generous treatment of another, there have been many strong individuals in history who chose to switch allegiance.

As a high-ranking member of the human race, the Lord of the Wilderness had no choice but to take precautions.

Therefore, he was eager for Huyan Bodo to come to him for help, so as to create deeper conflicts of interest with the ethnic group.

Hu Yanbo bowed respectfully and replied, "Master, I have indeed come here to ask you for a favor."

"This disciple deeply feels the inadequacy of my own secret techniques, and therefore wishes to study the diagrams of the strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe," hoping to broaden my horizons, draw inferences from similar cases, and find direction for creating even stronger secret techniques of my own!

As soon as Huyan Bo finished speaking, he sat upright on the throne, his majestic face, half dragon and half human, instantly froze, and even showed a moment of blankness.

He was genuinely a bit bewildered!

If he weren't the master of the universe, with a soul and will so powerful that he couldn't possibly make such a basic mistake as auditory hallucination, he would almost doubt whether he had misheard!

To observe the most powerful secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?!

The higher the level of the secret arts, the more difficult they are to learn.

For an immortal god, no matter how heaven-defying the immortal, as long as they do not follow the path of the secret rune diagram, they can still understand the peak secret technique of the universe overlord by relying solely on incomplete superior laws.

It's fair to say he has the immense potential to become a cosmic overlord in the future!

The strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?

As for the path of the secret runes, apart from the Mountain-Sitting Guest and Huyan Bo, even the Ancestral God who was backed by the will of the Primordial Universe knew nothing about it.

"Has my disciple become blinded by his temporary achievements?"

"How could they have become so arrogant all of a sudden!" This was the only thought in the Lord of Desolation's mind at the moment.

The Lord of the Wilderness instinctively wanted to ask, even with a hint of reprimand, to tell Huyan Bo to be down-to-earth and not to let temporary achievements go to his head.

However, before he could even speak—

Standing below, Hu Yanbo seemed to have anticipated the teacher's reaction.

He didn't offer any further explanation, but instead his eyes narrowed, and an invisible, intangible soul strike gently slashed towards the direction of the Lord of Desolation!

After the strike, the Lord of the Desolate Mirror was stunned again.

He was stunned, not because Hu Yanbo's soul attack had injured him—the Lord of Desolate Mirror was an extremely powerful being among the Lords of the Universe, otherwise he would not have been able to establish one of the five major powers of the human race!

Even with Hu Yanbo's full-force soul attack, he couldn't budge him in the slightest.

He was stunned because he sensed the level of the attack from it!

This attack is clearly at the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord!

"How can this be a top-tier cosmic overlord?"

"From enslaving King Feijing to now, in just a few days, what earth-shattering changes have occurred in my disciple?!" A monstrous wave surged in the heart of the Lord of Desolate Mirror, his dragon eyes fixed on Huyan Bo, as if trying to see through him inside and out.

"Has he broken through to the Universe Venerable realm?"

"But even if he breaks through to the Universe Venerable realm, according to the information I've obtained, my disciple, upon reaching the Venerable realm, only possesses the combat power of an ordinary Universe Overlord!"

"How could he be a top-tier cosmic overlord?!"

The Lord of the Wilderness is absolutely certain that Huyanbo has broken through to the Venerable level!

Nonsense! Without breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, how could an Immortal possibly possess the strength of a top-tier Universe Overlord?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The Lord of Desolation's vast, star-like mind was currently undergoing intense processing due to this phenomenon that exceeded the scope of his understanding, attempting to find a reasonable explanation.

How was he able to break through to the Venerable level so quickly?

Why can someone become a top-tier overlord with just one breakthrough?

Two mysteries had been troubling the Lord of the Wasteland, but his inability to find an explanation caused a brief stagnation in his thinking.

However, all the calculations ultimately amounted to nothing more than a sigh filled with endless regret.

"The vastness and mystery of the primordial universe are truly unfathomable. Even we, the masters of the universe, who believe ourselves to be at the pinnacle of the universe, are still like frogs at the bottom of a well when faced with the true mysteries of this boundless starry sky."

There are just too many things that I can't see through or understand!

However, the Lord of the Wasteland forcibly suppressed the curiosity and confusion churning in his heart the next moment!

Because he knew perfectly well that there was something a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than satisfying his personal curiosity—that was how to properly handle the needs of the disciple before him!

"The fourth! My little disciple is already the fourth top cosmic overlord of our human race!" Lord of Desolate Mirror was overjoyed.

According to the common sense of power structure in the universe, within a power, the number of universe masters and top universe overlords should be roughly the same.

Like the Ancestral God Cult, which gathers a large number of special life forms, there are even more top-tier cosmic overlords.

However, the human race is an exception—it has more than a dozen powerful cosmic lords, but over the long years, only three have become true top cosmic overlords!

The fundamental reason lies in the relatively weak foundation of the human race itself.

This makes it far more difficult for human powerhouses to reach the level of "top cosmic overlord" at the Venerable stage than for other races.

Now, Hu Yanbo has stepped into this level in such an unbelievable way, becoming the fourth top cosmic overlord of the human race!

And this also marks the first time that the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has finally had its own top-tier cosmic overlord!

This will undoubtedly greatly enhance the voice and influence of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance within the five major human powers!

Therefore, all the incomprehension and all the unbelievable things become unimportant at this moment!

The important thing is the result!

The important thing is that Huyanbo is human!

He is the disciple of the Lord of Desolation!

Our attitude must change!

Upgrade is a must!

The gaze of the Lord of the Wilderness towards Huyanbo gradually shifted from the scrutiny of a teacher towards a junior to a more equal and respectful one!

"My disciple, your request was excellent! Absolutely correct!"

"Secret techniques are part of strength!"

A proud smile appeared on the face of the Lord of Desolation: "As your humble master, after so many years as the Lord of the Universe, I have only created three of the strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe that I can be proud of!"

As the founder of the "Cosmic Mercenary Alliance," one of the five major human powers, Lord of Desolation has already reached the fourth level of the Cosmic Lord, making him a top-tier fighter within the human race.

In the original work, figures like the Lord of Flint and the Lord of Mad Mantis, who were only third-order universe masters, have created their own strongest secret techniques.

Given the accumulated knowledge and talent of the Lord of Desolation, it is perfectly normal for him to create several of the strongest secret techniques among the Lords of the Universe.

"Teacher, I'd like to ask if any of your most powerful secret techniques from the universe's rulers include soul attacks?"

Hu Yanbo inquired.

The reason why Hu Yanbo prioritized asking about soul attack techniques was not because he didn't need powerful physical attack methods.

Instead, he had learned from the Lord of the Wasteland that many cosmic overlords from the three top races—the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race—were secretly lurking around him, eager to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Once these hegemons take action, they are likely to launch a coordinated attack.

In this situation, although material attacks are powerful, they can usually only target one target at a time.

Putting aside whether his instantaneous burst of power could kill one of the overlords, even if he did kill the others, they would most likely immediately gather together to resist when things go wrong, and then flee.

Kill one?

It looks pretty good. For many cosmic overlords, they have never had the record of killing an overlord of the same level in their entire lives.

But for Huyanbo, this is far from enough!

He was being targeted so repeatedly. If he couldn't teach them a painful and unforgettable lesson, these hostile forces would just be like annoying hyenas, taking a short break after each defeat before coming back again, leaving him with no peace!

What he wants is not to repel, but to intimidate!

The goal is to inflict excruciating pain on the enemy, so much so that the mere thought of the consequences of provoking Huyanbo makes their very soul tremble!

To achieve this, large-scale, highly efficient soul attacks are undoubtedly the best option!

If one can unleash a soul attack with wide coverage and extremely strong penetrating power, it is entirely possible to severely injure or even annihilate the divine bodies of multiple cosmic overlords before the opponent can react!

Furthermore, the advantage of soul attacks is that among the universe's overlords, those who possess soul defense treasures are extremely rare!

Consider this: even a powerful being like the Unity Venerable of the human race doesn't possess a supreme treasure for soul defense, though this is because the Lord of Chaos City values ​​fairness.

The Lord of Chaos City had the ability to give, but refrained from doing so because he valued fairness!

So, what about other ethnic groups?

"How many of those universe lords are as wealthy as the Lord of Chaos City?"

The value of a Soul Defense Treasure is among the highest and rarest of all treasures!

Even the most ordinary ones cost dozens of treasure points. Would an ordinary universe lord give them away to his disciples without batting an eye?

Moreover, not all the teachers of the cosmic overlords are cosmic lords from the pinnacle of their races!

Many overlords' teachers may simply be cosmic lords of powerful races.

As for why Hu Yanbo was able to obtain it, it was naturally the result of various reasons. Otherwise, even if the Lord of the Wilderness Protects His Disciple, he wouldn't have given away a soul defense treasure.

However, as soon as Hu Yanbo finished speaking, the proud expression on the face of the Lord of Desolation, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, froze instantly, and then slowly returned to normal, like a punctured balloon.

He coughed lightly, a rare, almost imperceptible hint of embarrassment flashing across his dignified face: "Ahem, my disciple, you know that at the level of us universe lords, who doesn't possess a supreme treasure that guards their soul?"

"And once a soul attack is defended against, its threat is greatly reduced."

"If a universe master relies too much on soul attacks, his strength will be greatly reduced once his opponent defends against them and his own methods are limited."

"so...

'

Hu Yanbo knew from the change in the Lord of Desolation's expression that Old Deng no longer had the strongest secret technique for soul attacks!

All this roundabout explanation is simply to save face for the teacher.

"Master, I understand the principle that balance is necessary at the level of the universe's master. However, I feel that my comprehension in the art of soul attacks is particularly extraordinary, perhaps—"

Before Hu Yanbo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the actions of the Lord of Desolation.

The Lord of Desolation, sitting on the throne, seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his large, scale-covered hand and gestured towards Huyan Bo, interrupting him.

"Alright! Enough!" said the Lord of Desolate Mirror. "Who told you to be a once-in-a-billion-years talent of my Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, my most outstanding disciple!"

"Since you've decided that the path of soul attacks suits you, then I'll support you to the end! Isn't it just the strongest secret technique of the universe's ruler, a soul attack technique?"

The Lord of the Wasteland abruptly rose from his throne, his aura overwhelming: "You shall wait here! I will go and fetch it for you!"

Before he finished speaking, the Lord of Desolate Mirror took a step forward, and his entire figure disappeared from the hall.

Inside the main hall, only Huyan Bo remained in an instant.

Hu Yanbo stared blankly at the spot where his teacher had disappeared, then a faint, warm smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Human races, deep within the primeval wilderness.

The "Qianbao River" is flowing slowly.

"Chaos! I have something important to discuss with you!" the Lord of the Wasteland transmitted his divine power.

In the virtual universe, apart from the Giant Axe Founder and the Primordial, other universe lords need to apply for a call before they can communicate with the Chaos City Lord.

But today, the Lord of the Wasteland does not want to wait!

Moreover, the people he was discussing matters with were not just the Lord of Chaos City.

Since Huyan Bo wants to learn the secret technique of soul attack, then he should learn it from the person in his clan who is the most skilled at manipulating souls among all the Lords of the Universe!

And this person was none other than the Dark Lord, the junior brother of the Chaos City Lord!
