Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

If you don't understand Chapter 135, just start reading it.

About ten minutes later, the figure of the Lord of the Wasteland reappeared in the hall.

He didn't offer any further explanation, but simply said to Huyan Bo in a deep voice, "Disciple, come with me."

Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly teleported Hu Yanbo to the Divine Kingdom and left the Glory Secret Realm.

Immediately afterwards, they stepped into the teleportation channel.

Hu Yanbo felt that the flow of time around him was constantly changing, as if he were passing through a cosmic passage to the primordial universe.

"Whoosh!"

Everything around me became clear.

"Where is this place?" Hu Yanbo looked at what was in front of him. The trees and flowers here were tall and majestic, some even over a hundred kilometers high.

"This is the miniature universe of the Giant Axe Founder!" the Lord of Desolation explained from the side.

Meanwhile, on this continent, three figures were chatting.

One of them was the Chaos City Lord, clad in golden robes, with a gentle yet imposing face. He looked at the imposing figure beside him, exuding a bold and domineering aura, like a colossal god who had created the world, and asked, "Giant Axe, how is it? Did you detect anything unusual?"

This imposing figure is none other than the towering pillar of the human race—the founder of the giant axe.

His gaze was piercing, as if he could see through everything, and he slowly shook his head: "They are human, without any trace of having been enslaved!"

"This little fellow has an incredible opportunity!" the founder of the giant axe exclaimed, while another figure stood on his other side.

He was bald and simply wore a black coat, under which a strange suit of armor combining silver and black could be vaguely seen.

His face was cold and stern, his eyes were as deep as an ancient abyss, and he naturally exuded a chilling aura that could freeze one's soul.

He is the Lord of Darkness!

After learning about Huyan Bo's astonishing situation and request from the Lord of Desolation, the Lord of Chaos City could no longer remain silent.

To the Lord of Chaos City, although humanity is divided into five major forces, in the final analysis, they are one whole—the human race!

The potential shown by Huyanbo made the Lord of Chaos City less hesitant, and he personally persuaded the Lord of Darkness.

However, before the Lord of Darkness can truly begin his instruction, there is one crucial thing that must be done—that is, to completely and thoroughly confirm that Huyanbo is without any problems!

Although logical reasoning, behavior, and battle record suggest that Huyanbo is a member of the human race, logical deduction is ultimately not absolute.

They may not be enslaved by the three opposing top races, but they could be enslaved by some powerful beings.

Therefore, in order to confirm that Huyanbo was 100% reliable, he was brought to the miniature universe of the strongest giant axe user.

The Lord of Darkness's cold face revealed no emotion; he simply said, "Since you are certain that the giant axe is correct, then I will teach this boy."

"However, let me make this clear from the start: I will only leave behind the inscription of the secret runes. As for the specific explanations and guidance, how much he can comprehend is entirely up to him."

"Alright! That's enough!" The founder of the giant axe nodded.

In fact, not only the aloof Lord of Darkness, but also the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City, did not really expect Huyan Bo to learn much substantial knowledge from the Lord of Darkness's strongest secret technique immediately.

This is not a sign of disrespect, but rather a consensus based on the laws governing the universe. Without reaching the level of the Lord of the Universe and without a complete understanding of the higher laws of spacetime, it is impossible to create the ultimate secret method of the Lord of the Universe!

Just as a primary school student cannot independently deduce the theory of relativity, the absolute gap in life level and understanding of laws cannot be bridged simply by talent.

The reason they were willing to grant Hu Yanbo's seemingly "ambitious" request was because they valued him even more.

The potential shown by Huyanbo made the clan's leaders almost certain that, as long as he did not perish prematurely, there was a high probability that the human race would gain another universe master in the future!

No, even that top cosmic overlord can effectively shoulder some of the pressure on the race.

Therefore, as long as Huyanbo's requests are within a reasonable range and can strengthen the bond with the tribe, the tribe is willing to do its best to meet them.

"Junior brother, this instruction will proceed according to your rules. However, if Huyan Bo ever gains any insights during his meditation and seeks your guidance in the future, I hope you will consider the future of our clan and find an opportunity to offer some pointers."

"No one can comprehend the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe in the Venerable Realm." This is an ironclad law of the universe!

But Hu Yanbo has created many miracles along the way!

Especially noteworthy is his quiet breakthrough to the Venerable realm and his possession of top-tier cosmic overlord combat power.

The impact he brought was growing stronger and stronger, to the point that even a composed being like the Lord of Chaos City, who knew that the ironclad rules were hard to break, couldn't help but harbor a sliver of hope for Huyan Bodo deep down. What if?

What if this kid can actually defy common sense again?

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness remained expressionless on his cold face, merely nodding slightly. Then, his figure vanished.

The next moment, on this vast land, Hu Yanbo was still sensing the difference between the miniature universe and the primordial universe when he suddenly felt something and looked up sharply.

The void ahead distorted slightly, and a bald figure shrouded in a black coat appeared out of thin air.

Standing beside Huyan Bo, the Lord of Desolate Mirror said, "Disciple, this is the one I invited for you. Even among all the universe lords of all races, he is an existence that can be called the best in the way of the soul—the Lord of Darkness! He will show you what the strongest secret technique of soul attack at the level of universe lord is."

Hu Yanbo felt a chill run down his spine and immediately bowed respectfully: "Junior Hu Yanbo pays respects to the Lord of Darkness!"

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly in response to Huyan Bo's bow.

Without uttering any further words, he simply pointed his fingers like a knife, unleashing divine power, and gently slashed across the empty continent below.

In an instant, endless dark and mysterious patterns flowed from his fingertips.

These secret patterns are not simply floating, but rather imprinted on this land with a sense of "Tao," forming a huge, complex, and ever-changing dark map that exudes a soul-stirring atmosphere.

Having done all this, the figure of the Lord of Darkness vanished completely, like ink scattered by the wind, without leaving a single word.

Upon seeing this, the Giant Axe Founder, who was secretly observing from afar, couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh: "Haha, whether little fellow Huyanbo can obtain the opportunity is another matter, but my miniature universe has gained another strongest secret rune carving."

"This ultimate technique of soul attack is imprinted here. If any young talents with soul talent emerge in my Giant Axe Arena in the future, they can come here to observe it."

That being said, both the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City knew perfectly well that it was more of a joke.

The strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, how profound is it? If even an incredible talent like Huyan Bo can hardly comprehend it, then other so-called geniuses would be even less likely to understand it; it would be a pure waste of time.

This secret pattern is currently being carved almost exclusively for Huyan Bo.

Looking at the mysterious runes radiating endless profoundness before him, the Lord of Desolation solemnly said to Huyan Bo, "Disciple, the Lord of Darkness has left behind a legacy. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your own comprehension. You should stay here and meditate quietly; no one will disturb you." After saying this, he also quietly departed.

The two figures, Giant Axe and Chaos, who were far away, no longer paid attention to this place. As leaders of their races, they had countless affairs to attend to in the Cosmic Sea and the Primordial Universe, and could not stay here to watch for long.

It would be possible to leave a divine power avatar here, but observing such a secret technique, which takes time to "start an era," is not as good as waiting for Huyan Bo to make a move before contacting him.

On the vast continent, only Hu Yanbo remained, facing the enormous secret pattern that seemed to contain the birth, death, and reincarnation of an entire dark universe.

Hu Yanbo did not directly use the system, but instead attempted to observe and learn using his current level of understanding and comprehension.

To understand the mysteries of this most powerful secret technique.

However, just moments later, Yi Hu Yanbo was about to open!

Heavenly Book!

It's completely incomprehensible!

"This thing is indeed a divine book that only the Lord of the Universe can understand!"

The laws contained within those runes operated far beyond his current understanding of laws.

It's like a being in a two-dimensional world trying to understand the three-dimensional structure of space, where there is a fundamental dimensional barrier.

"No wonder there is an ironclad rule in the primordial universe: without becoming the master of the universe, it is impossible to create the ultimate secret technique of the master of the universe!" Hu Yanbo now understands this firsthand.

"A mere comprehension of a single higher-level law (such as the perfection of the law of space) is simply insufficient in depth and breadth to support such a complex esoteric framework that involves the ultimate fusion of multiple complex laws!"

Of course, this ironclad rule mainly applies to levels like the primordial universe.

Within the vast continent of origin, those peerless geniuses who follow the path of pure law comprehension, at the realm of cosmic venerables, through their ultimate research into the essence of the laws (such as the two paths of law fusion or the two paths of spacetime), exhaust all possibilities, are able to create secret techniques at the level of true gods!

"Hey, that's what geniuses think, I'm not a genius!" Hu Yanbo quickly banished these distracting thoughts, adjusting his mindset with lightning speed. "I'm just a ruthless 'switch' person!"

With a thought, the "Eternal Night's Fall" inscription carved beneath his feet, which was originally as obscure and difficult to understand as a celestial book, seemed to be infused with a soul and suddenly came to life!

No longer an unattainable totem of laws, but transformed into a river of laws with life, veins, and breath!

Countless dark, mysterious lines seemed to come alive, automatically disassembling, recombining, and evolving according to some profound yet incredibly clear logic!

In Hu Yanbo's pupils, the dizzying complex patterns were no longer reflected, but transformed into flowing streams of laws. The direction of each stream, the purpose of each turn, and the law resonance effect generated when different streams converged!

Like the most basic mathematical formulas, they were directly translated into fundamental information that he could instantly understand, flooding into the depths of his consciousness.

This is no longer "observation," but "analysis"!

The system, with its supreme power, revealed to him without reservation the underlying structure, core principles, and energy operation of this strongest secret technique of the universe, and perfectly adapted and integrated it with his own soul characteristics and understanding of the laws!

The enormous secret pattern at his feet seemed to be his most intuitive textbook, and the system was the omnipotent mentor who reached the essence of things!

Hu Yanbo's aura was restrained, like an old monk in deep meditation, as he absorbed and understood the most basic law structure units analyzed by the system, and became familiar with the new operating logic belonging to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

His threads of principle began to spread unconsciously, attempting to imitate the simplest basic structures in sculpture, like a baby learning to walk, slowly and intently.

In the vast cosmic sea, within the realm of the Peak Realm, a towering figure, as majestic as a mountain, is breaking through the endless chaotic currents of air. It is none other than the pillar supporting the human race—the Giant Axe Founder.

He had been gone from the miniature universe for decades. "Hmm? Little Huyanbo, is he making a move?" the Giant Axe Founder thought to himself.

As the master of the miniature universe, he was fully aware of everything that happened within it.

When his gaze fell upon Hu Yanbo, especially when he sensed the extremely faint yet remarkably precise threads of law that were unconsciously spreading from Hu Yanbo's body, attempting to outline and construct them.

For the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Giant Axe Founder, a face that seemed capable of bearing the entire universe!

"This...this is the basic structure of the most powerful secret technique?!" The creator of the giant axe was shocked.

As the strongest being in the universe, the founder of the giant axe is a melee fighter who follows the "way of the axe," using brute force to break through magic. He is not an expert in subtle and unpredictable methods such as soul attacks.

But as the saying goes, if one can understand one method, all methods will be clear. When he reached such a level, he was able to gain a commanding view from a high vantage point.

Understanding the operation of lower-level rules is like a college student looking at elementary school math problems. They may not be good at solving the problems, but they can tell at a glance whether the problem is correct and whether the formulas used are based on solid fundamentals.

The creator of the giant axe could still recognize the most core and fundamental structural unit of the Dark Lord's secret technique.

It was precisely because he could recognize it that he found it unbelievable!

"How is that possible?! He's only been studying for a few decades! And he's just a kid who recently broke through from Immortal to Venerable!" The founder of the Giant Axe was deeply moved.

"Each of the most powerful secret techniques was created with the immense effort of the Lord of the Universe! And yet it was comprehended in such a short time!"

"What kind of heaven-defying opportunity has this little human fellow obtained?!" The Giant Axe Founder stared intently at Hu Yanbo, as if examining a rare treasure of the universe.

The founder of the giant axe was naturally filled with curiosity. In fact, given his status and authority among the human race, if he really wanted to investigate, he could easily trace back to which secret realms Huyanbo had visited through the background records of the virtual universe, and roughly where the qualitative change began.

With the great supernatural power of "reversing time and space," one can check whether any anomalies have occurred in those places, thereby deduce the origin of their opportunities.

But such a thought never crossed the mind of the founder of the giant axe!

In his view, every powerful being in the universe has their own destiny and secrets. Especially for geniuses like Hu Yanbo, who are beneficial to the entire race, the more extraordinary their opportunities are, the greater their help to the future of the human race!

Forcing a search is not only unwise, but it may also discourage a genius.

As a tribal leader, he possessed an open mind and extraordinary foresight.

Moreover, after a brief moment of shock, the founder of the giant axe felt a surge of emotion from the bottom of his heart.

An overwhelming sense of joy and anticipation!

"Good! Good! Good!" The founder of the giant axe exclaimed three times, his hearty laughter echoing in parts of the inner domain of the Peak Realm.

"Who cares about any kind of opportunity! As long as this kid's heart is with humanity, the stronger he is, the better! If he can use this opportunity to rise high and become another pillar of our human race, or even surpass us, that would be the greatest fortune for our human race!"

With this in mind, the Giant Axe Founder ceased his solitary observation. With a thought, he sent a communication directly to the other three involved: "Chaos! Darkness! Desolate Mirror, come quickly to my miniature universe! That little fellow seems to have gained something from comprehending the secrets of darkness!"
