Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 136 The Ultimate Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe

Before long, the void rippled slightly, and the figures of the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, and the Desolate Mirror Lord appeared one after another in the miniature universe of the Giant Axe Founder. Together with the divine power avatar of the Giant Axe, the four most outstanding beings of the human race all turned their gazes toward the figure sitting quietly on the continent below.

As time passed, their expressions gradually became focused, then solemn, and finally turned into undisguised astonishment.

Especially the Lord of Darkness, whose face, which had been frozen for millennia, showed obvious signs of change.

It should be noted that when he heard that Hu Yanbo had become a top cosmic overlord, his expression did not change much.

"This—" The Lord of Darkness's throat went dry.

"Why do I feel like he's dismantling this secret technique from the inside out and showing it to me?" the Lord of Darkness thought to himself.

He was watching with his own eyes as the most powerful secret technique he had created, which he had painstakingly crafted by integrating his ultimate understanding of the soul, darkness, and time and space, was being peeled away layer by layer by a cosmic venerable in a manner that was almost like an "anatomy".

Those ingenious ideas he was so proud of, and the deeply hidden connections of the laws, all became clearly visible and had nowhere to hide under Hu Yanbo's threads of law.

This feeling is extremely subtle.

It's like a top fashion designer seeing someone perfectly dissect his most prized, extremely complex dress without even looking at the design drawings, just from the finished product, revealing the shape and stitching of each piece, and even uncovering his hidden, ingenious design details.

Even if a powerful being who is also a master of the universe and proficient in the way of the soul came to observe, they shouldn't be dissected like this!

Therefore, even though the Lord of Darkness was cold and calm, he had the illusion that he was being seen naked.

He subconsciously tightened his black coat, his deep eyes gleaming as if he were deep in thought.

"Inconceivable!"

"Inconceivable!"

Apart from the Lord of Darkness, the other three great beings were constantly marveling at this!

Of course, he wasn't as shocked as the Lord of Darkness, but he could generally understand how he felt.

Time passed quietly under the watchful eyes of the four great human beings.

The threads of law swirling around Hu Yanbo became increasingly complex, gradually outlining a miniature yet structurally complete dark cosmic phantom, radiating a soul-stirring fluctuation.

As the final crucial thread of law was drawn by Huyan Bo's consciousness, "Buzz!"

The entire miniature, dark universe trembled slightly, then suddenly stabilized, radiating a perfect and flawless aura.

Although its scale and power are far from comparable to those of the Lord of Darkness himself, the integrity of its structure and the internal logic of its laws are no different from the strongest secret technique, "Eternal Night's Fall"!

Hu Yanbo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and an endless dark vortex seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes. Although his aura quickly subsided, the sense of pressure that was leaked out in that instant made the four powerful figures present feel a slight unease.

"Success!" Hu Yanbo's face lit up with uncontrollable joy.

Not only because he learned the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, but also because during that in-depth analysis, his understanding of the "Law of Time" also rose rapidly, making leaps and bounds!

If his understanding of the laws of time was almost zero before, he simply relied on the laws of space to become a Venerable One.

Now, with just this new understanding of the laws of time, he can easily step into immortality and even support the strength of a king.

This is also the high-dimensional perspective brought about by the analysis of the strongest secret technique, which allowed him to touch upon some of the essence of the laws of time.

This is like a genius craftsman who gets hold of an incredibly complex aerospace engine design. He might be able to use his extraordinary ability to imitate to build and assemble the parts, and even get it to ignite and run successfully.

However, in this process, he will inevitably come into contact with materials science, fluid mechanics, and other fields that far exceed his existing knowledge base.

Thermodynamic principles.

Even if his initial goal was to "copy", in the process of copying, he inevitably and passively came to understand part of the essence of these principles.

Even if you learn something by simply copying it, you still need to understand some of its underlying meaning in order to be considered to have mastered it.

With a slight thought, Hu Yanbo felt a wisp of the law of time flow through his fingertips.

This means that when he applies the laws of law, he can also incorporate some laws of time.

The deeper his understanding, the greater the enhancement of his strength.

Hu Yanbo hadn't even had time to fully appreciate how much the Time Law had boosted his strength.

He then sensed the space in front of him fluctuating continuously, and the next moment, four figures imbued with boundless majesty appeared almost simultaneously.

The Lord of Desolation, acting as the teacher, moved his lips slightly, about to inquire with concern about his disciple's gains from this "observation," when the usually taciturn Lord of Darkness standing beside him suddenly stepped forward. "Huyan Bo! You have already comprehended my 'Eternal Night's Demise'?!"

This question was extremely direct, even somewhat out of line, completely inconsistent with the Dark Lord's usual cold and taciturn image.

It is evident how much impact Huyanbo's comprehension of the secret method had on the creator of this method.

Hu Yanbo understood, bowed respectfully, and said, "This junior is fortunate to have glimpsed the secret method; I thank the Lord of Darkness for granting my wish."

"A stroke of luck? A gateway?" The Lord of Darkness's voice suddenly rose a notch, his black robes fluttering even without wind.

"You, a supreme being of the universe, have comprehended my strongest secret technique in less than ten thousand years?"

"If it can be described simply as 'lucky,' then I've lost a lot of face!"

"You, show me what you've got! Use the ultimate technique you've just mastered, unleash your full power!"

The Lord of Darkness was eager to test how much Huyanbo had truly grasped!

Based on Hu Yanbo's construction of the secret technique through the Law Threads during this period, the ultimate technique of the Lord of the Universe is certain.

However, even though they are both ultimate secret techniques, they are worlds apart.

It breaks through the peak of the initial stage of this realm and its power can crush the peak of the ultimate techniques, but it is only at the bottom in the ultimate level.

The ultimate secret technique has been honed to perfection, with every bit of power exerted to its fullest potential. It is only one step away from the inspiration and sublimation of the strongest secret technique of the universe's master—the ultimate limit. This can be called the pinnacle of ultimate secret techniques!

The difference is almost a whole level.

The other three great beings—the founder of the giant axe, the lord of Chaos City, and the lord of the desolate realm—also tacitly approved the request.

Their eyes were also fixed on Huyanbo, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

At their level, they already understand that some miracles cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

They also wanted to witness firsthand just how much this little guy, who had defied all conventions time and time again, could comprehend from the Lord of Darkness's ultimate secret technique.

Only the Dark Lord, the founder, could discern from the battle with Huyan Bo that only a fraction of his original power had been used.

"In that case, I have offended you! Please enlighten me, Lord of Darkness!" Hu Yanbo also wanted to know from the Lord of Darkness how much he had learned.

At this moment, Hu Yanbo's eyes became incredibly focused, even empty, as if they had transformed into two dark abysses that devoured everything.

The Lord of Darkness neither dodged, avoided, nor defended; he simply took the blows head-on with his will.

One second, two seconds —

Finally, the Lord of Darkness slowly opened his eyes.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"
