Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 139 Night Kai

Walking along the corridor leading to the main hall of the Lord of the Wilderness, Hu Yanbo already had a preliminary outline of his plan in mind.

After contacting your partner, you can head to the Ancestral God Cult and begin your operation.

However, just as he had contacted his chosen candidates and was about to depart, he was summoned by the Lord of the Wasteland.

"Teacher." Hu Yanbo bowed slightly as he entered the magnificent hall.

Seated on the Flame Throne, the Lord of Desolation and Insight, with piercing eyes, looked Hu Yanbo up and down, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "It seems that you have gained a lot from your more than 20,000 years of seclusion, and your aura has become more and more profound and heavy."

"

Although the Lord of Desolation could not perceive the specific situation, this was his own disciple. He had only been comprehending the Lord of Darkness's strongest technique for a few thousand years, and he had been able to stay at the "Ten Thousand Laws Forest Stele" for so long, so his gains must have been even more abundant.

"This disciple dares not slacken," Huyan Bo said respectfully.

"Hmm." Lord of the Desolate Mirror nodded, then casually waved his hand, and a stream of light flew towards Huyan Bo.

Hu Yanbo reacted very quickly and reached out to catch it.

It felt warm to the touch, and a cool sensation spread along his arm, even making his soul feel a pleasant throbbing.

He looked down and saw a triangular crystal, about the size of a fist, lying quietly in his palm.

The crystal is a deep red color throughout, as if it were carved from the purest red crystal, and there seems to be a nebula flowing inside.

Upon closer inspection, deep within the flowing nebula, one can vaguely see an extremely subtle and exceptionally agile crimson stream of light, like a miniature azure dragon, meandering and swimming against the red backdrop of the universe.

"This treasure is named Nightbreaker," the voice of the Lord of the Wasteland rang out. "It is a top-tier soul-type treasure!"

"Its power is profound and mysterious, and it is by no means inferior to the soul attack treasure you obtained at the first peak of the Ancestral God Sect!"

'

It turns out that after discussion and analysis among the highest levels of the human race, including the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and the Dark Lord, they arrived at a reasonable conclusion based on Hu Yanbo's explosive increase in strength after breaking through to the Venerable realm (which should have been just a leap from an ordinary overlord to a top-tier overlord):

What Hu Yanbo obtained from the first treasure of the Ancestral God Sect must be a top-tier soul attack treasure!

It was only after Hu Yanbo broke through to the Venerable realm and comprehended the deeper mysteries of this treasure that his soul attack underwent a qualitative change, greatly increasing his strength.

This inference perfectly explains the external reasons for Huyanbo's sudden and unexpected surge in combat power.

This also aligns with the significance of the Ancestral God Sect's first treasure.

Behind this inference lies a taut string in the hearts of the human race's high-ranking officials.

The Ancestral God Sect's generosity has created an invisible competitive pressure.

These beings who stand at the pinnacle of humanity know that if a powerful individual can obtain resources and status from external forces far exceeding those within the race, even the strongest bonds may loosen over time.

What sustains the sense of belonging among the top elites can never rely solely on empty notions of ethnic righteousness or pale moral constraints; it requires real support and sincerity that are no less valuable than any external temptation.

We must never let Huyan Bo, or any other promising successors, feel that the human race treats them less generously than other races.

The Ancestral God Cult is also a foreign religion!

They could also invite Huyanbo to become a core member of the Ancestral God Cult, and to become one of their own!

This is not something the human race's leadership wants to see.

Therefore, the powerful figures were also thinking about what would be appropriate to bestow upon Hu Yanbo. They judged that although Hu Yanbo's strength was not much different from that of a powerhouse who had just broken through to the level of a universe master, his will was definitely inferior. Therefore, they decided to bestow this soul defense treasure upon him.

After all, in the eyes of the human race's higher-ups, it was absolutely impossible for their will level to leap to the level of the Lord of the Universe in such a short period of time.

This is the accumulation of life experience and spiritual realm, which cannot be achieved quickly through mere talent and opportunity.

This is a potentially fatal weakness.

However, this so-called "shortcoming" has now been discovered by human groups and has been remedied by them!

With this top-tier treasure protecting his soul, Hu Yanbo could even self-destruct and revive himself against the strongest opponent.

"Teacher! This—" Hu Yanbo held the treasure in his hand, still somewhat bewildered.

I never expected that the teacher calling on me would be such a big surprise!

The Lord of the Wasteland waved his hand, interrupting him: "Disciple, you earned this through your own abilities!"

"After confirming that you could comprehend the most powerful secret technique carved by the Lord of Darkness, the Founder of the Giant Axe personally summoned us, the Lords of the Universe, to discuss the matter."

"We all believe that, given your venerable status, the fact that you could learn from and quickly comprehend the most powerful secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe is truly astonishing, even to us old folks!"

Based on the available information, the human race's high-ranking officials deduced that Yi Hu Yanbo must have obtained some kind of heaven-defying opportunity that could greatly enhance his comprehension!

It was through this opportunity that he was able to make rapid progress, quickly break through to the Venerable stage, and access the strongest secret techniques at the Venerable stage.

This opportunity may not directly increase combat power, but it is invaluable in terms of assisting in enlightenment!

To be honest, many of the human race's cosmic lords at the Giant Axe Conference wanted Huyanbo to remain in seclusion in Chaos City until he broke through.

However, all of these were denied by the giant axe.

According to him, we can't deny them even one chance, and besides, which of the universe masters present here can achieve enlightenment through seclusion?

Even though Hu Yanbo's comprehension was comparable to that of the original master, the original master only gained enlightenment after experiencing a bloody battle to break through to the level of the universe master.

"Alright, with this treasure, you can even self-destruct if you encounter the strongest opponent!"

"However, after you self-destruct, the clan will not give you any more treasures!" the Lord of the Wilderness warned.

True strength ultimately depends on one's own blood and sweat to forge a path to victory!

Anyone with extraordinary talent will inevitably face attacks from all sides; it doesn't matter who it is!

Once you get past this hurdle, the hidden dragon will emerge from the abyss, and the road ahead will be wide and smooth!

If you can't get through it, then just accept the ordinary.

"Disciple understands! I will certainly live up to the high expectations of my teacher and the clan!" Huyanbo held the Night Armor and bowed deeply.

This treasure, "Night Armor," has arrived just in time!

Hu Yanbo knew that his situation was completely different from Luo Feng's.

Luo Feng encountered extraordinary opportunities, possessing supreme treasures such as the "Calamity Armor" and the "Star Tower" to protect his body and soul.

And what about him?

Although he possessed a rapid understanding of laws and mastery of secret techniques thanks to the system's advance guidance, he was not particularly outstanding in terms of actual physical defense.

Even with the will of the Lord of the Universe, let alone facing the strongest beings who are proficient in soul attacks, Hu Yanbo might not be able to withstand the soul attacks of the Lord of Darkness for long, even with the Lord of the Universe's peak secret technique of soul defense.

However, now that a supreme treasure protects the soul, things are completely different.

"It seems that there is still a long way to go in becoming stronger!" Hu Yanbo thought to himself.
