Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 142 The Advantage Lies With Me!

Seeing that five of their companions had taken the lead and that even the strongest members who had initially followed and protected Hu Yanbo were so resolute, the other seven Hongmeng overlords exchanged glances and finally abandoned their original intention to stick to defense.

"Fine! We'll follow Huyan Bo's plan!"

"Be careful, keep your opponents occupied!"

Without further hesitation, the seven figures unleashed their divine power, transforming into streaks of light as they charged into the enemy ranks, each locking onto a demon alliance overlord as their opponent.

On the other side, Venerable Tianhua had some doubts, but relying on his side's absolute advantage in strength, he did not dwell on it too much.

With his command, the alliance also dispatched twelve overlords to meet the twelve overlords of the Hong Alliance.

In an instant, more than twenty figures went off to fight.

In an instant, the pressure in the core area of ​​the desolate island eased, but the atmosphere became even more tense.

Only Hu Yanbo remained, facing alone the encirclement of eleven demon alliance overlords, including Venerable Tianhua.

Venerable Tianhua calmly observed Huyan Bo, who was surrounded, his voice laced with undisguised mockery: "Human, reveal your trump card! One against eleven?"

"I don't think you're that irrational. I'll give you time to reveal your trump card!"

His words were filled with the arrogance and confidence of a cat playing with a mouse. He was convinced that Huyanbo must have something to rely on, but he was even more confident that in the face of absolute strength, any tricks would be futile.

He wanted to watch this human genius struggle in despair and then crush his hopes completely.

The other ten overlords also maintained the encirclement in tacit agreement, with powerful divine forces locking onto Huyan Bo.

Although they had heard of the little human's cunning reputation, they were not particularly nervous at the moment.

With Venerable Tianhua, a top-tier cosmic overlord, leading the way, and with the ten overlords joining forces, this lineup is enough to hold their own even against a true cosmic lord, at least ensuring their survival.

Even if Hu Yanbo has broken through to the Venerable level and possesses the combat power of a hegemon, what waves can he make against him?

In their view, safety is absolutely guaranteed.

They were more in a spectator's mindset, wanting to see what surprises Huyanbo could come up with.

However, despite being stared at by eleven eyes that seemed to regard him as prey in a cage, Hu Yanbo showed no sign of panic.

He didn't even glance at the surrounding overlords who were eyeing him covetously. His gaze calmly fell on Venerable Tianhua, who was at the head of the group, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Another "snap!"

On Hu Yanbo's finger, another seemingly ordinary world ring suddenly shattered!

A towering figure, as if stepping out from the eternal darkness, appeared instantly in front of Huyanbo.

He was dressed in ancient black armor, inlaid with strange crystals that resembled scattered starlight and diamonds, and his body exuded a chilling and deathly aura.

His face was shrouded in a faint black starlight, making it difficult to see clearly, except for a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss of the universe.

It was none other than the Star Prison Demon Lord, the most renowned and powerful cosmic overlord of the human race!

His appearance brought not only immense pressure but also a powerful aura.

Centered on the desolate rock island, the space within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers suddenly darkened!

It wasn't that the light disappeared, but rather that endless black starlight appeared out of thin air. This starlight was like black quicksand with life, slowly flowing and rotating, weaving into a huge black star net that covered the sky and the earth, completely isolating this area from the outside world!

An incredibly powerful binding and suppressing force instantly acted on every demon alliance overlord present, causing their divine power to stagnate somewhat!

"The Star Prison Demon Lord?! It's the human Star Prison Demon Lord!" Venerable Tianhua exclaimed in shock, his previously confident expression instantly turning extremely ugly!

Even among the top cosmic overlords, there are differences!

"Someone like Venerable Tianhua, who reached a life gene level of about two thousand times by seizing a special life form, and who, with the help of a high-grade treasure weapon, reached the ultimate level of the universe overlord through secret techniques, is considered to be on the average level of a top overlord."

One person can suppress several cosmic overlords.

The three top overlords of the human race—the One-Star Prison Demon Lord, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and the Ancestral Tree Venerable—belong to another level. They are recognized as the strongest top-tier cosmic overlords, on the same level as the "Strongest World Tree"!

Besides possessing higher levels of special life genes from their own possessions and having extremely profound levels of secret techniques, they often also possess powerful means capable of turning the tide of battle.

For example, the strongest World Tree controls space and time, and the Star Prison Demon Lord established his supreme reputation by obtaining a high-level class treasure in the Cosmic Sea by chance—the "Black Realm"!

When this treasure is unleashed, it possesses extremely strong binding, suppressing, and weakening abilities. Within its domain, the Star Prison Demon Lord's strength increases significantly, while his opponent is restrained at every turn.

With this treasure, the Star Prison Demon Lord even dared to contend with some weaker Universe Lords, possessing extremely strong survival abilities. "How is this possible?! How could the Star Prison Demon Lord be hidden in this kid's World Ring?!" Venerable Tianhua's heart was filled with shock and disbelief; this was completely beyond his expectations!

In his view, the Star Prison Demon Lord was an existence of such noble status and formidable strength that he could openly and openly appear to intimidate the geniuses within his clan. Why should he lower himself to hide in a world ring belonging to an immortal or even a Venerable?

Unless Huyan Bo's potential has been recognized by the strongest!

Unless their purpose is not just protection at all!

However, before Venerable Tianhua could fully process this horrifying thought, the Star Prison Demon took the initiative!

He stepped forward, and from among the black chains wrapped around his body, one particularly thick chain, shimmering with a dark starlight, suddenly awoke like a dormant giant python, lashing out with a shrill roar that tore through the void, and instantly struck towards Venerable Tianhua and the three cosmic overlords closest to him!

Fast! Too fast!

With the blessing of the "Dark Realm," the Star Prison Demon Lord's instantaneous speed and power reached an unbelievable level.

Venerable Tianhua only had time to cross his arms in front of him to protect himself, and to use his protective treasures and divine power to withstand the attack. The other three overlords were not even able to fully deploy a decent defense!

"Bang!" "!" "!" "!"

Four deep, thunderous explosions erupted almost simultaneously!

Venerable Tianhua was as if he had been struck head-on by a massive star at high speed. His tall divine body trembled violently, his snow-white hair exploded, and he was sent flying uncontrollably backward. In an instant, he was sent flying millions of kilometers away and crashed directly into the surging Nine Nether Sea in the distance, stirring up a huge wave!

The other three overlords were even worse!

The Star Prison Demon Lord then slightly turned his head, his gaze briefly meeting Hu Yanbo's.

Immediately, he blurred into a streak of black light and chased after the direction where Venerable Tianhua and the others had fallen!

All of this happened too fast. From the appearance of the Star Prison Demon Lord to the unfolding of his domain, and then to the thunderous strike that sent four overlords flying, it all happened in the blink of an eye!

The battlefield situation reversed in an instant!

Four of the eleven overlords who were originally surrounding Huyanbo were taken away by the Star Prison Demon Lord in the blink of an eye!

Only seven remain!

The advantage of twelve against one instantly turned into seven demon overlords shrouded in the Star Prison Demon Lord's domain facing off against Hu Yanbo, who remained calmly standing in place!

The cosmic overlord isn't stupid either.

The terrifying possibility that Venerable Tianhua had just thought of was now spreading like a plague in the minds of the remaining seven overlords!

Are we hunters or prey that have fallen into a trap?

Once this thought took hold, it gnawed at their confidence and fighting spirit like a venomous snake. Unconsciously, they began to slowly huddle together, trying to find warmth in each other.

This is actually quite ridiculous.

At the level of cosmic overlords, especially in this small, desolate island region, the distance between them, whether closer or farther, has no impact on the battle.

The overlord's divine power could radiate out and instantly cover the entire island.

But this closeness stems from instinct. When faced with the unknown and the absolute gap in strength, the instinct to be terrified makes them unconsciously want to seek the protection of their companions!

The remaining seven overlords looked at Huyan Bo, who stood alone in the arena with an eerily calm expression, and their eyes had completely changed.

The previous mockery and contempt vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of astonishment!

The appearance of the Star Prison Demon Lord and his ruthless methods completely shattered their psychological defenses.

Now, who would dare to regard him as a human genius who can be manipulated at will?

Hu Yanbo slowly raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over the seven cosmic overlords before him, who were like startled birds. The faint smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to widen slightly.

"It's much quieter now."

His voice was not loud, but it was like the whisper of death, clearly penetrating the depths of the soul of every demon overlord.

"We can get along well..."

'

Before Hu Yanbo's mocking words had even finished falling, a sudden change occurred!

Among the seven demon overlords, the Shadow Assassin, known for his speed and the most impatient temperament, has already made his move!

He simply couldn't bear this invisible pressure. Rather than sit and wait for his doom, he decided to strike first!

"die!"

The Shadow Assassin's figure was as blurry as a ghost, and a transparent short sword as thin as a cicada's wing was silently thrust out in his hand!

This sword strike embodies his lifelong cultivation and ultimate application of the laws of space. The moment the sword was drawn, the space in front of the sword tip seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, directly turning into the finest stream of particles!

The desolate rock island was not large to begin with, and it was even more of a tiny place for the cosmic overlord.

Shadow Assassin's sword strike was an attack launched by activating a psychic weapon, and its speed directly exceeded the limit allowed by the rules of the universe—the speed of light!

At such close range, a light-speed attack is almost equivalent to the attack arriving in the blink of an eye!

The moment the sword was drawn, the destructive energy, condensed to its extreme, traversed space. The cold tip of the sword had already touched the skin between Hu Yanbo's eyebrows, and one could even feel the chilling aura of the sharp edge about to pierce into his divine body!

However, Hu Yanbo's expression did not change at all when faced with this sudden and deadly attack.

"Seriously, didn't anyone teach you to respect others when they're speaking?"

The moment the words were spoken, two miniature, slowly rotating dark universes seemed to suddenly light up deep within Hu Yanbo's originally calm eyes!

An invisible and intangible, yet terrifying wave, powerful enough to freeze the soul and annihilate consciousness, swept out silently from his eyes!

This is the ultimate and strongest version of "Eternal Night"!

"Well!"

The transparent short sword, which had already touched Hu Yanbo's skin and whose sharp, cold aura could be felt, suddenly stopped less than a millimeter away from his brow!

Then, "Bang!"

The short sword, having lost all divine power and spiritual support, fell helplessly to the ground like ordinary iron, emitting a crisp ringing sound.

Following closely behind was the Shadow Killer himself.

His forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and his eyes, once filled with murderous intent and determination, instantly lost all their luster, becoming empty and lifeless.

His towering, divine body seemed to have had all its bones and soul removed, collapsing limply forward.

"thump!"

The first dull thud as the body fell to the ground was like the opening drumbeat of a symphony of death.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!" ————

Six muffled thuds sounded in quick succession, almost without any interval between them!

The remaining six overlords had just had the same thought, and their divine power had just begun to circulate, preparing to launch an attack together with Shadow Killer Venerable.

Their movements froze, all their emotions as if wiped away instantly by an invisible hand, leaving only utter deathly gray.

Then, the seven once-dominant divine bodies, devoid of all life force, collapsed to the ground like felled stalks of wheat, raising a few specks of dust.

Seven cosmic overlords!

In the blink of an eye!

Soul annihilated!

completely annihilated!

This is the terrifying power of Huyanbo's soul attack!

This is a part of the power he declared to the entire primordial universe!

However, despite this breathtaking victory, the originally vast and powerful divine aura emanating from Huyanbo rapidly declined like a tide, noticeably dropping significantly, and his face turned pale.

"After all, eliminating seven overlords at once was incredibly costly," that makes sense. Next, I need to assist the Demon Lord in dealing with Tianhua, so my aura needs to weaken a bit for Tianhua Venerable to believe that this was the price I paid for using some kind of method or supreme treasure!

In fact, for Hu Yanbo, who possesses a massive Nine Netherworld clone, it was extremely easy to overexert himself by disguising his divine body.

He only needs to have the Nine Netherworld clone hidden in the World Ring consume a trace of divine power in advance, and then, through the commonality of divine power between the clone and the main body, transfer the main body's divine power to replenish it, thus easily creating the illusion that the main body's divine power has been greatly depleted.

Ordinary powerful individuals use the energy of their clones to replenish their main body in battle, creating the impression of an endless struggle to the death.

However, Huyanbo did the opposite, using clones to weaken the "main body" and create a false impression of weakness!

"The acting needs to be on point." Hu Yanbo sensed his own weakened aura and was quite satisfied.

He cast his light toward the direction where the Star Prison Demon Lord and the Heavenly Flower Venerable were fighting, where the roar of divine power colliding could be clearly heard even from millions of kilometers away.

It would be more reasonable for me to rush to their aid while the Demon Lord is engaged in a fierce battle with Tianhua, in my weakened state.

O

True hunters don't just rely on a single meal!

Eat it at every meal!

That's what makes a good hunter!
