Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 143 Massacre

Does it sound unbelievable that a single soul attack could instantly kill seven cosmic overlords?

But that's precisely what makes soul attacks so terrifying!

If it is a physical attack, to kill a cosmic overlord, one must first penetrate the opponent's supreme defensive armor, break through its defensive limit, and transfer the attack power into the armor before it can damage the opponent's divine body.

Even a powerful being like the Lord of the Universe could be killed with a single attack if facing a cosmic overlord with ordinary treasure armor protecting him and a smaller divine body.

For gods with large bodies, protected by high-level defensive treasures, multiple attacks will be required.

Soul attacks, on the other hand, are completely different!

It acts directly on the soul that is completely fused with the divine body, bypassing the material defenses!

Unless the opponent has a powerful soul defense treasure to protect them, and the attacker's soul attack power exceeds the opponent's soul's tolerance limit by a large margin—usually more than three levels higher—there is a high probability that the soul will be annihilated!

What?

You mean a soul-type treasure?

That level of treasure, when facing Hu Yanbo's current soul attack, is as useless as wearing an ordinary treasure to withstand the physical attack of the Lord of the Universe. Wearing it is the same as not wearing it at all!

With Hu Yanbo's current mastery of the Soul Path, his attack strength far surpasses that of ordinary cosmic overlords, exceeding it by three levels.

For him, it was an easy task!

As for soul-type treasures!

Even if you let these overlords sell all their treasures, they still wouldn't be able to raise the price of a single ordinary soul-type treasure.

Therefore, instantly killing seven overlords who were not protected by their soul treasures was just a small test for Hu Yanbo.

Hu Yanbo didn't delay any longer. His figure transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the battlefield in the distance where the energy collisions were most intense.

Because Hu Yanbo ended the battle against the seven overlords so quickly, the fierce battle between the Star Prison Demon Lord and the four overlords, including Tianhua Venerable, hadn't even moved too far away from the Desolate Stone Island area.

The two sides fought and retreated, and at this moment they were not far from where Huyanbo was located.

More importantly, this vast space has already been completely enveloped by the Star Prison Demon Lord's powerful high-level treasure, the "Black Realm"!

This dark starlight domain not only possesses powerful binding and suppressing forces, but also greatly interferes with and isolates the divine power within from probing and sensing.

At the core of the domain, where he was being held captive by the Star Prison Demon Lord, Venerable Tianhua had no time to spare and was unable to use his divine power to penetrate the layers of black starlight to investigate the specific battle situation on the Desolate Stone Island.

As for seeing with the eyes?

Is the Star Prison Demon Lord just a figurehead?

The Star Prison Demon Lord's figure was elusive, like a ghost wandering in a black sea of ​​stars.

Sometimes there are hundreds or thousands of chains, like venomous snakes with life, wrapping around and biting from incredible angles. The secret patterns flashing on the chains are incredibly powerful. Once an ordinary overlord is entangled, even his divine body will hiss!

Sometimes, he would make a grasping motion with one hand, and the power of the entire "Black Realm" would resonate and converge. Endless black starlight would transform into a black sphere in his palm that seemed capable of devouring all light. A simple impact contained the terrifying power to tear apart galaxies.

This is another powerful way to use domain-specific Arcana items!

Many treasures in various fields, while maintaining a wide-range suppression effect, can highly concentrate the dispersed power of the field and focus it on a single target, forming an extremely strong binding and suppressing effect, and can even directly launch an impact comparable to a powerful attack!

This concentrated attack, although with a very small range, will have a dramatically increased destructive power and control at a single point.

Some extremely precious domain treasures, after their power is highly condensed, can even unleash terrifying destructive power comparable to a higher-level offensive treasure weapon!

Of course, such treasures are extremely rare.

However, even the "Black Realm" of the Star Prison Demon Lord, when its power is fully concentrated at a single point, can unleash an impact that is absolutely at the top level among high-grade treasure weapons!

Therefore, under such an offensive, how could Venerable Tianhua have the spare energy to observe details millions of kilometers away?

Therefore, none of the other overlords who came to participate in the hunt, including Venerable Tianhua, knew that the seven companions left on the desolate island had been wiped out in an instant, their divine bodies annihilated and their souls dissipated!

The only ones who sensed something was wrong were the individuals within each of these overlords' own clans!

Each of the cosmic overlords is a pillar of the race, and they have left behind incarnations of divine power in the safest core of the race.

This avatar is connected to the original consciousness. Although it has no combat power, it can serve as an indicator of whether the original is alive or not.

Just a moment ago—

Scattered throughout the corners of the primordial universe, in the secret realms of these fallen overlords' clans, the divine power avatars they left behind, like sand sculptures scattered by the wind, vanished one after another without warning, transforming into the purest energy particles and returning to the origin of the universe!

"What's going on?!"

"The teacher's divine power has vanished?!"

"Even the keepsakes that marked our lives have been shattered!"

Terrified, panicked, and incredulous screams and roars erupted instantly at the heart of these tribes!

The leaders of these groups are in complete chaos!

Because the hunt for Huyanbo was a secret operation, these disciples had no idea where their ancestor had gone or why he had suddenly perished!

It should be noted that among these overlords who came to participate in the hunt, a considerable number were the strongest members of their respective tribes!

It is the towering pillar that enables our race to stand firm in the vast universe!

Their sudden demise was nothing short of a cataclysmic event for their people, a devastating blow that could lead to the decline or even extinction of the tribe!

Panic, like a plague, began to spread quietly within these groups and among the forces that were on good terms with them.

It will take some time for this message to reach the higher levels of the three major alliances.

Therefore, Venerable Tianhua was completely unaware of the fall of the overlords, both inside and outside the palace. He was still struggling to withstand the Star Prison Demon Lord's ferocious attacks, and even hoped that his seven companions would come to his aid as soon as possible with their "spoils of war" so that he could work together to force back or even severely injure the troublesome Star Prison Demon Lord.

And the reinforcements he was hoping for—Yi Huyanbo—had already appeared within easy sight.

His aura was weak, and the fluctuations of his divine body's energy had clearly dropped significantly, as if he had just experienced a pyrrhic victory.

Even so, a strong sense of unease welled up in Venerable Tianhua's heart!

Huyan Boneng's appearance, even if he's not in good condition, means that—

"Impossible! What about the seven overlords?!" A terrifying thought was like ice water poured over his head, making Venerable Tianhua's soul tremble.

He wanted to convince himself that Huyanbo had escaped by some secret method, and he dared not think about the worst possible outcome.

But reality didn't allow him to think it through. The Star Prison Demon Lord's violent attacks were like a persistent ailment, leaving him no time to spare.

The other three overlords who were following Venerable Tianhua and were originally dealing with the Star Prison Demon Lord were also greatly shocked when they saw Hu Yanbo flying over alone.

However, in that split second, Huyanbo gave them no chance to think or communicate.

He calmly looked at the four overlords who had been momentarily distracted and whose attacks had slowed down because of his appearance. In the depths of his eyes, the strange phenomenon that seemed to contain two rotating dark universes suddenly lit up again!

An invisible wave, far more subtle yet deadly than before, swept across silently like ripples of death!

At the same time, his divine power seemed to be severely drained by some invisible force, making him even more weak, and his face began to turn pale, perfectly demonstrating the backlash after forcibly activating his ultimate move.

Just as the death ripples were about to touch the three overlords of the divided spirit realm, and the alarm bells in Tianhua Venerable's heart were ringing wildly, he was unable to make an effective response due to the fierce attack of the Star Prison Demon Lord. At the critical moment, hum!

An extremely urgent, even slightly fearful, thought exploded directly in Venerable Tianhua's consciousness through his divine power avatar!

"Tianhua! What happened over there?!" The Lord of Sirius's voice was filled with unprecedented solemnity and urgency.

"Just now, the divine power avatars left behind by the seven overlords who went with you were all annihilated in the same instant!"

"All seven of them have perished!"

This message exploded like billions of chaotic divine thunderbolts deep within Venerable Tianhua's soul!

His mind, which had been working at high speed due to the intense battle, instantly went blank!

"All... all perished? Seven overlords at the same moment?" Venerable Tianhua's enormous eyes instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and boundless chill shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, even causing his divine power to momentarily stagnate!

His worst fears, the possibility he dared not even think about, had actually come true!

And it was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

It wasn't being trapped, it wasn't being blocked, it was a complete and instantaneous annihilation!

completely annihilated!

However, the news came too late.

Huyan Bo's soul attack had already swept past the four overlords!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

No miracle occurred.

The light in the eyes of the four overlords, including Tianhua, dimmed and vanished instantly, like a candle flame extinguished by the wind.

Their divine bodies stiffened, and then they fell helplessly into the Nine Nether Sea below.

Including the seven who had fallen earlier, a total of eleven cosmic overlords have perished here!

Faced with Hu Yanbo's terrifying soul attack, the gap between a top overlord and an ordinary universe overlord was infinitely narrowed.

That's what makes soul attacks so terrifying!

It ignores the strength of the divine body and the treasures of material defense, directly attacking the core of the soul consciousness that is completely fused with the divine body.

As long as there is no qualitative leap in willpower and consciousness (such as reaching the level of the Lord of the Universe), and as long as there is no soul-type treasure protecting the body.

Therefore, when faced with soul attacks that far exceed their own limits, the soul defenses of ordinary universe overlords and top universe overlords are actually at the same level of vulnerability!

Perhaps the will and consciousness of the top overlords are more concentrated, but under the absolute difference in power, this slight difference is meaningless.

And how can one reach the level of a master of the universe in terms of willpower and consciousness?

Tsk!

That's no easier than breaking through to the level of a universe master through understanding the laws!

Not everyone is Hu Yanbo, and not everyone is Luo Feng!

The strength of Hu Yanbo and Luo Feng's consciousness was built upon the vast and boundless divine power of the Nine Nether Sea.

This allows them to become masters of the universe once their consciousness breaks through to the level of a Venerable.

Hu Yanbo's transformation of will was achieved through the systematic analysis of "the strongest secret techniques and ultimate secret techniques created by multiple universe masters with endless effort".

These secret methods are not only the crystallization of laws, but also the ultimate condensation of the creator's own path, beliefs, and will!

Therefore, Huyanbo's life is essentially a process of facing, enduring, and ultimately understanding and absorbing the impact of these universe-level wills!

As for Luo Feng, it was due to his exceptionally high moral character as an Earthling and his hundreds of millions of years of cultivation in the Beast God Realm.

The two paths that Hu Yanbo and Luo Feng took to break through their will and consciousness are both unattainable for ordinary top-tier cosmic overlords.

In any case, Venerable Tianhua could not do it.

As the massive divine body of Venerable Tianhua lost all life force and helplessly plummeted towards the Nine Nether Sea, the Star Prison Demon Lord's face, shrouded in black starlight, showed no surprise whatsoever; all of this was within his expectations.

They even took the initiative to use their divine power to drag the corpses of the four cosmic overlords towards the direction from which Huyan Bo came.

The Star Prison Demon Lord had already grasped the power of Hu Yanbo.

Otherwise, how could someone as powerful as the Star Prison Demon Lord, one of the three top overlords of the human race, willingly hide in the world ring of a cosmic venerable?

Or, as Venerable Tianhua guessed, he received a direct entrustment from the strongest person in the universe.

Or—he had personally verified that Huyanbo was far more powerful than him!

Unfortunately, Venerable Tianhua would never have considered that other point.

Hu Yanbo slowly withdrew the terrifying dark vortex in his eyes, while maintaining the weakened aura around him, and transmitted his divine power.

"Demon Lord, you're in charge of cleaning up the rest of the small fry."

The Star Prison Demon Lord nodded slightly: "Don't worry, none of them will escape."

After killing the strongest Tianhua Venerable, the Star Prison Demon Lord no longer needed to devote all his energy to high-intensity battles as before.

He now has more awareness and energy to perfectly control this high-level treasure, the Black Realm!

hum!

The nature of the "Black Realm," which was originally mainly used to suppress and isolate detection, has suddenly changed!

The endless black starlight instantly became more aggressive and binding, like billions of living dark tentacles, precisely wrapping around the overlords who were still fiercely fighting with the twelve overlords of the Hong Alliance!

These overlords, who were subsequently informed of the deaths of their comrades and whose morale was thrown into chaos, were now being suppressed by this suddenly strengthened domain. They felt as if they were trapped in an endless quagmire, their divine power was sluggish and slowed down, and even casting secret spells became extremely difficult!

"not good!"

"The domain's power has increased!"

"The Venerable Tianhua is dead! Run!"

Panic spread like a plague, and the remaining demon overlords completely lost their will to fight, only wanting to desperately break free of the domain's constraints and escape this land of death.

However, within the "Black Realm" controlled by the Star Prison Demon Lord, even moving became incredibly difficult, so how could they possibly escape?

On the other hand, the twelve overlords of the Hong Alliance, under the deliberate control of the Star Prison Demon Lord, were not suppressed by the domain. Instead, they were like fish in water, and their attacks were even more fierce!

With this shift in momentum, the battle began to show a one-sided trend!
