Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 144 The Final Fantasy of the Lord of the Darkness!

The Star Prison Demon Lord did not suppress Hu Yanbo's senses through the domain treasure, so although Hu Yanbo stood in place with a weak aura, he could clearly perceive the situation of the battlefield.

With the aid of the black starlight, the overlords of the Hong Alliance were like tigers with wings, while their opponents were like insects caught in a spider web, slow to move and full of flaws.

"At this rate, it won't be long before we wipe out all these prey," Hu Yanbo thought to himself, unsurprised by the results.

This is the terrifying aspect of domain-type treasures!

Once a domain of suppression is established, it almost becomes a one-sided massacre when the strength difference is huge.

Recalling the original work, when Luo Feng was still in the Immortal stage, he could easily annihilate a mid-level Universe Venerable with just an ordinary domain-type treasure, the "Nine-Dove River," even though his divine power and understanding of laws were far inferior to those of the Star Prison Demon Lord. Even a Universe Overlord would suffer continuous damage and be greatly restricted if he were trapped in it.

The "Black Realm" that the Star Prison Demon Lord is currently wielding is an even more powerful high-level treasure!

In addition, his own divine power is vast and his understanding of the laws is extremely high. When he fully activates it, its power far exceeds that of the Nine-Dove River used by Luo Feng during his immortal period.

The suppressive and offensive effects of this "Dark Realm" are enough to inflict greater damage and hinder the movement of any cosmic overlord trapped within it.

What's more, at this moment, each of these overlords has another Hongmeng overlord of the same level watching them intently, launching a full-scale attack!

They had to fend off their opponent's deadly moves and resist the omnipresent suppression of their domain, causing them to be distracted and unable to attend to both.

In this situation, they are only facing certain death!

"Demon Lord, I'd like to enslave one or two overlords for fun!" Huyanbo said.

Hu Yanbo previously killed seven overlords in an instant using the strongest soul attack technique, "Eternal Night's Demise," which he learned from the Lord of Darkness.

This secret technique aims to crush and annihilate the opponent's soul and consciousness with absolute power in an instant. Its attacks are like thunderbolts, striking the vital points directly.

"The attack reached the kill threshold immediately, and the enemy's soul instantly dissipated, so there was no question of enslavement."

However, successfully enslaving a powerful being, especially a cosmic overlord, requires a much more complex and meticulous process.

First, you need to use powerful soul force to forcibly suppress the other party's consciousness, causing them to fall into an irresistible "zombie" state (similar to a vegetative state). Then, you need to carve a mark of enslavement deep within their soul's origin.

This process requires an extremely delicate control over the power of the soul, which is far more difficult than brutally annihilating it.

Without the aid of a special secret technique, Hu Yanbo could not possibly suppress the consciousness of multiple overlords in a "vegetative state" suitable for imprinting for an extended period of time using only his own ethereal divine power at this moment.

Any hegemon's resistance is extremely strong, let alone suppressing multiple hegemons at once. A slight misstep could lead to awakening or self-destruction.

If we're talking about using secret techniques, the most suitable for enslavement is naturally the soul-based secret technique that leans towards "illusion."

These kinds of secret methods often work subtly and effectively, breaking down the opponent's defenses and guiding their consciousness into a state of vulnerability.

Unfortunately, although Hu Yanbo's soul attacks are powerful, the "Eternal Night's Fall" technique he currently possesses is a purely offensive secret technique, and he is not skilled in this area.

The three cosmic lords of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance are also not skilled in this art.

Therefore, if Huyan Bo wanted to enslave his opponent, he could only strike when the opponent was unprepared, alone, or injured.

Upon hearing this, the Star Prison Demon Lord paused slightly in his figure shrouded in black starlight, then responded telepathically: "Alright!"

I will fully cooperate.

At this moment, the Star Prison Demon Lord's evaluation of Hu Yanbo had risen to an extremely high level.

"Huyan Bo's soul attack is ridiculously powerful!"

"Luckily, he's human, and luckily, I have a soul-type treasure protecting me!"

Humans and demons differ greatly in their allocation of resources.

Humanity has only three top-tier cosmic overlords, each a treasure of their race. It's not surprising that someone like Star Prison Demon Lord possesses a soul-type treasure.

While the demon race has twenty-one top overlords, giving them a numerical advantage, their resources are diluted. Apart from a few top overlords who can rival the Star Prison Demon Lord, some of these top overlords lack soul-type treasures.

Coincidentally, Venerable Tianhua was one of them.

In fact, before the primordial star was opened, if the cosmic overlords only roamed the primordial universe or the outer reaches of the cosmic sea, and did not actively venture into the three forbidden zones to provoke trouble, they would usually not be hunted down by the cosmic lords.

The cosmic overlords are bound by the invisible constraints of their races and also have a tacit understanding that they will not kill a cosmic overlord as long as the other party does not provoke them.

Otherwise, if you kill my race's overlord today and I wipe out your race's genius tomorrow, then all the races in the universe won't need to cultivate their descendants anymore; they might as well just let their top combatants fight each other to the death.

This is why, for top-tier cosmic overlords, as long as they don't court death, their ability to survive is extremely strong.

Even when facing top cosmic overlords who are also soul masters, there wouldn't be too many surprises, since the difference in their secret techniques, treasures, and willpower is usually not so great as to overwhelm them.

At most, it's just a momentary "consciousness shutdown," but top overlords each possess enormous divine bodies and high levels of life genes. It's an impossible task to completely annihilate their enormous divine bodies during the brief period of their "sudden shutdown."

If they can survive the initial dangerous period and wait for the rescue by the Lord of the Universe, they can escape this calamity.

Therefore, in a normal clash between top cosmic overlords, it is extremely difficult to directly kill an opponent of the same level using a soul attack!

It is more often used as a means of interference and suppression.

But Huyanbo is clearly an exception among exceptions!

His soul attack has already exceeded the scope of a "top overlord"!

It is a strange phenomenon that has existed in the primordial universe for countless years!

Even before becoming the master of the universe, his soul attacks were already incredibly powerful and unstoppable.

Just as Huyanbo had locked onto his target and was preparing to enslave a hegemon, a deafening boom erupted!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly emanating from the very depths of the universe, suddenly descended without warning!

The pressure was so strong that it even seemed to overshadow the fluctuations of the "Star Prison Demon Lord's Black Realm" domain!

Immediately afterward, a deep, resonant voice pierced through layers of spatial barriers, echoing powerfully in the depths of the consciousness of all the strong beings in this sea area: "Lord of the Nine Netherworlds! I am the Nether Demon! I wish to enter your Nine Netherworld space-time only to escort a few juniors away. I will absolutely not act recklessly within your Nine Netherworld space-time, much less cause you any trouble! I hope you will grant me this favor and allow me some leniency!"

The source of the sound—the Lord of the Netherworld, relying on his supreme power as the Lord of the Universe, managed to transmit his will and voice across the barriers of space and time, thus establishing communication.

Clearly, he also realized that the "encirclement" plan had turned into a counter-encirclement!

The Lord of the Netherworld was extremely anxious, but dared not venture into the Nine Netherworld in his true form.

His greatest hope at this moment was no longer to kill Huyanbo or seize the treasure, but to rescue as many surviving cosmic overlords as possible!

Because the fall of every cosmic overlord means that the strongest member of the race must pay a huge price to reverse time and be resurrected!

These are beings at the level of cosmic overlords. Looking across the entire primordial universe, only the strongest beings in the universe can withstand that enormous backlash and be pulled back from the river of time and space!

The three major alliances of the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race together comprise four of the strongest beings in the universe.

If all twenty-three overlords are wiped out this time, on average, each strongest one will need to revive nearly six additional cosmic overlords!

Six overlords—this is more troublesome than resurrecting sixty high-level Venerables!

While this might not fundamentally harm the strongest beings in the universe, it is definitely an extremely troublesome matter, enough to annoy several of the strongest beings!

As one of the planners of this operation, the Lord of the Dark Demons was naturally under immense pressure and only wanted to minimize the losses.

"Based on the current number of divine avatars, our overlords still have twelve surviving!"

"If we can rescue them and recover the important treasures scattered by the fallen overlords (especially the core treasures of Venerable Tianhua and others), then the actual losses in this battle can be minimized!"

"It's nothing more than expending some time and energy from a few of the strongest individuals to revive them. As long as the person is eventually rescued and the treasure is not lost, wouldn't that be the same as losing nothing at all?"

This thought calmed the Demon Lord's mind somewhat, and even gave him a sliver of hope.

His posture of transmitting his voice from afar became increasingly self-righteous, as if he were simply picking up a junior who had accidentally wandered off and had not caused any actual damage.
