Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 146 Dream Demon Ancestor: The pressure isn't much!

Hu Yanbo almost couldn't help but hum a little tune at that moment.

The pleasure derived from this huge contrast is truly indescribable.

He forcibly suppressed his inner elation and once again solemnly thanked the surrounding Hongmeng overlords, saying, "Thank you all for your great help this time. Huyan Bo is deeply grateful!"

"Now that this matter is settled, it is not advisable to linger here. Let us leave the Nine Netherworld first."

With a thought, Hu Yanbo was surrounded by flashing light, and a soul servant appeared.

A hazy golden light emanated from behind the servants, rapidly constructing a passage to the divine kingdom.

The spatial fluctuations above the Nine Nether Sea were not blocked, and the Divine Kingdom Teleportation could still be used.

Hu Yanbo chose to fly here earlier purely to fish, thus creating an opportunity for the enemy to encircle and annihilate him.

Otherwise, Huyanbo wouldn't have had the divine kingdom teleportation, but many of these Hongmeng overlords left behind divine power tokens here.

Soon, all the powerful figures from the human faction present, including Hu Yanbo, the Star Prison Demon Lord, and the twelve overlords of the Hong Alliance, stepped into the Divine Kingdom passage one by one. With a flash of light, they all disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, deep within the demon realm lies the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.

The majestic wolf-shaped divine body of the Lord of Sirius appeared directly outside the Dream Ancestor Palace through the divine kingdom teleportation of his immortal servants.

His face was so dark it was almost dripping with water, completely devoid of his usual arrogance.

Amidst a vast expanse of clouds and mist, a majestic white palace complex stretches out, the dwelling place of the most ancient being of the demon race, the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Deep within the clouds and mist, an enormous, silvery-white serpent's body loomed in and out of sight, stretching to the horizon, radiating an ancient pressure that could suffocate even the most powerful beings in the universe.

Lord Sirius dared not delay, swiftly entering the main hall and respectfully bowing to the enormous serpent head that loomed faintly in the depths of the clouds. His voice was heavy as he reported, "Dream Ancestor! Our clan's plan, in alliance with the Insectoids and the Machine Race, to hunt down the human Soul Destroyer King, Huyan Bo, has utterly failed!"

He paused, then added with difficulty, "Moreover, according to confirmation just received from the Zerg and Machine Races, all twenty-three cosmic overlords we dispatched, including Tianhua, were annihilated without exception!"

In fact, the Lord of Sirius could have reported the situation much sooner after sensing something was wrong.

However, the Lord of the Netherworld sent a message saying that he had been waiting outside the Nine Netherworld space-time and could try to communicate with the Lord of the Nine Netherworld to save people and recover some of the losses.

To everyone's surprise, the Lord of the Netherworld not only failed to rescue anyone, but was also taught a lesson by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in front of everyone, losing face and fleeing back to his clan in disgrace.

This matter has already spread among some of the universe lords of the Ancestral God Sect. The Lord of the Netherworld feels ashamed and is even too embarrassed to return to the Ancestral God Sect for the time being.

"Um?"

The clouds and mist surged, and the huge silver-white snake head lowered slightly, its cold vertical pupils staring at the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf. The temperature of the entire Dream Ancestor Palace seemed to drop suddenly.

An invisible pressure caused the Lord of Sirius to tense up slightly.

"You said that all twenty-three cosmic overlords who went to besiege them perished? Including Tianhua?" The voice of the Dream Demon Ancestor was unreadable, but every word seemed to carry a tremendous weight.

"Yes, yes, Dream Ancestor!" The Lord of Sirius felt immense pressure and forced himself to confirm.

There are twenty-three overlords, including a top overlord like Tianhua.

To be honest, even if the Lord of Sirius himself took action, he wouldn't dare say he could kill all twenty-three overlords so quickly in the face of their combined attack!

The Dream Demon Ancestor remained silent for a moment.

"So Huyanbo has already broken through and become the Lord of the Universe so quickly?" Then the voice suddenly rose.

This speculation is terrifying!

If Huyanbo really stepped from Immortal to Lord of the Universe in such a short time, is he going to become the next Primordial Ancestor?

If this is true, it will be a blessing for the human race, but an unprecedented nightmare for the three top races: the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race!

The Lord of Sirius sensed the rare fluctuation in the tone of the Dream Demon Ancestor and was startled. He quickly replied, "Dream Ancestor, that's not the case! Hu Yanbo himself should not have truly broken through to the level of the Universe Lord yet."

"We were just ambushed!"

Even Venerable Tianhua himself didn't know how he died, let alone how he could transmit information!

Therefore, the Lord of Sirius could only guess based on the known information. Hu Yanbo was treacherous and cunning, and even the Star Prison Demon Lord was willing to hide in his World Ring. It was entirely possible that he was hiding an even more powerful being!

For example, a Lord of the Universe!

After the Lord of Sirius finished speaking, the hall fell into an even deeper silence.

Although this news is equally heavy, the loss of twenty-three overlords is an undeniable fact, but compared to the possibility of Huyanbo breaking through to the Universe Lord level alone and slaughtering all the overlords.

The Dream Demon Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, that's fine, that's fine!"

If Huyanbo really did become the master of the universe from immortality in just tens of thousands of years, then he would inevitably have to join forces with the Zerg Queen and the machines to kill Huyanbo!

They don't want to go back to the era of their ancestors!

The enormous snake head swayed slightly, and the surrounding clouds and mist surged accordingly.

Then, an incomparably vast and supreme power, seemingly transcending the river of time and space, suddenly erupted from the enormous divine body of the Dream Demon Ancestor!

The space-time within the entire Dream Ancestor Palace instantly became blurred and distorted, and time began to flow backward!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The scene inside the main hall changes rapidly, as if time has reversed!

The scene of the Lord of Sirius reporting earlier disappeared, and in its place, earlier scenes flashed by rapidly and then rewound.

Finally, the scene freezes on a scene from long ago, where Venerable Tianhua, his divine body covered in snow-white fur, is respectfully prostrating in the main hall, asking the Dream Demon Ancestor about the profound mysteries of the laws.

"After all, Venerable Tianhua is a direct disciple of the Dream Demon Ancestor, and is qualified to come to the Dream Ancestor Palace."

As for the other fallen overlords, although they can be resurrected, it is more troublesome as the Dream Demon Ancestor needs to go to the holy land or specific location of their respective clans.

"Freeze!" The Dream Demon Ancestor's thoughts rang out, firmly locking onto the figure of Venerable Tianhua in the frozen image.

"Rewind! Resurrection!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor let out a deep roar, with endless chaotic energy surrounding its body. It was defying the laws governing the entire universe, forcibly pulling Venerable Tianhua back from the past!

Buzz~~~!

A powerful backlash of cosmic laws, so strong that even the Lord of Sirius felt a chill in his heart, descended invisibly and acted upon the enormous silver-white serpent body of the Dream Demon Ancestor!

The surface of the incredibly hard snake scales, comparable to a supreme treasure, began to tremble slightly, and even showed some faint traces of erosion as if by an invisible force!

The backlash from the laws of the universe that one must endure to resurrect a top-tier cosmic overlord is something that even the strongest being in the universe would find extremely difficult!

After a long while, everything returned to calm.

The majestic divine body of Venerable Tianhua, covered in snow-white hair, was completely solidified.

He opened his eyes somewhat blankly, subconsciously looking around at the familiar Dream Ancestor Palace. Then, the unforgettable memories of his fall surged into his mind like a tide, causing his massive body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

He immediately composed himself and respectfully prostrated himself: "Tianhua, I thank Master Mengzu for the grace of resurrection!"

"No need for formalities." The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice was still grand, but seemed a little calmer than before. "Tell me in detail what you saw before your demise. Especially that Huyan Bo, how did he make his move?"

Venerable Tianhua dared not be negligent and said in a very fast voice, "Reporting to the two teachers, at that time, I was fighting fiercely with the Star Prison Demon Lord when I suddenly saw Huyan Bo flying towards me. His divine power was weaker than when we first met, and as he got closer, his aura weakened even more, to less than one-fifth of its original strength."

"And then, the disciple knew nothing more."

Venerable Tianhua was still shaken at this moment.

His heart was in turmoil. One move!

With just one soul attack, this top overlord was annihilated without any power to resist!

This power is definitely at the level of a universe master, and a universe master who is proficient in soul techniques!

The cosmic lord, who is not proficient in the soul, will not be greatly affected by simply overwhelming him with his ethereal divine power.

This made him secretly regretful. The reason he didn't buy a soul-type treasure was because he was confident in his own will and divine body.

Secondly, it is believed that as long as one does not provoke those cosmic lords who are proficient in souls, or does not venture into the three great forbidden zones, the probability of encountering such beings while repeatedly venturing into forbidden zones such as the Primordial Universe and the Cosmic Sea is extremely low.

In his view, if one were so unlucky as to encounter a cosmic master who was proficient in souls in such a remote place, then whether or not one possessed a soul treasure would make no difference—certain death would be inevitable.

Therefore, his plan has always been to save money to buy a high-level palace-type treasure, which would provide him with greater protection.

After all, the demon race also needs contribution points. If they contribute back and forth, they will lose a lot of treasure points!

However, after this ordeal, he has learned his lesson completely!

Soul defense must be put on the agenda immediately!

Venerable Tianhua was terrified, but the Dream Demon Ancestor was not. After hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor only felt more relieved. "The aura of the divine body is weakening? It's even weaker upon closer inspection!"

A sense of relief, as if saying "So that's how it is," appeared in those enormous snake eyes.

"I understand!" Dream Demon Ancestor laughed.

"It seems that Huyan Bo has received some kind of heaven-defying opportunity, perhaps a special gift from the origin of the primordial universe, allowing him to master a secret attack technique!"

It began to make reasonable inferences based on its own understanding, and the more it spoke, the smoother it became, and the more comfortable it felt: "And the power of this secret technique can also have a synergistic effect with the treasure he obtained at the First Peak of the Ancestral God Sect!"

"The combination of these two factors allowed him to unleash a soul attack power comparable to that of a cosmic lord in an instant!"

"Moreover, both the secret technique bestowed by fate and the treasures of the First Peak are clearly of the soul type!" Dream Demon Ancestor laughed.

"That explains it! His weakened divine aura was the price he paid for forcibly activating secret techniques and supreme treasures far beyond his physical limits!"

"Hmph, I should have known!"

At this moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor believed that the secret technique bestowed upon Hu Yanbo by the primordial universe was at the "Ultimate Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe" stage.

The First Peak should also be a top-tier soul attack treasure!

"This Ancestral God Sect is certainly willing to give it up!"

"He's willing to let outsiders take away such a top-tier soul attack treasure!" The last trace of solemnity in the Dream Demon Ancestor's heart was also relieved.

After all, even if Huyan Bo can break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe in the future, his upper limit can still be predicted with such external aids and tricks.

So, can he reach Sirius's level?

Yes, its offensive capabilities might be stronger due to the treasure!

Among the cosmic lords of the demon race, the Lord of Sirius ranks from the back to the front in terms of strength.

While a future universe ruler who is at most one level stronger than Sirius is worthy of attention, he is far from being enough to warrant the Dream Demon Ancestor's alarm, or even the kind of panic one would feel when considering the Primal Ancestor.

And that's only if Huyan Bo can break through to become the Lord of the Universe!

pressure?

Not big!

As for breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm in over 30,000 years, his talent is decent, but it's not that scary!

In the vast universe, which era hasn't had a few exceptionally talented individuals?

Many beings who later became masters of the universe broke through to the level of cosmic venerables even faster in their youth!

The many cosmic lords of the demon race, once they have fully comprehended the many mysteries of the superior laws and integrated them into one, it usually only takes them a few thousand or tens of thousands of years.

Thirty thousand years?

This speed, even among truly top-tier geniuses, can only be considered "okay," not outrageously fast. "It seems that the opportunities and potential he gained during his Immortal stage were overdrawn, or even exhausted, at that stage!"

"In the end, the practice must return to the path of step-by-step, painstaking effort."

Even if that opportunity still exists, the Dream Demon Ancestor is not worried. The Primordial Universe has only bestowed upon him an ultimate secret technique. How much stronger can that opportunity be?

Just like the Lord of Sirius, no matter how strong he is, he still wanders around the outer realms every time he goes to the three forbidden lands of the cosmic sea.

Thinking of this, the last bit of doubt in the Dream Demon Ancestor's heart vanished.

A genius like Huyanbo deserves to be targeted and suppressed, but he is no longer a real threat to this being who stands at the pinnacle of the universe.

Having understood all this, the Dream Demon Ancestor looked at Venerable Tianhua and Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, who were respectfully waiting below, and ordered, "Tianhua, now that you have been resurrected, remember this lesson! Do not be arrogant about your soul defense!"

"Yes, Master Mengzu!" Venerable Tianhua replied respectfully.

The Dream Demon Ancestor's enormous serpentine eyes turned to the Lord of Sirius: "Sirius, you no longer need to be specifically responsible for the hunting of Huyanbo."

"If the opportunity arises again, I will personally arrange for the Universe Lord within my Demon Clan Alliance to take action!"

"At the same time, we will also have the Zerg and Mech races send out their corresponding level of Universe Lords to coordinate the operation!"

Letting things run wild is definitely not an option; we can't let Hu Yanbo grow up without any pressure. But even if we say how much the Dream Demon Ancestor values ​​it, it's not as much as he values ​​the top-tier soul attack treasure in Hu Yanbo's possession!

"As long as we manage to seize Hu Yanbo's supreme treasure, even if Hu Yanbo possesses the ultimate secret technique of the soul, his threat will be greatly reduced, at most reaching the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord."

Even if he were to become a top-tier overlord with the help of the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, he would still be nothing more than a troublesome insect to the elite races, easily destroyed.

pressure?

Not big!

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll find a time to revive the other overlords within the alliance. You may all step back." After the Dream Demon Ancestor finished speaking, its massive serpent head slowly sank into the clouds, no longer paying attention to the matter.

Twenty-three overlords trading this news for a mere fraction of the profit!

We still have to put in a lot of effort to revive them!

Fortunately, many of them came from the other two companies!

"Yes! Dream Ancestor!" Lord of Sirius and Venerable Tianhua bowed respectfully and then left Dream Ancestor Palace.

Eternal silence returned to the Mengzu Palace.

The Dream Demon Ancestor's judgment and decision were entirely reasonable, based on all the information it could obtain and its own experience.

However, it could never imagine the enormous cognitive gap between what it considered the limits of external things and the pinnacle of opportunity and Hu Yanbo, who possessed a pre-borrowing system, could continuously borrow "future power," and was rushing toward the path of "perfect genes" and "two strongest talent secret techniques."
