Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 151 The Ancestral God is too arrogant! Oh!

Enveloped in golden light, Hu Yanbo reappeared in the palace on Zijing Island. With a flick of his wrist, the dark golden Ancestral God Token appeared in his hand.

They then directly contacted the dual-faced ancestral god through the token.

"Junior Huyanbo pays respects to the Ancestral God. Regarding the precious armor that the Ancestral God promised!" Huyanbo respectfully relayed the message.

However, after the message was sent, there was only silence on the other end of the token, with no response whatsoever.

Hu Yanbo frowned slightly and tried to send the message again, but it still went unanswered.

"Hmm? What's going on? Is the Ancestral God dealing with important matters?" He wondered. Logically speaking, with the Ancestral God's abilities, he should have been able to respond instantly.

Just as he was about to send a third message, a slightly deep voice rang out: "Huyanbo, this is Jiuyou."

Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?

Hu Yanbo was taken aback, and quickly replied respectfully, "Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."

"The Ancestral God has gained some insights and has just gone into seclusion. If you have anything to say, you can tell me." The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' voice was calm and indifferent.

He's gone into seclusion?

Hu Yanbo felt a pang of disappointment. "I've only been gone a short while, and the Ancestral God has already gone into seclusion?"

"All three together?"

Hu Yanbo couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling that something was amiss, but he didn't ask any further questions and quickly said, "Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, it was the Ancestral God who promised to bestow upon me a supreme treasure armor because of my promotion to Protector of the Sect—"

"Yes, the Ancestral God already informed me of this," the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds interrupted him. "I will send someone to deliver the armor to you shortly."

"Thank you, Lord of the Nine Netherworlds!" Hu Yanbo quickly expressed his gratitude, and his little thought of asking for the domain treasure was completely extinguished.

"Even the main body is in seclusion, so it's clear that even if he asks the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds for this, he can't make any decisions."

"Hey, if I can't get a top-tier domain treasure, I guess I can't get one!" Hu Yanbo thought to himself, quite nonchalantly. "It seems that in the end, I'll have to fight for and compete for top-tier domain treasures myself in the future!"

Meanwhile, in the palace next to Huyanbo's palace...

One of the Nine Netherworld Lord's divine incarnations, holding the Ancestral God Token that had just finished transmitting the message, looked at the two-faced Ancestral God sitting leisurely on the throne, slowly sipping wine from his cup with a strange expression.

"Ancestral God," the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said, his tone tinged with helplessness and confusion, "so you summoned me from the Nine Netherworld in such a hurry just to receive this message for you? To send a treasure you've already prepared?"

He was genuinely bewildered.

Just now, he received a very solemn message from the Two-Faced Ancestral God. He thought that something earth-shattering had happened in the Primordial Universe, or that the Ancestral God Cult was facing some kind of thorny crisis, and that he needed to come and discuss it immediately.

As a result, the two-faced ancestor rushed over in a flurry. Without saying a word, he simply handed him the Ancestral God Token, pointed to the palace next door, and said, "Answer that message from Huyan Bo for me. Just tell him I'm in seclusion, and give him the armor he wants."

Then he started drinking by himself!

"Nine Netherworlds, you don't understand!" The Two-Faced Ancestral God put down his wine cup, letting out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just escaped a calamity. "Just now, when I sensed the message from that little guy next door, my heart skipped a beat!"

"I have a very bad feeling; I have a feeling that if I answer this message, something terrible might happen!"

Lord of the Nine Netherworlds: "————"

Looking at the two-faced ancestral god's undisguised expression, he was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"So," the two-faced ancestral god patted the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds on the shoulder.

"From now on, you, as his direct superior, will be in charge of handling matters related to Huyanbo! You should also take this Ancestral God's Decree; whatever he needs, you are in charge of dealing with it!"

The corner of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' mouth twitched slightly.

He could actually understand the importance that the Ancestral God Sect placed on Huyanbo.

Putting aside everything else, just looking at the palace arrangement on Zijing Island makes it clear that the Two-Faced Ancestral God personally sits in the palace next to Huyanbo.

The intention is self-evident: to be on the safe side in case the strongest being in the universe were to disregard his reputation and personally attack and kill this human genius, the Two-Faced Ancestral God could intervene and protect him immediately!

Looking at the countless inheritors accepted by the Ancestral God Sect, Hu Yanbo is the only one in the long history to have such an honor and to have the Ancestral God protect him so closely!

However, this ancestral god himself, while attaching great importance to Huyanbo, was unwilling to confront him directly.

The subtle nuances of this situation left even the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds somewhat bewildered.

"Since the Ancestral God has given the order, I will not ask any further questions." The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds put away the token and teleported away.

The dual-faced ancestral god is right before us, controlling the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. He can dispel any spatial fluctuation he desires!

A simple and effortless action!

Huyanbo did not wait long inside the palace.

Then a familiar voice came from behind.

With a thought, Hu Yanbo opened the palace door, and a figure strode in—it was Venerable Jiufeng.

With a hearty smile on his face, Venerable Jiufeng entered the hall and cupped his hands, saying, "Venerable Hunmie, I have received orders from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to present this item to you!" As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and an ancient world ring floated toward Huyan Bo.

Hu Yanbo reached out and took the ring. With a burst of divine power, he scanned it with his divine sense and sensed a strange suit of armor floating quietly inside, emanating a powerful aura!

Extremely powerful!

He felt certain, but then looked at Venerable Jiufeng with some puzzlement and laughed, "Jiufeng, how come you, a dignified candidate for Divine General, are doing this delivery job? Doesn't the Ancestral God Sect have any divine messengers or guards specifically responsible for delivering supplies?"

Logically speaking, this kind of treasure delivery could be done by any Venerable Servant, so why bother a cosmic overlord or candidate god general to make the trip in person?

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jiufeng laughed heartily: "Haha, Venerable Hunmie is joking! Such errand-running tasks are naturally handled by specialists."

"However, this time it was the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds who personally sent me a message, saying that he wanted to give you an important treasure."

When I heard it was to deliver something to you, of course I readily agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Venerable Jiufeng chuckled, his eyes filled with genuine joy. The more valued Huyan Bo was by the higher-ups of the Ancestral God Sect, the more benefits he received, and the faster his strength increased, the happier Venerable Jiufeng became.

This not only proves that his initial bet on Huyanbo was correct, but also means that the human race's pillar of strength will become even stronger!

As a human overlord who was on good terms with Huyanbo and was among the first to firmly support him, he was naturally honored and eager to participate more in matters related to Huyanbo to deepen this friendship.

Seeing Venerable Jiufeng's attitude, Huyanbo felt a warmth in his heart and understood the other party's intentions.

He put away the World Ring and said solemnly, "Thank you for making this trip in person, Jiufeng."

"Between us, there's no need for formalities!" Venerable Jiufeng waved his hand. "Since the item has already been delivered, and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has declared it a priceless treasure, I will not disturb you any longer!"

"However, just to be on the safe side, and to avoid my foreign spies constantly watching this place from deducing anything unusual from my hurried arrival and departure, I will stay in your palace for a while longer before leaving."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo nodded slightly to show his understanding.

He was well aware that his palace on Zijing Island, though seemingly peaceful, was actually being watched by countless eyes in the shadows.

In the eyes of the strongest among the three peak clans, Hu Yanbo was still a cosmic venerable with great potential.

"Alright, then make yourself at home, just like you're in your own place." Hu Yanbo said to Venerable Jiufeng, and then with a thought, another passage to his own divine kingdom opened beside him. "Okay, you go ahead with your work." Venerable Jiufeng nodded with a smile, and sat down on a futon in the hall, closed his eyes to rest, and looked relaxed, as if he really was just visiting a friend for a short visit.

Hu Yanbo didn't delay any longer. He stepped into the passage to the divine kingdom and his figure disappeared into the palace on Zijing Island.

Returning to the center of the vast divine kingdom, Hu Yanbo flipped his hand, and the World Ring appeared in his palm.

Divine power permeated within, instantly sensing the ancient armor that floated silently.

The armor was primarily made of an unknown golden metal.

The armor is inlaid with a large number of brighter gold edges, which are cleverly carved into layers of lotus petal patterns, exquisite and intricate, yet perfectly integrated.

On the texture of each lotus petal, countless tiny patterns flow and change slowly, as if a living thing is breathing.

The entire suit of armor shimmered with a faint golden halo. This halo was not dazzling, but rather appeared and disappeared like tangible lightning, silently swirling around the armor.

"This is the ultimate treasure armor!" Hu Yanbo was thrilled, his eyes burning with excitement.

As we all know, the feeling of knowing that a good treasure is about to be in your hands is completely different from the feeling of actually holding it in your hands.

Expecting and possessing are two different things!

Hu Yanbo imprinted his spiritual mark on it, and instantly an ancient and vast message was transmitted into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Golden Lotus Divine Armor, a supreme treasure armor, has three forms:

First form: After activation, it can reduce physical attacks to one-thousandth and soul attacks to one-tenth.

Second form: can weaken physical attacks to one ten-thousandth and soul attacks to one-tenth.

The third form can reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth and soul attacks to one-tenth.

"??????" Hu Yanbo was stunned.

Looking at the information that clearly appeared in his mind, Hu Yanbo was truly dumbfounded.

Because the performance of this "Golden Lotus Divine Armor" is quite different from the peak treasure armor he knows!

In the universe, whether it's ordinary supreme treasure armor, high-level supreme treasure armor, top-level supreme treasure armor, or even the peak supreme treasure armor he anticipated, the maximum upper limit of attack reduction factor is the same: the maximum reduction of a substance attack is one ten-thousandth!

The essential difference between them lies in the strength of the materials, the efficiency of energy conduction, and most importantly—the upper limit of their resistance!

For example, an ordinary treasure armor might be able to barely reduce the power of a universe overlord's normal attack to one ten-thousandth, but once it encounters an attack from the lord of the universe, the armor itself might not be able to withstand the terrifying impact and shatter directly, so there is no question of effectively reducing its power.

A supreme treasure armor, with its material and internal structure, is capable of withstanding attacks from the Lord of the Universe (or even the strongest being in a weaker universe) without being destroyed, and can also bring out the effect of "weakening by one ten-thousandth".

Therefore, the core advantage of ordinary peak-level treasure armor is its high damage resistance limit, rather than its higher damage reduction multiplier!

This is an ordinary, top-tier treasure armor.

As for those even higher-grade, top-tier treasure armors, only those rare items from the cosmic sea that were incorporated during their forging, or those that were strengthened through special means, could possibly break through this limit and weaken material attacks to one ten-thousandth!

Furthermore, these top-tier armors often come with additional special effects, such as a certain degree of weakening against soul attacks!

"So this Golden Lotus Divine Armor is comparable in value to the Calamity Armor!" Hu Yanbo was shocked.

"The Ancestral God originally only intended to give me a top-tier treasure armor, but after some haggling, he relented and gave me a peak-level armor. Who could have imagined that what I ultimately received would be a peak-level, supreme-grade treasure armor!"

Thinking of this, Hu Yanbo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The Ancestral God is too arrogant!"

"oh!"

Hu Yanbo took a deep breath, his excitement and joy almost overflowing.

Expecting and possessing are two different things!

But when you think you just have something ordinary, but after unpacking it you find it's something far more precious than you imagined, the feeling is completely different!

This is not just an enhancement in the power of the treasure, but also a huge psychological satisfaction and a sense of security from being "favored".

"I was even thinking just now that the ancestral god was avoiding me, afraid I would demand more treasures!"

"Damn it! I!" Hu Yanbo recalled his previous speculation and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

If the ancestral god said he was going into seclusion, then he must have gone into seclusion.

You wouldn't lie to me.

Hu Yanbo stroked the now-disappeared Golden Lotus Divine Armor on his body, feeling its restrained yet immense power. He secretly vowed in his heart: "If one day either I or my disciple Luo Feng obtain the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, we will definitely give the Ancestral God Sect a severe explanation!"

"In any case, we must ensure that the three ancestral gods enjoy the same treatment as the highest-ranking members of our human race!"

'

Hu Yanbo knew very well how precious the "Golden Lotus Divine Armor" he wore was.

Even with the subtle guidance and favor of the primordial universe's original will, such a supreme treasure, placed within the deeply rooted Ancestral God Sect, would absolutely be a sect-protecting treasure, and its number would probably be extremely limited!

Let alone a newly promoted "Guardian Lord" like him, even those "Guardian Lords" who have already made great contributions to the Ancestral God Sect would probably need to complete many difficult tasks and accumulate enough merits before they would be qualified to apply for an exchange for a treasure of this level. Moreover, the competition would be extremely fierce.

"I, Huyanbo, will remember this kindness!"

Hu Yanbo kept this gratitude deep in his heart.

Of course, even if the Ancestral God gave him a supreme treasure, Hu Yanbo would still be extremely grateful.
