Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 163 All Things

Almost at the same instant the life imprint of the Lord of Sirius was completely annihilated, in a distant demon territory, within the vast virtual world that shrouded the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.

In a mountainous plane shrouded in endless clouds and mist, a colossal serpent, thousands of miles long and shimmering with silver light, is meandering and swimming.

This place is where the core of the demon race's high-ranking members gather. Besides it—the Dream Demon Ancestor—there are several other figures of different shapes and exuding powerful auras (all of them are divine incarnations of the Lord of the Universe) exchanging ideas here.

suddenly-

"Teacher Mengzu!"

An anxious voice rang out, and a giant beast covered in snow-white fur appeared, its ferocious aura not yet fully subdued. It was none other than Venerable Tianhua, who had just been resurrected and whose strength had been greatly diminished!

Its face no longer held its usual ferocity, only unprecedented panic.

"Hmm?" The clouds churned, and the Dream Demon Ancestor's enormous serpent head rose, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on Tianhua. "Tianhua, what is the matter that has caused such panic, and why are you calling for me so urgently?"

"Master Mengzu! It's shattered! Just now, the keepsakes that belonged to Master Tianlang in my hand suddenly—all of them shattered!"

Venerable Tianhua's voice trembled.

The Lord of Sirius is the leader of the Sirius Clan and its teacher; their relationship is very close!

"I immediately questioned my fellow disciples, and all the keepsakes they had related to Master Sirius were also broken!"

"The keepsake was broken?"

"Completely shattered?" The ancestor of the dream demons was stunned for a moment, then reacted and let out a low, furious hiss.

"hiss--!"

The token shattered completely, meaning the corresponding life imprint had been annihilated! The Lord of Sirius has fallen?!

How is this possible?!

Sirius is such a coward, how could he do this so suddenly!

Where did it go?

What happened?

Was it those old enemies from the primordial universe who made the move?

Otherwise, how could Sirius, possessing such a high-grade, supreme palace treasure, not have even sent out a request for help?

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly immediately!" In an instant, the Dream Demon Ancestor issued an order through the virtual world to all the online Demon Race Universe Lords and even some core Universe Venerables, asking if they knew the recent movements or last location of the Lord of Sirius.

However, the investigation takes time.

The teacher of "Sibwa the Sky Wolf in the Ice Prison" was just an ordinary cosmic venerable of the Sky Wolf Clan, not a direct disciple of the Sky Wolf Lord.

It was not qualified to leave an avatar in the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm, so it only knew that the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf had gone to rescue it, but did not know that the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf would be in trouble.

The other demons who knew of the fall of the Lord of Heavenly Wolf did not know the specific reason for his death or where he had gone.

The disruption of the information chain means that it will take the demon race a short period of time to pinpoint the specific location of the "Ice Prison Star Belt of the Wuhua Secret Realm".

The Frozen Star Belt, in the void.

With a thought, Hu Yanbo quickly collected the treasures that had been scattered after the fall of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the majestic, dark red palace—the Sirius Palace.

This is a top-tier palace-type treasure, worth 7-800 treasure points!

With the contribution of the Lord of Sirius, it seems we'll be able to acquire a decent domain treasure before heading to the Primordial Star!

The next instant, Huyan Bo appeared on the Heavenly Wolf Palace and began to imprint his life mark on it and collect it.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Venerable Qingkou and Venerable Zidoukou were already terrified.

Especially Venerable Qingkou, who even hid behind Venerable Zikou, trembling with fear!

A cosmic ruler was right before their eyes when Huyan Bo swiftly and decisively destroyed him!

The shock was unimaginable.

As Hu Yanbo toyed with the Sirius Palace, he glanced casually at the two Venerables, his indifferent voice echoing through the starry sky: "Gentlemen, the show's over. Aren't you going to release the humans you've captured?"

"Yes! Yes! Release them immediately!"

The Green Bandit Venerable, who was hiding behind the Purple Bandit Venerable, was startled and quickly responded, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

She quickly completed the actions that had been interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Lord of Sirius.

The cylindrical icicle reappeared in her palm, but this time, its trembling shape clearly revealed the turmoil within her heart.

"And, there's more," Hu Yanbo added, as if suddenly remembering something, "I heard King Zhenyan mention a little fellow in the Ice Prison named Yin Mou, who he gets along quite well with. Let's release that one as well."

This was naturally a request that King Zhenyan had just sent through the virtual universe, and Huyan Bo readily complied, thus fulfilling his duty as a friend.

"Understood!" Venerable Qingdou Kou immediately responded, his thoughts swiftly penetrating the Ice Prison.

A moment later, two figures appeared out of thin air in the starry sky. They were none other than the True King and the Immortal Silver Mou, a special life form with snow-white battle armor and fur.

When Zhenyan Wang saw the scene outside and Huyan Bo standing majestically on the Tianlang Palace, his eyes were filled with excitement (he had not yet learned the specifics), while Yin Mou looked bewildered and awe-inspiring.

A guy I just met said he'd bail me out, and he did it! His background must be incredibly powerful!

Hu Yanbo didn't say much. With a single activation of the Heavenly Wolf Palace, a gentle force swept up Zhenyan King and Yin Mou together and sent them directly into the Heavenly Wolf Palace.

Sirius Palace can't absorb top-tier cosmic overlords, but absorbing two invincible kings is still a piece of cake!

Having done all this, Hu Yanbo looked up into the depths of the endless void, wondering, "Even if these demons become the strongest in the universe, their intelligence isn't that great, is it?"

"They're really not as good as rock life forms, judging from this!"

"Sirius has been dead for some time now, yet their spirits haven't descended to investigate this place?"

The strongest being in the universe possesses their own universe and can rely on their own will to traverse endless space and time, descending to distant places.

"In comparison, the giant axe, let alone its will, was already waiting on the sidelines for a while."

As early as when Hu Yanbo unleashed the first sword strike of the Heavenly Wolf, he had already sent an urgent message to the creator of the giant axe through the virtual universe.

His predicted scenario was that once the Lord of Sirius fell, the strongest member of the demon race would descend with his will to investigate, and then his true body would quickly arrive through the divine kingdom's teleportation, immediately taking control of spacetime and sealing off the scene.

Although he was confident that the two strongest beings in the primordial universe could not harm him, who would reveal their trump card in advance?

Therefore, the creator of the giant axe arrived earlier and remained hidden.

But in the current situation, the will of the strongest demons has yet to arrive!

Such efficiency?

Hu Yanbo shook his head inwardly: "Tsk, this reaction speed... honestly, his intelligence is questionable!"

Since the other party gave him a chance, Hu Yanbo was happy to relax.

He turned to look at the still-shaken Venerable Zi Kou: "Zi Dou Kou."

Venerable Zidou Kou quickly and respectfully replied, "Please speak, Venerable One!"

Huyan Bo pointed into the void: "If the two strongest demons come to question me later, you should tell them the truth: it was I, Huyan Bo, who killed the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf."

"There's no need to hide it."

"I think that even if those two strongest demons are angry, given your status as one of the seventy-two divine generals of the Purple Knife Ancestral God Sect, they shouldn't be so shameless as to directly kill you."

This is no exaggeration.

The strong have their own tacit rules.

If members are killed due to conflicts over treasures or the benefits of secret realms, the Ancestral God Cult may not take drastic action.

However, if someone of Zi Kou Venerable's status were to be killed by the strongest member of the demon race without any reason, even though he had not participated in the battle and was clearly a member of the core of the Ancestral God Sect, it would be a blatant slap in the face to the Ancestral God Sect and a serious provocation to its authority!

At that time, the three ancestral gods will not sit idly by and will definitely demand an explanation from the demon race!

The Ancestral God Cult is, after all, the number one power in the universe. The demon race probably doesn't want to taste this price.

What? The strongest members of the demon race insist that this is a conspiracy? Where is the evidence?

What, no evidence is needed?

The three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect could deduce without evidence that the demon alliance inheritors, who were receiving the Beast God's inheritance in the Ancestral God's Mystic Realm, had simultaneously launched a killing spree. Therefore...

Because he was well aware of the risks involved, Huyan Bocai was not particularly worried that his arrangements would actually harm the Kou clan.

After Hu Yanbo finished speaking, with a thought, the void behind him rippled, and a vast and boundless phantom of a divine kingdom appeared out of thin air.

Immediately, he stepped inside, and his figure, along with the majestic Sirius Palace, vanished instantly beneath the cold starry sky, as if he had never existed.

Just seconds after Hu Yanbo left, "Buzz!!!"

Two ancient thoughts, like an invisible curtain, pierced through endless spatial distance and projected towards us!

Where thoughts intertwine, the void twists and conjures two towering figures that, though merely phantoms, make the starry sky tremble. One figure is surrounded by thousands of illusory silver snake shadows, each of which swallows and spits out galaxies, stirring up vortexes of spacetime.

The enormous silver serpent head slowly lowered, its cold, vertical pupils sweeping across the ravaged starry sky!

The other figure was a ferocious beast phantom that occupied the void. Its shell was covered with serrated spikes, exuding a savage and violent aura that could tear everything apart!

The two strongest demons, though not in their true forms, had already enveloped this world with their terrifying mental manifestations, carrying boundless rage and chilling killing intent!

The enormous silver serpent head turned, finally fixing its gaze on the Venerable Zi Kou in the distance.

"Purple Kou————"

"tell me----"

"What exactly happened here?"

"Who killed Sirius?"

"Huyanbo killed Tianlang!"

"It was my disciple, Huyan Bo, who killed Tianlang!"

"Yes! It's that Lord of the Heavenly Wolf who, relying on a top-grade palace treasure, is slippery and hard to handle, making countless powerful members of our Hong Alliance grit their teeth in hatred! Hahaha!"

The Lord of the Wasteland was laughing heartily in the palace, his consciousness chatting with someone in the virtual universe.

"Hey, speaking of which, how's your precious disciple doing lately? Has he ever managed to kill a Universe Lord on his own?"

""

Within the virtual universe, the Lord of Desolation paused deliberately, then seemed to suddenly remember: "Oh! Look at my memory! As for being a Lord of the Universe, I almost forgot, even you haven't yet recorded a single Lord of the Universe being killed by a single opponent!"

"Your apprentice? How could that be?"

"After all, we have a shared lineage, I understand, I understand! Hahaha!"

Once again, the Lord of Desolation's unrestrained laughter echoed through the palace.

Little did anyone know that just recently, when the Giant Axe Founder urgently summoned all the universe lords of the human race to personally announce the earth-shattering news that "Huyan Bo successfully killed the Demon Race's Sirius Lord in the Ice Prison Star Belt of the Wuhua Secret Realm," every single universe lord, including the Lord of Desolate Mirror himself, was completely stunned on the spot!

Yes, everyone was stunned!

Didn't Giant Axe just say not long ago that Huyan Bo had strength that rivaled that of Marquis You?

How long ago was "not long ago"?

Was it decades ago?

What is the concept of decades?

The cosmic rulers' furrowed brows and deep contemplation sometimes take even longer than this!

What does it mean to kill Tianlang and prevent him from escaping into the palace's treasure?

A fifth-order universe master?

A fourth-order universe master?

It can't possibly be a third-order one!

If it were a third-order universe master, Sirius would have plenty of time to escape into the Sirius Palace and wait for the rescue of the clan's powerful members!

Therefore, Hu Yanbo, who had only been promoted to the position of the Lord of the Universe for a few decades, was at least among the top ten in the human race, and might even be among the top five!

For this reason, the human race spent several years in a state of great joy, with its high-ranking members singing and dancing!

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, inside the Abyss Palace of the Glory Secret Realm.

"Lord of All Things! Hahaha, my disciple is actually the Lord of All Things!" Emperor Yuan raised his cup, his face glowing red, his voice resounding throughout the palace.

Huyanbo sat opposite his first teacher, smiling as he poured him a full glass of wine.

"What surprised me even more," the Abyss Emperor said excitedly, downing his cup of wine in one gulp, "is that your title, my disciple, actually came from the demon race!"

The true power of the Lord of the Universe is beyond the comprehension of the Abyss Emperor.

All he knew was that his disciple had achieved this feat by killing another universe lord!

Even its title, "Lord of All Things," was first spread by the demon race before it resounded among the human race.

The title "Lord of All Things" originated from a gasp of astonishment uttered by the two strongest members of the demon race in the Ice Prison Star Belt.

Through time travel, the two beings who stood at the pinnacle of the universe witnessed Hu Yanbo's methods: he not only unleashed a powerful soul attack, but also brought down the "Pale World," suppressing Tianlang so completely that he couldn't even cry for help.

Even more impressive was Huyan Bo's unparalleled physical attacks and his meticulously planned and cunning schemes, which moved even the strongest among the demon race.

He left behind an indignant sigh in the starry sky of the Ice Prison Star Belt: "Huyan Bo's methods are all-encompassing and unfathomable. Our race must never again be deceived by his appearances."

Thus, the title "Lord of All Things" spread like wildfire.

"You little rascal, even at your current level, you're still so humble." Emperor Yuan pointed at Huyan Bo, shaking his head and chuckling, his eyes full of emotion.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to introduce you to the Lord of the Wasteland early on."

"Otherwise, given your previous rate of breakthroughs and record-breaking performance, I'm afraid I would have done far more than just break a sweat!"

Hu Yanbo could feel the teacher's heartfelt concern and pride, and he smiled back.

He then casually produced several treasures that shimmered with light, their auras either as heavy as mountains or as ethereal as illusions.

He pushed the treasure in front of Emperor Yuan.

"Master, the Primordial Star is about to open, and all races of the universe will gather, along with many powerful beings. At that time, dangers will surely lurk everywhere. If you are going, these are some life-saving treasures that your disciple has prepared for you. Please accept them."

Before Yuanhuang could decline, Huyan Bo continued in a solemn tone, "This time, my disciple has killed a Universe Lord of the Demon Clan. This is a loss they have never experienced in countless eras, and they have lost all face. Since they cannot do anything to my disciple, they are very likely to turn their anger on my disciples' relatives and friends."

"As you know, Professor Huang Jian is thick-skinned and fearless, but you..."

'

"Therefore, for your own safety, and so that your disciple can be single-minded when venturing into the universe, you must accept these things."

Looking at the several treasures before him that exuded a power that made his heart tremble, and then at the unwavering determination and deep-seated worry in his disciple's eyes, the words of excuse that were about to come out of his mouth finally turned into a long sigh.

When Hu Yanbo saw that his teacher had finally accepted the treasure, the barely perceptible seriousness between his brows quietly dissipated, replaced by a clear and bright expression.

He raised the jade cup in his hand again, the clear wine rippled slightly in it, reflecting the starlight flowing in the hall.

"Teacher," Hu Yanbo said with a warm smile, his voice filled with heartfelt gratitude.

"To you."
