Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 164 Erecting a Monument and Support

The primordial universe, Chaos City.

The city lord's mansion is vast and imposing, with ancient and majestic buildings covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Two figures, not particularly tall, yet exuding an aura that seemed to freeze time and space around them, were walking slowly among the immortals and venerables moving about in the city lord's mansion.

Strangely, their existence seemed to exist on a completely different time and space level from the surrounding crowd. The immortal guards who hurried by, and even some powerful kings, all ignored them and could hardly detect them at all.

The two figures were dressed in a dark red battle armor with an ancient and complex style. A scaled tail hung down naturally from the battle skirt and swayed gently. Under the fiery red horn on his head was a face covered with secret patterns, which looked quite fierce but contained endless majesty.

He is one of the pillars of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City who resides in Chaos City.

The other person walking almost side by side with him was dressed in a set of magnificent armor engraved with intricate golden patterns. He had a handsome face, and two supple tentacles extending from his forehead swayed slightly, adding to his mysterious and peculiar appearance.

He is none other than Hu Yanbo, the nineteenth cosmic lord of the human race, who has recently stirred up a monstrous wave in the universe, killed the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, and whose fame has already spread among billions of races!

At this moment, they are heading towards the Chaos Stele, one of the three treasures of Chaos City.

"How do you feel?" The Lord of Chaos City tilted his head slightly.

"Tens of thousands of years ago you were still cultivating here, and today you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Your cultivation speed is so fast that even the original ancestor would have been amazed."

After Hu Yanbo participated in the Giant Axe Conference, his teacher, the Lord of Wilderness Mirror, told him about the Primordial Ancestor.

The Primordial Ancestor is the true ancestor of the human race. He is the teacher of many universe lords from the lineage of the Chaos City Lord and other virtual universe companies, as well as the guide on the cultivation path of many ancient universe lords, such as the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo revealed a humble yet confident smile: "You flatter me, City Lord. I only achieved my current position by chance."

"During this period, if it weren't for the city lord, the founder of the giant axe, and all my fellow cultivators who built the human race into such a prosperous place, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to cultivate to this level."

Hu Yanbo wasn't joking. The "advance payment system," though powerful, is not omnipotent.

The core rule of the system is that "borrowing the future requires paying the price."

Many repayment tasks, such as the "pre-payment of immortality upon arrival" require the comprehension of the Chaos Stele.

If humanity were a small, unstable race struggling to survive in the universe, then its space for advancement would probably be completely blocked.

Therefore, Huyanbo is still very grateful for the strength of the human race.

As they spoke, the two had already passed through layers of corridors and arrived at their destination.

Before you is an incredibly wide corridor, about 60 meters wide and 120 meters high.

On both sides of the corridor are rows of equally enormous bronze gates, each 120 meters high and about 160 meters wide. The gates are tightly closed and engraved with ancient characters such as "Giant Axe", "Heart Mark" and "Dragon Walk". In front of each bronze gate stands an old man with a kind face, dressed in a light gray robe.

They are the guardians of the Chaos Monument, the 52 avatars of the human race's veteran Venerable Kander.

"City Lord."

The first of the Kandri clones bowed respectfully upon seeing the Lord of Chaos arrive.

Immediately, his light fell upon Huyan Bo, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Lord of Chaos City.

Kandri's pupils contracted slightly, and a sincere respect instantly appeared on his face. He quickly bowed again, his voice several decibels higher than before: "Lord of All Things!"

At this moment, Kandri's heart was in turmoil.

He clearly remembered that tens of thousands of years ago, when the Lord of All Things broke through to become a king by comprehending the Chaos Stele, he admired his talent and even took the initiative to invite him to drink and chat.

"It's a pity that if the Lord of All Things had been weaker at the time, or if I had been stronger, I might have had a chance to guide him into the sect!"

""

When Huyanbo saw Kandri, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to say, "Kandri, it's been a long time."

"Once this matter is settled, let's find an opportunity to have another drink!"

Upon hearing this, Kander was flattered and his face was filled with excitement. He quickly replied, "Yes, yes! I will certainly accompany you; it would be my honor!"

At this moment, the Chaos City Lord spoke softly, "Kandri."

"Lord, please give your orders!" Kander immediately composed himself and answered respectfully.

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at the two massive bronze gates on either side and slowly said, "The Lord of All Things has erected a new Chaos Stele. I have come here today to open a new meditation chamber."

"From this day forward, you will be responsible for guarding one more Chaos Stele."

Although Kandri's own combat strength was only at the level of a high-level Venerable, he had always been a guardian, thanks to his special talent of creating numerous clones.

The best candidate to guide the Chaos Monument.

Unfortunately, he remained trapped in his current realm for countless years, never managing to comprehend the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic overlord.

Otherwise, with this talent for creating clones, the Virtual Universe Company would also have an immortal venerable being at the level of a cosmic overlord.

"I will obey the City Lord's order!" Kandri suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, solemnly accepted the order, and then said, "Please have the City Lord and the Lord of All Things go to the Enlightenment Chamber first, and I will immediately arrange for my clone to come and guard it."

"Let's go, Wanxiang." The Chaos City Lord nodded slightly and said to Huyanbo.

"Hmm." Hu Yanbo nodded and walked deeper into the corridor with the Chaos City Lord.

This corridor is magnificent and endless, with a forest of bronze gates on both sides, numbering over a hundred. However, only about half of the gates are engraved with mysterious characters, indicating that the Chaos Stele has already been installed.

These numerous blank bronze gates, left unmarked, signify the boundless expectations that the strongest people of humankind throughout history have for the future.

The Lord of Chaos City stopped before a massive bronze gate that had not yet been inscribed with any words, and turned to look at Huyan Bo: "Wanxiang, this Chaos Stele that you created will be the fifty-third one of our human race."

Having said that, the Lord of Chaos City raised his hand and pressed down, divine power slowly surging out, and the Bronze Gate was activated.

"I have long awaited this Chaos Stele that you created," the Chaos City Lord said as he stepped inside, his tone filled with undisguised admiration.

"The complete Path of the Beast God is the first of its kind in the history of our race, and its significance is extraordinary."

Hu Yanbo followed closely behind and stepped into the room.

His gaze swept across the area, and then he took a step forward, his figure instantly teleporting to the end of the cultivation chamber. There, there was a naturally formed, sunken platform that blended seamlessly with the ground, specifically designed to support the Chaos Stele.

"Buzz"

With a thought, Hu Yanbo caused the world to fluctuate, and a huge stone tablet appeared. The tablet had eleven pictures on it, and the words "Golden Beast God" were engraved on the edge.

Huyanbo used his divine power to manipulate the stone tablet and place it in a recessed area.

With a "click," the stone tablet was firmly placed there, fitting perfectly without any gaps, as if it had always been one piece.

"Starting with the Laws of Metal—"

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City had quietly arrived beside him, looking up intently at the eleven diagrams on the stone tablet.

His gaze first fell on the first four pictures.

At first glance, this initial part is based on the sharpness of the law of metal, gradually introducing the mystery of the law of space. It guides people from shallow to deep, making the path clear. It seems to be no different from the many Chaos Steles of the human race that are based on metal and space in terms of the entry path. They are all dignified and upright foundations of the Great Dao.

But what kind of being is the Lord of Chaos City?

In just a few breaths, he keenly perceived the most fundamental difference between this "Golden Beast God Chaos Stele" and other Chaos Steles!

A moment later, he suddenly turned to look at Huyan Bo, his eyes flashing with amazement, "Wanxiang, your map is truly extraordinary!"

He pointed to a claw mark drawn by the seemingly simple thread representing the sharpness of metal in the first picture: "You're not simply explaining the laws of metal and emptiness separately; you're subtly guiding the seeker from the very beginning to contemplate the seemingly accidental yet actually inevitable intrinsic connections between 'metal' and 'space.'"

For example, the claw marks in the first picture imply a certain spatial pattern;

The same applies to the second picture!

This allows practitioners to unconsciously view gold and emptiness with a sense of "connection" from the very beginning of their cultivation, laying an incredibly solid subconscious foundation for true integration later on!

This is a more sophisticated art of teaching that gets straight to the heart of the matter!

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo smiled sincerely.

"If, when they see the fifth image, they can truly grasp the mysteries of the first four, then I believe these astronomers will already be qualified practitioners of the Path of the Beast God!"

This "Beast God Chaos Stele" consists of eleven diagrams. The last seven diagrams correspond to the seven exquisite stages of the Golden Void Beast God's Path, which are progressively advanced. Its profoundness and guiding direction are similar to the seven realms of the Beast God's inheritance in the core area of ​​the Ancestral God Sect.

If one can fully comprehend the true meaning of the 8th picture, breaking through to the realm of the Universe Venerable will be a natural outcome.

"I imagine that those little guys in our race who have been stuck at the peak of the King realm for countless years, constantly pursuing the path of fusion between gold and space, if they could put aside their complicated thoughts and concentrate on studying your 'Beast God Chaos Stele,' it probably wouldn't be long before a few more Universe Venerables in the direction of gold and space would be born in our race!" the Chaos City Lord praised.

"This is far more exquisite than the Star Beast Chaos Stele created by the Star Prison Demon Lord (which expounds the Way of the Thunder Beast God)."

Although the Lord of Chaos City is not an expert in the fusion of laws, at his level, he has a commanding presence!

The vast difference between the two Chaos Monuments in terms of "guiding philosophy" and "entry threshold" was as clear to him as the bright moon in the dark night.

"Perhaps this is why the Star Prison Demon Lord has been unable to take the final step!" the Chaos City Lord thought to himself.

As for Hu Yanbo, he previously displayed more of a single law, but when he became the master of the universe, he had already integrated the laws.

The Lord of Chaos City did not wish to inquire about such secrets concerning personal paths.

At their level, what matters is the result, the tangible contribution to humanity.

The result was that Hu Yanbo succeeded, and did it even better than the Star Prison Demon Lord had done in billions of years!

that's enough.

"Now that the Chaos Stele has been erected, it should be put to good use." The Chaos City Lord collected his thoughts and walked with Hu Yanbo out of the secret chamber, while making arrangements, "I will immediately notify the leaders of each faction and have them arrange for suitable peak-level Kings under their command to come and study it as soon as possible."

"For those talented but already exhausted their quota of enlightenment opportunities, let them use their future clan contribution points in advance to gain enlightenment first."

"Once they break through using this monument, they can then serve their people and repay the debt."

Hu Yanbo, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Advance payment?" Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

"I remember the qualification to comprehend the Chaos Stele was determined by the number of levels one passed on the Heavenly Bridge, wasn't it? Why are they using this 'advance payment' system now?"

"Well, it seems this 'advance spending' trend isn't just happening to me; it's spreading to the entire clan's resource allocation as well?"

The two had already left the secret room while they were talking.

Outside the massive bronze gate, one of Kandri's clones was already waiting. Upon seeing the two, he immediately bowed respectfully.

Hu Yanbo, with his keen senses, noticed that the aura of his clone here was weaker than when he was at the entrance of the corridor.

It seems that this is an inevitable cost in maintaining the fifty-third avatar to share the burden of the divine body.

Even so, the fact that he can simultaneously guard 53 Chaos Monuments with 53 clones, and that each clone can maintain the strength of an ordinary Universe Venerable, makes this innate clone technique so profound and powerful that it is truly rare in the universe!

What?

You're saying this isn't a secret technique, but something Kandri created himself?

If Kendri truly created it himself, given his understanding of the laws and his mastery of the soul that enabled him to create such an exquisite clone technique, he should have already created a supreme technique at the level of a cosmic overlord, or even achieved something even greater.

There's absolutely no need to discuss with the Nine Swords Venerable where to venture into secret realms in search of opportunities.

They should have discussed it with the Immortal Venerable, shouldn't they?

"Kandri, this place is now in your care," the Chaos City Lord instructed. "Before long, the Kings and Immortals of various races who have received the news will come to study this 'Golden Beast God Chaos Stele'."

"Yes, Lord!" Kander bowed and replied.

Hu Yanbo also looked up at the newly erected bronze gate, and saw that four large characters had been engraved on the gate with divine power: "Golden Beast God".

He nodded slightly, then followed the Lord of Chaos City out of the corridor.

"Myriad phenomena." Walking through the empty corridor, the Chaos City Lord asked softly, "Besides erecting the Chaos Stele, did you also intend to exchange for some useful treasures from the clan's treasury during your visit to the Primordial Universe?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo was not surprised and nodded calmly, saying, "That's right."

The Lord of Chaos City continued, "Well, you've had many opportunities and your strength has increased extremely quickly, so it's only natural that your original treasures can't keep up."

"The giant axe has informed me that you may choose a treasure within the clan's treasury that has a value of up to one thousand treasure points."

"If this amount is still not enough, don't worry, you can contact him directly."

"Your community will fully support you."
