Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 168 Greatness needs no further explanation

Over the next few days, Hu Yanbo traveled between several different primordial stars.

With the "system" imprinting divine power marks on the eight divine swords as sensors, Hu Yanbo could roughly know where they were located.

After all, for those above the Immortal level and below the True God level, their divine power includes the soul, and as long as they are not too far away, they can sense where the soul is.

Furthermore, as long as Hu Yanbo appears on the original star where the divine sword is located, his perception will be even clearer.

Until they reach the area that buries them, they will be summoned from within the primordial star.

Of course, if the divine sword were to appear earlier and be obtained by other powerful individuals, they could erase the mark simply by spending time and effort to cleanse it.

Fortunately, this was during the early stages of the Primordial Star's opening, and Hu Yanbo's actions were faster than anyone could imagine, so he managed to obtain all eight divine swords.

Finally, on a primordial star numbered 7420, in the core of a silent swamp, Huyan Bo retrieved the last black divine sword.

He floated in the void, and with a thought, he moved his mind.

"Buzz"

The dark golden compass core that had been resting within his body seemed to be summoned and automatically emerged.

At the same time, nine other divine swords flew out of the World Ring and slowly rotated around the compass as if paying homage to a monarch.

The nine swords, arranged in a single disc, shone brightly, and their respective laws and secret patterns began to connect and resonate automatically!

A terrifying aura, a hundred times more powerful and vast than any single component, was faintly contained within, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly. However, all the strange phenomena were firmly contained within Hu Yanbo's small space, without leaking out even a fraction of them.

At this moment, the complete Jianhe Luo truly saw the light of day again!

In the blink of an eye, a river of swords can be unleashed that sweeps across the galaxy, covering dozens of light-years in diameter, and is extremely powerful in trapping, killing, and annihilating!

As Hu Yanbo watched the nine swords and one plate slowly rotate beside him and then merge into his palm, causing the pattern of the nine swords and one plate to appear on his palm, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Obtaining a top-tier domain treasure isn't as difficult as the Chaos City Lord and the others made it out to be!"

Many of the most renowned cosmic rulers in the universe also use top-tier treasures from their respective domains.

Moreover, this Sword River Luo is a supreme treasure of the sword-shaped domain. Swords are weapons of attack, and in terms of power, it is even stronger than the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River, and it is also easier to obtain.

The Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River was something he obtained after a brutal battle.

It should be noted that a complete top-tier domain-level treasure, even in the three great forbidden lands of the Cosmic Sea—the Peak Realm, the Flowing Mountains, and…

The inner domain of the spaceship can only be revealed once in a long period of time under specific circumstances!

Each time it is born, it inevitably triggers a fierce battle involving several or even dozens of universe lords, and it is common for universe lords to perish as a result.

"Not only did no battle occur, but it also averted potential bloody conflicts or even deaths among other universe lords over this treasure!"

Hu Yanbo gazed into the void, as if he could see the cosmic venerables on many primordial stars who fought bloody battles and lost their lives for a common treasure or even a great treasure.

They also foresaw the future cosmic ruler who might perish because of this supreme treasure.

Greatness needs no further explanation.

"In the long years that followed, Hu Yanbo's figure roamed every corner of the many primordial stars."

The primordial star is activated once every few lifetimes, and each activation only lasts for 1000 epochs.

Throughout these 1000 eras, top-tier treasures of the same level as "Sword River Luo"—whether top-tier domain-type, soul-type, flying palace-type, or peak weapon treasures—will appear several times.

Moreover, most of these precious treasures, like the "Sword River Luo", are broken down into core components and parts. The core components are hidden in the treasure land, while the parts are mostly hidden on 10081 original stars.

Only by patiently waiting for the destined person to collect the corresponding tokens can the acquisition be unlocked.

For the powerful among the billions of races in the universe, this is a long, bloody, and uncertain "card collecting" game, a comprehensive contest of luck, strength, and background.

But for Huyanbo, in just a few hundred years, he had upgraded his equipment almost every generation.

Apart from the "Golden Lotus Divine Armor" she was wearing.

There's no way around it, the ultimate treasure armor is just too valuable. Each time the Primal Star opens, there's only one treasure that can surpass it!

The treasure trove to which that precious artifact belonged was still more than 200 years away from being discovered.

On this day, on Primal Star No. 1111, outside the majestic Sword Clan, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

After hundreds of years of open and covert struggles, bloody battles, and exchanges of interests, the nine different tokens required to open the "Sword Clan" have finally been gathered by various forces.

At this moment, the nine super-strong individuals who possessed the tokens had gathered at the entrance of the Sword Tomb!

These nine individuals are all powerful figures who command respect in their respective regions!

Three of them are true masters of the universe: the Demon Lord from the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Flame Emperor from the Nine Domains Alliance, and the Sky Lord from the Thorn Ring Alliance!

The other six, though not the rulers of the universe, are top-tier cosmic overlords with extremely high levels of life genes and enormous divine bodies, whose strength is enough to save their lives under the rule of the universe's ruler, and even to briefly contend with him!

Nine figures radiating immense divine power stood wary of each other. It was clear that the three universe lords stood apart, while the six top overlords moved closer to each other, obviously joining forces to try and seize that supreme treasure.

The nine powerful figures simultaneously channeled their divine power into the tokens in their hands.

"Buzz—!"

The ancient stone tablet at the entrance to the Sword Tomb shone brightly, with nine sword-shaped patterns flowing and merging. The heavy stone door slowly opened with a rumbling sound, revealing a deep and mysterious passage behind it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the entire Jian family tomb is less than 100,000 kilometers in diameter. It contains its own world, including the main tomb, the side tombs, and so on. Even with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, it's still not considered too big!

This is also the experience gained from countless openings of the Primordial Star regarding the treasure land.

"Enter!"

Someone gave a low shout, and nine streams of light rushed into the sword tomb almost simultaneously!

As the nine streams of light entered, the Jian family closed the entrance once again.

Besides the Jian family, dozens of cosmic venerables from various forces, both near and far, were also watching. This was a major event, and anyone who could get a firsthand account of it would be able to boast about it to other venerables in their clan.

In the original story, Luo Feng often heard rumors about the Primordial Star from Venerable Niu Zhou.

Of course, we also owe a great deal to the Lord of the Universe, who enforces the unspoken rule that top overlords cannot indiscriminately kill the weak.

After an unknown amount of time, "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" ————

Nine streaks of light, swift in their departure but returning with an indescribable sluggishness and dullness, shot out one after another from the entrance of the Sword Tomb, revealing their forms.

These are the nine super strong individuals who entered earlier!

The three cosmic rulers had faces so gloomy they seemed to drip water, and the low pressure emanating from them caused the surrounding spacetime to distort and groan.

The Flame Emperor's face darkened, and his divine power fluctuated, clearly indicating that something had happened to him.

The other six top cosmic overlords also looked ashen-faced, but their expressions were not as gloomy as those of the three cosmic lords.

The nine people hovered in mid-air, and none of them spoke, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

This bizarre scene left all the cosmic venerables watching from afar dumbfounded.

"What, what's going on?" A cosmic venerable from the Northern Frontier Alliance couldn't help but transmit his voice to his companion beside him, his voice filled with astonishment, "How did they get out so quickly?"

"And something seems off?"

"Something's more than just wrong!" his companion echoed.

"Nine super-strong individuals, at the very least top-tier overlords with life genes exceeding 2000 times!"

"Entering to fight for a top-tier treasure! Normally, even if the fighting is fierce and chaotic, and some people perish, it's quite normal."

"Even if no one falls, surely one person will eventually emerge victorious, wielding the ultimate treasure, and filled with pride and satisfaction?"

"But what's going on now? All nine of them, every single one of them, looks terribly pale!"

"What happened inside the Sword Tomb?" This question simultaneously arose in the minds of many cosmic venerables outside.

What happened inside the Jian family? The moment the Jian family's stone gate opened, the three universe lords, led by the Flame Emperor, the Lord of the Demon Realm, and the Lord of the Sky, burst forth with terrifying speed like three bolts of lightning tearing through the void, leaving the six top universe overlords who were following closely behind far behind!

Their goal was crystal clear—the Jian family's most central main tomb!

As for the great treasures and ordinary treasures inside the Sword Tomb, they were like dust in their eyes!

Taking the lead and unstoppable!

Emperor Yan was engulfed in dark red flames and held a ferocious halberd in his hand!

He was the most powerful of the three universe lords in terms of both offense and defense. At this moment, he was holding nothing back, determined to be the first to rush into the core and seize the supreme treasure sword, He Luo!

"Overturning Demon! Xiaoyan! Don't even think about fighting me!" Yan Di roared, sweeping his halberd horizontally. A dark red halberd light forced the Overturning Demon Lord, who was trying to overtake from the flank, back. At the same time, he withstood a strange soul impact from the Xiaoyan Lord. His figure only paused slightly before accelerating forward again!

With his absolute advantage in strength, Yan Di successfully suppressed the other two universe lords, and took the lead, like a burning meteor, smashing the last barrier of the main tomb!

"The supreme treasure of the realm is mine!" The Flame Emperor's eyes gleamed with an unwavering determination, and his divine sense swept across the entire main tomb like a tidal wave!

However, the next instant, the ferocious smile on his face, which had been full of confidence, froze completely!

empty? !

The diameter of the main hall is approximately several million kilometers.

The interior is simply furnished, with only a tall altar in the center, above which should have been the location where the treasure should have been suspended.

At this moment, however, it was completely empty!

Forget about top-tier treasures, there wasn't even a single ordinary fragment of a precious treasure!

"How... how is this possible?!" Yan Di's mind went blank for a moment.

Having spent countless hours and paid a huge price to obtain the token, he was the first to break into the core—only to be greeted by an empty, shockingly clean room?!

In that instant when Emperor Yan was stunned—

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The figures of the Lord of Overturning Demons and the Lord of the Sky also rushed in almost simultaneously!

They are also at the third tier. No matter how strong Yan Di is, he can only suppress them slightly with his attacks and reckless defense. He can't let them fall behind by much.

Their divine senses also swept across the entire core chamber in an instant.

The same emptiness!

The same deathly silence!

The two cosmic lords first exchanged glances, and then their eyes were fixed on the Yan Emperor, the only one who had arrived before them and was now standing in the distance with a somewhat stiff back view!

"Emperor Yan!!"

"Hand over the treasure!" The Lord of Demons' voice was icy cold, and demonic energy surged around him.

"Impressive technique! To be able to imprint divine power into a supreme treasure so quickly right under our noses!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Xiaoyan.

Almost simultaneously, the six top universe overlords also rushed in. When they saw the empty altar and the confrontation between the three universe lords, they were first stunned, and then immediately turned their suspicious gazes to Yan Di, who had arrived first!

"Emperor Yan! Hand over the supreme treasure!"

"Don't even think about taking it all for yourself!"

At this moment, Emperor Yan was truly speechless!

Especially since he had acted so aggressively before, as if he was determined to win!

He's definitely going to take the blame for this!

If mud gets in your crotch, even if it's not poop, it'll still look like poop!

"Damn it! This is how it was when I came in!" Emperor Yan shouted angrily, both surprised and furious.

He felt utterly wronged!

Whether Emperor Yan was wronged or not, Hu Yanbo, who was currently watching the show from a distance in the Sword Tomb, knew better than anyone.

He deliberately adjusted his route, traversing the vortex passage several times, to make a special trip to this original star, number 1111, to see it.

The token originally in Hu Yanbo's possession had already been "reasonably" transferred to a Universe Venerable of the Demon Clan Alliance, and was eventually presented to a top-tier Universe Overlord.

The entire process was flawless, and even if traced back, it could not be traced back to Huyanbo.

Besides, you should be grateful to have obtained the token; why bother going back on it?

It was only because all nine tokens were finally complete that the sword family was able to successfully open the gates.

Otherwise, without Huyan Bo as a token, the play simply couldn't have been performed.

At this moment, Hu Yanbo watched with great interest the frustrated and embarrassed state of Emperor Yan outside.

He truly hadn't expected that it would be the Yan Emperor who was unlucky. According to the original novel, it was supposed to be the Universe Lord of the One-Piercing Ring Alliance that obtained it, but unexpectedly, this time the Yan Emperor had the upper hand.

"This Yan Emperor, with his arrogant and domineering personality, it seems that not only our human race, but also many powerful figures from other super powers are quite unhappy with him!"

"This way, even if there are no supreme treasures in the Sword Tomb, other powerful individuals can still unite to teach Emperor Yan a lesson."

Although Hu Yanbo couldn't see what was happening within the Jian family, he could roughly deduce it.

Emperor Yan was one step ahead, but that was all he was capable of!

The divine imprint leaves a personal mark of one's soul on a treasure. If the difference is only a fraction of a second, it is impossible to imprint without interference.

The difference between the lords of the universe is at most a moment, and Hu Yanbo doesn't think that Yan Di can surpass the other two present by much.

And how can one perform the series of actions of "retrieving the treasure, branding, and hiding" in a single instant without being noticed by anyone?

This is simply a fantasy!

As rulers of the universe, how could the Lord of Overturning Demons and the Lord of the Sky not understand this principle?

Therefore, it is likely that the eight powerful figures understood the situation perfectly the moment they rushed into the core room and found it empty!

The core of the Sword Clan was most likely empty from the very beginning.

But realizing the truth doesn't mean they'll tell it, much less that they'll let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Yan Di was used to being arrogant. Relying on his connection with the most mysterious and strongest being in the primordial universe, Zuo Shan Ke, he acted as if he were the only one who mattered, not only in words but also in deeds!

Not many people enjoy watching him.

"Now that the treasure is gone, and Emperor Yan is still using it to his advantage, we can't just have made a wasted trip!"

This thought flashed through the minds of the two powerful figures, the Lord of Demon Overthrow and the Lord of Sky Evolution!

They immediately took the lead and attacked, and the top cosmic overlords who arrived later also joined the attack when they saw this scene.

Thus, the above scenario came about.

Fortunately, Emperor Yan still possesses the "Calamity Armor" and wields the supreme treasure "Yan God Halberd," enabling him to resist twice.

Otherwise, if two third-tier universe masters joined forces with six top overlords, even top-tier treasure armor would not be enough to withstand them, and Yan Emperor would be in a much worse state than he is now.

Outside the Jian family compound, facing the gazes of the Demon Lord, the Lord of the Sky, and others, Emperor Yan was enraged, flames surging around him as he roared furiously, "I told you! I didn't take it! The core chamber of the Sword Tomb is completely empty! Believe it or not!"

Having said that, he seemed to realize that lingering would be pointless and that staying any longer would only make things more awkward and could lead to another conflict. So he snorted angrily, transformed into a blazing flame, tore through the void, and flew away without looking back toward the distant vortex passage!

The Lord of Overturning Demons, the Lord of Sky Evolution, and others watched the Flame Emperor leave with grim expressions. They exchanged wary glances, their divine senses sweeping over the now-closed Sword Tomb once more with resentment. In the end, they could only disperse, filled with doubt and a sense of inexplicable unease.

The six top overlords also dispersed.

This is left for the super-powerful beings of the entire primordial universe to ponder—what exactly happened on the primordial star?

There was no treasure in the first treasure location!

What will happen to the treasure land after that?
