Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 171 The Kidnapper - The Primitive Universe

In the virtual universe, on the sacred mountain of glory, outside the corridor of the Huyanbo Palace, beside a stone dining table.

The burly figure of the Lord of the Wilderness sat opposite Huyan Bo, with fine wine and delicacies laid out before them.

"Disciple, the Qi Temple has already emerged, and it concerns the greatest opportunity on the Primordial Star. Can you sense the location of the Qi Mirror Stone?" the Lord of the Desolate Mirror asked.

The Lord of Desolation could not help but care.

The Temple of the Divine Gods—this is the greatest treasure trove opened by the Primordial Star this time!

In the past, whenever the Primal Star opened and the greatest treasure was revealed, human races (including the Hongmeng) often didn't even have a chance to get a share of it in the struggle for it.

Let alone finally obtaining the treasures within the temple, many times they can't even find a trace of the tokens needed to open the temple.

After all, there are 10081 primordial stars, which are vast and boundless. The time and place of the tokens appearing are completely random, and their numbers are extremely rare.

Even a powerful force like the Northern Frontier Alliance, which possesses a vast number of Universe Venerables and Universe Lords, occasionally finds itself with nothing to show for its efforts.

For forces like the Hongmeng, which have even fewer powerful members, this happens even more frequently.

"able!"

Huyanbo tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

His current true form is now preparing to depart for the Primordial Star.

Even before entering, he could sense a faint guiding force!

If there is still some guidance outside the original star, it should be the Qijing Stone if nothing unexpected happens.

"Good! Good!" Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Wasteland's face instantly broke into a hearty smile.

"Haha! In this way, our human race will acquire another treasure comparable to a top-tier domain-level treasure!"

He thought to himself, "And this treasure will even come from the hands of my disciple, Huang Jian!"

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Huyanbo was filled with a hint of envy.

Treasures at the pinnacle of the realm are the most outstanding treasures below the supreme treasures and rare items. Even the Lord of Desolate Mirror, who had traversed the universe for countless years, had not been able to possess one.

But his own disciple is about to receive it.

The Lord of the Desolate Realm, upon further reflection, felt even more gratified. "It's a good thing that my disciple has such an opportunity and strength!"

"A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher; isn't that the goal a teacher should strive for?"

While the Lord of the Wilderness was still in high spirits, Huyan Bo said.

"Teacher, I intend to dedicate this treasure to my people."

"Huh?" The Lord of the Wasteland's smile froze, and he quickly waved his hand, "Disciple, there's no need! Absolutely no need! This was obtained by your own fortuitous chance, and it rightfully belongs to you!"

"Now is the time when you need a powerful treasure to protect you as you venture into the vast universe. Keep it for yourself!"

He thought Huyanbo was concerned about the contributions of his ethnic group, so he quickly explained.

After all, a supreme treasure of the highest level can greatly enhance the strength of a universe master.

Hu Yanbo smiled slightly and explained, "Teacher, it's not what you think. It's this Qishen Temple. I have a feeling that even if I obtain the Qijing Stone, I won't be able to enter with just one Qijing Stone."

"The Temple of the Divine God will only open after all the Divine Mirror Stones have been collected."

"Therefore, I intend to give this Mirror Stone to the founder of the Giant Axe."

"This, I suppose, is my small contribution to my community."

After hearing this, the Lord of the Wilderness was stunned. He looked at Hu Yanbo carefully and saw that his eyes were clear and honest, not fake. A complex and indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

"What is greatness? This is it!"

It should be noted that each time the original star opens, the ultimate treasure in the final treasure trove does not necessarily belong to the strongest being in the universe!

Throughout history, there have been many rulers of the universe.

With Hu Yanbo's current strength as a top-tier fourth-order universe master, he is fully capable of participating in the final battle for the supreme treasure, and his chances are quite good!

But just like that, he casually gave this opportunity to the tribe and handed it over to the founder of the giant axe!

Once the founder of the Giant Axe makes a move, even if he ultimately succeeds in obtaining the treasure, the treasure will belong to the clan and the Giant Axe, and no longer to Hu Yanbo personally.

He voluntarily relinquished all ownership of this supreme treasure!

Moreover, even if the creator of the giant axe were to personally take action, he would only have a slightly higher chance of success than the Lord of the Universe; it would not be a 100% guarantee of success.

If this isn't greatness, then what is?!

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror was deeply moved by his disciple's magnanimity and was about to say something more when Hu Yanbo seemed to suddenly think of something and blinked: "Teacher, why don't you take this Qijing Stone and use it?"

Hu Yanbo had never considered giving it to the Lord of the Wilderness, mainly because he felt that it would take millions of years or even longer to gather all the Qijing Stones and open the Qishen Temple.

And what about a million years from now?

I reckon he shouldn't be at the level of a universe master anymore!

Perhaps they have already broken through to a higher realm, and they should have enough treasures of the level of a peak palace treasure to possess!

But now he thought about it again: he could grow up "rapidly," but what about his teacher, the Master of Judgment?

Millions of years later, if the teacher remains at the same level, a supreme treasure would greatly enhance the teacher's strength!

"But then again, with a disciple like me, will Master Huangjian ever lack treasure makers?" Hu Yanbo muttered to himself.

Just as his thoughts were wandering and he was about to add a few more words, his expression suddenly changed!

"Teacher! I've encountered the strongest being in the universe! On Primal Star No. 666! It seems to be coming for me!" Hu Yanbo spoke very quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished into thin air, his consciousness returning instantly.

At the dining table, only the Lord of Desolation remained, his expression shifting from previous感慨 and 慰得 to boundless shock and rage in an instant!

"The strongest being in the universe?! How dare you ambush my disciple on the Primordial Star?!" The Lord of Desolate Mirror suddenly stood up!

"Have these three top-tier alien races gone mad?"

Hu Yanbo already possesses top-tier fourth-order strength, yet he still sends the strongest being in the universe to kill him?

After all, apart from these three hostile alien races who have been locked in a life-or-death struggle, the Lord of Desolation could not imagine any other force that could hire the strongest being in the universe to intercept the Lord of the Universe.

In reality, the true form of the Lord of Desolation, who was stationed at the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, instantly unleashed overwhelming divine power!

"Buzz!"

The portal to the divine realm is now open!

"We must go to their aid immediately!"

The figure of the Lord of Desolation rushed into the Divine Kingdom passage in an instant, and his consciousness also hurriedly notified the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, among others.

Original Star No. 666, due to its relatively close proximity to human territory via the cosmic passage it connects to, is within the sphere of influence of the powerful Hongmeng clan and is one of the main gateways for strong members of the human faction to enter and exit Original Star.

Hu Yanbo usually enters the original star through this passage.

Upon entering the original star numbered 666, he intended to follow his senses to the location of the Mirror Stone. However, not long after stepping into this familiar territory, and before even reaching the other vortex passage areas, a sense of crisis that made his soul tremble was instantly poured over him like ice water!

"not good!"

Hu Yanbo suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, his divine power surging up instantly.

His sharp gaze pierced through the void, locking onto the endless black currents that suddenly surged forth from the once calm wasteland!

In the blink of an eye, these air currents formed a blurry, majestic figure that lingered in the endless darkness.

Through the surging black air currents, Hu Yanbo could vaguely see at the core of the air currents the outline of what appeared to be a mysterious suit of armor stained with specks of dark gold, as if it were blood that would never dry.

"The strongest in the universe!" Hu Yanbo's heart sank as he instantly judged the level of the newcomer.

Only the deliberate concealment of the strongest being in the universe could prevent him from noticing it for a while.

"This is an illusion..."

Just as Hu Yanbo's thoughts flashed through his mind, the towering figure in the black aura seemed to turn its head slightly.

Hu Yanbo met a pair of eyes.

Those weren't eyes in the traditional sense, but two constantly spinning black vortexes!

Deep within the vortex, countless worlds seem to be born and die, billions of living beings are wailing and sinking, and there is a strange power that intertwines illusion and reality, pointing directly to the origin of the soul!

With just a glance, Hu Yanbo felt that this was a soul attack that was countless times more powerful than the Dark Lord's strongest secret technique!

"Buzz—!"

"Illusion! Shatter it!"

As soon as the illusion attack landed, Hu Yanbo burned his divine power and broke through the illusion. He then saw a huge hand emerging from the black air currents, wrapped in an aura of destruction!

Hu Yanbo also moved instantly. His "Sword River Luo" domain was instantly pushed to its limit. Countless golden swords roared and converged into a golden giant sword. He controlled it with his will and consciousness, and with the help of his innate secret technique, he unleashed his strongest attack, fiercely meeting the giant palm that was pressing down!

"Boom—!"

An energy shockwave swept in all directions, and a world-shaking collision erupted in Hu Yanbo's perception!

On the actual original star, designated 666, the scene was completely different.

From the outside, from the moment Hu Yanbo met the eyes of the illusory demon god, he seemed to be frozen in place.

The two black vortexes of the illusory demon god continued to spin. He dared not relax in the slightest, for fear that if he relaxed even slightly, Huyan Bo would break free!

He could sense that Hu Yanbo was protected by a top-tier soul treasure, making his soul defense powerful. However, perhaps because his improvement was too rapid, his will and consciousness couldn't keep up.

That's why he trapped me in his illusion.

Even so, he still had to do his best to control the illusion.

"Shihua, Zuoshanke! Why aren't you making your move? What are you waiting for?!" roared the Void Demon God.

"Whoosh!"

"Buzz"

On the left, endless starlight converges, as if a miniature universe has been directly moved here.

The starlight was dazzling and peaceful, yet it carried an undeniable and absolute majesty.

At the core of the starlight, a majestic figure shrouded in a hazy glow stepped out—it was none other than the Lord of the Primordial Island!

His gaze swept calmly over Huyan Bo, who was trapped by the illusion, and he casually waved his sleeve.

Instantly, endless starlight filled the entire primordial star, instantly transforming the entire primordial star 666 into an enormous,

A magnificent yet impregnable starlight prison!

It is the power of the ultimate treasure of the pinnacle realm, the Endless Star Sea!

On the right, an ordinary-looking old man in a simple gray robe appeared silently; he was sitting on a green mountain peak.

"Is her willpower really that weak?"

"I reckon that opportunity wasn't anything good, and luckily it was me who came!"

This time, the alliance of the three top races—the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race—has indeed shown unprecedented killing intent!

The Illusory God and the Mirror Stream became the strongest beings in the universe.

The Primordial Island Master and the Mountain-Sitting Guest are the two most mysterious and unpredictable strongest beings in the primordial universe.

In fact, this lineup was far beyond what Dream Demon Ancestor and the others had expected.

Originally, it was thought that it would be impossible to invite such a luxurious lineup, but it seems that these three strongest individuals themselves have also become interested in the secret of Hu Yanbo's "unexpected rise" and "the fact that after six thousand epochs of mediocrity, he was able to rise like a rocket to become a fourth-order universe master in just about four epochs"!

They didn't even ask for a high price, but they were only responsible for suppressing, not killing.

They also wanted to understand the secret behind Huyanbo's rapid advancement.

Here, the mountain dweller waved his hand, and a strange little pagoda appeared, enveloping Huyanbo.

Immediately, divine power surged, and the small tower continued to expand!

However, "Buzz →

Without warning, a chain made entirely of golden light appeared out of thin air in the void beside the Mountain Guest!

It instantly wrapped around the right arm of the mountain dweller!

As the chains tightened around his body, the mountain dweller shuddered violently, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror!

This is not over yet!

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"----

Immediately afterwards, a second emerald green chain, full of life yet carrying a binding force, extended from the void and bound his left arm!

A third, light blue chain, seemingly formed from the ocean, wrapped around his waist!

Articles 4, 5, 6...

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Time, Space!

The ten fundamental laws that form the basis of the original universe have now transformed into ten solid chains of different shapes and colors. One after another, like weaving a net, they silently spread out from the void and bind the Mountain-Sitting Guest layer by layer!

"The chains of the fundamental laws of the universe?! How is this possible?!" The Mountain Guest exclaimed in shock. He tried to struggle, but the power emanating from those chains was boundless, as if the entire primordial universe was suppressing him!

His divine power is being imprisoned, but his will and consciousness remain intact!

What terrified him even more was that these chains were dragging him, trying to pull him into the unknown depths of the void behind him!

This sudden and completely incomprehensible scene not only stunned the True Demon God and the Lord of the Primordial Island, but also left Hu Yanbo, who was originally planning to find an opportunity to escape or self-destruct, completely dumbfounded!

That's right, Hu Yanbo woke up a long time ago!

While the illusions of the True and False Demon Gods are indeed bizarre and powerful, Hu Yanbo's will and consciousness, with the help of the system and the essential nourishment brought by the enormous divine body of the Endless Nether Sea clone, have already reached the peak level of the Lord of the Universe!

Moreover, his soul is protected by the top-tier soul treasure "Night Armor," and he wears the peak-grade armor "Golden Lotus Divine Armor," which also has a weakening effect on soul attacks.

The combined power of these three elements meant that Hu Yanbo could easily break free from the illusionary magic that the True Demon God could use in the primordial universe with a single tremor of divine power the moment he made contact!

The so-called "being trapped in an illusion" was just a ploy by him to experience how amazing this "illusionary demon god's" ability to "make the fake real" was, and to see what the other party was really up to.

After all, through the senses of his Nine Netherworld clone, he could clearly know how much time had passed in the outside world.

In the endless world of illusion, only a moment has passed in the outside world.

However, to everyone's surprise, a moment later, they witnessed this unbelievable scene—the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the reincarnation of a god-king, was actually bound by chains formed from the primordial laws of the universe?!

Are we going to be dragged away again?!

"What... what's going on?!" Hu Yanbo was a little confused. "Wasn't it said that the primordial cosmic will is just empty talk without the promise of a supreme rule?"

"Can't you deal with anyone?"
