Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 182 I came all this way, only to get beaten up along with you. What a waste of my time!

Spaceship, Inner Realm, Furnace Canyon.

This is an extremely strange and dangerous region.

From above, the canyon looks like a huge wound cleaved by an unimaginable giant axe, radiating outwards over a range of nearly ten thousand light-years.

In some areas, the space is completely frozen without any fluctuations, and there are very few areas where teleportation is possible.

At the bottom of the canyon, halos of various colors—dark gold, crimson, dark blue, and pale white—flicker and collide in the viscous fluid, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures. Without the protection of a top-tier treasure, even the divine body of a cosmic lord would be annihilated upon contact.

Deep within this extremely treacherous environment, a jet-black, tower-shaped flying palace is carefully navigating through several relatively stable "molten flow gaps."

Inside the tower, the Lord of Darkness sat on his throne, gazing through the palace's treasures at the scene outside where destruction and splendor coexisted.

"Fortunately, the Mountain Dweller marked the dangers of 'Furnace Canyon' in great detail on the map, and even marked several relatively stable 'Molten Gap' paths," the Dark Lord sighed. "Otherwise, I really wouldn't have dared to come here on my own."

He recalled the thrilling scene from not long ago.

The appearance of those two supreme treasures caused such a great commotion that it not only attracted itself but also the Lord of the Five Chaos!

However, wherever the Lord of the Five Chaos passed, the dark golden molten flow at the bottom of the canyon suddenly changed, forming a super-giant vortex without warning!

"Boundless golden flames suddenly erupted from the vortex, instantly forming a destructive barrier spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, temporarily severing the Five Chaos Lords."

"If the canyon environment hadn't suddenly changed, I really wouldn't have been able to take these two supreme treasures into it!" the Lord of Darkness sighed inwardly.

Even if he possesses the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, which allows him to briefly reach the sixth rank, it is still impossible for him to outrun the Lord of the Five Chaos. The speed limit of the Lord of the Universe is just that!

Let alone the sixth rank, even Luo Feng, the master of the universe in the original work, who could easily kill the strongest person in the universe, could not break through this limitation.

"The Lord of the Five Chaos is still chasing me, and I can't shake him off. I just hope that the giant axe's support will arrive in time!" The Lord of Darkness said with a heavy heart.

Killing the Lord of the Five Chaos, who possesses the supreme defensive treasure "Extinction God Armor," and keeping his movements unknown is nearly impossible.

On the contrary, it is easier to get into a stalemate, and getting into a stalemate in such a place is tantamount to suicide, only attracting more sharks that smell blood.

The Lord of Darkness thus controlled the Black Tower to meander along a relatively hidden path marked on the map by the Mountain Dweller, heading towards a safer temporary coordinate point on the outskirts of the canyon, while constantly sensing the movements of the outside world.

Thinking about which location could allow them to shake off the Lord of the Five Chaos.

Just as the Lord of Darkness was struggling through the Forge Canyon.

Within a distant, small universe belonging to the First God of the First Cycle.

Seven imposing figures sat quietly in meditation.

Behind each of them floated a white halo radiating an aura of holiness and majesty.

In the center of the halo, a single-eyed phantom faintly appears—this is the core symbol of the Divine Eye Clan, and one of the reasons why they are among the top clans of the first cycle of reincarnation.

"The news from the Five Chaos is already known to all of you." The First True Lord, whose figure was most indistinct and who sat at the very center, slowly spoke. "Those two supreme treasures that should have fallen into the hands of the Five Chaos have actually been taken away by the Lord of Darkness."

When a supreme treasure is born, its aura, even in the instant of its birth, can still penetrate numerous barriers and be vaguely perceived by top experts within a certain range.

Although the Lord of the Five Chaos was unable to see the treasure in person, his shrewd experience and sensitivity to supreme fluctuations were enough to determine its approximate level, and he quickly relayed the information and location back to his clan.

"Hmph! How dare he steal from my Divine Eye Clan! This Lord of Darkness deserves to die!"

The Divine Eye Clan has seven of the strongest beings in the universe (True Lords). Each True Lord possesses at least one supreme treasure, and some powerful beings, such as the First True Lord, possess more than one!

Such a foundation is what allows them to firmly hold the top position in the first cycle of reincarnation, and even to have considerable confidence in the face of the two great holy land universes.

But who would complain about having too much of the most powerful and precious treasures?

Especially newly discovered, ownerless supreme treasures often contain other secret patterns. They can be used to improve one's own skills and may even fill in the gaps in the knowledge of a certain deity.

"I happen to be on the spaceship now, which should allow me to reach Furnace Canyon much faster," said a towering figure with emerald green pupils, like two burning jade beads.

"After killing that Lord of Darkness," the Blue-Eyed True Lord said, his gaze sweeping over the other six True Lords.

"I hope to obtain one of the most powerful treasures, and I humbly request the teacher and everyone's permission."

The Blue-Eyed God spoke calmly, yet with absolute confidence.

In his eyes, even a fifth-order universe lord with a supreme palace treasure was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

He fears nothing more than palace treasures when he fights enemies!

"Alright. If you go alone and successfully kill the Lord of Darkness, obtaining the two supreme treasures, you may choose one first," said the First True Lord.

"However, if we fail to kill them and get help from the other True Lords, then these two supreme treasures will have to be distributed according to the subsequent events."

The most powerful and precious treasures are truly moving.

It is impossible for God the First to completely delegate this matter to the Blue-Eyed God, therefore...

"Third brother, seventh brother, you two should go too!"

After all, once the Lord of Darkness realizes that he cannot escape and is in dire straits, he certainly wouldn't be willing to give away the two treasures to his enemy who killed him for nothing.

At that time, you can easily send messages to other top players through your friends list.

This attracted other top contenders to compete for it.

Therefore, it is only natural to arrange for several of the strongest individuals to go together.

"good!"

The third, sixth, and seventh true gods joined forces, complementing each other in direction and methods. Not to mention the ruler of the universe, even the strongest being in the universe would suffer a severe beating if he was not careful!

Furnace Canyon, Corridor of Erosion area.

"Based on the coordinates and map calculations, after passing through the three large areas ahead, darkness is entangled there." Hu Yanbo sat in the core of the palace, his scarlet eyes gazing at the bizarre and dazzling scene rushing past outside.

Just as the "Palace of All Things" was about to burst out of an exceptionally wide molten channel, a "Buzz—!!!" sounded.

Without warning, countless dazzling and cold blade lights suddenly appeared in the open space in front of them!

The blades intertwined, forming a three-dimensional net of blades covering an extremely wide area!

At the core of the blade net is a spaceship shaped like a flat disc.

"Strong one ahead, please wait."

A divine power transmitted a message through the net of blades and into Huyan Bo's ears.

"I am from the Divine Eye Clan, the Lord of the Ultimate Arrow," the voice transmission continued.

"Right now, in the core area of ​​this Furnace Canyon, my Divine Eye Clan is apprehending an enemy. To avoid accidental injury, please retreat the way you came, or choose another route."

"This Furnace Canyon has been temporarily designated as a restricted area by our clan. Those who trespass will be easily injured by us."

Master of Arrows!

The fourth-order universe master of the Divine Eye Clan possesses the supreme treasure of the peak domain, the Blade Core Realm.

"I never expected that after receiving the news from the Giant Axe Conference, I would rush all the way here! It turns out that the Divine Eye Clan still has powerful members who are already exploring."

"As expected of a race with hundreds of universe lords."

"There must be a cosmic master wandering around here!" Hu Yanbo thought to himself as he looked at the sword net.

On the other side, inside the silver disc-shaped spaceship, the Lord of Arrows, clad in silver armor, calmly gazed at the unfamiliar black palace outside, his mind rapidly searching for information on the palaces and treasures of renowned powerhouses from various forces across the cosmic sea.

"A treasure from an unfamiliar palace," the Lord of Arrows mused to himself.

"Which powerful individual acquired the new palace treasure, or is it a newly promoted powerhouse nurtured by the Holy Land universe?"

The Lord of Arrows was wary, but not afraid.

The prestige of the Divine Eye Clan is their greatest source of confidence.

"Even if it's a holy land, so what? The three True Lords of my Divine Eye Clan are on their way here. Even a holy land has to give face to my Divine Eye Clan..."

The Lord of Arrows was still inside the disc, proud of his lineage from the Divine Eye Clan, when he heard a single word: "Get lost."

Then, centered on the black tower, a vast and boundless sea of ​​blood instantly expanded outwards!

The countless sword lights that were originally dazzling and sharp, once they entered the area of ​​the "sea of ​​blood", were as if they were sinking into an endless swamp, their speed decreased sharply and their light dimmed rapidly!

What chilled him to the bone even more was that, at the same time that "sea of ​​blood" suppressed his domain, a terrifying suction force so powerful it made his heart tremble faintly emanated from the black palace, firmly locking onto the silver disc spaceship where he was!

"This palace possesses such terrifying sealing power?!" The Lord of Arrows felt a chill run down his spine.

His silver disc-shaped spaceship was merely a top-tier palace treasure. Now, facing a palace treasure with formidable sealing abilities, and with his own domain completely suppressed, if he were to forcefully resist...

The three great gods are on their way, but they haven't arrived yet!

A distant source of water cannot quench an immediate thirst!

In the blink of an eye, the Lord of Arrows chose to control the palace's treasure and head towards the distance.

One second they were proud that even the two great holy lands respected their Divine Eye Clan, and the next second...

The Lord of Arrows stared at the direction where the black tower had disappeared, his face ashen, and remained silent for a long time.

"Are you a friend of the Lord of Darkness?"

"Good, good, good! You are truly kind and righteous. However, my tribe's sixth true lord is about to arrive, so you will all be buried here together!"

'

The Inner Domain, a vast void near the "Furnace Canyon".

A streak of emerald light was hurtling through the air at nearly a hundred times the speed of light!

Wherever the light passed, the raging chaotic air currents were repelled by an invisible force field!

At the core of the light was none other than the sixth true master of the Divine Eye Clan—the Azure-Eyed True Master!

"The arrow has sent a message that a powerful figure has driven a strange black palace past his location and headed towards the core of the canyon?" the Azure-Eyed True Lord thought to himself.

"The 'Blade Core Realm,' capable of directly suppressing the Ultimate Arrow, possesses a supreme treasure of the highest level."

"Moreover, the palace also possesses powerful sealing abilities!"

"It seems our Divine Eye Clan's harvest this time will be even more abundant than expected!"

Two newly discovered supreme treasures, plus these spoils of war—this harvest is absolutely substantial, even within the deeply rooted Divine Eye Clan!

After all, top-tier palace-type and domain-type treasures are extremely scarce resources even within the clan.

"What good is strong defense if it doesn't work!" The Blue-Eyed True Lord was completely unmoved, and even felt like laughing.

He is precisely the nemesis of these enemies who rely on the palace's treasures to cower and defend!

Furnace Canyon, a relatively secluded depression surrounded by a vast, cold region.

The Black Tower floated silently.

Inside the tower, the Lord of Darkness was shrouded in a phantom.

Just then—

hum!

The void ahead distorted slightly, and a strange, pitch-black palace suddenly appeared in the void not far in front of the Black Demon Tower.

The Lord of Darkness felt a sudden tightness in his chest!

However, a familiar divine voice echoed through the sea of ​​blood!

"Lord of Darkness, I have kept you waiting. I am Omnipotent."

This voice, this life force, truly belongs to Huyanbo, the Lord of All Things!

Having confirmed the other party's identity, the Lord of Darkness's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but his shock remained undiminished. He quickly replied, "I'm unharmed, and the treasure is here too."

"Thanks to the map that the Mountain Dweller contributed to the tribe! The Furnace Canyon has treacherous and complex terrain, with many hidden paths and dangerous areas. If it weren't for the clear markings on the map, I'm afraid I would have been entangled by the Five Elements long ago."

Every dangerous place within the three forbidden zones is fraught with peril.

To create a detailed map, especially the precise paths and danger markers of the inner wilderness, requires not only immense strength but also an unimaginable amount of time to explore.

Even the strongest members of the Divine Eye Clan wouldn't have the time to investigate everything. The reason why the map in the hands of the Mountain-Sitting Guest is more detailed must be because it was made by someone from another era of reincarnation.

The Lord of Darkness paused, then continued, "Now that we've joined forces, it's equivalent to two top-tier sixth-tier universe lords working together to hold this place and await reinforcements! Our chances of holding out until the giant axe arrives are much greater!"

This is the most optimistic assessment the Lord of Darkness has made based on the current situation.

It is theoretically possible for two top-tier sixth-order universe lords to hold out against the Azure-Eyed True Lord for a period of time, relying on the supreme treasures of the Peak Palace and the geographical advantage brought by the Mountain-Sitting Guest Map.

The Lord of Darkness also learned of the news from the Hongmeng Alliance that the Azure-Eyed True Lord was rushing to the cosmic ship and should arrive first.

As for the other true gods, as long as they are not inside the spaceship, they should not fall too far with the speed of the giant axe!

"Darkness!" Hu Yanbo's voice rang out again, still in that familiar tone, but what he said made the Lord of Darkness instantly doubt whether he had misheard.

"If I've overcome countless dangers and rushed here just to find a corner to huddle with you in the palace, waiting for the giant axe to come and rescue us—"

"Then all my coming here would have been for nothing?"

Lord of Darkness: "————?"

He was stunned, and even the illusory figure surrounding him trembled slightly, not immediately understanding the meaning of those words.

"Not defend? Then what are we supposed to do? Could it be—"

Before he could press further, Hu Yanbo's voice, tinged with amusement, continued, his words slow yet sharp, each one striking like a hammer blow to the Lord of Darkness's heart: "What I mean is—"

"Now that we've assembled our team and gained a slight advantage, why are we only thinking about getting beaten up?"

"I think we should pull off something big?"

Lord of Darkness: "————???"
