Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 185 One sentence made the tyrannical stop!

The Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space is one of the few special areas within the inner domain of the Spaceship that is free from danger.

Of course, "no danger" here only means there are no natural disasters.

The struggle for power and the fights between the strong are often much easier than the establishment of friendships.

This strange space is spanned by sixteen beams, each thousands of light-years high.

The stone pillar is dark in color, and its surface is imprinted with countless complex, ancient, and profound secret patterns that even the strongest beings in the universe would find difficult to comprehend.

The closer one gets to the stone pillar, the more stagnant and solid the space becomes, making teleportation impossible, as if it were firmly locked by an invisible force field.

The turmoil of rescuing the Lord of Darkness and killing the Azure-Eyed True Lord has temporarily come to an end. After parting ways with the Lord of Darkness, Hu Yanbo spent nearly three hundred years before finally arriving at his destination, the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space.

The fog was thick and filled the field of vision, seemingly without end.

Hu Yanbo, who had transformed into the "Lord of Blood Cloud Palace," teleported several times after entering this space, then turned into a streak of rainbow light and randomly chose a black-patterned stone pillar to fly towards.

In fact, most universe lords who come to temper their will and comprehend the secret runes in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar choose to go there—

Near the No. 2 Black-Patterned Stone Pillar, where the "Lord of the Bech Star" is stationed, the atmosphere is relatively peaceful, and public sermons are often held.

Lord Bechi was a solitary true god in the first cycle of reincarnation. He was kind and generous and loved to share. His area was considered the safest place in this space.

But Huyanbo didn't care.

He doesn't need to listen to anyone preach, nor does he need the safest atmosphere.

His sole purpose in coming here was to use the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar to fulfill the repayment of the true god's will.

It doesn't matter which stone pillar you choose, as long as it's quiet enough so that his Nine Netherworld clone can AFK undisturbed.

As Hu Yanbo drew closer to the chosen black-patterned stone pillar, an invisible and intangible force of will began to surge forth like a tide, and its intensity increased at an astonishing rate as the distance closed!

At first, it was just a subtle disturbance, like distant war drums.

Soon, it transformed into the clanging of metal on the battlefield and the roar of ten thousand horses galloping, with countless thoughts filled with slaughter, chaos, and savagery roaring and surging in the mind!

"The flow of time here has reached about a thousand times faster." Hu Yanbo felt the increasingly strong impact of his will in his mind.

"However, it doesn't affect me."

Previously, when his will was at the peak of the "Universe Master" level, arriving at this point with a time flow rate approximately a thousand times faster...

The area corresponding to the intensity of the impact of willpower is probably the limit.

After all, according to the general laws of the Black-Veined Stone Pillar space—the peak will of a Universe Lord—one can usually penetrate into regions with a time flow rate approximately 1000 times greater.

The ultimate will of the Lord of the Universe can reach a region with a time flow rate of approximately 3000 times.

If you want to go even deeper and withstand stronger shocks of will, you must possess the true will of a true god!

Huyanbo, having "pre-emptively drawn upon the will of the true god," had already undergone a leap in the essence of his will!

At this moment, the impact of this thousand-fold flow rate on his will was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

Huyanbo maintained his speed and continued forward.

3000x, 5000x, 8000x zones!

Hu Yanbo estimated that he should be able to reach an area of ​​about 12000 times the normal speed.

The system requires that repayment be made only when the limits of one's will are reached.

The initial level of the will of a true god should be around 12000 times stronger.

However, just as Hu Yanbo was venturing deeper and about to cross the region with a flow velocity ten thousand times greater than normal, a sudden "Huh?" occurred to him.

Behind Huyanbo, a figure radiating golden light landed on a huge rock.

This creature has a body covered in fine golden scales, a spiral golden horn on its forehead, and dark gold eyes.

He gazed at the dark red light that was penetrating deeper and heading straight for the region with a flow rate ten thousand times greater than normal, and thoughts raced through his mind: "An unfamiliar ruler of the universe? Never seen one before. His will is so powerful, able to easily break through the 8000-fold speed limit?"

"It's rare to see a master of the universe whose will reaches the level of the strongest being in the universe. Each one of them is by no means an unknown figure."

The Lord of the Universe possesses the will of the strongest being in the universe. Apart from the two holy lands, there are only a few of them in each cycle of reincarnation. Even those who are relatively close to this level, the Rampaging Demon God feels that he should know them.

"This so-called lord of the universe, I wonder if he has heard of my infamous reputation as the one who roams freely among demons and gods? Does he know that I enjoy strolling freely within the space of the black-patterned stone pillars, occasionally changing my appearance for a bit of fun?"

Rampaging Demon God, a solitary strongest being in the universe during the second era of reincarnation.

His strength is only considered average among true gods.

However, he possesses an extremely special and powerful treasure armor, which, combined with his own hard outer shell, gives him astonishing defensive capabilities and an extremely strong ability to survive.

This gave him the confidence to roam freely and explore the perilous cosmic sea in search of treasures, earning him the nickname "Rampaging".

"boom!"

The rampaging demon god unleashed a burst of golden divine light, catching up to Hu Yanbo almost the instant he broke through the limit of the ten-thousand-fold time flow zone.

The strongest beings in the universe are in the cosmic ocean; it's not difficult for them to unleash speeds a thousand or ten thousand times greater!

"Little one, didn't your elders tell you not to wander around the Black Patterned Stone Pillar space alone?"

The rampaging demon god planned to first intimidate this unfamiliar, somewhat capable cosmic ruler to see how the other party would react.

For him, this was an interesting start to the game.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the figure rushing ahead did not slow down; instead, it turned its head and stared straight at him.

Immediately, a divine voice, tinged with laughter, transmitted through the air: "Hengxing, you've arrived!"

Rampant Demon God: "————?!"

The rampaging demon god, its high-speed golden light and shadow trembled violently, almost losing its form!

His playful, amused, and cat-and-mouse-like sense of superiority vanished instantly upon hearing the calm question, "You've arrived!"

"Is he waiting for me?"

"Is a cosmic ruler waiting for me?"

A simple sentence made the rampaging demon god a little flustered.

The opponent's reaction, which was completely unexpected, was like a blow to the very beginning of his game.

You should know that the cosmic sea has been anything but peaceful lately!

Another of the universe's strongest beings has fallen in countless years, and this one is from the God-Eye Clan. Although the specific details have not yet been fully disseminated, they are known to people in their circle.

The incident occurred within the inner domain of the spaceship!

It appears he was killed while searching for something.

And right before our eyes appeared this strange and unfamiliar Lord of the Universe!

Of course, the two may be completely unrelated and purely coincidental.

Too many things happen on the spaceship every day.

But the rampaging demons are not fools. None of those who have overcome countless obstacles to become the strongest beings in the universe are truly stupid.

Perhaps one is irritable and easily angered, perhaps one is extremely arrogant, or perhaps one has an unpredictable temperament, but these are all aspects of one's personality that do not involve one's own safety.

When their own safety is at stake, their thinking speed becomes extremely fast; a single thought can deduce countless possibilities and weigh numerous pros and cons.

At this moment, the Rampaging Demon God felt that his safety was threatened. Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. The more he thought about it, the deeper his fear became.

What was originally intended as a "teasing" scene has now become extremely hot to handle.

The other person's calm tone, which carried a hint of "I've been waiting for you for a long time," did not anger him; instead, it aroused his strong unease and vigilance.

This feeling of being out of control and completely unable to understand the other party's intentions and trump cards made him very uncomfortable.

"This tone is clearly disrespectful." The Demon God's golden eyes were fixed on Hu Yanbo, who had not stopped, as he struggled with his thoughts.

"If it were any other time, if a cosmic ruler dared to speak to me in such a tone, I would have slapped him across the face long ago. I would have shown him what the majesty of the strongest being in the universe is!"

But now, he doesn't dare.

But he was scared off by a master of the universe with a single, inexplicable statement!

He doesn't want to either?

If this gets out, where will he put his face as a demon god?

"How can he roam freely in the cosmic sea in the future?" The "Rampaging Demon God" felt aggrieved, thinking that retreating like this was too absurd and would damage his reputation of "roaming freely".

Just as they were caught in a dilemma, filled with doubt and uncertainty, the voice came again from the dark red rainbow light.

"Rampaging, you made a smart choice—not to attack me immediately."

The rampaging demon god felt a chill run down his spine. The golden light and shadow rippled slightly, but he remained silent, his vigilance now at its highest level.

I'm giving you two choices.

"First, protect my principles."

The rampaging demon god was stunned for a moment, almost thinking he had misheard.

A ruler of the universe has the strongest being in the universe protecting him?

How arrogant and absurd this is!

Hu Yanbo seemed oblivious to his astonishment, continuing to speak as he flew, but the content of his words sent a jolt through the heart of the rampaging demon god: "You should know very well that with your abilities and aptitude, even if you were given another era of reincarnation, you would still have no chance of transcending reincarnation."

"There were quite a few people with your strength and potential in the first reincarnation era. Do you think they can break through before the end of this reincarnation era?"

The demon god's golden eyes narrowed sharply.

"But, with me," Hu Yanbo continued, "I can't guarantee you'll escape the cycle of reincarnation, but I can ensure your survival."

The rampaging demon god felt as if he were under an illusion!

He had roamed the demon realm for nearly three lifetimes, seen countless geniuses and prodigies, and heard countless wild and outrageous words, but he had never heard of such an outrageous recruitment!

"You—" The rampaging demon god laughed in fury, his golden light flashing violently due to his emotional turmoil.

Huyanbo seemed completely unconcerned about his reaction, or perhaps he had expected it.

His reason for making those offers to recruit people was, of course, calculated.

Hu Yanbo needs to cultivate here for a long time to repay the system's advance payment regarding his will.

As for the advance payments that follow, aside from those related to "divine power flow," most of them will likely require the advance payment of "willpower."

Only with a stronger will can he cultivate secret techniques and even pre-plan the cosmic ark!

Otherwise, having just entered the will of a true god, he wouldn't even be able to cultivate the "Divine Eye Secret Technique."

Therefore, the Nine Netherworld clone must stay in this place for an extremely long time.

Alternatively, one could observe the bizarre phenomenon of a significant leap forward every ten thousand or tens of thousands of years on the "Second Black Pattern Stone Pillar" under the watchful eyes of many, thereby attracting a group of powerful individuals.

Alternatively, one could choose to retreat to another area.

Although in other areas there will be a tyrannical demon god who is capricious and likes to play dumb to take advantage of others.

But if we can subdue or kill this guy, making him the gatekeeper of this place, or make him disappear, then...

With the Nine Netherworld clone residing on the black-patterned stone pillar, there's no need for me to worry, and my main body can focus more on other matters.

"You can think it's absurd, you can disbelieve it," Hu Yanbo continued.

"Then, you're left with only the second option, number one."

Before the words were even finished!

Under the gaze of the rampaging demon god, filled with absurdity, anger, and vigilance!

A figure, hundreds of thousands of kilometers tall, was shrouded in a hazy, dark mist, obscuring its exact appearance. Only a pair of smiling eyes pierced through the mist, gazing at the rampaging demon god.

"The strongest being in an unfamiliar universe?!" The Rampaging Demon God was shocked, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints!

"Is it from the Holy Land universe?"

He roamed the cosmic sea for countless years, and apart from the reclusive ancient relics of the two holy lands, there was no one he didn't know.

After all, these are ancient relics of the Holy Land universe, some of which have never appeared in many cycles of reincarnation, and their life force remains unknown to anyone.

Therefore, it's not surprising if you don't recognize them!

"Playing tricks!" The rampaging demon god was both shocked and furious. He thought the Lord of the Universe had some kind of background to say such a thing, but it turned out he came from the Holy Land Universe!

I was absolutely terrified!

However, once you know its origins, it's not scary anymore. Even if it's the Holy Land Universe, if it wants me to survive inside the Holy Land, it shouldn't talk to me like that!

The rampaging demon god roared, and the golden light around his body instantly intensified to its extreme. The supreme treasure armor that made him famous burst forth with dazzling divine light, firmly protecting him.

At the same time, he made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a giant hammer burning with golden flames appeared, which he smashed fiercely toward the strange true god who had just appeared!

He wanted to test the quality of this guy, who was suspected to be from the Holy Land universe!

"A world-shattering event!"

The golden flaming giant hammer tore through the void, and wherever it passed, even the thick fog in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar was briefly dispelled, its power was astonishing!

However, faced with this attack that would make any sixth-order universe lord avoid its edge, the strange true god shrouded in gray mist simply raised a finger.

Those fingers were long and slender, carved from the purest jade, with no luster at the fingertips. They gently touched the massive golden flaming hammer that came crashing down upon them.

"Pop".

A soft popping sound, like a bubble bursting.

The imposing golden flaming hammer phantom, brimming with the power of a rampaging demon god, was blasted away the instant it touched the gray fingertips.

After the gray finger "flew" the golden giant hammer, its momentum did not diminish at all. It continued forward, crossing space, and pointed at the supreme treasure armor that the rampaging demon god was proud of, which shone brightly on his chest!

"clang-!!!"

A deafening roar, like two miniature universes colliding, erupted!

Where the gray finger touched the golden armor, it emitted an extremely dazzling gray and gold light, and a terrifying shockwave exploded in a spherical shape, instantly clearing away the surrounding thick fog!

"puff--!"

As if struck by lightning, the rampaging demon god's towering divine body, hundreds of thousands of kilometers high, was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

They crashed into countless boulders along the way before barely managing to regain their balance!

The first thing he did after regaining his balance was to check his divine body.

Because that attack just now directly annihilated 3% of his divine body.

Since he obtained the Blood Sea Demon Armor, this was the first time that the strongest being in the universe had been able to annihilate so many divine bodies with a single blow.

Never!
