Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 196 Repaying the Will of the Void True God, the Dazzling Luo Feng

In the secluded courtyard of the Mountain Dweller's residence in the Sacred City of Meteorite Star.

"Now that you have become immortal, with the pair of chaotic golden wings bestowed upon you by all things, coupled with the Calamity Armor, you have reached the level of a cosmic overlord. No one can spare your life."

The mountain dweller waved his hand, and a suit of armor as solid as bricks slowly floated towards Luo Feng.

This is the supreme treasure, the Calamity Armor.

It originally belonged to Emperor Yan, but it was taken back by the Mountain-Sitting Guest long ago.

"Thank you, Teacher Xie," Luo Feng said respectfully.

As his authority increased, many previously heard secrets gradually became clear.

For example, when I joined the Hongmeng, I heard that the Hongmeng had two strongest leaders who had joined forces to kill the mechanical race's father god in the Qingfeng Realm, thus establishing the Hongmeng's supreme power in the primordial universe.

One of them is the founder of Giant Axe, and the other is the teacher sitting in front of us, Mr. Zuoshanke.

"The assessment of the fourth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," said the Mountain-Sitting Guest, looking at Luo Feng.

When do you plan to do it?

When Luo Feng obtained the third fragment, the situation was different from the previous rumors.

For example, on Ice Prison Star, if the Mountain Guest hadn't personally stated that the Lord of All Things knew about it and that he would be there to watch with them, then the two Venerables, Qing Kou and Zi Kou, who were with Ice Prison Star, would never have dared to imprison Luo Feng in Ice Prison.

Last time, when they imprisoned the True King, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf died.

If Luo Feng is imprisoned this time, who knows which universe master will die, or a whole group of them.

It should be noted that the Lord of All Things has not made a move for tens of thousands of years.

Who knows what his strength is now?

As for the fourth piece, in the original work, it was placed in the secret realm where the God of Crafts resided, and through the God of Crafts, Luo Feng was thrown into the so-called "dead zone," thus reaching the territory of the Starry Sky Beast.

But now that the Lord of the Craftsmen has already joined the Easy Travel Merchant Guild, and the Craftsmen Star has moved to the depths of human territory, there is naturally no possibility of him being thrown into the abyss.

Therefore, the guest sitting on the mountain asked him directly.

Luo Feng pondered for a moment.

The essence of the journey to the Ice Prison was to hone one's skills and address shortcomings in secret techniques while acquiring fragments.

Now that he has become immortal, he naturally needs to set his sights on the higher cosmic beings to find a worthy opponent.

The Cosmic Sovereigns are not ordinary cabbages; they are the core pillars of each race and the seeds of the Lord of the Universe.

It's impossible to find conditions like the Ice Prison again to imprison the Universe Venerable.

Perhaps only the "primordial star" that gathers countless powerful beings and produces countless treasures from the original universe can meet the requirements.

"Let's go now," Luo Feng said.

Since breaking through to immortality, apart from sparring with his teacher, Venerable Zhenyan, he has not yet engaged in a true life-or-death struggle with any opponent of the same or higher level.

With the armor in hand and wings on his body, his fighting spirit was already rising.

The man sitting on the mountain nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised by his choice.

"Alright. Then let's go see the old Beast God!"

"The Old Beast God?" Luo Feng was taken aback.

"Not the primordial planet?"

"Your disciple has quite the talent." The Starry Sky Ancestor glanced at Luo Feng in the Beast God Realm, offering undisguised praise.

Even with his perspective as the strongest in the universe, he had to admit that Luo Feng was exceptionally outstanding.

"Haha," the mountain dweller sitting to the side chuckled upon hearing this.

"That's for sure. My requirements for this disciple are a whole 'billion' higher than for the previous two."

"So, old man, interested in making a bet?"

"Oh? A bit higher?" The Star Ancestor seemed somewhat interested.

The Star Ancestor and the Mountain Guest had a fairly good relationship, and he knew that besides the Flame Emperor, there was another disciple who often served by his side.

As far as he knew, the two disciples of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, although both were Lords of the Universe, had not exceeded the third level.

Is Luo Feng destined to become a fifth-order universe master, or the strongest being in the universe?

"Since you're so confident, I can't admit defeat to an immortal, so let's make a bet."

"If your three disciples can defeat me, I will give you a set of supreme treasures, the value of which is comparable to a top-tier supreme treasure."

The Star Ancestor was the strongest being after all. Even if Luo Feng was dazzling and could become the strongest being in the universe in the future, he would at most be on par with him, let alone at the Immortal stage.

"Then I'll also offer a top-tier treasure!" said the Mountain Guest with a smile.

Ultimately, just like in the original story, Luo Feng spent over 180 million years in the Starry Sky Ancestor Universe and successfully defeated the Ancestor.

The set of treasures they won in the bet was given to Luo Feng.

"This old man, on the surface, seems to be letting his disciples fend for themselves, but when he actually encounters such a heaven-defying little monster, the effort he's put in behind the scenes is probably more than anyone else's," the Starry Sky Ancestor said helplessly.

Without putting in any effort, one can nurture the Golden Horned Beast clone into a perfect life form and allow it to observe the secret patterns within one's own miniature universe.

It's important to understand that the price to pay for viewing these sixty-four Beast God statues in the Beast God Realm for 100,000 epochs is considerable.

"You arrogant old man," the Starry Sky Ancestor said sarcastically, looking at the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

The mountain dweller smiled but remained silent, his gaze towards Luo Feng filled with even greater satisfaction.

"Cultivating them oneself is one aspect; without Wanxiang, this disciple would never have been born!"

Meanwhile, Hu Yanbo was unaware that while the mountain dweller was diligently training his disciples, he was also silently thanking him.

In terms of nurturing Luo Feng, his philosophy was not much different from that of the Lord of Chaos City. He simply provided a platform, resources, and protection, offered guidance at crucial moments, and left the rest to his disciples to forge their own paths.

At most, because he himself doesn't care as much about fairness, he is much more generous in terms of resource supply. For example, he gave two pairs of Chaos Golden Wings in advance (the pair belonging to the Chaos City Lord and the pair belonging to the Mechanical Race), and Luo Feng can obtain resources more easily and cost-effectively through the Easy Travel Merchant Guild.

However, in many specific aspects of inheritance, refinement, and life genes, he is not as comprehensive and in-depth as the reincarnation of the god-king, Zuoshanke.

Therefore, Hu Yanbo was very relieved to entrust this part of the "hammering and forging" work to Zuo Shan Ke.

Currently, his Nine Netherworld clone is still in the space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar in the Cosmic Sea, and is beginning to repay the Void True God-level will that was prepaid.

As for the true self, he was comprehending the higher-level secret techniques left behind by the Mountain-Sitting Guest in the "Forest of Ten Thousand Laws" continent of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

With the aid of the powerful will of the Void God, he was able to deduce and analyze secret techniques at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, and his mind was constantly filled with inspiration.

"It's a pity there are no runes of law."

"Simply by analyzing the ideas and concepts of these higher-level secret techniques, and then reverse-engineering and innovating, it is indeed quite difficult to create a complete sixth-level secret technique out of thin air." In Hu Yanbo's eyes, it seemed as if countless fine secret patterns were being created, combined, collided, and annihilated, which was the external manifestation of his high-speed deduction.

Hu Yanbo is now capable of creating fifth-order secret techniques, and as for creating sixth-order secret techniques, that is still under research.

The creation of a sixth-order secret technique is a crucial milestone for cultivators in the primordial universe.

This usually means that the creator has a new understanding of the law, enough to cross the threshold of the true God's path of the law.

For Hu Yanbo, creating a sixth-order secret technique was another objective.

That is, through the "advance payment system", one can further unlock and learn higher-level secret techniques from the Mountain Dweller, such as the eighth and ninth levels.

Otherwise, at this stage, even with the system's assistance in learning the "Mountain-Sitting Guest's" top-tier seventh-order secret technique, he could only unleash it at about the level of an ordinary sixth-order practitioner.

However, to learn eighth-order secret techniques, or even higher-order secret techniques, he is required to create a sixth-order secret technique himself in order to repay the debt.

Learning higher-level secret techniques as a master of the universe would be helpful for what needs to be done next. (Not a realm beast.)

Therefore, while the Nine Netherworld Avatar was "idling in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to repay the will of the Void True God," Hu Yanbo also spent some time researching.

"Rumble—"

Deep within the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield, at the center of the eternally rotating "Nine-Spinning Nebula," in the core hall of the towering Star Tower spanning nine light-years, Luo Feng's entire body surged with divine light.

A surge of divine power, 9800 times greater than that of life genes, was frantically poured into the Star Tower.

"Just by driving the most basic movement, it instantly drained nearly 30% of my divine power!" Luo Feng was utterly shocked.

He could clearly feel that his vast divine power, enough to easily annihilate ordinary cosmic venerables, surged into the Star Tower, like a stream flowing into a bottomless ocean, causing this colossal object to move only about twenty centimeters in the direction indicated by his will.

A giant tower nine light-years high, moved twenty centimeters!

Unless the cosmic ruler who controls space and time is present, no one can detect it.

However, these seemingly insignificant twenty centimeters brought Luo Feng an unparalleled shock.

"Perfect, so perfect!" His consciousness was immersed in the first layer of secret runes that had just been opened.

This was just the tip of the iceberg, yet it made him understand why Master Zuoshanke had said that if it could be fully activated, this tower would be the most powerful treasure in the universe!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Inside the Star Tower, the myriad forbidden spaces and countless passages seemed to be under some kind of invisible command!

The various immortal kings who were originally wandering, fighting, and searching for treasures felt a tremendous force suddenly arise, blasting them out like dust from various passageways!

In an instant, the vast star field surrounding the Star Tower was like a meteor shower composed of immortal kings!

More than a million warriors from various races, filled with astonishment, were forcibly expelled from the tower and appeared in disarray in the starry sky.

"What's going on?!"

"What happened to the Star Tower?"

"I was just fighting, how did I suddenly get thrown out?"

After a brief silence came boundless uproar and commotion!

Since its appearance in the Seventh Battlefield, the Star Tower has endured countless years. Although its internal environment is treacherous and ever-changing, its overall structure has never changed, and there has never been an incident in which all explorers inside were forcibly expelled at once!

This is absolutely mind-blowing!

Then, something even more unforgettable happened to all the witnesses: the star tower, which was nine light-years tall, flashed with light and began to shrink rapidly!

One light-year, a million kilometers, ten thousand kilometers — in the end, it turned into an imperceptible stream of dark golden light and disappeared into thin air!

The Star Tower is gone!

"No, it's gone?!"

"The Hunchen Tower has disappeared?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Those who witnessed this scene firsthand were all stunned. Then came the frenzied broadcast of the news!

The Hunchen Pagoda has disappeared!

The shockwave from this lightning strike was no less powerful than the mysterious disappearance of the Primordial Chaos Treasure!

After all, the quality of the Hunchen Tower is almost universally acknowledged; it is a clan-protecting treasure that is enough to make even the most powerful clans envious and the strongest beings in the universe yearn for!

Within the human race, despite already possessing a supreme treasure, they still yearn for the Hunchen Tower with even greater fervor.

Bi Shuai could tell what kind of palace and treasure this was just by looking at the Hunchen Tower.

The palace is the most precious of all the supreme treasures, without exception.

Just as the tide was surging, a brief email silenced the higher-ups of the human race.

"The Hunchen Tower has already been taken by my disciple Luo Feng. You are all in a panic, so there is no need to search for it."

Immediately, the lords of the universe exclaimed, "Oh, so it's a disciple of all phenomena!"

"Luo Feng? That kid? He was able to take away the Hunchen Tower with a roar?"

"I see. Since you are a disciple of Wanxiang, then there's nothing to worry about."

"Wanxiang has been quiet lately, turns out it's his disciple who's stirring things up."

"That's all, everyone go do what you were doing."

If it were any other powerful being, even the ruler of their own race's universe, if they were weak, there would inevitably be some negotiation or even an exchange of benefits.

Not to mention his disciples.

But when it comes to Huyanbo, the "Lord of All Things," the nature of the matter is completely different.

This being who propelled humanity to its current level is also a fellow master of the universe.

But to consider him to be of the same class would be foolish.

Ten thousand years ago, under the guise of "Blood Cloud Palace Master," he already possessed the combat power of a sixth-tier Universe Lord, becoming a universal enemy. (During the meeting to rescue the Black Lord, Hu Yanbo explained that he had disguised himself as the Blood Cloud Palace Master and traveled to the Universe Ship, where he coincidentally came close to the Black Lord.)

Now, 100,000 years later, with his unbelievable speed of progress, who dares to guess what level he has reached now?

Standing still?

The possibility is very small!

His disciple was able to take away the Hunchen Tower, which was astonishing, but when applied to the "Lord of All Things", it seemed somewhat reasonable.

Shilu grows up more easily and quickly than in the original work.

After reclaiming the Hunchen Tower, he mastered all of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manuals held by the Mountain Hermit. His Earthly self was also freed from the shackles, reaching a peak of 10081 times the perfection of his genes!

Inside the City of Meteorite and Ink.

In a side hall of the holy city, Huyan Bo, in his avatar, sat as always on the seemingly ordinary throne.

"Teacher." Luo Feng stepped into the hall and bowed respectfully.

"This disciple now possesses the combat power of a universe master."

1. Although he has not yet fought a true master of the universe after taking the Star Tower, Luo Feng feels that his current strength should be enough to rival that of a master of the universe!

After Bi Hou underwent the trial of the Primordial Ancestor of the Chaos, he was able to kill the overlord of the universe with his immortal strength.

Now, Venerable Tuhai, with his perfect divine chaos and possession of the Hunchen Tower, has accumulated so much power that he should possess the strength of a universe master.

In the original work, Luo Feng was repeatedly assassinated during his stages as a Realm Lord and Immortal. Even after being assassinated by Venerable Tu Hai, he still had to be personally attacked by the strongest lone wolf, the True Demon God.

But these assassinations have never occurred since.

The human race was overwhelmingly powerful. Giants, Mountain Dwellers, and Lords of All Things were like insurmountable peaks, firmly suppressing the sinister intentions of hostile forces such as the demon race and the insect race.

Therefore, Luo Feng is determined to demonstrate his strength as in the original story, so that the alien race will give up their assassination attempt on him.

Therefore, he came here today not because he was eager to own the Earth, nor because of external pressure or the need to survive, but because he was actively seeking a higher path.

What he wanted to know was—what path should he take next?
