Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 198 I've caught up with Teacher Wanxiang!

After passing through several checkpoints and encountering several cosmic overlords along the way, most of them wisely chose to retreat after learning that it was Luo Feng. A few who did not believe in the power of the enemy were easily defeated by Luo Feng in one or two moves and entered the side passage.

Against these opponents, Luo Feng did not even use the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe at full strength, let alone use the Star Tower and the secret technique of burning divine power.

These opponents are not enough to truly warm him up.

We continued deeper into what seemed to be an endless passage.

Finally, after passing through a silver light curtain resembling ripples, Luo Feng stepped into an unprecedentedly magnificent hall.

The palace hall has a diameter of over 100 million kilometers and is so high that its top cannot be seen.

"It's finally here."

As soon as Luo Feng steadied himself, a magnificent voice resounded throughout the hall.

At the same time, Luo Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw the source of the sound—

In the center of the hall, above the boundless blue jade floor, floats a miniature star with a diameter of about 10,000 meters.

Luo Feng instantly recognized the identity represented by this "miniature star".

Gu Shuo Xing, Lord of Liu Lan Xing!

The spiritual leader of the Liulan Clan, the largest clan in the Northern Frontier Alliance, and a veteran cosmic lord renowned throughout the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, is the Liulan Star Lord!

His true strength is widely recognized as reaching the top of the fifth rank, making him one of the core pillars of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Of course, the "miniature star" in front of us is not the real Liulan Star Lord, but a special clone of him.

Its power is at the level of a fifth-order universe lord!

"Human Luo Feng?"

The majestic voice rang out again, and the miniature star rippled slightly, its light flowing, as if a pair of eyes were looking at Luo Feng.

His tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger, yet carrying a condescending scrutiny.

As the personal disciple of Hu Yanbo, the "Lord of All Things," Luo Feng is hailed as the most outstanding genius of the human race after All Things, and he recently killed the cosmic overlord.

His strength is considered by outsiders to have reached the level of a top cosmic overlord.

This level is something that could catch the eye of someone like Lord Liulan.

Of course, it just means that I was able to get in.

"Since you're here, take out the Qijing Stone." The voice of Lord Liulan continued, carrying a sense of entitlement, showing no regard for Luo Feng as a competitor.

"Unlike the previous side halls and corridors, this place is now before the main hall, the core of the Temple of the Divine Being."

"Only when two beings possessing the Mirror Stone simultaneously imprint their divine power on the gate-opening stele before the temple entrance can this gate be opened."

Lord Liulan spoke casually, his gaze not lingering on Luo Feng, but rather focused on the massive black door, as if trying to see through it to see if the most powerful treasure inside was still there.

"Is this the main hall?" Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's gaze swept over the magnificent and mysterious blue hall, which was far more grand than any of the previous halls, and finally landed on the pitch-black giant door and the dark gold stone tablet in front of it.

The spiritual fluctuations of the divine runes on the stone tablet were indeed consistent with what the Lord of Sulfur Star had said, describing the method for opening the palace gate.

"But my master contacted me before, saying that he was also waiting in front of a main hall somewhere." A hint of doubt flashed through Luo Feng's mind.

He had been in constant contact with the Lord of the Wilderness through the virtual universe after entering the Temple of the Divine God, informing him of his progress.

"Could it be that this Temple of Divergent Spirits has more than one main hall?" Luo Feng wondered to himself, considering the possibility of a "dual main hall."

"A 'Dual Main Hall'? That's incredible! Two of the strongest treasures?"

As his thoughts raced, Luo Feng also headed towards the giant gate.

Before learning the "Divine Power Burning Secret Technique," Luo Feng wouldn't have wanted to test his skills against Lord Shang Liulan, even with the Star Tower in hand.

But now!

"Why not give it a try?" A fighting spirit flickered in Luo Feng's eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, the dark golden Qijing Stone appeared in his palm, radiating a faint resonance with the palace gate.

Seeing that Luo Feng had actually taken out the Qijing Stone, the light of the miniature star that Liulan Star Lord had transformed into seemed to solidify slightly: "Very good. In that case, let's open the palace gates together. As for what happens after we enter, each of us will have to rely on our own abilities."

Lord Liulan didn't say anything threatening, but the invisible pressure and the matter-of-fact attitude showed that he didn't regard Luo Feng, this junior, as an equal competitor at all.

In his mind, once the palace gates opened, if there were any treasures, with his strength, seizing them would be a piece of cake.

Luo Feng did not respond, but simply held the Qijing Stone and strode towards the entrance of the temple.

The Lord of Liulan Star also floated forward.

The two were hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, but at the same time they placed their palms (or the phantom of palms formed from light) on the palace gate and poured their divine power and the aura of the Qijing Stone into it.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the dark golden stone tablet burst forth with dazzling light, and the divine runes on it seemed to come alive as they moved. A beam of light rose up, like a key, and shot toward the pitch-black giant door.

Rumble—

Under the light, the massive black door slowly opened a crack inward!

Almost the instant the palace doors opened, the miniature star that Liulan Star Lord had transformed into suddenly shone brightly, turning into a stream of light and rushing in first!

However, the moment he moved, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his side!

Luo Feng's chaotic golden wings flapped behind him, and he arrived first despite being behind, rushing towards the open door crack with a speed that was in no way inferior to Luo Feng's!

Both of them could see through the cracks that there was a huge altar at the end of the main hall.

Four silver claw-like weapons, each over ten kilometers long and radiating a faint aura of power, hovered above the massive altar.

It is exactly what is written on the stone tablet in front of the palace gate—"Peak Supreme Set Treasure: Void Rift"!

Of course, Luo Feng already knew that there was a treasure inside the hall.

The form of the Star Lord Liulan was even more excited!

I thought it would be a wasted effort, but I came here with the intention of just taking a look since this clone seemed to have some free time.

To everyone's surprise, the box behind the door was not empty; it actually contained treasure, and an astonishing one at that—a complete set of top-tier, supreme-grade treasures!

Such a treasure, even to them, possesses immeasurable value!

Even better, the competitor next to him was just Luo Feng.

"Get out of here!"

As the Star Lord of Liulan made his move, the miniature star suddenly shone brightly, and then a blazing white spear of light shot towards Luo Feng!

However, he was met with Luo Feng's fierce counterattack!

Faced with the potentially lethal blazing white spear, Luo Feng not only did not dodge, but instead let out a long roar, his divine body suddenly swelled to tens of thousands of kilometers, dark golden light surged on the surface of his armor, and his chaotic golden wings stretched to their fullest extent.

At the same time, a long shuttle appeared in his hand, thick at one end and pointed at the other. This was the Star Tower, transformed using the special treasure given to him by the Mountain Guest.

This seemingly unremarkable long shuttle suddenly shone brightly.

"The Golden Light!"

Luo Feng frantically poured his divine power into the long shuttle in his hand.

He was unleashing the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, "Golden Light," which he had comprehended.

"~~~ Like a snap, the moment the long shuttle pierced out, it seemed to shape the space in front into a vortex passage."

The two attacks, each containing terrifying power, collided with a deafening roar!

The stalemate lasted only a moment.

The next moment, the blazing white spear was knocked away and transformed into a red spear.

Luo Feng himself did not pause at all, passing through the palace gate and continuing towards the altar.

"What?!"

Although the "miniature star" that Liulan Star Lord had transformed into continued to move forward, Liulan Star Lord was also very surprised at this moment. Although he did not use his strongest method because he was concerned that Luo Feng came from the human race, he still used the peak secret technique of the universe master, which was enough to severely injure a top universe overlord.

And this power was actually defeated head-on by Luo Feng?

Lord Liulan instantly dropped his contempt.

He realized that the human youth before him was a genius not much less talented than his teacher after his enlightenment.

He is fully qualified to be considered a true competitor!

"Interesting." The resounding voice rang out again, now devoid of any casualness. "It seems I truly underestimated you. From now on, I will treat you as a genuine competitor."

As they spoke, the blazing white spear struck again, this time with even greater power, and even with chaotic energy surging from it.

Moreover, starlight appeared out of nowhere in the void within the entire hall; it was none other than the Star Lord Liulan's renowned domain-type treasure—the "Star Sea Curtain"!

He intends to suppress Luo Feng's speed with his domain and defeat Luo Feng with his strongest secret technique.

"The strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, combined with a top-level domain treasure, Lord Liulan, you think highly of me!" Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, the pressure increased sharply, but his pride grew even stronger.

He began to activate the "Divine Power Burning Secret Technique," and his aura surged instantly!

At the same time, endless dark golden sword light, like a bursting dam of a galaxy, surged out from Luo Feng's body!

Wherever the Sword River passed, the starlight domain that spread out was pushed back and even formed a counter-pressure force in some areas!

This was the very treasure that Huyan Bo had given to Luo Feng before he came to the Qishen Temple—the Sword River Luo!

Hu Yanbo is now using top-tier domain treasures, which he obtained from the original star as a reward for Luo Feng's combat power reaching the level of a universe master.

"Sword River Luo" is a top-tier, supreme domain treasure, the domain it transforms into! In the battle against Lord Liulan Star, it can gain a slight advantage!

In fact, this is because Luo Feng has not yet comprehended the second form of the Chaos Golden Wings behind him. Otherwise, with the blessing of the Golden Kingdom and the cooperation of Sword River Luo, he could directly destroy the Star Sea Curtain of Liulan Star Lord.

Just as the "Starry Sea Curtain" was temporarily blocked by the "Sword River Luo" domain, the blazing white spear carrying chaotic energy was already upon him!

Luo Feng's eyes flashed with divine light as he poured his burning divine power into the Star Tower shuttle in his hand without reservation.

Once again, "Golden Light" is driving the excitement!

Another bombardment.

With both sides at peace, they continued on their way.

"Blocked it again?!" The Star Lord of Liulan was finally filled with shock.

He used his strongest secret technique, combined with a top-tier domain treasure, yet he still couldn't defeat Luo Feng?!

Luo Feng was equally shocked at that moment.

The surge of power brought about by the burning divine power was unparalleled. Combined with the Star Tower and his own unique skills, he was actually able to withstand the strongest secret technique of a fifth-order universe master!

However, there is a price to pay: the divine body burns extremely rapidly.

Fortunately, he was prepared. The Golden Horned Beast clone and the Rayquaza clone in the World Ring could continuously transfer divine power to him, quickly restoring his original divine body.

As long as he isn't instantly killed, he has the confidence to maneuver!

"You are qualified to receive my third move, my strongest ultimate move," said Lord Liulan solemnly.

He had to admit that the human youth before him had forced his clone to the point where he had to use all his strength.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

After obtaining the authority of the Lord of the Universe, he knew that at the level of a top-tier fifth-order Lord of the Universe, the "strongest secret technique of a typical Lord of the Universe" was no longer sufficient to distinguish between superior and inferior.

What truly allows them to roam the universe and stand out from their peers is the ultimate fusion technique, which combines different strongest secret techniques to create a qualitative change in power!

Since the essence of esoteric techniques is a combination of knowledge, insight, and will, once thoroughly understood and mastered, it will be deeply imprinted in one's consciousness.

Therefore, what the main body can do, the clones can naturally do as well. However, due to the limitations of the clones' divine power, life gene level, and the treasures they possess, they cannot unleash the same world-destroying power as the main body.

However, even when the "Strongest Fusion Secret Technique" is performed by an avatar, and even if it is paired with only an ordinary peak treasure, its power far exceeds that of the strongest secret technique of a common universe master.

"Buzzing..."

It was still that blazing white spear, and chaotic energy was still surging on it. But after a moment, parts of the blazing white spear began to be covered by darkness.

In an instant, light and darkness merged on the spear.

"It's here!" The boundless pressure pressed down like the universe itself, but Luo Feng's consciousness was operating even faster than before!

Unbeknownst to him, he had directly broken through the second layer of the Star Tower's Law Runes.

"Only by fighting against the strong can one gain enlightenment!" Luo Feng recalled what his teacher, Zuo Shan Ke, had said.

Of course, this statement is followed by "Except for your teacher, the Lord of All Things!"

Luo Feng understood the first half of the sentence very well, but he still didn't understand the second half. However, he felt that he should be able to catch up with Teacher Wanxiang at this moment!

"break!"

Luo Feng roared, thrusting his long shuttle forward once more. "Luo Feng, hand over the treasure component you obtained, and I'll exchange it for a top-tier treasure."

Outside the Temple of the Divine God, in the vast void, the Temple of the Divine God, built against the mountain, emitted a rumbling sound, and the golden light that had spread for millions of kilometers was rapidly receding.

Luo Feng and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror were facing each other from a distance from the Lord of Liulan Star, and the atmosphere was subtle.

The battle for the Temple of the Divine God has come to an end, and the result was unexpected by many onlookers—the greatest treasure trove was not an empty chest!

The most powerful treasure of the Primordial Star is inside.

Two items.

The biggest winners are none other than the Star Lord of Liulan, the Lord of Huangjian, and—Luo Feng.

Lord of Desolation was lucky; his opponent was a third-tier Universe Lord from the Nine Domains Alliance.

With overwhelming power, the Lord of the Wasteland easily defeated his opponent and collected all the treasures in the main hall, reaping a rich reward.

However, the Star Lord of Liulan was unlucky enough to encounter Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was far more difficult to deal with than expected. Under pressure, he even broke through the enemy's defenses and snatched a piece of the "Void Rift" set from the altar.

In the end, the supreme treasure set "Rending Void" was obtained by Lord Liulan Star, who acquired the remaining three pieces, while Luo Feng obtained one of them.

According to the unwritten rules of the universe, when a set of precious treasure components are obtained by different powerful individuals, in order to prevent the treasure's power from being dispersed, they usually try to transfer the treasure to the powerful individual who possesses the main components through a transaction.

The Lord of Liulan Star is clearly the owner of the main components.

The Lord of the Wilderness stood to the side and behind Luo Feng, serving as both a deterrent and a show of support.

He was also amazed by the performance of his grand-disciple.

To be able to snatch a treasure component from a powerhouse of the same caliber as Lord Liulan Star, his strength is probably comparable to my normal level.

"This growth rate is truly worthy of my most proud grand-disciple!" Lord of the Wasteland gloated inwardly.

Luo Feng stood in mid-air, his aura surprisingly strong.

With an avatar inside the World Ring, even if divine power is constantly burning, the main body can remain intact for a period of time.

He's currently considering what kind of ultimate treasure would be suitable.

He pondered for a moment, about to ask the opinion of his teacher, the Lord of All Things, whom he had been in contact with in the virtual universe.

Just as Luo Feng was about to ask a question, a voice came from afar.

"Liu Lan, return my disciple's most precious component, and I'll let your clone return safely."
