Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 222 Piggy, Johnny's here!

It floated silently above the crystal platform, entwined by countless mysterious chains that shimmered with a faint light.

Its main body is a dark silver arm armor that can be described as a work of art, with sharp and smooth lines, covering the area from the forearm to the back of the hand.

The surface of the arm armor is not a smooth, one-piece surface, but rather composed of countless layers of dark silver flakes, billions of times finer than a human hair.

It was pieced together seamlessly.

Each thin slice is naturally imprinted with intricate patterns resembling galaxy vortexes. Gazing at them for a while in the light, one feels as if their soul is being drawn into the endless abyss of those patterns.

However, this is merely its normal state.

In the center of the back of the hand on the arm armor is a multi-faceted rhomboid crystal about the size of a fist, with what appears to be a slowly flowing liquid light inside.

The crystal exhibits a color that is neither real nor ethereal, seemingly existing yet also appearing to connect to another dimension.

With Hu Yanbo's current eyesight as an eternal true god, he could see that inside this core crystal, there were more than 100 million nested yet independently operating micro-texture structures, which together formed a complex energy cycle and transformation center.

Most notably, above this arm armor, nine dark silver components, each about a foot long and of various shapes, float silently in the void.

they are, respectively:

Three blades shaped like feathers with extremely sharp edges;

Two spiral-shaped spikes with tiny holes at the tips;

Two barbed, openable ring-shaped latches;

And two thick, curved armor plates with energy-absorbing grooves on their surfaces.

These components are also made of that dark silver material, subtly echoing the secret patterns on the main body of the arm armor, as if they were different parts of a whole.

"A mechanical treasure, and an extremely high-level, combined mechanical treasure at that," Hu Yanbo exclaimed with delight.

He had seen similar creations in the memories passed down from the Wu Kingdom.

It is even more astonishing than the most core achievement of the Wu Kingdom—the Chaos Golden Wing.

It is only attainable by those who have achieved great merit or are among the strongest.

The so-called Eternal True God-level Mechanical Treasure allows one to control a portion of the Chaos Realm's power, making it the most powerful treasure on the entire Origin Continent.

There is no fundamental difference between them.

However, the perfectly combined Eternal True God Mechanical Flow Treasure exhibits chaotic characteristics in its methods of protection, killing enemies, escaping, and erosion.

He reached out and passed through the layers of sealing runes.

Upon sensing his soul aura as a core inheritor of the Wu Kingdom, these seals retreated silently as if they possessed sentience, without obstructing him.

This seal is completely different from the ordinary permissions of the Xuanhuang Ship.

It is not targeting simply the "controller," but the "successor."

Even if a powerful figure gains control of the Xuanhuang Ship, it is absolutely impossible to break the seal here without the approval of Xuanhuang Marquis Molin and the recognition of the most core heritage of the Wu Kingdom.

Of course, if a power of the level of a Chaos Overlord were to forcibly descend, that would be a different story.

As his fingers touched the dark silver arm armor, perfect divine power seeped into it.

"Buzz!"

The arm armor trembled slightly, and the core crystal suddenly lit up!

At the same time, the nine suspended components also emitted a low hum, resonating with the arm armor.

A piece of information flooded into Huyanbo's mind:

Eternal True God-level Single-Unit Mechanical Treasure - Tripartite Power.

With a slight thought, Hu Yanbo channeled his perfect divine power, at the level of an Eternal True God, into the dark silver arm armor in his hand.

"Buzz—!!!"

This tremor was far stronger than the previous ones!

Every piece of dark silver on the arm armor seemed to cheer, with energy constantly bursting out from the tiny gaps.

The nine suspended components began to rotate rapidly around Huyanbo's right arm, leaving behind afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, the front of Huyanbo's right arm had transformed into a ferocious weapon with the characteristics of slashing, thrusting, and tearing!

On the dark silver blade, blood-red energy patterns (manifested due to the characteristics of Huyanbo's divine power) pulsated like blood vessels.

Hu Yanbo didn't even need to swing his arm; he simply pointed the tip of his arm blade at the distance and made a slash.

A massive void rift was then created.

You should know that when he first entered the core sealed space of this armory, even with the vast power of his perfect divine body as an Eternal True God, he felt that the space here was so stable that it was outrageous.

Although he could move freely, if he did not use the privileges of the Xuanhuang Ship, he would feel obvious stagnation and resistance if he wanted to tear through the void at will, teleport, or launch large-scale attacks, as if he were stuck in an invisible quagmire.

Now, it only takes a simple swipe.

"Simply using crude drive, and forcibly activating its basic properties with divine power, it possesses such power." Hu Yanbo quietly watched the void rift that was slowly healing (at a speed far slower than the self-repair of normal space).

"Based on this alone, I am no weakling in the Eternal God."

"Not to mention the other two Chaos Realm techniques!"

Hu Yanbo didn't continue speaking. With a thought, the components in the shape of his arm blade smoothly disintegrated and retracted, and the nine components turned into streams of light and disappeared into his body.

The "Triple Power" arm guards also lost their luster, transforming back into unremarkable wrist guards.

The next moment, Hu Yanbo's figure appeared outside the spaceship, his gaze like lightning, seemingly about to traverse endless distances and lock onto the depths of the Inclined Peak Realm.

"To truly warm up, we need to find some opponents."

Endless black currents surged, eternally enveloping the area known as the "Dark Land".

Of course, with Huyan Bo's current realm as an eternal true god, his will is even more holy. With a slight expansion of his thoughts, he can see through the darkness of appearance and directly overlook its inner structure and origin.

In his perception, it was an enormous, strangely complex supersphere.

Countless dimensions fold and intertwine within it, and waves of darkness and destruction flow like the blood and veins of this "supersphere".

"A natural nest born for 'destruction'," Huyanbo praised.

But in a flash!

Without any intention of hiding, Huyan Bo took a step forward and entered the dark place directly.

He did not change his form or conceal his aura; he simply maintained his human appearance, wearing a simple black battle armor and an inconspicuous dark silver bracer on his right wrist.

A true strongman doesn't need to act stealthily.

What matters is being upright and honest.

Somewhere on the edge of a dark place.

This is an endless mountain range composed of some kind of strange black rock. The mountains are filled with a thick, ink-like fog of destruction. Even a cosmic lord who is touched by a trace of it will have his divine body rapidly decay.

"boom!"

A vast and violent wave of destruction erupted deep within the mountains, accompanied by angry roars and the booming of colliding energy.

Two hideous and grotesque beasts are locked in a life-or-death struggle!

They are all classic World Beast forms with two heads and four arms, only with slight differences in details.

The aura they exuded far surpassed that of ordinary first-tier world beasts, reaching the peak of the first tier!

The newly born early-stage first-order world beast is about thirty times stronger than the peak first-order world beast!

These two Beasts have clearly devoured more than ten of their own kind, including many powerful beings at the late stage of the first tier, in order to accumulate such power and stand at the pinnacle of the first tier, only one step away from breaking through to the second tier.

"Kanus! You're nothing but this! Today, you're destined to become my food for advancement!" One of the heads of the dark red Beast roared hoarsely, its four arms waving simultaneously, conjuring four destructive spears wrapped in black lightning, which it hurled fiercely!

"Bag! Don't speak too soon! It's not certain who will eat whom!" The gray-black world beast Kanus responded sharply, twisting its body strangely to narrowly avoid three spears. The fourth spear was blocked by a black bone shield that had condensed on one of its arms, exploding into a burst of destructive light.

The two Beasts were locked in a stalemate, locked in a frenzied struggle, their eyes burning with greed for the flesh and blood of their own kind and the source of destruction.

At this crucial moment when the battle was raging—

An aura of supreme majesty and power suddenly descended upon this battlefield!

This aura appeared without warning, directly piercing through the energy turbulence and destructive domain of their fierce battle, and was clearly imprinted on the soul perception of the two world beasts.

"This is----?!"

Before the thought was finished, and before even the fear could fully spread within the two world beasts, the "world" within them shattered silently, like a fragile bubble touched by a needle.

Deep within the gloomy land, on a vast black ocean.

"Bedi," with its dark gold color and nearly twice the size of an ordinary world beast, was tearing apart a dying first-tier world beast with its massive jaws filled with sharp teeth.

The source of destruction flowed continuously into Bedy's body through the tearing motion, making its aura increasingly solid and terrifying.

It, Bedy, is now a third-tier world beast!

He is one of the best among the countless battles in this dark place, and he is currently at the forefront.

However, the four single eyes on its two ferocious heads were not completely immersed in the pleasure of devouring; instead, they revealed a hint of human-like doubt and vigilance.

Something's not right—

In theory, each Beast of the Realm can roughly sense the location and status of all its kin, which is the basis for their hunting and breeding of other Beasts for evolution.

However, the number of Realm Beasts in the Dark Land is enormous and changes every moment. As a third-tier Realm Beast, Bedy cannot possibly be distracted by the specific movements of every low-tier Realm Beast at all times.

They usually only pay attention to hunting targets that pose a threat to themselves or are close to them.

But at this moment, during a lull in the battle, as it habitually swept its eyes across the dense network of sensory points that symbolized the existence of its kind, it felt a strange pang of unease.

The light spot disappeared too fast!

It's getting faster and faster. At first, a few disappeared occasionally, but now large areas are disappearing in large numbers.

The fact that large areas of these areas have now disappeared across regions has happened in the blink of an eye.

It was as if an unseen giant hand was systematically cleaning the stains on the "map of the dark land" with a steady rhythm and path.

"Could it be—" Brady stopped biting, abruptly raised his head, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

"Little Beasts."

A voice, as if teasing a child, came from some distant place.

"All things are coming."

"Remember to hide it well~"

Just as Brady recalled him, the voice entered his consciousness.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Bedi, this ferocious and powerful world beast that had reached the third rank and whose soul essence was far stronger than that of first and second rank world beasts, suddenly let out an extremely mournful howl!

It felt as if its two heads had been simultaneously and violently struck by an invisible giant hammer!

The sound was not a simple auditory stimulus; each syllable was like a red-hot, spiked chisel, fiercely chiseling into its very core!

It was as if millions of steel needles were frantically stirring within its consciousness!

pain!

Indescribable pain 1

Strong people all have willpower, but they use their willpower in different subtle ways.

The "Divine Eye Secret Technique" created by Zuoshanke is a systematic process of tempering, condensing, and sublimating one's own will, and transforming it into a concrete attack method of staring.

Although Huyanbo did not create a special secret technique for willpower, he possessed a willpower that was considered quite good even at the Saint level!

This allows his every move, every word, and even every thought to contain supreme will and power!

At this moment, he merely spoke casually, and his holy will, which transcends all things, spread with the sound, forming a terrifying impact of will comparable to the sixth volume of "The Secret Technique of the Divine Eye"—enough to shatter ordinary eternal true gods!

This is because Bedy is a third-tier world beast with a relatively strong soul essence, and is extremely far from the source of the sound (where Hu Yanbo's true body is located). The impact it received has been greatly reduced due to the distance and the special environment of the dim place.

For those second-tier world beasts that did not reach the third tier, this sound was nothing short of a death knell!

"Ugh—!"

"No--!"

My head is going to explode!

Throughout the dimly lit land, countless second-tier realm beasts, whether fighting, lurking, or slumbering, simultaneously let out painful and desperate roars.

They were even worse off than Bedi; some clutched their heads and slammed them against the black rocks, while others simply fainted.

As for those first-tier world beasts—which were the most numerous but also the weakest—

"Splash!" "Splash!" "Splash!" --

Like wheat being felled in swathes by an invisible scythe, they didn't even have time to utter a complete scream before the souls stored within the realm were instantly mortally wounded, their consciousness plunged into boundless darkness, and they instantly became lambs to the slaughter.

"Little Beasts, the Myriad Manifestations are here! Remember to hide well!"

Empowered by the domain formed by the "three powers," that gentle yet mocking voice spread infinitely, like a death knell, still slowly echoing in every corner of the dim land and deep within the souls of every world beast.

As the sound rang out again and again, the beasts in the area fell down in droves, like fallen leaves swept by a gale, fainting and losing consciousness.

This is not a battle.

This was a one-sided, crushing purge of will.

On the verge of collapse, Morosa struggled to raise his head. His blurred vision seemed to pierce through the darkness and see a figure as majestic as an ancient mountain, surrounded by a faint golden light, walking slowly towards him.

Wherever he went, darkness retreated and destruction subsided.

"Little Beasts, the myriad phenomena are here! Remember to hide well~, 3"
