Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 228 The Chaos Overlord

Not long after Huyanbo and his two companions ventured into the cycle of reincarnation.

The primordial universe region, Huyanbo's miniature universe.

"Boom!"

At the center of a small universe with a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, there is a special primordial space of the universe. At this moment, this primordial space of the universe is collapsing, and chaotic power is emerging from within, with the laws of chaos materializing and manifesting.

"What's wrong?"

"This is...

'

Within Huyanbo's miniature universe, a vast number of living beings reside.

Besides the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena, most of the core members and key talents recruited and cultivated by the other three major human forces and the Easy Travel Chamber of Commerce come to Hu Yanbo's small universe for training.

At this moment, all the powerful beings who had reached the level of the Lord of the Universe clearly sensed the anomaly at the level of the origin of the universe.

"The laws of the universe are being reconstructed?" A human universe master who was cultivating in seclusion in a secret realm suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is the progenitor breaking through?" Another alien true god from the Yixing Chamber of Commerce floated in the starry sky, his divine sense trying its best to extend outward, only to find that his perception, which could originally cover several light-years with a single thought, was now severely interfered with by the newly born chaotic power inside the universe.

"But didn't the progenitor just leave?"

The outer edge of the cosmic ocean, the edge of Huyanbo's miniature universe.

"Whoosh!"

The cosmic membrane, which was originally clearly distinct from the chaotic airflow of the cosmic sea, began to blur at its edges.

"Um?

"6

A streak of light flew out from within the cosmic membrane; it was none other than the rampaging demon god.

He arrived at the edge of the miniature universe and stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

Originally, beyond the cosmic membrane was the chaotic void of the cosmic sea.

But now, starting from the cosmic membrane, several light-years, tens of light-years, and hundreds of light-years extend outward.

A completely new chaotic region, exactly the same as the chaotic air currents of the cosmic ocean, is being born out of thin air!

These newly emerging chaos seemed to be secreted from the membrane of the universe.

"So, has the Primordial Ancestor of All Things broken through again?"

"His breakthroughs are as easy as drinking water!"

The rampaging demon god smiled bitterly to himself.

Since joining the Hongmeng and receiving guidance from ancient inheritances, coupled with the accumulation and refinement of the previous two reincarnation eras, he has only created a top-tier eighth-order secret technique, still just one step away from the ninth order.

But what about the progenitor of all things?

Looking at the scene before him, it was clearly a sign of breaking through to a higher realm!

"What realm is it beyond the True God, and beyond that, and beyond that?" This thought flashed through the mind of the Rampaging Demon God.

"That level of skill would have placed them among the dominant powers of ancient civilizations!"

The news quickly reached Luo Feng.

"So Master Wanxiang broke through again right after he left?!" When Luo Feng received the news, he was studying the life gene map in the hall and almost couldn't control his divine power fluctuations.

"Is there no justice left?!"

He was still processing the news when a streak of light landed outside the hall.

"Luo Feng".

"Senior Brother." Luo Feng went up to greet him. Although he didn't see Puti often, as fellow disciples of the Mountain Lodger, Luo Feng still respected this senior brother quite a bit.

Puti's face showed obvious anxiety: "Teacher's miniature universe is starting to collapse!"

Luo Feng nodded calmly: "I know."

"You know?" Puti was taken aback.

"My teacher told me this before he left," Luo Feng said.

He said he would use some kind of special secret technique after passing through reincarnation, after which the mini-universe would collapse, and that we didn't need to worry.

"A secret technique?" Puti was even more puzzled.

"What kind of secret technique could destroy a miniature universe?"

The microcosm is the foundation of the true God; with the universe collapsing, there is no hope for the future.

Luo Feng shook his head: "They didn't say anything specific. If you want to know the details, Senior Brother, you'll probably have to wait until you pass through the cycle of reincarnation in the future."

"These are the teacher's exact words."

"Breaking through the cycle of reincarnation—" Puti's face fell.

He is now a true god, but even after the evolution of chaos, he only created a seventh-order secret technique.

To break through the cycle of reincarnation, one must at least create a tenth-level secret technique.

As it stands, the only ones who can break through the cycle of reincarnation, besides the founder of the giant axe, are this junior brother in front of us!

"I have no chance of traversing the cycle of reincarnation anytime soon," Puti said, his expression softening as he learned that it was the mountain dweller's own arrangement.

"But junior brother, you have a very good chance."

"Since the teacher is alright, I'll take my leave now and won't disturb your cultivation any longer, junior brother."

After Puti finished speaking, he nodded to Luo Feng and then transformed into a stream of light and left.

Luo Feng watched his senior brother leave, then stood alone in front of the hall, his gaze lingering for a moment in the direction of the Cosmic Sea.

On one side is Teacher Wanxiang's vast universe, which is evolving into chaos and ever-changing phenomena;

On the other side is Teacher Zuoshanke's miniature universe, which is crumbling inch by inch and returning to nothingness.

"My two teachers." Luo Feng couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

"After completing the cycle of reincarnation, this small universe has caused such a huge commotion in the cosmic ocean."

"Others, after completing their cycle of reincarnation, simply discard their own miniature universes and let them collapse on the spot."

The difference is too big.

Oh, right.

Luo Feng suddenly remembered that there were three people who had left together during this journey through reincarnation.

Besides Teacher Wanxiang and Teacher Zuoshanke, there is also Yuanzu.

Meanwhile, the primordial miniature universe was quietly suspended in the cosmic sea, showing no signs of expansion or collapse, and everything was as usual.

"Perhaps, the way the original ancestor behaved, quietly and without fanfare, was the normal way after entering the cycle of reincarnation."

9

Originating from the continent, vast and boundless.

As the primary plane of this dimension's source world, its spacetime structure is more stable than imagined, and its oppressive force is so strong that it is suffocating.

Even a powerful being who can easily tear through the void and teleport tens of thousands of light-years in the Cosmic Sea would find even flying difficult here.

.

The central region of the continent is ruled by two ancient kingdoms—the Flame Wind Kingdom and the Thunder Kingdom.

These two ancient kingdoms possess unfathomable depths, the vastest territories, and the richest resources. They are also the most prosperous and powerful core areas on the entire continent.

Following these two ancient kingdoms are the three first-class kingdoms that are publicly known: the Kingdom of Myriad Realms, the Kingdom of Heavenly Wood, and the Eastern Extreme Region.

They also possess vast territories and rich heritage and opportunities that countless creatures yearn for.

Further down are numerous second- and third-rate countries.

Kingdoms like "Shi Kingdom" and "Wu Kingdom" belong to the second-tier kingdom level. They usually need at least one powerful expert at the second level of God King to be in charge, and have multiple God Kings to be able to establish themselves.

As for third-rate countries, the situation is even more common.

The more powerful ones might have several God-Kings at the first level forming an alliance to govern together;

The weak often have only one ruler at the God-King level struggling to support them.

These types of countries are the most numerous and the most scattered.

However, those who can successfully open up and defend a kingdom on the Origin Continent either have a king with outstanding combat power in the first realm of God King, enough to deter the surrounding areas.

They either possess unique secret techniques, formations, or special resources, giving them a formidable foundation that others fear.

As for those ordinary God-Kings at the first level, although they have the qualifications to expand their territory, most of them are unable to maintain it for long. They mostly choose to establish sects and recruit disciples rather than risk building a country.

"call out!"

Above a desolate and nameless mountain range, the void rippled slightly, and an inconspicuous streak of light fell silently like a shooting star, disappearing into the continuous peaks without causing much of a ripple.

The mountain range stretches for hundreds of billions of kilometers, with its rugged terrain resembling a sleeping ancient giant. The lush forests undulate with the wind, and occasionally, exotic birds with astonishing wingspans soar across the sky.

As dawn broke, dappled sunlight filtered through the thin mountain mist. A simple, unassuming palace appeared out of nowhere, hovering quietly atop an inconspicuous mountaintop platform.

"Whoosh!"

The palace doors opened silently, and two figures flew out and landed on the platform.

Compared to when they were in Yu Shenhai, both of their appearances have undergone subtle adjustments.

Hu Yanbo transformed into a composed young man, dressed in a dark black battle robe, his aura mellow and restrained, as if he were one with his surroundings.

-

Mohe transformed into a middle-aged strong man with a resolute face and a faint aura of bloodlust and killing intent lingering between his brows. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the fierce feeling that came from the essence of life still came over you, clearly writing the words "not to be trifled with" on his face.

"Master, the spatial and temporal oppression of this Origin Continent is so heavy!" Mohe stretched his arms and frowned slightly.

Even though he had reached the level of an eternal true god, he felt that his divine power was not as smooth and free as it was in the cosmic sea, and he was greatly restricted in his every move.

"That's true." Hu Yanbo said calmly, feeling the heavy pressure all around him.

The stability of spacetime here far exceeds that of the cosmic sea, and the laws governing it are also much more rigorous.

If he were near the primordial universe, with his current cultivation as the ruler of chaos, he could shatter the vast void with a single breath. But here, he felt as if he were a fish in deep water.

That's right, Hu Yanbo had already used the pre-payment system again before he descended into this world.

At this moment, the mental projection panel clearly displayed:

[Project Already Funded: Chaos Realm (Cultivation Level)]

[Prerequisite: Travel to the Origin Continent (Completed)]

Repayment conditions (completing any one of them is sufficient)

1. Kill a Chaos Overlord

[2. Obtain 100 billion units of cosmic sand]

Hu Yanbo's mind swept over the three conditions, weighing them in his mind.

Killing the Chaos Overlord seems to be the most straightforward condition, but it is also the most difficult.

The Lord of Chaos is already a powerful figure on the Origin Continent, having established his own sect and ruling over a vast territory.

To be able to kill such a powerful expert, one must at least be at the Chaos Realm.

As for the trillions of cosmic sands, this path is equally difficult.

Cosmic sand is not as common as the naturally condensed chaotic crystals and chaotic stones in the Ruins of Chaos.

It cannot be formed naturally; it must be condensed bit by bit by a god-king level being who, while cultivating and comprehending the Great Dao of Origin, uses their own god-king will and vast divine power, expending mental effort and time.

Each grain of cosmic sand contains the pure primordial power refined by a god-king, and within the grain of sand is sealed a miniature, almost realistic, nascent universe, which is extremely mysterious.

Even among the God-Kings, many use cosmic sand for trade.

If one could gather billions of cosmic sands into an eternal true god, it would be completely unreasonable for him not to reach the Chaos Realm.

"Two conditions, two paths." Hu Yanbo's mind raced.

"But whether it's killing the Chaos Overlord or acquiring trillions of cosmic sands, given my current state, it's not advisable to act immediately."

.

Hu Yanbo has a clear understanding of his current situation.

Although he has mastered the laws of chaos through the advance system and entered the level of the chaos master, he is still in the "empty realm" of enlightenment.

His bow-shaped universe has only just begun its transformation towards a higher level; the heart of the true god has not yet fully transformed into chaotic space and needs time to grow and transform.

The most important thing is that he never had time to systematically learn or study any of the secret techniques passed down at the Chaos Realm level—whether it be attack, defense, or escape techniques.

He has the realm of understanding, but lacks the corresponding strength and methods.

"At this moment, I can be said to be the most unyielding being in the Chaos Realm," Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

"Although I have a perfect divine body as a foundation, I am not easily killed by those extremely powerful eternal true gods."

"But if he were to encounter any being in the Chaos Realm, he would most likely be no match for them, and might even face the danger of perishing."

Exposing one's initial entry into the Chaos Realm on the Origin Continent is tantamount to a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace—a path to certain death.

"Lying dormant is the wise choice right now," Hu Yanbo quickly decided.

"First, find a safe and secluded place for Wu An to completely stabilize his realm, complete the transformation of his divine body and divine power, and learn a few secret techniques of the Chaos Realm."

"It's not too late to come out of the mountains once my perfect divine body at the Chaos Realm level has reached its limit."

The realm of Chaos Ruler encompasses a vast range of power.

"The bottom level of enlightenment is the breakthrough of the Chaos Realm," which usually refers to those newcomers who have just broken through and have not yet had time to solidify their advancement.

They possess the power and strength of the Chaos Realm, but their secret techniques, treasures, and combat experience remain at the top level of the Eternal True God, making them easy targets in the Chaos Realm.

On the Origin Continent, unless one has a powerful background or hides extremely well, such Chaos Realm cultivators rarely make a name for themselves in the open—among the ten Chaos Realm cultivators, only about one in ten would be in this awkward, low-level state.

However, the lifespan of the Chaos Realm is endless. As long as the limitations of the Meridian Depletion System are not too great, and given enough time to accumulate, one can generally steadily advance to the middle level of the Chaos Realm.

Like the Chaos Ruler who possesses an "infinite divine body," once the divine body is grown to the limit of the current realm, the strength can steadily step into the "middle level of the Chaos Realm" by relying on the huge advantage of the divine body.

If one cultivates a few more powerful secret techniques, deepens one's understanding of the realm, and develops in a balanced way in all aspects, one can be considered to be at the top of the Chaos Realm.

Reaching the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm is already quite remarkable!

Hu Yanbo anticipates that once his perfect divine body reaches its maximum potential, his strength will approach the top level.

If one cultivates some powerful secret techniques, one's strength can be further improved, reaching a level very close to the peak of the Chaos Realm!

The peak of the Chaos Realm has already touched the edge of becoming a God-King!

Having mastered nearly 99% of a certain branch of the Original Dao, only the bottleneck of sudden enlightenment remains.

Reaching this level means becoming a powerful figure who can influence the situation in remote areas of the Origin Continent.

"With that kind of strength as a foundation, whether it's to seize billions of cosmic sands or to find my son and kill a Chaos Ruler, I have enough confidence to do it." Hu Yanbo planned in his mind.

As for the potential risks of killing the Chaos Overlord?

For example, if the other party is reincarnated, will the forces behind them retaliate fiercely?

Hu Yanbo was in a state of confusion and had few concerns.

He was essentially talking about a path of "advance payment," where once the initial conditions for repayment are met, his strength can instantly leap forward.

If he truly annihilates a group of Chaos Rulers and completes the initial repayment, he can then receive advance payment again.

At that time, even if retaliation comes, he will have greater strength to deal with it.

"We'll see if it's revenge from our enemies or an increase in the strength of the enemy."

Of course, all of this is predicated on first safely hiding away and completing the accumulation of basic awareness.

"Let's get out of here first." Hu Yanbo didn't delay any longer. He took Mohe, concealed all his aura, and transformed into two inconspicuous streams of light. They silently disappeared into the vast, misty depths of the Yanlao Mountains below, and began to search for a suitable place to hide and cultivate in seclusion.
