Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 231 An Unexpected Joy

The primordial ancestor inquired about the cosmic sand because of a divine power incarnation left behind by Huyan Bo in the primordial universe, which gave him this instruction.

Hu Yanbo said that the Origin Continent is dangerous. If the place where the original ancestor is located encounters an insurmountable disaster in the future, he can ask the person in charge if there is a large amount of cosmic sand.

If the amount is satisfactory to Huyanbo, he may offer assistance as appropriate.

Of course, this calamity should not exceed the Chaos Realm; once it does, even Hu Yanbo will be powerless to help.

The ancestor remembered this instruction, but never imagined that it would need to be verified so soon.

The calamity that befell the Qinglan Sect has already arrived.

An unnamed mountain range, deep within a volcano.

Hu Yanbo sat cross-legged, his body exuding a profound aura of cause and effect. Countless subtle, invisible threads of cause and effect appeared and disappeared around him, intertwining and changing.

The Great Zhou Tian Secret Technique is a unique art created by the King of Wu based on the principles of cause and effect. It is profound and extensive, encompassing many aspects such as domain, defense, escape techniques, and offense.

However, directly using Wu's signature martial arts techniques on the continent of origin is too risky.

Using this as a blueprint, and combining his own understanding of the origin of cause and effect with the formless and shapeless characteristics of the perfect divine body, Hu Yanbo is working hard to develop a unique causal killing technique that focuses on extreme offense!

Time passed in meditation, and the sharp aura of cause and effect permeating the volcano grew stronger and stronger, even causing the void to emit a silent lament, as if an unseen blade was cutting through the veins of the laws.

Those guarding the outside in Mohe felt waves of unease that came from the depths of their souls.

At a certain moment, all the wandering illusory lines of cause and effect suddenly solidified, and then, like rivers flowing into the sea, they all disappeared into Huyanbo's body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and countless images of cause and effect, rise and fall, and calamities flashed by before finally settling into two deep, cold glints.

"The prototype of the 'Karma Sword' is complete," Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

This newly created secret method dissects the merit-based aspect of the "Great Circulation" and transforms many of the mysteries of the "Cause and Effect Tribulation" branch.

"Hmm?" Just as he had concealed his aura, the Primordial Ancestor's avatar in the Primal Universe told him everything that had happened there.

"One hundred billion cosmic sands?" A glint flashed in Hu Yanbo's eyes.

This amount is an astonishing fortune for many in the Chaos Realm!

It should be noted that even weapons at the peak of the Chaos Realm only cost around 50 billion.

"However, even after blocking this attack, if Black Fiend Marquis attacks again, we will still have to step in to stop him!" Hu Yanbo's thoughts raced.

One hundred billion units of cosmic sand were exchanged for a period of protection for the Qinglan Sect.

"The Qinglan Sect has certainly made a good plan," Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

"This Black Fiend Marquis is a top-tier Chaos Realm expert. To withstand such an existence for a long time, a hundred billion cosmic sands wouldn't be enough."

"However, although we don't have enough money, our opponents are quite formidable."

"I also want to see how much stronger I am now than the top of the Chaos Realm."

"I'll take the billions of cosmic sands."

Hu Yanbo is a newcomer, but his strength has soared, and he needs a significant stepping stone to announce his existence.

Fighting against a top-tier Chaos Realm expert like Black Fiend Marquis is undoubtedly the quickest and most effective way.

The Origin Continent is vast and boundless. The number of Chaos Rulers is small compared to the endless number of living beings, but scattered in various places, it is actually not too few.

What is truly scarce are powerful and awe-inspiring Chaos Rulers.

The stronger you are, the higher the level you can access, and the more channels you have to acquire rare resources.

Whether you are hired by a powerful force as a guest minister or a marquis with a high salary, or take on a "highly difficult" employment mission like now, you can obtain a continuous stream of cosmic sand and various resources.

Hu Yanbo took a step forward, taking Mohe with him and casually snatching the two Eternal True God-level alien beasts. His figure merged into the void and headed towards the Qinglan Sect.

Qinglan City, the last core city of the Qinglan Sect, is now shrouded in oppression and panic.

On the city wall, Sect Master Yun Ya's face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at the dark mass of enemy troops outside the city, especially the arrogant young figure hanging in front of the formation, Hei Lin, the son of Hei Sha Hou, known as "Little Demon God"!

Although Black Scale is only an Eternal True God, he has already comprehended many Chaos Realm techniques, possesses a solid foundation, and his combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level.

In this attack on Qinglan Continent, he served as the vanguard, sweeping across the land. Many of the Eternal True God Elders of the Qinglan Sect in other cities were defeated by him, and many were captured.

At this moment, Hei Lin was standing in the void, with demonic energy churning behind him. Beneath his feet were the captured elders of the Qinglan Sect, whose divine bodies had been pierced by his black demonic chains and who were being displayed like prey.

"Sect Master Yunya, I've heard that you are not only the number one Eternal True God of Qinglan Sect, but also one of the closest figures to the Chaos Ruler in your Qi Kingdom!" Hei Lin's arrogant voice echoed throughout the city through the array.

"If you can defeat me today, I will release these trash immediately."

"Your Qinglan Sect can also withdraw from Qinglan City unscathed!"

"If you dare not accept the challenge, or if you are defeated!"

"Every fifteen minutes, I will torture and kill one person in front of all of you."

"Kill all these useless fools, then raze your Qinglan City to the ground, leaving no one alive!" I will slaughter one person in public, until everyone is wiped out, and then I will break into your city!

As if to prove his point, the churning demonic energy behind him suddenly condensed into a ferocious black demonic blade, which slashed down at the nearest captured elder!

"puff!"

The head of a captured elder flew high into the air, his divine body and the heart of the true god annihilated in the raging divine power!

A deathly silence fell over the city walls, followed by an overwhelming surge of suppressed anger and grief.

Then came the third, the fourth —

"Yuan! When will the senior you invited arrive?!" An elder with a bushy beard and hair finally couldn't help but transmit his voice to Yuan Zu.

Not only him, but almost all the high-ranking officials turned their attention to the original ancestor.

Although the original ancestor had not been a member of the Qinglan Sect for long, the terrifying willpower he displayed (almost saintly) was undeniable.

Such willpower and talent are hard to find even in the entire Qi Kingdom. If Black Fiend Continent were willing to send such a peerless genius as a death spy, the price would be too high, and it doesn't make logical sense.

Moreover, and more realistically, as long as those two Chaos Realm ancestors of the Qinglan Sect are still alive.

Black Fiend Marquis's goal was merely to occupy Qinglan Continent and expel the Qinglan Sect's forces; he would never massacre all the disciples and elders of the Qinglan Sect.

However, once they leave Qinglan Continent, it won't be so easy for them to come back.

It was because of these considerations that the elders were willing to stay here and wait.

"That senior has emerged from seclusion and is rushing here with all his might!" the Primordial Ancestor replied.

"But the journey will still take time! Elders, please persevere a little longer!"

Before the ancestor had finished speaking, another elder was killed outside the city, and the sect leader Yun Ya, who was standing above the city, was furious.

"Damn it!!"

"Sect Master! Don't act rashly!" Several highly respected elders surrounded Yun Ya, anxiously trying to dissuade him. "Didn't they say that the Great Sage he invited is on his way?"

"Once that Great Sage arrives, Black Fiend Marquis will have his own way of dealing with him!"

"As long as Black Fiend Marquis is blocked, what are these Black Scales worth mentioning!"

"Let's be patient a little longer!"

"Be patient!"

"Endure?" Yun Ya suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp as knives, sweeping over every elder around him, as well as countless eyes on the city wall filled with anger, fear, or despair.

"How long will you endure this?"

"Endure until all our captured fellow disciples are tortured and slaughtered? Endure until our disciples and followers watch us elders cower and lose heart?"

"That Great Sage came at Yuan's request to stop the Black Fiend Marquis for my Qinglan Sect, so that my Qinglan Sect can still have a Chaos Continent to live on and a continent to provide resources."

"But that was a battle between two Chaos Realm experts."

"As a powerful figure in the Chaos Realm, the Great Sage that Heisha Hou originally invited was at most comparable to him."

"With the two saints locked in a standoff, even the captured disciples could not be rescued."

"And right now, it's an eternal God versus an eternal God!"

"It is those black-scaled creatures that are slaughtering my fellow disciples and trampling on the dignity of my Azure Mist Sect!"

His gaze swept over the captured elders, then over the arrogant Black Scales outside the city, and finally over those around him: "If you were locked outside the city today, at their mercy, I, Yun Ya, would also stand up and fight!"

"The inheritance of a sect relies on more than just resources, secret realms, and the protection of ancestors!" Yun Ya took a step forward, and the aura of the ultimate limit of the Eternal True God burst forth without reservation.

"We must also rely on our unwavering spirit and integrity, never allowing ourselves to be exploited or abandoning our fellow disciples!"

"If I do not fight today, even if the Qinglan Sect survives, its very soul will be scattered!"

"Open the side array passage." Yunya's voice was resolute.

"As the sect leader of the Qinglan Sect, I bear the responsibility for this battle."

"Sect Master!" the elders cried out in grief.

The progenitor couldn't help but step forward: "Sect Master! That senior is already on his way, perhaps—"

Yunya raised his hand to interrupt him: "Yuan, you have already rendered great service to the sect, so we should invite strong reinforcements."

"But some battles must be fought by someone."

"Some things must be fought for."

"This is the sect leader's responsibility."

After saying that, Yun Ya ignored everyone's attempts to stop him, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed out from the array passage that had been temporarily opened on one side of the city wall!

"Black-scaled brat! Yun Ya of the Qinglan Sect has come to slay you!"

The roar was like thunder, echoing across the battlefield.

Yunya attacked in a fit of rage!

He was already one of the most outstanding figures among the Eternal Gods, and now, under the immense pressure and grief of seeing his fellow disciples slaughtered, his consciousness was clearer than ever before.

The bottleneck of the Chaos Law that had been troubling him for so long suddenly loosened, and the Chaos Realm move he made suddenly became much more profound.

A flash of sword light appeared, followed by a hazy blue light that covered the sky and earth, like the morning mist of early spring spreading across the universe, or like the silent undercurrents of the deep sea, as it swept towards Black Scales with the tearing of space.

"This is the first Eternal God of Qi Kingdom. With the strength of an Eternal True God, he was able to tear apart the space of the Origin Continent by using a Chaos Realm technique." Black Scale's thoughts raced, and the dark red metal bracer he always wore on his left wrist, which seemed to be an ornament, suddenly burst out with dazzling light!

A dark red light instantly spread throughout his body.

"Block it for me!" Black Scale frantically poured divine power into his armor, crossed his arms to block, and the blood-red runes on the armor's arm guards flashed wildly, condensing into a thick blood shield.

"Boom!"

A hazy blue light emanated from the blood shield, unleashing a deafening roar ten times more intense than before!

"Pfft!" Even with the protection of the top-tier mechanical treasure, Black Scale was still shocked by the hazy blue light, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood that shimmered with golden light.

"Bravo! Sect Master is mighty!"

"Kill him! Avenge the elders!"

On the city wall, thunderous cheers and roars erupted, and countless Qinglan Sect disciples were moved to tears.

This is their Qinglan Sect Master.

"Oh?" Black Fiend Marquis, who had been hiding behind layers of void and spying on the battlefield, let out a low murmur with an ambiguous meaning.

"Once this Cloud Cliff becomes my son's whetstone, it must not be left to live!" Black Fiend Marquis's killing intent quietly rose.

With such foresight, Heisha Hou noticed that Yun Ya's moves already showed a tendency to unify many Chaos Realm techniques.

If Yunya hadn't died, after this battle, over countless years, the Qinglan Sect would likely have given birth to another Chaos Ruler.

Outside the battlefield, some are happy while others are sad.

On the battlefield, the grief and indignation in his heart made Yunya's fighting spirit boil.

He moved with lightning speed, raising his longsword once more, sending hazy blue light towards the black scales.

On the other side, Black Scale, though injured and at a disadvantage, had an even more frenzied flame burning in his eyes.

Isn't this sense of oppression the very opportunity he's been desperately seeking to break through the final barrier?

Within him, the "Void Fruit" obtained from his father was fully activated under the stimulus of life and death. His accelerated thinking caused his accumulated knowledge and insights from countless years to collide, recombine, and sublimate wildly in his consciousness like a tsunami!

"The accumulation of endless years, the opportunities bestowed by my father, and the life-and-death struggles with powerful enemies." Black Scale's soul roared.

"If even this cannot take that step, allow the bloodline to undergo its ultimate transformation, and achieve the Chaos Realm, then..."

"Then I, Black Scale, will be trapped at the level of Eternal True God for the rest of my life."

"In this vast and boundless continent of origin, to forever remain a slightly larger ant, constantly vulnerable to being crushed by a stronger being!"

He is not willing!

He was the son of the Black Fiend Marquis and a disciple of the ruler of the Ink Kingdom, and was highly regarded and enjoyed abundant resources.

He didn't want to be just a genius whose potential had been exhausted, he didn't want to live forever in his father's shadow, and he didn't want to become insignificant cannon fodder in the struggles of those truly great people!

"I will break through! I will make a name for myself in the origin!"

"I want to be like my father, someone respected by an entire nation!"

Black Scales roared wildly, and countless blood-red energy threads surged out, continuously weaving according to some ancient pattern!

"roar--!!!"

The black-scaled divine body began to undergo terrifying mutations, with its bones proliferating and reorganizing.

In the blink of an eye, Black Scale had transformed from an "eternal true god in human form" into a ferocious behemoth with a head hundreds of millions of kilometers long, a body covered in thick bone armor, and three pairs of sky-covering, sun-obscuring energy wings.

Furthermore, its size continues to increase as it undergoes its own miniature universe transformation, and its aura continues to rise!

"My bloodline has finally transformed." The giant beast's vertical pupils locked onto the cloud cliffs below.

"Yunya, my bloodline has undergone a transformation; I have mastered the complete laws of chaos."

"With my bloodline talent—the Annihilation Dragon Form—even though I've just broken through to the Chaos Realm, I'm still strong enough to suppress you."

With a thought, the three pairs of giant wings gently flapped, instantly shattering the hazy blue light cast by Yun Ya.

Having mastered the complete laws of chaos, coupled with the talent brought by his bloodline, he was able to overpower his opponents who had previously given him a hard time as soon as he broke through.

"Huh?!" In the void, Black Fiend Marquis's expression suddenly changed. "Lin'er, he broke through?!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

"I purchased a Void Fruit from the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng" and bestowed it upon my son. With the help of the Void Fruit's "thirty-fold acceleration of thought," under the pressure of life and death, he finally comprehended the Laws of Chaos!

The Void Fruit, originating from rare treasures of the Mongol continent, can temporarily and significantly enhance a cultivator's thinking and comprehension, and has a remarkable effect on breaking through bottlenecks; it is priceless.

Because of Little Demon God Black Scale's outstanding talent, Black Demon Marquis concentrated many resources from Black Demon Chaos Continent on his art, and even paid a huge price to ask the King of Qu Mo to help him purchase a Void Fruit.

And all of this has finally come to fruition.

"How can two Chaos Realm experts be born simultaneously in a single battle?" Black Fiend Marquis's voice suddenly rang out in the sky above the battlefield.

"For every breakthrough, someone else must be annihilated!"

To avoid any accidents, Black Fiend Marquis did not wait any longer. The Destructive Claw hidden in the void, carrying an aura of destruction, suddenly tore through space and slammed down on Cloud Cliff, who was already at a complete disadvantage.

"You may go in peace!"

"Black Scales!"

"????"
