Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 232 Transcendence of the Chaotic Realm

A sound rang out, a scream filled with boundless terror, suddenly erupting from the mouth of the black-scaled creature, which had just completed its breakthrough and was brimming with power: "Causality?!"

Black Fiend Marquis's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints!

With his top-tier cultivation and vision in the Chaos Realm, he could see it clearly.

The moment that unfamiliar voice fell, the karma within his beloved son, who had just broken through to the next level, was constantly being stirred!

None of the nine fundamental paths of the Origin World is absolutely superior.

However, as a Chaos Realm expert, Heisha Hou mainly cultivated destruction. Although he was not good at the various profound applications of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, how could he not know its existence and power?

"Who is it?!" Black Fiend Marquis was filled with shock and anger.

Although he did not cultivate this path, he knew that a powerful figure was using the power of cause and effect to carry out a remote kill, and the timing was extremely ruthless!

"Boom!!!"

The causal relationships within Black Scale were constantly being stirred.

The Chaos Realm, which had not yet been stabilized, was violently backlashed by the boiling, powerful bloodline from its "source."

Those opponents he had killed, devoured, and tormented; those races he had destroyed; those beings whose opportunities he had taken away.

Their dying resentments and curses were also stirred up at this moment!

Even his obsession with victory and crushing Yunya turned into karmic fire that backfired on him!

The "annihilation dragon form" that stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers resembled fireworks ignited from within.

Black Fiend Marquis could only watch as his son exploded completely from the inside out!

Divine power and soul utterly annihilated!

Almost at the same time—

The destructive demonic claw that Heisha Hou was about to strike Yunya was blocked by a black-robed figure that appeared in front of Yunya.

The black-robed figure spread his five fingers and gently pressed them against the Destruction Claw.

The demonic claws then transformed into divine power and scattered away.

"Black Demon, your son, doesn't usually pay much attention to doing good deeds." Hu Yanbo said calmly.

With a flick of the finger, the "Causal Sword" severs life from afar!

What is a "calamity"?

The strong walk the world, seizing resources, vying for opportunities, killing rivals, forging enmities, and breaking oaths!

Wherever there is action, there will be setbacks, debts, and unresolved issues.

These stagnations, deficiencies, and knots are usually suppressed, concealed, and delayed by the overwhelming strength, abundant fortune, and unwavering will of the powerful, just like dormant volcanoes, which are the causes of calamity.

The seeds of disaster were sown deep, and they were bound to erupt eventually.

It could be at a critical moment when one is weak, seriously injured, or breaking through a realm, or when one is provoked by encountering a stronger opponent or using more bizarre methods.

Once it breaks out, it will be attacked from both inside and outside, and disaster will befall us. At best, our path will be blocked; at worst, we will die and perish.

The Karmic Calamity Sword does not simply slay the divine body and soul, but rather follows the countless entangled causal threads around the opponent, precisely finding those calamities that are temporarily suppressed but always exist, and then gently stabbing them to detonate them!

To bring it forward, or to amplify it, transforming it into an imminent calamity!

Black Scales are like that.

Of course, the most important thing is that Black Scale is a symbol of weakness in front of Huyan Bo!

"You deserve to die!!!"

Enraged, the moment Black Fiend Marquis stepped out of the void, countless divine powers surged wildly towards a jet-black spear in front of him.

Then the black spear was thrown straight at Hu Yanbo!

The movements are simple and direct, yet they embody the ultimate control of a top-tier Chaos Realm being over their own Great Dao and the application of power.

"Shoo-One"

The spear transformed into a straight, jet-black line that transcended spatial distance, instantly traversing the battlefield.

At the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, wielding the Great Dao of Destruction, his power, unleashed in fury, rivals that of the peak of the Chaos Realm.

Faced with this angry spear, Hu Yanbo remained calm. He simply raised his right hand again, facing the dark spear light that was now within arm's reach, and the Black Fiend Marquis himself behind it, whose aura was violent and whose killing intent was boiling.

With a simple tap, you can communicate remotely.

It's still "The Sword of Karma".

But this time, the sword intent was not only about cause and effect, but also contained some other kind of power.

The sword was drawn, yet it remained invisible.

But Hei Sha Hou saw something completely different!

He saw that the many calamities he had accumulated over the long years of cultivating the Great Dao of Destruction, killing countless people, and plundering all directions, which had been suppressed by his own strength but had always existed, were beginning to backfire under the opponent's finger.

"How could that be?"

"How could he die?"

This invisible sword intent did not directly attack his divine body, nor did it intercept his destructive spear.

But this very touch triggered an unprecedented alarm from Heisha Hou, whose almost instinctive sense of danger, honed over billions of years of cultivating the Great Dao of Destruction!

will die!

If this finger were to fall, and that invisible sword of calamity were to truly sever these locked causes and effects, I might very well follow in Lin'er's footsteps, or even die faster and more tragically!

"Where did this powerful expert come from?"

In the blink of an eye, all notions of avenging one's son, destroying a powerful enemy, or maintaining the dignity of a top-tier Chaos Realm expert were shattered by this death warning originating from the depths of one's soul!

"escape!"

Hei Sha Hou instantly decided to abandon his attack and his weapon. The secret runes around his body appeared wildly, transforming into an extreme beam of destructive light. He violently tore open the void behind him and fled for his life without looking back, heading away from Qinglan Continent and away from Hu Yanbo!

"call out--!"

The black annihilation spear, which contained terrifying destructive power, lost its power and locking ability due to the loss of its master's perfect control with subsequent divine power.

Although it was still aimed at Huyan Bo, its trajectory and power had already shown slight deviations and dissipation.

Huyanbo didn't even glance at the spear; with a slight thought, he let the spear pierce the divine body.

"clang!"

A slightly muffled impact sound.

The black spear pierced Huyanbo's divine body, stirring up violent ripples, but ultimately failed to break through. The remaining destructive Dao charm and divine power within it were quickly exhausted after several impacts.

The jet-black spear also lost its luster, let out a mournful cry, and transformed into a streak of black light, flying backward and embedding itself diagonally in the ground in the distance, its shaft still trembling slightly.

At this moment, Black Fiend Marquis's desperate escape light was about to disappear into the chaotic void at the edge of the Azure Mist Chaos Continent.

Hu Yanbo did not pursue, but simply watched the fleeing beam of destructive light in a panic.

"I want to see if a top-tier Chaos Realm cultivator has the strength to escape from a Chaos Realm Transcendence cultivator."

Before killing Black Scale, Hu Yanbo, relying on the powerful foundation of his perfect divine body and his newly created causal secret technique, was able to briefly contend with a being at the peak of the Chaos Realm, even though his understanding of the realm was still lacking.

By taking the opportunity to kill Heilin, Huyanbo was able to repay the "pre-borrowed Chaos Overlord Realm" from the system!

[Project Already Paid: Karmic Calamity Sword (Enhanced with Primal Chaos Power)]

Repayment conditions (completing any one of them is sufficient)

[1. Obtain one "Hunyuan Crystal"]

[2. Obtain 300 billion cosmic sands]

3. Becoming an apprentice of the Emperor

The transcendence of the Chaos Realm is achieved by cultivating certain inheritances with the help of "Hun Yuan Power" or "Hun Yuan Materials," thereby causing a qualitative change in one's own strength and becoming an existence with the characteristics of a God-King.

They have an overwhelming advantage when facing peak Chaos Realm opponents.

Not to mention the Black Fiend Marquis, a top-tier figure in the Chaos Realm.

"ah-!!!"

A sharp, short roar, filled with endless terror and resentment, faintly came from that direction.

Immediately, the fierce and tyrannical aura belonging to the Black Fiend Marquis vanished without a trace.

On the city wall, all the members of the Qinglan Sect stood frozen in place, their expressions frozen between ecstasy, shock, and disbelief.

The battlefield scenarios changed too quickly.

First, the son of that infamous top-tier Chaos Realm overlord, who had just broken through to the Chaos Realm, was gone!

Then the Black Fiend Marquis also disappeared?

Was he dead, or did he escape?

Only the black spear, stuck diagonally in the distance, silently testified that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Just as the deathly silence was about to dissipate, an inconspicuous figure in blue on the top of Qinglan City parted the crowd and slowly walked to the front of the city wall.

This was a young man dressed in a blue brocade robe, with an ordinary face and a peaceful aura, only at the level of an Eternal True God.

But when he appeared, the Qinglan Sect elders around him, who were still reeling from the disaster and filled with emotion, subconsciously restrained their emotions and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Greetings, Master."

"The curator."

The person who came was the owner of the "Yanfeng Guild Hall" branch in Qinglan City.

Yanfeng Guild Hall is a trade and intelligence organization established in many countries by Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, one of the two ancient kingdoms of the continent. It has a profound background and a superior status.

Its branches are spread all over the world. Even if there is a change of power or war in the area, as long as you don't get involved, Yanfeng Club can usually be safe and sound, and no one dares to provoke it easily.

Logically speaking, this museum owner would not need to, and would not, appear on the front lines of the city walls where the two forces were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

The Green-Clad Pavilion Master merely nodded slightly to the greetings from the surrounding elders. His gaze had already crossed the city wall, landing on the ravaged battlefield outside the city, and further away in the direction of the chaotic void where the Black Fiend Marquis's aura had vanished.

His seemingly calm eyes were now churning with intense emotions, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Black Fiend Marquis, was he killed? Or...?" the Green-Clad Pavilion Master muttered to himself.

He was able to oversee a major city in Chaos Continent, and his vision, knowledge, and intelligence network far surpassed those of ordinary Eternal Gods.

The brief exchange just now, especially the mysterious black-robed man's method of repelling the enemy with two fingers and killing him from a distance, contained a strange and domineering power of causal destiny that had exceeded his understanding of ordinary Chaos Realm experts.

"Who is this person? Their application of the Dao of Cause and Effect is terrifying!"

"With a flick of the finger, I can bring about destiny; to annihilate those of the same level is as easy as crushing ants—" The thoughts raced through the mind of the Green-Clad Pavilion Master. Countless pieces of information about known powerful figures flashed by, but none of them matched his description.

"Which reclusive old monster, who may have even faked his death and reincarnated, has quietly returned?"

However, one thing is certain: the great calamity for the Qinglan Sect has been completely averted.

Next, it was Hei Sha's turn to be troubled near Qinglan Continent.

Just as the Green Robe Pavilion Master's thoughts raced, Hu Yanbo's figure slowly descended from the sky, landing atop Qinglan City.

Hu Yanbo did not exude any imposing aura; in fact, he appeared somewhat overly calm.

But the moment his foot stepped onto the city bricks, the entire noisy, excited, and cheering city wall suddenly fell silent!

immediately-

"Welcome, senior!"

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my sect!"

Led by Sect Master Yunya, all the high-ranking members of the Qinglan Sect, even the extraordinary Qingyi Hall Master of the Yanfeng Guild, composed themselves, stepped forward, and solemnly bowed to Huyan Bo, their attitude equally respectful: "Di Xuancheng, Hall Master of the Qinglan Branch of the Yanfeng Guild, greets Senior."

"Your senior's divine power is truly awe-inspiring."

Hu Yanbo's gaze swept calmly over the crowd, lingering briefly on the hall master, Di Xuancheng.

"Di Xuancheng?"

"Are they disciples of Di Xuanyi?"

While Huyan Bo was still pondering, Sect Master Yunya, along with Tingzu, stepped forward and bowed deeply once more: "Junior Yunya, on behalf of the entire Qinglan Sect, expresses our deepest gratitude for Senior's life-saving grace!"

"We, the Qinglan Sect, will never forget your great kindness, senior!"

Yunya paused slightly before continuing, "Our two patriarchs of the Qinglan Sect are already on their way back with all their might, and have offered four hundred billion cosmic sands as a token of their appreciation."

Four hundred billion cosmic sands—this is already close to the limit that the Qinglan Sect can produce immediately.

Despite the fact that the Qinglan Sect occupies an entire continent and possesses two main cities and seventy-two smaller cities, it may seem like a small but powerful sect.

However, the operation of the sect, the training of disciples, the offering of elders, the maintenance of the grand formation, and the interaction with surrounding forces all require the consumption of massive amounts of resources.

Cosmic sand, as a hard currency and a cultivation resource for the elite ranks, generates stable tax revenue each era.

However, since Zong Cong is a Chaos Realm Ancestor, many Eternal True Gods and Void True God Elders and Disciples all need to use it for cultivation breakthroughs, exchanging treasures, healing injuries and saving their lives. In addition, with the necessary strategic reserves, the amount of True Resources that can be accumulated is actually not as exaggerated as outsiders imagine.

This expenditure of 40 billion in one go has already taken a toll on the sect's strength, but compared to the survival of the sect and the need to befriend a terrifying being in the Chaos Realm, this sacrifice is absolutely worthwhile.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo slowly replied, "Alright."

With just one word, the huge weight lifted from Yunya's and all the Qinglan Sect members' hearts, and their faces lit up with relief and ecstasy.

"Senior Xian!" Yunya bowed again.

"It was just a small favor," Hu Yanbo said.

"It is a pavilion." Hu Yanbo looked over the cloud cliff and towards the pavilion ancestor.

"You and I, born from the same pavilion at the beginning of the universe, can be considered to be destined."

"You have done a great service by raising these hundreds of billions of cosmic sands for me this time."

"So, do you plan to stay here at the Qinglan Sect to continue your secluded cultivation, or will you come with me to explore a wider world and witness the scenery of the Origin Continent's True Porcelain?"

Hu Yanbo did not reveal his relationship with Tingzu, but only indirectly informed certain people of his needs by saying that they came from the same Tingzu universe.

After all, the current tens of billions of cosmic sands are insufficient to complete the three hundred billion cosmic sands required for the pre-constitutional task, or even more so, to become an apprentice of the Emperor.

The moment Hu Yanbo finished speaking, the atmosphere on the city wall subtly changed.

The joy on the faces of the Qinglan Sect members, especially Sect Master Yunya and several core elders, instantly froze, replaced by barely concealed tension and worry.

They all turned to look at Tingzu, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Tingzu is not only the most dazzling genius of their Qinglan Sect in the past era, but also a figure whose willpower is almost saintly. His potential is limitless, and he is highly regarded by the two ancestors as the future pillar of the sect.

They are still closely connected with the terrifying being before them who could annihilate a top-tier enemy in the Chaos Realm with a flick of his finger.

If Ancestor Ting leaves, it will be a huge loss for the Qinglan Sect!
