Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 260 The Great Dao of Destruction Pays Off

"Eat in the capital city."

A figure formed from soft white light, whose features were indistinct, appeared out of thin air above the capital of the Food Kingdom.

He gazed indifferently at the massive city below.

In an instant, the entire capital city, along with its billions of living beings, seemed to be frozen in time, everything falling into absolute stillness.

The light dimmed, the sound vanished, and even the slightest flow of energy froze.

In the entire world, only in the area where he lived, time continued to flow.

The white-clad figure took a step and arrived at the main hall where the tragedy had occurred.

Inside the hall, time seemed to rewind to the moment before the incident.

The Heavenly Kun Kingdom's ruler sat in the main seat, while the other five Divine Kings sat on either side, chatting and laughing, exchanging toasts and drinks.

The Chaos Realm attendant, carrying a crystal bottle, had just entered the hall.

"Um?"

The white-light figure watched this scene, a thought stirring within him.

Behind him, a vast, slowly flowing "quicksand" phantom, composed of countless tiny grains of sand, faintly appeared, radiating an unfathomable rhythm of time.

As the illusory image of quicksand appeared, the stagnant scene around them came to life and began to unfold at a normal pace.

The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord reached out and grabbed the crystal bottle containing the "blood food"—just as his fingertips were about to touch the bottle!

The Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord on the main seat, and the five God Kings below, suddenly lost their light, their expressions froze, and their life force returned to death.

The scene freezes again.

"Instant annihilation, utterly powerless to resist, not even a trace of struggle." The white-light figure carefully observed this frozen moment from the past.

"Judging from this situation, Tiankun probably won't have time to activate the reincarnation technique."

Is it the crushing power of willpower secrets?

Or is it some kind of terrifying attack targeting the very essence of the soul?

"The supreme rules of the Origin Continent constrain the upper limit of all power. Whether it is matter, energy, causality, or will—their power exertion has a theoretical limit." The white-light figure fell into thought.

"To be able to achieve this level, to annihilate the souls and wills of six second-level God-Kings with a single strike, leaving them no time to even reincarnate—"

"This level of power has already exceeded the limits allowed by the rules. Throughout the entire Origin Continent, no more than ten people can achieve this."

He knew something about the King of Tiankun Kingdom.

Although he is domineering and ruthless towards the surrounding forces, he has always been very measured and never provokes or offends those truly terrifying beings who stand at the pinnacle.

Who would do such a cruel thing?

Moreover, he killed six of them in one go!

"Was it a powerful expert invited by Yu Shui?" The white-light figure also saw the scene of Tian Kun and others plotting to force Yu Shui to retreat through the time rewind.

This seems to be the most direct motivation.

"But can Yu Shui really get a powerhouse of this level to come?" He was somewhat skeptical.

Once you reach that level, how easy is it to owe favors?

As my thoughts wandered, time continued its replay.

The figure in white light saw that the corpses of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord and others, along with the corpses of their attendants, the crystal bottle, and the countless creatures inside, vanished instantly after an invisible wave swept over them, as if swallowed by the void.

"When he uses his methods, his physical body or will must be nearby!" The white-light figure's gaze sharpened, and his figure instantly appeared above the capital.

He then activated the spacetime treasure bestowed by the ancestor with all his might, and the huge sand phantom behind him rapidly expanded, shining brightly, and almost instantly enveloped the entire capital and its vast surrounding area.

hum!

Under the shroud of shifting sands, the dust of time was swept away, and an extremely blurry, almost transparent outline of a shadowy figure faintly appeared at a certain location within the time frame of the incident.

However, that's all.

No matter how much the white-light figure activated the secret treasure and poured in divine power, the phantom remained blurry, as if viewed through countless layers of frosted glass, making it impossible to discern even the most basic features such as its shape and aura!

Not to mention tracing its origins and whereabouts.

"I have achieved the ultimate life form on the Great Dao of Time Origin, in conjunction with the Sand of Time Reversal bestowed by the Ancestor."

"You can't even see the slightest trace of his past?" The white-light figure was shocked and decisively stopped urging, and the huge quicksand phantom quickly dissipated.

He stood in the void, silent for a moment.

"Has he comprehended the complete Dao, or has he acquired some powerful secret treasure?"

The figure in white light pondered in his heart.

On the Origin Continent, whether one comprehends a complete Great Dao or wields a powerful secret treasure, one can effectively resist the prying eyes of will and obscure the traces of time and cause and effect.

This is a standard tactic used by top-tier experts.

"If it were merely a powerful secret treasure, that would be one thing," the white-robed figure said, his gaze darkening slightly. "But if he comprehends the complete Great Dao on his own, then he would be the third God-King of this era to reach the ultimate realm, following in the footsteps of Emperor Qing and the Lord of Myriad Realms."

The white-light figure gently shook its head.

I'm jealous!

Since the two ancient kingdoms established the rules, the order of the entire continent of origin has been jointly maintained by the two ancient kingdoms.

Any factor that might threaten the stability of this "order" will attract their close attention and investigation.

Previously, their main focus was on the three top alien powerhouses hidden in the shadows, as well as a few others such as the "Empress of Fengdu" and the "Lord of the Mother River".

The mysterious powerhouse who recently stormed the Dream Realm and displayed extraordinary willpower and methods has also been included in the list.

In the ancient kingdom of Yanfeng, there is a hidden palace.

Di Xuan's figure materialized here, revealing all the findings of his investigation.

"Emperor, I have investigated with all my might, but I can only see an extremely blurry outline, and I cannot even distinguish between male and female figures." Emperor Xuan's tone was solemn. "There is an extremely powerful force that has blocked the view of time and cause and effect."

Di Fu carefully observed the almost transparent, blurry phantom that Di Xuan presented, his brows furrowing slightly.

Di Xuan continued, "In your opinion, is this person the same one who forcibly broke into the Dream Realm entrance and stunned the God King guarding my ancient kingdom with his will?"

"Probably," Difu said slowly.

"He can easily stun a second-level God King with a shockwave of will. If he goes all out and launches a devastating attack with his secret will technique, he could indeed kill the six people, including the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom, in an instant."

"I wonder which corner this monster came from. It possesses a will that surpasses the limits of a God-King, and is protected by what appears to be a complete Great Dao or a powerful secret treasure." Di Xuan shook his head.

"Its overall strength is probably comparable to that of the Emperor Ming."

If the many emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom were to fight Emperor Ming one-on-one in a closed space, seven out of ten emperors would probably perish!

If it were the monarchs of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom who possessed the Hunyuan bloodline...

The result would be certain death!

The appearance of a mysterious and powerful figure who may pose a threat at the level of an "Emperor Ming" is by no means a good omen for the order of the entire Origin Continent.

A brief silence fell over the hall.

Both emperors were processing this unsettling information and considering their next steps.

Thunderous Ancient Kingdom.

The mountain dweller, who had returned to the realm of the God King and was diligently cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline, suddenly trembled slightly.

A familiar voice, transmitted through causal link, resounded directly in his consciousness: "Teacher Zuoshanke! Teacher Huyanbo, he's so strong!"

"The Food Kingdom's ruler, Tian Kun, along with the five second-level Divine Kings he invited, were all killed by our teacher!"

"Yes, yes!" The mountain dweller's chest heaved violently several times before he barely managed to suppress the long howl that was about to burst out.

An ancient god-king was now unable to control his emotions.

My revenge has been achieved!

The king of the Food Kingdom, Tiankun, was the culprit with whom he shared an irreconcilable blood feud, the one who caused the destruction of his kingdom and forced him to reincarnate in the primordial universe to rebuild his life—

He died just like that? He was beheaded by Huyan Bo?

No, it wasn't just Tiankun. He and the five other powerful figures of the same level he had invited were also killed!

What power and might!

Back in the primordial universe, he knew that Huyanbo was exceptionally talented and had extraordinary opportunities, and even speculated that he might have some connection with the will of the primordial universe.

But now it seems how ridiculous and narrow-minded my initial guess was!

The embodiment of the primordial cosmic will?

That's not right!

This is completely unworthy of Hu Yanbo's past achievements and the brilliance he has displayed today!

It has only been a little over 120 centuries since it transcended the primordial universe and ascended to this vast continent of origin.

For the God-King, this was nothing more than a fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, Hu Yanbo had already acquired the terrifying strength to effortlessly kill a regional overlord like the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom!

Even the world beast king, who is known as the "incarnation of the Great Dao" and grows extremely fast, could never reach such a height in such a short time!

"Teacher," Luo Feng's voice rang out again, filled with heartfelt joy, "Our great revenge has been achieved! Your disciple should have a drink with you!"

After navigating the cycle of reincarnation, Luo Feng had already understood the original intention of the Mountain Hermit in nurturing him.

This hatred also weighed heavily on his heart.

Even though he now possesses the strength to transcend the Chaos Realm, Luo Feng knows that if he were to rely on his own strength to kill an existence like the Lord of the Heavenly Kun Kingdom, he still has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear.

But—Teacher Zuoshanke said that Teacher Huyanbo is a better option than himself!

"In the span of a hundred years, my teacher can easily slay the overlord." Luo Feng sighed inwardly, and then an even stronger fighting spirit surged up.

"I am improving, and so are the teachers."

"I need to work even harder to catch up with the teacher."

"At least break through to the God King realm, so that I can once again be on the same level as Teacher Huyanbo."

I don't seek to catch up, I only seek to reach the same level once again.

This is Luo Feng's small goal.

On the other end of the causal transmission, the mountain dweller slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only a calm and serene expression remained.

He raised the wine cup that had appeared out of nowhere and silently toasted the empty space.

This cup is a toast to the annihilation of enemies and the resolution of karma.

Even more revered is that person who rose from humble beginnings, yet now shines like the sun upon the continent of origin—our old friend.

Snowy borders.

This is a land shrouded in eternal winter, where endless snowflakes fall from the sky, turning into babbling brooks that flow into countless rivers that span the entire territory.

Rivers, snowflakes, and even the chill of this land itself—together constitute the vast and unique life form of the "Snow World Ancestor".

A figure in black robes descended silently onto this icy, snowy land.

The moment he appeared, the ceaseless snowfall in the sky abruptly stopped.

The thousands of rivers flowing on the ground froze instantly.

The biting cold that permeated the entire territory dissipated like the receding tide.

This territory has lost its soul, revealing its true nature as desolate and lifeless.

The progenitor of the Snow Realm has perished.

The figure in black robes took a step and disappeared.

Tiankong Kingdom is one of the many small countries sandwiched between the Thunder Kingdom and the Myriad Realms Kingdom.

Its ruler, the "Heavenly Kong God King," possesses the strength of a second-level God King. Although slightly inferior to the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord, he is still a scourge to the region.

In the country he ruled, hundreds of millions of lives were regarded as his "food" reserves.

At this moment, the enormous shell of the Heavenly Kong God King, nestled deep within the palace, was slightly writhing: "I can only consume one-tenth of the offerings each time; the rest must be obediently offered to the monarch—if I can enjoy them to my heart's content, my strength will surely increase even further!"

The thought hadn't fully formed yet—

The figure in black robes appeared at the deepest part of the palace, standing before his enormous head.

The Heavenly Kong God King didn't even have time to see who it was, nor did he have time to feel any vigilance or fear.

That terrifying will, beyond his comprehension, was like an invisible millstone, instantly crushing his entire mind.

Consciousness is reduced to eternal darkness.

Huyan Bo waved his hand, putting away the lifeless, enormous corpse of the Heavenly Kong God King as if brushing away a speck of dust.

"The progenitor of the Snow Realm, the Heavenly Kong God King—" Hu Yanbo sensed the "repayment progress" of the advance payment for the "Great Dao of Destruction: Heaven-Splitting Branch" in his consciousness.

"The two heinous sinners have repaid about half of their debts."

"This is still largely thanks to the contribution of the Heavenly Kong God King."

"The Snow Realm Ancestor hasn't even contributed a quarter of the progress." Hu Yanbo assessed the efficiency, his gaze sweeping over other areas of the Origin Continent, those locations where thick blood scum was entangled in his causal perception.

"I truly hope there are enough of these great sinners on the Origin Continent to satisfy my cravings."

The desolate sea, the giant island in the center.

This vast island governs thirty-nine Chaos Continents, with expansive territory and abundant life.

Because of its proximity to the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, its superior geographical location, and the convenience of resource transfer, the number of creatures nurtured on the entire island is almost half that of the eighty-nine Chaos Continents of the "Yu Kingdom".

The absolute master of all this is the ancient "Lord of the Desolate Winds," whose strength has reached the second level of the God-King realm.

He was also one of the nominal guest ministers of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Under its absolute power and rule, the fate of countless creatures on the island rests entirely in its hands.

Deep within the lord's palace at the heart of the island lies a luxurious, secluded room filled with forbidden restrictions.

Hu Yanbo's figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

In the center of the quiet room, Huyan Bo calmly waved his hand, putting away the body of the ancient lord.

Thus, in a very short period of time, three God-Kings who ranked in the top ten of the Origin Continent's "List of Sins," and whose strength was relatively low, had all died one after another, all falling at the hands of the same mysterious powerhouse, their deaths remarkably similar:

When the news spread, some were happy and some were sad.

Many were delighted.

Upon hearing this, Empress Fengdu smiled faintly and raised her cup in a distant toast.

Inside the Reincarnation Pavilion, several members exchanged thoughts, their tone playful: "Well done, clean and efficient."

Many righteous individuals among the independent cultivators, though unaware of the killer's identity, secretly rejoiced, viewing this as the cycle of karma.

The sorrow spread even more rapidly.

Those who were at the top of the "list of sins" or whose style of doing things was similar felt a chill to the bone.

Tiankun, Tiankong, and Qifeng—aren't they all veteran second-level cultivators who dominate their respective regions and possess numerous life-saving methods?

They were harvested by the same person like mowing grass in a very short period of time, without even a chance to be reincarnated!

Can they escape?
