Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 273 A Hundred Years of Cultivation

"Truly worthy of the Primordial Chaos Body."

"It instantly gave me a much deeper understanding of how to utilize the fundamental principles of time!"

Hu Yanbo's journey has been entirely reliant on the advance system, allowing him to directly access his insights into the Great Dao and its secret techniques.

Even with a new understanding of the origin of time, combined with the three major branches, it will still take a considerable amount of time to deduce the secret technique of the second level of the God King realm of the Great Dao of Time.

But at this moment, it has been greatly reduced.

Hu Yanbo focused his mind, no longer thinking about the secret method, but instead concentrating on comprehending the mystery of the Hunyuan Body—the power of Hunyuan flowed within his divine body, invisibly guiding his consciousness, allowing him to have a tactile sensation that resonated with the supreme rules of the Origin World without having to deliberately activate it.

If he were to fight the Thunder Ancestor now, the mere fact that this resonates with the supreme rules would raise his own power ceiling. With increased power, even the most exquisite techniques would pale in comparison.

With his mind calming down, his consciousness, which was being enveloped by the power of chaos, stirred slightly again and instantly connected with that mysterious place. That place was the original place that the supreme rules of the source world had bestowed upon him and brought him down when he broke through to the God King realm.

At this moment, Hu Yanbo's consciousness descended upon it once again.

Look toward the nine fundamental paths that make up the supreme rules.

Aside from the five Great Daos under his own control, he was also moved by the other four Daos: Boundless, Extreme Point, and World.

My affinity for these four paths is almost the same as my affinity for the Great Dao of Life.

As for the affinity between the paths of life and destruction—Hu Yanbo looked toward the Great Dao of Destruction.

The Destruction of the Origin Dao: At first glance, the dark red energy surges and seems to devour everything around it;

Upon closer inspection, the true form of the Beast of the Realm was revealed, pure and spotless, without a trace of destructive ferocity;

In a daze, it transformed into a huge black eye, staring straight into the depths of consciousness.

Suddenly, the secret runes of the six branches of the Great Dao of Destruction intertwined in his consciousness, and the prototype of the second level of the God King Realm secret technique emerged.

"Entering this primordial land, the experience of comprehending the Great Dao is completely different from that in the outside world."

"His speed of comprehension is much faster than that of the outside world," Hu Yanbo remarked.

More importantly, this primordial world of origin does not reject him at all.

Unlike the last time when I broke through to God King, I could only stay here briefly; now my consciousness can remain here permanently.

This is probably why one needs to comprehend the five branches of the Great Dao before exchanging for the Heart of Chaos.

Only in this way can consciousness merge with this primordial land, rather than be incompatible.

If not for the blessing of the Primordial Chaos Body, even if one were to arrive at this place by other means, it would be difficult for their consciousness to achieve such a harmonious and integrated state.

Of course, this harmonious integration is still far from the "core cause and effect path" of visualizing the pre-projection panel in one's mind.

"That's enough. With this level of compatibility, I need to repay my debt of the second level of the Great Dao Realm."

"It's probably much simpler than I thought!"

Hu Yanbo's mind raced, and the pre-planning panel in his mind suddenly lit up. As the light flowed, lines of text clearly appeared.

[Advance payment for the project: Peak of the second level of the Divine King Realm on the Great Dao of Life.]

Repayment conditions (completing any one of them is sufficient)

[1. A secret technique for creating the ultimate realm of the Great Dao of Life, the God-King level.]

[2. The Great Dao of Seclusion, Hundred Years.]

[3. Comprehend the fundamental principles of life over millennia.]

"You guessed wrong?"

Looking at the words on the panel, Hu Yanbo's face showed surprise—he had guessed wrong.

Unexpectedly, even with the Hunyuan Body and complete control over the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, the repayment conditions for the peak of the second level of the God King Realm of the Great Dao of Life were still much more difficult than he had anticipated.

"this....

""

In fact, only Hu Yanbo felt this way.

Taking Luo Feng as an example, even with his talent and affinity for the Dao of Life, it still took him hundreds of epochs to push the Dao of Life to the peak of the second level of the God King realm.

Although Hu Yanbo was blessed with the Hunyuan Body, which accelerated his comprehension of the Great Dao of Life's origin, his affinity for the Great Dao of Life was still not as high as Luo Feng's.

However, the time that Hu Yanbo spent repaying was the time he repaid the will of the God Emperor.

After that, there were no more practitioners who practiced for more than ten centuries.

Therefore, Hu Yanbo was still surprised to see that he had cultivated for at least a hundred years.

As for the first condition, creating an ultimate realm secret technique requires integrating the complete Great Dao, which is vastly different in difficulty from creating a second-level secret technique.

Even the primordial chaos is not omnipotent.

Otherwise, by traveling through various source worlds with his Hunyuan body, he could create multiple ultimate secret techniques of the Great Dao he had learned, and thus more easily comprehend new Great Daos to enhance his own Hunyuan rule operation Great Dao.

Therefore, this secret method for creating the ultimate realm must be at least a hundred centuries old.

"Speaking of which, my purpose in cultivating to the second level of the Origin Great Dao was to meet the conditions for becoming the Lord of the Origin World!"

"The conditions for becoming the Lord of the Source World didn't specify whether one had to be at the peak of the God-King Second Realm or just entering it!"

Hu Yanbo's mind raced, and just in case, he even ventured into the Infinite Space Treasury to retrieve the reminders from the Heart of Chaos and check them.

The heart of Hunyuan.

need:...

Reminder: Once you have mastered more than half of the Great Daos within the Supreme Rules, and each Great Dao has reached at least the second level of the God King Realm, you will have the potential to control the Supreme Rules and become the Lord of the Origin World!

"In that case..."

Hu Yanbo's thoughts shifted again, and the pre-planning panel in his mind lit up once more.

[Pre-funded project: The fusion of two major branches of the Path to the Origin of Life.]

Repayment conditions (completing any one of them is sufficient)

[1. The Great Dao of Seclusion, Ten Eras.]

[2. Comprehend the fundamental principles of life over a hundred centuries.]

"Just as I thought."

"The second level of the God King realm includes those who are almost fully integrated with all branches, as well as those who have just integrated them."

"Then naturally I'll choose the simpler one!" Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

"Pre-payment, the fusion of two major branches of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light suddenly appeared in his mind. One beam glowed with a faint white light and was a secret pattern of the spiritual branch of life. The pattern was delicate and full of vitality as it flowed.

The other one, a thick, earthy yellow, is a secret pattern of a branch of the life form, with rough lines that wrap around the power of the body's origin.

The two secret patterns moved closer to each other uncontrollably. As soon as they made contact, they attracted each other like magnets, quickly entwining and intertwining.

The luminous white secret pattern seeped into the gaps of the earthy yellow secret pattern, while the earthy yellow secret pattern enveloped the luminous white secret pattern. The two no longer separated, and following the trajectory of the flow of divine thoughts, they eventually transformed into a composite secret pattern that combined luminous white and earthy yellow, slowly rotating in the mind.

At the same time, a warm yet powerful force instantly flowed into his entire divine body.

Hu Yanbo's body trembled slightly, his consciousness focused on his physical body, and he clearly sensed that every inch of divine power was being nourished and strengthened.

"If all five Great Daos reach the second level, and I also borrow the complete Dao of Cause and Effect, my strength will be even stronger than some mid-stage God Emperors," Hu Yanbo speculated.

"However, once you've cultivated five Great Daos, I doubt anyone will venture into the Holy Realm."

"Therefore, the other Great Daos will also be repaid using this method." Hu Yanbo withdrew his thoughts, stopped thinking about it, and quickly decided on his next steps.

"Among the five great Daos, the spatial Dao has the lowest affinity. Even so, within a hundred epochs, all five great Daos should be able to reach the second level of the God King realm."

While Hu Yanbo was in seclusion again, deep within the Dream Realm, in that distorted area where even light seemed hesitant, several figures were facing off across the shattered land.

On one side was Emperor Yan, whose body was wreathed in eternal flames and whose aura was violent, and two emperors with equally overwhelming power.

They each wielded a divine treasure of a different shape, yet all emanated a power that caused spacetime to tremble and tremble.

On the other side, there was only one person.

Black clothes, Blood Shadow Blade.

Luo Feng.

Without warning, Di Yan made a move.

He thrust the halberd forward, and the temperature of the entire shattered land of the dream realm suddenly soared to a level sufficient to instantly vaporize an ordinary god-king.

A thick, almost tangible, dark red line of fire tore through the void and pierced straight at Luo Feng.

The other two emperors made their moves almost simultaneously.

A gray light severed cause and effect, and a pitch-black chain shot out from the shadow beneath Luo Feng's feet, coiling around him.

Faced with this combined attack, which was powerful enough to capture any expert at the second level of the God King realm instantly, Luo Feng merely raised his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, a vast, pure, and incredibly condensed will, like an invisible barrier, burst forth from his center.

The gray light cut three feet in front of him and melted away on its own, like ice and snow meeting the sun.

The ripples of the soul collided with that barrier of will, and subsided completely without even causing a ripple.

The black chains snapped and vanished the moment they touched the soles of his boots.

Only the dark red line of fire from Emperor Yan pierced an inch in front of his eyes.

Luo Feng then raised his sword.

The blade's light was not dazzling; in fact, it was rather dim.

It's just a simple swipe forward.

"clang--!"

The tip of the Blood Shadow Blade struck the most solid point on the line of fire with unparalleled precision.

The fire line trembled violently, and the wisp of primordial will belonging to Emperor Flame flowing within it was as if it had been struck hard by something even harder. The fire line's attack stopped abruptly and then shattered inch by inch.

Di Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and his grip on the halberd tightened involuntarily.

"The will of the God Emperor—" Di Yan exclaimed in disbelief.

"You're only at the God-King Realm, how could that be—"

"A lucky breakthrough." Luo Feng sheathed his sword, his tone calm. "Shall we continue?"

He didn't attack; he just stood there.

However, the invisible will that enveloped the surroundings had already made the other three emperors feel that their divine bodies were sluggish and the operation of the Great Dao was obscure.

Fortunately, they possessed the complete set of the God Emperor's secret treasures.

Otherwise, if the will of the God Emperor were to strike them, those who cultivate the Primordial Bloodline would all go insane because they could not suppress their bloodline.

Di Yan, Di Wu, and Di tide's expressions changed several times.

If the fight continues!

Will it win?

meeting!

Because Luo He in front of us is not as strong as Gui Xu or Wu Xin.

Even with the suppression of the God Emperor's will, they are still three Emperors. If they join forces, Luo Feng will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

But then?

What's the point of winning?

He was that person's disciple.

They are not the same as the descendants of their ancestors who grew up under the protection of the ancient kingdom.

Kill him?

Hurt him?

The price was something Di Yan dared not even imagine.

"Walk."

After a moment's thought, Di Yan reluctantly squeezed out a single word, turned around first, stepped into the distorted void, and disappeared.

Emperors Di Wu and Di tide gave Luo Feng a deep look before leaving.

The broken landmasses floated silently beneath Luo Feng's feet. A moment later, three figures appeared beside him.

It was none other than the Emperor Guixu, the God King Wuxin, and the God King Yuntian.

The three of them stood still, but their eyes were all on Luo Feng, and no one spoke for a moment.

Emperor Guixu looked at Luo Feng, his lips moved, but in the end he only uttered two words: "Thank you."

"Just now, I was greedy. If I had followed Wu Xin's original plan and taken the treasure, I could have escaped safely."

"It was because I couldn't resist the urge to hunt down the lone God-King of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom that I did it—" Emperor Guixu shook his head.

The God-King Wu Xin sighed, "Gui Xu, it's pointless to talk about this now. If it weren't for Luo He..."

"I'm afraid that apart from me, the two of you will have to stay here." With that, the God King Wuxin turned to Luo Feng, his gaze extremely complicated.

"God Emperor's Will, Luo He, you are just like your teacher Hu Yanbo, the more you understand, the more astonishing you become."

"We are all members of the Samsara Tower, so it's only right that we look after each other."

As Luo Feng spoke, he paused briefly, seemingly sensing the newly generated, vast power of will within his body. Then, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Di Yan had left: "Return to the Void."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will help you kill that Emperor Yan."

The news spread like wildfire across the wasteland, instantly engulfing the upper reaches of the Origin Continent.

"Luo Feng, that disciple of Huyan Bo?"

"God-King Realm, God-Emperor's Will!!"

"How long has he been cultivating? Counting from the time he became a Void True God, it's been less than two hundred epochs, hasn't it?"

"One sect, two monsters—"

Amid the discussions, there was amazement, apprehension, bitterness, and an indescribable burning passion.

Easternmost Region, Wind Capital.

Empress Fengdu put down the intelligence report in her hand and looked up at the figure in the hall.

The primordial being stood there quietly, his aura seemingly ethereal, blurring the line between reality and illusion around him.

Even with the discerning eyes of the Queen of Fengdu, it would take her a moment to confirm whether the person standing there was the real Queen or that increasingly wondrous ethereal form.

"My disciple, is your fellow townsman planning to follow in his teacher's footsteps and stir up another wave of excitement on the Origin Continent?"

"When are you planning to go to the back and join the fun, to show off a bit?"

"Junior Brother Luo Feng's talent is second only to his teacher," Yuan Zu said calmly, without any apparent emotion.

"This performance is to be expected."

"As for me!"

"Rather than striving for fame and fortune, I would rather travel between different chaotic continents and experience the illusion and reality."

"As for participating in the battles among the powerful on the Origin Continent, I will make plans after I break through to the God King level and reincarnate to complete my divine body."

As Yuanzu spoke, his gaze seemed to pierce through the palace, looking towards the direction where Huyanbo was in seclusion, and also as if looking towards his own more distant future.

Meanwhile, outside the center of countless discussions, in a quiet cultivation cave in Dongdu.

The founder of the giant axe was shirtless, his muscles bulging.

A phantom giant axe floated before him, its light and shadow striking heavily time and again.

He has now mastered the twelfth-order secret technique, but he is still far from becoming an Eternal True God.

The Giant Axe Founder stopped what he was doing, panting heavily, and looked at the cave wall.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers, revealing the vast world outside, where eternal true gods were everywhere and chaotic rulers were not uncommon.

In his ears, he seemed to faintly hear the discussions about Luo Feng and the original ancestor from the outside world.

The giant axe clenched his fist and raised the illusory axe once more.

News of the battle in the Dream Realm also transformed into an invisible ripple, entering Hu Yanbo's secluded meditation chamber. It touched the edge of his vast mind and then returned to calm.

His mind was currently immersed in repaying the debt of the second level of the Divine King Realm of the Origin of Space.

For him, and for this continent, a hundred years of time were nothing more than the ebb and flow of his insights into the Great Dao.
