Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 280 Refining

Previously, Hu Yanbo's future had tens of millions of possibilities, which were gradually reduced to a million. Xingmang thought this was a sign that the final path was about to be determined.

But ever since Huyanbo's future number stopped at one million, it has never moved again, neither increasing nor decreasing.

More importantly, of these millions of possible futures, none of them were the ones he comprehended through his understanding of the Primordial Chaos.

Even Xingmang had some doubts—had he guessed wrong?

He mistakenly believed that refining the essence of the mysterious land would help him break the deadlock.

Soon, Xingmang suppressed his doubts again.

"There's still not enough time."

"Only one cycle has passed. There is a million times time acceleration in Huyanbo's cave. All in all, it's only a million cycles."

"Perhaps, it encountered some obstacle during the refining process and got stuck."

At this moment, Hu Yanbo also contacted Yuan through the internal communication of the silver bracelet!

Before he could speak, Yuan's voice rang out: "Huyan Bo, are you encountering difficulties refining the mysterious place?"

Cave meat, Huyan Bo = a mysterious place for refining?

Yuan's voice rang out again: "Little guy, don't underestimate us old folks."

"We've seen many mysterious places, and even if yours is somewhat special, the fact that a mere child like you possesses it won't surprise us seven lords too much!"

"Speak freely, what difficulties did you encounter during the refining process?"

Hu Yanbo snapped out of his daze and quickly transmitted his voice, "No, it's not difficult at all! Thank you for your guidance, Senior Yuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disconnected the silver bracelet from communication.

Yuan raised an eyebrow: "This little guy, it broke down as soon as it connected?"

"I thought he was going to ask for help, but he only said thank you instead, which is strange."

"Let's go!" Before Yuan could finish thinking, the primordial power around Xingmang beside him had already begun to circulate, and fine ripples spread through the space around him.

"The wireless serpent has led the progenitors of the naturally formed chaotic life forms to gather together."

"Um"

Ok.

"Um!"

The other six lords echoed in unison.

Having rested for a hundred eons, their fatigue still lingered, but under the leadership of the Star Lord, they set off together, swiftly traversing vast distances of time and space to intercept the group of progenitors who were on the move.

As time and space seemed to shift, Yuan looked into the distance: "Huyan Bo must have had something to ask just now."

"I merely casually pointed out his opportunity, and he immediately expressed his gratitude and cut off the telepathic communication."

"Could it be that what I said happened to help him?"

"If this can truly help him, I hope he can break through as soon as possible and grow into a lord."

As the first progenitor of the cultivator faction, Yuan lived for far too long.

This realm of cultivators was built by his own efforts; every inch of land and every world cluster is imbued with his blood and sweat.

Over the years, the innate chaotic life forms have been pressing closer and closer, and the cultivators' territories have suffered repeated defeats. The fall of each world group is like a dull knife, repeatedly cutting into his heart.

He hoped, he hoped for a turning point!

I hope a new lord will appear!

I hope Huyanbo will be the new lord!

The original place, Huyanbo Cave.

The quiet room was deathly silent. Hu Yanbo sat cross-legged, the causal runes around his body stagnant and motionless. The causal path of the young man's outline in his sea of ​​consciousness was still stuck before the semi-primordial level, with an invisible barrier standing in his way.

Having cultivated for millions of years, he only knew how to observe with his will.

He attributed the failure to break down the barrier solely to a lack of mental fortitude, never considering another possibility.

"Refine the Mysterious Land."

Hu Yanbo's body stiffened.

From the very beginning of his cultivation, he relied on the pre-built panel to break through realms and attain enlightenment, and had long regarded this panel as part of his own origin.

He was completely one with the divine body and soul, and never had the slightest thought of refining himself.

But in that instant, this thought, like a knife, cleaved through the confusion.

If this panel is a kind of life core of a naturally primordial life form?

The Lords' Way of Hunyuan is that the Great Way resides within and manifests outwardly in form.

Just like the primordial rules of the universe, which are based on nine complete primordial great paths, the rules of operation are built.

The rules and operating system are external, while internally, they are supported by the principles of Hunyuan rules and operating principles.

Yuan Neng can form arrays with a wave of his hand, which can absorb damage, transfer damage, and perform combined attacks, among other incredible effects.

For example, Luo Feng's Hunyuan Shengmie Dao will manifest as the original system in the future.

To glimpse the essence of naturally occurring, primordial life forms—they need not comprehend profound mysteries, but can grow solely through their life core.

The life core is the origin, the weakness, and the source of potential.

This is exactly the same as his pre-drawn panel.

No need for arduous enlightenment; simply repay your debts, and you can advance step by step.

"If it's a life core, then I must pay the final price!"

"Leave no weaknesses, and let the life core return to nothingness."

"If it's a treasure, then I'll refine it, allowing my semi-primordial Dao to merge with the pre-funded panel, and step into the supreme realm!"

Hu Yanbo lowered his eyes in thought, but didn't stop: "Of course, it's also possible that neither of these guesses is correct!"

"But if you have a guess, you should try it."

Hu Yanbo's mental will emerged at the core of the pre-support panel.

The core area was empty and clear, without any extraneous energy, except for a figure with a secret pattern that was almost identical to him, which stood quietly in the center.

"Compared to many Primordial Ancestors whose origins cannot even be sensed, at least what is before me should be the origin."

The Hunyuan Space contains countless mysterious places.

Even those powerful beings who have reached the Primordial Realm and ventured into the mysterious land with great effort, eight or nine out of ten of them still couldn't find the origin!

Only when one's own cultivation path and supreme power are perfectly aligned with the origin of this mysterious place can one have the opportunity to find this core.

Hu Yanbo, however, did not need to do so. The Dao he possessed was a one-to-one replica of this pre-payment panel.

The source can be sensed with ease!

"I've been constantly observing it; I'm growing, and my very essence is growing!"

Hu Yanbo's mind slowly sat cross-legged, landing at the core of the pre-support panel, his gaze fixed intently on the human figure's secret pattern, watching the origin of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect flowing within it.

Without deliberately stimulating power or forcibly deduce, they simply watched quietly, and half a day passed by unnoticed.

Suddenly, Hu Yanbo felt a stirring in his heart and clearly sensed a longing—a longing deep within his own soul and will for refining the source.

It was also from that human-shaped secret rune that resembled the figure that the desire to merge with him arose. The two desires intertwined and called to each other, as if they were meant to be one, but had been separated by an invisible barrier for too long.

"Wow, a change of perspective really does change the world!"

Hu Yanbo sighed inwardly, realizing that he had indeed looked at the core area in this way before.

Countless times before, his gaze was filled with research and exploration—studying whether the complete true meaning of Hunyuan was hidden behind the cause and effect of the semi-Hunyuan level, and exploring how to break through the barriers and go further.

Unlike now, when he had no interest in exploring the situation, but only a pure gaze that wanted to refine and merge with it, as if this was the proper way for him to interact with this pre-supplied panel.

It was as if this was the proper way for him to interact with this pre-paid panel.

The two desires intertwined completely, and the human figure's secret patterns no longer resisted, actively moving closer to Huyan Bo's mental will.

But just as the source was about to surge in, Huyanbo abruptly stopped his movements.

The bearing capacity of the semi-primordial level of the Dao foundation is far less than the magnitude of the primordial origin of the pre-supported panel core.

If the source is allowed to surge unchecked, without any external backlash, his path of cause and effect will be washed away and shattered first.

"Don't rush it." Hu Yanbo calmed his mind and forcibly suppressed the urge to merge.

He only drew upon a tiny, almost imperceptible thread of origin, which, following the patterns of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, seeped little by little into his own Dao foundation.

Each time a thread seeps in, it pauses for a moment, allowing the Great Dao to slowly adapt and bear it, until the pattern is completely stable before initiating the next thread.

There was no surging, merging phenomenon, only a near-stagnant slowness.

He refined the core essence little by little in the most clumsy and safest way, fearing that if he was even a little too fast, he would trigger a catastrophe of overloading the Great Dao.

In this way, with each infiltration of the origin, there was a subtle improvement in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect at the semi-chaotic origin level. The barrier between the semi-chaotic origin and the complete chaotic origin was gradually cracking as this slow fusion occurred.

Although the entire barrier is only a few hundred million, even a little bit is progress.

Meanwhile, in the primordial land, inside the quiet chamber of Starlight's cave.

A towering figure sat cross-legged, his body like an unshakeable pillar of the infinite primordial space.

One after another, illusory figures emerged from different timelines and merged into this majestic figure.

"Ling Yan, go to the Lingxi World Group and bring back some talented youngsters from the Holy Realm—"

"Mo Chen, hurry to the Xuanbing World. It's about to be attacked. Go quickly and take away some talented little guys."

"Ye Qingyu, the Ice Peak faction is about to enter your world group. Don't fight them head-on. Preserve your main combat avatar and take the treasures and geniuses with you!"

Messages were transmitted through the starlight.

Xingmang, as the person with the highest achievement in the field of spacetime in the entire Hunyuan Space, can foresee many futures and control the spacetime network. Every decision he makes is related to the survival of the cultivator camp.

Therefore, although the cultivator camp has seven lords who each manage a territory, many key matters of the entire camp are generally decided jointly by Yuan and Xingmang.

Only matters of exceptional importance concerning the life or death of the faction will be discussed by summoning the seven lords together.

A vast amount of information flows through the quiet room, yet Xingmang remains calm and composed, transmitting countless instructions to all parts of the territory with the slightest movement of his fingertips.

Suddenly, Xingmang slowly opened his eyes, his pupils revealing the image of time and space being created and destroyed: "Huyanbo, his future timeline has been reduced again."

"Although it's only reduced from one million to nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

"Only one item was removed!"

"But the decrease at least means he has made new progress!"

Xingmang's thoughts stirred slightly, but he suppressed the urge to immediately send a telepathic message to the other lords.

If Huyanbo's cultivation were to stop midway, and if the lords were to be disappointed again, it would only unnecessarily shake the morale of the army.

It would be best to wait until the opportunity is maximized and his progress is truly solid before informing everyone.

However, he still conveyed a message to the lords: "Do your best to delay the progenitor!"

The original place, in Huyanbo's quiet room.

Hu Yanbo continued to slowly refine his origin, his strength increasing silently.

The life levels that were originally driven by the Lord of the Source World are now slowly climbing.

In the primordial land, boundless and vast energy surged wildly into his body.

The energy of the original land was already sufficient to sustain a lord's cultivation, let alone the fact that he was only at the early stage of the world level.

Energy flows in continuously, without any interruption.

World-class Hunyuan early stage peak, mid-stage, mid-stage peak —

The improvement was slow, but there were no bottlenecks hindering it.

In the boundless primordial space, at the border of the cultivators' territory, a fierce battle has just ended.

"More than seventy ancestral beings are besieging the seven of us—I don't know how much longer we can hold out."

"This world group has basically been destroyed."

The seven lords exchanged greetings, each bearing injuries of varying severity, yet they were rapidly recovering under the nourishment of the Primal Chaos Power.

Each cultivator lord is a top-tier existence in the Chaotic Origin Space, not only immortal and indestructible, but also possessing top-tier combat power.

Even with only seven members, they formed the second largest faction in the Infinite Chaos Space.

The Primordial Chaos Life Faction boasts over a hundred Primordial-level beings, making it the undisputed number one power. Among them, the nine most outstanding are known as the "Nine Emperors."

Among the Nine Emperors, not all are immortal. Most are high in attack but low in defense, with terrifying explosive power but fatal weaknesses.

"Huh?" Yuan suddenly exclaimed softly, "Hu Yanbo—he's evolving towards the late-stage world-class level."

"A late-stage world-class expert?" Lord Jin was first taken aback, then exclaimed, "Didn't he just break free from his shackles and refine the source world?"

Hu Yanbo's seclusion lasted only three epochs, and even with a million-fold acceleration, it would only be three million epochs.

For a Hunyuan expert, this amount of time is insignificant, and improving their realm is even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

"Hmm!" Xingmang replied.

"I can only see 100,000 future events related to Huyanbo left!"

"I was originally planning to wait until there was less time before telling you, but Yuan found out first."

"I knew it!"

"Perhaps—if we hold out for a while longer, the eighth lord among us cultivators will be born!"

"Good, good, good, this is a good thing!" The Lord of the Blue House, whose size was as vast as an ancient divine mountain, was filled with ecstatic joy.

"Once the eighth lord is born, combined with Elder Brother's formation, our combined strength will increase by at least 30%!"

The lords present were all invigorated, and most of the fatigue between their brows disappeared—their anticipation for the birth of the eighth lord had nothing to do with what kind of Great Dao the other party cultivated, or whether he was good at direct combat.

The core idea is this: if the cultivator camp has one more lord, they can cooperate with Yuan to unleash an even more powerful "Hun Yuan Rule Operation Array".

This grand formation is Yuan's core technique, capable of integrating the power of all lords into one, combining offense and defense, and greatly enhancing overall combat power and defense.

At that time, not to mention the previous seventy-odd ancestors besieging them, even if hundreds of ancestors attacked together, they would be able to fight them head-on and would no longer have to passively defend themselves like this.

It is important to understand that in team battles, Yuan is the absolute core of the cultivator camp.

Even Xingmang, known as the strongest spear and wielding power over time and space, and Wulan, known as the strongest shield and possessing unparalleled physical defense, need to rely on Yuan's grand formation to unleash their full combat power and cooperate with each other to form an impeccable offensive and defensive system.
