Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 282 Lord Huyanbo

"Once Huyanbo breaks through, I will definitely teach these ancestors a lesson! I will make them pay a heavy price." The Golden-Eyed Lord's destructive power surged, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"This war was our greatest loss yet. Numerous world groups fell, and countless lives were wiped out." Golden lightning crackled around the Lord of the Netherworld, his gaze icy.

"These ancestors must pay a terrible price!"

"Um!"

"affim!"

The other lords echoed in deep voices, their eyes burning with anger.

"Boom~~~"

With a thought, Hu Yanbo unleashed a vast power of cause and effect, which intertwined and swirled, evolving into intricate and complex runes before him. These runes layered upon each other, eventually coalescing into a human-shaped rune pattern that perfectly mirrored his form and aura.

In his mind, the panel that had accompanied him in his cultivation and provided him with insights into the Great Dao was now faintly visible, its light dimmed, as if it would completely dissipate into his sea of ​​consciousness in the next second.

With a soft hum, the pre-planned panel in his mind completely disappeared, while the eyes of the human body secret pattern diagram in front of him suddenly lit up with a divine light, accurately meeting Hu Yanbo's gaze.

As their eyes met, Hu Yanbo was deeply shaken. In the eyes of the mantra-illustrated figure, the ultimate system of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect was reflected:

The material system of all things!

Within this system, nothing is non-material—the soul is not ethereal, but is formed by the condensation of the most subtle and special matter, and every wisp of soul thought has a traceable material foundation.

The physical body is the ultimate condensation of the matter of heaven and earth, bearing the power of the Great Dao. Every inch of skin and every tendon and bone is a manifestation of matter.

Even the seemingly formless will is not empty, but a special material form derived from the soul, containing the cultivator's Dao heart and obsession.

All things are matter, and matter evolves into all things. It is precisely because of this that we have the ultimate Dao principle that "all things have effects, and all effects have causes." Every kind of matter's derivation and every transformation of matter has its cause. Every cause will eventually bear a corresponding effect. The intertwining of cause and effect constitutes the operating law of this primordial space.

During the long period of refining the pre-received panel, Hu Yanbo felt that his own Dao was constantly rising, and the human body secret pattern in front of him was also becoming more and more complex. It was no longer a thin framework, and even his own subtle Dao charm and life essence details were gradually revealed in the pattern.

However, that improvement was always a passive transformation driven by the pre-allocated panel; Hu Yanbo only clearly perceived that his will...

Soul, body, origin, energy, and everything else are all rising wildly in every aspect, yet the core structure remains elusive, and it is unknown to which system of the Great Dao they belong to.

At that moment, the instant their eyes met, all the mystery vanished.

He finally found out.

All my transformations and improvements along the way are rooted in this material system of all things, and all causes and effects arise from it.

"Splash—"

—

At this moment, in the boundless expanse of space and time, an unimaginable torrent of energy was frantically converging towards Hu Yanbo's direction.

That is the power of primordial chaos—the source of all energy in the infinite primordial chaos space, the fundamental power that evolves all kinds of energy in the world, gives birth to countless mysterious places and source worlds, and gives birth to innate primordial chaos life and beings of the source world.

As Hu Yanbo fully comprehended the highest level of the Dao of Cause and Effect, the boundless primordial power of the original land rapidly condensed into the highest level of the power of the origin of cause and effect under the guidance and transformation of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

"Buzz!"

The highest level of causal power, like a surging celestial river, continuously converged and poured into Hu Yanbo's body—the final step of the known evolutionary path, officially initiating his transformation!

Huyanbo's life essence was surging at a visible speed, and his physical body was reshaped by the power of cause and effect, becoming indestructible and far surpassing any Primordial Treasure.

Nourished by the threads of cause and effect, the soul becomes increasingly refined, resonating with the Great Dao, and every wisp of soul thought can influence the cause and effect of heaven and earth.

From this moment on, the highest level of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect was no longer the goal of his cultivation, but a part of his life, connected to him by blood and flesh, and with his soul.

By being in harmony with the Dao, and by ensuring that cause and effect are indestructible, Huyan Bo is immortal and indestructible.

Looking out over the infinite primordial space, Hu Yanbo can casually summon avatars in any dimension, time, space, and countless source worlds. Although these avatars are initially small, they can autonomously absorb the primordial power and the power of cause and effect between heaven and earth, continuously grow, and become extensions of him.

"Boom!" In an instant, Hu Yanbo's physical body and soul were completely annihilated under the impact of the ultimate causal power, turning into countless tiny causal light points, which intertwined tightly with that sublime and vast causal power.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding spacetime began to bend and fold violently, layer upon layer, intertwining to form semi-transparent spacetime outlines, like countless mirrors reflecting each other, carrying endless causal trajectories.

The boundless power of primordial causality permeated every inch of spacetime, and under Hu Yanbo's will, it began to reshape his physical body and soul.

A short while later, Huyan Bo reappeared, dressed in a plain robe.

At first glance, he seemed to be just an ordinary cultivator.

But as Hu Yanbo's eyes slowly changed, his originally clear eyes gradually became as deep as an endless starry sea, with wisps of karmic patterns flowing in the depths of his eyes.

At that moment, it seemed as if everything within the infinite primordial space was contained within his eyes. Countless futures and the evolution of countless times and spaces flowed clearly in his eyes, without the slightest omission.

These transformed eyes, the pre-support panel transformed into a solid core.

This also represents Hu Yanbo's complete understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

However, this core of the Great Dao is fundamentally different from the life core of a naturally born primordial life form—it is not Huyan Bo's weakness, but rather the source of his power.

A lord who has comprehended the highest level of the Great Dao has no weaknesses!

Every lord is one with the Dao, every word and deed is in accordance with the Dao, and every action is the Great Dao. How could they be easily destroyed?

In the original land, the seven cultivator lords kept a close eye on Huyanbo, paying attention to every slight change in his breakthrough.

"What a peculiar body—or rather, what a peculiar soul!" Jin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Body and soul, completely united?"

"Not just the body and soul, but matter, energy, and the physical body are all integrated into one!"

All seven lords were beings who stood at the pinnacle of Hunyuan, and they saw through Huyan Bo's life essence at a glance.

This is a completely new life form that has been reconstructed and evolved based on the power of the Supreme Cause and Effect Great Dao.

It can be said that Huyanbo no longer has a separate physical body and soul. His body is constructed from the power of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, yet it perfectly combines the toughness of the physical body with the mystery of the soul, encompassing all the power of both.

"He has absorbed one-tenth of my energy, which is comparable to Naigu's." Wu Lan gazed into the distance, his voice low.

He primarily cultivates the material path, following the ultimate physical body system. His body is as vast and enormous as the source world, and the energy he contains is terrifying.

Among the seven lords, Lord Naigu, whose body ranks second, controls only one-tenth of the energy.

Hu Yanbo, who had just broken through, had already reached this level. Moreover, his energy increase was still rising wildly without any sign of stopping.

"It's reached 30% of my goal," Wu Lan said again, her tone tinged with surprise.

"Thirty-five percent!" Wu Lan's voice followed immediately, her eyes filled with even greater surprise.

"Its energy is comparable to 35% of Wulan's, but I wonder what level its defense is." Among the seven lords, Lord Moman, who was the smallest in size and energy reserves, couldn't help but speak, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

Lords and progenitors each have their own strengths; some excel at attacking, some at defending, and some at time travel.

Lord Moman comprehended the purest Chaos Wave Dao, containing no other Dao mysteries. His killing power was unparalleled, and he was most adept at breaking through defenses.

Among the seven lords of the cultivators, Lord Jin and Lord Moman are both renowned for their killing prowess, yet they are completely different—Lord Jin wields the path of destruction, and his attacks are pure shattering and annihilation, domineering and unparalleled.

The Lord of Moman, on the other hand, targets life fluctuations and soul fluctuations, which can ignore physical defenses to a certain extent and are often more deadly.

"Huyanbo's defense should be much weaker than mine, but he is still the second strongest among our eight lords, much stronger than Naigu," Wulan said in a deep voice.

After all, Wu Lan mainly cultivates the material path, following the ultimate and pure physical system. All his power is poured into the essence of his body, without the slightest distraction. His material has been condensed to the extreme. His defense is not only the best among the seven lords, but also ranks second among the many powerful beings in the Hunyuan Space who have mastered the supreme power.

Hu Yanbo cultivates the Dao of Cause and Effect. Although he also cultivates the physical body, his physical body is part of the material system of all things. Matter and cause and effect are intertwined, and the strength of his physical body depends on the maintenance of the Dao of Cause and Effect. It is not a purely material physical body like Wu Lan's.

This is precisely why Huyan Bo's physical defense, solidified by the power of cause and effect, far surpasses that of ordinary lords.

However, compared to Wu Lan, who has cultivated the material path to its extreme and whose physical body is everything, he is ultimately far inferior.

"His physical body isn't extreme, so his attacks naturally won't be as extreme as Moman's. I imagine that in the future, he can be as perfect in every aspect as Elder Brother," Xingmang said with a smile.

"What a pity. I thought his Dao would be like mine or Moman's, an extremely powerful type in terms of offense. I was even thinking of using his power to kill a few more ancestors!" The killing intent in Jin's eyes was not concealed, and his tone was tinged with regret.

Lord Jin and Lord Moman are the "spears" of attack among the seven lords. The vast majority of fatal damage to the fallen progenitors of the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan faction came from these two.

The Golden Lord's Path of Destruction is domineering and unparalleled, while the Moman Lord's Path of Fluctuation can ignore some defenses. When the two join forces, along with the attacks of the Nether Phoenix, they form the sharpest killing move in the cultivator camp.

"However, it's fine if everything is perfect. At least after he joins Elder Brother's formation, we will be able to contend with those ancestors." The Golden-Eyed Lord paused, his expression softening slightly, and then continued.

"Yes! I think so too!" Yuan nodded.

"Huyan Bo's energy absorption speed has slowed down, so his breakthrough is probably nearing completion. Once he has fully stabilized his realm and we have figured out his methods, we can discuss how to cooperate further."

Inside the quiet room of the cave dwelling.

Hu Yanbo's body slowly contracted, returning to its normal size. Centered on him, an extremely terrifying domain naturally spread out in all directions.

Just as the origin of the primordial world spontaneously operates a supreme rule system, Hu Yanbo's body at this moment is essentially even more terrifying than the origin of the primordial world. The Great Dao of Hunyuan Guoyin that he controls naturally attracts the four directions of heaven and earth, transforming them into his own domain.

Within the vast area covered by this main battle avatar alone, any world-class Chaos Origin life that stepped into it would only perish under the suppression of the power of this Cause and Effect Domain, with no power to resist whatsoever.

Even more so—his system of all things can mobilize the transformation of energy and matter, continuously strengthening this realm of cause and effect, with its power rising layer by layer.

Although they may not be as good as those ancestors in the Hunyuan camp who specialize in the Great Dao of the Domain, how many ancestors in the entire Hunyuan space specialize in the Great Dao of the Domain?

"Brother Huyanbo, congratulations!"

Just as Hu Yanbo had completely stabilized his realm and completed his breakthrough, a voice rang out; it was Yuan.

Before the words were finished, the void trembled slightly, and seven figures appeared one after another. All of them had their auras concealed, and they were obviously just weak clones of the seven lords, including Yuan. The main battlefield was in full swing, and they could not get away at all, so they could only come to offer their congratulations in the form of clones.

"Huyan Bo, I am Minghuang! Welcome to be my fellow Daoist!" The only female lord, Minghuang, spoke first, her tone cold, but endless golden lightning quietly bloomed and flowed in her eyes, unable to conceal the turmoil in her heart.

Over countless years, the cultivators have endured countless battles and suffered heavy losses. Now, they have finally welcomed their eighth lord. Only they themselves know how difficult this journey has been.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Lord Huyanbo!"

Lords Jin, Wulan, Moman, and others spoke one after another, their voices filled with genuine joy and anticipation. Although they were only avatars, their excitement was palpable. The birth of the eighth lord meant that the cultivators' camp had finally grown stronger, and that this fierce war finally had a better chance of victory.

Hu Yanbo replied with a smile, "I am able to achieve what I have today entirely thanks to Elder Brother, Star Lord, and all of you fellow Daoists for protecting the cultivator camp."

"Now that we have you, we have one more guardian, and our ranks of cultivators are strengthened once again," Yuan said with a smile.

"The possibility of a new lord emerging has increased."

"Yes!" Xingmang nodded, and at the same time, a message was transmitted to Huyanbo: "Huyanbo, this is the 'Dao' of our seven lords, as well as the information we have gathered about all the primordial-level beings in the Infinite Chaos Space."

"Take a look first. As for creating battle tactics, there's no need to rush. This war is almost over. We're going to give up on the Vaishya world group," Yuan said slowly.

"But this is the last time I'll give up!"

"With your participation in the next war, even if things don't go well, we will be able to hold our own against the enemy."

"No more territory will be abandoned!"

"give up?"

"Why give up?" Hu Yanbo asked directly.

"It should be the naturally born, undifferentiated life form faction that should be abandoning this!"

"But you—" Lord Yuan and others tried to persuade them.

"Before I break through, the Vaishya world group will be abandoned!"

"Even after my breakthrough, the Vaishya world group was abandoned!"

"Then my breakthrough was for nothing?"
