Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 283 The Pinnacle

"I have read through the information about everyone and the ancestors. Give me a moment, and I will create the most suitable secret technique to work with you all," Hu Yanbo said with a smile.

"So fast?"

Even the usually indifferent Starlight showed surprise.

It should be noted that it took him quite a bit of time to comprehend the Chaotic Origin Spacetime Dao, use spacetime acceleration, and observe future timelines to create a Lord-level ultimate technique.

The lords who comprehend other Hunyuan Dao take even longer.

but-

"Hahaha, alright, since you've said so, Huyanbo, then we'll guard the Vasa World Group!" The lords listened, and although they were full of surprise, they didn't question it at all.

At their level, if they were to still spout empty boasts and empty words, they would only make themselves a laughingstock.

"Then we'll wait for you in the Vaishya world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clones of the lords instantly turned into streaks of light and disappeared from the spot.

In wars of this caliber, both the Guan Sheng Hunyuan Life Faction and the cultivator lords must go all out and avoid distractions whenever possible.

In an instant, only Huyan Bo remained in the cave.

He withdrew the causal domain that was spreading around him, sat directly on the platform, and without any delay, began to deduce the Hunyuan Ultimate Technique that was suitable for the battlefield.

For Hu Yanbo, devising battle tactics and creating the first set of Hunyuan-level ultimate techniques was not too difficult.

Furthermore, because the pre-resource panel had been completely refined by him and become the core of the Hunyuan Fruit Cause Great Dao, Huyan Bo naturally possessed a set of the strongest battle techniques unique to himself as soon as he stepped into the Hunyuan Lord realm.

However, just as before, one must repay the karmic debts once the deed is done.

"After refining this advance payment panel and becoming a lord, I can feel its incredible nature even more," Hu Yanbo thought to himself, his eyes full of thought.

After becoming a Lord of Chaos, his perception underwent a qualitative change, allowing him to penetrate layers of time and space and vaguely touch upon many secrets deep within the infinite Chaos Space.

Those terrifying and mysterious places exuded a chilling pressure without any concealment. Even with his current strength as a lord, the aura emanating from some of them still made him feel threatened.

To refine the essence of these mysterious places, one needs to master at least two supreme powers.

For example, the exclusive world "Infinite World" born from the "Infinite Orochi Clan" requires the simultaneous mastery of the two supreme powers of "Void" and "Infinity" in order to enter its core;

For example, the territory that Luo Feng will rule in the future, "Blood Crane Territory," is an ordinary yet mysterious place. If Luo Feng had not comprehended the fundamental mysteries, he would also need two supreme powers as a foundation to truly control its origin.

However, the pre-requisite panel is completely different. It does not require him to control any supreme power in advance, and he can refine it smoothly. It even helps him break through the shackles and break through to the realm of Hunyuan Lord by using the insights into the Great Dao fed back during the refining process.

Such a heaven-defying event is unheard of and unprecedented in the entire infinite primordial space.

"I wonder if there are any other mysterious places like the pre-drawn panel in the Hunyuan Space." A hint of inquiry flashed in Huyan Bo's eyes, but he already had a vague answer in his heart—there should be.

Because he could clearly perceive that his Hunyuan Guoyin Dao seemed to be resonating faintly with some unknown place.

No, it's not the Chaotic Origin Cause and Effect Dao itself, but rather the pre-support panel that has long been integrated into the core of the Cause and Effect Dao. It is maintaining a subtle and imperceptible connection with a certain hidden place deep within the Chaotic Origin Space. That connection is obscure and wondrous, as if it transcends endless time and space and cause and effect, quietly guiding his perception.

"Let's explore this slowly after this battle."

Hu Yanbo suppressed his desire to explore, as his immediate priority was to deduce the Hunyuan Ultimate Technique that was suitable for the battlefield.

Therefore, Hu Yanbo quickly calmed down and, relying on his own understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect, began to deduce directly.

The complete Hunyuan Guoyin Daodao (Great Dao of Cause and Effect) – where there is cause and effect, as long as you first conceive of the desired "result" and then deduce the "process" that conforms to the logic of cause and effect, and make each step of evolution fit your own ability, you can create your own unique skills without relying on the power of the pre-drawn panel.

The battlefield is currently dangerous, with the seventy-three progenitors launching a ferocious offensive. The first priority is to forge a defensive technique.

Although his physical body was already formidable, it was still not as extreme as Wu Lan's, so he naturally did not want to rely solely on his physical body to withstand the ancestors' killing moves.

"Any outcome aimed at me will be forcibly reset to the starting point; I will ensure that all attacks directed at me by my opponents will never reach the true result of harming me."

Hu Yanbo's mind sank into the Great Dao, and strands of causal secret patterns swirled around his fingertips, with the material system of all things around him intertwining and operating with the Great Dao of cause and effect.

He first set the ultimate goal of "not being harmed," and then deduced the process in reverse—based on his own causal principles—to weave an invisible causal barrier that enveloped himself within it.

Whenever an attack comes, this barrier will distort the cause and effect of the attack: the opponent's killing move will be forcibly traced back to the starting point of "not being attacked";

The bombardment containing the power of primordial chaos will rewrite cause and effect, either turning into nothingness or deviating from the target;

Even if an attack manages to hit the barrier, the causal chain will break, and it will not produce the result of "harming me".

This kind of deduction does not require forcibly activating the pre-funded panel; it simply follows the law of cause and effect, and the result will come naturally.

A moment later, the complete set of defensive techniques was complete.

"Let's call it 'zeroing out the cause and effect'!" A hint of a smile flashed in Hu Yanbo's eyes.

"With defense comes offense."

The material system of all things is the foundation, and the cause and effect are the guiding principles. The two are intertwined and integrated, which not only forges a super strong defense, but also makes its offensive power no less formidable.

Hu Yanbo shifted his focus and began to deduce the offensive techniques, still adhering to the core principle of "determining the cause by the effect," and embarking on a completely different path of attack.

Ordinary practitioners' attacks follow the conventional principle of "first activating power, then launching an attack, and finally hitting the target," adhering to the rule of "cause first, effect later."

But what Huyanbo wanted to do was to break this convention. The offensive technique he wanted to deduce was "effect first, cause later". When he made a strike, the power of the attack came first, and only then did the action of drawing power and striking the attack appear.

The causal runes flowed at his fingertips, and the primordial power around him resonated with the material system of all things. He first locked onto the ultimate goal of "destroying the target" in his mind.

The most incredible aspect of this attack is that it can ignore all defenses.

After all, the power of an attack precedes the action itself, and all of the opponent's defenses, whether physical barriers or the Great Dao barrier, are rendered ineffective.

Even the most advanced defensive techniques are designed to defend against "imminent attacks," but once the damage has already occurred, even the strongest defense becomes useless.

Even a progenitor-level being, once locked onto by this attack, will first bear the full power of the attack, suffer damage to its origin and tremble its physical body, before one can see Hu Yanbo raise his hand and activate the power of cause and effect.

Hu Yanbo slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of causal power, refined to its extreme, gathered at his fingertips. With a gentle flick, a violent tremor first rippled through the quiet chamber of the distant cave, and then a pale golden blade of causal light slashed through the void, leaving a clear trajectory.

That tremor was the trace of the attack's power falling first; that blade of light was the "cause of the attack" that completed the attack.

A moment later, the entire offensive technique was deduced. Hu Yanbo looked at the causal light blade flowing from his fingertips and smiled slightly: "This is the Cause and Effect Strike!"

Of course, while this offensive technique can achieve the effect of "result before cause," it also has obvious limitations—in order to achieve the effect of "guaranteed hit," the power of the attack will be weakened accordingly.

After all, the core of the Path of Cause and Effect is "determining the cause and effect." By using more power to lock onto the target and rewrite cause and effect, a portion of the energy will naturally be diverted, resulting in a weaker explosive force compared to a pure attack.

But that's enough!

Based on the core principle of "determining cause by effect," Hu Yanbo would first lock onto the final "fruit" in his mind before deducing each secret technique—whether it be the ultimate defense, the domineering attack, or the suppression of a domain.

The secrets of curse killing all begin with determining the effect and then tracing back to the cause, thus quickly completing the creation of the secret method.

After completing the creation of his own secret technique, he then began to develop secret techniques that could be used in conjunction with those of other lords.

"Hmm! We need Wu Lan's help with this."

"However, Moman and Kim will probably like it very much."

"This move can be combined with Elder Yuan's grand formation."

"This move can be combined with starlight to create a causal relationship in spacetime, pulling and pulling the opponent!"

It seems that creating dozens of lord-level secret techniques in succession, even with the ability to determine the cause and effect, should have taken a lot of time.

However, the cave has been imbued with spacetime magic by the starlight, causing time to flow extremely fast.

Therefore, in just a short while, Huyan Bo inside the cave had already obtained all the secret techniques he desired.

All the combined attack moves have been deduced and created.

"Everyone!" Hu Yanbo slowly rose to his feet, his voice transmitted through the Cause-and-Effect Line: "My battle strategy has been fully deduced. To coordinate with Elder Brother's grand formation, I have created a special technique—the Cause-and-Effect Grafting Domain."

"As long as you are within the range of my cause-and-effect grafting domain, any damage you suffer when using your techniques can be transferred through the power of cause-and-effect grafting."

"After thinking about it, I've decided to share all the damage between myself and Wu Lan."

"However, my current capacity is limited; I can only bear a small portion. The remaining majority will need to be borne by Brother Wulan. I wonder if Brother Wulan can handle it?"

Hu Yanbo had his own considerations. Although he possessed the defensive technique of "Returning Cause and Effect to Zero," he dared not be careless in the face of the simultaneous attacks of seventy or eighty ancestors.

Each time that defensive technique "hurts me" in a cycle, he needs to bear the corresponding causal burden with the Chaotic Origin Cause and Effect Dao. After all, the other ancestors also possess some kind of supreme power and should not be underestimated.

Therefore, if the attacks received in a short period of time are too violent and numerous, they can completely break through the cause-effect chain.

Even if he is the lord, it will take time to resolve the situation.

"Yes, of course!" Before the other lords could speak, Wu Lan's deep voice rang out first.

"With Elder Brother's grand formation providing layers of damage reduction, I can withstand not only absorbing most of the damage, but even if all the attacks landed on me!"

"I cultivate the ultimate material path, pursuing the ultimate in defense. This impact can't harm me!"

"Some can also fall on me!" A steady voice followed closely behind; it was Lord Naigu.

"Of course, being injured by five or six progenitors is enough; it won't affect my strength."

Upon hearing this, all the lords smiled. Everyone knew the source of Naigu's confidence—he had previously served as the second-best tank in the cultivator camp, and over the years, he had also been the second-line defender for the lord camp.

"Haha, no need, no need," Hu Yanbo laughed.

"With me and Brother Wu Lan here, we can withstand any attack."

During the conversation, the seven lords had already simulated detailed battle scenarios, and the eight lords were cooperating to deal with the 73 progenitors, with many battle scenarios being simulated one by one.

Therefore, the more virtual the conversation is, the lighter the tone of voice becomes.

While Wu Lan's physical body was indeed powerful, it was still unable to completely withstand those progenitors who also possessed supreme power.

Those progenitors possessed bizarre methods, including secret techniques that could ignore some defenses and deliver guaranteed hits. If these techniques were used against smaller, offensive lords like Moman and Jin, they would be able to keep them busy and even cause them injury.

"That's great! With Huyanbo's domain, we'll definitely be able to defend the Vasa World Group!" Jin's voice was filled with excitement. He was always bloodthirsty and disliked passive defense, but at this moment he couldn't help but cheer for this domain.

"Hold on?"

"No, we're going to counterattack!" Huyanbo laughed.

"I created more than just this secret technique to help everyone!"

Hu Yanbo smiled and relayed information about the other secret techniques to the lords.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Huyanbo, your secret technique is of immense help to group battles."

"My clone left in the original place has been accumulating the power of spacetime. I will set off now to take you to the main battlefield to participate in the battle," Starlight hurriedly said.

As the lord who governs the Great Dao of Time and Space, Xingmang's travel speed is unparalleled in the Hunyuan Space.

Each step taken tears apart layers of spacetime barriers, traversing countless timelines.

For him, traveling was as easy as walking on a map, requiring little effort.

Even if they took Huyanbo's main battle avatar from the original place to the battlefield of the Vasa world, it would probably only take a day to arrive.

But—that's taken too long!

"No need, Starlight!" Hu Yanbo immediately interrupted.

"Prepare yourselves immediately! Unleash your full power and catch the ancestors off guard with a surprise attack! I'll be there in the next instant!"

The Starry Sky's Spacetime Avenue follows the trajectory of spacetime, and although it is fast, it still needs to follow the process from the beginning to the end.

However, Hu Yanbo's Dao of Cause and Effect can break this convention. He can first determine the cause of arrival on the battlefield and appear directly on the battlefield.

As for the reason for "rushing on the journey," we will fill in the details later.

Therefore, after Huyan Bo became the lord, the title of "the pinnacle of starlight travel in the Hunyuan starry sky" will have to be relinquished.
