Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 286 Everyone can go wherever they want!

"Go ahead and fight, don't act like we're scared!" Jin said coldly.

"Yes, we were never afraid before Huyan Bo came along, let alone now that Huyan Bo is here!" Yuan said coldly.

However, after speaking, he turned to Starlight and asked, "Starlight, do you think Orochi and the others will call for reinforcements?"

The progenitors who previously fought against the lords were only part of the naturally formed chaotic life force.

Every faction has both radical pro-war factions and conservative anti-war factions; those who support conquest and those who oppose fighting coexist, and the same is true for the naturally formed Hunyuan Life Faction.

In the past, the pro-war ancestors led by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor were powerful enough to suppress the lords' battles. The anti-war ancestors always stayed out of it, observing from their own domains and never participating in the great battle between the two sides.

"They will come." Starlight's clones spanned countless timelines, constantly probing the countless possibilities of the future. "This matter involves the future direction of the naturally formed chaotic life faction, and the Nine Emperors will inevitably gather together."

"So, at that time, all one hundred progenitors of the naturally formed Chaotic Origin Life Force will be present?"

"Just thinking about this scene is exciting," Jin said.

Facing over a hundred progenitors was something these lords had never done before, yet all seven lords trusted Xingmang's judgment.

These progenitors hid inside the body of the initial progenitor not out of cowardice, but because they had nowhere else to go.

They had no chance of escaping the mastery of spacetime and time.

Once they retreat, they will inevitably expose weaknesses along the way, and under the combined fierce attack of the eight lords, they will lose several progenitors.

The best option is to hide inside the original progenitor's body and wait for reinforcements.

They were also gambling, betting that if the progenitors of the Primordial Chaos Life Force gathered, there would be a possibility of victory.

"If all the hundred ancestors truly gather, we will have no choice but to focus on defense. We would rather give up some opportunities to attack than lose our battle formation, and then look for a chance to counterattack," Yuan said in a deep voice, already prepared for the worst.

"With Huyanbo here, we are not afraid of a protracted battle."

"One hundred progenitors?"

"Guard?" Hu Yanbo immediately replied, his laughter still calm.

"Have you all forgotten what I said before?"

"With me here, we can go wherever we want, unbound by any time or space."

"I want this battle to directly establish the status of our cultivator camp in the Infinite Chaos Space," Hu Yanbo continued with a smile.

As Hu Yanbo spoke, the eyes of all the lords lit up.

The Primordial Chaos Life Faction has its first holy land as the Infinite World, inhabited by the Infinite Serpent Clan, which includes more than ten ancestral beings.

The second holy land is the Realm of Giants, a special world no less than the Infinite World, where life is born as a world-class primordial being.

Their size is extremely large even among the naturally occurring chaotic life forms.

The race that has proliferated in the realm of the giants is the giant race, which is the second largest race after the Infinite Serpent race, and has as many as ten ancestral beings.

"Buzz!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Ancestor of Annihilation, the Ancestor of Fire Evolution, and the Ancestor of Boundless, in an instant, their incarnations descended upon the Giant God Realm.

Within the Colossus Realm, tens of thousands of colossal creatures dwell, the smallest of which is two or three tenths the size of the Origin World.

There was an even colossal creature, no less imposing than the Lord of the House, gazing at the four incarnations from afar.

"The Infinite Serpent Ancestors have arrived."

"We were at a disadvantage in our battle against the cultivators."

"They've come to beg us for help."

The enormous creatures communicated with each other, their voices filled with schadenfreude.

The conflict between the Giant God race and the Infinite race runs deep.

However, among the naturally formed chaotic life forms, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor has the highest prestige.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor possesses immense power and is immortal.

"Brother Giant God." The four avatars landed in one place and looked at the enormous creature in front of them.

It was an upright behemoth, its entire body covered in black and gold scales, and in addition to its two arms, it had a pair of enormous wings.

Simply sitting there, it is larger than an entire Origin World.

In terms of size, it ranks among the top three in the Infinite Chaos Space, several times larger than Wu Lan.

It is the Giant God Emperor, one of the nine emperors of the innate chaotic life camp, and the leader of the Giant God clan.

Of the three emperors who did not participate in this battle, the Giant Emperor was the leader. The Giant Emperor's direct power was the strongest among the nine emperors, but its ability to protect itself was relatively weak. Many beings could threaten it, and the cultivator lord Yuan was extremely effective against it.

Therefore, his position within the faction is weaker than that of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"I heard you were defeated?" The Giant Emperor looked at the four with great interest.

"A new lord has emerged, who has mastered the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and together with other lords, he is extremely difficult to deal with."

"Even if we hide inside the primordial body, we will still be killed," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "We need the three of you to help us."

Upon hearing this, the Giant Emperor immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Immediately, two terrifying auras descended nearby.

A massive black mist bird, its body shrouded in black mist that was the power of calamity; any encounter with it would trigger endless calamities.

The other enormous, obese beast had ever-changing, colorful fur, with each strand of hair concealing emptiness.

It looked at the four people with a calm expression.

"Ancestor of the Black Tide, Ancestor of the Primordial Beasts." The four avatars bowed.

The Black Tide Ancestor and the Chaos Origin Beast Ancestor are both among the Nine Emperors.

The key point is that neither of them belongs to any particular race; both are unique existences. In the infinite primordial void, most of these unique existences do not acknowledge that they belong to the innate primordial life form camp.

These two were on good terms with the Giant Emperor, which is why they tacitly joined his side, but they rarely took action.

"Everyone should understand that we cannot afford to lose this battle," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"If we are defeated by the cultivator camp again after exhausting the strength of our clan, the deterrent power of my naturally formed Hunyuan life camp will plummet."

"I do not like war," the Giant Emperor said softly. It preferred to calmly observe all things in the infinite primordial space, watching the grudges and struggles, remaining merely an observer.

"I have never shortchanged the Giant God Clan with the resources that should be given," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"Even now, you still refuse to join the war? Are you letting the cultivators overwhelm us?"

The Ancestor of Annihilation, the Ancestor of Boundless, and the Ancestor of Fire all looked toward the Giant God Emperor.

The Primordial Chaos Life Force is divided into two major factions: one centered around the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and the other led by the Giant God Emperor.

"I understand, we cannot afford to lose this battle." The Giant Emperor nodded. "But we will only participate in this one battle, and then we will withdraw."

The Black Tide Ancestor and the Chaos Origin Beast Ancestor, who were standing to the side, also nodded in agreement with the Giant God Emperor's words.

"Don't worry." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor nodded.

"The cultivator camp has a new lord. This new lord can instantly restore his companions to their peak condition, and can also reverse cause and effect, killing the ancestor through the primordial ancestor."

"They are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. After winning this battle, I will end the war."

There is a world of difference between ceasing hostilities after defeat and ceasing hostilities after victory.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor intends to use the power to defeat the eight great lords to prove to the Infinite Chaotic Space that the naturally born Chaotic Life Force is still the strongest.

"New lords, how much do you know?" the Primordial Beast Ancestor asked.

"To start a war, you need to understand the enemy's strengths and weaknesses."

"Aside from what I saw on the battlefield, I couldn't find any background on that new lord." A strange beast covered in sharp claws crawled out from the depths of time and space, its claws easily gripping the timeline.

"There is no trace of that new lord in any of the countless timelines."

"His cause-and-effect path can interfere with time."

"Hmm?" The four avatars, along with the Giant God Emperor, the Ancestor of the Black Tide, and the Ancestor of the Chaos Beast, all changed color.

"It can interfere with time, it's really troublesome." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's expression was solemn.

"At least he is a newly appointed lord."

The Endless Ancestor spoke.

"We must take advantage of his inexperience and crush the cultivators' camp in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, he will be even more difficult to deal with once he has fully grown up."

"With a hundred progenitors fighting eight lords, the advantage is on our side!" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor added.

"When will you depart?" asked the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

"The sooner the better," the Giant Emperor said calmly.

Once the progenitor decides to gather, the speed is extremely fast.

Led by the three emperors—the Giant God Emperor, the Primordial Beast Ancestor, and the Black Tide Ancestor—they gathered more than twenty ancestors who followed them, plus the ancestors resting in the rear, for a total of thirty-five ancestors who completed the assembly.

"I will lead you on your journey." The multi-clawed beast led the thirty-five ancestors across countless dimensions, heading straight for the cultivators' territory.

"They're about to set off, a total of thirty-five of them," Xingmang said, gazing into the distance and making a prediction.

"They set off, so we set off too!"

"Eight against thirty-five, the advantage is on our side!"

Hu Yanbo responded with a smile, enveloping the other lords with a single thought. Then, he activated the Chaotic Origin Cause Dao, directly distorting the cause. He and the seven lords disappeared from their original positions at the same time, without any leakage of spacetime ripples.

"Giant Emperor, it's been a long time!"

In the next instant, the eight lords blocked the path of the multi-clawed beast, the Mother of Time and Space, cutting off all their way forward.

The methods of traveling across vast distances and time are too slow for Hu Yanbo.

Moreover, the Mother of Time and Space's time-travel methods are already at a significant disadvantage in the face of the Starlight. Not only are her own time-space fluctuations easily captured and locked by the Starlight, but once she faces the Starlight head-on, the Mother of Time and Space's authority over time and space will be directly suppressed, and the entire surrounding time and space will be forcibly taken over and controlled by the Starlight.

The thirty-five progenitors, including the Giant God Emperor, froze in place, stunned, as they watched the eight lords appear out of thin air.

Lords?

Were they intercepted?

However, the Great Serpent had previously said that the lords were waiting in the Vasa world group, which was infinitely far away from this space-time. Even with Starlight's space-time mastery, it would take two days to reach that place.

How could it possibly appear right in front of me at this moment?

"Starlight cannot travel across time and space instantly, so this must be the method of that new lord."

"The Great Dao of Cause and Effect can be applied in such a way!" The ancestors were all greatly shocked.

Unfortunately, they know too little about these self-developed pathways that can't be viewed through a timeline.

Previously, Hu Yanbo suddenly appeared in Yuan's formation. At that time, Yuan's formation concealed the fluctuations of the origin. After the lineage of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor investigated, they concluded that Xingmang had used spacetime techniques to guide him there. They never thought it was Hu Yanbo's own ability.

When the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Giant God Emperor exchanged messages later, they completely omitted this crucial information and did not mention that Hu Yanbo himself possessed the ability to travel through time and space.

It was precisely because of this crucial information gap that none of the progenitors of the innate Hunyuan life camp could have predicted that Huyan Bo would personally lead seven lords to ambush them halfway.

After only a moment of stunned silence, the thirty-five progenitors, including the Giant Emperor, instantly snapped back to their senses and began to move closer to each other.

In particular, the three emperors, the Giant God Emperor, the Primordial Beast Ancestor, and the Black Tide Ancestor, almost instantly regained their senses and began to unleash their supreme power, preparing to join forces.

The Giant Emperor has great weaknesses when acting alone. He can join forces with the Primordial Beast Ancestor and the Black Tide Ancestor. The three complement each other's methods, leaving no flaws. Their combat power is comparable to the combined strength of three beings from the Eternal Land.

This is also the fundamental reason why they were able to become the second largest faction in the naturally formed Hunyuan Life Camp.

However, I regret to inform you that we are all progenitors who possess some kind of supreme power, lords of the supreme path.

One step behind means you'll be behind at every step.

Moreover, with a lord like Starlight who can predict the future, being one step behind is equivalent to being two steps behind.

Before the Colossus Emperors have even truly joined forces, the lords have already adopted old tactics.

Moman, Jin, and Minghuang immediately ignited their main battle clones and stormed in.

Even Naigu burned his main battle clone, unleashing his full power to deal damage.

It should be noted that Naigu mainly cultivates the Chaotic Origin Bloodline Path, having absorbed the bloodlines of many progenitors for cultivation. His strength is well-balanced in all aspects, and he has often served as a tank in battles.

At this moment, the burning clones suddenly exploded with billions of blood-red origins, condensing into a blood-red tide that spanned time and space. Golden bloodline secret patterns emerged from the waves, and then directly swept towards the group of ancestors with an extremely violent attack.

Even Yuan was able to free up his hands and fully participate in the battle.

There was no other way. Previously, the lords had faced the combined forces of more than seventy ancestors. A single attack from those ancestors could force the seven lords to focus solely on defense, leaving them no time to spare.

Now, with only thirty-five progenitors, even if they join forces, their strength is vastly different from before.

It's important to understand that when powerful forces join forces, it's never just a simple addition of numbers; the resulting power is far greater than the sum of its parts.

When more than seventy progenitors joined forces, their supreme power amplified each other, and their might could be a geometric multiple of the power of thirty-five progenitors combined.

For this reason, the situation was more favorable than ever before for the eight lords.

Every lord was making a move, and in just one round of attacks, several progenitors were severely injured. In addition, three progenitors who were extremely injured were captured by the starlight across multiple dimensions and brought back to the cultivator camp.

The three progenitors struggled frantically in the hands of the starlight, but to no avail.

In the previous great battle, the Xuan Yan Ancestor was able to escape because of the suppression of the void by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the leader of the innate Hunyuan life camp.

At this moment, only the Mother of Time and Space was present. In terms of time and space expertise, she was far inferior to Xingmang, and could neither suppress the void nor interfere with Xingmang's time and space techniques.

In the realm of spacetime, they had no right to contend with the Starlight and could only watch helplessly as three of their kin were captured.

After this first round of baptism, the Giant God Emperor finally joined forces with the Primordial Beast Ancestor and the Black Tide Ancestor.

As the three merged, endless colorful light instantly surrounded the colossal body of the Giant Emperor. Beyond the colorful light, a continuous stream of towering black mist surged forth, enveloping his entire body.

That endless field of colorful light was transformed from the Primordial Beast Ancestor.

The body of the Primordial Beast Ancestor is the most terrifying domain in the infinite Primordial Space. Within this domain, even the starlight cannot mobilize the slightest bit of void power.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the realm of colored light is actually a fat behemoth covered in colorful fur, with each ray of colored light being its fur and each inch of the realm being its body.

Beyond the colorful light, the endless black mist was formed from the body of the Black Tide Ancestor, transforming into the Black Tide Calamity Domain.

This domain's suppressive power is slightly weaker than the Hunyuan Beast Ancestor's domain, but it can still unleash endless calamities to bombard enemies. Streams of calamity power continuously bombard enemies who enter the domain's range, eroding their Great Dao power and weakening their combat strength.

Enveloped by both the Black Tide Disaster Domain and the Chaos Origin Beast Ancestor Domain, and with the Giant God Emperor's invincible physical body, the Giant God Emperor now had no weaknesses whatsoever.

With a single-minded focus on defense, they were able to protect the remaining progenitors and prevent Starburst from having another chance to easily capture the heavily injured progenitors.

But so what?

Starlight was suppressed by the domain and could not mobilize the power of spacetime to capture the progenitor, but there was still Huyan Bo.

"Giant God Emperor, guess how many of you will die by the time all of his ancestors arrive, except for the Infinite Serpent lineage!" Hu Yanbo laughed loudly.

"Especially your giant race, won't some of you die?"

The Infinite Serpent Clan, relying on the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's control over infinite worlds, can instantly traverse distant time and space, coming and going freely.

There are only a dozen or so progenitors of the Infinite Orochi lineage who can participate in battles.

This is far from enough in such a major war.

Far from enough!

The other lords didn't stop their actions at all; they burned their clones when they needed to, and attacked with all their might when they needed to.

Upon hearing Hu Yanbo's words, they all turned to look at him with somewhat strange expressions.

They all believed that their cultivator faction was the righteous force protecting the many source worlds of the Chaos Origin Space.

But this new lord in front of me looks just like a big bully from the Chaos Origin Space.

These words were like bullying a child.

So what's next?

Isn't this just the bully's favorite way to beat up kids?

That's alright, they like it too!
