Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Hu Yanbo completely banished the absurd idea of ​​"borrowing from others in advance" from his mind and looked at the Radiant Marquis and the Rock Marquis, who were still filled with excitement and anticipation.

In reality, time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.

"With this matter settled, the depths of this mysterious realm are no place to linger," Huyan Bo said. "I will now send you away."

With that, he waved his hand and took out his iconic spaceship—the Meteorite Star.

"Let's go in." Hu Yanbo stepped into the spaceship first, followed closely by the two women.

In order to save lives, he spared no effort, teleporting over extremely long distances repeatedly, just to save every second.

Now that the crisis has passed, there is no need for such measures.

The hatch closed, the spaceship's engines emitted a deep hum, and it transformed into a streak of light, steadily heading towards the exit of the secret realm.

Inside the ship, Marquis Huiguang and Marquis Panshi watched the bizarre and turbulent scene of the secret realm rushing past through the simulated exterior porthole, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future and gratitude towards Huyanbo.

The atmosphere temporarily became relaxed and peaceful.

However, beneath this tranquility, a deadly crisis is swooping down across the secret realm at a speed far exceeding that of a spaceship!

……

During the time when Huyanbo took Panshihou away and restored Huiguanghou, outside the Dark Erosion Cave.

The Bloodfang King, who had previously fled in a sorry state, was now lying in wait in a forest of broken crystal pillars.

Its enormous vertical pupils were filled with resentment, fear, and the deepest unwillingness!

"Humans! Damn Soul Masters!" Bloodfang King roared, "My Legacy Crystal... my destiny! It can't just end like this!"

The information about this divine messenger's inheritance crystal was conveyed to him by its fallen descendant through the communication system using the language of consciousness when it was first discovered.

As a King-level Immortal and a member of the Demon Alliance, Blood Fang possessed far more knowledge than ordinary people and almost immediately recognized that it was very likely the legendary Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal!

A tremendous opportunity is about to unfold before us!

Therefore, King Bloodfang immediately arranged a meeting place with his descendant, preparing to personally take over, and promised to give his descendant enormous benefits afterward.

However, to my utter surprise!

Just as it was about to arrive, its descendants were jointly slaughtered by the two human marquises (Marquis of Panshi and Marquis of Huiguang)!

This led to the scene where Marquis Panshi and his companion were forced into a desperate situation.

He thought he had it all in the bag, but a human suddenly appeared and became an immortal king. Not only did his sure goal slip away, but his soul was also damaged!

"If I can't have it, then you can't have it easily either!" Extreme resentment overwhelmed fear, and a vicious plan took shape in its mind.

"Report this! Request that a stronger being intervene! Even if I don't get the biggest share in the end, I want to see that human torn to pieces with my own eyes to vent my hatred!"

Without further hesitation, Bloodfang King immediately contacted a powerful demon king in the mysterious realm he knew through the communication system.

The demon race's communication system was already outdated, and in the secret realm, it was only set up by powerful members of the demon alliance who came to the secret realm.

This further exacerbates the backwardness of the system, causing communication to become unreliable in environments of raging energy and spatial disorder, often resulting in only intermittent communication through conscious language.

At this moment, Bloodfang King could only pray that the powerful and decisive King was currently within the signal coverage area and would be willing to respond to its call.

Once, twice... the signal seemed to sink without a trace.

Bloodfang King's heart sank. Just as it was about to despair and was preparing to try to contact the other, slightly weaker, crowned kings—

Sizzle... sizzle...

A fragmented and extremely vague response came back from the communication system, carrying obvious impatience and displeasure at being disturbed:

"Tell me the location!"

There's a response! Lord Mantis King has received it!

And it seems he's in the nearby area!

Bloodfang King was overjoyed and immediately sent his coordinates over as quickly as possible.

That chilling thought returned, still extremely brief:

"Just wait!"

Communication was immediately interrupted.

Bloodfang King let out a long, twisting sigh of relief, his massive body trembling slightly with excitement.

It knew that, given the Mantis King's personality, it would arrive very soon!

It curled up, waiting for its moment of revenge.

The Bloodfang King was not kept waiting for long.

The space in front of it rippled silently, like the surface of water.

Two figures, one in front of the other, seemed to emerge from nothingness and quietly descend upon this area.

The leader was a powerful demon race member who was nearly three meters tall, covered in dark gold, fine scales, and resembled a mantis standing upright.

It has four arms, the edges of which gleam with a chilling light, as if they themselves were the sharpest blades.

Its compound eyes are complex in structure, cold and ruthless, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, simply staring silently at Bloodfang King.

"!!!"

Bloodfang King's massive body instantly froze!

A terrifying aura, far purer, more absolute, and more despair-inducing than when it faced the human king before, crashed down upon its soul!

will die!

One hit and he'll die!

This is the most instinctive and hysterical scream from the depths of Bloodfang King's soul!

"Sword...Sword Mantis King!"

The Bloodfang King's voice was filled with primal awe; it had almost lost the courage to even raise its head.

Although both are granted the title of Immortal King, their strength and status are worlds apart!

The other party is an existence that overlooks millions of immortal kings, while I am merely a person who has just stepped into the threshold of this realm.

Where are humans?

Suppressing the trembling in his soul and the almost irresistible urge to kneel, Bloodfang King revealed everything he knew with utmost speed and respect: "Reporting to King Mantis! That human king's strength and detection equipment far surpass mine, therefore I dared not make any move!"

"However, I remember his scent and appearance!"

Having said that, Bloodfang King activated his divine power.

In an instant, light and shadow rapidly condensed and outlined in the void between it and the Mantis King!

A human male figure shrouded in black flames, with a cold face and prominent features, was clearly depicted, with a tiny silver spatial rune faintly visible between his brows.

Immediately afterward, a lotus flower, budding and with illusory black light shimmering around its edges, was condensed beside the figure. Each petal seemed to be composed of countless spatial blades, making it incredibly lifelike!

"My lord! This is the form of that human king! This is an extremely terrifying soul attack technique he used, and its shape resembles this black lotus! When I came into brief contact with it, my soul was severely struck!" Blood Fang King's voice was filled with lingering fear.

"It was he who stole your divine messenger's inheritance crystal, Mantis King."

The ruthless compound eyes of the Mantis King swept across the image condensed in the void, taking in every detail of Huyan Bo's appearance and the eerie black lotus.

And the dark green powerhouse behind it, who had remained silent until now, slowly spoke:

"This person's appearance, aura, and especially this strange Soul Lotus Secret Technique, in my memory, there is no one among the 100,000 kings of the human race who can match him."

Although they don't have the precise database that allows for instant comparison like the mechanical race, for a king-level expert, anyone with a certain reputation and strength can be easily remembered by their aura and appearance with a little attention!

Not to mention those from the opposing camp!

"It doesn't matter."

A cold, emotionless voice came directly from the mantis-like, menacing mouthparts.

"He's unlucky to have run into us."

"As long as he still dares to stay in the Mystic Realm, the list of 100,000 kings of the human race will soon be reduced to just those 'old faces' from your memory."

Before he finished speaking, the two front arms of the Mantis King casually crossed forward and slashed!

Tear—!!!

A huge, menacing spatial rift was torn open by its bare hands!

Rumble...

And centered on that huge spatial rift, visible spatial folds rippled wildly outwards like waves, crashing violently against the huge dark purple crystal clusters around it that were harder than alloy!

Click! Click! Click!

Countless enormous crystal pillars and clusters that had grown for hundreds of millions of years were like glass struck by a heavy hammer under the impact of this terrifying spatial ripple. They cracked with a tooth-grinding sound, their surfaces instantly covered with cracks, and then exploded with a bang!

Countless crystal fragments containing strange energy scattered and flew everywhere like a rainstorm!

Deeper inside, the previously relatively stable energy tides were completely disrupted, becoming extremely violent and emitting a muffled howl, as if the entire cave was groaning in pain!

This is the power of the Mantis King; with every move he makes, he influences the interior of the Dark Erosion Cave from its outer perimeter!

The Mantis King didn't even glance at the destruction it had caused, its massive form stepping into the jagged cracks that were still tearing the surroundings apart.

The dark green figure behind it followed silently.

Bloodfang King followed him inside.

Three figures instantly disappeared into the spatial interlayer!

I wonder if it will really be as the Mantis King said...

If Huyanbo is found, will there really be no such person on the list of human kings?
