Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Time flies, and aside from the time spent absorbing the Void Root from the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom in the real universe.

Hu Yanbo devoted most of his consciousness and energy to the infinite starry sky training ground in the virtual universe.

In this training ground, Hu Yanbo's basic physical qualities did not change despite the improvement in his life gene level in reality.

Here, the only thing he can rely on to defeat increasingly powerful opponents is a deeper understanding of the laws of the universe, more exquisite control over telekinetic weapons, and sufficiently powerful secret techniques!

The first 500 opponents were relatively easy, but it took Hu Yanbo more than ten years to create his own top-level secret technique.

This is also because Hu Yanbo's understanding of the laws of space is already extremely high!

Therefore, it is relatively easy.

Just like a scholar who has mastered the principles of advanced mathematics, when he goes back to solve a difficult math problem at the junior or intermediate level, although he needs to adapt to the specific question types and solution steps, he can understand the essence of the problem and find the key to the solution much more easily and quickly than a beginner.

However, his subsequent opponents would all encounter some trouble within ten days to half a month. He only managed to find his opponent's weakness and win after fierce battles.

More often than not, the battle will reach a stalemate.

It can take several years, or even ten years!

He would be completely blocked by an opponent with a specific characteristic that was extremely effective against him, making it impossible for him to make any progress.

These opponents are all different and varied, but without exception, they all attack the weak points of his "Golden Lotus Blossoms" and even his entire combat system.

Some opponents are special life forms with naturally enormous divine bodies, such as the "Mountain Giants," which simulate certain types of beings in the universe.

Their defenses were terrifyingly strong. When Hu Yanbo used the golden lotus formed by his telekinetic weapon to strike them, it was like steel needles piercing divine iron, leaving only shallow white marks and failing to cause any real serious damage.

He must constantly compress the golden lotus's energy to enhance its penetrating power and explosive force.

Some opponents are simulated energy life forms, such as the "illusory jellyfish".

When a physical attack lands on it, its power will be dispersed, absorbed, or refracted.

Hu Yanbo needs to continuously integrate the profound mysteries of spatial strangulation into his secret techniques to form a continuous high-frequency oscillating cutting field in order to effectively kill enemies.

Some opponents possess bizarre defensive or reflective abilities, such as a certain type of 'Crystal Clan' life form.

Their crystalline shells can partially reflect the energy of attacks, allowing Hu Yanbo to experience the backlash of his own techniques.

He had to study how to make the Golden Lotus's outburst more restrained and its control more exquisite, so that the energy would be condensed and not dispersed, and could attack the enemy without harming himself.

......

After 1,800 years of arduous struggle and dedicated research, Hu Yanbo gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of strangulation and was one step closer to the task of repaying the system. However, he also finally faced his 1000th opponent!

This is an extremely rare and special life form—the 'Void Shadow Spider'!

It has no fixed physical form, as if it is composed of countless distorted spatial rifts and pure shadow energy. Its movement is unpredictable and it can easily blend into the void to carry out short-range flashing attacks.

What's even more troublesome is that it has extremely strong resistance to physical attacks. When Hu Yanbo's golden lotus bombards it, most of its power is dispersed and absorbed by its shadow body, making it difficult to cause effective damage.

This battle was exceptionally frustrating and difficult.

The golden lotus formed by Huyan Bo's telekinetic weapon bloomed again and again, but it always seemed to strike empty air or be easily slid away by the shadows.

However, the Void Shadow Spider's elusive attacks repeatedly tore through his defenses, putting him in grave danger.

They fought for nearly two hundred years!

Hu Yanbo was firmly held back by this strange opponent, and his divine body collapsed countless times.

However, after a century of extreme pressure and countless failures, quantitative change finally led to qualitative change!

The golden lotus is oscillating at high frequency!

The spatial cutting ripples on the edge of the petals are so fine that they seem to transform into countless tiny spatial saw teeth, forming a continuously existing, constantly high-frequency cutting micro-domain!

This domain is like a persistent, insidious infection, firmly locking onto that shadowy energy!

"hiss--!"

The Void Shadow Spider let out a sharp screech, and its twisted shadow body fluctuated violently within the high-frequency oscillating cutting field, unable to maintain a stable form any longer, and its energy was rapidly annihilated!

The 1000th opponent, defeated!

The moment the battle ended, the entire virtual starry sky seemed to fall silent.

Hu Yanbo hovered in place, breathing slightly, feeling the almost exhausted mental energy in his body, as well as the fully formed secret technique insights in his mind.

It worked!

After a brief silence, an indescribable surge of ecstasy and excitement, like a volcanic eruption, instantly overwhelmed Huyanbo's mind!

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" Hu Yanbo couldn't help but burst into laughter in the starry sky, his laughter filled with boundless joy and pride!

"Peak Secret Technique! The pinnacle secret technique of material attack!"

"It's done!"

At the Immortal God stage, Hu Yanbo possessed both the peak soul attack technique "Lotus of the Void" and the peak physical attack technique "Golden Lotus Blossom"!

Soul and matter, two unparalleled skills!

All reached their peak!

"Who else?!" Hu Yanbo laughed triumphantly, his heart brimming with pride!

"Only the boss! Only the boss can do that!" Babata exclaimed, his little face full of admiration and excitement.

"A dual peak technique of soul and matter! Boss, you are definitely one of the immortals!" It gave a thumbs up.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo's laughter subsided. He turned to look at Babata's exaggerated appearance and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Babata's praise brought him down slightly from his peak of extreme excitement.

Yes, my earlier "Who else?" was just an unconscious outburst of pride after achieving my goal with great effort.

He wouldn't dare, nor would he need, to actually shout those words at the vast universe.

The universe is vast and boundless, teeming with billions of races and countless extraordinary beings!

While creating two peak-level secret techniques is certainly a remarkable achievement, it is by no means unique.

Throughout human history, those peerless geniuses who appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs, those beings who could kill marquises or even contend with kings during the era of world lords, were all exceptionally talented.

Let's not talk about anything far in the future, just about someone in the future!!!

Hu Yanbo quickly regained his composure.

Complacency is a major taboo on the path to becoming a strong person.

"Alright, Babata, stop flattering me." Huyanbo's tone returned to its usual composure, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I've successfully created this ultimate technique. It's time to go see Master Xia Yuanhuang!" Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

With a flicker of his body, Huyan Bo vanished!
