Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 80 Teacher, I have a surprise for you (revised)

"The Howling Moon King?!"

This name struck like a heavy hammer into the hearts of Meteorite King and the eight mechanical race kings behind him!

In the outer battlefield, due to the rules and tacit understanding among all parties, the truly "invincible king" powerhouse will not come to the outer battlefield.

Therefore, those powerful individuals whose strength far exceeds the limits of ordinary Kings and is infinitely close to the level of "Invincible King" have become the most outstanding combat force on the surface of the extraterritorial battlefield!

For example, Hu Yanbo when he unleashes his full power!

And the direct disciples of the Lord of the Universe!

For example, the Howling Moon King is the same!

The Meteorite King's metallic face was expressionless, but that didn't stop him from struggling internally.

Of course he knew how terrifying the Howling Moon King was; he was a formidable figure who ranked among the top in the entire Seventh Battlefield!

Although they outnumbered each other, they were no longer entirely confident against the Chaotic Demon King, who possessed powerful treasures and whose strength was unknown. And if they added the Howling Moon King to their ranks—

Of course, within their mechanical race camp, there are also powerful individuals who are close to being invincible and comparable to King Xiaoyue.

However, the so-called unity of the machine race is more of a unity led by the will of the higher-ups; it is a "top-down" unity.

Although he, the Meteorite King, possessed considerable strength, his status within the vast system of the Mechanical Race was far from being high enough to allow him to freely request top-tier experts to act on his behalf.

The deliberation, weighing the pros and cons, lasted less than three seconds.

"Hmph! You chaotic demon, I've remembered what happened today! Let's go!"

The Meteorite King acted decisively, letting out a reluctant snort, and released the subtle blockade on the surrounding space.

The eight kings behind him understood perfectly.

!brush!!

A series of streaks of light flashed, and Meteorite King and the others did not hesitate at all. They immediately used teleportation to quickly disappear from this void, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would run into the Fiend Star Howling Moon King.

Almost exactly ten breaths after Meteorite King and the others left, a buzzing sound rang out!

The space not far away rippled violently like water, and a terrifying aura that was far more domineering and ferocious than the Chaos Demon King suddenly descended!

A gigantic, silver-gray wolf-shaped figure tore through space. It was over a hundred meters long, with fur like steel needles, four paws treading on the void, and cold eyes scanning the entire scene with an arrogant disdain for all living beings.

It was none other than the Howling Moon King who rushed here after receiving the news!

For such powerful individuals, venturing into the outer battlefields is usually a solo adventure, unless it's between factions vying for a particular treasure!

The moment it appeared, its gaze instantly locked onto the four demon comrades, including the Chaotic Demon King, who were the only ones still present: "Chaotic Demon? You sent a message saying you'd discovered a precious soul-type treasure and wanted to offer it to me? Where is the treasure?"

Immediately following the instructions transmitted by Huyan Bo through the soul connection, the Chaos Demon King stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Highness Howling Moon King! I previously encountered the Purple Bell King of the Mechanical Race in this area. After a fierce battle, I managed to enslave him!"

As it spoke, it gestured to the Purple Bell King beside it, "During the inspection of his treasures, we discovered one called the 'Purple Bell.' Once activated, this bell can reduce the power of incoming soul attacks to one-tenth of its original strength!"

"Just now, the Meteorite King of the Mechanical Race led a team to try to seize this treasure and the Purple Bell King, but they were scared away by Your Highness's prestige," it added at the opportune moment.

"It can weaken a soul attack to one-tenth?!" A sharp glint of human insight flashed in the cold wolf eyes of Howling Moon King!

A soul defense treasure that can weaken an opponent to one-tenth of their original strength, if used well at the King level, is virtually untouchable by anyone through soul means!

Its value far exceeds that of many ordinary treasures!

"Haha, hahaha!" King Xiaoyue couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh, his voice shaking the void. "Good! Chaos Demon, you did very well! I didn't expect that after receiving the inheritance of the Divine General, not only did your strength increase so much, but your luck was also so good! Very good!"

very good!"

Its gaze toward the Demon King was filled with admiration and satisfaction.

"It's rare that you've acquired such a treasure and immediately thought of offering it to me! I will remember this kindness!"

The Howling Moon King was in a very good mood. Although it had many treasures, it did not have a single soul defense treasure!

The value of this purple bell is probably greater than all of its existing powerful offensive treasures combined!

"Your Highness's kindness is deeply appreciated! I will now present this Purple Bell to Your Highness!" The Demon King spoke with utmost respect and humility, and made a move to activate the World Ring to retrieve the precious soul defense treasure.

King Xiaoyue looked at the scene with satisfaction, feeling a sense of relaxation and anticipation, completely unaware that a crisis was about to descend.

In that split second, "Click!"

The seemingly ordinary world ring worn by the Chaos Demon King suddenly shattered without warning!

It wasn't forced to take out the item, but rather it exploded as if it couldn't withstand the terrifying energy inside!

A powerful aura, far exceeding the limits of a king and bordering on madness, suddenly spread out like a flood bursting its banks!

A purple, ancient and mysterious bell suddenly appeared out of thin air. What was even more unsettling was that inside the purple bell was a powerful king who had completely burned his immortal divine body!

Its flames intertwined with the laws of space, pouring its burning divine power recklessly into the Purple Bell!

This was precisely one of the deadly moves that Huyan Bo had meticulously prepared for his disciple, the Lord of the Universe: "Clang!!!"

Accompanied by visible deep purple ripples, the demonic sound, traveling at true light speed, hurtled straight towards the Howling Moon King, who was only inches away!

Too fast! Face-to-face distance, a light-speed attack!

This far surpasses the attack speed of any telekinetic weapon, and even exceeds the reaction limit of consciousness!

The Moon Howler's pupils didn't even have time to react with shock.

"Bang!!!"

The terrifying sonic waves struck the Howling Moon King's massive silver-gray wolf body solidly!

A muffled, deafening explosion, like stars shattering, rang out!

Like a piece of porcelain struck by a heavy blow, the surface of Howling Moon King's body was instantly covered with dense, shocking cracks!

A large amount of divine power leaked out from the crack!

"As expected, he is protected by an extremely powerful defensive treasure!" Hu Yanbo, who was hiding in the shadows, could see it clearly through the virtual universe connection on Zi Zhong Wang's hand.

He felt a chill in his heart; all of this was part of his plan.

If it weren't for top-tier armor or special protective techniques, that attack would have been enough to annihilate an ordinary King-level expert into dust!

However, this is only the first movement!

Almost immediately after the Purple Bell Demonic Sound struck Howling Moon King, causing his divine body to shatter.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The other two world rings worn by the Demon King shattered one after another, as if in a chain reaction!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A more violent, chaotic, and suffocating aura swept out like a cosmic storm!

Then, the figures of many powerful kings who had been enslaved by Huyan Bo appeared!

Together, they unleashed a torrential downpour, taking advantage of the moment when the Howling Moon King's divine body crumbled, and directly bombarded him!

"No one!!!"

The Howling Moon King let out a roar that was filled with pain, anger and disbelief, and its huge wolf eyes were finally filled with despair!

It desperately urged its remaining divine power and treasures to try to resist, but faced with such a terrifying combined attack, its defenses were torn apart instantly like paper!

His 100-meter-tall body instantly crumbled into countless particles!

The attacks have not stopped!

Just as the Howling Moon King's divine body was nearly annihilated, he shouted, "Ten Thousand Hearts Control Soul! Seize!"

Hu Yanbo emerged from the World Ring with a sharp look in his eyes and burned his Immortal Divine Body without hesitation!

Thrust straight at Howling Moon King!

Huyanbo's plan was extremely audacious and greedy!

In fact, if we had just caused those many king-level servants to simultaneously burn their divine power...

It was enough to completely annihilate the already cracked, hundred-meter-tall divine body of Howling Moon King into the most basic particle stream within a ten-thousandth of a second.

However, Huyanbo abandoned this "safe" path.

For Hu Yanbo, the complete annihilation of the Howling Moon King was nothing more than a collection of spoils of war.

As for the Lord of Sirius, he only needs to pay a price to revive him from the river of time.

A few precious treasures aren't particularly significant!

Successful enslavement is far more significant!

Therefore, after combining his own understanding of the strength of the Howling Moon King's divine body, the defensive power of the powerful treasures already revealed on his body, and deducing through the virtual universe.

That's why the above scenario occurred.

However, it's not a big problem, as long as it doesn't fall into a deep sleep.

As long as there is no soul treasure, it will not prevent Huyan Bo from enslaving people.

As for the soul treasure, it should be noted that the Lord of Chaos City did not bestow it upon Luo Feng when he went out to explore!

Not to mention the stingy Sirius!

As for why he didn't choose to go further and directly attack it until it fell into a deep sleep, it's because Hu Yanbo can't control the power of the "Lotus of the Void" now, especially since the target's divine body is already so fragile and affected by too many variables, making it impossible to accurately predict its strength.

This is similar to the situation on Earth: when facing a person who is already severely injured, has lost too much blood, and is on the verge of death, it is difficult to precisely control how much force to use in a blow that will just put him into a deep coma instead of killing him outright.

If the force is even slightly greater, all previous efforts may be in vain, resulting in the complete destruction of the target.

If the strength is even slightly weaker, it may not reach the critical point where it loses its ability to resist.

Therefore, Huyanbo decisively chose the path of forced enslavement.

It doesn't make sense. A soul master in perfect condition, with his divine body at its peak, and who had planned this all along!

They can't even defeat a Howling Moon King with a sliver of health!

The Howling Moon King's divine body had instinctively completed its reorganization, but it remained motionless in place.

Because within their souls, the two are already engaged in the most intense battle.

"Roar! You want to control me? No! No! No!" The soul of the Howling Moon King roared, and the pride of the Sky Wolf Clan royal family and the indomitable will of a near-king level burned like an inextinguishable flame deep within his soul!

"I'd rather self-destruct and perish, so my teacher can resurrect me from the river of time!"

"Once a soul is controlled and becomes a walking corpse, there is no possibility of resurrection! It will never be able to be reborn!"

"Break it!!!"

The Soul of Howling Moon King burned and surged wildly, gathering its last strength to transform into blades of will, fiercely slashing at the soul power that Hu Yanbo had infiltrated!

It's no wonder that those who can be accepted as personal disciples by the Lord of the Universe are all beings with astonishingly strong wills!

When an ordinary person is granted the title of Immortal, their consciousness will become blurred and their combat power will be reduced to less than one-tenth when their divine body is damaged by more than 50%.

More than 80% of them fall into a coma and are completely at the mercy of others.

As for the Howling Moon King, whose divine body was less than 20% complete and on the verge of falling into a deep sleep, his soul and will not only did not collapse, but were instead stimulated by the desperate situation to become more condensed and more frenzied!

This is a resilience that originates from the very source of life and racial pride, an iron will forged through countless battles!

If the Howling Moon King were to self-destruct and perish, and then be resurrected...

Having gone through this ordeal, one's willpower will most likely be able to reach the pinnacle, at which point one can truly step into the invincible stage of becoming a king!

"Break! Break! Break!"

However, it was facing Huyanbo!

King Xiaoyue has a strong will, so is Huyanbo's will weak?

That's definitely not the case!

Even Huyanbo's will was more resilient than his; he was determined to defeat him!

"Stubborn to the end!"

Under the protection of the "Ten Thousand Hearts Controlling Soul" secret technique, Hu Yanbo's ethereal divine power was like a vast and boundless black tide, or like countless incomparably tough soul chains, layer upon layer, wrapping around, penetrating, and squeezing Xiaoyue King!

"Your divine body is on the verge of collapse, your soul is rootless and adrift, what makes you think you can fight me?!"

"Your pride, your defiance, are nothing but a futile struggle before me!"

"I surrender!!!"

"I surrender!!!"

"I surrender!!!"

One, having rested and awaited the enemy's attack, was at his peak, yet his arrogance was gone;

One is a desperate counterattack, a spent force.

As the tide receded and the tide rose, no matter how resilient and unyielding the will of the Howling Moon King was, under the constant erosion of Huyan Bo, his roars of resistance gradually turned into desperate cries!

"Teacher!" Hu Yanbo asked Yuan Huang directly through the virtual universe, "In the Twin Spiral Domain of the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield, Gao Chengtao enslaved the Heavenly Wolf's personal disciple, Howling Moon King!"

"This disciple wishes to ask the master, regarding this kind of affection? Will the Heavenly Wolf, who has betrayed its master, become aware of the Howling Moon King's affections?"

While Hu Yanbo was excited about Cheng Tao enslaving Queen Xiaoyue, he was also somewhat panicked.

Although, according to his common sense, once an immortal god is enslaved by a soul, even the universe's ruler who controls time and space cannot distinguish him!

But—what if?

The other party is, after all, the Lord of the Universe!

The more incredible the power, the more likely it is that it has some unknown means to sense the abnormality of its direct disciple?

Are the original records always completely accurate?

This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for carelessness!

On the other side, in the Glory Secret Realm, at the top floor of the Abyss Palace.

The Emperor Yuan, who was sitting upright on the throne of stars, calmly deducing some kind of secret technique, suddenly froze on his gentle and jade-like face!

Those heterochromatic eyes, which originally shone with wisdom, seemed to have been replaced by a series of huge question marks.

"What?"

"Whom are you enslaving?!"

"The personal disciple of the Heavenly Wolf who betrayed his master?! The Howling Moon King?! On the battlefield beyond the realm?!"

Even with the composure of the Yuanhuang Universe Overlord, he almost stood up from his throne at this moment!

I had assumed that the disciples who hadn't had much trouble in the past few decades were slowly adapting to the intense environment of the extraterritorial battlefield and honing their skills.

But I never expected it would cause him such a big stir!

As billions of races in the universe wage war against each other, the virtuous have formed a tacit understanding that for those geniuses with great potential and high threat from the enemy camp, they will compile a secret "assassination list" and offer huge rewards of wealth or precious treasures.

Within the alien races, there are lists for human geniuses, such as "Dream King" ranking first and "Seven Sword King" ranking second.

Within the human race, there are also assassination lists targeting other top races.

The name of the demon race's "Howling Moon King" is prominently ranked second among demons!

The assessment is: Sirius is a direct descendant of the Lord, with pure bloodline. After cultivating for twenty eras, he has reached a high level of near-invincible kingship, and has great potential to become a cosmic grandson.

When he heard Hu Yanbo casually say that "Gao Chengtao enslaved the Heavenly Wolf's disobedient disciple, the Howling Moon King," even with Yuan Huang's mental fortitude and cultivation, he instantly felt his scalp tingle!

Enslavement and killing are completely different things!

Killing the Howling Moon King is certainly a huge event, but the Heavenly Wolf may be enraged for disobeying its master, and may not be able to ignore the consequences and pursue the matter further.

Enslavement means that the personal disciples cultivated by the Lord of Sirius will not only "fall" but also become puppets and fighting force of the human race!

This is a blatant trampling and provocation against the Lord of the Universe!

In an instant, countless terrible consequences that could be caused flashed through Yuan Huang's mind.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and tried his best to keep his voice calm, but the solemnity of his actions could not be completely concealed:

"Logically speaking, your enslavement by Cheng Tao means that King Xiaoyue was completely suppressed on a spiritual level, unable to have any contact with the outside world, and even self-destructed."

"The Lord cannot sense when Sirius disobeys His Master!"

He paused, his tone becoming more cautious: "But!"

"The power of the universe is unfathomable, especially when it involves important figures like his direct disciples. Let me inquire with my teacher for you!"

"You should return to the borderlands first. If you are discovered, the Heavenly Wolf, having disobeyed its master, won't have chased you here!"
