The Bewildered Hu Yanbo

Just as Hu Feng, Rong Bing, and a group of immortal gods were confronting each other in that Twin Star System, deep within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, in a crimson, pyramid-shaped spaceship, a clear child's voice suddenly rang out:

"Boss, my AI avatar has sent a message: Iron Sword is about to make his move in the Calabash Empire. The two Divine Lords of the Rongbing Empire are only mid-to-high-level Immortal Military Lords; they are definitely no match for Iron Sword!"

Following the sound, one could see a demonic child with two horns and sharp teeth standing in the main cockpit of the crimson warship "Meteorite Star," excitedly recounting news from afar.

As the demon child's clear and excited shouts rang out, a human youth who appeared to be in his twenties or thirties gradually smiled in front of the virtual screen.

This was a man dressed in a magnificent black robe, less than two meters tall, with a slender figure, handsome features, and a pair of narrow, elongated eyes that had a very feminine quality. He possessed a strange charm that could cleanse the soul.

His name is Huyanbo, and he is the sole master of the powerful force in the universe—the Meteorite Star.

Now, Hu Yanbo is in a very happy mood:

"Very good. Even if we don't get Yu Chenhou's inheritance, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's offer is estimated to be six or seven million Hunyuan units. If we get 65% of it, our financial problems will be greatly solved."

Over the years, Hu Yanbo has always lived a very frugal life.

The plant-like Moyun Vine was used to help the plant ascend to immortality, and the F9-class red copper mothership "Meteorite Star" was custom-made. Each one was extremely expensive. In addition, Hu Yanbo has only lived for more than 6,000 epochs so far, and his wealth accumulation is far less than that of an ordinary Marquis Immortal.

The cost of simply improving his strength has depleted his wealth as a prestigious five-star client of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, leaving him unable to even come up with four million Chaos Units.

"Congratulations, Master! Millions of Mixed Yuan Units are about to be credited to your account!"

"That Marquis Yu Chen was unlucky; his soul was severely injured by an immortal insect queen, but his assets did provide a lot of help to my master."

"Master will definitely be even more powerful than that Marquis Yu Chen in the future!"

"Of course, Master is a Soul Master; his soul techniques are already infinitely close to the Marquis level!"

Hu Yanbo's attitude immediately made the other seven immortal gods around him laugh. They were all Hu Yanbo's soul servants, and at this moment they were all respectfully flattering Hu Yanbo.

Hu Yanbo found this very helpful.

He felt his strength was about to explode, and all he needed to do was accumulate wealth, exchange it for a high-level soul technique in the extraterrestrial battlefield's military merit system, and then successfully enslave a certain world lord-level Zerg queen as a soul slave...

"Boss, something's not right!"

As Hu Yanbo was envisioning his bright future, he noticed that his intelligent life form, the little devil Babata, had a serious expression and whispered something.

"What's wrong, Babata?" Huyanbo asked hurriedly.

He cared not only about the legacy of the deceased Marquis-level immortal deity Yu Chenhou, but also about the Iron Sword Marquis who was currently on the battlefield.

Right now, Iron Sword Marquis is Huyanbo's greatest asset and trump card. His combat power even surpasses that of Huyanbo himself, and he absolutely cannot be lost.

"Boss, the two great gods of the Rongbing Empire have found a very powerful helper who has actually blocked—no, suppressed—the Iron Sword!"

Despite being an intelligent life form, Babata's voice was somewhat hurried.

"What? Did they also find some Marquis-level expert?" Hu Yanbo frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Given his current financial situation, he really needs those millions of mixed units.

Upon hearing this, Babata's childlike face twisted slightly before he spoke in a low voice:

"No, it's not some powerful figure who has been granted the title of Marquis, but a... Realm Lord!"

"brush!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the image inside the main cockpit of the Meteorite Star immediately changed, and the original exterior scenery was 100% transformed into another vast starry sky.

In that starry sky, two cosmic tide-like laws are surging and turbulent.

One of them was a decadent man dressed in gray-black divine armor and wielding a simple iron sword. His body was surrounded by golden and spatial law ripples, and each of his sword strikes had the power to cleave stars.

It was none other than Tie Jianhou, Huyan Bo's marquis-level soul servant.

Confronting Iron Sword Marquis was a tall, imposing young man carrying a dark, jet-black spear.

The man seemed to be imbued with some kind of special combat technique; his entire being and his weapon, the spear, seemed to have transformed into a boundless black hole, possessing unparalleled density, mass, and unimaginable gravity.

The black hole-like man's understanding of the fundamental laws of space was even greater than that of Iron Sword Marquis. Every time his spear slammed down, Iron Sword Marquis had no way to dodge and could only choose to meet it head-on, and was then directly blasted away.

The battle between the two was very clear; the man with the spear had completely overwhelmed the man with the iron sword.

"That's... a Realm Lord?!"

This scene left Hu Yanbo, who was far away, and his seven other immortal-level soul slaves speechless, feeling suffocated for a moment.

They were all immortal gods, and it was immediately clear that although the man with the spear was in the upper hand, the energy he was using was inferior to that of the Iron Sword Marquis; it was not divine power, but merely the power of the world.

But even such a powerful being at the level of a realm lord completely suppressed Iron Sword Marquis in a head-on battle.

Huyanbo swore that in his long life of more than six thousand epochs, he had never seen anything so outrageous.

Although he had heard that some geniuses in the Giant Axe Arena had a level of understanding of the laws comparable to those of immortal kings, Hu Yanbo had always regarded it as a legend and a fabrication.

The chasm between a realm lord and an immortal god is an absolute difference in the essence of life. No matter how solid the inner world is, it cannot compare with the immortal god kingdom in terms of solidity. The two are separated by an insurmountable chasm.

But at this moment, that legendary world lord actually appeared before Hu Yanbo.

"Guixu Town!"

While pondering, Hu Yanbo saw the man let out a low shout, and a burst of law light suddenly erupted from the black spear in his hand. The profound power of the spatial origin law wrapped around it, sealing off all of Iron Sword Marquis's movements and forcing him to take the blow head-on.

"boom!"

This attack, imbued with the profound mysteries of the laws of earth and space, was so powerful that Iron Sword Marquis could barely parry before he was unable to withstand it any longer. His divine armor was instantly torn apart, his upper body was sent flying, and his lower body was shattered like a bubble by the terrifying power of the laws.

To Hu Yanbo's relief, Iron Sword Marquis seemed unaffected; his shattered lower body transformed into specks of golden light and instantly returned to its perfect state.

"Boss, Iron Sword is fine. He told me that the attack just now had no effect on his immortality!"

Soon, Huyanbo heard Babata's shouts and relaxed a lot.

Iron Sword Marquis is stronger than him, not only in terms of combat power, but also in the fact that Iron Sword Marquis mastered immortality earlier and is very familiar with the high-level application of this divine power.

Next, we'll have Iron Sword Marquis burn 1% of his divine power to defeat that realm lord with lightning speed...

"No, boss!"

Just as Hu Yanbo was about to give the order, the chubby little face of the intelligent life form Babata suddenly twisted, and then it exclaimed loudly.

"Iron Sword said that the realm lord's weapon was tempered with divine poison, and he's starting to show signs of his divine power dormant!"
