Chapter 111: Gathering

Zhou Yang silently sensed that, within his awakened Shen Zhi Shen Zang doppelganger, the blood had become as hot and viscous as magma.

Fine golden patterns wove like spiderwebs across each blood pearl, forming tiny yet intricate profound designs.

Each blood pearl turned crystal clear, as if golden specks of light were being nurtured inside.

At the instant those golden specks formed, a flash of insight rose in Zhou Yang's mind.

The golden specks in the blood actually contained a fragment of his own life‑source imprint!

With such a drop of pure blood existing, even if his mortal body were utterly destroyed to ash, as long as a single drop of blood remains, he can achieve Blood Rebirth.

Of course, this rebirth at most only preserves his life; his own power remains barely a fraction, requiring massive time and treasures to recover.

"Isn't this basically a weakened Undying Body?"

Sensing the change, Zhou Yang's face instantly showed delight.

He hadn't expected that awakening the Shen Zhi Shen Zang would bring such a wondrous transformation.

"No wonder the five divine repositories—Brain, Blood, Marrow, Bone, Vein—are the most mysterious, and their Divine Blood the rarest and most precious!"

"Try the others!"

Next, Zhou Yang used that doppelganger to fuse three drops of Divine Blood from other parts, subsequently awakening the Marrow Divine Repository, Bone Divine Repository, and Vein Divine Repository.

After the Marrow Divine Repository awakened, endless vitality erupted within his body, and in his perception it seemed some shackles had been broken.

His original lifespan cap of 100,000 years seemed to have increased slightly, to about 100,100 years.

But don't underestimate those 100 years.

One must know that the Universe Level maximum lifespan is 100,000 years, limited by universal law.

And the self who awakened the Marrow Divine Repository had actually surpassed this limit!

Although the excess is limited, it truly broke the universal rule.

The remaining Bone Divine Repository and Vein Divine Repository granted him nearly stone‑hard skeletal strength and terrifyingly rapid energy Swallow conversion speed.

He tested it: the reinforced bones could even withstand a full‑power strike from a peer doppelganger wielding a Third-level Force Weapon!

Moreover, the powerful energy conversion could replenish his depleted Original Force completely within seconds!

"Strong, too strong!"

"The cultivation methods of this world truly have unique merits!"

Zhou Yang's eyes gradually brightened.

This is only four divine repositories awakened, yet he can awaken all 36 divine repositories to become a true Primordial Divine Body; who knows what further power it will yield!

"Could this be the hidden secret of this world?"

He speculated in his heart.

"Never mind, whether for mission requirements or to explore this world's secrets, we must first gather all 36 types of Ancient Divine Blood."

"Looks like the next adventure will be a bit more daring."

Three days later, a world‑shaking battle erupted in Luoshui City!

The Outsider from Heaven who fled days earlier returned, proactively seeking the heads of the Three Great Sects.

That Outsider wielded a strange weapon, summoning a massive Blade Light World.

Sharp, terrifying Blade Qi crisscrossed, enveloping most of Luoshui City within it.

After dozens of breaths, the sky‑filled blade light gradually dispersed.

And the three mighty sect masters who had overseen Luoshui City for hundreds of thousands of years never appeared again.

After this battle, Zhou Yang successfully harvested six drops of Ancient Divine Blood, and after absorption, awakened the four divine repositories of Heart, Lung, Hand, and Foot.

Since then, thunder roared with each breath, endless energy surged from his heart, and the power of his limbs swirled to a terrifying degree, nearly shattering space!

A month later, in Dongning City, a bustling metropolis far beyond Luoshui City, Zhou Yang struck again.

After slaying the heads of the Four Great Families, he harvested eleven more drops of Ancient Divine Blood.

Unfortunately, this batch overlapped with previous ones, only allowing him to awaken the three divine repositories of Liver, Eye, and Ear.

He never stopped, continuing his actions.

Three months later he infiltrated the large city of Lu Hui City.

After using the Soul Confusing Technique to spark a war among the Six Great Sects, he reaped the benefits like a fisherman.

In this battle, he luckily harvested seventeen drops of Ancient Divine Blood, successfully awakening five new divine repositories.

Five months later, Xuelong City.

Harvested nine drops of Ancient Divine Blood, awakening two repositories.

Zhou Yang transformed into a hunter, rampaging across the land.

In just half a year, he collected close to sixty drops of various Divine Blood.

However, the later the collection, the more overlap occurred.

These nearly sixty drops of Ancient Divine Blood only awakened fourteen repositories.

Helpless, he could only keep moving.

Eight months later, in Tian Cang City, he harvested five more.

One year later, Gu Yue City.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed silently.

In a hidden underground cave, Black Armor and black helmet Zhou Yang sat silently in meditation.

"Finally, finally I've obtained another drop corresponding to the Brain Divine Repository!"

A smile of uncontrollable joy spread across his face.

There are thirty‑six types of Ancient Divine Blood, among which the five corresponding to Brain, Blood, Marrow, Bone, and Vein are the rarest.

Earlier, in Luoshui City, he saved Shi Qing, who, to thank him, gave all the Divine Blood he had collected in the ruins.

Among them, the Divine Blood of "Blood, Marrow, Bone, Vessels" each has two drops, while the Divine Blood corresponding to the "Brain Divine Repository" has only one drop.

He has not used it all this time in order to ensure the requirements of the Cultivation Mission.

Now there is finally an extra gain!

"The last drop of Divine Blood— I wonder what changes will occur after fusion."

In the world inside the World Ring on his hand, a Lu Se Dao Pian swiftly slashed across the Doppelganger's arm, laboriously opening a wound less than a finger deep.

In that wound, round, jewel‑like red blood drops continuously rolled.

Endless vitality burst from the blood drops, and the wound rapidly healed at a visibly observable speed.

"My Doppelganger's healing speed is nearly catching up with the effect of Life Yuan Power!"

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, yet he quickly introduced the corresponding final Ancient Divine Blood of the "Brain Divine Repository" into it before the wound fully healed.

"Buzz~~~"

At the instant that this drop of Divine Blood entered his body, Zhou Yang felt a thunderous shock in his mind, and the entire world seemed to brighten.

Radiant light, clear wind, vigorous life, twisted spacetime.

The world seemed to change its hue, becoming clear and transparent.

The Brain Divine Repository awakened, granting him unparalleled perceptual power!

It seemed even the fluctuations of the Eight Major Fundamental Laws became a bit clearer.

At the same time, with the awakening of the final Divine Treasury, the other already‑awakened 35 Divine Treasuries instantly erupted as well.

At the heart, fire‑like light surged, magma‑like blood slowly coursed through the whole body— the five organs, six viscera, five limbs, Nine Orifices.

Each Divine Treasury burst forth dazzling brilliance, and within his body it seemed a great bell was constantly resonating.

"Boom~~~"

At a certain moment, it seemed an invisible shackles was completely broken through!

His body began to rise rapidly.

Ten zhang, hundred zhang, thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang, ninety thousand zhang.

Finally, a towering giant nearly one hundred thousand zhang tall appeared in this world.

A breath of desolate aura, as if from the primeval wilderness, radiated from the towering giant.

The Doppelganger's aura surged even faster, soon surpassing the original body, and continued to swell.

Domain Master Level 1. Domain Master Level 3. Domain Master Level 9.

"Crack!"

As a certain boundary was shattered, this Doppelganger's aura suddenly leapt into an entirely new realm!
