Chapter 112: Original True Insight

A towering giant, nearly a hundred thousand zhang tall, stood between Heaven and Earth.

On his body, the treasure light of each Divine Treasury glittered, making him look like a divine giant.

"Hoo——shhh—"

The divine giant performed a Swallow, instantly raising a massive storm.

The countless Universe Crystals stored in this world shattered instantly.

Endless Cosmic energy surged in, forming a huge tornado that wildly plunged into the giant's mouth and nose.

As this massive energy poured in, the giant's aura grew ever deeper and more profound.

After a long while, the energy storm that had swept Heaven and Earth gradually faded, and the divine giant's aura fluctuations became more restrained.

"Hoo!"

The ten‑thousand‑zhang giant's figure gradually shrank, restoring Zhou Yang's original appearance.

He silently sensed the powerful energy within his body, like a volcanic eruption, and endless joy rose on his face.

All thirty‑six Divine Treasuries awakened, forming a Primordial Divine Body comparable to the first Ancient Gods; this Doppelganger of his underwent an incredible transformation!

Perhaps this Doppelganger's body can no longer be called human, but should be called an Ancient God, an Ancient God race!

He now possesses a Doppelganger of the Ancient God race!

"Truly incredible, even the very source of life has transformed"

Zhou Yang closed his eyes and sensed, soon becoming familiar with the various abilities of this Doppelganger.

He originally thought that people of the Ancient God World did not practice laws, but focused on the flesh, obtaining power comparable to external cultivators by opening one flesh Divine Treasury after another.

However, when Zhou Yang opened all thirty‑six Divine Treasuries and became the Primordial Divine Body, he realized his guess was wrong.

The Ancient God's cultivation method is not a lack of law, but a far more complex and obscure application.

After the thirty‑six Divine Treasuries were lit, each bore an incomparably intricate strange sigil.

It is under the effect of these strange sigils that each Divine Treasury possesses unfathomable abilities.

And on these sigils, Zhou Yang clearly sensed a hint of the Fundamental Law.

Only this hint felt unfamiliar, like a shadow of the Water Law, also like a fragment of the Wood Law; looking again, one could sense slight fluctuations of the Gold, Fire, and Earth Fundamental Laws.

After a long while, Zhou Yang, somewhat unwilling to believe, accepted a fact—that the countless intricate strange sigils imprinted in the thirty‑six Divine Treasuries were very likely an application of a Fusion Law.

A brand‑new law that fuses the five basic laws of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!

Imprinting the law onto oneself, the flesh merges with the law, and with a gesture one can summon endless law power!

It's literally a humanoid weapon!

"This… this sounds a bit like treating the human body as a treasure to forge."

"The Five Elements fusion, forging flesh into weaponry, truly incredible!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt he had finally touched the true secret of this world.

"But now these things seem to lack the most crucial piece. Right, it's the Only True Method!"

His eyes glittered brightly, "Looks like we must go to the Ancient God Temple Ruins for a trip!"

Next, Zhou Yang's original body and his Ancient God Doppelganger began to act separately.

His original body continued wandering among city after city, gathering more Ancient Divine Blood.

This item is extremely valuable; whether sold to the Virtual Universe Company or given to friends and family, it's a fine choice.

Meanwhile, his Ancient God Doppelganger concealed its trail, racing swiftly toward the central Ancient God Temple Ruins of this world.

Three months later, Zhou Yang's Ancient God Doppelganger arrived at a vast, boundless wasteland.

What met the eye were broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Strands of blood‑colored mist drifted through the ruins, occasionally revealing silhouettes of beasts or explorers threading through the blood mist in search.

Before the Endless Eras, the Ancient God World had been invaded by Outsiders from Heaven.

The world's strong ones once fought fierce battles here against the heavenly outsiders.

That battle was extremely brutal; ancient gods fell one after another, and countless world‑level strongmen participated.

The intense combat shattered the very space of this world.

In the end, the outsiders were completely expelled, yet many strong ones perished here.

Even the temples symbolizing each strong one's dignity and status were destroyed, leaving only the core thirty‑six main temples still standing.

However, the masters of those temples vanished after that battle, never to reappear.

Millions of years later, a new generation of strong ones rose, and this place gradually became a fateful ground for them.

The artifacts, weapon fragments, even flesh and blood of fallen strong ones are supreme treasures unattainable to later generations.

Even the battle marks left by the original strong ones became the 'Great Dao Resonance' worthy of later contemplation.

After millennia of exploration, later peoples divided the area into the peripheral ruin zone and the core thirty‑six temple zone based on opportunity and danger.

The peripheral ruin zone is less dangerous and offers fewer opportunities, making it a favorite treasure‑hunting spot for some Universe‑level and Domain Lord‑level adventurers of the Ancient God World.

The core thirty‑six temple zone, the dwelling and branching path of the world's thirty‑six Primordial Ancient Gods, holds the most precious opportunities.

Now it has long been occupied by newly risen 'Ancient God Realm' strong ones, who have refined it into their own sect halls.

Except for their disciples, anyone else who rashly enters will be seen as a provocation and will be directly slain by the Ancient Gods!

At the junction of the ruin zone and temple zone, Zhou Yang's Ancient God Doppelganger silently sensed.

A faint yet palpable attractive force emanated from the distant towering grand palaces, drawing him ever closer.

Some mysterious sounds seemed to echo in his mind.

Yet perhaps due to the great distance, the sounds were extremely vague, hard to discern.

"I shouldn't need to actually enter those Ancient Temples; just getting closer should suffice."

Zhou Yang silently pondered in his heart.

Those "Ancient Gods" divine thoughts usually only focus on the area around their own Temple and wouldn't constantly sweep the surroundings when nothing is happening.

"I unleash my full power; charging into the core area of that Temple should only take a few dozen seconds."

"Give it a go!"

He quickly made up his mind.

He lacks Luo Feng's Mo Sha Clan Clone's kind of replicating, hidden powerful talent, so he can only gamble on a trial.

He inhaled deeply, his whole body muscles tensed, his blood surged rapidly within, granting him great strength.

"Snort~"

His figure shot out like a black cold arrow, instantly leaping across the Temple's boundary and rushing forward.

His guess was correct; those Ancient God elites were not constantly watching the outermost area, and he was not directly attacked.

"Seize the time!"

He dared not linger, sprinting forward at speed, his silhouette almost blurring into a black line.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

After three seconds, he had already covered tens of thousands of kilometers; the voice in his mind grew clearer, and he still hadn't been targeted by the Ancient God Realm elite in the core area.

"Almost there, just almost there!"

He kept charging forward.

Fourth second, fifth second, sixth second.

"Hmph!"

At the sixth second, a cold snort suddenly sounded from a distant palace.

Immediately, a gigantic hand that seemed to cover the whole Heaven and Earth manifested in the sky.

"Buzz~"

As the massive hand descended, the surrounding space was instantly locked.

Zhou Yang only felt his body tighten, his forward thrust halted instantly, and the overwhelming pressure bound him in place, unable to move.

Yet his heart was not the slightest bit panicked.

At this moment, his mind rang like a massive bell, and mysterious, unfathomable sounds continuously entered the depths of his Consciousness Sea.

Guided by these sounds, the thirty‑six Divine Treasuries in his body began to rapidly twist and interlink, each bearing an incomparably complex, strange sigil.

Eventually, the thirty‑six mysterious sigils continuously interwove, forming a massive sigil network that covered his entire body.

A flash of insight instantly surged to Zhou Yang's mind.

"Original True Explanation!"
