Chapter 242: Leaving

In the New Universe, Zhou Yang stared at the countless materials, artifacts, treasures and the like, packed densely across a vast stretch of Xingkong, and the joy on his face was simply beyond words!

He had just directly swept up the whole cave space, pulling every movable object into the New Universe.

Among the densely packed items, just the Peak Palace Type and Domain Type level Supreme Treasures numbered 53! Ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure Weapons, Supreme Treasure battle armors, etc., together amounted to a full 132! As for those below Peak Supreme Treasure, such as Ordinary Supreme Treasure, High‑tier Supreme Treasure, level‑based Supreme Treasure, there were none at all; it seems the lowest tier in this space is the Peak Supreme Treasure level.

Besides these fully formed Supreme Treasures, there were also well over a hundred half‑finished Supreme Treasures and a huge amount of materials, ores, metals, etc., for refining Supreme Treasures.

A half‑finished Supreme Treasure is essentially a Proto‑embryo that has already been refined into the embryonic form of a Supreme Treasure but has not yet been imprinted with any secret patterns; as soon as Zhou Yang can imprint sufficiently powerful secret patterns onto these Proto‑embryos, they can instantly transform into powerful Peak Supreme Treasures!

However, compared with those Supreme Treasures, half‑finished ones, and the massive amount of refining materials, what truly thrilled Zhou Yang was a colossal flame furnace, about nine light‑years tall and six to seven light‑years in diameter, resembling a steel‑forging furnace! This gigantic furnace glowed entirely in a fiery red hue, whether due to its material's own color or the extreme heat within.

At the open mouth of this massive flame furnace, one could see an almost endless sea of flames rolling and burning.

This crimson flame, its fuel unknown, has continued to blaze fiercely even after the endless Reincarnation Era.

Through his control of the New Universe, Zhou Yang could faintly sense the terrifying Annihilation power hidden within the boiling flames! In his perception, even a single Peak Supreme Treasure immersed in it would be instantly burned to ash.

And if anyone were to fall in by accident— even a Universe Strongest clad in Supreme Strongest Treasure battle armor— it would likely be unable to endure the Flame Smelting Furnace for even a short while! "This flame smelting furnace is definitely one of my greatest killing weapons right now!"

Zhou Yang was shocked! At certain special moments, he might even be able to use this flame furnace to directly slay a Universe Strongest! "Heavens, this truly is a great harvest! Even without counting the Supreme Strongest Treasures, the number of Peak Supreme Treasures I possess alone must already exceed the entire human race!"

Zhou Yang felt exhilarated.

It was, after all, normal.

If his guess is correct, this Wanku Gorge space is very likely the place that the powerful faction which once piloted the Universe Boat used specifically for mass‑producing Law Master‑style equipment (Peak Supreme Treasure tier).

The remnants of that powerful faction would constitute a wealth absolutely comparable to an ocean.

Moreover, during the long years before Zhou Yang entered this cave space, due to the destruction of the Universe Boat, it is estimated that many more Supreme Treasures and materials—like the Supreme Treasure palace he had previously seen in the outside world—were unintentionally carried out by the spewing flames and thunder energy, flying out to the outside world and being claimed by external treasure hunters.

"This time, harvesting so many Peak Supreme Treasures is enough to arm more than a dozen of my strongest doppelgangers!"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, "When the time comes, each of those dozen doppelgangers will possess Life Gene levels a thousand times higher, each clad in a full set of Peak Supreme Treasures, and the secret techniques they use will all be at the Universe Master's strongest fusion secret method level. Apart from a slight deficit in Divine Power, they will each almost reach the Five‑stage Top‑tier level!"

One person possessing a dozen doppelgangers of Five‑stage Top‑tier strength is simply horrifying to hear! Ignoring the factor of being a Universe Strongest, a dozen Five‑stage Top‑tier powerful Universe Masters would already be enough to sweep away any peak‑level powerful faction in the Original Universe! Logically, such a near‑violation of universal rules should be forbidden by the will of the Original Universe; throughout the Original Universe, beings like Luo Feng, Huangjian Lord, who can each command four powerful doppelgangers, are already considered extremely defiant of destiny.

Even Kandeli, as the originator of the Clone Technique that Zhou Yang first learned, could only muster doppelgangers whose combat power reached roughly seventy percent of his own after countless years of accumulation and cultivation.

And if he were to break through to become the Universe Master and then try to elevate each doppelganger to seventy percent of his own power, that would be far more difficult.

Not to mention the Supreme Treasures required for the doppelgangers, the series of resources needed to boost their souls, genes, etc., would already bankrupt Kandeli! For someone like Zhou Yang to casually spawn hundreds of doppelgangers, each guaranteed to be extremely powerful, is simply inconceivable! Yet this inconceivable thing has truly occurred! Of course, even when looking across the entire Original Universe's endless Reincarnation Era, it is estimated that only Zhou Yang could achieve this.

After all, others don't have the reverse‑destiny secret art 'Three Souls Nine Refinements' that bolsters Zhou Yang's soul, nor do they have the New Universe's endless primordial source that constantly replenishes a doppelganger's Divine Power; by a series of heavy coincidences, this created Zhou Yang's unique case! Still, such a fact is rather shocking if spoken aloud, so Zhou Yang does not intend to publicize it for now.

"With this huge windfall, I'm not lacking in Supreme Treasures for the time being."

Zhou Yang thought silently, "Next, I'll head toward the core of the Silver Token Space while continuing to contemplate the secret techniques."

"By the way, I must keep studying the Life Record, further enhancing Divine Power. The Treasure Refining Art also needs continual improvement; among the many Peak Supreme Treasures harvested this time, numerous secret patterns are worth referencing."

Zhou Yang only gave it a brief thought, yet realized there were still many tasks ahead.

"Take it step by step; one cannot gulp down a whole fat person at once."

He shook his head and smiled.

Then, looking again at the cave space, he saw it now completely empty, only gusts of Violent Wind, flames, and thunder being born in the void, flowing along some mysterious trajectory.

"Time to leave!"

He withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, then without lingering, instantly darted into the nearest Gully Channel.

With the Silver Token on his person, the suppression of Wanku Gorge no longer affected him.

After only a few teleportations, he arrived at the part of this Gully Channel near the outside exit.

First, he extended his New Universe Power to silently sense; after confirming that no other strong beings existed within a vast surrounding area, he swiftly darted out.

"All the treasures in the Wanku Gorge cave space have been taken by me; the strong ones who roamed Wanku Gorge from now on will likely find no more gains."

Zhou Yang silently sighed.

But of course he would not go around reminding others.

He raised his hand and released a cerulean‑blue ornate palace, one of the Peak Supreme Treasures he had obtained in that cave space.

The cerulean palace doors opened, and Zhou Yang stepped directly inside.

Then the cerulean palace ceased lingering, racing rapidly toward the upper exit of Wanku Gorge. (End of chapter)
