Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 112 Original True Explanation

A towering giant, nearly 100,000 feet tall, stands between heaven and earth.

His body shone with divine light, making him look like a divine giant.

"breathe--"

With a single inhalation, the giant god unleashed a massive storm.

The vast amount of cosmic crystals stored in this world shattered instantly.

Endless cosmic energy surged forth, transforming into a massive tornado that plunged wildly into the giant's mouth and nose.

As this massive amount of energy was poured in, the giant's aura became increasingly deep and profound.

After a long time, the energy storm that swept across the entire world gradually dissipated, and the aura emanating from the divine giant gradually became more subdued.

"call!"

The giant figure gradually shrank, returning to Zhou Yang's original appearance.

He silently sensed the powerful energy within his body, which resembled a volcanic eruption, and boundless joy welled up on his face.

All 36 divine treasures awakened, transforming into a 'primordial divine body' comparable to the first ancient god. His clone underwent an incredible transformation!

Perhaps, this clone's body can no longer be called human, but should be called an ancient god, the ancient god race!

He essentially possessed an avatar of an ancient god!

"It's incredible that even the very essence of life has undergone a transformation."

Zhou Yang closed his eyes and sensed the various abilities of this clone, quickly becoming familiar with them.

He originally thought that the people of the ancient god world did not cultivate the laws, but instead focused on the physical body, relying on opening up one physical body divine treasure after another to obtain power comparable to that of cultivators outside.

However, after Zhou Yang activated all 36 divine treasures and transformed into the 'Primordial Divine Body', he realized that he had guessed wrong.

This ancient god's cultivation method is not devoid of laws, but rather its application is more complex and subtle.

After the 36 divine treasures were lit up, each of them was imprinted with intricate and strange runes.

It is through the influence of these strange and mysterious patterns that these divine treasures possess all sorts of incredible abilities.

On these secret patterns, Zhou Yang clearly sensed a trace of the primordial laws.

However, this subtle meaning is somewhat unfamiliar, as if it contains the shadow of the law of water, or a fragment of the law of wood. Upon closer inspection, it seems that one can also sense the slight fluctuations of the three fundamental laws of metal, fire, and earth.

After a long time, Zhou Yang accepted a fact with some disbelief—the intricate and strange patterns imprinted in the Thirty-Six Divine Treasures were very likely an application of a fusion law.

A brand new law that integrates the five basic elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!

By imprinting the laws upon oneself and fusing the physical body with the laws, one can unleash the power of endless laws with every move!

This is practically a humanoid weapon!

"This...this sounds a bit like treating human bodies as treasures for refining."

"The fusion of the five elements, the physical body used to forge weapons—it's truly incredible!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt that he had touched upon the true secrets of this world.

"However, it seems that all of this is missing the most important link. That's right, it's the 'One True Method'!"

His eyes gleamed. "It seems I absolutely have to make a trip to those ancient temple ruins!"

Next, Zhou Yang's main body and his "Ancient God Avatar" began to act separately.

His true form continued to roam among the cities, collecting more ancient god blood.

This item is extremely valuable, and it would be a good choice whether to sell it to a virtual universe company or to use it with your relatives and friends.

Meanwhile, his 'ancient god avatar' concealed its tracks and rushed quickly toward the ancient temple ruins at the very center of this world.

Three months later, Zhou Yang's ancient god avatar successfully arrived at a vast and boundless abandoned land.

Everywhere you look, there are broken walls and ruins.

Wisps of blood-red mist drifted through the ruins, and occasionally, the figures of savage beasts or explorers could be seen searching through the blood mist.

Before the endless ages, the world of the ancient gods was invaded by beings from beyond the heavens.

The powerful beings of this world once engaged in fierce battles with extraterrestrials here.

That battle was extremely fierce, with ancient gods directly participating, and countless world-level experts joining the fray.

The fierce battle shattered the space of this world.

Ultimately, the extraterrestrials were completely driven out, but many powerful beings also perished in this world.

Even the temples that represented the dignity and status of the powerful were destroyed, leaving only the thirty-six core main temples still standing.

However, the masters of these temples disappeared after that battle and never appeared again.

Millions of years later, a new generation of powerful individuals began to rise, and this place gradually became a place of opportunity for these descendants.

The magical artifacts, weapon fragments, and even the flesh and blood of fallen powerful figures are invaluable treasures for future generations.

Even the battle marks left by the powerful warriors have become the 'Taoist charm' worth comprehending for future generations.

Over millions of years of exploration, later generations divided the area into the outer ruins area and the core area of ​​thirty-six temples, based on the opportunities and dangers associated with it.

The outer ruins area is less dangerous, but also offers fewer opportunities, making it a favorite treasure-hunting location for some universe-level and domain-lord-level adventurers in the ancient god world.

The most central area, the Thirty-Six Temples, is the dwelling place of the thirty-six ancient gods of this world, and the opportunities left behind are the most precious.

However, it has long been occupied by newly promoted 'Ancient God Realm' powerhouses, who have refined it into their own dojos.

Aside from their disciples, anyone else who dares to enter will be seen as provoking them and will be directly annihilated by the ancient gods!

At the junction of the ruins area and the temple area, Zhou Yang's ancient god avatar silently sensed the location.

A faint, yet undeniable, force of attraction emanated from the towering, magnificent palaces in the distance, drawing him ever closer.

It seemed as if some mysterious voices were echoing in his mind.

However, perhaps because of the great distance, the sound was extremely muffled and difficult to discern.

"I probably don't need to actually enter those ancient temples, just getting close enough will suffice."

Zhou Yang pondered silently in his heart.

"The divine senses of those 'ancient gods' should normally only be focused on the area around their own temples, and wouldn't appear to be constantly scanning the surroundings."

"If I unleash my full power, it should only take me a dozen seconds to rush into the core area of ​​that temple."

"Give it a shot!"

He quickly made up his mind.

He didn't possess the powerful talent for replication and concealment like Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone, so he had no choice but to take the risk and try.

He took a deep breath, his muscles tensed, and his blood surged, giving him immense power.

"Tch~"

His figure shot out like a black arrow, instantly crossing the boundary of the temple area and rushing forward.

His guess was correct; those ancient god powerhouses were not constantly monitoring the outermost area, and he was not directly attacked.

"Hurry up!"

He dared not linger and rushed forward, his figure almost blurred into a black line.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Three seconds passed, and he had already traversed tens of thousands of kilometers. The voice in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he had not yet been targeted by the 'Ancient God Realm' powerhouses in the core area.

"So close, so very close!"

He continued charging forward.

Fourth second, fifth second, sixth second.

"snort!"

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

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic hand, seemingly capable of covering the entire world, manifested in the sky.

"Buzz~"

As the enormous hand descended, the surrounding space was instantly locked in place.

Zhou Yang felt his body tighten, and his forward momentum stopped instantly. The immense pressure bound him in place, making him unable to move.

However, he felt no panic whatsoever.

At this moment, it was as if a great bell was ringing in his mind, and mysterious and unpredictable sounds kept entering the depths of his consciousness.

Guided by this sound, the incredibly complex and strange runes in the thirty-six divine treasures of his body began to twist and connect rapidly.

Ultimately, the thirty-six mysterious runes intertwined, forming a massive network of runes covering the entire body.

A sudden realization dawned on Zhou Yang's mind.

"The original, true explanation!"
