Besides the Origin Blood of All Things, the little golden vial holding it also seemed to be a special secret treasure. Simply holding it allowed him to look within and see the many heavenly pillars of bloodline inside his body.
Before using the Origin Blood of All Things, the bloodlines within Chen Yu had been quite simple. Only his Divine Body blood and Void Emperor Blood had taken shape; the rest remained unformed and inconsequential.
But that changed after he used the Origin Blood of All Things.
Nourished and awakened by the Origin Blood of All Things, all the assorted, jumbled bloodlines within him had now emerged.
From Chen Yu's perspective, the world before him changed. Streaks of bloodline light shone, finally coalescing into heavenly pillars.
Besides the heavenly pillars representing his Void Emperor Blood and Divine Sacred Body, he saw another seven or eight clusters of heavenly pillars, all now fully formed and arrayed before him.
Upon sensing them carefully, he discovered that most of these seven or eight clusters brimmed with Imperial Qi, with a trace of imperial Dao laws flowing within.
Clearly, most of these bloodlines were connected to Ancient Great Emperors.
At the sight, the corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched, and his scalp prickled.
This blood was quite a mixed bag.
This was also something Earth's people in the Shrouding the Heavens World had in common.
As an excellent land for nurturing spirits, Earth had borne the traces of who knew how many ancient emperors and Great Emperors over the ages.
When an emperor's corpse developed sentience, the offspring it left behind were equivalent to an emperor's children.
The descendants of these people had huddled together on tiny Earth and intermarried, mixing the bloodlines of later generations.
Among them, Huang Di was the reincarnation of the Void Emperor, Shennong was Emperor Hengyu, and Chi You was the Jiuli Great Emperor. All were shared ancestors of Huaxia.
Besides these figures, there had also been Fuxi and Emperor Wa in even more ancient times, and they very likely left bloodlines behind as well.
As for the Lord whose influence swept across lands beyond Huaxia, it was hard to say whether he had any connection to the legendary Light Emperor.
All these bloodlines had mingled until even Chen Yu himself did not know how many kinds of emperor blood he possessed.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this blood was of little consequence.
After all, after so many generations and so long without cultivation, these bloodlines had long since thinned and fallen dormant, becoming no different from those of mortals.
But now, awakened by the Origin Blood of All Things, all these dormant divine bloodlines had revived, taking root within Chen Yu once more and beginning to exert their effects again.
"I was wondering why the Sacred Body Origin was still a little short. So all the effects got swallowed by this blood, huh?"
Chen Yu felt helpless, unsure what to say.
When using the Origin Blood of All Things, he could control its general direction, but some of its effects had still leaked out, leading to this result.
Still, this outcome had little impact on him.
For at the very center stood a dazzling golden heavenly pillar, suppressing everything like the divine needle that steadied the seas.
It was the heavenly pillar representing his divine sacred blood, standing there now.
Whether they were Ancient Emperor Bloodlines or other divine bloodlines, even the heavenly pillar representing the bloodline of the Void Emperor's son had to submit before the pillar of divine sacred blood, unable to compare.
The divine sacred blood towered over everything, holding absolute dominance.
Before a constitution like the Divine Sacred Body, even emperor-child-level bloodlines belonging to a Great Emperor's direct offspring could not suppress it, or even exert much influence over it.
Of course, these bloodlines themselves had little impact on Chen Yu either. They were merely parts of what constituted his origin.
"It's time to go out and have a look."
Having examined the gains from this transformation, Chen Yu looked outside, his eyes brightening once more.
Then he stepped forward and walked out.
The moment he stepped out, he drew the attention of Yan Ruyu and the others.
"Fellow Daoist, you..."
When Yan Ruyu and the others saw Chen Yu, their eyes widened in unison.
In Yan Ruyu's eyes, Chen Yu now seemed like a child of heaven and earth.
He stood there, clearly so close, yet he felt so distant, like a god-king enthroned on high, visible but beyond reach.
Before him, even the Azure Emperor Blood within her, which showed faint signs of awakening and was continually reverting to its ancestral state, struggled to bear it. Her body instinctively froze.
The old demon beside her looked even more shocked.
"He strides like a dragon and a tiger, his every movement drawing upon the momentum of heaven. He resembles an Innate Dao Embryo, yet is entirely different. Even the divine power within me faintly feels compelled to submit..."
The old demon's eyes widened. "Just what kind of constitution is this?"
He was deeply curious about Chen Yu's constitution.
The momentum Chen Yu had stirred during his transformation had already been astonishing. Seeing him in person now left him feeling as though he were beholding a celestial being.
"With such might, wouldn't even an emperor's son fall short?"
Elder Qing marveled as well, his face filled with shock.
For cultivators like them, who could already begin to perceive Dao laws and touch upon the Dao and its principles, the wonders of Chen Yu's body were readily apparent.
Leaving everything else aside, the vigorous divinity suffusing him alone was enough to draw attention.
Where mortal eyes could not see, a layer of divine light spread around Chen Yu.
This divine light was dazzling and incredibly intense. As it spread outward, it felt like facing heaven and earth themselves, extraordinarily overwhelming and suffocating.
Chen Yu felt helpless, unsure what he ought to say.
Under normal circumstances, even with a Divine Sacred Body, he would not have been so conspicuous without deliberately displaying it.
But his current circumstances were different. His Divine Sacred Body had only just taken shape, and that vast momentum still lingered upon him, unable to dissipate for a long time. Just as a newborn child could not control its cries, the Divine Sacred Body was proclaiming its existence to heaven and earth in this fashion.
Any cultivator capable of sensing it could perceive how extraordinary it was.
For Chen Yu, however, this situation clearly brought inconveniences.
Still, it was not much trouble. He only needed to wait a while longer for this presence to dissipate, and things would return to normal, free of these troubles.
Over the following days, the area around Chen Yu gradually returned to normal.
By the third day, Chen Yu could already control his presence, no longer letting it spread outward of its own accord.
It was also then that Pang Bo woke.
After the old demon left his body, he had fallen unconscious, his soul evidently adjusting to his physical body.
Now, at last, he had awakened.
The first thing he did upon waking was seek out Chen Yu.
Thud!
Under the gazes of Yan Ruyu and the others nearby, he dropped to his knees before Chen Yu with a thud.
"Master Chen!"
His face flushed with excitement as he kowtowed. "Words of thanks cannot repay such a great kindness. From now on, my life is yours!"
"Command me as you will. I will never complain!"
Chen Yu had already shown Pang Bo kindness before this. Whether it was protecting him during the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, the divine fruit afterward, looking after him in Spirit Ruins Paradise, or contacting his family on Earth, all were tremendous favors.
And rescuing him from the old demon this time was nothing less than saving his life.
Pang Bo was not an ungrateful man. Faced with such kindness, he naturally had to make a gesture.
