Fewer than a thousand people are able to step into the Divine Repository Realm, and even so, the vast majority of them only break through their shackles through years of accumulation. Most of them exhaust all their potential after opening just one repository, and many have already entered old age, their vitality beginning to wane.

As for the Spirit-Seizing Realm above the Divine Repository, there is his father, the The Brooks Family clan leader Jack Brooks, as well as the The Brooks Family's guardian mountain beast—a Colin Brooks rumored to have lived for several centuries, having witnessed the reigns of several generations of clan leaders, always slumbering in the mountains and only awakening in times of clan crisis.

Stone Spear's words had a huge impact on his original martial cultivation, making him feel even more that the The Brooks Family, who ruled over ten thousand miles of land, was far too small!

……

At dawn, facing the rising sun, Henry Brooks gripped Stone Spear and rode a unicorn-horned horse, charging out of the The Brooks Mountains. He ran more than ten miles out of the mountains, then stopped to look back at the Brooks Mountain, still shrouded in mist.

“Father said that a man of Ethan Brooks should stand tall and proud, supporting the world for thousands of miles. Being timid and hesitant is for the women of the clan; if you’re a real man, you should do manly things—guard the Ethan Brooks legacy and protect the peace of the people within ten thousand miles!”

“I’ve already seized my opportunity and fortune, so I will never give up. Clans compete for survival, warriors fight for their lives!” Taking a deep look at his tribe, Henry Brooks dashed into the primeval forest.

The ancient, dense forest was filled with a sinister atmosphere. Amid the stench, all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants lurked. It had been two days since he obtained his opportunity from Stone Spear.

This time, there were no The Brooks Family clan soldiers accompanying him. Entering the wild ancient forest alone, having grown up guarding the primeval woods, he naturally understood the terrors within.

In order to break through the limit of body forging within two years and seize the coming fortune, he had no choice but to forge ahead.

Although the clan could still provide for his cultivation, some tempering could not be replaced by resources. He needed to reforge his body, and some battles had to be experienced personally to truly comprehend them.

Moreover, the Qiongqi bone pattern within his body needed to be reforged. Only by experiencing true life-and-death combat and reforging the bone pattern could he unleash the mysterious power contained within it and thus comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth.

And to reach the ultimate body-forging realm, all his previous cultivation would have to be discarded, and he would have to set foot on the path of body forging anew!

Towering mountains rose one after another, and the ancient trees were endless. Thick vines, as thick as an arm, coiled around the ancient trees like giant pythons.

In the void, the cries of fierce birds echoed. Some were as large as thirty feet across; with a single dive, they could destroy all the ancient trees within a radius of over thirty feet. In the midst of these trees, Henry Brooks did not dodge in the slightest.

This was his third day in the ancient forest. He had encountered a total of twenty-seven fierce beasts, slain eleven of them, severely wounded three, and the rest he had only glimpsed from afar before desperately fleeing.

“Chirp!”

The talons of the Yuan Ge bird slashed through the forest like giant halberds, sweeping across his body and slicing the air with explosive sounds.

“Kill!”

Henry Brooks shouted, gripping Stone Spear as a bone pattern flashed into existence. The phantom of a strange fierce beast leapt out.

Clang!

Stone Spear collided with the Yuan Ge bird’s halberd-like claws, producing a metallic resonance. Instantly, a severed claw flew off, blood gushing wildly. The giant bird shrieked in pain, letting out an earth-shattering cry.

“Again!”

Henry Brooks swung Stone Spear once more, the bone pattern manifesting as he smashed toward the Yuan Ge bird’s head.

Empowered by the bone pattern, Stone Spear struck the bird’s head, splitting open a massive bloody gash, blood gushing out like a spring.

Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged into the warm blood, his whole body drenched, yet his pores seemed to breathe in the blood’s glow.

Chirp!

The Yuan Ge bird was not yet dead, letting out an unwilling roar. Henry Brooks reached out, grabbed its neck, and with a flash of blood-red light from his arms, twisted its neck, causing blood to gush out even more violently.

Men of the great wilderness are born steeped in blood, so he felt no fear at all for what he had done.

“My internal vitality is almost completely depleted. By severing my previous cultivation like this, the impact on my body can be minimized!”

At this moment, a look of determination and fierceness appeared in Henry Brooks’s eyes.

“Ah…!”

A beast-like roar rang out. His whole body, glowing with blood, erupted with a torrent of heat from within like a volcanic eruption, streams of blood energy spurting from his pores.

The blood glow that had been floating on his body, like a pouring flood, suddenly all burst out from within. Even though he had already consumed most of his internal vitality over the past few days, the pain still caused him to collapse onto the Yuan Ge bird’s feathers.

No destruction, no creation!

Three years of body forging had caused a kind of rigidity within him. To reach the ultimate realm, he had to start over!

What’s more, the most important thing was the Qiongqi blood energy that had given rise to the bone pattern—this was a treasure he could not bear to waste.

Bean-sized beads of sweat mixed with blood, and the intense pain made his youthful face contort.

“Senior Stone Spear, help me comprehend the Qiongqi bone pattern anew!” he gritted his teeth, forcing the words out from between them.
