Chapter 276 He's Gone Mad! He's Actually Going to Hand-Craft a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon i
Deep within the treasure vault, the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquefied; every breath felt like drinking a highly concentrated energy drink.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the spirit stone mountain that he had cut in half, holding the liquid-flowing [Tai Bai Jing Jin Mu] in his palm.
The silvery-white metal sphere bounced restlessly in his hand, and the surrounding space was constantly being shattered by that sharp energy, emitting a fine hissing sound.
"Spiritual Master level, mastering local rules."
Lu Sheng stared at the metal ball in his hand, a habitual wild smile curving his lips.
"That sounds so mysterious, but isn't it just about stuffing this thing inside your body and making it obey you?"
His logic was simple: I am a dragon, and dragons can devour everything.
Since this thing contains the laws of metal, then let's devour it completely and digest it into our own power.
Simple, direct, and efficient.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and the Dragon God sequence within his body began to roar. That domineering will belonging to the top of the food chain surged out along his meridians, transforming into an invisible giant maw that fiercely bit down on the Taibai Essence Gold Mother in his hand.
"Get the hell out of here... melt it!!"
boom!
The moment Lingyuan came into contact with the liquid metal, a sudden change occurred.
The previously flowing metal sphere suddenly solidified, and then an extremely repulsive and sharp will erupted from it. It was not like a tamed sheep, but more like a neutron star that had been detonated.
Rules are not fuel.
It is the skeleton of the world, the defined truth.
You want to devour "truth"? Then be prepared to have your teeth shattered.
"Ugh—!!"
Lu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
He felt a sharpness thousands of times greater than the blade's edge, flowing upstream along his spiritual source and instantly surging into his dantian, into the nascent, still-forming domain.
There was no buffer.
The golden dragon shadow that was coiled within the domain was like a rag doll being stuffed into a meat grinder the moment it came into contact with this power of law.
Bang! ! !
A muffled explosion resounded within Lu Sheng's body.
That wasn't an explosion of spiritual energy; it was the collapse of the rules.
Countless golden metallic storms shot out wildly in all directions, with Lu Sheng at the center.
Those were the uncontrolled laws of metal, sharp enough to cut through atoms, and violent enough to tear apart space.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!
The expensive black combat suit Lu Sheng was wearing instantly turned into countless strips of cloth fluttering in the air. Next came his skin, which was comparable to divine metal.
Blood splattered.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng looked as if he had been slowly tortured, with thousands of deep, bone-revealing wounds appearing all over his body, dripping with blood and a gruesome sight.
The surrounding mountains of spirit stones were caught in the storm and instantly pulverized into dust, raising a cloud of shimmering powder.
The commotion was so great that the entire independent little world was shaking violently.
The fiery red area in the distance.
Luo Tianfei, who was carefully refining the phoenix wood heartwood with the divine phoenix fire, was startled awake. She turned around abruptly and saw Lu Sheng covered in blood, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise, which quickly turned into undisguised mockery.
"puff."
Luo Tianfei crossed her arms, a phantom of a divine phoenix swaying behind her, her voice cold yet tinged with schadenfreude: "I thought you were going to cause some earth-shattering commotion, but it turns out you're just trying to commit suicide?"
She saw the problem at a glance.
"Rules are for understanding, weaving, and guiding; they are the cornerstone of building a domain." Luo Tianfei shook her head, as if looking at an uncivilized barbarian. "You actually want to swallow it whole? Lu Sheng, you have a big appetite, but some things, once eaten, will rot through your stomach."
Lu Sheng wiped the blood from his face. The wounds were rapidly healing and scabbing over under the dragon's terrifying self-healing power.
He did not refute it.
Because that big, stupid bird is right.
This time, he misunderstood.
"That was too hasty."
Lu Sheng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Looking at the still aloof and seemingly mocking Taibai Refined Gold Mother in his palm, the ferocity in his eyes intensified.
If you can't even handle an inanimate object, what are you talking about causing trouble at a holy site?
Since "eating" doesn't work, let's try another method.
"system."
Lu Sheng thought to himself coldly, his voice terrifyingly calm.
"Stop playing dead, turn on full power analysis, I want to see through this thing's ancestors for eighteen generations."
[Ding! Host request received!]
[Dragon Eyes... operating at full power!]
[Warning: This mode consumes a great deal of mental energy. Please proceed with caution!]
hum!
Lu Sheng's eyes changed instantly.
The center of that originally dark gold vertical pupil split into countless fine concentric circles, like a high-precision microscope that was focusing at an extremely fast speed.
The world has changed.
Luo Tianfei's figure transformed into a burning purple particle stream; the spirit stones beneath her feet became neatly arranged energy lattices; and the ball of Taibai Refined Gold Mother in her hand...
It's no longer a metal ball.
Those were countless golden chains!
The dense, intricate golden runes connected end to end, forming tiny "chains of laws".
They intertwine, entwine, and vibrate, each vibration radiating a definition of "hardness" and "sharpness".
"I see……"
Lu Sheng's heart pounded as he gazed at the magnificent and spectacular microscopic world before him.
This is the essence of rules.
It's not energy, it's code.
It is the underlying logic that constructs this material world.
He tried to wrap the chains with spiritual energy, but it was like trying to wrap a red-hot iron wire with cotton; it would naturally be shredded.
The right approach is to become a weaver yourself.
Use your mental power to dismantle these chains, and then reassemble them according to your own will!
"Understood."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the previous madness was gone, leaving only a deep, abyss-like focus in his eyes.
He extended a finger, and a strand of mental energy, ten thousand times thinner than a hair, condensed at the fingertip, and carefully probed into the microscopic storm of chains.
"Laugh."
Without turning his head, Lu Sheng said something to Luo Tianfei in the distance.
"Don't let your jaw drop in surprise."
Luo Tianfei frowned, about to retort, but suddenly shut her mouth.
Because she sensed a strange aura.
It wasn't an outburst of power, but rather a chilling...sense of order.
Lu Sheng's fingers moved slightly in the air, the movements so fast that they left afterimages, yet so precise that they resembled a brain surgery.
He is "stealing" the rules.
He extracted golden rune chains from the Taibai Refined Gold Mother and then introduced them into the nascent form of his own domain.
"The golden dragon... shouldn't just be an illusion."
In Lu Sheng's mind, the image of the "Five-Clawed Golden Dragon" began to collapse and recombine.
If we're going to play by the rules, let's go big.
What I want is not a fake dragon made of energy.
I want to forge a... a real, solid metal dragon, invulnerable to swords and spears—a five-clawed golden dragon!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
As Lu Sheng moved, the air in front of him began to distort.
Countless golden points of light were frantically converging, compressing, and arranging themselves.
This is not magic; it's a physical process of matter rearrangement!
One minute.
ten minutes.
One hour.
Lu Sheng's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was as pale as paper, signs of mental exhaustion.
But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, frighteningly so.
"Get the hell out of here... freeze!!"
The final runic chain closed.
Ding--!
A crisp, melodious metallic vibrato, like heavenly music, suddenly rang out in the silent treasure vault.
Luo Tianfei's eyes widened suddenly.
Before Lu Sheng, a palm-sized object slowly fell.
That was a dragon scale.
A solid dragon scale, entirely dark gold in color, with sharp, knife-like edges and intricate natural patterns flowing across its surface!
It is not a manifestation of spiritual power, nor is it an illusion.
It fell to the ground with a crisp "clang," cutting directly through the hard basalt ground, with half of its body embedded in it.
It is real matter!
"This...how is this possible?!"
Luo Tianfei cried out in surprise, her figure flashing in front of Lu Sheng as she reached out to touch the dragon scale.
"Don't move." Lu Sheng grabbed her wrist, grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, "Be careful you don't lose your hand."
Luo Tianfei looked down and saw that the air within three inches of the dragon scale had been cut into a vacuum by the restrained sharpness.
Luo Tianfei looked at Lu Sheng as if he were a monster.
"That's what you call talent."
Lu Sheng released his grip and bent down to pick up the dragon scale.
The heavy, weighty feel and the icy touch instantly ignited the passion within him.
now it's right.
This is the path he wants to take.
A single scale is a divine weapon.
If all 36,000 scales were forged...
Before Lu Sheng's eyes appeared a terrifying behemoth that stretched across the galaxy, its body forged from ultimate metal, and every cell engraved with rule runes.
That will be the hardest shield and the sharpest spear in the world.
One piece isn't enough.
Lu Sheng turned to look at the mountain of spirit stones, then at the Taibai Refined Gold Mother he still had in his hand. His greed erupted again, even more intense than before.
"System, try again!"
"I'm going to carve this dragon out piece by piece!"
Inside the treasure vault, a golden storm raged once more.
This time, however, the storm has a master.
